In the blink of an eye, billions of powerful figures were reduced to ashes. These were all elite-level warriors who participated in the siege of the Dragonblood Legion. The weakest had even condensed seven life-bound dragon veins; otherwise, they wouldn't have the qualifications to enter the battlefield.
Among the billions of powerhouses, the Nine Veins Heavenly Saints accounted for nearly half, along with some terrifying Nine Veins Integration Level One experts, all of whom were wiped out.
One after another, in an instant, so many terrifying powerhouses vanished. Even experts of Jiang Yue'e and Feng Fei's caliber could not believe their eyes, thinking it was an illusion, a distraction, or a hallucination.
But with the disappearance of billions of powerful figures, several new ones appeared with thirteen dragon veins condensed on their backs. It turned out these experts had been hiding among the crowd all along, never showing themselves.
Now that everyone had been wiped out, they had nowhere to hide. Long Chen forced them out, and together with Fan Tiande, Li Changgeng, and six others, there were a total of thirteen supreme experts on the field.
"This move can't be grasped overnight. You should have known it long ago, so why didn't you use it?" At this moment, the voice of the Chaos Dragon Emperor echoed in Long Chen's mind.
Even it was stunned by Long Chen's strike. By fusing two opposing forces and detonating them, the terrifying impact was simply astonishing.
This fusion was simply wishful thinking. To succeed, it would require countless trials, but it had never seen Long Chen make any move, so it raised its doubts.
"How could I dare to use it? That guy kept staring at me. When I tried a move, he copied it, but I couldn't learn any of his moves. Too sneaky. Long Chen replied.
"Are you sure he's not spying on you now?" The Chaos Dragon Emperor said.
"When I was comprehending the Three Thousand Primal Divine Talismans, my first thought was to fuse the Eye Technique and use the Eye of Purgatory to spy on him in reverse. But I succeeded.
But I noticed that sometimes when he's not in his 'home,' when he's not home, he can't peek at me, and of course, I can't see him either.
I used him this time precisely because I saw him at home, which led to the previous arrangements. Long Chen chuckled.
"You're really sneaky!" The Chaos Dragon Emperor said with a bitter smile.
"Am I sly? That guy wasn't much better off. Facing such a powerful opponent as Zhu Yin, why didn't he gradually squeeze out his opponent bit by bit, but instead seized on a weak spot and took out Zhu Yin directly?
It's not that I'm worried that you, the Qiankun Cauldron, and Xie Yue will remember his moves and tell me the last ones, afraid I'll steal them.
This guy has been scheming to suppress me. I can't keep acting foolish, lest he suppress me and I'll be finished."
I've already secretly checked it with the Eye of Purgatory. After being hit by the Candle Yin Blood Curse, this guy has already run away from 'home.' He probably went somewhere to heal. No matter what move I use now, he won't be able to see me." Long Chen chuckled.
"Pfft..."
Communicating with the Chaos Dragon Emperor with divine sense was just a matter of the blink of an eye. The sound of him coughing up blood pulled Long Chen back to reality. Following the sound, he saw Yue Changfeng in a disheveled state.
At this moment, Yue Changfeng was covered in blood, and his pale yellow battle armor no longer shimmered with divine brilliance, having grown dim.
Many parts of his body were scorched and scorched, and his hair was even scorched. Clearly, the force of this strike was no longer enough for the Canghuang battle armor to withstand, causing him to be injured.
Previously, he had fought fiercely against Li Qi and Song Mingyuan, exhausting a lot of strength, and Li Qi's crystal battle axe struck him several times, each time blocked by the Canghwang Battle Armor.
If it weren't for the protection of the Canghuang Battle Armor, even as a Thirteen Veins Heavenly Saint, he would have been beaten to death by the two.
Now that the Canghuang Battle Armor had reached its limit, Fantian De, Li Changgeng, and the others were all safe and sound. Clearly, their strength far surpassed Yue Changfeng's.
Although Long Chen's strike was terrifying, its range was too vast and his power was dispersed, not enough to inflict fatal damage on a powerhouse of this level.
"Whew."
Suddenly, Long Chen moved. Yue Changfeng, who had just spat blood, was shocked. He thrust his spear forward fiercely while rapidly retreating.
What no one expected was that Yue Changfeng's strike pierced straight through Long Chen's chest, but Long Chen's large hand also grabbed Yue Changfeng's throat.
But when everyone looked closely, Yue Changfeng's spear had only passed right past Long Chen's body, not piercing it, as if everything he had just seen was an illusion.
"Smack"
Long Chen's large hand grabbed Yue Changfeng's throat. Yue Changfeng's body trembled, and he was instantly immobilized, like a chick in Long Chen's grasp.
Long Chen looked at Yue Changfeng with a sinister expression: "You're hopelessly foolish. Without my help, you wouldn't have been able to get your Canghuang battle armor."
Without the Canghuang Battle Armor, you couldn't condense thirteen Heavenly Vein Dragon Qi points. But when you grew stronger, you ended up leading the way against my brother.
I, Long Chen, have met countless people, but I have rarely seen a beast like you who repays kindness with ingratitude. "
Yue Changfeng's face was filled with terror, his former arrogance gone. He tried to struggle, but his body no longer obeyed him.
Turning to look at Fantian De and the others, he felt they should come to save him. After all, if he died, everyone would lose one less fighter.
But what made him despair was that none of them showed any sign of making a move; they just watched quietly, their faces cold and indifferent.
"Long Chen..."
From afar came a woman's mournful cry—it was Lu Qingshuang. She wanted to plead for mercy, but when the words reached her lips, she couldn't speak.
"It's useless. If he only targets me, there's still room to maneuver, but as long as he targets my brothers, even if the Heavenly Emperor comes to plead, it won't help!" Long Chen said coldly.
"Pfft"
With a loud explosion, Yue Changfeng's head shattered with a thunderous crash, killed by Long Chen with a single blow.
Yue Changfeng was simply too foolish. Among the many Thirteen Veins Heavenly Saint experts, he was the weakest. Everyone saw him as a clown, unaware of it.
Now, not only did he die on the spot, but tens of millions of Golden Armored Knights were also implicated. It could be said that his death was entirely his own doing.
"Whew."
Long Chen waved his hand, and a long spear along with his dim armor turned into a streak of light that shot toward Lu Qingshuang, who grabbed him in one swift motion.
"No matter what, we fought side by side before. The item is yours back, and as for the survival of the Shengming Divine Sect, it is in your hands." Long Chen said.
Long Chen's meaning was simple: the item was yours. He didn't care about it, and as for the fate of the Shengming Divine Sect, that was up to Lu Qingshuang.
Long Chen had killed so many Golden Armored Knights; the Shengming Divine Sect definitely wouldn't let it go. If they dared to confront Long Chen, he would dare to have the Shengming Divine Sect removed from this world.
But if Lu Qingshuang obtains these two supreme treasures and becomes the new leader, then the fate of the Shengming Divine Sect will be in her hands—friend or foe, entirely up to her thoughts.
Lu Qingshuang, clutching her pale armor and spear, thought of so many deaths and could no longer hold back her uncontrollable sobs. She led tens of thousands of Golden Armored Knights and left this place of sorrow.
"Clap clap clap...
At that moment, a round of applause rang out. Li Changgen stepped forward and said calmly:
"This Shadow Separation Technique is truly brilliant, but it still can't change the cruel fate of your downfall."
At this moment, the other experts also scattered, surrounding Long Chen at the core, their fierce killing intent engulfing heaven and earth.
