Chapter 786: Deceit
Mobile Read
When he stepped out of the gate of light, Long Chen immediately saw the Underground Golden Spider King guarding nearby. At this moment, it immediately became alert when it saw Long Chen coming out, its eyes staring fixedly at him. .
Long Chen once again took out his identification card and pointed it at this frightening fellow. Now, it could be said that this dragon’s scale was the proof of entry.
Indeed, as Long Chen held onto the dragon’s scale, the Underground Golden Spider King immediately tensed up and slowly retreated backwards. It was extremely fearful of the dragon’s scale.
Long Chen chuckled. This talisman was just too cool. He slowly walked around the Underground Golden Spider King. When he arrived at the passageway, he was overjoyed to find that the mysterious force had disappeared.
Actually, what Long Chen didn’t know was that once he entered the final reward position, it was equivalent to passing the test. However, normally, people who passed the test would either kill a guardian beast or pass the test of a mechanism to obtain the reward.
Long Chen carefully walked out of the cave. When he was about to approach the cave entrance, Long Chen suddenly stopped moving. He didn’t move because he heard sounds coming from outside.
"As expected of Sir Xue You. He actually passed the advanced trial and returned with the high-grade Transcending Mortality Essence," an evil expert praised.
“Unfortunately, the high-grade Transcending Mortality Liquid isn’t that much. Many of them flow into the ground, making people’s hearts ache. However, there’s still about a thousand drops. The rewards are indeed great.”
A thousand drops? Tsk, this can be considered to be a huge gain. Can a thousand drops of you compare with my hundred barrels of water?
Long Chen sneered in his heart. However, Long Chen’s sneer was filled with envy because he didn’t know that he had obtained the top-grade Transcending Mortality Liquid from entering the top-grade trial.
"Lord Xue You, did you encounter any danger inside?"
“We’ve indeed met with danger. There’s actually an early Class 7 Magical Beast hidden inside. Luckily, it’s a Bloodthirsty Greed. It was restrained by my technique, but it was only killed after suffering a little injury.” Xue You said.
Long Chen was shocked. Xue You was indeed powerful, and that Bloodthirsty Greed was also an ancient beast with great battle power. It was just that it was not as terrifying as the Underground Golden Spider King or the Scarlet Sacred Blood Phoenix.
However, Xue You had only suffered a little injury and was able to kill it. This proved how terrifying Xue You was.
“How was your harvest?” Xue You’s voice rang out, clearly asking the others.
“A total of more than ten people have entered, but only seven have returned. Those who have entered the intermediate level trial haven’t come out alive,” one of them answered somewhat guiltily.
“It doesn’t matter. Life and death are intertwined. If they can’t come back alive, I can only say that their lives are not strong enough,” Xue You said faintly.
"Since this Long Chen has entered the top tier smelting trial, he should have died a long time ago. What should we do now?" An evil disciple asked.
Long Chen’s eyes immediately widened. Only now did he realize that he had entered a top-tier training cave. No wonder there was a peak seventh step Golden Spider King waiting for him here.
Thinking of his own luck, Long Chen had the impulse to curse at the heavens. But thinking of it, he couldn’t complain. If he didn’t enter the top trial, where he would most likely die, then how could he obtain this top-grade Transcending Mortality Liquid?
"Everyone, rest first. Help me guard me while I try to consume the high-grade Transcending Mortality Liquid and see if I can break through that barrier and enter the fourth-grade Skywalker."
“Hmph, if I were to enter the fourth level of Heaven’s Treader, I will definitely turn the blood of the righteous path of the Eastern Wastelands into a river and use their blood essence to forge my Underworld Flag.” Then, the sound of the bottle opening could be heard.
Long Chen couldn’t see the scene and didn’t dare to use his spiritual sense to observe. He knew that this bastard was probably opening the bottle and drinking the high-grade Transcending Mortality Liquid.
Long Chen wasn’t a Skywalker, so he didn’t know what effects the Transcending Mortality Liquid had on Skywalker, but hearing that Xue You wanted to use it to advance to a fourth-grade Skywalker gave him a fright.
“Fine, I’ll help you!”
Long Chen’s heart skipped a beat. A cold smile appeared on his face. ‘Your father is now a tiger that has fallen to the sun. I can’t be this proud of myself. That’s not my style!’
Long Chen was the most aggrieved in his life. It was a curse that made Long Chen feel as if he was the impotent one of the legends. He was dispirited and weak. He clearly wanted to fight, but was unable to do so.
Seeing that fellow trying to break through in this place, if Long Chen did not give him a gift, would he still be called Long Chen?
Long Chen turned around and walked away. When he came to the fork in the road, he realized that he was stunned. He had forgotten which hole he came out from. He finally found out which hole he came out of through the smell trail and returned to his own cave.
Very quickly, he found the Underground Golden Spider King and said, “Brother, let’s go. I’ll take you for a stroll!”
Long Chen took out the dragon’s scale and walked towards the Underground Golden Bead King. Seeing that Long Chen had come back twice, it was a little dazed.
It was obvious that its intelligence was not much higher than that of ordinary spiders. However, it was afraid of the dragon’s scale in Long Chen’s hand. It was an instinctive fear. There was something on the dragon’s scale that it feared from the depths of its soul.
As Long Chen moved forward, it pushed back, and at the same time, the two spider legs in front of it opened wide, ready to attack.
However, Long Chen didn’t pay any attention to it. If a Demon Beast with such low intelligence wanted to attack, it would immediately pounce on them. Once it assumed a attacking posture, it would signify its fear.
At this time, Long Chen didn’t move. If they got too close, the magical beast would think that you were attacking because it was afraid. Long Chen didn’t plan to fight it.
Sure enough, Long Chen stopped moving and it continued to retreat. As it retreated, Long Chen slowly moved forward and the Underground Golden Spider King was forced out of the cave by Long Chen. However, its speed was extremely slow.
