  BOOM!

  The two immense blades collided.

  Chapter 828 The Furious Xue You

  When those two immense blades collided, the entire world seemed to become dark. That was because that collision caused heaven and earth to lose all their light. There was no sound for thousands of miles.

  Long Chen was horrified. Just now, he hadn’t done anything at all. It was like Flying Rainbow had been provoked and automatically released its own power in response.

  As for Xue You, his head had already reattached to his body. He was also looking up in horror. He had never imagined that Long Chen could activate a Treasure item’s power without sacrificing anything.

  It had to be known that he had sacrificed all the blood from when Long Chen had cut off his head to activate his black sword’s power.

  This black sword was one of the Corrupt path’s Treasure items. Xue You had been nourishing it for many years, but even he still needed to sacrifice his essence blood to activate it.

  A Treasure item had its own item-spirit, its own intelligence, as well as its own pride. According to reason, without reaching at least Sea Expansion, there was no way to activate a Treasure item.

  But there were all sorts of secret arts in this world. For example, Xue You had formed a contract with his Treasure item. The Treasure item felt that its owner was a bit weak, but it depended on his essence blood, so it was willing to listen to his orders.

  But Xue You had still paid a steep price to activate this attack. The majority of his essence blood had been sucked away just now.

  On the other hand, Long Chen hadn’t sacrificed anything, but that sword had voluntarily released its power to fight for him. That kind of treatment was immensely different.

  Limitless power was colliding in the air. The spectators were all horrified. It looked as if it was the end of the world. They began to hastily flee.

  BOOM!

  The two blades blossomed with a light brighter than the sun. A terrifying energy was pouring out from the core of the two blades. The light was rapidly growing.

  In front of that light, mountains were instantly blown to smithereens. Some of the closer experts didn’t even have a chance to make a sound before being blown into bloody mist.

  The two Treasure items had released their power. Everything within thousands of miles was razed, and everything that light touched was destroyed. Even Long Chen was wildly vomiting blood. He felt like his body was being torn apart.

  He was appalled. This was a Treasure item’s true power? It was truly too terrifying.

  It was a good thing he had the primal chaos space. His injuries were rapidly healing. With the Spirit World’s immense trees, he was able to heal even Heavenly Dao injuries.

  After releasing their powerful attack, both Treasure items returned to their normal size and flew back to their owners. In that previous collision, there had been no winner.

  Long Chen didn’t wait for Flying Rainbow to return. He shot forward, grabbing it on the way.

  Xue You was in the midst of recovering. He still hadn’t recovered from his shock, but the battle-hardened Long Chen wouldn’t let this opportunity escape him. Sword-light slashed down mercilessly.

  Xue You sensed him immediately, but Long Chen was too fast. He rapidly retreated but was still too slow.

  Flying Rainbow slashed down, severing his leg. Although Xue You had managed to preserve his life, he had lost a limb.

  Xue You was fortunate he was strong enough. When Flying Rainbow had pierced his body, his runes had held back a portion of its power. Otherwise, that slash wouldn’t have cut off just one of his legs. Instead, it would have destroyed all his lower body.

  “Heavenly Dao Recover-” Countless runes flew to that severed leg.

  “Fuck off!”

  Would Long Chen give him that opportunity? He directly grabbed the leg, not letting him reattach it. His sword once more slashed down.

  BOOM!

  Xue You hastily dodged with his sword. As a result, he was sent flying without a leg. Unable to keep his balance, he tumbled across the ground.

  “Hand over your other four limbs as well!”

  Long Chen shot after him, stabbing his sword at him.

  But when Xue You blocked it, Long Chen swung his other hand. A bloody leg slapped across Xue You’s face.

  Xue You was sent flying by his own leg. He tumbled across the ground, appearing incredibly wretched.

  Their previous collision of Treasure items had killed quite a few of the spectators. But for many of them, it was unlikely they would ever get another chance to see a battle on this level. So there were still quite a few people continuing to watch despite the danger. Seeing Long Chen sever Xue You’s leg, they felt a chill. He was truly ruthless.

