Chapter 487: Ye Chen
Ye Chen’s eyes burst with infinite delight as he saw the dismembered arm of the Crimsonblood Dragon. His hand reached out to grab the still-warm limb, but before he could reach it, a blood mist shot toward him.
“A futile effort,” Ye Chen said with a snort. His sword flashed and an invisible wave counterattacked the red dragon’s blood breath.
Almost as if someone had pressed the pause button in reality, the blood breath halted midair. No, it didn’t halt, but its movement slowed to a crawl. Even a snail could move faster than it.
Ye Chen’s movement never stopped. Just as his fingers grazed the blood red scales, alarm bells rang in his head. Ye Chen’s instincts told him that if he did not move this instant, he would perish. Never one not to trust his instincts, he obeyed, but it still wasn’t fast enough.
An external force shattered his time deceleration on the Crimsonblood Dragon’s breath, causing it to engulf him and the dismembered limb. Ye Chen gritted his teeth in anger. So close, he was so close to accomplishing his goal. However, he did not have time to get angry, as his sense of crisis only increased.
He broke out of the blood breath, his skin red like a cooked lobster. His vitality wavered, obviously damaged, but the worst was yet to come. A black ray shot toward Ye Chen far faster than he could dodge. He only had enough time to swing his sword in defense, but his power completely paled in comparison to the black ray.
A sonorous snap echoed in the void. Ye Chen’s eyes widened to the point they almost bugged out. When the black ray struck, it snapped his sword in half. Then it traveled down the broken blade and attacked him. A powerful force disintegrated his fingers, but it wasn’t done. It started to disintegrate his hand, then his wrist, and traveled up his arm.
Ye Chen didn’t hesitate for long. He grabbed his right elbow with his free hand and tightened his grip. Another snap later, he had ripped his own arm off, stopping the spread of the disintegration.
“Damn, it’s you dragons again. First it was Canglong, now it’s you!” Ye Chen shouted, his eyes practically spouting fire.
