Chapter 6288 - Take a Gamble

The person who made the move was none other than Long Chen. At this moment, there was a trace of shock in Long Chen's eyes. Because the 'Demon' character that appeared on Qi Ying's forehead was almost identical in aura to the 'Demon' character mark on the foreheads of the Primordial Demon Clan, although not quite the same in appearance. This left Long Chen with no choice but to act. With one hand, he stopped the punch of the Silver-winged Demon, allowing it to exert as much force as it wanted, yet it couldn't budge Long Chen at all. "Roar..." The Silver-winged Demon was both surprised and angry. It opened its huge mouth and roared, shaking the heavens. Emperor Flame blossomed from its silver wings, and its power began to turn violent. "Noisy." Long Chen frowned, and suddenly a black spike materialized in his large hand, piercing through the demon's gigantic fist and simultaneously through its head. "Boom..." At that moment, countless Winged Demons charged at Long Chen. Long Chen snorted coldly; there was no need for him to make a move. "Boom." The ground exploded, and countless vines shot out like sharp swords. The Winged Demon strongmen were all slain. Zhi Zhi could appear in the void, could appear on Long Chen's body, but only when it appeared on the ground could its power be best unleashed. Long vines, thousands of miles long, like divine whips of death, ravaged the battlefield, slaughtering madly. Amidst the blood rain, the Winged Demons surrounding the team were instantly cleared. Although they knew Long Chen's strength was formidable, on such a terrifying battlefield, Long Chen's continued bravery amazed and delighted the strongmen of the Shadow Demon Bat Clan. Qi Ying watched Long Chen with a complicated expression. She bit her lip and said, "Are you a descendant of the Nine Stars?" "Authentically so," Long Chen responded. "Then why can't you recognize the divine script personally inscribed by the Star Lord? You must be a fake," Qi Ying retorted coldly. "Trying to inquire about the Primordial Demons? You can forget about it!" "The Star Lord? Personally inscribed?" Long Chen was taken aback. Could the 'Demon' character divine script on this woman's forehead have been personally inscribed by the Nine Star Lord? A mural flashed in Long Chen's mind. In the mural, someone seemed to be holding a red brush, writing something on another person's forehead. However, the mural was extremely vague, and Long Chen hadn't paid it any mind. Now, hearing Qi Ying's words, his heart couldn't help but race. So, are the Shadow Demon Bat Clan similar to the Primordial Demons? Are they intricately connected to the Nine Star Lord? "In that case, let's finish this battle first." Obviously, Qi Ying was very suspicious of him. Gaining her trust and obtaining more information wasn't going to happen anytime soon. However, since they were related to the Nine Star Lord, Long Chen absolutely couldn't stand by idly. "Zhi Zhi, unleash everything you've got!" Long Chen ordered Zhi Zhi. "Boom." With Long Chen's command, Zhi Zhi in the chaotic space glowed brightly, black lightning entwined around it, and its body instantly became ethereal. "Boom..." Vines pierced through the ground, spreading rapidly, instantly covering a battlefield area of millions of miles. "Puff, puff, puff..." Vines shot out from beneath the earth, precisely killing the powerful Winged Demons. Many strongmen of the Winged Demon Clan were slain before they even understood what was happening, their bodies directly transported into the black soil by Zhi Zhi. In almost an instant, the corpses of the Winged Demon strongmen piled up like mountains. However, with Zhi Zhi's large-scale attack, its power rapidly diminished, and even killing strongmen with two hundred Emperor Flames became somewhat difficult. But with Zhi Zhi's assistance, the strongmen of the Shadow Demon Bat Clan seized the opportunity, launching a frenzied counterattack. The battlefield balance was instantly broken, and the Shadow Demon Bat Clan gained an absolute advantage. "You..." Qi Ying looked at the battlefield, which was turned around by one of Long Chen's actions. Amid her shock, there was also wild joy. Qi Ying looked at Long Chen, biting her lip, "Can I trust you?" "Of course, because I am a life-and-death partner with the Primordial Demons!" Long Chen said, looking at Qi Ying. Qi Ying looked at Long Chen, her fists clenched tightly. Finally, she seemed to make up her mind and said, "Our Shadow Demon Bat Clan has been deceived by the strongmen of the Nine Heavens world too many times. I no longer dare to believe your words. But... we are at a life-and-death juncture, and I can only take a gamble!" As she continued, Qi Ying's voice choked with sobs. She seemed to be bearing endless pain, making her appearance heartbreaking. She continued, "I cannot be sure if you are truly a descendant of the Nine Stars, but even if you are, what of it? Haven't you also raised the butcher's knife against us..." Speaking of the Nine Star Descendants, this outwardly strong woman finally couldn't hold back anymore, tears streaming down her face. She wiped the tears from her face and said, "But now, we have no other way. The enemy has begun awakening the Demon Souls. If we don't stop them, our Shadow Demon Bat Clan will have no hope." "Thud..." Qi Ying suddenly knelt on both knees, her jade hands clenched into fists, her nails digging into her flesh: "Lord Long Chen, I beg you, do not deceive our Shadow Demon Bat Clan, please help us." Seeing this stubborn woman kneeling and sobbing, Long Chen was stunned. What on earth was going on here? If the divine script on their foreheads was personally inscribed by the Nine Star Lord, then why would the Nine Star Descendants raise the butcher's knife against them? Long Chen didn't know what mystery lay within, but from Qi Ying's grievance and indignation-filled tears, Long Chen could feel her despair. She did not trust Long Chen, yet she had no choice but to seek his help, filling her heart with contradictions and pain. Long Chen reached out and helped Qi Ying up, solemnly saying, "I don't know what misunderstanding lies within, but even if the identity of a Nine Star Descendant cannot convince you, the name Long Chen is the most resounding signboard in this world. I, Long Chen, have never disappointed those who have trusted me..." "Boom..." At this moment, a boom erupted from the battlefield's center, interrupting Long Chen's words. Qi Ying looked at Long Chen, took a deep breath, and said, "Then please, Lord Long Chen, come with me to support Lord Ming Yu. If Lord Long Chen can help my clan survive this crisis, our Shadow Demon Bat Clan will forever be your most loyal friends." "Whoosh." Qi Ying instructed everyone to assist Zhi Zhi in battle, taking Long Chen by the hand and rushing toward the center of the battlefield. "Still not trusting me, huh?" Being pulled along by Qi Ying, Long Chen couldn't help but sigh inwardly. In Qi Ying's hand, the magic blood flowed, constantly sensing Long Chen's soul fluctuations. Although her perception was extremely subtle, how could it escape Long Chen? Under normal circumstances, Long Chen would have already walked away. But regarding the Shadow Demon Bat Clan, Long Chen was filled with curiosity. He wanted to uncover that sealed history. "Boom..." As they approached the battlefield, they encountered a barrier. Long Chen was shocked to find that the barrier's aura was divided between two camps: this side was the Shadow Demon Bat Clan, and the other was the Winged Demon Clan from beyond. "Whoosh." At the barrier, Qi Ying bit her finger and gently touched it, allowing the two to pass through instantly. What Long Chen saw then was a scene that even left him shocked.
