Chapter 6027 Fleeing
“The human race has launched a counterattack. Unexpectedly, it’s not their elders, but the kings of the junior generation who are sweeping through cities and dyeing the Sovereign Emperor Heaven in fresh blood!”
In a cave, over ten bulky men were sitting together. They looked to be between their forties and fifties, and each of them possessed Blood Qi as vast as mountains. Their Sovereign Qi was incredibly dense. Though none were true Sovereign Lords, their auras far surpassed those of average Sovereign Lords.
They all stared silently at the photographic jade before them, shock reflected in their deep blue eyes.
“That’s Long Chen? To dare step forward at a time like this... he’s got guts,” one of them said.
“Should we notify Moon God Peak?” another asked.
Shaking his head, the first man replied, “Keep the photographic jade to ourselves. Don’t report it.”
“But...”
“No buts. The Moon God princess is in the midst of awakening her howling moon power. She cannot be disturbed at this critical juncture. If blame falls on us later, I’ll bear it. Frankly, this is a matter for the human race, and it should have been handled by the human race from the start. If Long Chen dies in these battles, it simply means he wasn’t strong enough—unworthy of the Moon God Princess’s favor, let alone leading the great Moon Howling Heaven Wolf race!”
Crack!
He crushed the photographic jade in his hand.
...
Within the blood barbarian race, thousands of elders were kowtowing toward an altar. As they kowtowed, a dense blood-colored mist spread through the air.
An unstable and profound rune flickered on top of the altar, like a spiderweb slowly spreading. At its center lay a large giant who was sleeping sweetly. It was Wilde.
As the ritual progressed, sacred runes streamed from all directions, pouring into Wilde’s massive frame. A divine blessing was descending upon him.
This was no ordinary ceremony. It was solemn and sacred. No one in the surroundings dared show the slightest disrespect.
Though they too had received the photographic jade, the blood barbarian race had no time for it. They were undertaking something far more important.
Among the gathered elders, one wielding a bone staff cried out to the heavens in fervent prayer.
“Great Barbarian God, a new era is upon us! Awaken your Godhood now!”
...
The slaughter continued. But this time, it happened in the open wilderness.
Countless non-human experts fled in terror while the Dragonblood warriors relentlessly pursued them. Wherever their sword Qi swept, bodies fell.
This marked the 136th city Long Chen and his allies had struck. But when they arrived, their targets were already in the middle of wreaking havoc.
Word of Long Chen’s carnage had spread far and wide. Terrified, these invaders were looting what they could before making their escape.
Unfortunately, they were too slow. Long Chen had arrived before they could flee. Had they run as soon as they’d heard the news—without bothering to loot—they could have escaped. Since they hesitated, they had to pay the price.
Ironically, they didn’t even know how to set up transportation formations or use formation discs. The Dragonblood Legion hunted them down and wiped them out.
“Quick, next!” Xia Chen shouted.
They had caused such a ruckus that even the most secluded factions had started catching wind of their movements. Despite the Huayun Trading Company’s best efforts to block the flow of information to those factions, it was simply not realistic to spread and block the information at the same time.
Although the Huayun Trading Company was doing their best to avoid sending word to those factions, they could only do their best. After all, to spread word while also blocking it was not realistic. There was no way they could hide the news from these factions forever.
Still, considering how far the news had spread before these enemies started reacting, the Huayun Trading Company had done remarkably well.
When Long Chen and the others reached the next city, just like Xia Chen had expected, it was already abandoned.
“Change of plans. We're splitting into four corps,” Long Chen announced. “Xiaole, Little Nine, Guo Ran, you’ll go with Mingyuan. Xia Chen, I’ll be relying on you to set up long-distance transportation formations remotely. Prioritize speed over precision.”
The enemies were now fleeing. If they didn’t move faster, there would be no one left to kill.
However, splitting up came with risk. The Dragonblood warriors were already exhausted from continuous battle. If one group was so unlucky as to run into a true Sovereign Lord, they would be overwhelmed.
This was where Xia Chen’s brilliance truly shone. He had marked all the target cities and swiftly started constructing powerful long-distance teleportation formations. They lacked perfect accuracy but were more than good enough.
Each group also carried transportation discs. Even from afar, Xia Chen could remotely activate them, ensuring reinforcements could be summoned instantly if needed.
Among the four captains of the Dragonblood Legion, all were skilled offensive fighters. Only Song Mingyuan leaned more toward defense and support. That’s why Long Chen paired him with Guo Ran and Bai Xiaole.
Including Long Chen himself, the Dragonblood Legion split into five squads. With Xia Chen’s help, they were spatially transported to five separate cities.
A new round of slaughter started.
This time, Long Chen and Yue Zifeng wound up getting no one. Their enemies had already fled, but the other groups found some enemies.
Without pause, Long Chen activated another formation disc. Moments later, he appeared near a group of strange monsters—not devils or demons. They had long tails and powerful wings.
Long Chen didn’t waste a single word. With the Evilmoon Blade, he crazily slaughtered them.
Fewer than twenty Sovereign Lords stood before him, and none was strong enough to resist him. Within moments, they were slaughtered. Then, Huo Linger unleashed the World Extermination Flame Lotus, incinerating the rest.
Long Chen waved his hand, gathering the corpses. Any corpses that remained after the World Extermination Flame Lotus had to be Sovereign sprouts. Their corpses were still of use to Long Chen.
Long Chen activated another formation disc. This time, he missed slightly and had to fly for half an incense stick’s time to reach his target, only to find they’d already fled. He slapped his thigh in frustration.
He continued, but that target was also gone. Eventually, all squads regrouped.
Out of 158 targets, 147 were eliminated. Eleven escaped.
“It’s not perfect,” Gu Yang growled, wiping the blood from his face. “If we were just a little faster...”
The Dragonblood warriors were soaked in Sovereign blood. This blood was vile, tainted by the resentment of dying Sovereign Lords. Removing it required time and effort.
From the start to now, the Dragonblood warriors had never stopped fighting. Naturally, there was no time to get rid of these bloodstains.
Even Yue Zifeng couldn’t avoid being drenched in it. Yet, this gruesome blood armor became a symbol of terror in later battles.
The lingering resentment should have worn down their willpower. But their minds were like unshakable boulders.
Instead, it was their enemies whose willpower crumbled at the sight of them. Fear shattered their combat resolve. By the end, the Dragonblood warriors were entirely capable of killing Sovereign Lords in one-on-one combat.
Part of this was the psychological edge of the blood armor. But another part came from the constant exposure to Sovereign Qi. It stimulated their blood and nurtured their innate king qi. Their dragon blood powers continued to evolve.
“Although it wasn’t perfect, it’s still a huge win!” said Song Mingyuan.
Suddenly, the void in the distance quivered, and a streak of light flew into Long Chen’s hand.
It was a spatial ring—with a new map inside, marked with fresh targets.
Long Chen couldn’t help but smile. The Huayun Trading Company truly understood him.
“Brothers, they can’t run! We’ll slaughter our way into their hives!”
