Chapter 529: 529

“This is Xiantian power? It’s not that powerful . ”

A metallic monstrosity blocked the mid Xiantian expert . Guo Ran’s hand tightly clenched his blade .

His golden armor was incomparably eye-catching . This was newly constructed, and it was over a hundred times stronger than his old one . It was his best masterpiece .

Guo Ran turned his wrist, and that blade actually snapped, shocking everyone .

“Trash . ”

He threw the blade to the side and punched the Xiantian expert . It was unknown whether he was talking about the weapon or the wielder .

That Xiantian expert had never seen such a metal monstrosity, and he hastily raised his severed blade to block .

BOOM!

The ground beneath Guo Ran’s feet crumbled, but the Xiantian expert was blown back .

“Senior apprentice-brother Guo Ran is mighty!”

Seeing Guo Ran blow back a Xiantian expert raised the morale of all the Dragonblood warriors . In his golden armor, Guo Ran truly did appear impressive .

But before Guo Ran could do anything, another Xiantian expert charged at him with a battlehammer .

Guo Ran hastily raised his arms to block . The impact of the attacker’s blow caused a huge ripple which blew back all the surrounding people .

“Hmph, let me see how many of my attacks you can block!” The Corrupt elder was a brute strength fighter, and this one attack made Guo Ran’s body tingle all over . He didn’t dare to be careless, and a golden saber appeared in his hand as he fought . The two were evenly matched .

All the other Xiantian experts also charged their way into the midst of the Dragonblood Legion . They had already realized each of them had to have undergone complete tempering . They were far, far stronger than ordinary Meridian Opening experts . They definitely couldn’t allow them to grow, or the Corrupt path would never be able to rest peacefully .

Complete tempering required piling endless resources to create a genius . Having one person undergo complete tempering could bankrupt a medium-sized sect .

For over three hundred people to undergo it at the same time was unbelievable . Their best option was to take advantage of this time before they had matured and kill them all .

“Heaven’s Soul Annihilates the Void . ”

Meng Qi hastily formed hand seals upon seeing several Xiantian experts charge at the Dragonblood Legion . A bright illusory figure charged at a dozen of them .

“Careful, it’s a soul cultivator!”

The emaciated elder standing on the pagoda let out a startled cry, but it was too late . Only two of Xiantian experts had a barrier of light appear over them to protect from Meng Qi’s attack .

As for the remaining ones, they silently fell to the ground . At the same time, their spiritual fluctuations disappeared .

“Fuck, kill that woman!”

That elder finally couldn’t endure it anymore and flashed into motion, charging at Meng Qi .

Previously, when Meng Qi had killed that Meridian Opening disciple at the beginning, he hadn’t been paying attention and hadn’t noticed how he had died .

But now that Meng Qi had shown her skills again, he was filled with panic, and his metal cane smashed down on her with endless Xiantian power .

Meng Qi felt an arm wrap around her, and she was suddenly flying through the air . It was Long Chen who had flung her up, and at the same time, his saber slashed down .

BOOM!

A terrifying qi wave exploded, and whether it was the Dragonblood warriors or the Corrupt experts, they were all blown away . The surrounding buildings completely crumbled .

“Everyone, form into your squads and split up . Don’t let a single one of our enemies escape!” ordered Long Chen .

Following his orders, the three hundred and sixty members of the Dragonblood Legion, other than a few who continued to cut down the remaining few Meridian Opening experts, charged at the Xiantian experts .

The Dragonblood warriors had already turned red-eyed . Other than Gu Yang, Yue Zifeng, Song Mingyuan, and Li Qi, they were all just ordinary disciples . They hadn’t even had the qualifications to enter the Jiuli secret realm .

But they, who could only be considered as absolutely ordinary within the monasteries and supermonastery, had their fates completely changed because of one choice . They had gone from ordinary disciples to geniuses capable of slaughtering anyone in the same realm as easily as cutting through melons . Now, they were capable of battling against Xiantian experts while in the Meridian Opening realm . What kind of glory and pride was that?

Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er summoned their Violet Phoenix Sparrows, flying up into the sky, looking over the entire battlefield . Long Chen had handed them the task of protecting everyone .

Right now, the Dragonblood Legion could be considered a sharp blade, but they were still rough around the edges . They needed more training and sculpting . As they were only just starting out, they had to be protected so that there were no losses .

Meng Qi would occasionally use spiritual attacks, while Tang Wan-er had countless wind blades circulating around her, ready to take action at any moment .

Although the two of them hadn’t broken through to Meridian Opening, their attacks were both very special . As a soul cultivator, Meng Qi’s spiritual attacks were something that could kill even Xiantian experts if they didn’t have soul items to protect themselves .

