"Such petty tricks, yet you dare to show your disgrace."
Long Chen sneered. Ji Wuming's assassination technique was terrifying to others, but to Long Chen, it was nothing. Especially since he had fused with the ancestral dragon's essence blood and possessed a sacred aura, Ji Wuming's spatial technique was nothing but a joke to him.
"Clang"
But before Long Chen could act, a petite figure rushed out, stabbing the dagger straight at the back of Ji Wuming's head.
"Xiao Yu,"
Long Chen was startled. Dongming Yu's aura was weak at this moment, and her combat power was probably less than thirty percent of her usual strength, yet she actually charged out at this moment.
"Brother Long Chen, I'll take this person's head. This is my promise to Master." The Dongming jade dagger thrust straight ahead, controlling the direction, angle, and speed to the extreme, forcing Ji Wuming to retreat.
"But you..."
Long Chen was a bit worried. This kind of battle was too unfair. Dongming Yu had no reason to risk his life; he could handle everything.
"Brother Long Chen, trust me. This is a trial entrusted to me by my master, and I must complete it." After Dongming Yu finished speaking, her figure suddenly vanished. When she reappeared, she was already thousands of miles away, stabbing her dagger fiercely into the void.
Dongming Jade seemed to see through the void. Ji Wuming, hidden within the void, shouted sharply and swung the dagger in his hand like lightning.
"Clang"
Sparks flew. To everyone's surprise, Dongming Yu's dagger was actually cut through by Ji Wuming's dagger.
"Xiaoyu, be careful. Empuda's faith is in another world. She lent him her power. With the power of faith, her strength is many times greater than usual, and her weapons are invincible." Long Chen shouted a warning.
"Boom boom boom boom...
At that moment, Long Aotian, Kuntu, Shi Yang, Ji Wuming, Yin Changsheng, Jiu You Luosha, and Weng Tianyao all charged at Long Chen at once, while the mysterious beast cultivator and over a hundred super experts shamelessly charged at Meng Qi and the others.
"A bunch of fools, do you really think we're easy targets?" Gu Yang was furious, wielding his spear and charging out first.
"Pfft!"
A sword aura was even faster than his. A dual-extreme supreme prodigy was killed by Yue Zifeng's sword. Even though he was weak, Yue Zifeng's sword energy remained sharp and unstoppable.
Meng Qi, Dan Xianzi, Bai Shishi, and others all struck in succession, and the Dragon Blood Legion once again formed a grand formation to confront these powerful opponents.
Gu Yang fought that mysterious beast cultivator. One phenomenon was filled with the roar of ten thousand beasts, the other with the roar of ten thousand dragons. As soon as they clashed, the attack was like a raging storm.
"Even a wounded tiger is not something you rabbits can bully. Dragon Blood Cross Slash."
Guo Ran roared angrily, unleashing a strike that sent more than a dozen terrifying beings flying. At that moment, Xiaoxue shot out a ball of wind blades, exploding with a thunderous roar through the crowd.
"Screech!"
Xiaoyun revealed her true form again, opening her huge mouth as a black divine light shot out, following the group's attack and splitting the enemy squad in two.
A fierce battle broke out here. Although Mengqi and the others were already weakened, this time they held a numerical advantage.
Although the opponent seemed unfamiliar with fierce battles, Long Chen's move, Dragon Roar Nine Heavens, shattered their souls and left them with hidden injuries. On the surface, their momentum was overwhelming, but in reality, their attack power had been greatly diminished.
Both sides were at a disadvantage, and now it was all about willpower. After a few moves, Mengqi and the others had killed dozens of enemies.
The group of powerful figures instantly lost their fear and scattered like birds and beasts. At this point, they no longer wanted to seize the ancestral dragon essence blood from Long Chen. They only wanted to kill some people to avenge their clan, so that when they returned, they would have an explanation.
Unfortunately, the strength of the Dragonblood Legion far exceeded their expectations. They came from different races, lacking unity—they were just a ragtag group that collapsed at the first blow of battle.
The mysterious beast cultivator sensed danger. Although he was already in a fierce battle with Gu Yang and had the upper hand, defeating Gu Yang was no matter how many moves he had. Seeing everyone else flee, if he didn't retreat soon, he would be surrounded by everyone. With a feint, he immediately retreated.
Just as he retreated, a wall of earth silently appeared, and the mysterious beast cultivator crashed headfirst into the wall.
"Boom!"
The mysterious beast cultivator never expected a wall to suddenly appear behind him, completely unguarded. The earthen wall was only three zhang square, incredibly tough, and he struck it so hard that stars appeared before his eyes.
"Still want to leave?" Leave your life behind! Li
Qi and Song Mingyuan shouted coldly, wielding long staffs as they charged at the mysterious beast cultivator. By now, they had absorbed all the fragments of their primordial spirits from heaven and earth. The evil spirits behind them roared, their momentum overwhelming. Among the entire Dragonblood Legion, only the two of them were the strongest.
"Pfft!"
Just as the two made their move, a beam of golden light shot out. It was the mysterious beast cultivator who had crashed into the wall, bounced back, stars flashing before his eyes, and in that moment of dizziness, the arrow pierced through his skull.
The mysterious beast cultivator didn't even have time to react before being killed by an arrow. The attacker was none other than Mo Nian.
"Nothing was accomplished today, but to save someone's head proves I did my part." Mo Nian stood above the void, his face pale as paper, yet he still maintained the demeanor of a master as calm as water.
Mo Nian pushed open the barrier, which consumed more energy than anyone else. Moreover, his coffin was a divine artifact he had nurtured with his soul. The artifact shattered, and his soul suffered severe damage.
At this point, he had very little strength left, but seeing an opportunity to grab a kill, without hesitation, he used his last bit of power to kill him, completing a not-so-flashy performance.
"Crack!"
At that moment, a crisp sound came from afar. Everyone was startled, and Dongmingyu's other dagger was also severed by Ji Wuming.
Assassins usually have two daggers—one forehand and one backhand—and can switch between them or fight alone.
Dongming Yu's first dagger was cut off, so he tried not to fight Ji Wuming head-on, but after dozens of moves, he was forced to block with the dagger, only to be cut again.
The moment the dagger was severed, a bloody mark appeared on Dongming Yu's smooth forehead. If she had been even a step slower to dodge, her crown would have been cut open—it was truly a thrilling situation.
"When an assassin loses their dagger, it's like a venomous snake has lost its fangs. What awaits you is only death."
Ji Wuming's face was grim, his attacks growing fiercer, completely free from worries about his retreat, and he launched a frenzied assault.
"For an assassin, relying on external force is the greatest tragedy." Dongmingyu lost her dagger, her expression changed slightly. While dodging Ji Wuming's attack, she snorted coldly.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, a black divine light stabbed toward Ji Wuming's back. Ji Wuming instinctively dodged, and the black light crashed straight into Dongming Jade.
"Xiaoyu, take it. This is a gift from me." Just then, Long Chen's voice rang out.
"Smack"
Dongmingyu reached out to catch it, and a pitch-black dagger appeared in her hand.
