“Leave!”
Following Ling Yunzi’s transmission, Long Chen and the others all began to rush away. Each of them wore a heavy cloak so others couldn’t see their faces.
“Hahaha, you want to run? Stay behind!” The seventh monastery’s sect leader sneered and appeared right in front of them.
Suddenly, a cold Sword Qi slashed down from the sky at the seventh monastery’s sect leader.
Chapter 467 If I Don’t Kill You, I’m Not Human!
The seventh monastery’s sect leader suddenly felt his whole body turn cold, and a burst of pain came from his palm.
His hand had been pierced straight through by a ray of Sword Qi.
“Ling Yunzi!”
The seventh monastery’s sect leader was infuriated. While it was true that everyone was now exchanging blows, it was really just for show. No one else had released a vicious attack like Ling Yunzi.
“If you want to kill my disciples, you’ll have to do it over my corpse.” Ling Yunzi also glared back at those sect leaders who were eager to capture Long Chen and the others. The killing intent in his eyes was not at all concealed.
Ling Yunzi was currently like an awakened divine blade that had finally left its sheath. His sharp aura made them all feel a heavy pressure.
Sword intent soared out of him, and if anyone dared take another step, they would meet with a thunderous strike.
As a sword cultivator, Ling Yunzi had researched the Sword Dao for many years. His level of comprehension had already reached a terrifying point.
Ever since he had managed to free himself from his heart-devil, his mental realm had reached a flawless point, and he had reached the realm where his mind and sword were connected.
Right now, Cang Ming was fighting two Xiantian experts on his own, while the others had also found their own opponents. However, the first monastery’s side still had more experts.
There were still six people free to attack. And naturally they knew that Sha Qitian’s goal was Long Chen, so they immediately chased after him.
However, Ling Yunzi stopped all of them by himself. The sharp aura coming from him made them shiver. Furthermore, ever since they had become sect leaders, they had practically never exchanged blows with people again. After living in grandeur for so long, they had already forgotten what it felt like to fight, and they had lost that fearless determination a warrior needed.
“What are you all hesitating for?! Hurry up, or Long Chen will escape!” Sha Qitian furiously roared while fighting Zhao Yongchang, his voice containing a bit of panic.
Long Chen was the crux of this entire matter. Once Long Chen was killed, all his problems would be resolved. No one would bother about a dead person.
But if he didn’t die, then that would create countless variables. Furthermore, Han Tianyu had also told him that Yin Wushuang had already exposed that it was he who had incited this entire matter by trying to have Long Chen killed.
That completely infuriated Sha Qitian. If it weren’t for Yin Wushuang’s background, he would have long since slapped her to death.
Now his only hope was to kill Long Chen. In the end, he could just fabricate some random excuses, and this matter would blow over. The dead could not testify.
However, Zhao Yongchang was also a late Xiantian expert, and the two of them were relatively even in power. Even if he was slightly stronger, he could not defeat Zhao Yongchang without an extremely long period of time. It was impossible for him to personally attack Long Chen.
Now seeing six people were stopped by just Ling Yunzi, he cursed them for being useless. If this continued, Long Chen really would manage to flee, and then it would truly become troublesome.
“Attack together!” The seventh monastery’s sect leader hastily took out his weapon when he heard Sha Qitian’s fury, and he charged at Ling Yunzi.
BOOM!
The six of them attacked at the same time, Xiantian power colliding explosively. Ling Yunzi faced them head-on, causing a huge explosion. Long Chen and the others, who were already several miles away, immediately felt a terrifying qi wave strike them and send them flying.
But they didn’t dare look back. They knew that as long as Long Chen managed to escape, this battle would count as their victory.
“Die!” Facing six people, Ling Yunzi was struck so hard that his qi and blood were surging inside him. After all, he was only in the mid Xiantian realm, and sword cultivators didn’t specialize in brute force. With a sudden cry, his sword began to shine, and killing intent locked down one of the sect leaders.
PFFT!
“AHH!” That person was only in the early Xiantian realm, and as a result, most of his upper body broke into pieces.
