Chapter 5645 Injury for Injury, Life for Life
The demon race’s peak experts, monsters that had been sealed in the primal chaos era, geniuses that stood at the peak of all heavenly geniuses, existences that could look down on all others, were still unable to escape Long Chen’s devil hand.
Hou Tianwu, Xue Yingfeng, and now even Xiang Tu were all unimaginably powerful. But the other thing that they shared in common was that they had been slapped in the face by Long Chen.
Just what was a slap in the face? It was an exceedingly humiliating act. The stronger the person, the more prideful the person, the more they couldn’t tolerate such a humiliation.
However, let them experience this humiliation thoroughly. Ignoring whether or not Long Chen died today, just these three slaps alone were enough to make a name for himself.
In truth, Long Chen hadn’t been thinking about slapping Xiang Tu. He wasn’t in the mood. A slap wasn’t able to bring him any advantage.
However, since Xiang Tu had thrown his face right at him, Long Chen could only fulfill his wish. After slapping him, Long Chen swung Evilmoon, his dragon blood power erupting.
The bad thing though was that his dragon blood was now exceptionally violent, and wasn’t fully under control. His saber swayed, leaving phantoms around it. That was a sign of its power being too scattered. His dragon blood power was not able to be fully unleashed.
BOOM!
As expected, Xiang Tu casually blocked it, and Long Chen was sent reeling back, more blood spraying from his mouth. It was like his dragon blood found an opening, and he spat out another mouthful of blood.
Long Chen was shocked, and hastily circulated his violet blood to suppress it. His violet blood wasn’t as violent as his dragon blood. It was exceptionally gentle, and his dragon blood instantly became a bit more gentle.
The blood that Long Chen spat out turned into clear smoke that actually flowed in the direction of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest.
However, it went around the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest. It was absorbed by the giant channel. Long Chen’s heart shook. His essence blood was actually absorbed by the Emperor reverse scale.
Long Chen suddenly thought of a chilling possibility. Just like how he wanted the Emperor reverse scale, the Emperor reverse scale also wanted the essence blood in his body.
“You damn insect, how dare you blaspheme me?! Die!”
Xiang Tu might not be injured by this slap, but he felt a stinging pain on his cheek. His fury exploded, and his elephant tusk spear pierced towards Long Chen.
Xiang Tu’s attack made Long Chen grumble. His astral energy was exhausted, and his dragon blood couldn’t be used, while his violet blood was placating his dragon blood.
Seven-color light flowed on top of Evilmoon. In this circumstance, Long Chen could only use his seven-color Supreme Blood.
BOOM!
The seven-color divine light exploded, and Evilmoon went flying out of his hand. Long Chen’s right hand was turned into a bloody pulp.
“Long Chen!”
Tang Wan-er cried out. She bit her lip so hard that it bled.
She wanted to save Long Chen, but then she would be putting the Dragonblood warriors in danger.
If she saved Long Chen and the Dragonblood warriors died for it, Long Chen definitely wouldn’t forgive her.
However, if she didn’t do anything, Long Chen would die to Xiang Tu. Tears streamed down her face. Her mind went blank. She quivered, not knowing what to do.
With Evilmoon sent flying, Long Chen was completely open. Xiang Tu’s weapon had exhausted most of its power in this attack, but it wasn’t stopped. It continued onwards and pierced Long Chen’s chest.
The elephant tusk pierced through Long Chen’s body. Seeing him injured, Xiang Tu raised his hand to clutch Long Chen’s throat. He didn’t want Long Chen to die that quickly.
“Big brother Long Chen!”
Xiao Yue and the others shouted. They almost went crazy and were about to charge out of the barrier.
Just then, Long Chen suddenly extended his left hand. A strange leaf appeared in his hand. Black lightning swirled on top of it. An incredibly sinister aura was unleashed. Long Chen smiled sinisterly and smashed this leaf onto Xiang Tu’s abdomen.
Xiang Tu’s fingers had just touched Long Chen’s neck when an intense sensation of death enveloped him. His hair stood on end. He felt like he had just been dropped into an icebox.
By this point, it was too late to dodge. Divine light gathered in front of him. His seven core veins appeared in front of him as well, forming a shield.
Blood exploded. Xiang Tu’s shield instantly shattered, and a hole was pierced through his thick chest.
With an explosive sound, both Long Chen and Xiang Tu were sent flying. This was a practically suicidal exchange that shocked the demon race’s experts.
Now they understood why Long Chen had let go of Evilmoon. It was intentional. His goal was to use Evilmoon to partially block Xiang Tu’s attack and reduce it to the level that his physical body could endure it before launching a counterattack.
Thinking back, it almost seemed like Long Chen had intentionally used his chest to receive Xiang Tu’s attack. His left hand had been behind him at that time.
No one had noticed this detail before, but thinking back, it seemed like this had all been planned by Long Chen. He had used this method to bait Xiang Tu into close range and deal a lethal attack.
What shocked them the most was that Long Chen had even factored in the fact that Xiang Tu didn’t want to kill him immediately.
It was only thanks to Xiang Tu wanting to capture him alive that his hand had gone for his throat. That was what gave Long Chen the optimal opening.
Long Chen had just gambled with his life, and he had won. Most terrifying of all, his gaze hadn’t so much as twitched in all of that. That icy calm terrified them.
“You… pfft!” Xiang Tu pointed at Long Chen, wanting to say something. But blood suddenly sprayed from his mouth.
A disgusting stench came from this blood. He was shocked to find that black lightning continued to continuously damage his body at the wound to his chest. Even his Heavenly Doyen energy was unable to stop it.
Suddenly, the experts of the Mammoth Devil Elephant race formed hand seals together. Devil qi erupted, enveloping Xiang Tu.
Black lightning appeared around all of them. They were using their collective power to help Xiang Tu counter this strange power.
With this black lightning spread around all of them, black qi appeared on their faces like they were poisoned. But split between all of them, the mysterious vine’s power was no longer fatal.
However, although its power was split between all of them, Xiang Tu was still in a difficult state. He wouldn’t be able to recover immediately.
“Die, you foolish human race!”
Just then, golden wings covered the sky. The expert from the Golden Great Peng race took advantage of this timing to attack.
“Even if I grow old and injured, I, Long Chen, would never die to trash like you.” Long Chen was already injured and seemed powerless to resist. But just then, he shut one eye and prepared to use the Purgatory Eyes.
This was his final trump card. He could only hope to eliminate one of them. But even then, it was meaningless. The Heaven Demon Alliance still had so many experts. But one was better than none.
“Who dares to bully my big brother Long?!”
Just then, a heaven-shaking roar rang out. It was like the roar of an ancient barbarian god. A pair of enormous golden hands stretched out of the void and grabbed the Golden Great Peng.
The Golden Great Peng was so enormous that its wings covered the sky. But in front of those hands, it looked like a tiny bird.
Before it could even resist, it was ripped apart by those hands. Blood rained down as the Golden Great Peng was ripped in two.
