Chapter 560: Heaven Piercing Five Dragons
When they truly began the battle, Long Chen suddenly realized that they were moving so fast that he could barely see them clearly. All he saw were afterimages swooping past. Even the Black Water Viper had turned into a black silhouette, darting in all directions.
But it never broke free from the trio!
The Black Water Viper had lived for more than a thousand years, and none of them would ever be able to defeat it if they fought alone. However, it was a different story when the three of them worked together. All of them were individual opponents that the Black Water Viper had to take seriously, and when they attacked simultaneously, it suffered.
The three masters’ attacks were lightning-fast. Shadows flickered in front of Long Chen, and he could only hear snake hisses!
Whoosh! The three humans and the snake separated. Long Chen realized that the snake was already bleeding profusely and its body was covered in claw marks. Those scratches must have been caused by Long Yue. The Demon Emperor and the Martial Emperor both used punch and kick techniques, so although the wounds could not be seen from the outside, the viper must have sustained internal injuries.
It did not matter how strong the Black Water Viper was when it was three against one. After about ten breaths’ time, it retreated. The previously arrogant viper sensed that its opponents were no simple humans, but powerful members of their species!
After the first skirmish, the Black Water Viper started to plan its retreat. It moved quickly and attempted to burrow back beneath the swamp. The three masters hurriedly gave chase. The Demon Emperor was the closest to it, so he was at the very front of the trio. That was when the Black Water Viper’s tail suddenly turned into a shadow whipping in his direction!
The Demon Emperor’s face changed and he retreated hurriedly!
“Think you can run? You’ll never escape!” Yang Ningfeng laughed coldly. If they let the Black Water Viper burrow underground, all their plans would be ruined. When the Demon Emperor was forced backward, the Martial Emperor stomped on the ground, causing a large patch of mud to fly up. Even the part of the viper that had just entered the mud flew into the air from the force of the stomp! Long Yue remained calm. After they stopped the snake, she took this opportunity to move. The viper had been thrown close to her, so without a word, she scratched its side with her sharp claws!
There was a vibration!
Her five claws swiped past, turning into five blood-red dragon shadows that swirled around the Black Water Viper!
“Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw, Five Piercing Dragons!”
Five earth-shattering dragon cries rang out along with the Black Water Viper’s cries of pain. Long Chen had watched Long Yue swipe her claw, forming five blood-red dragons that pounced on the Black Water Viper’s body. Five slashes appeared on the viper’s side, leaving wounds so deep that bone could be seen! A huge chunk of flesh had been cut off!
That move was powerful. Long Chen was shaken. He had long heard that Long Yue had an intermediate King-tier combat technique called the Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw. When Long Chen encountered the Eagle Martial King, the latter had used the Soul Dispersing Talons, which was merely an imitation of the Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw. Long Yue’s version was on a whole other level!
Long Chen was amazed by Long Yue’s technique.
He made a mental note of the name—Five Piercing Dragons!
The dragons had indeed pierced through the Black Water Viper, and a huge chunk of its flesh had been torn off. The Black Water Viper let out a cry that trembled the skies, and its emerald eyes turned blood-red!
Long Yue’s attack sent the Black Water Viper flying in Yang Ningfeng’s direction. It was now heavily injured. Yang Ningfeng’s expression turned cold and he disappeared in a flash. When he reappeared, a strong gust of wind blew towards the viper and slammed into its body. The gust of wind was actually an endless storm of kicks!
The Black Water Viper was now utterly incapacitated. Three masters that were on the same level as itself had worked together to defeat it, so it did not even have a chance to flee. When it was hit by the Martial Emperor’s attack, its life force was cut in half and it landed near the Demon Emperor.
“Since you two have made your moves, let me end it all!” The Demon Emperor let out a roar and threw a punch. A blurry shadow appeared behind him, which concentrated into a terrifying fist seal that slammed into the Black Water Viper’s head, causing it to cave inwards!
The Black Water Viper let out its last cry.
Then it died.
It did not matter how strong it was. With three people attacking it, it was helpless.
After all the life force had been drained from its body, it quickly expanded and returned to its previous size. The gigantic body was like a mountain range lying right in front of Long Chen!
The group froze when the Black Water Viper died, then they realized that it was time to fight for the Red Emperor Seal.
The first to react were the three masters. Without a word, they shot through the Black Water Viper’s body. It was too large for them to take away, and they did not have Universe Pouches that could fit it. That was why the only option was to pierce through the carcass to search for the Red Emperor Seal!