“Heavens, Ling Yunzi really wants to kill!” Those distant spectating sect leaders’ expressions all changed. Within the supermonastery, there were countless fights and struggles. The power struggle never ended. However, they had never seen actual sect leaders fighting each other so intensely, let alone sect leaders trying to take the lives of other sect leaders.
That sect leader’s reactions had been fast. The instant that Sword Qi had been about to strike him, he had turned to the side. Otherwise, he would have been cut in half.
Although his upper body was a mess right now, as a Xiantian expert, he had a powerful life force. He could absorb spiritual qi to regrow his flesh.
But that required a certain amount of time, time in which his combat ability would be much lower. Furthermore, his courage was truly broken now, and he hastily retreated. Consuming a medicinal pill, he directly left the battlefield.
“Ling Yunzi, how dare you be so vicious!” raged the seventh monastery’s sect leader. Ling Yunzi actually dared to slaughter sect leaders for just a disciple.
“I, Ling Yunzi, have no sons or daughters. My disciples are my children. Since you want to kill my children in front of me, there’s nothing left to say. Die!”
With an icy cry, Sword Qi soared into the sky, and a terrifying pressure caused heaven and earth to change color. The five of them were immediately enveloped by sword-light.
“Ling Yunzi’s the only sect leader sword cultivator in the supermonastery. This pressure is terrifying!”
Sword cultivators were praised as number one in terms of offense. Even five against one, the five of them were miserably suppressed. Several of them almost died beneath Ling Yunzi’s sword.
Ling Yunzi was shocking all the various sect leaders. They finally understood a sword cultivator’s power. Ling Yunzi’s combat ability was definitely not at all inferior to Sha Qitian.
“Sun Jianxiong, hurry and go kill Long Chen!” Sha Qitian suddenly shouted.
In the crowd of spectators, one of the sect leader’s expressions completely changed, and he couldn’t help but curse inside. Sha Qitian wanted him to display his loyalty.
If he didn’t go, that was equivalent to completely falling out with Sha Qitian. If he did go, that was equivalent to offending Zhao Yongchang and the Hua family.
Sun Jianxiong cursed his bad luck. There were so many people present, but Sha Qitian had just had to pick him.
In the end, he clenched his teeth and chased after them. But he had only just taken a step when sword-light mercilessly slashed down on him.
He jumped back and hastily retreated. That sword-light had split apart the ground where he had been.
“Everyone, block him!”
Just now, Ling Yunzi had managed to force back the five of them to send an attack at Sun Jianxiong, but he had dodged. At this time, the seventh monastery’s sect leader roared and charged forward. He needed to keep Ling Yunzi tied down.
Ling Yunzi roared furiously, and a powerful cry came from his sword as Xiantian power erupted.
The distant spectators’ expressions all changed, and they hastily pulled their disciples behind them and fled.
BOOM!
Ling Yunzi was truly fighting all-out now, but the other five also erupted with their full strength. At this moment, Ling Yunzi was figh
ting as if his life was on the line, and the slightest negligence might cause one of them to die.
However, in the end, Ling Yunzi was not able to throw them off. He could only watch as Sun Jianxiong charged in Long Chen’s direction.
However, none of them noticed that other than Sun Jianxiong, another furtive figure had also secretly chased after them.
Long Chen and the others were almost a hundred miles away when Sun Jianxiong caught up. A Xiantian expert’s speed was not something they could compare to.
“Long Chen, so sorry, but I’ll need to borrow your head,” sneered Sun Jianxiong. With a wave of his hand, a huge palm-image flew out, enveloping all of them.
BOOM!
Everyone was miserably blown through the air. Gu Yang and the others all vomited blood, feeling like their bodies would collapse.
Although this was just a random blow that hadn’t even been aiming to take their lives, Xiantian power was simply not something they could block.
In front of a Xiantian expert, they were as weak as ants. That was the difference between them, and there was no way to make up for it.
“Haha, I’ve finally found you!” laughed Sun Jianxiong. That attack of his had been to find which one of them was Long Chen.
