Chapter 6875 Sinister Trick
The man emerging from the black chariot let out a furious roar.
“Chi Yutong!!!”
Just then, a two-winged flying serpent tore through space, with a black-robed elder standing on its head.
“It’s the Blacksand Hall!” Yan Li exclaimed, startled as he recognized the other side’s status from the flying serpent.
Blacksand Hall was well-known in the Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture. Its status matched that of the Flame God Sect, and it had grown significantly in recent years. Now, it was one of the top first-rate sects.
“That is Tang Lun, the master of Blacksand Hall!" Xin Yu sneered. “Yutong, let's go. We’ll see if we can handle a half-step double manifestation Divine Sovereign!”
“Count me in as well!” Yan Li exclaimed, his hands itching.
Although Yan Li had made a spectacle of himself in the battle against the Soul Refining Sect, and Long Chen didn't say a word about it, he knew Long Chen wasn't pleased with his performance. Now that Yan Li had recovered, he kept replaying that battle in his mind. Having learned a few tricks, he wanted to show off in front of his boss.
In reality, Chi Yutong felt even more tempted than everyone else. Throughout this journey, she had been listening to Xin Yu boast about her recent breakthroughs and how incredible she was. In truth, Chi Yutong had made the greatest progress during this period.
Having faced over a thousand death experiences, she had gained insights that had once been beyond her understanding. Yet, unlike Xin Yu, Chi Yutong knew how to restrain herself and keep her strength hidden. She wouldn’t openly flaunt her power in front of everyone.
Now that she encountered the despicable fellow who had secretly caused many losses to the Flame God Sect, her battle intent blazed.
“Chi Yunfeng, my son Tang Xun was just greeting you! How dare you go this far?! Today, you must give me an explanation!” demanded the hall master of the Blacksand Hall.
Tang Lun didn’t blame Chi Yutong because doing so would lower his status. Instead, he directly challenged Chi Yunfeng.
Chi Yunfeng looked at him with a faintly sinister smile and said, “I can’t be bothered to waste my time arguing with you. If I didn’t have other things to attend to, you wouldn’t be leaving here alive. Scram!"
With a single “scram,” Chi Yunfeng released a sound wave that tore through the world. It was infused with law power.
That sound wave sent Tang Lun and his mount flying directly. Blood sprayed from his mouth as he stared at Chi Yunfeng in shock.
“Double manifestation Divine Sovereign?! Impossible!”
Tang Lun couldn’t believe it. Chi Yunfeng had actually advanced? Otherwise, he couldn’t possibly wield such immense law power. He managed to suppress Tang Lun—a half-step double manifestation Divine Sovereign—to the point where the latter couldn’t move.
“Your Blacksand Hall owes my Flame God Sect multiple debts. Don’t worry, I’ve kept track of all of them. Just wait, once I finish here, I’ll ensure you settle all these debts!” Chi Yunfeng snorted.
He flew away, and Chi Yutong followed him with the Scarlet Blood Battle Chariot. The hall master didn’t dare to stop them.
“Dad, how is this possible? Is he really a double manifestation Divine Sovereign? What do we do now?” Tang Xun asked as he wretchedly walked over.
The impact just now was truly fierce. Chi Yutong’s battle chariot was on par with a true Heavenly Sovereign divine weapon, while Tang Xun’s was only a Divine Sovereign magical item. In truth, he didn’t dare to actually crash into the Scarlet Blood War Chariot because he knew he would be at a disadvantage. He was just trying to scare Chi Yutong.
Neither of them knew that the Flame God Sect had completely transformed.
“Don’t worry, our patriarch is also a Divine Sovereign with double manifestation. Also, our loyal ally, the Deep Earth Sect, has three double manifestation Divine Sovereigns. Destroying the Flame God Sect is as easy as crushing an ant. I haven’t even counted the support of the Zither Sect,” Tang Lun said through gritted teeth.
“But the Deep Earth Sect wanted us to test out Long Chen’s power, and we failed... We didn’t even see him...”
“It’s fine. Send word back to the Deep Earth Sect that Chi Yunfeng has broken through to a double manifestation Divine Sovereign and is supporting Long Chen. That should be enough to satisfy the Deep Earth Sect. They can’t hold us responsible,” said Tang Lun.
After that, they led their own group onward, heading in the same direction as Long Chen and the others.
They had been lying in wait here for a while, only pretending to run into Long Chen and the others by accident. They were on a mission assigned by the Deep Earth Sect, but unfortunately, they failed.
...
The Scarlet Blood Battle Chariot was flying at a steady pace. After all, there was still plenty of time. They should arrive just in time. If they arrived too early, people would think that Long Chen was nervous.
“Tch, the Deep Earth Sect is full of despicable people. They have ordered the Blacksand Hall to provoke us and test out Long Chen’s power!” grumbled Xin Yu.
Within the Scarlet Blood Battle Chariot, Xin Yu slowly undid her hand seals with a scornful expression.
She had used one of her spirit heart arts to spy on Tang Lun. That was a powerful ability from her sect. Tang Lun was completely unaware that their conversation was being eavesdropped on.
“Long Chen, what are you smiling about? That guy is so despicable, you can’t be careless! His shamelessness surpasses your imagination!” warned Xin Yu.
Long Chen shook his head. “These games only prove that he lacks confidence in his own power. What is there to be nervous about against an opponent who has no confidence? Let me tell you something one of my seniors once told me: in front of absolute power, schemes are all useless."
“You can’t say it like that. Based on what we know, several very powerful beings have died at his hands. Moreover, they all showed greater strength than him, yet still died. Don’t be fooled by that idiot’s appearance,” Xin Yu replied.
“Actually, Tang Xun had a lightning talisman in his hand. If my senses are correct, it should have been made by a double manifestation Divine Sovereign. He wasn’t here to test my power; he was here to kill me,” said Long Chen.
“A lightning talisman made by a double manifestation Divine Sovereign?!”
All three of them were shocked.
With a smile, Long Chen explained, “That indicates Yan Sheng has learned who I am within these seven days. The Deep Earth Sect deceived Tang Lun. Activating that lightning talisman would surely kill his son, and then he would launch a suicidal attack to kill me. Even if I survived, injuring me would give that fatty more chances.”
Xin Yu raged, “Those fuckers! That damn fatty, he’s really evil!”
“Hey, you’re a divine daughter. You shouldn’t curse like that,” said Long Chen.
Only then did Xin Yu notice her lack of decorum, but she still grumbled, “He’s just too evil. He’s worse than an animal. Long Chen, how are you not angry?”
“Is there a point to being angry with a dead man?”
“Boss, if he’s going to fight like this, we should respond in kind! You stay here, and I’ll head to Broken Heaven Mountain first to ambush him!” Yan Li exclaimed, clenching his fists.
Long Chen shook his head.
“Just focus on your cultivation. Don’t waste your precious energy on these useless things.”
Hearing this, Chi Yutong decided to play it safe and sped up. However, they no longer faced any obstacles on their way.
It wasn’t long before a giant tear appeared in the sky, along with an endless wasteland.
It was the Broken Heaven Mountain.
Seeing the figures in the distance, Xin Yu immediately ground her teeth.
“Damn, they got here early!”