“Alright. Protect me. I’m going to start refining the Transcending Mortality Liquid.” Xue You said solemnly to the few of them within the large hall of the cave.
“Yes. Milord, don’t worry!”
Currently, there were only Xue You and the seven Rank Two Skywalker’s inside the hall. Two of them were hiding in the shadows, guarding the entrance to the cave.
This was the mission of the two of them, from the moment they entered to the moment they left. The two of them had to guard this place and kill everyone who entered if they saw one, then they could preserve the secret of this trial ground.
Xue You nodded. There were seven Tier 2 Skywalker here, as well as two Tier 2 Skywalker guarding outside. There was absolutely no one who would disturb him. He could refine them without worry.
Xue You swallowed a large amount of the high-grade Transcendence Elixir, almost occupying half of the total. His hands formed a seal in front of his chest, and just as he was about to gather his energy and begin meditating, he suddenly heard a sound from a cave.
He only saw a ten-foot-long spider walking out from the hole. It was extremely strange, its entire body a golden color, as if it was a puppet made of gold.
"Underground Golden Spider? “It’s actually so small!”
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, a Second Tier Skywalker unsheathed his sword. A biting cold sword aura sliced through the air, slashing towards the Underground Golden Spider.
"Boom!"
That sword attack was extremely powerful, capable of instantly killing an ordinary Skywalker. However, when it struck the back of the Underground Golden Spider, not a single trace was left.
The Underground Golden Spider was the one that had been forced out of the cave by Long Chen. It had been focusing all its attention on the dragon scales in Long Chen’s hands and had not noticed anyone else.
However, the moment that person attacked, it immediately became enraged. Earlier, it had been forced back by Long Chen and was already on the verge of going berserk. However, it was afraid of the dragon’s scale, so it endured.
When that person chopped out with his saber, they were surprised to find that this small Underground Golden Spider was not injured at all.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, there was an explosive sound. The originally ten feet large Underground Golden Spider King suddenly exploded a thousand times in size. It was like a golden mountain as its gigantic spider leg pierced towards everyone like the spear of a god.
"What?"
Even Xue You’s expression changed. After the Underground Golden Spider King had grown big, the aura of a peak seventh step magical beast immediately burst forth.
Previously in the cave, the space was too small, so it was too inconvenient to move around. That was why it could only shrink its body. Only a magical beast at the peak of the seventh step would be able to freely change the size of its body. Now that the space was enlarged, it no longer had any scruples as it charged at the group of people who were trying to provoke it.
"Retreat!"
Xue You let out a loud shout and retreated backwards explosively. However, there was one fellow who retreated a little too slowly and did not have enough time to dodge. He let out a loud shout and the runes on his body exploded as he desperately blocked the weapon in his hand.
Puff.
"Boom!"
That evil second rank Skywalker was killed in one strike, while that spider leg continued its assault and stabbed into the ground, creating a huge crater in the ground. Earth and soil flew everywhere in an astonishing manner.
“Good fellow, you’re truly savage!”
Long Chen hid inside the cave and peeked outside. The Underground Golden Spider King unleashed its divine might and instantly killed a second grade Skywalker.
In front of it, that second level Skywalker was no different from an ant. It was easily crushed to death. The moment it appeared, it immediately became a complete mess. It was truly a great experience.
F * ck, Xue You, you bullied your father, but I cursed you, causing your strength to plummet. You wanted to posture, but you couldn’t? Then you shamelessly used your strength to suppress me.
At this moment, Long Chen felt exhilarated. However, Xue You was a peerless powerhouse. He could tell the terror of the Underground Golden Spider King with a single glance. Even if he wanted to, he couldn’t figure out how this horrifying guy came out.
"All of you, retreat! Do not fight back!"
"Buzz!"
Xue You was shouting at everyone to retreat. He could see that besides himself, no one else had the ability to block even a single attack. If this went on, all of them would die.
It was a huge net that the Underground Golden Spider King had spat out. It was too fast and there was no warning. Its area was too large, covering an area of thousands of feet. Even Blood Nether was covered.
"This is bad!"
Xue You’s expression changed. He was shocked to discover that there was a thick, emerald liquid on the web. It was definitely poisonous.
Xue You’s hands formed a seal. Suddenly, a white light flew out from the third eye in between his brows. It was like a waterfall, cutting a hole in the spider web. The wings behind his back trembled, and he had already escaped through the net.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH … …"
A series of blood-curdling screams rang out. Xue You turned around and couldn’t help but have his expression drastically change.
Chapter 787 - Nether King’s Blood Curse

When those evil experts touched the spider web, they immediately began to rot. Their speed was so fast that it was shocking. In an instant, half of their bodies were gone. .
"Hurry up and use your Heavenly Dao to aid your injuries!" Xue You yelled angrily.
"Master… “We can’t …”
Boom! *
That person fell onto the ground. He only spoke half of his sentence before he died completely. Moreover, his entire body became a pile of rotten flesh as he fell to the ground, immediately breaking into pieces. Even his bones were like mud; it was extremely terrifying.
bang bang bang *
Three of them fell to the ground consecutively. Just like the previous person, they all died horribly under the spider web.
The remaining people were deathly pale. They didn’t use their weapons to touch the spider web, which was why they were able to escape the calamity.
The reason for that was because the sticky liquid on the spider web would immediately burst into mist the moment it came into contact with a weapon. The four people from before had been poisoned by the mist.
They had used their Heavenly Law Talismans to create a domain to resist the spider web. However, after the spider web enveloped them, they began to rapidly shrink. To their horror, they discovered that their domain was actually rapidly shrinking. It would not be able to endure for long.
“Don’t be afraid, I’ll save you!”
These were all Xue You’s subordinates.He could not watch them die tragically. Just as they were about to activate their vertical eye, the light in his eyes, which was not a physical attack, could safely cut open the spider web.
"Buzz!"
