Chapter 694: 694

“Come out . After watching for so long, are you planning on passing the entire night here?” Long Chen said suddenly .

Clapping sounds rang out in the night sky, and Huo Wufang walked out with an admiring expression .

“Long San, you really surprise me . ”

Long Chen wasn’t at all surprised to see Huo Wufang . He smiled . “Perhaps I’ll make you even more surprised . I don’t understand, why would you intentionally have me kill them?”

Long Chen truly didn’t understand . He had sensed that someone was watching him during this battle . But he didn’t know how this was beneficial to Huo Wufang .

“That’s because my Huo family wants to stabilize our foundation . Once these Celestials die, the powers they belong to will have to completely rely on my Huo family to survive . Once this matter is over, my Huo family will greatly support those powers, helping them to rapidly rise . We’ll turn them into my family’s most loyal dogs .

“This will show those opportunists that sway whichever way the wind blows just how stupid they were . My Huo family will help these sects by giving them the finest medicinal pills, allowing them to give birth to even more Celestials .

“This is also a reflection of strength . Even if a group of people dies, as long as you have resources, you can raise a new batch .

“But loyalty is much more difficult to obtain . We’ll use this opportunity to raise our most loyal subordinates . Now you should understand,” sneered Huo Wufang .

“This logic really is something only you idiots would think of . And only those idiots from the Corrupt path would accompany you with that . You really are a group of marvels with marvelous logic . But I don’t have any interest in this logic . I just want to know, what’s your goal here?” Long Chen shook his head .

“To kill you . ” Huo Wufang smiled .

“Oh?”

“Do you know? Last time when you took away Hua Biluo, I already wanted to kill you . But at that time, my body was very uncomfortable-”

“What? Were you menstruating?”

Huo Wufang’s expression darkened . “Long San, your mouth really is detestable . In a bit, I’ll directly tear that mouth into pieces . Last time, the reason I didn’t fight with you was because I hadn’t completely adapted to my new bones . But I finally completed that process today . So, I’ll be returning the humiliation you’ve given me a hundred times to you . ”

“I see, I see . So that was the case . It seems you’re very confident in your new bones,” said Long Chen .

“Hahaha!” Huo Wufang suddenly raised his head and laughed madly . “Did you know? For these bones, my Huo family spent over half of the savings we built up over thousands of years .

“Now that this matter has reached this point, there’s no need for me to conceal anything anymore . I’ll tell you the truth . These bones of mine were from a rank two Celestial!”

“A rank two Celestial?” Now Long Chen was a bit surprised .

“Correct . This skeleton is something my Huo family spent a huge price to buy from the Central Plains’ Corrupt path . The original owner was a powerful Righteous Celestial, and he had even been a terrifying body cultivator . Most importantly, the Corrupt path sealed that Celestial’s Heavenly Dao runes into his skeleton . And so…”

BOOM!

A powerful pressure erupted from Huo Wufang’s body . That terrifying force surged out in waves, spreading in every direction .

At the same time, endless Heavenly Dao runes appeared behind Huo Wufang, dashing in the sky . Long Chen noticed something different about them .

For ordinary Celestials, they only had one kind of Heavenly Dao rune . But Huo Wufang had two kinds of Heavenly Dao runes that interweaved behind him .

As those two kinds of Heavenly Dao runes appeared, the ground beneath Huo Wufang’s feet began to crack . Long Chen was actually forced back dozens of meters by this powerful aura .

“This is a rank two Celestial? He has two types of runes interweaving to complement each other . How powerful!” This was Long Chen’s first time seeing such a powerful Cry of the Heavenly Daos .

Despite having activated the Nirvana Scripture, Long Chen still felt a heavy suppression . It felt like a boulder was crushing his heart, and it was extremely uncomfortable .

“Hahahaha, your current expression is really wonderful! Do you feel shocked? Helplessness? Despair?” Huo Wufang laughed heartily, his laughter filled with delight .

“Shock? A bit . Helplessness? I’ve never hoped to get any help from anyone . As for despair? Hehe, sorry, even in front of something impossible to resist, I don’t feel despair . As for you? Hehe, you’re greatly lacking,” sneered Long Chen .

Just by this aura, it was clear a rank two Celestial was much stronger . This aura was ten times greater than a rank one Celestial . But as for getting Long Chen to feel despair in front of this level, was that a joke? Even in front of heavenly tribulations, Long Chen hadn’t felt despair . How could he feel despair because of a person, especially one that he had easily beaten before?

Huo Wufang raised his arms . Rumbling filled the air as the runes behind him began to tremble . His aura soared to its peak state, and he suddenly shot toward Long Chen .

“Let’s see just how strong you are . ” Long Chen smiled . If it were yesterday, perhaps he wouldn’t feel confident facing a rank two Celestial . But right now, Long Chen felt no fear .

BOOM!

Long Chen met Huo Wufang’s fist with his own, one covered in thunderforce . This was an exchange with no fanciness, purely a collision of power .

