Chapter 530 - Dragon Clan
“Die.” Long Chen only said one word, then he disappeared. An immense Heaven Sword Array appeared above the Red Ghost King’s head. Everything happened so fast!
The Red Ghost King gasped. A sword array formed above his head, containing millions of blood-red sword symbols, all burning with blood-red flames!
The power it radiated even surpassed what the Red Ghost King was capable of!
“How is this possible? He is only at the Seventh Passage Stage; how could he unleash power like that?!” The Red Ghost King was completely shocked. At the last possible moment, all he could do was do his best to defend himself!
But he had underestimated Long Chen!
Beneath the Heaven Sword Array that Long Chen had unleashed with all his might, the Red Ghost King let out an earth-shattering scream. To the crowd’s disbelief, he was dead almost instantly!
Everyone was stunned. There was shock and disbelief written all over every person’s face!
Although they knew that Long Chen had used some secret technique to increase his strength by many folds, it should not have risen to this level! How had he killed the Red Ghost King in just one strike? He was one of the seven Demon Kings of the Ancient Demon Domain! If this got out, the whole Divine Martial Empire would be shocked!
Many people rubbed their eyes. They finally believed that the Red Ghost King had been killed by Long Chen. Just like Ying Shaotian, not even ashes were left behind!
Even the Demon Emperor was stunned. He was clear that if he had allowed Jiang Wushang to kill Long Chen instead, the one dead would have been Jiang Wushang. Thankfully, the Red Ghost King had stepped up. Jiang Wuxie hurriedly pulled his son behind him, then he charged towards Long Chen!
Long Chen knew that the Demon Emperor would attack now!
“You all want me to die! How would that be possible without paying a price? Haha! Jiang Wuxie, aren’t you supposed to be strong? Isn’t the Ancient Demon Domain supposed to be strong?” Long Chen laughed loudly. After he killed the Red Ghost King, he suddenly appeared in the sky above the crowd of grand elders!
He unleashed the Heaven Sword Array once more!
“No!”
Beneath such a great force, even the grand elders could do nothing to defend themselves!
This was a huge twist of events. At least half of the fifty-plus grand elders were killed by Long Chen’s Heaven Sword Array! Killing the Red Ghost King was a huge blow, and now Long Chen had brought even larger losses to the Ancient Demon Domain!
He was a madman!
Everyone considered Long Chen a true madman now!
More than half of the grand elders had died by his hand!
This was a super-event that would shake the whole Divine Martial Empire!
It had been a long time since something like that had happened in the Divine Martial Empire. The person who had caused this huge incident was a mysterious teenager whose identity was unknown. At this point, no one knew Long Chen’s name yet.
“You have a death wish!” The mysterious and powerful Demon Emperor was also startled by Long Chen. To him, Long Chen was merely a minor character who he did not take seriously. How could he have expected such a drastic change after Long Chen used Blood Sacrifice?
One Demon King was dead and so were more than half of the grand elders. This was a heavy blow to the Demon Emperor because a quarter of the Ancient Demon Domain’s power was gone!
In just one breath’s time!
The Demon Emperor regretted not killing Long Chen himself just now, but it was too late!
He appeared next to Long Chen instantly.
Crack! He snapped the Demon Emperor Sword to crumbs!
After Long Chen used the Heaven Sword Array for the second time, there was no longer any strength in his body. He had initially cleared seven meridian points in his body, but now three of them were completely sealed once more, leaving him at the Fourth Passage Stage. Due overexertion from the Blood Sacrifice, his body had sustained great damage, which included foundational damage!
In the past, the Inherited Blood Essence had strengthened his body’s foundation, so his comprehension and various bodily functions were better than those of a regular person. Now, however, his foundation had been mostly destroyed. This damage was almost enough to make Long Chen a cripple!
Bearing the pain that penetrated deep into his bones, Long Chen smiled bitterly. He knew that this was the price of Blood Sacrifice’s third stage!
The third stage of Blood Sacrifice was never to be used unless one was in mortal danger. This was exactly his situation, but even after using it, he remained in danger.
After all his strength evaporated, just like his sword, the Demon Emperor grabbed his arm. It looked as if he was helping Long Chen stand.
Jiang Wuxie initially wanted to kill Long Chen, as he obviously could not let Long Chen continue to cause trouble. He was filled with rage!
However, Long Chen was just too mysterious. There were too many things Long Chen possessed that ignited Jiang Wuxie’s greed. His Blood Warp and ability to increase his strength dramatically were both mysterious and insane.