"What?"
Suddenly, space trembled, and a frightening oppressive might surged forth. The golden ocean that filled the sky surged toward Xue You like a violent wave. When Xue You saw the golden ocean clearly, his face instantly turned pale white.
Even Long Chen, who was hiding in the shadows, was frightened. In reality, the golden ocean was only a palm-sized scale. It was octagonal in shape and had a strange pattern on it.
It was the scales of the Underground Golden Spider King. Long Chen thought they were some sort of special armor, but he didn’t expect them to be a method of attack.
Tens of thousands of scales separated themselves from the Underground Golden Spider King’s body and flew towards Xue You and the others. The terrifying pressure tore through space and the whistling sound that broke through the air made Long Chen’s scalp tingle.
However, with so many rapidly spinning scales, if it were Long Chen, he would only be able to use the second style of the Split the Heavens, but even so, Long Chen knew that the chances of him surviving this attack were not high.
At this moment, Xue You’s expression changed drastically. He no longer cared about those few people, and with a roar, runes erupted from all over his body. The tri-colored runes formed the face of a demon behind him, and at the same time, a speck of light appeared in his vertical eye.
"Demonic Blood Body, Demon Eyes of Destruction!"
The demonic face behind Xue You instantly merged into his body. At the same time, he closed his eyes. Only his vertical eye opened and a blood-red light shot out from it.
Brilliant and resplendent, it slashed down toward the Underground Golden Spider King, emitting a pressure that seemed capable of shattering the Heavens.
"Boom!"
With an explosive sound, it collided with the scales, causing the entire cave to tremble. Some parts of the cave had already begun to collapse.
Long Chen was horrified. This Blood Serenity had such a terrifying combat strength. This strike was not inferior to the Split the Heavens Second Style that Long Chen was using with all his strength. It might even be stronger.
"Ji ji …"
After the explosion, the Underground Golden Spider King let out a strange cry. Its body was sent flying by the terrifying force. It crashed into the wall and collapsed half of the cave.
At this moment, Xue You’s face was as white as paper. That was his strongest attack, but what made him extremely shocked was that he only blocked part of the scales in front of him. The evil experts behind him had long since disappeared without a trace.
What shocked Xue You the most was that the scales didn’t shatter even after being struck by his strongest attack. Instead, they returned to the back of the Underground Golden Spider King.
Moreover, his strike just now had clearly split apart the sea of scales and cut into the skull of the Underground Golden Spider King. But now, he could see that there was only a faint mark on its head.
ji ji *
The Underground Golden Spider King suddenly let out an angry screech. It was obvious that this magical beast had gone berserk. It had vented all the grievances it had towards Long Chen onto Xue You. Whether it was a human or a magical beast, they both liked to pinch a soft persimmon.
"Hehe, interesting!" So interesting! " Long Chen secretly cheered for Xue You, his heart blooming with joy. He had been cursed just now, and the depressed feeling of a tiger falling down to the sun had completely dissipated.
Xue You saw that the Underground Golden Spider King hadn’t been harmed in the slightest. He took a deep breath, and a fierce look appeared on his face. He knew that if this continued, he would die for sure.
"Heroic Spirits from ancient times, please listen to the summons of your descendants. Their bloodlines will connect eternally, and their souls will connect through the ages …" Xue You actually began to solemnly chant.
Long Chen stared blankly as a bloody mist suddenly appeared on Xue You’s body. To Long Chen’s horror, it wasn’t a rune, but real blood. Xue You had actually used all the blood essence in his body as a guide to unleash a powerful technique.
As Xue You chanted, the blood mist around him grew denser and denser, finally forming the image of a demon.
It was the body of a demonic beast with a horn on its head and blood-red hair. It had two black holes in its eyes and a dagger in its mouth. It looked extremely lifelike, causing people’s scalps to go numb.
Long Chen had never seen such a scene before. One had to know that Zhong Wuyan’s ancestor soul was supporting him. That shadow was just a shadow, he couldn’t see anything clearly.
But the thing that Xue You summoned was actually like a real person. Long Chen could even feel the thick aura of death coming from it.
“Hades’ blood curse!”
Xue You suddenly shouted out. Long Chen discovered that the originally handsome Xue You was now like a zombie. There was not a single trace of blood on his body. It was as if all of his blood had been sucked out of him.
Following his stern shout, the demon behind him stretched out his hand and cut off his tongue. A stream of black blood flowed out.
Xue You quickly formed a seal with his hands, and the black blood immediately turned into a picture with a strong presence of death.
The moment the pattern was formed, Long Chen immediately felt his entire body turn cold. From head to toe, he had never seen such a terrifying technique.
It was not only Long Chen, but even the terrifying Underground Golden Spider King was trembling. It also felt a terrifying threat.
"Die, you beast!"
Xue You let out a furious roar. He moved his hand, and the pattern turned into a streak of black light, flying directly towards the Underground Golden Spider King.
"Ji!"
The Underground Golden Spider King let out a scream and quickly dodged the black light. However, no matter how much it tried to dodge the black light, it was still hit in the head by the black light.
However, what surprised Long Chen the most was that when the black light collided with the Golden Spider King’s skull, it suddenly exploded into pieces without any trace of power.
ji ji ji … *
The Golden Bead King laid on the ground as it screamed crazily. Its spider legs danced crazily and the ground crumbled. The entire cave trembled non-stop as Long Chen was worried that the cave would collapse.
Because the cave was supported by symbols, it was extremely sturdy. However, if it collapsed and was buried, then the only road left for him would be death.
The Underground Golden Spider King only struggled a few times before it suddenly straightened its body and stopped moving. Long Chen was shocked to discover that it was already dead.
This was just too terrifying. One had to know that this was a magical beast at the peak of the seventh step. Even if its head had been crushed, it wouldn’t have died so quickly.
“Fuck, it’s that damn curse again!”
