Chapter 1369: 1369
The golden phoenix was tightly bound in blood-colored chains . They were the Spirit Blood seals that Qu Dajiang, Jiang Zijun, Dan Yanxue, and Kan Dongze had summoned .
After several days of work, the four of them had finally exhausted the golden phoenix . The most important factor was that Earth Flame Spirit Beasts were too dumb . Despite clearly having weakened, it didnât flee and continued to fight . As a result, it had allowed itself to be captured .
Their Spiritual Strength was currently erasing the final bit of energy the golden phoenix had .
Eventually, the chains suddenly tightened . The seal was complete .
âHahaha, success!â
The four of them were all ecstatic to have sealed the golden phoenix without any mishaps .
âEveryone, youâve worked hard . Let me express my sincere gratitude for your outstanding contribution . Since weâre all friends, Iâll kindly accept it!â
A figure suddenly appeared beside the golden phoenix and put it away . He had a grateful expression and cupped his fists in thanks toward the four of them .
âLong San?!â
Their expressions all changed . They had already told all their subordinates not to come here no matter what happened .
That was because the four of them didnât want Pill Valley to learn about the matter of the Heaven Incinerating Flame . According to Pill Valleyâs rules, any disciple who obtained a top ten Earth Flame would have to offer it to Pill Valley, and Pill Valley would give them a corresponding reward .
Earth Flames below the top ten would belong to the disciples, but the top ten Earth Flames were too powerful . Even Pill Valley cared about them . As for the Heaven Incinerating Flame, it was ranked third . If they gave it to Pill Valley, there was no chance of them getting something as good .
Even if the Pill Valley gave them treasures, there was no way they could match the value of the Heaven Incinerating Flame . So the four of them had intended to keep this matter secret . After all, everyone was selfish .
That was why no one had appeared in this region despite them fighting for so long . The four of them were sure no one would be so brazen as to come here and snatch the Earth Flame from them, so they hadnât made any preparations .
âCourting death!â Seeing Long Chen put the golden phoenix away, the four of them were enraged . Qu Dajiang was the first to attack . Flames erupted from him as he attacked Long Chen . He unleashed a punch that was clearly intent on killing him .
âIâve been courting death for a long time . But can you actually help me court death?â
Long Chen smiled coldly . He didnât unleash his aura . He just sent out a single punch .
Flames erupted . Qu Dajiangâs arm broke in several places and he was blown back .
âDo you think you could suppress me like when I was still in the Foundation Forging realm?â Long Chen sneered . His gaze was like two sharp blades sweeping over the four of them . He was no longer his old self and was filled with explosive power . Just now, his punch had been nothing more than a test .
âYou . . . you advanced to the Jade Core realm?â
The four of their expressions changed . Dan Yanxue and Kan Dongzeâs expressions were especially ugly .
âDo you regret abandoning me so easily? Did you feel like I wouldnât have much value as a chess piece? Perhaps if you had used me better, I could have even helped you get rid of Jiang Zijun . Is that what youâre thinking?â said Long Chen indifferently as he looked at Dan Yanxue and Kan Dongze . He naturally knew what they were thinking .
âNonsense! Long San, youâve already become bedeviled . Our subordinates were simply ordered to capture you, not kill you . Put down your butcherâs blade and come peacefully . Thatâs your only option to live . As long as you donât resist, thereâll still be room for negotiating . Although you killed many people, Pill Valley wonât kill someone as talented as you . Donât misunderstand,â explained Kan Dongze .
âHahahaâŠâ Long Chen couldnât help but laugh . Even at this time, he was able to say such lies that not even a child would believe . They were really insulting his intelligence .
Long Chen couldnât be bothered to expose him . The main thing was that he didnât want to waste words . There was no need for such a thing now .
âAttack together! Kill him!â Jiang Zijun roared furiously . Heavenly Dao energy circulated, and a flame spear condensed in his hand . He shot at Long Chen .
Although they had all exhausted a great deal of soul energy and spiritual yuan to seal the golden phoenix, the truth was that most of the effort had come from Qu Dajiang .
After the first day, they had found their rhythm and learned to cooperate . Their rate of exhaustion had fallen, while the golden phoenix had weakened . By the end, their spiritual yuan had mostly recovered .
