Then using the rebound power, Long Chen flipped back, twisting through the air. Blooddrinker slashed through the air.
“Split the Heavens 3!” A blood-colored saber-image looked like it was hitting nothing. But when it fell, space exploded in front of it, revealing two shocked faces.
Those two were the Bloodkill Hall’s assassins. When Long Chen had attacked the ancient race experts, they had used their secret art to conceal themselves and launch a fatal attack.
As top assassins of the Bloodkill Hall, they had the utmost confidence in their concealing arts. And with the two of them absorbing the other’s killing intent, it made it even more impossible for others to sense them. Countless experts had died to their blades.
But they had only just hidden themselves and started preparing to strike when Long Chen struck them. There was no way to dodge this fierce attack, so they hastily blocked. But one side was attacking suddenly, while the other was hastily meeting the attack. The twins ended up knocked back, vomiting blood.
“Impossible! How did you notice us?!” roared the two of them in disbelief.
“Idiot, don’t use the same move twice in front me, or you’ll die,” sneered Long Chen. Then ignoring the two of them, he shot after the three ancient race experts.
In truth, these twin Bloodkill Hall assassins were extremely powerful. With their killing intent absorbed by the other, he truly found it difficult to sense their hostility.
In an intense battle, it was even more difficult to sense them. But Long Chen wasn’t a fool. How could he allow them to unleash such terrifying assassination arts?
The first moment they had sneak attacked him, when he had caught one of their swords, he had used his own blood mixed with some medicinal powders to leave a mark on the sword.
Then he had smashed that sword into the other assassin’s sword. Now both those swords were marked with his specific aura.
This aura was essentially impossible for others to sense. But Long Chen was extremely sensitive to his blood, especially the dragon blood essence within it. He was able to clearly pinpoint their positions without even seeing them.
Of course, he wouldn’t tell them this secret. Instead, he used some braggart words that could anger them to death.
As a result, the two of them were infuriated and shocked. They were unable to see any clues as to how Long Chen had broken their concealing arts. Since that was the case, they decided to stop using their hidden assassination arts and instead charge at Long Chen.
With the two Bloodkill Hall assassins and the three ancient race experts, Long Chen was now fighting five rank eight Celestials.
But what shocked everyone was that Long Chen seemed unstoppable. Even on his own, he suppressed the other five. He was the one who decided the battle’s tempo.
As the six of them fought a heaven-shaking battle in the distance, Han Wenjun was filled with envy.
Suddenly, he looked at Xia Youluo. He saw that she had already recovered and was looking worshipfully at Long Chen, looking intoxicated. His fury soared.
“Everyone attack! Kill every last member of the Grand Xia!” shouted Han Wenjun. He led the Grand Han’s experts in attacking the Grand Xia’s side. Following them were the ancient races’ remaining members, as well as six experts from the Pill Tower.
Chapter 1221 Blood Dyes the Ancient Remnant
Long Chen fought intensely against the five powerful enemies, with Blooddrinker dancing through the air. People could only see six figures shooting back and forth as the sky shook around them.
Seeing that Long Chen could fight against these five powerful experts, Han Wenjun was deeply shocked. He sent out the order for everyone to attack the distant Grand Xia experts.
A vague feeling of unease appeared in Han Wenjun’s heart. Perhaps he would have to capture the Grand Xia’s experts in order to enter an invincible position. At the very least, he had to capture Xia Youluo.
“Han Wenjun, I’ll kill you, you bastard!” Suddenly, a woman’s cry full of killing intent rang out. A sword slashed at Han Wenjun like a flying rainbow.
“Hmph, little slut, I’ll capture you again right now.” Han Wenjun sneered and suddenly reached out. Runes lit up on his fingers as he caught Xia Youluo’s sword, while his other hand reached toward her throat.
Xia Youluo was shocked. Instead of injuring him when her sword struck his hand, she found herself unable to pull it back. She had never imagined Han Wenjun was this terrifyingly powerful.