Long Chen immediately understood that this was a curse of death. It was different from the weakened curse that he had received, as it could directly curse his opponent to death.
A Class 7 Magical Beast had such a strong life force, yet it couldn’t withstand this kind of curse. Who in the world could resist this kind of curse?
Thinking of this, Long Chen felt his scalp tingle. This sort of attack method was too terrifying. Luckily, this curse had a long lead time and was easily broken. Otherwise, he would have been able to run as far away as he could.
After Xue You finished casting the Nether King’s blood curse, he began to pant madly. At this moment, two figures were rapidly closing in.
"How are you, Lord Xue You?" Qin Lie asked.
The two of them were originally hiding in the tunnel outside the cave, preparing to ambush the incoming cultivators. Thus, they were able to escape this calamity.
This was because everything happened too quickly. By the time they could react, the battle had already ended. Not to mention that this level of battle was not something that they could participate in.
“I’m fine,” Xue You said.
However, from the sound of his voice, it was obvious that he was lacking in confidence. His face was as pale as a corpse. It was obvious that he had paid a heavy price for the Hades’ blood curse.
Even his vertical eye was tightly shut, and fresh blood was seeping out from it, flowing down along his nose.
One of the evil disciples next to him was shocked and hastily took out a handkerchief.
Xue You took the handkerchief and wiped off the blood around his vertical eye. "My demonic eye suffered a backlash from the King of Hell’s blood curse, but it’s not a loss to be able to kill the Golden Spider King, a descendant of an ancient bloodline. His crystal core is a treasure, it can be embedded into a treasure, allowing it to level up.
Furthermore, the scales on the body of the Golden Pearl King is a natural born magical equipment, naturally formed runes. Even if one is not a Soul Cultivator, he or she can control them and become extremely sharp.
"Many thanks, Sir Xue You!" The two evil experts were overjoyed. The materials for magic tools were extremely rare. They had clearly seen the scale attack from the Underground Golden Spider King. They knew that these were definitely precious treasures.
“Since they’re all dead, that only shows that their lives aren’t tough enough. Luck can sometimes be a type of strength. In the future, if you guys follow me, I won’t treat you unfairly!” Xue You said.
Those two were originally not Xue You’s subordinates, but they belonged to the same evil path. Now that Xue You said this, the two were immediately overjoyed. With such a powerful and limitless potential, they would be able to go even further in the future.
With that, Xue You led the two of them toward the body of the Underground Golden Spider. Just as Xue You reached the giant body of the Underground Golden Spider, a sharp beam pierced toward his back like a rainbow piercing through the sun.
Puff.
The sharp blade pierced through his chest, and with an earth-shattering force, his flesh and blood was smashed into smithereens.
Chapter 788 - A Fair War
Mobile Read
Long ago, when Xue You killed the Underground Golden Spider Queen, Long Chen had already planned for this. He sneaked in from behind and hid under the fangs of the Underground Golden Spider King. He thought that Xue You would cut off the crystal core first. .
This was because the corpses of peak Class 7 Magical Beasts could not be stored in any spatial ring, especially the scales on its back. They were self-made runes and were ready-made soul tools.
But soul tool grade space rings are very rare, because most soul weapons can only be used by soul cultivators, and soul cultivators all have their own soul space, they can directly take the soul tool into their soul space, and when in combat, they can directly summon it, when not fighting, they can use their soul to nourish them, making them more spiritual and powerful.
Indeed, Long Chen’s guess was correct. Xue You headed straight for the head of the Underground Golden Spider King. Long Chen concealed all of his aura to the extreme as he quietly took out his saber from Xue You’s back.
In order to conceal his killing intent, Long Chen hypnotized himself. He fantasized that he wasn’t trying to kill someone, but was slowly stabbing into the air. This was the first time Long Chen had seen an assassin.
Everything was so perfect. However, when the tip of the saber was three inches away from Xue You’s back, Long Chen still failed. Xue You was able to sense it.
Right at that moment, as Xue You felt it, Long Chen no longer hesitated. The long sword was like lightning as it stabbed into his body. The moment it stabbed into his body, all of his strength was released without restraint.
Puff.
A bloody light filled the sky, but Long Chen was scared out of his wits. He was obviously trying to kill Xue You, but the moment the long blade stabbed into his body, Xue You’s body strangely switched positions with an evil expert beside him.
The person killed by Long Chen was merely a Level 2 Evil Realm cultivator. As for the real Xue You, he was looking at Long Chen with shock and anger.
“Long Chen, you’re still alive!”
"Phew!"
What answered him was a long blade covered in blood. The edge of the blade was biting cold and the momentum was soaring to the heavens. At this time, another evil being roared and swung his weapon at Long Chen.
He knew that Xue You was currently in an extremely weak state. He had to do his best to protect Xue You.
"Pa!"
The moment Long Chen’s long blade made contact with the evil expert’s weapon, it immediately exploded.
As it turned out, the longblade in Long Chen’s hand was only an ordinary weapon. This was because a magical equipment carried a killing intent, and unlike the killers from the Blood Slaughter Hall, he didn’t know how to restrain them. If he wanted to ambush someone like Xue You, the moment he revealed his weapon, he would be discovered.
However, in the end, he still failed. Moreover, those that failed were a bit confused. Until now, he still hadn’t been able to figure out how Xue You did it.
If it was a normal weapon, once it met a magical tool, it would immediately explode. The evil expert couldn’t help but be stunned. He didn’t think that Long Chen’s weapon would be so weak. The follow-up moves that he had prepared would be useless in an instant.
Puff.
The weapon in Long Chen’s right hand shattered. However, he had already expected this outcome. In his left hand, a long spear made of lightning pierced into the chest of the evil expert.
In terms of battle experience, even vicious evil experts couldn’t compare to Long Chen. Long Chen’s speed in changing his techniques had already reached the Grandmaster Realm.
"Bang!"
