Chapter 6937 Li Wujiu’s Trump Card
As the two ancient trees appeared, flames shot up into the sky. Everyone was stunned. Although they had never seen the Fusang Tree or Moon Tree, they knew the legends. When the Golden Crows and Jade Rabbits appeared, bringing their powerful flames, everyone’s suspicions were confirmed.
The experts from the Painting Sect exclaimed in outrage, “How is this possible? How could Long Chen’s flame spirit possess the legendary Fusang Trees and Moon Trees?!”
Ling Yan and the others gritted their teeth, feeling on the verge of losing control. Long Chen was not only incredibly strong, but he also had so many trump cards.
Chi Yutong, Xin Yu, and the others were just as surprised. They thought they already understood Long Chen’s strength, but they were wrong.
The Golden Crows soared through the sky while the Jade Rabbits raced across the ground. The Moon Flame and Sun Flame combined, creating a huge ring that crushed everything in its path. The skeletons were wiped out.
Outside the ring of flames, Jing Jing attacked the skeletons with a clumsy divine skill. Her attacks weren’t very effective, but she was in no danger.
Meanwhile, Lei Linger kept defeating skeletons with her lightning spear. Wherever she went, the skeletons fell.
Lei Linger was unstoppable, though her attack range was smaller than Huo Linger’s. Lightning runes flashed on her spear, making it incredibly powerful. One special rune at the tip could even break through the laws of the Grand Dao.
Lei Linger used this battle as practice. She was specifically targeting the strongest skeletons.
Furthermore, she attacked their toughest spots to test her own strength.
Seeing Lei Linger defeat them so easily, Long Chen almost regretted summoning them all at once. It was an overkill.
Perhaps it would have been better to let Zhi Zhi and Jing Jing handle them. He had revealed Lei Linger and Huo Linger’s abilities for no real reason.
Even as the skeletons fell and their bodies piled up, more kept coming out of the spatial gate.
While looking at Li Wujiu’s gloomy face, Long Chen said, “Li Wujiu, you know I have three bloodline powers and astral energy. I’ve already used two, so you wanted to use this skeleton army to wear me down before finishing me off.
“I have had some frictions with the Painting Sect, but we’re not mortal enemies. Judging by your expression, it pains you to use these trump cards. You’re willing to pay a high price to kill me, so there must be a reason.”
Li Wujiu just glared at him with a dark look. No one could tell what he was thinking, and he stayed silent.
Long Chen continued, “I have a lot of enemies, so much that they can fill the nine heavens and ten lands. But only a few could make one of the four immemorial sects follow their orders. Out of those few, the Brahma line hates me the most. No one knew when I would arrive at the Calligraphy Sect, so this meeting was by chance. That means you were told long ago to kill me at any cost. This is your chance to earn merit, which is why you keep provoking me and trying to fight me. Am I right?”
Everyone was shocked by this. They glanced at Ling Yan and the others, who tried to stay calm, but their faces were colder than before.
“The Painting Sect obeys the Brahma line’s orders?!”
Chi Yutong, Xin Yu, and Yan Li were stunned. The four ancient sects had always been independent, and the Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture was out of Lord Brahma’s reach. Had the Painting Sect really joined the Brahma line?
If that were true, it would be huge news. The Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture was an alliance of gods, and they were united against Lord Brahma for years. Anyone caught working with the Brahma line would be seen as a traitor.
“You’re talking nonsense! My Painting Sect is one of the four ancient sects! How could we take orders from anyone else?!” Li Wujiu shouted, but there was a hint of panic in his voice.
Long Chen looked at the furious Li Wujiu and nodded.
“I didn’t expect to actually guess right!”
Li Wujiu instantly realized that he had been conned. “You—”
Long Chen continued, “You’re strong, but you won’t use your real power. You’d rather use up these valuable trump cards than reveal your true strength. That means you don’t want to, or maybe you’re afraid to show what you can really do!
“You came to the Calligraphy Sect to test out their power. When Brother Chenggang revealed his manifestation, you gave up right away. That means your goal is to see Brother Chenggang’s foundation. There was no reason to keep fighting, since losing a genius wouldn’t be worth it.
“In that case, let me make another guess. Brother Chenggang hid his essence rune among many divine runes in his bamboo slip. He was sure that as long as he didn’t use it, no one could tell which one it was. So, you got what you wanted when you found out his essence rune was hidden in that bamboo slip.”
Li Chenggang was surprised. Now he understood what Long Chen meant.
“Since you’ve already tested Brother Chenggang’s strength, it’s my turn to test yours!” Long Chen exclaimed.
Dragon scales spread over Long Chen’s body as a mighty dragon cry echoed. His divine ring appeared, and a huge dragon surged inside it. Powerful dragon energy filled the air.
Long Chen rushed straight into the crowd of skeletons. He didn’t stop until he reached Li Wujiu and reached out his hand.
“Divine Dragon Scout Claw!”
When a giant dragon claw manifested, Li Wujiu was shocked to find that he couldn’t move. The space surrounding him was frozen.
Looking at Long Chen again, he realized a golden crown had somehow appeared on Long Chen’s head.
“The Sovereign King Dragon Crown!”
Everyone was shocked, but the senior generation was particularly stunned. They recognized this legendary sacred object of the dragon race. Even the martial stage shuddered under this dragon might.
Long Chen didn’t bother concealing his power. He directly summoned the Sovereign King Dragon Crown, crushing Li Wujiu with brute force.
“Double Peak Reincarnation Shield!” Li Wujiu roared.
When bloody lines appeared in his black-and-white eyes, he finally managed to move. The next moment, he slammed his hands together to form a seal, and a black-and-white shield appeared in front of him.
BOOM!
The dragon claw struck the shield, blowing it into smithereens.
Li Wujiu spat out blood, but the dragon claw did not even pause, continuing toward him. If it caught him, he would definitely be wiped out of existence.
Thanks to the Sovereign King Dragon Crown, Long Chen’s dragon blood power had reached an unprecedented height.
BOOM!
As everyone watched in shock, the dragon claw closed around Li Wujiu. Just when it seemed he would be crushed, the claw suddenly exploded.
A divine rune shone as brightly as the sun, giving off light so intense that no one could keep their eyes open.
When their eyes adjusted, they saw Li Wujiu glowing with divine light. A strange rune flashed on his forehead.
A divine diagram appeared behind him. When sect master Liuyun and the others saw it, their faces changed completely.
“The Brahma Divine Diagram!”