An explosion of energy came from Han Wenjun’s palm. Xia Youluo’s whole body shook and she vomited a mouthful of blood. She was instantly injured and unable to resist at all as Han Wenjun’s hand reached for her throat.
“Fuck off!” A furious roar rang out, and a fist smashed into Han Wenjun’s palm. Xia Yunchong had arrived, blocking his attack, while also pushing Xia Youluo back.
But when Xia Yunchong’s fist collided with Han Wenjun’s palm, his expression changed. He was actually forced back by Han Wenjun.
“Xia Youluo, get back and protect the crown prince,” shouted Xia Yunchong, his expression grave.
“But…”
“Listen to orders! Go protect the crown prince!” ordered Xia Yunchong.
Xia Youluo’s eyes were red. She felt herself to be useless. The person who had tricked her was right in front of her, but she couldn’t get revenge and had implicated her big brother.
Clenching her teeth, she flew over to Xia Yunfeng and the others, who were currently besieged by powerful enemies.
Once Xia Youluo was gone, Xia Yunchong turned to face Han Wenjun icily. “No wonder Long Chen said you were no longer the old you. You actually absorbed the Grand Chu and Grand Zhou’s dragon vein energy for yourself. Now your power isn’t any lower than those top experts.”
Others might not be able to tell, but the instant Xia Yunchong had been forced back by Han Wenjun’s palm, he had realized something was wrong.
Using his dragon vein energy to see, he finally sensed a huge dragon vein image supporting Han Wenjun from behind him. It was several times stronger than his own dragon vein energy.
This kind of dragon vein image was something only those who possessed dragon vein energy could sense. And yet it hadn’t escaped Long Chen’s senses either.
“Hahaha, correct. The Grand Zhou and Grand Chu’s imperial disciples have been killed by me, and I’ve already absorbed all their dragon vein energy. As soon as all your Grand Xia’s imperial disciples are killed, the Grand Xia, the Grand Zhou, and the Grand Chu will have lost a third of their karmic luck. This karmic luck will end up supporting my Grand Han, so your three nations will decline, while my Grand Han will only grow stronger. We won’t need to waste any time thinking of how to get any historical remnants, making any idols, or stealing any cultural inheritances. Only my Grand Han Ancient Nation will remain within the Central Plains, hahaha!” Han Wenjun laughed uproariously, his voice full of pride. It was like he could already see the day of the Grand Han uniting all the ancient nations.
“Hmph, keep dreaming. Shameless bastards, you’re just idiots with overblown confidence. Today, I’ll let you and your ambitions die within this ancient remnant!” Xia Yunchong shot forward, unleashing a whistling fist at Han Wenjun.
“The idiot is you, Xia Yunchong. With your connection to your dragon vein severed, the amount of dragon vein energy you can use has dropped. Furthermore, you’ve already knelt to me, and you no longer have the power of your Undefeatable Dao. Without the pressure of the Undefeatable Dao restricting me, you still think you can win? Keep dreaming. You’re the one who will die here.” Han Wenjun smiled contemptuously. If it was before, he definitely wouldn’t have dared to fight Xia Yunchong in a one against one.
But now, he had stolen the Grand Chu and Grand Zhou’s dragon vein energy for himself, as well as broken Xia Yunchong’s Undefeatable Dao. He was fearless.
Their fist and palm once more collided, and both sides were knocked back by the other.
“Even without the doma
in of my Undefeatable Dao, I, Xia Yunchong, am not someone an idiot like you can look down upon!” shouted Xia Yunchong. He clearly sensed that his undefeatable will was no longer able to suppress others, but that didn’t affect the rest of his combat powers.
Han Wenjun was shocked inside. Even without the suppression of the Undefeatable Dao, making it so he could unleash his full power when fighting, he was still unable to suppress Xia Yunchong. His urge to kill Xia Yunchong rose.
The two of them continued a fierce fight, while Xia Youluo flew over to the other powerful enemies besieging the Grand Xia’s side.