One was someone who had merged with a rank two Celestial’s skeleton, the other was someone who had just condensed the Enlightenment Palace Star’s cyclone .

The land trembled and shattered . This berserk energy formed a huge domain . If someone were to look from the sky, they would see a spherical domain rapidly growing, covering everything within a thousand miles .

It was like the apocalypse had come . The entire ground was sinking . It was fortunate that Long Chen had rushed far enough away enough and there was no one else present . Otherwise, even Xiantian experts would immediately be blown to pieces by the shockwaves .

But even if there was no one present, the landscape was enough to show their power . The surrounding mountains shattered and the terrain had completely transformed . The place they were standing over was rapidly subsiding .

The two of them were both shocked by the other’s strength . They poured in all their energy, wanting to suppress their opponent .

As the ground beneath them sank, the surrounding ground actually began to rise, forming a huge basin with the two of them at the core .

Furthermore, this basin was growing deeper as the two of them increased their power . In just a few breaths, it was already hundreds of miles deep .

Suddenly, the two of them stopped descending . They had gotten so low that they had run into a certain kind of rock . That rock instantly burst upon being struck by their force .

Following that rock’s shattering, lava erupted . A terrifying heat enveloped the two of them .

The lava incessantly spurted out, quickly filling the basin . But the creators of the basin had already disappeared .

Two figures wrapped in flames shot out of the lava, soaring into the sky .

Huo Wufang’s Heavenly Dao runes had formed two wings behind him, allowing him to fly in the sky .

As for Long Chen, flame runes rapidly condensed behind him forming a pair of thirty-meter wings .

With those raging flame wings, Long Chen looked just like a flame god . He seemed incomparably domineering .

“Flamecloud Wings!” Huo Wufang’s expression became slightly envious . He had once trained in the Flamecloud Wings, but his Spiritual Strength hadn’t been enough to keep up with the exhaustion of using it .

Not only was Long San’s alchemy talent greater than his, but his Spiritual Strength was also miles ahead . Now, he had already merged with a rank two Celestial’s bones, but he was still unable to suppress him . That made him go almost crazy .

“DIE!” The more Huo Wufang thought about it, the more furious he became . His wings suddenly trembled, and he shot forward at Long Chen . His fist became covered in runes .

BOOM!

Long Chen hastily blocked . He didn’t know what magical art Huo Wufang had used, but Long Chen was smashed back hundreds of meters away .

Huo Wufang continued pressing his advantage, another fist coming for Long Chen .

“This fist is strange . ” Long Chen’s heart shook . He changed his fist into a palm, using technique instead of brute strength . Slamming his palm into Huo Wufang’s wrist, he forced his attack to miss .

Originally, Long Chen had been planning on giving Huo Wufang a vicious kick to his abdomen to injure him .

But when he saw Huo Wufang’s sinister and tray-shaped face, he instinctively swung out his hand, sending him flying with a slap .

As soon as he did that, Long Chen felt regret . This was truly an occupational disease . What was the point of slapping him now? It didn’t hurt him . It would have been so much more beneficial to kick him in the crotch!

“Long San!”

While Long Chen felt regret, Huo Wufang went crazy with rage . Only one person had slapped him in his life, and that had been incredibly shameful to him . Later, that person had died in the chaos region and he had forgotten that humiliation . But now, this slap immediately sparked that old fury of his .

With a furious roar, his wings trembled and his body became covered in runes . It was as if he was wearing runic armor as he shot at Long Chen .

BOOM!

Long Chen was shocked . Now that Huo Wufang had summoned this runic armor, his strength had grown explosively . Long Chen was sent flying, and a burst of pain came from his arm . His bones had been broken .

Consecutive explosive sounds rang out . Long Chen was forced back repeatedly by Huo Wufang . This was his first time fighting someone with such terrifying strength .

BOOM!

Long Chen was once more sent flying . These repeated exchanges made Long Chen feel like his entire skeleton was about to shatter . Huo Wufang’s bones were truly too hard .

What Long Chen didn’t know was that Huo Wufang was using a powerful Battle Skill, the strongest Battle Skill the original owner of his skeleton had trained in . Back when this skeleton had been merged into Huo Wufang, its master’s soul had also been merged into it . That was so he could obtain all the Battle Skills he had possessed .

Then during the finals of the Pill Emperor Competition, Huo Wufang had sacrificed that soul . At that time, he had already absorbed all that soul’s useful memories, so it had been useless to him .

Furthermore, this skeleton’s master had been a body cultivator . All his life’s cultivation had been focused on his bones . So after merging with this skeleton, Huo Wufang had gained at least eighty percent of its original master’s combat strength .

“Long San, you can die now!” Huo Wufang’s face was twisted in a sinister expression . It seemed like he wanted to viciously bite Long Chen to death .

Long Chen sighed . “Fine, I admit that fighting as an alchemist is too sullen . I’ll change back to my old profession . Divine ring!”
