Chapter 1156
Long Chen pulled back his hand, drawing out a black figure . That black figure was like an octopus, but with countless tentacles that were like sinister centipedes .
Half of it had been pulled out by Long Chen, but now the black figure was struggling fiercely, refusing to be pulled out of Hua Shiyu’s body .
At this moment, an elder appeared within the black qi, staring at Long Chen with triangular eyes .
“It’s him… he… he’s the one… who came to my family… pfft!” Hua Shiyu immediately cried out upon seeing that figure, but she then coughed up a mouthful of blood .
“Brat, don’t meddle in other people’s affairs . Some people can’t be provoked by you . If you’re smart, you’ll immediately stop,” barked the elder .
“You know, I haven’t read many books, and I’m not very smart . What are you saying exactly?” Long Chen acted stupid, while he silently sent thunderforce through the ground .
“Dumb brat, if you offend me, you, your family, and even your sect will be completely annihilated!” roared the elder .
“Try to brag a bit more . Maybe something about destroying the stars and the very universe? I’ve heard such poser words many times . But if you brag a bit more, I might believe you,” said Long Chen .
“You…!”
Just at this moment, the rest of the black qi was fully extracted, and it was now powerless to resist .
“Bastard, just you wait! I’ll find you! If you think you can save this girl, keep dreaming!” The elder furiously formed a seal with one hand . A large hand suddenly shot out of the black qi at Hua Shiyu’s chest .
“Idiot . ” Long Chen sneered . A lighting dragon suddenly appeared in front of Hua Shiyu’s chest, devouring the black hand .
The elder in the black qi coughed up three large mouthfuls of blood . Having that black hand devoured by Lei Long had clearly injured him .
“Oh my, you still get your period? And even at such an age, and so much! Old man, your health’s not bad!” praised Long Chen .
“You- pfft!”
The elder once more coughed up a mouthful of blood . His image in the black qi began to grow unsteady, and then it faded into nothing .
But just as that image faded, the elder’s furious roar rang out . “Brat, just wait! I’ll definitely find who you are and kill your family, your sect…”
…
Within the Grand Han Ancient Nation, an elder’s furious roar rang out from a tall tower that pierced the clouds .
“Bastard, let me see just where that girl is!” The elder extended his hands, pressing his thumbs against his four fingers consecutively . His expression suddenly changed . “How is this possible?! Her fate is blocked from me? Hmph, it’s definitely just because I was injured . Then let’s see who that idiot brat was . ”
Bang!
Just as the elder formed a hand seal, without any warning at all, half his body instantly exploded .
“Im-impossible!” A look of terror appeared on his face as he crazily roared .
Countless white-robed experts flew to the top of the tower . Seeing that half the elder’s body had exploded, they were all horrified .
“Pavilion master!”
“Hurry up and bring me to the healers!”
The elder’s expression sank . In the end, he glared coldly in a certain direction . That was the direction where Long Chen was .
…
The black qi exploded . Long Chen used his thunderforce to completely annihilate it . As for Hua Shiyu, she had already fainted .
Her face was pale, and she had coughed up blood all over herself . Long Chen gently carried her to a bed .
Examining her body, he saw that she had lost a great deal of her Spirit Blood, and her Dantian had been deeply shaken . Fortunately, her soul hadn’t been impacted .
Other injuries could be resolved with medicinal pills, but injuries to the soul were troublesome . Those required a long time of slow nourishment .
After giving Hua Shiyu a few more medicinal pills, Long Chen left, calling over Zhao Ziyan to look after Hua Shiyu .
Hua Shiyu woke the next day . When Meng Qi, Tang Wan-er, and Long Chen came to see her, they saw that while she was still pale, there was a kind of indescribable Dao-charm flowing within her eyes .
“Congratulations on awakening as a rank six Celestial!” Tang Wan-er was shocked but happy for her . For someone who had six innate Heavenly Dao runes, going from the fifth rank to the sixth rank was not called advancing, but awakening .
“It’s all thanks to Long Chen . However, it seems I’ve brought you more trouble . ” Hua Shiyu’s voice was apologetic .
“I’m a specialist in causing trouble . I like trouble, and trouble likes me . I got used to it a long time ago . ” Long Chen shrugged .
He had so much trouble that he didn’t mind adding in some Heavenly Fate Pavilion . No matter how amazing they were, he wouldn’t just watch as one of his friends died without helping . So he was indifferent .