“KILL!” Xia Youluo suddenly let out a furious roar. She who had been living a golden life and weaving her own dreams of the rest of the world had finally seen the cruelty of reality.
She hated herself for being naive, she hated herself for being foolish, and now she was transforming all this hatred into boundless killing intent.
Her sword mercilessly flew through the air. Each of her attacks was incredibly vicious, her moves almost suicidal. Her enemies were not able to stop her.
She felt like she had gone crazy. She needed to kill people, to kill all these enemies. That was the only way to vent her fury, her hatred, and to relieve the pain in her heart.
“Watch out, this woman’s crazy!” shouted an ancient race expert. Xia Youluo’s eyes were red, and she was unleashing boundless killing intent. She was ignoring other people’s attacks, continuously launching attacks where she exchanged injury for lives.
In the first instant, she took the lives of seven rank seven Celestials. Xia Youluo felt herself to be insane. She even felt a desire to die fighting on this battlefield, like that was the only way to relieve her guilt.
On this battlefield, the only rank eight Celestial from the Grand Han, Han Qijun, went all-out to block Xia Youluo’s sword. As a result, he almost coughed up blood in his first exchange with her.
“Ignore the others for now! Kill this crazy woman!” shouted Han Qijun.
Xia Youluo’s talent was innately high, and if it weren’t for her willful desire to have fun, her accomplishments probably wouldn’t be any less than Xia Yunchong’s.
Xia Youluo’s combat power was originally a level higher than Han Qijun’s. Now in this insane state, she had killed ten experts, none of them capable of matching her. If Han Qijun were to fight her one against one, he wouldn’t be able to last more than a few exchanges before being killed.
Originally, the addition of the ancient races and the Pill Tower’s experts should have allowed the Grand Han to completely suppress the Grand Xia’s experts. But Xia Youluo’s suicidal charge caught them completely off guard, and they abandoned their opponents to attack her.
The current Xia Youluo was absolutely terrifying. If they didn’t quickly suppress her, then by the time they killed the rest of the Grand Xia’s experts, she’d have also killed most of them.
In just a moment, Xia Youluo was fighting Han Qijun as well as over ten rank seven Celestials. In a few breaths, she was covered in injuries, blood dyeing her robes. She was beautiful in a poignant way.
Xia Youluo had taken these injuries in order to take the lives of three rank seven Celestials, giving her remaining opponents goosebumps. They were finally experiencing how terrifying women could be when they went crazy.
More and more of their top experts were drawn over to deal with Xia Youluo, relieving the pressure on the Grand Xia’s experts.
But seeing their princess covered in blood and fighting with her life on the line, they erupted with unprecedented power, going all-out.
Xia Yunfeng and the others also unleashed their greatest power. The battlefield’s situation became critical.
Long Chen was fighting one against five, Xia Yunchong was fighting Han Wenjun, and Xia Youluo was drawing over the remaining top experts, allowing the remaining Grand Xia experts to fight back at their opponents in a bloody battle.
These four battlefields were now all in a precarious state. If any of them took the advantage, it might affect the other battlefields, immediately causing a chain reaction.
If any of these battlefields were defeated, it would immediately cause a one-sided dominance. The battle would basically be decided.
So whether it was the Grand Xia’s experts or their opponents, they were all going all-out. Their blades were all merciless. People continuously died, their blood soaking into the ground.
Long Chen’s battle with the five experts had also reached its climax. At first, the five experts had been holding back. The ancient races and Bloodkill Hall didn’t want to work together, so they were fighting for themselves. But then as the fight continued, they realized that if they didn’t work together, they might really end up defeated by Long Chen.
Just a little while back, Long Chen had created an opportunity to land a punch on the tiger race expert, causing him to wildly vomit blood. If it hadn’t been for the elephant race expert’s timely assistance, Long Chen would have killed him with his saber.
As for the Bloodkill Hall’s assassins, one of them was almost killed by a kick from him, and the other assassin had to launch an unexpected suicidal attack on Long Chen. Long Chen hadn’t been assured of killing that person while also blocking this suicidal attack, which had saved the assassin’s life.
