Chapter 6170 - The Mighty of the Painting Sect

“Boom!” Long Chen's slap landed solidly, and within ten steps, no one could escape this strike. The moment the elder was hit, strange runes appeared on his face, but these runes couldn't stop Long Chen's slap, and his face was directly shattered. The elder spun through the air and crashed into the star barrier, bouncing back with a harsh impact that drew exclamations from the onlookers. “There’s something odd,” Long Chen thought, startled. His attack was swift as lightning, and with his combat experience, he was certain the elder had no time to activate any defense. However, Long Chen sensed the aura of the scroll behind him; it must have instinctively protected its master, activating the runes. The elder was bounced back but remained unhurt, though a deep handprint was left on his face. His previously calm demeanor twisted into a grimace: “You damned brat, today I will peel your skin.” Boom! With a loud explosion, three imperial figures appeared behind the elder. However, his imperial presence was far more potent than that of an ordinary strongman. The emergence of these three figures radiated vast imperial might, and a terrifying pressure instantly locked onto Long Chen, with an overwhelming force surging towards him. Though they were both of the third heaven of the Emperor realm, this elder's strength was incomparably greater. “Whoosh” Suddenly, the scroll behind him shot out, and a long scroll unfurled before Long Chen's eyes, filled with fierce beasts. “It's painted with essence blood.” Long Chen's heart trembled, and the ferocious aura rushed towards him. At that moment, Long Chen's soul quaked, almost being sucked into the scroll. Long Chen's body stiffened, and his eyes lost focus, his entire being becoming dazed. “Brat, you're nothing but an ant before my Hundred Beasts Diagram. Be suppressed.” Seeing Long Chen's mind being absorbed into the scroll, the elder coldly shouted, reaching out to grab Long Chen's neck. The scroll depicted a hundred fierce beasts, all painted with their essence blood. These hundred beasts all had rare soul attack capabilities. Once the scroll was activated, the power of the hundred beasts would directly suck a person's soul into an illusion. It's more of an array than a scroll, and this attack is nearly unsolvable, which is why he was confident in capturing Long Chen without a fight. “It’s over,” The zither sect woman shook her head, a touch of disappointment on her face, finding Long Chen far weaker than she imagined. “Watch out!” At this moment, the elder with the long sword suddenly shouted. “Whoosh” Just as the elder's hand was about to grasp Long Chen's throat, a strange sharp blade stabbed towards the elder’s abdomen like lightning. “What?” The elder was shocked. His fingers only needed to reach a little further to grab Long Chen's neck. Once he caught Long Chen's neck, with his strength, Long Chen could never escape. Suddenly, he gritted his teeth, not dodging, instead letting divine light surge from his body to block Long Chen's strike. “Puff” The elder's protective divine light was instantly pierced by the blade, and a searing pain followed as countless tendrils from the blade invaded his internal organs. “Whoosh” Long Chen slightly tilted his head, and the elder's hand brushed past his neck, the sharp nails leaving several bloody marks. Seeing Long Chen's sinister eyes, the elder suddenly realized he had been tricked. Long Chen feigned having his soul sucked into the diagram, making his body immobile. When the elder approached, Long Chen counterattacked suddenly, concealing the divine weapon's aura to avoid detection. Long Chen calculated that the elder wouldn't retreat out of pride, thus taking the risk, and everything was within Long Chen’s plan. “You damned brat…” Realizing he was tricked, the elder formed seals with his hands. “Explode!” Long Chen shouted, and the Dragonbone Evilmoon embedded in the elder’s abdomen shattered into countless petals. “Puff, puff, puff…” The petals pierced the elder's body from the inside out, nearly causing him to explode. “Die!” Long Chen’s figure flickered, appearing before the elder, pointing a finger at his brow, and a black lightning arrow shot forth. “Puff” The elder's head was instantly pierced through, the black lightning carrying the endless force of heavenly punishment. As it penetrated his head, the three imperial figures behind him collapsed. “You damned brat, die!” The elder was slain by Long Chen in one strike, and the sword-bearing elder roared in anger, drawing his sword. Terrifying sword energy split the void, causing Long Chen's soul to ache, as if it was being cut by an invisible blade. This was a fearsome sword cultivator, whose sword intent differed from the Ling Tian Lineage, capable of striking the soul directly. Fortunately, Long Chen’s soul was vast enough to barely withstand this assault. “Buzz, buzz, buzz…” Long Chen opened his hand, and shields composed of countless petals appeared in the void. “Boom, boom, boom…” The shields exploded as the sword intent embedded in the sword was too terrifying for Long Chen to confront directly. Using over a dozen shields to block the strike, he wore down the terrifying sword intent, preventing any harm to the Dragonbone Evilmoon. “Zheng” A zither sound resonated, twisting the heavens and earth, and to Long Chen’s horror, the Nine Heavens dimmed as if shrouded by dark clouds. The mysterious force blocked the star river above the heavens, leaving Long Chen unable to draw any star power from the Nine Heavens, and even the life gate behind him dimmed considerably. “Foolish boy, my Zither Sect’s Supreme Star Covering Technique is your nemesis. I play the Star Covering Melody to shield the star power. Without the star power, let’s see how you use your tricks?” The zither sect woman sneered, holding her ancient zither, and attacked from another direction. Hearing the Supreme Star Covering Technique, Long Chen's heart tightened. From the first time he heard the name, he had a bad feeling, which was now confirmed. The star power around Long Chen rapidly dimmed, and his aura quickly declined. At this moment, the sword cultivator stepped through the void, appearing before Long Chen, and slashed down with his sword. “Snap” Facing the elder’s strike, Long Chen snorted coldly, clapped his hands together, and star power erupted, clamping the elder’s sword. The elder was initially startled; it was the first time in his life someone dared to catch his sword barehanded. However, he hadn’t used his full strength in this strike, as his goal was to capture him alive. “Your anomaly has been blocked. Let’s see how much star power you have left.” The elder sneered, his sword vibrating wildly as endless imperial power infused it. Long Chen’s anomaly was blocked, leaving him only his dantian’s star power to use, but the star power in his dantian was limited and couldn’t sustain against such a powerful attack for long. However, Long Chen wasn’t panicked, for he sensed the zither sect woman had stealthily approached behind him. “Buzz” Suddenly, star power erupted from Long Chen’s hands, shining like a blazing sun, blinding the eyes. The sword cultivator was shocked, thinking Long Chen was pulling a trick, and with an angry roar, he held nothing back, his sword vibrating wildly as a sword energy slashed out. “Ah…” A scream rang out, but it wasn’t Long Chen who cried out, it was the zither sect woman, shocking the sword-bearing elder. “Could it be…”