An explosive sound rang out. At first, he thought that he would be able to completely shatter the man, but it did not have the desired effect. The man’s chest had now been blasted into a large hole.
Only then did Long Chen remember that in the cave before, Lei Long and Long Hao had used their full strength. Their strength was less than 10%, and the power of the curse on his body had not yet been removed.
"Aooo!"
Suddenly, Snowy appeared behind Long Chen’s back with her mouth wide open. A wind blade ball ruthlessly smashed into the big hole on the evil being’s chest.
Puff.
That evil expert didn’t even have the slightest chance to resist before he was killed instantly by Little Snow.
The current Little Snow didn’t have the ability to kill Skywalker, let alone a second grade Skywalker.
From the shattering of the weapon to the switching of the spear of thunder to Snowy’s attack, everything had been completed in one fell swoop with no gaps in between. Long Chen didn’t need to think about it. Everything was so natural that he could use it.
After Little Snow wind blades, the evil expert turned into blood mist. Even in his weakest state, Little Snow power could not be ignored.
Long Chen looked at Xue You, who was still in shock, and said faintly, “I’ve been cursed, and you’ve also lost a lot of strength. Now we can have a fair fight!”
After Long Chen finished speaking, he immediately recalled Snowy back into his soul space. He didn’t want Snowy to take the risk because the opponent was Xue You. Who knew what else he could do?
"Phew!"
Long Chen held an iron spear in his hands. It was the weapon that Long Chen had used to fight those Golden Spiders. It was quite heavy, and without a weapon to use, it was the most suitable weapon.
"Boom!"
Xue You suddenly took out a pitch-black longsword and collided with Long Chen’s spear. With an explosive sound, the two were forced back a dozen steps.
“Hehe, I have the advantage in physical weapons. Since you have the advantage in weapons, now that everyone is equal, let’s have a fair fight!”
Long Chen coldly shouted, his fighting spirit overflowing. The ink-black sword in Xue You’s hand was definitely a treasure. That strike just now had made his wrist numb.
That power did not come from Xue You. Instead, it came from the black sword in his hand. Long Chen had suffered a great loss when it came to weapons.
Long Chen was secretly shocked. This Xue You was truly powerful. He had countless cards in his hands. If he was at his peak state, the treasure in his hands would emit an even more terrifying power. If he could summon the power of a treasure, then he might actually be able to kill him.
boom boom boom *
Xue You didn’t say anything. His jet-black sword danced in his hand as he fought fiercely with Long Chen. Both of them were experienced in battle and fought with all their might.
Xue You was clearly an expert in sword-arts. His longsword would occasionally swing open and close, while other times, dangerous peaks would rise and fall. His sword-arts would change endlessly, and his sword-arts would be extremely profound.
However, Long Chen waved his long spear. Although Long Chen didn’t usually use it, he knew that this kind of long-handled weapon didn’t specialize in defense or offense. It didn’t use too much gravity and didn’t fight with his moves.
However, what Long Chen was shocked about was that regardless of whether it was spirit essence, strength, techniques, or experience, Xue You was flawless. He was definitely a true expert that had slaughtered his way out.
"Boom!"
With an explosive sound, Dragon Chen struck out with all his might. Xue You blocked it with all his might, causing the earth to shake and dust to fly into the air. Suddenly, a Thunder and a Long Hao flew out, intertwining with each other as they charged at Xue You.
Seeing that Long Chen was still able to use this move, Xue You couldn’t help but be shocked. He hastily spat a mouthful of blood on his black longsword and formed a black barrier in front of his body to block the two dragons.
Just as Xue You was using all his strength to resist the two giant dragons, they suddenly disappeared. Xue You’s expression changed and he hastily dodged to the side.
Puff.
The long spear still pierced through his back, leaving a bloody hole on his body.
So Long Chen was planning on killing him in one strike. He discovered that Xue You was too strong. If he kept him around, it would bring trouble to the people around him.
Before, Duo Long Heavenly Sky Breaker had only been putting on an act. This was because the power of the twin dragons was no longer able to intimidate everyone present. In truth, the move he had just used was nothing more than a show to scare others.
Xue You didn’t know that. He thought that Long Chen had kept his killing move, but he had been tricked. He squeezed out a bit of his blood essence, and the burden on his body became even more severe.
Long Chen used the cover up of Lei Long and Long Hao to use the Netherworld Ghost Shadow Steps to circle behind Xue You and unleash his ultimate attack.
If he was at his peak condition, it would be very difficult for him to succeed. However, Xue You’s stamina had been greatly reduced and his spiritual sense had also been misled by Lei Long and Long Hao, so Long Chen’s sneak attack was successful.
However, even though his sneak attack had succeeded, Xue You’s body was extremely strange. The condensed and unreleased power on the tip of the Dragon Spear had actually been greatly weakened after piercing into Xue You’s body.
It was like a pack of gunpowder suddenly being extinguished by the water. Otherwise, Xue You would have already turned into a corpse.
Even so, a large hole was pierced through Xue You’s back. His blood and flesh were turned upside down, but not much blood flowed out. This was because his blood was almost completely drained.
"Despicable!"
Xue You looked at the wound on his chest and gritted his teeth as he looked at Long Chen. His eyes were filled with killing intent.
"Despicable? Why is it so sarcastic when these words come out of your mouth? Are you qualified to say that?
You are, after all, a person with a lot of reputation. While I was cursed, you used half of your battle prowess to counter my attacks. In the end, you lost.
Then, you became angry from embarrassment and used a technique to kill me. Aren’t you despicable? Even though you are in a weakened state, I have also been cursed. We have also experienced a cruel battle, so our fighting strength is basically on the same level.
As for you, you still have a treasure to protect your body, but I don’t have anything. “Hehe, before this, I even respected you as a genius, but now, I’ve discovered that I was wrong. You’re an idiot!”
