Chapter 919 Sneak Attack

The light from Xue You’s third eye enveloped Long Chen . Space froze around him, and the others didn’t even hesitate to attack .

Xue You’s third eye was an innate corrupt eye . It possessed mystical powers, and one of those was spatial locking power . Although its effect only lasted for a moment, it was easy to kill experts within that moment .

There was no time to think . They all launched attacks at their greatest speed . Even if they weren’t their ultimate attacks, they could still kill Long Chen instantly with all of them combined .

“Divine ring!”

BOOM!

A three-thousand-meter divine ring appeared, its four colors revolving . The locking power around Long Chen blew apart . At the same time, a terrifying qi wave sent all the people charging at him flying .

A drop of blood leaked from Xue You’s third eye . Long Chen’s divine ring had actually injured his Corrupt Pupil .

Long Chen’s body suddenly moved . Like a bolt of lightning, he appeared in front of one of the ancient race peak experts . He was the one closest to him .

That person immediately felt a chill . It was like a wild lion had set its gaze upon him . Even the companions around him didn’t provide him the slightest feeling of safety .

Clenching his teeth, his Blood Qi suddenly erupted . The runes around him became blood-colored, and a strange diagram appeared behind him . His aura erupted like a volcano .

BOOM! Long Chen’s saber slashed down on his weapon . Although they were in the air, the shockwaves spread in every direction, shattering the ground . Quite a few people were instantly killed by the shockwaves .

The ancient race expert was smashed into the ground, leaving a deep hole . But Long Chen was startled to see that this person merely coughed up a mouthful of blood .

He was surprised to see this person could receive an attack from him now that he had summoned his divine ring . But the others were even more shocked . This peak expert had activated the might of his Spirit Blood to obtain power beyond his limits but still had been injured .

Xue You and the others finally became fully aware that Long Chen’s power far surpassed their expectations .

In the beginning, everyone had been trying to preserve their strength and trump cards for the upcoming battle after they killed Long Chen . At that moment, it would be time to split the spoils . But now seeing that this peak expert had turned into his current state even after the support of his Spirit Blood, they recognized the cruel reality . Trying to be clever would make them pay a terrible price .

“Whoever keeps holding back will be attacked by everyone else after the battle is over!” said Xue You . He activated his Spirit Blood, which was his ancestors’ bloodline blessing . It was an extremely miraculous and precious energy .

The whole reason why they were able to become peak existences amongst rank four Celestials was because of their density of Spirit Blood . It far surpassed the other rank four Celestials, allowing Xue You and the other to suppress them .

Now that they had all activated their Spirit Blood’s power, the runes around them turned blood-colored . An invisible energy was gathering toward them, causing a loud rumbling .

Xue You’s sword was the first to slash toward Long Chen . An indescribable energy was contained within this sword that made it terrifying to the peak .

BOOM! When Long Chen blocked with his saber, he was knocked back several steps . As expected, the support of Spirit Blood was extremely powerful . Even with his divine ring, he was knocked back .

On the other hand, even with his Spirit Blood, Xue You felt Long Chen’s power to be the truly terrifying thing . He was blown back dozens of meters before stabilizing .

Ji Changkong, Yu Changhao, Ka Wutu, and the other peak experts all released their full power with Xue You taking the lead . With six peak experts going all-out, their combat power was heaven-shaking .

Up in the air, Long Chen fought against six peak experts . The void was constantly shaking due to their power .

The battlefield was now split into three sections . Long Chen’s battle was at the center . Then there was Meng Qi and the others fighting the rank four Celestials . And the third battle was even further away but involved many more people . The Corrupt path, Righteous path, and ancient race experts were fighting against the aboriginals, three Earth Dragons, and one Redeye Sacred Blood Phoenix .

The four Magical Beasts were extremely powerful, and quite a few experts had to be used to keep them back . That allowed the aboriginals to take advantage .

Added together, the Righteous path, Corrupt path, and the ancient races had originally possessed over seventy thousand experts . But because of Meng Qi and Guo Ran’s ultimate attacks, as well as the powerful attacks of the Magical Beasts, they were down to less than sixty thousand .

In truth, a portion of that loss wasn’t just due to deaths . Some had fled . Of course, those people were from the Righteous path .

One reason was because they were just too weak . Rank one Celestials were no different than cannon fodder in a battle on this level . A shockwave from any random blow might kill them .

Previously, they had thought that by cheering for Ji Changkong, they could form friendly ties with him, and through that, elevate their status .