“This is great news! The strength of the Xuantian Dao Sect has once more risen a level with your awakening as a rank six Celestial!” Meng Qi smiled .
“It’s not just one level . Yesterday, I saw Wang Zhen summon many ninth rank insects . He was drilling them,” said Zhao Ziyan . For everyone to improve was a good thing .
Wang Zhen’s mother insect had already reached the late ninth rank . Although its actual combat power hadn’t increased, that wasn’t what Wang Zhen needed . All he needed was its ability to suppress and lead other insects .
With the mother insect’s higher cultivation base, the other insects wouldn’t rebel . These days, he was raising a few insect kings .
These insect kings would be the generals of his other insects . Their cultivation bases were at the mid ninth rank, and they would control an army of early ninth rank insects to fight .
The role of the insect kings was very important, and so he had to pick out the best . He had them fight and kill each other until only the strongest survived . Only then would they have the ability to lead other insects .
Wang Zhen’s power was crazily rising, while Hua Shiyu had awakened as a rank six Celestial . With her innate talent and combat power, as long as she didn’t encounter a rank seven Celestial, she could probably dominate the Foundation Forging realm .
“What about Cloud? Why don’t I see it?” asked Long Chen .
“Wilde and Cloud are out hunting . Cloud has been spoiled by you, and now it only eats the food it hunts itself . As for Wilde, he eats like crazy . The two of them eat practically day and night . With the rations dropping day by day, the two of them went out . ” Meng Qi was a bit helpless about this .
“That’s fine . With Wilde’s power and Cloud’s speed, they can easily flee if they encounter enemies they can’t beat . ” Long Chen wasn’t the slightest bit worried about the two of them .
When it came to pure power, Wilde wasn’t weaker than him . Furthermore, Wilde seemed to be in a very important state . He needed this food .
“What about Gao Xianyang? Is there any news from his side?” asked Long Chen .
“No . It’s like they’ve disappeared . You don’t think something bad happened to them, do you?” guessed Zhao Ziyan .
“Impossible, right?” Long Chen shook his head .
“How are you so sure?” Meng Qi and the others were surprised .
“Because they’re all bad people, and bad people don’t die so easily . ” Long Chen shrugged .
The others rolled their eyes . This kind of logic was absurd . But it was just a joke, so they didn’t take it seriously .
“Oh?”
Just as they were talking, Long Chen frowned .
“What is it?”
“Meng Qi, have you not sensed something odd? For example, some outsiders invading?” asked Long Chen .
“Oh? My four spiritual bells are completely fine . All the spiritual fluctuations around here are also normal . What is it?” said Meng Qi with some surprise .
“Is that so? Then that means some old friends have arrived . Ah, it’s been such a long time . I really missed them!” Long Chen smiled profoundly .
He left the city lord mansion and appeared in the air . It was the afternoon now, and the sunlight was sprinkling over him . It was warm and comfortable, and there was even a gentle sea breeze . If it weren’t for the strong scent of blood, it would be a very beautiful day .
The occasional disciple saw him and bowed, receiving a nod and a smile from Long Chen .
Just as Long Chen was smiling and greeting people, a sword suddenly appeared in the air behind him, stabbing straight at his back .
The sword appeared merely a few feet from his back . It simply appeared there with no foundation, reaching his back in an instant .
“Who’s there?!” shouted Long Chen . He instantly shot into the air, just barely dodging the sword .
Only once he was in the air did he see a stiff-faced man appear out of thin air . The attack had come from him .
Right as he saw him, dozens of other figures appeared in the air and sharp blades stabbed toward Long Chen .
It was like they had planned everything perfectly . They all attacked at the same time, sealing all his possible retreat paths .
Furthermore, those sharp blades were completely silent . All their power was concentrated, and once it stabbed through him, it would erupt . These were terrifying assassins with attacks that had been concentrated to the pinnacle .
“Raging Flames Devour the Heavens!”
Long Chen formed a hand seal and flame runes appeared, forming a barrier around him .
BOOM! When those attacks met the flames, a heaven-shaking explosion rang out and flames enveloped the sky .
The flames continued to spread, devouring the assassins . But when the flames were about to touch them, their figures twisted strangely and they disappeared .
The flames roared through the sky, causing the air to twist . All the disciples below were shocked and jumped into a battle state .
While the flames were still raging through the sky and everyone still couldn’t see things clearly, a sword silently cut through the flame barrier and slashed toward Long Chen .