Long Chen smiled coldly as he pointed his long spear at Xue You. His fighting spirit rose as he thrust the spear toward Xue You, bringing with it a strong wind.
Even though Long Chen was already exhausted to death due to the corrosion of the curse, he still forced himself to stay alert. He knew that this was the best opportunity to kill Xue You. If he didn’t kill him today, he would worry about him in the future.
"Boom!"
Xue You’s pitch-black sword cut down on Long Chen’s spear. Xue You was pushed back several dozen feet when he suddenly spat out another mouthful of blood onto the pitch-black sword.
The longsword suddenly vibrated with a hum. Long Chen gripped his spear with both hands and was completely alert. There was definitely something strange about that longsword.
“Long Chen, you can consider yourself lucky today. My Qi and blood are insufficient and my spirit essence is exhausted. There are many methods that I cannot use. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be my match for ten moves.”
“But I only have one chance. The next time I see you, I’ll personally behead you!” Xue You said before suddenly forming a seal. The pitch-black sword moved and quickly flew out, disappearing along with Xue You.
Long Chen couldn’t help but be taken aback. Just how many moves did Xue You have up his sleeve? That pitch-black sword had actually managed to take Xue You away.
Long Chen sighed in his heart. In the end, he was the one who escaped. It was really depressing, as he had too many cards up his sleeves.
Long Chen didn’t have that much time to regret, so he quickly collected the Underground Golden Spider King’s corpse into the Primal Chaos Dimension.
After cleaning up the battlefield again, he took away the weapons of the evil realm experts and the spatial ring and left. This was not a place to stay for long.

After leaving the cave, Long Chen carefully made his way through two areas. Looking at the map, he found a wider plate and ran towards it.
This place had already deviated from the ancient path. Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be any opportunities here. The reason why Long Chen chose this place was to avoid other experts.
Now that he had been cursed and fought so many battles, he was already exhausted. Be it physically or mentally, he felt discouraged. This curse was too hateful. It was like an illness that was torturing others.
That kind of weakness, exhaustion, and passivity was like a paste medicine made from dog skin that stuck to your entire body. No matter how much you threw it away, you couldn’t shake it off no matter how you looked at it.
Long Chen swore that in the future, he would not be tainted by this kind of nonsense. Last time, it was Long Chen who was careless, but in reality, when that person used the Curse Technique, Long Chen would definitely have time to interrupt or summon a Lei Long to completely isolate that strange rune.
However, the blood curse was too terrifying. Long Chen felt that this strange move was simply impossible to block. He could either interrupt it or escape.
Even a Class 7 Magical Beast, the Underground Golden Spider King, had been cursed to death. What could possibly stop it?
It was a pity that he couldn’t kill Xue You this time. He was just a bit off from a good opportunity in the future. When they met again in the future, it would definitely be a world shocking battle.
However, Long Chen wasn’t afraid of him. Long Chen had been cursed before because his spirit essence didn’t have enough cohesion. He couldn’t summon his spirit ring or battle form. Otherwise, Long Chen wouldn’t have suffered so much.
Now that his body was too weak, Long Chen didn’t dare to run around anymore. He discovered that his luck was getting worse and worse. If he were to run into a strong enemy in this situation, he would really be screwed.
An extremely vast forest appeared before him. Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be any trials in this sort of place. Ordinary cultivators wouldn’t be interested in this place.
Long Chen entered the forest and specially found a very hidden cave. After confirming that there were no magical beasts living here, he decided to stay there.
After being cursed at by such an annoying curse, Long Chen couldn’t do anything, so he just started to eat the pills. After eating like this for three days, Ascending Palace started to shake.
This filled Long Chen’s heart with anticipation. The Nine Star Tyrant Body Technique could only summon the complete Divine Ring and Astral Battle Physique after each mastery of the Nine Star Tyrant Body Technique. That was the ultimate combat power.
Three days later, Long Chen suddenly felt his body lighten. The sickly and weak feeling suddenly disappeared as his body was once again brimming with power.
It was like someone who was obsessed with cleanliness, whose entire body was covered in mud. Finally, the filth on his body was washed away. That feeling of comfort made Long Chen want to cry, the feeling of returning to strength was too great.
The curse disappeared, but Long Chen had understood the evil ways of this time. In the future, when he met someone like this, he would have to kill him no matter the cost. Otherwise, it would be too unbearable.
"Hu hu"
After a few punches, he confirmed that his body’s strength had completely recovered. Moreover, because he had entered the Star Condensation Three Transformations, his strength had clearly increased once again.
Long Chen took out the map and looked at it to determine the direction. He had deviated from the main road and needed to correct his deviation.
As they went over two hills, two figures suddenly appeared in front of them. Long Chen was startled and hastily hid himself in a big tree.
They were two Skywalkers, but what surprised Long Chen was that these two Skywalkers were very young, only fifteen or sixteen years old.
The two of them were a man and a woman. They wore strange clothing that Long Chen had never seen before. It was very ancient.
At this moment, the two youths’ faces were filled with panic as they ran for their lives. Moreover, there was a layer of light around them.
Long Chen realized that the light wasn’t a secret art. It was like a curse, constantly consuming their strength.
“Big brother Xiao Fei, quickly run. I’ll stop them!” The young girl suddenly stopped.
"Are you joking? How can I let you stop them?" The young man was furious. He grabbed the girl and continued to run.
At this moment, Long Chen saw five figures rapidly approaching. They were all dressed in evil robes and were impressively the five evil realm experts. However, they were all ordinary Tier 1 Skywalkers.
The young girl was so anxious that she was on the verge of tears. “Now that the Eternal Road has been opened, we are restricted by it. We cannot use our full strength. If this goes on, we won’t be able to escape. I …”
“Don’t waste your breath. If you want to die, then die together. Let’s let you defend me. If I’m alive, it’s better that I die!” The youth had a resolute expression.
