Chapter 5921 Capturing Yan Yang
“He’s been weakened! Kill him together!” shouted Liu Qingyu.
The previous spear came from Liu Qingyu. Not daring to clash head-on with such a terrifying opponent, he had launched a probing blow. Yet, to everyone's shock, it actually managed to shake Yan Yang.
“Attack!” Liu Minghao bellowed, immediately charging in, followed closely by nine others.
These ten were the top heavenly geniuses of the Sovereign Sprout Rankings. While the others had been exhausting Yan Yang's core energy, they had conserved their strength under Long Chen’s orders for this very moment.
“Big brother Long Chen, I...” Huo Linger’s panicked voice rang out in Long Chen’s ear.
“You’ve done very well, little sister. Leave the rest to us!” Long Chen comforted her warmly.
Earlier, when Yan Yang shattered the Seven Treasure Space, he also blew apart Huo Linger’s body. Having devoured too much Yan Xu Flame today, she could no longer contain its power. If she remained outside, Yan Yang’s influence would trigger the flames within her to riot, undoing all her efforts. Hence, she had to retreat to the primal chaos space.
Though she felt guilty for withdrawing, Long Chen was already deeply grateful for how much she had done. Without her crucial efforts to weaken Yan Yang, they would have been obliterated in the very first exchange.
“You ants, fuck off!” Yan Yang roared.
Black flames exploded out of him like a lotus in full bloom, blasting Liu Qingyu and the others away.
Even weakened, Yan Yang's strength was overwhelming. The gap was like that between an old tiger and a swarm of ants—no matter how many ants there were, they couldn’t kill a tiger.
“Long Chen, I’ll tear you to pieces!” Yan Yang roared, flames spitting from his eyes.
He had lived for countless years but had never been reduced to such a pitiful state. Furthermore, the one who pushed him to this point was actually a human Heaven Saint. It was a disgrace he could not accept.
The murderous intent froze Long Chen like an iceberg. Long Chen’s astral energy, dragon blood energy, violet blood energy, and seven-color Supreme Blood energy were all exhausted. His Spiritual Strength was also nearly depleted after using so many powerful techniques.
He was like a flickering lamp out of oil—just breathing was a struggle.
Suddenly, a soft hand pressed against his back. Warmth flooded into him, along with a familiar, gentle scent. It was Chu Yao.
“I’ll transfer my core energy to you,” Chu Yao whispered gently. “The Sovereign Lord said I have a rare universal core. My energy can transform into many types. I don’t know if it will help you, but it’s all we can do right now!”
Other than his astral energy, Long Chen’s dragon blood, violet blood, and seven-color Supreme Blood instantly responded, thirsting for this nourishing power.
Chu Yao quickly turned pale, her bright eyes dimming. She tottered on the verge of collapse.
“You foolish girl... Save some energy for yourself—you’ll faint!” Long Chen exclaimed, catching her as she fell.
“I felt your Blood Qi wanted more energy. It seems it worked...” she whispered with satisfaction, relieved that she could help her man.
“Don’t worry. Leave the rest to me,” Long Chen said.
Long Chen kissed her forehead tenderly and sent her out of the battlefield. Then he turned back to face Yan Yang.
Now, Yan Yang was exchanging blows with Liu Ruyan.
BOOM!
Wielding the Undying Eye, Liu Ruyan forcibly blocked one of Yan Yang’s punches but was still sent flying backward.
Among them all, only Liu Ruyan could block Yan Yang head-on. However, the light within the Undying Eye was rapidly dimming—it too had reached its limit.
Liu Ruyan felt like her whole body was going to fall apart, but she gritted her teeth and braced herself, refusing to back down.
Seeing Yan Yang charge at her again, she took a deep breath. She knew the Undying Eye’s energy was nearly spent. One more blow could cripple her or even kill her. Yet she didn’t hesitate.
Just as she prepared to act, a strong hand landed on her shoulder, and Long Chen’s voice came from behind her.
“Retreat. Don’t get blood on you.”
Long Chen shouted, “Dragon Blood Battle Armor!”
A dragon cry shook the heavens, and his Blood Qi erupted wildly.
Thanks to Chu Yao, his dragon blood energy had been restored to nearly fifty percent. He had focused entirely on letting his dragon blood runes absorb her core energy.
With this, Long Chen’s confidence rose once more. Yan Yang’s suffocating pressure instantly vanished.
In a flash, Long Chen struck, his palm slamming forward.
Yan Yang was still in the middle of being shocked by Long Chen’s recovery when he was blasted back.
“Divine Dragon Immolation Claw!” Long Chen roared, giving Yan Yang no chance to recuperate.
A dragon claw descended from the nine heavens, blowing apart the clouds, bringing with it a will to topple the laws of the world.
BOOM!
Yan Yang was ripped to shreds by this ferocious attack.
“Dragon Clutch!”
Long Chen shouted, clenching his fist. A dragon claw formed in the void and squeezed, gathering the torn fragments of Yan Yang’s body into an energy mass.
Yan Yang’s body appeared within this clump of energy. He roared, trying to escape the dragon claw.
“Stop, or I’ll kill Yan Yang!” Long Chen bellowed at the central battlefield, using Yan Yang as a hostage to force them to halt.
“Fascinating. I never expected it... A Heaven Saint, doing this? Long Chen, you truly are terrifying.” Lian Sanqiang’s voice echoed across the battlefield.
Lian Sanqiang’s figure swiftly appeared, and Long Chen’s and the Undying race’s disciples’ faces turned ashen.
Liu Xihua hung limply in his grasp, her life aura nearly nonexistent.
Tears streamed down Liu Ruyan’s face. She struggled to charge forward, but Liu Rujiao and Chu Yao desperately held her back.
I was still too late... Long Chen’s heart sank.
He had known Liu Xihua was already exhausted, barely holding on. Hence, Long Chen had pushed himself to the limit to save her—but still, he had been too late.
Just then, two other figures appeared: Long Can and Liu Changtian.
When they appeared, the Undying race’s disciples cheered. But Long Chen’s heart sank even further into despair.
