Long Chen and the others never expected that the old man would wake up at this moment. As soon as he spoke, his location was instantly exposed.
Although others couldn't see them, as long as they launched indiscriminate attacks, the shuttle would be immediately forced out. Moreover, Mo Nian's shuttle had little defense except for escaping. Helpless, Mo Nian had to put away the shuttle and stand with Long Chen and the others within the ancient Fusang tree.
"Before Wuliang Mountain, Wuliang Palace; outside Wuliang Gate, countless pines; the prodigy chases dreams but finds no path; once encountered by Mo Nian, it becomes empty.
The treasures here are destined for me. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not take what others love. Fellow cultivators, please step outside and don't delay my wealth. Thank you! Mo Nian looked at the shocked expressions in Yin Changsheng and the others' eyes, smiled slightly, and spoke calmly.
"Long Chen"
Shi Yang, Yin Changsheng, Jiu You Luosha, and Ji Wuming saw Long Chen, and murderous intent surged in their eyes.
Among these four, three had suffered great losses at Long Chen's hands, especially the Nine Nether Rakshasas, who was captured by Long Chen and tortured half to death. Their hatred for Long Chen was deep to the bone.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't be like this, okay? Show some respect, I'm talking to you guys." Mo Nian felt a bit embarrassed; these guys acted as if they hadn't seen him, all staring intently at Long Chen.
Even Yin Changsheng, who had fought him before, ignored him, which made Mo Nian so angry he wanted to curse.
"Ssshhh!"
The void was torn apart. A long sword was drawn, slicing through the void and charging straight at Long Chen. The first to strike was Jiuyou Luosha. She didn't waste any words and unleashed the fiercest killing strike.
The sword slashed down, sending up a huge ripple in midair. The sword contained a tidal wave, gathered but not dispersed, condensed but not released, locking the power firmly within the blade without leaking out.
The techniques of the Nine Nether Rakshasa were completely different from before. Such terrifying power could be highly concentrated and controlled, astonishingly strong.
"Clang!"
The Minghong Blade was drawn, dragon roars erupted, shaking heaven and earth. The seven-colored divine ring behind Long Chen lit up, and the Minghong Blade transformed into a flying rainbow, slashing down swiftly.
"Boom!"
The moment the Nine Nether Rakshasa struck the Minghong Blade, a tidal wave of power erupted instantly.
"Rumble... A
violent force swept across the battlefield. The ancient Fusang tree beneath Long Chen's feet shook wildly, and the body lying on the leaves poured down like a torrential downpour, crashing straight toward the ground.
Long Chen clashed head-on with the Nine Nether Rakshasa, sending him flying backward. At this moment, with the seven-colored divine ring's support, Long Chen had only absorbed half of the Nine Nether Rakshasa power, while releasing the other half into the air.
When the ancient Fusang tree shook and countless corpses fell, Long Chen reached out his large hand, sending out strands of thunderous spider silk that entangled the corpses.
"Take!"
Long Chen shouted sharply, forcibly pulling the corpses into the chaotic space and throwing them directly into the black soil.
"Die!"
When he saw Long Chen collect so many corpses of ancient powerhouses, Shi Yang flew into a rage. Corpse energy surged around him as he threw a fierce punch at Long Chen.
"Clang"
Long Chen raised his blade to block. With a loud explosion, his fist collided with the Minghong Blade, producing a metallic metallic sound. Sparks faintly flew out, and the immense force caused the void to collapse.
"Demon Suppression!"
Suddenly, a sharp shout rang out, and a divine light descended—it was Yue Xiaoqian activating the Demon Suppression Divine Seal.
When the Demon-Suppressing Divine Seal covered Shi Yang's entire body, countless runes on his body actually ignited.
"Ah... Damn the Primordial Demon Clan..."
Corpse Disaster roared. He had just obtained this body and hadn't fully integrated yet. Fighting others was no problem, but the Primordial Demon Clan was their nemesis. He couldn't fully control it yet and couldn't resist Yue Xiaoqian's Demon-Suppressing Divine Radiance. In this respect, it was far inferior to his original body, yet he had overlooked this fatal flaw.