Furthermore, having absorbed Long Chen’s spiritual seed, her Spiritual Strength had grown a hundred times stronger than before . Her attacks were incredibly powerful .

As for Tang Wan-er, with the assistance of the Wind Spirit Crystal, her comprehension over wind energy had undergone a heaven-toppling transformation . Her attacks were incredibly sharp, so sharp that they even shocked Long Chen .

It was only because of their protection that Long Chen dared allow the Dragonblood warriors to go all-out .

“Go die, Long Chen!” The Corrupt elder roared furiously, his aura erupting and causing heaven and earth to tremble . He had reached the late Xiantian realm .

He was finally completely infuriated . The Meridian Opening disciples he had brought had been completely exterminated, and even half of the Xiantian experts had died . But Long Chen was still alive and well . That result was unacceptable .

The cane in his hand suddenly blossomed with light, and countless runes appeared . A garish light lit up the void .

“Fuck, this old bastard is using Xiantian power to activate his Xiantian weapon!” Long Chen’s expression completely changed .

Long Chen had also finished complete tempering, and his cultivation base had reached the twelfth Heavenstage of Bone Forging . He was just a single step from Meridian Opening .

This was the fastest he had advanced since he had started cultivating . With his current strength, he had no fear towards Xiantian experts when it came to physical strength .

But if they used Xiantian power to activate a Xiantian weapon, then that power was practically apocalyptic . That power would destroy the entire monastery, and he had no confidence in being able to block it . Even if he could receive it, the others would still be blown to bits .

“Idiot, you don’t care about the others’ lives?” raged Long Chen .

“Hehe, as long as you die, it’s fine . For that many complete-tempering disciples to accompany you, you’ll definitely be happy within the nine springs . ” The elder laughed sinisterly .

“Hey, wait a sec . In truth, the only thing between us is some misunderstandings . There’s no need to fight and kill . ” Long Chen suddenly forced a smile .

“Tch, don’t bother trying to stall for time . Just die!”

The runes on his cane lit up even more intensely, and a terrifying pressure shot out . A scarlet light formed a resonance with heaven and earth .

The Corrupt elder had already locked Long Chen firmly in place . When the light on his cane reached a peak, he smashed it on Long Chen .

“Die!”

“The one to die is you!” exclaimed Long Chen .

Suddenly, a golden petal pierced through his back and come out of his forehead, bringing with it a splash of blood .

“What’s going on?”

The Corrupt elder’s cane gradually dimmed . At the same time, his Spiritual Strength faded .

He fell to the ground, his eyes unfocused . Even in his death, he still didn’t understand how he had died .

“I really have to thank you, Meng Qi,” Long Chen couldn’t help muttering as he glanced up at Meng Qi who was up in the sky forming hand seals .

Just now, Long Chen really had begun to sweat . His power increase had clouded his mind . He might not be afraid of Xiantian power, and he also didn’t need to be afraid of just Xiantian weapons .

But he had forgotten one important detail: Xiantian weapons could only fully release their power with Xiantian power .

If he had really allowed his attack to go through, then perhaps he could have kept himself alive, but everyone else here would have been killed .

It was only thanks to Meng Qi noticing he had been in danger . She had stealthily sent out one of the jade petals of the soul item Guo Ran had made for her . That petal was incomparably sharp, capable of cutting through metal like tofu .

Long Chen had noticed that, and he had hastily drawn the Corrupt elder’s attention . As a result, he had been completely focused on activating his Xiantian weapon and hadn’t noticed the fatal danger silently approaching him .

For a late Xiantian expert to die without even knowing how was truly sad, but Long Chen wouldn’t bother giving him an explanation .

“Brothers, put in some more effort . Once you finish killing them, we can continue drinking!” Long Chen walked to the front with his saber on his shoulder .

Now, whether it was the disciples or Elders, they were all dumbfounded . A late Xiantian expert had been killed just like that?

Suddenly, Long Chen’s expression changed and he stamped on the ground, jumping backward .

A sword appeared out of nowhere and cut through the robes on his chest . If he had been a hair slower, that sword would have pierced his heart .

After the sword appeared, a figure showed up . That figure then twisted and suddenly fled into the distance .

“Since you’ve come, then don’t leave . ”

Long Chen snorted and pointed out a finger . A bolt of lightning shot out .

But he was surprised to see that the figure suddenly twisted when he attacked, appearing dozens of meters away . Before Long Chen could attack again, he had already disappeared .

That speed was so fast that it outraged people . Long Chen glanced towards his chest and his broken robes, when his sword suddenly slashed to the side .

“Don’t use the same move against me twice . ”

Blood splashed, and a figure appeared out of nowhere, one that was cut in two by Long Chen’s saber .