  Then seeing Long Chen draw Xue You’s attention with the sword in his right hand only to slap him with his own leg from his other hand, their eyes almost popped out. They had never seen such a fighting style.

  “Long Chen, just wait! I’ll repay this enmity to you a million times! Not just you, but everyone close to you, your sect, I’ll refine all their souls and make it so they can never reincarnate!”

  PFFT!

  Xue You was forced to desperation by Long Chen. In his fury, he slashed apart the leg in Long Chen’s hand. To personally destroy his own leg gave him a sour feeling. Perhaps only Xue You could understand that feeling.

  Although Xue You was a rank three Celestial, regenerating a leg would not only require time, but it would also require a great deal of his core energy.

  If his body was severed, then he could reconnect it and immediately recover. But if his body had disappeared, there was no way he could reform it instantly.

  “You’re still threatening me? Courting a slap!”

  Long Chen furiously attacked and the only thing remaining in his left hand was a shoe. His sword unleashed a torrent of attacks, forcing the one-legged Xue You back miserably.

  POW!

  A clear sound rang out, shaking heaven and earth. Xue You spun in circles. By the time he stabilized, the image of a shoe print on his face was extremely clear.

  Those spectators felt like they were going crazy. The Corrupt path’s supreme expert, the Corrupt King Xue You, had actually been slapped in the face by a shoe. And furthermore… it was his own shoe.

  “Fuck, your skin really is thick enough. It’s thicker than the bottom of a shoe.” Looking at the ruined shoe in his hand, Long Chen snorted and tossed it to the ground. He shot forward with his sword.

  “AHHHHHH!”

  Xue You released a heaven-shaking roar. His hair stood on end, and his eyes were completely scarlet. In all his life, he had never been this furious. This humiliation was something he had never imagined would befall him.

  “Long Chen, just wait! If I, Xue You, don’t kill you, then I’ll swear I’m not human!” Xue You suddenly spat blood onto his sword. His sword shook and turned into a black ray that shot away with him.

  “Everyone’s busy and I don’t have time to wait. Let’s resolve things now!” Long Chen sneered. Lightning wings appeared on his back, and the lightning whirlpools in his body fully activated.

  Xue You was relying on the black sword’s speed to get away. He had already realized that if they continued, there was no way for him to win. Although he was a bit unwilling, he had no other choice.

  But he had only just shot off when he suddenly noticed Long Chen had turned into a bolt of lightning that was chasing him. His speed wasn’t the slightest bit lower than his black sword.

  While chasing, Long Chen raised Flying Rainbow, and Sword Qi slashed forward. Even flying didn’t affect his attacks.

  In truth, Long Chen had realized that the Lightning Body Blink’s strongest aspect was its rapid speed in one direction. In battle, he normally only used half of the lightning whirlpools, while the other half were closed. When he moved forward, he would activate the back half, and when he moved back, he would activate the front half. That was to control t
he direction of his body.

  But when rushing long-distance in one direction, he could turn all the lightning whirlpools to one direction. That pushed his speed to the peak. Even Long Chen felt that moving this fast was a bit terrifying. If he smashed into a solid mountain like this, perhaps he would be crushed to death.

  But his speed was truly shocking. And he could even unleash attacks while flying. That stunned Xue You.

  He had activated his Treasure item to flee. But at this time, his Treasure item was only capable of carrying him. He couldn’t use it to defend anymore. He hastily and forcibly switched it from its flying mode to its fighting mode to block.

  Xue You blocked Long Chen’s attack, but he vomited blood and shot back like a shooting star. He directly pierced through seven mountains.

  Those seven mountains were fine. But there was a hole with the size of Xue You in each of them now. Xue You continued flying for many miles, continuously vomiting blood. This attack had almost taken his life.

  He was finally horrified. He was unable to defeat Long Chen, and now he was unable to flee. A sensation of death welled up from his heart. This was his first time feeling this kind of terror.

  Just at this moment, Long Chen had already caught up. He once more slashed down with his sword.

