Chapter 6365 - Long Chen VS Long Wu
0:000:00
The six star gates opened fully, while the seventh was half-open. Yet, even half-open, the star gate unleashed earth-shattering energy. The vast power of the stars surged towards Long Chen, his starry battle armor billowing around him, as a majestic pressure continuously swept across the heavens and the earth. At this moment, Long Chen finally harnessed the power of the stars. Though he was not shrouded in Emperor Flame, the starlight rippled around him, and his aura was no weaker than Long Wu, who possessed 998 strands of Emperor Flame.
Feeling the star power emanating from Long Chen, Long Wu's battle intent soared, "The Nine Star Heir is said to be invincible at the same level. Hmph, but that myth was shattered long ago in the chaotic era. Today, I will slay you, the Nine Star Heir, seize your Qiankun Cauldron, and use your head to commemorate my fallen brothers and sisters of the Evil Dragon Clan."
"I've heard such boasts so much that my ears have grown calluses. If you've got the skill, bring it on!" Long Chen shook his neck, causing his bones to crackle. With his movement, the stars swirled around him, and the myriad worlds trembled. After the previous battle, Long Chen was now in peak fighting condition.
"The two guys over by Mengyao are yours to handle. Xue Tu, Qingyi, Mingkong, take care of our brothers and sisters. If you don't have to fight to the death, don't. Each of you has received a fortune blessing, with limitless future potential. Trading one life for another is too much of a loss for us," Long Chen transmitted to his allies.
Long Chen's strategy was for Di Mengyao to use the Heavenly Dragon War Halberd to tie down the two strong opponents with 997 strands of Emperor Flame, while Xue Tu, Qingyi, and Hai Mingkong disrupted and maintained battlefield balance, avoiding direct confrontation.
The dragon clan warriors, blessed with fortune, had improved astonishingly. Perhaps it was the accumulated blessing power of their ancestors over eons or the return of the fortune of the Nine Heavens imprints upon them. They had entered a period of explosive growth, each with incredible potential. Given time, their growth would surely outpace these Evil Dragon Clan powerhouses.
"Boss, I..." Xue Tu was extremely uncomfortable. Long Chen's strategy was defensive, but he was not adept at defense; he wanted to kill.
"Unless it's a matter of life and death, you are not to use that move," Long Chen commanded sternly.
This time, Long Chen didn't use soul transmission, and on the opposite side, Long Wu seemed to be communicating with the Evil Dragon Clan's powerhouses. Hearing Long Chen's words, he snorted coldly, "Blustering in the face of death, attack!"
Long Wu's body suddenly trembled, and Emperor Flame erupted, engulfing the entire battlefield in a vast domain. This domain's power was stronger and more terrifying than Di Mengyao's. The moment the Emperor Flame Domain formed, Long Wu's figure appeared before Long Chen.
"Buzz"
A punch was thrown, wrapped in Emperor Flame, the roar of an evil dragon echoing through the heavens and the earth. It was a violent, lethal strike, giving Long Chen no chance to react.
"Snap"
A massive hand filled with stars blocked Long Wu's fist. Emperor Flame and starlight formed a barrier, dividing the world into two.
"Rumble..."
The barrier shattered, and an overwhelming force pressed down, forcing Long Chen to step back several times. The dragon clan warriors behind Long Chen were swept away by the terrifying force, tumbling and flying tens of thousands of miles away.
"Lord Long Chen..." Hai Mingkong was shocked. In their initial exchange, Long Chen was suppressed; this was not good.
"Lord Long Chen deliberately dissipated the force. If we fought head-on, we'd be fine, but our other brothers and sisters would get hurt. We must have faith in Lord Long Chen. Everyone, prepare yourselves; Long Wu's subordinates are attacking!" Qingyi reminded.
Qingyi’s cultivation talent was not as high as Di Mengyao's, and her explosive combat power not as strong as Xue Tu’s, but she had keen insight and perception, far surpassing others in overall control.
She instantly understood Long Chen's intent: he wanted to split the battlefield, to confront Long Wu alone, deliberately distancing himself to avoid mutual interference.
Long Wu acted first, seizing the initiative, thinking that even if Long Chen blocked the attack, he would be flustered, and some would inevitably be injured. The Evil Dragon Clan's powerhouses could then launch a chaotic assault, disrupting everyone's deployment and putting tremendous psychological pressure on Long Chen.
However, this so-called initiative was easily broken by Long Chen, disrupting the Evil Dragon Clan's rhythm, and the initiative returned to Di Mengyao's side.
"Boom"
At this moment, a loud explosion occurred as Long Chen and Long Wu clashed again. For a moment, it was as if a sun exploded. A massive ripple spread instantly; Di Mengyao and others retreated immediately, yet were still pushed far back, further from Long Chen's battlefield.
This strike proved Qingyi's analysis: previously, Long Chen held back to protect them. Now, Long Chen counterattacked.
As the Evil Dragon Clan's powerhouses charged towards Di Mengyao and others, they inadvertently absorbed part of the shockwave's impact for them.
Long Chen's rhythm was exquisitely controlled, scattering the Evil Dragon Clan's formation instantly. Some weaker opponents, too close to the shockwave, were directly sent rolling away.
"Good opportunity!"
Even without battle talent, Di Mengyao knew this was the best time to attack. Her Heavenly Dragon War Halberd glowed, Emperor Flame surged, and the vast domain power erupted, enveloping all the Evil Dragon Clan powerhouses.
"Kill!"
Xue Tu and others immediately seized the chance, cooperating with Di Mengyao to attack amid the enemy's chaos.
"Kill!"
A bald powerhouse with 997 strands of Emperor Flame, his face adorned with bizarre dragon patterns, his expression fierce as a demon, saw Di Mengyao take the initiative. Ignoring prior tactics, he charged directly at Di Mengyao.
The saying goes, "Capture the ringleader to capture the bandits." As long as he defeated Di Mengyao and broke her domain, the entire dragon clan would be at their mercy.
"Wait!"
Another powerhouse with 997 strands of Emperor Flame was shocked. They had initially split into two groups for a pincer attack, but Long Chen's defense forced them to change the rhythm, and Di Mengyao's retreat angled slightly more towards the bald man's side.
The second strike between Long Chen and Long Wu increased their distance, preventing coordination. Seeing the bald man charge alone, he was alarmed and rushed at full speed.
"Buzz"
As the bald man approached Di Mengyao, the domain power intensified. Yet, the bald man was immensely powerful, wielding a blood-red battle blade longer than himself, forcibly cleaving a path through the domain, directly towards Di Mengyao.
"Whoosh"
At that moment, Hai Mingkong's figure suddenly appeared, his large hand opening to reveal a water pattern that formed a light screen, blocking the bald man's path.
"Those who block me—die!"
Seeing an obstruction, the bald man shouted, his battle blade glowing. This was also a powerful Divine Emperor Artifact, slicing into the water screen.
"Pop"
With a soft sound, the water screen offered no resistance and was instantly breached. As the screen broke, a distorted world appeared before the bald man.
"Not good, it's an illusion!"
The bald man was horrified, and as he unleashed his soul power, the distorted world shattered before his eyes.
"Buzz"
Yet, just as he dispelled the illusion, the sharp tip of the Heavenly Dragon War Halberd was already at his chest.