Another palm came crashing for Long Chen. Terrifying Xiantian power completely bound Long Chen, making it so he was unable to even move.
Just at this moment, the dragon scale within his body trembled ever so slightly. Unbeknownst to Long Chen, a majestic energy began to condense within it. But a moment later, it dissipated.
“Just try and touch him!”
Suddenly, Hua Biluo appeared in front of Long Chen, icily glaring at Sun Jianxiong with disdain.
“You..!”
Sun Jianxiong’s soul almost departed from his body in fright. He hastily pulled back his palm. If he killed Hua Biluo, he would die a tragic end.
Even though his cultivation base had reached the late Xiantian realm, pulling back a full strength attack was still challenging for him. To suddenly pull back his attack was equivalent to having his attack land on himself, and he would have to take it without any defenses.
Forcibly withdrawing his attack, he choked, and his internal organs almost flipped within him.
At this time, Hua Biluo’s sword was already stabbing towards his throat, startling and infuriating Sun Jianxiong. He sent a palm to slam into her sword.
BANG!
Her sword exploded, and Hua Biluo vomited a mouthful of blood before fainting.
Suddenly, an armored Guo Ran appeared behind Sun Jianxiong and grabbed him, shouting, “Boss, hurry and run!”
“Fuck off!” Sun Jianxiong furiously struck Guo Ran in his chest. A huge dent appeared in his armor, and Guo Ran instantly fainted. However, he still held on tightly.
“Die!” Suddenly, the mark on Wilde’s forehead once more lit up, and his spiked club came smashing at Sun Jianxiong.
“Scram!” Sun Jianxiong punched out, shattering Wilde’s club and sending him flying. Wilde repeatedly vomited blood, and his arm became completely deformed.
Gu Yang, Song Mingyuan, Li Qi, and Yue Zifeng crazily attacked Sun Jianxiong. “Run boss! It’ll be fine as long as you get away!”
BOOM!
Gu Yang was blown back, his golden spear shattered. He landed on the ground in the distance. It was unknown whether he was alive or dead.
“Sun Jianxiong! I, Long Chen, swear if I don’t kill you, I’m not human!” Clenching his teeth, Long Chen furiously roared. A white figure appeared. Long Chen jumped onto Little Snow’s back and shot into the distance.
Chapter 468 Chased Down Desperately
The previous plan was for everyone to cover Long Chen, and when they were far away enough, they were to split up to confuse the others.
But that plan hadn’t succeeded. They had barely gotten anywhere before Sun Jianxiong had caught up.
Long Chen no longer needed to have any more misgivings, and he directly summoned out Little Snow to run as fast as possible.
“Bastards, don’t think I don’t dare kill you!” Sun Jianxiong furiously roared. Song Mingyuan and the others were risking their lives to hold him back.
The most infuriating one would have to be Guo Ran. He had wrapped his arms around Sun Jianxiong’s waist and no matter what he did, Guo Ran refused to let go.
Finally, Sun Jianxiong furiously slammed his palm on Guo Ran’s shoulder, and his terrifying Xiantian power completely broke apart Guo Ran’s arm.
“Scram!” With a final roar, Sun Jianxiong erupted with his full power, sending Song Mingyuan and all the others flying. They vomited blood and then fainted.
When he finally turned to follow Long Chen, he saw that Long Chen had long since disappeared. Little Snow was too fast, and when Sun Jianxiong went past the next mountain, he saw a vast river on the other side, and Long Chen’s tracks had disappeared.
Atop Little Snow, Long Chen was tightly clutching his fur, his eyes surging with icy killing intent. He was clenching his teeth so tightly that he was bleeding.
“Sha Qitian, Sun Jianxiong, just wait!”
“Haha, there’s no need to wait, because your life is mine.” Suddenly, a woman’s voice rang out from behind him.
Long Chen hastily looked back with shock, seeing a woman smiling at him sinisterly.
“Luo Bing!”
The one following him was Luo Bing, the one who had brought her thirty-sixth monastery’s disciples to provoke the 108th monastery, only to leave dejectedly in failure.