  Xue You roared furiously. He couldn’t just wait for his death. He once more activated his sword, slashing it at Long Chen. Long Chen was forced back hundreds of meters, while Xue You was once more sent flying.

  Long Chen immediately stabilized himself and shot back toward Xue You. Despite taking the absolute advantage, he still didn’t dare to be careless.

  Xue You possessed exceedingly terrifying curse arts. Once Long Chen was cursed, this advantage of his would vanish. In fact, the situation would very likely reverse. He couldn’t give such a powerful expert any opportunity.

  Long Chen chased, refusing to allow Xue You to have time to form hand seals. But just as he was about to catch up to him, he suddenly noticed a woman not far behind Xue You. He was startled and hastily stopped, vigilantly staring at her. This woman’s aura was exceedingly terrifying, and it made him feel endless pressure. Furthermore, she was wearing the Corrupt path’s robes.

  “Leng Yueyan!” Xue You let out a startled cry.

  Chapter 829 Devil Empress Leng Yueyan

  “Leng Yueyan!”

  Hearing that name, Long Chen’s heart shook.

  He saw that this woman was wearing scarlet, skintight robes which revealed all her curves. Her body had practically reached the pinnacle of perfection. Her long hair fell naturally to her waist. That beautiful face was like a flawless jade. But that jade contained endless iciness.

  The most unforgettable thing about her was her pair of ocean-blue eyes. They were like sapphires, yet also like stars in the night sky. Those eyes were beautiful enough to steal a person’s soul.

  However, those beautiful eyes were chilling to the peak. Endless killing intent poured out of them.

  Xue You turned pale as paper when he saw Leng Yueyan. His eyes were filled with endless terror, and he hastily fled from her.

  A sword came out of its sheath. It was like a bolt of lightning slashing through space to reach Xue You. That dumbfounded Long Chen. What was going on?

  A single slash of Leng Yueyan’s sword sealed all the space around Xue You. She had struck so quickly, that even Long Chen hadn’t seen how she had moved. Her sword-light reached Xue You in an instant.

  Xue You had been prepared and fled as soon as he had seen Leng Yueyan, but even when he tried to block with his sword, he was unable to keep up with Leng Yueyan’s demonic speed. His other leg left his body.

  “You bitch Leng Yueyan! And you bastard Long Chen, just wait! Devil Eye Blood Escape!”

  Xue You furiously roared. His third eye opened and black blood poured out from it. That blood transformed into runes that wrapped around him. Space twisted, and just like that, he escaped from Long Chen and Leng Yueyan’s sight.

  This was Xue You’s life-saving technique. He wouldn’t easily use it, because it caused immense injury to his devil eye. In fact, the sequelae might be permanent. But he had no other choice.

  Seeing that Xue You was still able to escape in this kind of situation, Long Chen felt a bit powerless. People on this level really weren’t easy to deal with. All kinds of techniques poured out of them endlessly.

  The only thing that he couldn’t figure out was how the Corrupt King Xue You and the Devil Empress Leng Yueyan would fight as soon as they saw each other. Weren’t they the Corrupt path’s top experts? Leng Yueyan had clearly been intending on taking Xue You’s life.

  Just as he was bewildered by this, he saw Leng Yueyan slowly turn back as if Xue You’s escape wasn’t the slightest bit out of her expectations.

  Her sapphire eyes sparkled with an icy light. Being looked at by those eyes, Long Chen had a sensation that all his secrets were being seen through.

  Seeing her just looking at him, he felt his hair stand on end. Was this an intimidation tactic?

  Leng Yueyan looked at Long Chen, and Long Chen looked at Leng Yueyan. Long Chen was startled to see that Leng Yueyan was practically not human.

  She was just too perfect. There wasn’t the slightest flaw on her body. Even her eyebrows seemed to be identical down to the hair. She was like the masterpiece of a god.

  But this unbelievably beautiful woman possessed a terrifying aura. When looking at her, no one would feel any amicability. It was more like they were staring at a goddess of death that would take their life at will.

