Chapter 7138 The Second Expert
That giant sword tore through space and shattered the laws of the world. Its powerful pressure locked onto Tu Jie, and his protective divine light instantly shattered. Even his manifestation flickered madly.
Tu Jie was horrified. Long Chen’s attack hadn’t even arrived, but the sheer pressure made him feel like he would explode. There was no way he could block this attack on his own. One touch would kill him.
Having advanced two more Heavenstages, Long Chen’s law power had grown vaster and stronger. His Saint Sword Judgment was on a completely different level now.
Tu Jie clenched his teeth. He suddenly took out a talisman and crushed it. The talisman ignited, and law runes converged into a golden shield. Sovereign might radiated through the sky.
The aura of a Heavenly Sovereign again... Long Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly.
BOOM!
Long Chen’s Saint Sword Judgment struck the golden shield with an explosive sound, and both sword and shield exploded at the same time. The shield blocked the attack, but the resulting explosion made Tu Jie hack up blood.
Damn, a divine talisman made with the essence blood of a Heavenly Sovereign was destroyed just like that...
Tu Jie’s heart was dripping blood. He had kept his life, but at what cost? This talisman was quite literally priceless. It was not a single-use item; in fact, it could be used many times, so long as it was given enough time to replenish its energy between uses. There were barely a handful of people in the Immortal Ascension Gate in possession of such a talisman. This had been his strongest life-preserving trump card, and now it was destroyed.
Tu Jie had no time to grieve. He ignited his essence blood, using a Blood Evasion Art. However, just as he was about to disappear into the void, the surrounding space turned chaotic. A giant Curse character appeared. The Curse character then transformed into millions of wind blades.
Impossible! He can use such powerful divine abilities so quickly!? Tu Jie was horrified. The ability to unleash such terrifying attacks one after another completely toppled his understanding of law divine techniques.
Naturally, he had no way of knowing that in his Heaven-Earth law empowerment state, Long Chen was able to instantly unleash the divine techniques of the violet blood and Jiuli races. Not only that, but his law power was limitless during this time. If it were not for his mental energy and core energy still being limited, he could simply keep using divine techniques until every bit of law power around him was completely exhausted.
“You bastard, you won’t have a good death! The gate master will not forgive you!!!” Tu Jie howled in despair amidst the storm of wind blades.
His defenses were quickly cut apart by the whirling wind blades. In just half a breath’s time, countless cracks had appeared. The sound of those blades slicing through air sounded like the laughter of a death god.
Tu Jie was in despair.
Just then, a strange turn of events occurred. A spear with a divine diagram of the sun and moon carved onto it pierced out of the void. The wind blades were blown apart.
Black mist surged out. A figure came walking out of the mist and stood before Tu Jie.
“Many thanks, master Ying Luo!”
Tu Jie was relieved and overjoyed to see who it was. He immediately shouted at Long Chen, “Master Ying Luo is our Immortal Ascension Gate’s strongest expert other than the gate master! Now you’re definitely dead!”
Ying Luo was the one sent by Li Yifu to investigate who had killed Li Mingdao and capture the killer.
“Finally, a decent opponent!” Long Chen nodded at the newcomer. “Well... only decent, but you’ll do for now.”
“You...!” Tu Jie pointed at him and was about to curse him, but Ying Luo raised an arm to stop him.
“I hear that you're very powerful, and very arrogant. You really do have guts. You actually killed the junior master of the Immortal Ascension Gate!” said Ying Luo. His voice was ancient and gravelly; it was very uncomfortable to listen to.
“I’m strong, so I can afford to be arrogant. Naturally, I have guts. What’s the problem with that?” asked Long Chen indifferently. He took a single step forward, crossing the battlefield to face Ying Luo.
This man was truly powerful. Even though they were all technically triple-manifestation Divine Sovereigns, his aura was qualitatively on a different level compared to Tu Jie and the others.
“Yes, you do have guts. Are you not planning on having your friend with the Heavenly Devil Zither join in?” asked Ying Luo.
“Trying to provoke me? Well, you have succeeded. Let’s do as you wish. Zi Yan, let’s kill him together!” sneered Long Chen.
The sound of a zither echoed in response, and the next moment, Zi Yan’s figure appeared behind Ying Luo and Tu Jie.
“You...!” Ying Luo was startled. Long Chen was not acting as he had expected. Obviously, he had tried to trap Long Chen with words precisely because he didn’t want to fight Zi Yan. After all, that was the Heavenly Devil Zither. Who wasn’t afraid of such a thing?
To his dismay, Zi Yan wasted no time joining in. She had the Heavenly Devil Zither in front of her. With one pluck of a string, the surrounding space collapsed. A sound blade sliced through the sky, infinitely stronger compared to the attack that had killed those three triple-manifestation Divine Sovereigns. The sound blade reached Ying Luo and Tu Jie before they could even blink.
Ying Luo roared and raised his spear. The sun and moon divine runes lit up. The tip of the spear accurately struck the sound blade.
BOOM!
The sound blade exploded, causing spatial runes to fly about. Ying Luo grunted and was knocked back several steps. As for Tu Jie, the terrifying power caused him to once more hack up blood.
Just then, Ying Luo sensed a sharp killing intent. He almost instinctively dodged to the side, and just as he moved away, Long Chen appeared where he had just stood.
Tu Jie was coughing up blood, still dazed. Just as he wanted to speak to Ying Luo, he saw Long Chen standing there in his place.
“Brother, you’re bleeding! Let me help you stop the blood!” said Long Chen generously.
Tu Jie didn’t even have time to respond. His body instinctively fled by itself. A moment later, he felt a chill on the back of his neck. It felt itchy, and also a bit painful.
“Tu Jie!”
Hearing Ying Luo’s shout from a distance, Tu Jie suddenly felt that something was wrong. He looked back toward Long Chen, only to see Long Chen looking at him with a sinister grin.
Not far from Long Chen, a blood-colored saber was floating in the air. When he saw that saber, Tu Jie immediately rubbed his own neck. He felt something sticky spurting out.
Blood suddenly gushed out of his neck, and the world in his vision began to spin. As it spun, he suddenly saw a familiar figure right next to him. But that figure was missing something... a head, to be specific. He vaguely understood what had happened as his mind descended into darkness.
“This person is strange. Help me restrain him!” transmitted Long Chen to Zi Yan. He then walked towards the enraged Ying Luo.