Long Chen could not even stand properly.
When Jiang Wuxie saw Long Chen’s condition, he smirked. “Was that a method that exhausts one’s potential for a powerful attack? It looks like you’ve become a cripple after using that method.”
The searing pain all over his body prevented Long Chen from answering.
Jiang Wuxie had guessed correctly. Long Chen was now basically a cripple.
He would be able to recover if he could get out of this place alive, but right now, even someone at the First Passage Stage could easily kill him. How could he possibly run?
Long Chen did not have much hope left.
He gazed at his surroundings weakly. He had killed a Demon King and many grand elders, so his death was not in vain.
Jiang Wuxie was also looking at the casualties sustained by the Ancient Demon Domain. He no longer had to worry about Long Chen in this state; even if he let go, Long Chen would have no strength to run.
“If I knew this would happen, I would have killed you myself. Then the Ancient Demon Domain would not have suffered such heavy losses.” Jiang Wuxie felt like he had been stabbed in the heart after he saw how heavy the losses were.
He regretted not personally handling the matter.
But it was too late.
The people were dead. Long Chen’s last struggle before death was indeed terrifying.
The crowd was still terrified after witnessing the terrifying slaughter. They knew that if Long Chen had attacked in their direction, many would have died too. Every one of the surviving grand elders was injured.
Everyone’s faces were somber.
All eyes fell on the teenager who could barely even stand. If they had not witnessed it with their own eyes, no one would have believed that he had done all of this on his own!
Even the Demon Emperor would not have believed it.
Even if he killed Long Chen a thousand times, or ten thousand times, he would not be able to resolve his hatred, because Long Chen’s life was not worth all of theirs.
The terrified Jiang Wushang instructed a portion of the people to start cleaning up the mess. Many people did not even dare to move. They were merely waiting to hear what Jiang Wuxie was planning to do to Long Chen.
They did not dare laugh, because to them, Long Chen was the devil.
Long Chen had brought endless terror to them.
Looking at the pale but still proudly standing teenager, Liu Yiyi shook her head painfully. She was the person who knew Long Chen best at this moment, but why did it feel like he was so far away?
Mother, he has a body that cannot die ... This thought suddenly popped into her head.
There was only dead silence.
Everyone was watching the Demon Emperor and Long Chen. The smarter ones could see that anyone could kill Long Chen, but even if he died, he would not be able to pay for the Ancient Demon Domain’s losses. They only wanted to see what would happen to him.
Jiang Wuxie paced in front of Long Chen.
“Give me a clean death. If you don’t kill me, I’ll kill myself.” Long Chen was already content. He was just a minor figure, but he had made the leader of this sect so torn. He was feeling quite proud.
Jiang Wuxie looked up. His eyes were still like the abyss.
“What is your name?” asked Jiang Wuxie.
“Long Chen, but not the Long Chen on the Bounty Board,” Long Chen answered directly.
If it was not for that person, Long Chen would not have killed those people from the Martial Alliance, nor would he have met Jiang Wucheng. And he would not be in this situation today.
“You have the right to compare yourself to him,” said Jiang Wuxie in a low voice.
“Are you going to kill me or not? Don’t waste my time.” Long Chen knew that the best outcome he could ask for right now was a quick death.
Jiang Wuxie was mulling over how to recover his losses, so he did not speak.
That was when Jiang Wuxie’s brows suddenly furrowed and he roared, “Who is that? Why are you sneaking around? Show yourselves!”
His furious roar echoed across the whole fourth layer of the Demon World!
Long Chen took several steps back, his ears filled with the Demon Emperor’s booming voice. Blood trickled out of his ears.
Who could it be? Long Chen would never have expected other people to appear in the Ancient Demon Domain. Everyone followed the Demon Emperor’s gaze.
Six dots suddenly flew from a faraway spot in the sky towards them, slowly enlarging until they turned into six people in front of the whole crowd. Long Chen’s gaze swept across all six and, to his shock, it seemed like every single one of them was as strong as a Demon King!
And some were even stronger!
The six people looked young, but their cultivation levels were sky-high. He could not figure out why these six unrelated masters would appear here.
Most people who were present did not recognize them, though the Demon Generals and the grand elders had terror written on their faces, stumbling backwards. Jiang Wushang and the five Demon Kings stood next to Jiang Wuxie.
Only the Clear Shallows King stood paralyzed, staring at one of the six people.
“So it’s the Dragon Clan. What are you doing here in the Ancient Demon Domain, so far from your base?” Demon Emperor Jiang Wuxie smiled coldly.