âWatch out!â Seeing Jiang Zijun charge forward on his own, Qu Dajiang let out a startled cry . Of the four of them, he was the strongest . Only he knew just how terrifying the current Long Chen was . He immediately shot after Long Chen as well .
BANG! Jiang Zijunâs spear was blown apart by Long Chen . In front of Long Chen, that flame spear was as weak as a childâs plaything .
Jiang Zijun had never imagined that Long Chen would have grown to such a terrifying level . With his flame spear broken, he was open to attack . Long Chenâs hand was already raised in the air .
Pow!
Long Chenâs hand viciously slapped across Jiang Zijunâs face . A thick, automatic flame barrier appeared over Jiang Zijunâs face to block it, but it was blown apart by Long Chenâs slap .
Half of Jiang Zijunâs face caved in, and he shot back like a shooting star, crashing into the lava . A huge pillar of lava soared into the sky and then descended as a rain of lava .
Qu Dajiangâs fist arrived in front of Long Chen right after he had slapped Jiang Zijun . His nine flowers revolved behind him . This time, he was using his real power .
BOOM!
Long Chen met Qu Dajiangâs punch with his own, and flame runes flew in every direction . It was like a firework had gone off .
Long Chen and Qu Dajiangâs fists were still locked as they floated in the air, their eyes cold as their auras continuously rose .
A small vortex appeared where their fists were colliding . It gradually grew larger and larger .
Jiang Zijun came out of the lava, his face pale and horrified . Just now, Long Chenâs slap had almost killed him .
He knew that if it hadnât been for his flame armor and Qu Dajiangâs reinforcement, he would have died . If Long San hadnât needed to reserve a bit of energy to handle Qu Dajiang, that slap would have destroyed his head .
Now seeing Long San fighting equally against Qu Dajiang, he was even more horrified .
Dan Yanxue and Kan Dongze were also stupefied . They had never imagined that Long San was so powerful . After just advancing to the Jade Core realm, he possessed the power to fight against Qu Dajiang . It had to be known that Qu Dajiang was an extremely terrifying flame cultivator .
BOOM!
Qu Dajiangâs fist began to emit a blazing light as his power became violent . All his muscles bulged and his robes exploded, revealing his copper skin .
Qu Dajiang was originally a large man . With his muscles bulging like this, he looked like a monster .
âIn terms of power, no one is a match for me in the same realm! You might be strong, but thereâs an uncrossable gap between us!â said Qu Dajiang coldly . With the increase in size, his voice also became heavier .
At first, Jiang Zijun had been horrified to see Long San being a match for Qu Dajiang . But now seeing Qu Dajiang reveal such immense power, he instead became excited and cheered him on . âBrother Qu, donât kill him too fast! Donât forget, he killed your brother . We have to make him live a life worse than death!â
Dan Yanxue and Kan Dongzeâs expressions changed slightly, and they exchanged a glance . They nodded .
They definitely wouldnât allow Long San to live . Only once he was dead could they push the blame to Jiang Zijun . Otherwise, if the truth was learned, the ones to die would be them .
They had made their plans . Once Long San was subdued, they would immediately kill him to cover up the truth .
âSorry, I canât accept your words . In terms of power, within the same realm, the only one who might be able to surpass me is one of my brothers . Other than him, I havenât met anyone who could match me . Your confidence is based on nothing,â sneered Long Chen .
Suddenly, an explosive sound came from Long Chenâs body as his 108,000 stars began to revolve, forming an unending cycle of energy that poured through his body . His aura erupted .
BOOM!
Azure ripples appeared in the space around Long Chenâs fist . That was the result of space being compressed by the immense power .
âThis⊠this is impossible!â
BOOM!
Long Chenâs energy suddenly erupted like a volcano . Qu Dajiang was suddenly blown back by an immense power . He almost coughed up blood .
Long Chen continued to stand in the air . Ripples continued to spread from his body . They began to spread further and further, shaking the sky and lava .
âIt really is nice to be full of power . â Long Chen clenched his fists . Feeling this inexhaustible energy surging within him, his eyes blazed .
âSorry, Iâll be using you all as whetstones today . â Long Chen shot toward the four of them .