But now, the situation was rapidly changing and getting out of control . Even while facing the Corrupt path, Righteous path, and ancient races’ peak experts, Long Chen was still able to fight . That combat power terrified them .

They even regretted that they had overestimated Ji Changkong . Their decision to invest in a relationship with him had been too brash . Now, their best decision was to retreat with their lives while they could .

The Righteous path had originally numbered over thirty thousand . After a portion had died, a greater portion had stealthily slipped away . Now, the ones remaining were less than ten thousand .

And these people remaining were just cheering loudly without putting in any work . They managed to make themselves sound loud and brave, but to maintain a safe distance, they only launched long-distance attacks .

Those kinds of attacks were nothing more than itches, because they were afraid of making their enemies angry and being attacked .

In any case, the Corrupt path and ancient race experts were the true fighters that fought to the death . The Righteous path’s experts all excelled in cheering while doing nothing, giving a new meaning to the word useless .

Now the aboriginals possessed greater numbers and greater individual power . While the situation wasn’t set in stone yet, their advantage was growing greater and greater .

Tang Wan-er and the others were surrounding Meng Qi, guarding her while she used the Soul Suppressing Tower to help defend everyone else . At the same time, she occasionally activated her Treasure items to launch attacks .

Meng Qi was the one who possessed the most Treasure items currently . She had bracelets, rings, and earrings . In fact, even her shoes were Treasure items . The majority of them were energy-storage Treasure items .

Activating them to launch an attack didn’t require any of her own spiritual yuan . The most terrifying aspect of these energy-storage Treasure items was their ability to launch instantaneous attacks .

Of everyone present, Meng Qi was the only one not skilled in close-range combat . In order to make sure that Meng Qi could protect herself, Long Chen had spent the most on her, giving her over ten energy-storage Treasure items . One reason was because Meng Qi needed them the most, but the other reason was only someone with vast soul energy like her could precisely control so many Treasure items .

Meng Qi, Tang Wan-er, Gu Yang, and Yue Zifeng were working together as a unit . The rank four Celestials were all blocked by them, and they were all exhausting a great deal of their soul energy to maintain their soul items . That was to prevent Meng Qi from killing them in one-shot with a spiritual attack .

That was the terror of soul cultivators . Without a soul item protecting a person, then there was the constant danger of being killed in one attack . Not every expert possessed such powerful Spiritual Strength . Due to this, they were unable to truly release all their power . So both sides were at a stalemate .

A bit further from them was Guo Ran . With sabers in both hands, he was fighting three rank four Celestials, which caused metallic ringing to continuously come from there . Those fighting Guo Ran had an urge to vomit blood as Guo Ran’s armor was completely immoral . After fighting for so long, they finally saw cracks appear on Guo Ran’s armor . That had made them ecstatic .

But after so much work, when the armor finally broke, they almost went insane . What they had broken was just the outer skin of the armor .

Once that outer layer was broken, it revealed a completely fine set of armor .

“Are you guys going to be alright? My armor has a total of eighteen layers, and at this rate, you won’t be able to see my amazing body until next year!” said Guo Ran .

“PFFT! You fucker, you’re too shameless!” One of them directly coughed up a mouthful of blood from Guo Ran’s words . He was incredibly close to passing out .

However, they also didn’t dare to ignore Guo Ran and could only continue like this . Otherwise, he would charge into their army . His killing power was too great, so even if they couldn’t kill him, they had to hold him back .

Both parties were stalling on Guo Ran’s side . But on Wilde’s side, danger sprang up all over . There were nine experts attacking him, and one of those had almost lost his life to Wilde right at the very beginning in his carelessness .

Wilde’s attacks were too terrifying for them . There were no hints prior to the attacks, and they came in a bold and unconstrained style . All nine of them were unable to predict his next actions .

In truth, Wilde was just randomly smashing his hammer . Previously, Long Chen had refused to accept that Wilde couldn’t learn any techniques, and he had spent a full month teaching Wilde a move . But the result was that Wilde forgot it in just two days . Nowadays, Long Chen wouldn’t try teaching Wilde anything even if he was beaten to death .

The fiercest battle was at Long Chen’s side . The desert around them was constantly sinking . The fierce clashing auras were incredibly intense .

The entire battlefield had entered a strange equilibrium . Meng Qi suddenly felt a twist in space . A slender, translucent sword suddenly appeared next to her, piercing toward the space between her ribs .