Their speed was obviously slower than the five evil experts. Seeing that they could not escape, the teenager stopped running and took out a sword to block the girl. He coldly stared at the five of them.
The young girl also had a long sword in her hand. Long Chen took a glance at it. The two swords in their hands were both low-grade spiritual tools, and their quality wasn’t high.
Long Chen was puzzled. These two were so young and had actually advanced to the Xiantian, and were even Tier 1 Skywalker. Why were they holding such lousy people? What kind of sect was so stingy?
“Hahahaha, our luck is too good. We actually caught two aboriginals. Everyone, let’s go and capture them alive. We can exchange them for treasures with our clansmen.” An evil being laughed out loud.
"Forget about this man. We need to try out this woman and play with the natives. Hehe, this is a once in a million years opportunity …" Another evil expert looked at the woman with a lustful look.
"You bunch of damned intruders, go to hell!"
The teenager was enraged. He waved the sword in his hand and a beam of light cut through the air, heading straight for the evil expert.
Once the sword appeared, it suddenly released three sword flowers that formed a "grade" shape, smashing towards the evil being. The sword flowers looked real and illusory, it was extremely exquisite, it was a sword technique Long Chen had never seen before.
However, the moment the youth made his move, Long Chen let out a sigh. He was just an ordinary person with a rigid body. From a glance, one could tell that he was a rookie without much experience in combat.
"Boom!"
With a muffled sound, the evil expert’s weapon went straight for the youth’s Middle Palace. He did not pay any attention to the sword flowers, as it was necessary to attack and save the enemy.
In terms of battle experience, that youth was far from an evil expert. Only one of them had made a move, forcing the youth to back off in one move.
Seeing this, the young lady was shocked, she raised her sword and attacked the evil expert, protecting the young man, even though the two of them were fighting, they were still forced back by the evil expert.
That evil expert could clearly defeat his opponent in just a few moves, but they were not in a hurry to defeat their opponent. Instead, they forced their opponent to counterattack.
This was exactly what Long Chen wanted. Long Chen, like them, wanted to see just what was so scary about these aboriginals. Why did they have to be careful of these aboriginals, whether it was Shui Wuhen or Ouyang Qiuyu?
The evil being forced the two of them to retreat, and there was someone beside who had already activated Mirage Jade, recording the battle, obviously wanting to obtain something from the other party’s method of fighting.
"Bastard!"
The youth also saw the evil expert who had activated Mirage Jade. Suddenly, he slashed at the neck of the young girl beside him. Long Chen could not help but be shocked.
After which, he understood that the young man wanted to kill the young girl first so that she wouldn’t be humiliated. Evidently, he was also prepared to take his own life.
“You want to die? Heh heh, it won’t be that easy!”
The evil being sneered, the weapon in his hand suddenly trembled, and shattered the young man’s sword. At the same time, the other evil being took action and seized the sword, the young lady’s sword, quickly capturing the two.
“He’s really weak!” An evil expert spat in disdain.
“If you weren’t restricted by the ancient path, you wouldn’t have been able to win against me.” After being captured, the youth’s face was filled with anger and hatred, just like a restrained wolf ready to bite at any moment.
“Enough, we don’t want your lives. We want to use your lives to exchange for something with your people.”
But before we do that, we need to be happy, little girl. Sorry about that, if you feel pain, you can just howl as much as you want, haha! " As he spoke, the evil expert began to take off his clothes.
"Bastard!"
The teenager’s eyes could not help but widen as he roared. However, his body was held down by the two evil experts, and he was unable to break free. The veins on his forehead bulged, like a mad beast.
"Pa!"
Suddenly, an evil expert made his move and slapped the youth hard in the face. The strong power caused the corner of his mouth to split open as blood flowed out. His handsome face was almost deformed.
However, the youngster didn’t care in the slightest and continued to struggle with all his might. As for the young girl, she was also struggling, but she was being suppressed by the two mighty Evil Skywalkers. Her struggles were so powerless, and tears rolled down her face.
"Hey, hey, take off your pants. Do you want to compare in size with me?"
Suddenly, a lazy voice came. The evil expert who had only taken half of his pants off and was about to reveal the key point suddenly froze and quickly raised his head.
It was unknown when a handsome man in a black robe appeared beside the crowd without a sound, as if he was a ghost from hell.
His sword-like eyebrows slightly raised and a faint light appeared in his eyes. He had a lazy smile on his face. His handsome face was matched with this warm smile. Regardless of man or woman, they all liked this kind of smile.
However, when the five evil realm experts saw this person, their scalps immediately burst and their hair fell to the ground. It was like a bucket of ice water had fallen from their heads and a cold chill ran down to their toes.
The evil expert who was taking off his pants didn’t dare to move at this moment. Fear filled his eyes, and even the hand holding his pants was trembling.
The young men and women who were desperately struggling to get free were now running to the side. The evil experts, no longer able to attend to them, could only look at the man in front of them with fear, their voices trembling uncontrollably.
"Long …" Long … “Long …"

Puff.
A cold light flashed and blood splashed out. The evil expert holding his pants was cut into two pieces by Long Chen’s saber. At the same time, his wrist turned and directly cut his upper body into a bloody mist. .
“Dragon your grandpa! Your father’s name is Long Chen, and you’re an endless dragon!?” Long Chen waved the long saber in his hand as he said somewhat impatiently.
As soon as Long Chen arrived, he used his terrifying killing intent to lock onto the five of them. This was also the reason why they didn’t dare to move. If they moved, it would attract Long Chen’s attention.
Towards evil experts, Long Chen’s principle was to kill one whenever he saw one, and not to feel any guilt when he saw two.
They believed in the Evil God, and they believed that the weak in the world were all vests of the strong. They could use them as they wished, and they could also be their cultivation tools.
This was because most of their cultivation methods were related to slaughter. They had been instilled with these thoughts for a long time, and their brains had been washed clean of their humanity. They were just a bunch of killing machines, and there was no need for guilt in killing them.