"Pfft!"
Long Chenminghong slashed down with his grand blade, sending Shi Xiang's head flying. Under Yue Xiaoqian's Demon-Suppressing Divine Seal, his body's defenses were destroyed, his corpse began to decay, and he could no longer be impervious to blades and spears.
"Kill that woman from the Primordial Demon Clan!"
Shi Yang roared, his head falling off, but he was unharmed. His voice came from his chest, and at his command, countless demon clan experts rushed forward, charging straight at Yue Xiaoqian.
"Buzz"
Countless demon clan experts appeared on their bodies with a membrane of light. When it touched Yue Xiaoqian's Primordial Demon Divine Radiance, the membrane began to slowly burn, but it blocked its deadly effect.
Clearly, they were prepared. The light barrier could temporarily hold them off for a while, but they had to kill Yue Xiaoqian before the barrier was destroyed.
Suddenly, Long Chen slashed his blade straight at Yue Xiaoqian, startling Mo Nian with his move.
"Xiao Qian, hide."
Long Chen shouted sharply. Hearing Long Chen's words, Yue Xiaoqian didn't hesitate and quickly dodged to the side.
"Clang"
The void trembled, sparks flew, and a dagger appeared out of thin air. This dagger was originally meant to stab Yue Xiaoqian directly, but Long Chen slashed it squarely.
The dagger appeared, and then Ji Wuming's figure also appeared. He looked at Long Chen with some surprise, clearly stunned that Long Chen could block his strike.
"Boom!"
Long Chen kicked down, hitting Ji Wuying squarely. But something shocking everyone happened: Long Chen's foot passed through Ji Wuming's body, and at the very moment it passed, his body slowly vanished, like a wisp of blue smoke merging into heaven and earth.
"Law of Time," Mo Nian's
expression changed. When Long Chen kicked out and was about to touch Ji Wuming, time seemed to slow down instantly, and his figure began to distort somewhat. This was not just the law of time, but also the law of space—the fusion of the two laws to produce such an effect.
Mo Nian finally understood why Shi Yang and Yin Changsheng were so wary of Ji Wuming. He held Supreme Bone in both hands, one controlling time, the other space. Now, with both fused with Supreme Blood, both powers could be used simultaneously.
"Ji Wuming, get out of my way! I don't need your involvement in the battle between me and Long Chen." The Nine Nether Rakshasa shouted sternly.
The Asura mark on her brow began to burn, and the phenomenon behind her flared up, revealing a tall figure. Endless divine radiance poured forth, igniting her vital energy.
Her power surged several times in an instant, and it was climbing wildly. As her strength rose, her aura grew increasingly chilling, as if some strange force was awakening within her.
"Clang, clang, dang..."
Long Chen blocked three consecutive sword strikes from the Nine Nether Rakshasa and retreated three steps in succession. Each strike from the Nine Nether Rakshasa grew fiercer than the last, as if it were endless.
"Buzz."
Long Chen suddenly retreated, dodging the Nine Nether Rakshasa and lunging straight at Yue Xiaoqian, slashing down with the Minghong Blade.
"Clang"
Another explosion rang out, and the dagger appeared silently, only to be blocked once more by Long Chen.
"If you want to die so badly, I'll grant your wish."
Ji Wuming attacked Yue Xiaoqian twice in a row, and Long Chen's anger flared instantly, killing intent surging forth.
"Pfft."
But unexpectedly, the void suddenly trembled. The Nine Nether Rakshasa slashed down with a sword, blood splattering everywhere. Ji Wuming, who had just vanished into the void, was slashed in the cheek by the Nine Nether Rakshasa's sword.
"Since you want to die, I might as well grant your wish!"
Nine Nether Rakshasa gritted his teeth, and suddenly his long sword trembled. He actually abandoned Long Chen and charged straight at Ji Wuming.