Having people from both their parties almost die shocked them. Long Chen’s power was growing greater and greater. In the beginning, they had still been able to suppress him. But after an incense stick’s worth of time, they were being hunted by Long Chen.
“Bastard! He’s using us to adapt to his power! Everyone, stop holding back and kill him now!” The eagle race expert finally came to a shocking realization.
Long Chen’s combat power was rising as his control over his power increased. Through the eagle race expert’s warning, the others also realized this. They were both shocked and infuriated. They had actually ended up being a whetstone for Long Chen.
“Don’t hold back!” roared the eagle race expert. His wings spread and golden runes flowed out. Two runes revolved in his eyes as he activated his Spirit Blood.
His lance viciously pierced at Long Chen, tearing through space with an ear-piercing rumble.
Chapter 1222 Heaven Fermenting Divine Jar
The eagle race expert activated his Spirit Blood through a secret art. When the ancient races activated their Spirit Blood, their combat power would multiply, as they had the bloodline of the Xuan Beasts.
This was different from when the human race activated their Spirit Blood. The Spirit Blood of the ancient races contained their Xuan Beast bloodline, but their bodies were in human form. They were unable to endure such terrifying power for a long time.
That was why the ancient races also considered the human race as absolute garbage. The human race bloodline affected their combat power, making it so they were unable to fully unleash the power of the Xuan Beast bloodline within them. So they hated the human race.
Now that he activated his Spirit Blood, his combat power crazily soared. However, his body wouldn’t be able to endure this kind of power for long. He had to end the fight quickly.
BOOM!
Long Chen’s saber collided with the eagle race expert’s lance. Long Chen’s hand trembled and he was knocked back. Blood dripped down his hand.
He was shocked inside. The ancient races truly had some skills. That was especially true for their rank eight Celestials. Their bloodline power was even more terrifying.
The elephant and tiger race experts also unleashed the power of their bloodlines. Vast swathes of space twisted around them, while heaven and earth shook from their power. It was possible to vaguely hear the sound of an elephant cry and tiger roar.
“Killing God Blessing, Blood Spirit Sacrifice!”
At the same time, the Bloodkill Hall’s assassins unleashed a shocking move. Blood poured out of every single one of their pores, condensing into runes that unleashed boundless murderous aura.
The pressure from these five eruptions c
aused the entire battlefield to tremble. Everyone’s hearts shook, and they glanced over in shock.
But they were no longer able to see Long Chen and the others. Space was twisting around them, and terrifying pressure raged within. Most of them were unable to sense anything inside the twisted space.
Xia Yunchong and the others were shocked. Just from these auras, it was clear those five experts had unleashed their full power.
The ending of this life and death battle was within Long Chen’s hands. If he could endure this, there was still hope. If he was defeated, they would all be killed!
“Everything’s up to you, Long Chen.” Xia Yunchong looked at Long Chen’s battlefield. Only a rank eight Celestial like him had the ability to peer through this twisted space to see what was inside.
Xia Youluo had awoken slightly from her craziness. Seeing that battlefield in the air and sensing those five powerful auras, she felt even more remorse.
She hated herself for being powerless. Other than stubbornly scolding people and crying like a child, she didn’t have any ability at all. She wasn’t any help at this critical time at all.
Long Chen was fighting those five peak experts all on his own. All the Grand Xia’s experts’ lives were in his hands. As for her, she could only watch from a distance.
“Long Chen, you have to win! I can die, but you can’t. I don’t want my brothers to die, and I don’t want the warriors of my Grand Xia to die either.” Xia Youluo clenched her teeth and prayed.
Seeing these five experts unleash heaven-shaking auras, Long Chen’s gaze became fiery.
From the battle, he had completely adapted to his newfound power. He was also more confident.
Now that he was facing these five experts, any of whom could shake the outside world, he felt pressure but also excitement. That was a primal desire to fight against experts that came from the depths of his soul.
He was now completely adapted to his power, and he no longer had any misgivings either.