  Only now that Leng Yueyan had turned back did Long Chen notice her sword. It sparkled like white jade. It was actually a bone sword.

  It was unknown whether that bone came from a human or a Magical Beast. It released a malevolent air as if it had come from hell and thirsted to devour other people’s souls.

  Long Chen quickly scanned all of Leng Yueyan’s body. But Leng Yueyan was still just looking at Long Chen without saying a word.

  Was she trying to compete in terms of stubbornness? Long Chen’s guard was raised. Leng Yueyan was an even more terrifying expert than Xue You, or Xue You wouldn’t be so terrified of her.

  Leng Yueyan continued to look at Long Chen, and he continued to look back at her. But that tense atmosphere was difficult to endure. Although his opponent was a peerless beauty, he couldn’t look at her as a woman. She was definitely a vicious character.

  Long Chen didn’t say anything. This was a silent competition. Whoever got impatient first would fall into the disadvantageous position.

  “You are Devil Empress Leng Yueyan?” Completely on guard, Long Chen still opened his mouth in the end. Just staying silent like this wasn’t a solution.

  Leng Yueyan was expressionless. Long Chen felt like his robes were being seen through. Her gaze seemed to be able to easily penetrate him.

  “Are you mute?” Long Chen frowned.

  But even such a provocation didn’t cause any fluctuations in Leng Yueyan.

  “She is calculating your weakness and habits from your outer form. If you don’t take the initiative, her first attack will very likely take your life,” said the Eastern Wasteland Bell.

  “What? How could that be possible?”

  “The cultivation technique she trains in is different from everyone else. Those eyes of her are called Voidpiercing Eyes. That name comes from how they are able to see through all emptiness, all lies. Through your posture, your movements, the way you hold your sword, how you breathe, your eyes, and even the veins in your muscles, she is able to calculate your habits and find your fatal weaknesses,” said the Eastern Wasteland Bell.

  Long Chen’s heart skipped a beat. He hadn’t expected Leng Yueyan to be that terrifying. If it weren’t for the Eastern Wasteland Bell’s warning, he wouldn’t have even realized he was already in a disadvantageous position.

  He immediately took the initiative. As one of the Martial Heaven Continent’s legendary divine items, he knew the Eastern Wastelan
d Bell wouldn’t trick him over something like this. Furthermore, he was also feeling more and more uneasy as if danger was getting closer.

  His sword slashed forth. Leng Yueyan also moved, her bone sword shooting forward. Her speed was incredible. She had only just moved when her sword reached its peak speed.

  Long Chen’s hand trembled as he almost lost his grip on his sword. His attack was easily blocked. He hadn’t expected Leng Yueyan to possess such wrist strength.

  Using a sword was different from using a saber. A saber relied on brute force, not technique. It relied on using the arm to release the entire body’s power.

  But a sword was much more refined. It relied on subtle changes and variations. It required wrist strength to control those subtle changes, so it had high requirements in that regard.

  Although Long Chen was using a sword now, in truth, he was simply using his saber techniques. His wrist strength might be strong, but he didn’t know anything about controlling those subtle changes. As a result, he immediately lost out in their first exchange.

  Having his sword blocked, Long Chen immediately knew the situation had turned sour. Leng Yueyan’s sword was already piercing toward his chest. That speed was so quick that there was no time to react. Long Chen had never fought an opponent with such rapid attacks.

  His chest was pierced, but he ignored it. His sword was directly slashing at Leng Yueyan’s waist. No matter how he tried or blocked, it would already be too late. If the power in Leng Yueyan’s sword was allowed to erupt inside his chest, then even if he didn’t die, he would be heavily injured.

  He could only choose to sacrifice his life to take her life. This was the only method to use when there were no other methods. Leng Yueyan was too fast, so fast that it was practically beyond human limits. By the time you saw her move, you would already be struck.

  Long Chen’s chest erupted as Leng Yueyan extracted her sword and blocked Long Chen’s attack. She had timed everything perfectly.

  This time, sparks flew and a metallic ringing erupted. It was like that bone blade wasn’t bone, but metal.