Luo Bing was currently filled with killing intent. Despite fleeing as fast as he could, Long Chen could not throw her off.
“Long Chen, you really do have quite the abilities to be able to escape from Sun Jianxiong. Hehe, did you think you were already safe?
“Haha, as soon as you left, I was secretly following you, all to make sure you didn’t escape. Looks like a woman’s intuition is really the best, as you really did manage to escape.
“Unfortunately, no matter how far you run, you won’t be able to escape me. Today, I’ll return the humiliation you gave me by ten times- no, a hundred times! Hahaha…” laughed Luo Bing.
Long Chen’s heart sank. He hadn’t expected this woman to have secretly followed him like this. Now it was truly troublesome.
“Do you know why I went through this trouble? It’s because I’m very curious just what thing you have that allows you to grow this fast. Hehe, the heavens really haven’t let me down. They gave me a chance to get all the benefits for myself, hahaha! Don’t be afraid, I will definitely take care of you properly.” Luo Bing’s voice was full of excitement.
“Hmph, you ugly, old bitch, you look like some shoehorn that transformed and took human form. Don’t spout your bile for others,” insulted Long Chen.
But although that was what he said, he was racking his brain for ways to escape. Even if Luo Bing was trash as a person, she was still a Xiantian expert, and he was definitely not a match for her.
The only possible way for him to escape was to come up with some scheme. But Long Chen had truly exhausted all his abilities, and his head was empty.
“You still want to run? You want to use words to infuriate me and give you a quick death? Stop dreaming. I won’t let you die so happily. I will make you feel endless despair as your life slowly trickles away from you.” Luo Bing clenched her teeth.
As Little Snow crazily raced along, he let out a loud roar, communicating with Long Chen.
Little Snow was thinking of using their combined attack again. However, Long Chen shook his head.
Currently, perhaps he might have enough spiritual qi for that, but his Pill Flame had only recovered to twenty percent. With only that level of power, their combination attack wouldn’t be able to cause any effective injuries to a Xiantian expert.
Xiantian experts had already surpassed the category of ordinary Houtian cultivators. They could control natural energy, and the Battle Skills used by Houtian cultivators were usually unable t
o menace them.
In the cultivation world, there were some geniuses who could fight across realms. However, the gap between Xiantian and Houtian was not one so easily crossed. And so there was a saying in the cultivation world that the cultivators below the Xiantian realm were less than ants.
When you reached the Xiantian realm, your Houtian spiritual qi would transform into Xiantian spiritual qi.
But that was not all. Entering the Xiantian realm caused a complete transformation in the body, and a person’s longevity would increase to a thousand years.
Furthermore, the strength of a Xiantian expert’s spiritual qi was a completely different concept compared to Houtian spiritual qi, and there was simply no comparison.
So even though Long Chen was powerful, he wasn’t delusional enough to think he could use his own power to defeat Luo Bing.
Let alone a Tendon Transformation rookie, even a genius Meridian Opening expert would find it impossible to defeat a mediocre Xiantian expert.
“Hahaha, I really like your current expression. Keep struggling, keep trying to think of ways to save yourself. I like it.” Luo Bing laughed and simply followed Little Snow, not getting any closer or falling behind.
Little Snow’s speed had reached his peak, and just the wind force was something that would make a person’s face hurt. But they were still unable to throw her off.
Long Chen’s expression was grave. He was thinking as fast as he could, but he wasn’t able to come up with any way to throw her off. It was just as he said: in front of absolute strength, all schemes were useless.
But in this case, it was Luo Bing who had the absolute power. She wasn’t in a hurry to do anything. It was only because she allowed it that Long Chen could still continue running while she followed. She was just playing a game of cat and mouse, wanting to play Long Chen to death.
Suddenly, the terrain became very level, and an endless, barren land appeared.
“Hahaha, this is the burial ground you’ve chosen for yourself? The scenery really is not bad. And this place also isn’t that far from your monastery. How surprising, you actually have such feelings toward your monastery and even in death, you want to die nearby,” sneered Luo Bing.
