Chapter 6442 Bloody Battle
Long Chen struck without warning.
They were only a few hundred meters apart, and Bing Yi looked very confident as she had many powerful experts on her side. She knew Long Chen and his group couldn’t match them in numbers.
However, because Long Chen never flared his Sovereign flame in this attack, Bing Yi’s sense of danger was never triggered.
Pow!
Before she could react, Long Chen’s hand had cracked across her face. The slap blasted Bing Yi backward and left her dazed; a clear handprint marked her face.
It went without saying that the physical bodies of nine star heirs were truly terrifying. Had it been Xiao Li, the slap would have shattered his skull. However, Bing Yi’s constitution was much stronger than his. Her face didn’t even bleed.
“Courting death!” the bald giant snarled.
Starlight surged out of him as he sent his massive flying hammer hurtling forward. The flying hammer was incredibly heavy. As soon as he unleashed it, it blew a hole in the void.
BOOM!
A black halberd intercepted it—Cang Lu had appeared to block the strike.
At the same instant, Long Chen’s hand pressed against the giant’s chest. Violet light flared in the sky. The next moment, blood erupted, and a bowl-sized hole opened in the bald man’s sternum.
The wound on his back was as wide as a washbasin. While the rest of his bones were crushed, his spine was perfectly intact, laced in starlight.
“AH!” he howled and was hurled away, tumbling into the distance.
“All members of the original devil race, hear my order!” Long Chen commanded, his voice rolling like thunder. “The nine star line has torn up the old covenant. They are no longer the honorable experts from the Star Master’s era. In that case, we owe them no mercy. Today, I will not let a single one of them leave here alive!”
As Long Chen shouted, his bloodthirsty killing intent shook the heavens.
“Damn ants! Warriors of the nine star line, slaughter them! Tear their corpses to pieces and burn their souls for eternity so they can never reincarnate!” Bing Yi shouted back, her face twisting with fury.
At this moment, starlight swirled in her eyes. Eight blazing stars flared behind her, radiating world-shattering pressure.
“Kill!” Yue Xiaoqian bit back a cry and rallied their side. This had become a fight to the death; there was no room for negotiation.
BOOM!
Starlight met violet Sovereign flames. A wild power unfurled as Long Chen and Bing Yi exchanged blows.
As the astral winds ravaged this region, the two divine statues groaned under the onslaught and started to crack.
BANG!
The two statues exploded, its dust and rubble scattering. As they broke, so too did the old vow they symbolized.
“Slaughter these outsider devils!” one of the nine star heirs shouted. “They aren’t one of us, and it’s clear that they’re no good for this world!”
Killing intent filled the world. Although only a few hundred strong, all the nine star heirs were elites. Other than the one to fight Fei Shuang, the rest had already merged their Sovereign flames and entered the One Merger realm.
BOOM!
The moment one nine star heir charged over, black qi swirled around him. Cang Lu rose with Bloodfiend Wings on his back and swung his halberd through the air.
After Xiao Li’s fall, Cang Lu’s Sovereign flames had started to merge. He was now in the One Merger realm. Although he was still at its early stages, his dark energy had risen to a new plane.
“It’s just a puppet! Don’t worry, we can kill him with just a few of us!” shouted a nine star heir.
Over ten of their strongest experts immediately dove in on Cang Lu, who was a force to be reckoned with. Even surrounded, he could hold his ground.
The moment the original devil race’s experts clashed with the nine star heirs, a loud clamor rose. The sky darkened as a black divine bird blotted out the sun. Blood-colored curse qi seeped across the battlefield, and the nine star heirs recoiled as a bizarre energy gnawed at their flesh and soul.
“Careful, it’s the primal chaos species, the Cursed Spirit Blood Crow! Don’t let its curse qi invade your soul! Come, we need to kill it first!” shouted one of them.
A flying hammer flew toward the Cursed Spirit Blood Crow, coming from the same expert Long Chen had wounded earlier.
He was truly formidable, second only to Bing Yi, which was why Long Chen had targeted him first. However, Long Chen had misjudged. This man’s body was monstrously resilient, so even what amounted to a sneak attack had failed to finish him. Though there was still a hole in his chest, he forcibly suppressed his injuries and stepped forward.
The Cursed Spirit Blood Crow had once helped Yue Xiaoqian defend Devil Cloud Mountain. It had spent nearly all its core energy and slumbered in her spiritual space until Yue Xiaoqian, bolstered by her ancestor’s blessing, poured her core energy into reviving it. As their souls were connected, they could share their core energy.
However, the crow had recovered only to roughly eighty percent. By unleashing a large-scale curse, it left itself vulnerable, unable to fight or move freely.
Seeing this, Yue Xiaoqian moved to intercept the hammer. After all, the Cursed Spirit Blood Crow’s curses were their trump cards. They could not let it die. Without it, there was no way the original devil race could fight the nine star heirs.
However, before she could reach the weapon, lightning streaked across the air—Lei Linger had appeared.
With a lightning rune in hand, she tapped the hammer. It then flew back with an explosive crack, and Lei Linger was shoved only a few steps.
“The One Merger realm?!”
Startled cries rang out. Everyone quickly realized that this young maiden was not human but a spiritual body.
Lei Linger shouted, “You’ve really angered and disappointed Big Brother Long Chen. You deserve death!”
Lei Linger summoned a lightning sword in the right hand. She touched the blade with her other hand, and the divine light instantly retracted into the weapon. A sharp killing intent locked onto the man with the flying hammer.
