Chapter 5108 Beating Someone at Their Own Game
Hearing the domineering and arrogant voice, Feng You and Hu Xiaoyu looked up in disbelief.
The black-robed Long Chen was hovering above everyone. The devil creatures charged at him crazily, but the flames coming from his body directly incinerated them.
Long Chen had a pair of golden wings on his back—Golden Crow wings. As they flapped, a golden radiance illuminated the world, making everything around him appear holy.
The wings were undeniably flashy, shedding golden powder with each movement, like a river of stars flowing through the air. This spectacle made Long Chen look even more striking.
“Hey, large beauty, are you still doing well?” Long Chen called out, surprised to see Feng You and Hu Xiaoyu among the crowd. He waved at them.
An uproar erupted among the experts as they stared at him in horror. As for the surrounding devil creatures, they grew fearful and retreated, merely maintaining their encirclement.
Hu Xiaoyu rubbed her eyes. After confirming that she wasn’t seeing things, she shouted at those experts, “Didn’t you want to know where big brother Long Chen is? Didn’t you want to trade his head for a reward? He’s right there—so why are you cowering now?!”
“Oh? You want my head?” Long Chen asked, stepping toward them. His advance made them retreat in fear, scaring them even more than the march of all the devil creatures.
“A group of trash like you wants my head? Are you crazy?”
Long Chen’s gaze swept over the crowd. Among the hundreds of thousands of experts, there were barely a hundred Heavenly Chosens, and only a dozen or so were truly formidable. However, even they would be nothing against Long Chen’s strength. They wanted to kill him for the bounty? They really overestimated themselves.
“AH!”
A sudden, anguished shriek pierced the air. Hu Xiaoyu had stealthily slipped behind the cat woman and thrust her hand into the cat woman’s chest. She viciously bit down on the cat woman’s shoulder, tearing off a chunk of flesh.
“Who let you be so vicious?!”
“Who let you be so sinister?!”
“Who let you bully us?!”
Hu Xiaoyu seemed to have gone crazy. While this cat woman was a Heavenly Chosen, her power was extremely low, making her a bottom-tier existence among the Heavenly Chosens. With Hu Xiaoyu’s hand thrust through her chest, she was helpless and could only scream in agony.
Unable to contain her fury any longer, Hu Xiaoyu thought of how the cat woman had continuously bullied and suppressed them, sent many of their comrades to their deaths, and even tried to use the two of them as cannon fodder. Hence, she showed no mercy in her attack.
Feng You, on the other hand, was calmer. She came to Long Chen's side and looked at him with gratitude. “You’re right on time.”
Long Chen felt a bit awkward. Feng You had misunderstood his intentions. She believed he had come to rescue them, but in reality, he had not even noticed them when he first arrived.
“Cough, I’m glad the two of you are fine,” said Long Chen hastily.
“Xiaoyu...” Feng You called out to Hu Xiaoyu who was still tearing out the cat woman’s flesh. The cat woman was basically a skeleton now, her flesh littering the ground. It was a frightening sight.
After all, Hu Xiaoyu was part of the mixed beast race, so this nature was part of her. Once her anger erupted, it was hard to contain. She only stopped after Feng You shouted at her several times.
Hu Xiaoyu spat out the last mouthful of flesh and then drove her sword through the cat woman’s head. The remaining experts of the mixed beast race quivered in fright.
The devil creatures were no longer attacking and just surrounded them, observing everything. For now, they were safe.
However, the remaining experts were only safe against the devil creatures. Facing Long Chen, they felt no sense of security. After all, Long Chen was the one who scared the devil creatures into stopping.
“Big brother Long Chen, it’s a good thing you came. Otherwise, my big sister and I...”
Once Hu Xiaoyu calmed down, she rushed toward Long Chen as if wanting a hug.
“Wait a minute! Little sister, let me clean your face first,” Long Chen said hastily, waving his hand. Hu Xiaoyu’s mouth was covered in blood, and she also hadn’t retracted her fangs. Long Chen was afraid of getting bitten by accident.
Only then did Hu Xiaoyu notice her appearance and turn bright red. She had just revealed her ugliest side to Long Chen and felt the urge to find a hole to hide in.
“Why are you two here?” asked Long Chen.
Feng You gave a simple explanation of the spatial gate’s transportation. In the end, she added, “Long Chen, we should charge out while we can. Something is off with these devil creatures.”
Feng You had a growing sense of unease as she watched the devil creatures standing still.
Suddenly, the devil creatures started to move in unison, as if performing a coordinated dance. Feng You jumped in fright at the sight.
When Feng You gazed into the distance, her face turned pale with horror. She saw a three-vein Heaven Saint devil creature waving a white bone staff. As she looked in another direction, she saw a second one, and then a third appeared.
“It’s over.”
When Feng You saw the three Heaven Saint devil creatures, her complexion instantly turned pale as paper.
“Long Chen, you have to run! Leave us!” shouted Feng You.
Just then, a giant vortex appeared. Feng You’s heart sank as she felt a bizarre power bind her.
“Don’t worry, I’ll squeeze out all my power to send you to safety!” shouted Long Chen, pressing a hand on both of their backs.
“Don’t!” Feng You and Hu Xiaoyu both cried out.
“Foolish girls,” said Long Chen as he smiled slightly.
Long Chen pushed, and golden flames enveloped the two of them. They shot through the sky like shooting stars, piercing straight through the vortex.
The three Heaven Saint devil creatures were momentarily startled by the sight but quickly ignored it. Raising their bone staffs, they expanded the vortex several times its original size.
Everyone, including Long Chen, was quickly pulled into the vortex.
“Long Chen!” Feng You and Hu Xiaoyu cried out, but their power was sealed by Long Chen. They could only watch as Long Chen grew smaller and smaller, disappearing into the distance.
Just then, two talismans on their backs glowed, transporting them so far that they couldn’t even see where they had been.
“Big brother Long Chen...” Hu Xiaoyu wept. “It was all our fault!”
Acting composed, Feng You helped Hu Xiaoyu to her feet. She said, “Long Chen won’t die so easily. Perhaps he is only trapped. We should hurry to the core region and use the Heavenly Flame energy to advance to the Eternal realm. Maybe we can save him in time.”
Hu Xiaoyu wiped her tears and nodded. After that, she and Feng You rushed toward the core region.