They did not care how disgusting it was, because the Red Emperor Seal was priceless.
All three of them had tough bodies, especially Long Yue, whose sharp claws allowed her to move through the corpse very smoothly! The toughest part was the skin; she easily dug through its muscles and internal organs with her claws!
After the three masters entered, the Martial Alliance and the Ancient Demon Domain members all looked at each other, then they swarmed towards the viper’s carcass. They all unsheathed their various weapons and chopped up the carcass. If they were lucky, they would strike the Red Emperor Seal!
Long Chen also wanted to join in.
Jiang Wuya and the rest had left, so Long Chen had nothing to worry about. If he could not hold on any longer, he could just use Blood Warp. Therefore, he took out the Desolate Cleaving Sword and rushed to the viper.
If he came across an enemy inside, Long Chen knew they would start fighting.
To the Dragon clan, the life of a member was more important than getting the Red Emperor Seal, so it was best that they did not participate in this chaotic rush for treasure.
Long Chen had just approached the carcass when someone stopped him. It was Jiang Wushang.
“I was thinking … If Long Yue gets the Red Emperor Seal and I hold you hostage, won’t it end up in my hands?” Jiang Wushang said with a smile.
“And if Jiang Wuxie gets the Red Emperor Seal and I hold you hostage, won’t it end up in my hands?” Long Chen threw him the same question.
It was a good thing that Jiang Wushang had stopped him. Trying his luck out here was better than going into the snake. He would be dead if he accidentally encountered the Martial or Demon Emperor inside. He would not even be able to use his Blood Warp in such a small space.
Everyone else had entered the viper’s carcass by now.
Jiang Wushang froze for a moment because Long Chen did not seem afraid at all, and he had even thrown his words back at him. Then Jiang Wushang smiled and said, “I remember what you did at the Ancient Demon Domain. Do you really think you can defeat an Earthly Martial Stage cultivator?”
“Less of that nonsense. Come if you dare.” After Long Chen spoke, he ran away from the Black Water Viper, and Jiang Wushang quickly gave chase.
Long Chen had first heard of Jiang Wushang soon after he entered the Ancient Demon Domain. He was the number one prodigy of the Ancient Demon Domain who had left a handprint on the Heaven Passage Pillars while only at the Ninth Passage Stage. At the time, Long Chen had only just entered the Heavenly Passage Realm himself.
Only two months had passed, but Long Chen was now as powerful as Jiang Wushang.
The rest of the people were fighting vigorously within the viper carcass. They did not know that the battle taking place outside would affect the whole field. Long Yue would never let Long Chen die, while Jiang Wushang was Jiang Wuxie’s hope for the future. This meant that the result of the battle between Long Chen and Jiang Wushang would decide if the Red Emperor Seal would end up with the Martial Alliance.
Of course, Jiang Wushang was confident that he would win.
“It seems like you don’t even have a King-tier combat technique,” said Jiang Wuxie with contempt as he eyed Long Chen.
Long Chen only had the True Martial Demon Body and the Demon Illusion.
“Long Yue was likely going to teach you the Soul Dispersing Dragon Claws, but unfortunately, it’s too late for that now. Of course, even if you had learned it, so what? The Ancient Demon Domain’s Ancient Demon Punch is ten thousand times better.”
Does that mean that this brat has mastered the Ancient Demon Punch?
Long Chen felt a little threatened.
Of course, he would never let himself be a burden to Long Yue.
A person can’t be considered a master without reaching the Earthly Martial Realm. I really need to start working harder to break through. Long Chen set his next goal with great determination.
He could only do his best against Jiang Wushang.
He gently raised the Desolate Cleaving Sword and said, “I don’t need King-tier combat techniques to deal with you.”
“You’re brave!” Jiang Wushang gave a small smile. Long Chen’s brazen arrogance was within his expectations.
The battle for the Red Emperor Seal was about to reach its climax, and Jiang Wushang had to fight for every extra second. After he spoke, he immediately charged at Long Chen!
Dragon Soul Transformation!
Long Chen immediately took his most powerful form!
The Golden Crow’s soul remnants burned in his nine meridian points.
Long Chen became a heat source in the cold and damp Cloud Dream Swamp. Thick water vapor rose from the mud around him due to the sheer heat.
Whoosh!
A Demon Illusion clone holding an intermediate Heaven-tier sword appeared next to Long Chen and then positioned itself behind Jiang Wushang.
Then both figures charged at Jiang Wushang at the same time!
