Chapter 5916 Surprise Attack
“You idiot! Once you dive into that battlefield, even I won’t be able to save you! You’ll die!” The Earth Cauldron roared in frustration as Long Chen charged back toward the raging battle.
The Earth Cauldron rarely panicked—let alone roared at Long Chen. That alone was enough to show that things had reached a critical point.
The Earth Cauldron couldn’t comprehend Long Chen. Even an idiot would know that running away was the only rational choice right now.
Yet, Long Chen insisted on doing the most foolish thing possible. The Earth Cauldron nearly went mad with fury. If it weren’t bound by its recognition of Long Chen as its master, it would have forcibly restrained him and dragged him away.
“I’m sorry, senior. I can’t abandon them to save myself,” Long Chen said as he gritted his teeth, his expression stubborn.
Even knowing this was no different from a moth flying into a flame, he refused to sacrifice others for his own survival.
The odds were grim. But he had to try—no matter how slim the chance.
BOOM!
With an eruption of his dragon blood power, he passed through the heavenly screen. A terrifying pressure, like millions of blades, instantly slammed into him.
Even protected by the Dragon Blood Battle Armor, he almost coughed up blood under the pressure.
...
The five battling figures were shocked to see Long Chen return. In particular, Liu Changtian’s expression was extremely ugly.
“You idiot, what are you doing back here?!” shouted Liu Changtian.
Liu Changtian and Liu Xihua were holding a sun-sized sphere of runes. It pulsed with a supreme Sovereign might, freezing Long Can, Yan Yang, and Lian Sanqiang temporarily.
Earlier, because they were three against two, Long Can had managed to free up an attack to strike at Long Chen through space.
Seeing that, Liu Changtian and Liu Xihua panicked and unleashed their full power to intercept her, unleashing a deadly ripple that tore apart the Undying Demon Forest. They gambled that Long Chen, with the Earth Cauldron, would survive the shockwave—and he did.
While the ripple destroyed the Undying Demon Forest, Liu Changtian and Liu Xihua managed to bind down the three of them.
Their sacrifice had bought enough time for Long Chen and the Undying race’s children to escape. In any case, exchanging their lives for the future of their people was worth it. They were happy to do so.
But Long Chen had come back.
Liu Changtian’s heart burned with fury, and Liu Xihua felt as if knives were stabbing into her chest.
“You foolish child, if you die, how will Ruyan and Chu Yao live?!” shouted Liu Xihua.
“Hahaha, I knew it—a nine star heir would never flee. That would disgrace the Nine Star Master!” Lian Sanqiang laughed loudly.
Long Can, Yan Yang, and Lian Sanqiang were all stunned that Long Chen had returned. But Lian Sanqiang seized the moment, using his words to trap Long Chen.
Two against three, Liu Changtian and Liu Xihua wouldn’t last much longer. As long as they captured Long Chen, there was no need to worry about the survivors of the Undying race.
Long Chen’s figure split into three lightning clones, rushing at the three of them.
“An ant trying to shake a tree. Laughable!” Yan Yang sneered.
BOOM!
All the lightning clones exploded before they even touched the enemies, unable to breach their protective divine light.
However, Long Chen didn’t seem surprised. Instead, his true body charged straight at Yan Yang.
“Don’t!” Liu Xihua cried out in horror.
Long Chen would just be sending himself to his death. She realized that it was the real Long Chen this time—not a clone.
Even Liu Changtian panicked. He had no idea what turned this wily fox into an idiot.
“Courting death!” Yan Yang roared.
Seeing Long Chen choose to attack him, Yan Yang was enraged. Long Chen clearly regarded him as the weak link.
“Yan Yang, don't kill him. Capture him alive. I want his life,” transmitted Long Can coldly.
At the same time, Lian Sanqiang's voice also rang in Yan Yang’s ears. “Lord Yan Yang, capture him alive. He'll be key to hunting down the last remnants of the Undying race.”
At this moment, Long Chen had reached Yan Yang. Yan Yang’s protective divine light suddenly vanished, allowing Long Chen to reach him without resistance.
“Die!” Long Chen roared, concentrating all his dragon blood power into his palm as he slammed it toward Yan Yang’s back.
The five experts were all baffled. Against a powerhouse like Yan Yang, Long Chen was actually fighting barehanded?
Everyone knew that the human race relied on forging, formations, and magical arts to compensate for their physical weakness. Even with the Dragon Blood Battle Armor, Long Chen was facing someone enveloped in Sovereign qi. This barehanded strike was no different from a housefly scratching a divine mountain. It couldn’t even be considered an itch.
Yan Yang’s expression darkened. Did Long Chen look down on him?
BOOM!
Long Chen’s palm landed squarely on Yan Yang’s back. Blood splashed into the air.
But it wasn’t Yan Yang’s blood—it was Long Chen’s. His hand was pulverized on impact. Even with his formidable dragon blood power, he couldn’t withstand the Sovereign qi’s defense.
At that moment, black flames erupted from Yan Yang’s body, surging around Long Chen like millions of black dragons, binding him tightly.
“Since you’ve come, don’t even think about leaving!” sneered Yan Yang.
Long Can smiled coldly. Long Chen was her target, and she couldn’t care less about the others.
Lian Sanqiang was also delighted. Long Chen's potential terrified him. If Long Chen escaped today, he would eventually become an unstoppable nightmare. Eliminating him now was the best thing to do.
“What do we do?!” Liu Xihua panicked. She was willing to trade her life to save Long Chen, but there was nothing she could do.
Liu Changtian was just as anxious. Both sides were pulling against each other in a deadlock; no one dared to make a move. He wanted to save Long Chen, but he simply couldn't.
Just then, the black flames around Long Chen suddenly vanished, as if swallowed by an invisible mouth.
“What?”
Yan Yang’s expression changed drastically. A sense of imminent danger exploded in his heart.
The next instant, a vine materialized in Long Chen’s hand and, without hesitation, coiled around Yan Yang.