“Everyone’s busy. Do you want me to do it, or do it myself?” Long Chen lazily said as he hefted his broadsword over his shoulder.
This large blade was a high-grade magic tool that he had found in the spatial ring of the third grade Skywalker.
Those four people from the Skywalker Sect had pale faces. Long Chen was ranked number one on the Evil Killing List. In the entire Evil Dao, there was almost no one who didn’t know him.
Before they had entered the Eternal Road, the higher ups of the evil path had warned them that any disciple under the level of second grade Skywalker would run when they saw Long Chen for those who had the ability to escape. That was because they had no chance at all.
Only a Tier 3 Skywalker would have the strength to fight against Long Chen. If one wanted to win, only Xue You was able to do so. Therefore, the mission to kill Long Chen fell onto Xue You’s body.
From this, it could be seen that the importance that the evil way placed on Long Chen had already reached an unprecedented level. He was known as the genius who posed the greatest threat to the evil way in recent times.
“Don’t be so slow. Each of you has killed thousands of experts. When you first started cultivating, you massacred countless innocent mortals. How come it’s your turn? Why are you so reluctant?” Long Chen disdainfully said.
The cultivation methods, combat skills, and weapons of the evil disciples were all related to slaughter. When they first started cultivating, they used the killing of their disciples to pick the elites. The assessment was very simple.
Then, these elite disciples used the trial as an excuse to launch a war of righteousness and evil, to attack the commoners, using their blood and soul to raise their cultivation, hone their battle skills, and strengthen their weapons. At the same time, they also trained their nature of viewing human lives as grass, making them even more fearless.
However, there was no one who was not afraid of death. The bravery they displayed was all for others to see. When death truly descended on them, they were no different from mortals.
Although they killed countless people, taking their lives as well as seeing others struggle and appreciating the despair of others, when all of that happened to them, they would still feel panic, fear, and unwillingness.
Now that they were as strong as Long Chen and locked onto them with his killing intent, they did not even have a sliver of chance to escape. However, even so, they still deeply desired to live.
“Since you’re so attached to life, why are you so cold and disdainful when killing others?”
Long Chen’s expression turned cold, and he slowly raised the large blade in his hand. A terrifying killing intent surged into the sky, engulfing all the lands. The heavens and the earth rumbled, and his killing intent actually condensed into substance.
The young boys and girls in the distance couldn’t help but be astonished. Although Long Chen’s killing intent hadn’t locked onto them, they felt like ants in the face of his terrifying killing intent. They felt that they were too insignificant.
"Do you know? Those mortals you massacred also had parents and brothers, and also loved ones. In order to protect their loved ones, even though they knew that they would die, they still charged towards your sabers without hesitation.
At that time, did you ever think about today? Have you ever thought of today when you had the blood and souls of innocent people refined in your weapons?
When you moved about, slaying people with your sabers, and blood flowed everywhere, have you ever thought about today? "
He didn’t know why, but when he saw these four people clearly know that they were going to die, yet felt fear and loathing for their lives, Long Chen’s anger rose.
He thought back to the first time he had participated in the great war of the Righteous Evil Realm. Those immature faces that had followed him into the evil army, most of them had failed to survive.
He thought of the evil path that had been massacred, the corpses of civilians everywhere, his mother carrying her child, his husband protecting his wife, and his children standing in front of his elderly parents.
Since you ignore life, then you should ignore your own life. Now that they displayed their attachment to life, it made Long Chen even angrier.
"Die!"
Long Chen waved the long saber in his hand, and a terrifying blade edge sliced through the air, bringing with it a humongous saber shadow. It whistled through the air as the Qi waves swallowed the heavens.
“Don’t…”
poof poof poof poof *
Four loud sounds rang out as the four of them were chopped into pieces by Long Chen’s saber. A bloody mist filled the sky. This saber strike not only contained an earth-shaking power, but also contained an incomparable rage within Long Chen’s heart.
The wrong faith was a bastard who had messed up the entire world. It was scary to have no faith, but the wrong faith was even scarier.
After killing the four people, Long Chen took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. He wasn’t a god, so he couldn’t change this. He could only try his best to protect the people around him from harm in this chaotic world.
The pair of young men and women watched as Long Chen descended like a god, slashing down with one saber. The four powerful Skywalkers didn’t even have the strength to fight back in front of him. They couldn’t help but be scared pale.
Long Chen carried his long saber and slowly walked in front of the two of them. Although the young man was afraid, he clenched his teeth and stood in front of the young girl. He coldly looked at Long Chen.
They were natives, and to these invaders, they were their enemies. This kind of bloody slaughter had existed for countless years, and the hatred between the two of them was impossible to resolve. He never thought that Long Chen would let them go.
"Pa!"
Long Chen walked up to the youth and patted his shoulder. "Not bad, kid. Good for you guys. You have the demeanor of my youth."
Looking at him, Long Chen remembered the scene when he stood in front of Chu Yao. His heart was slightly moved. The him at that time was also that young and reckless.
Now that several years had passed, he had been trying his best to maintain his state of mind. However, when he saw this young man and woman, the scenes of the Phoenix Cry Empire flashed through his mind, and he couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.
Although Long Chen was now nineteen and had left the Phoenix Cry Empire for three whole years, these three years, he had experienced too many things and still looked young, but his heart was already worn out and he no longer had the feelings of a young person. Perhaps this was the price he had to pay for growing up.
"You … “You won’t kill us?” The youth looked at Long Chen with some uncertainty, but the young girl was trembling as she spoke.
"I have no reason to kill you." Long Chen shook his head.
“I don’t believe you. You must have some sort of scheme!” The youth looked at Long Chen with suspicion.
“Alright. I’ll prove it to you. I’ll show you and you will believe me.” Long Chen helplessly said.
"How?" The youth was stunned.
"Phew!"
Long Chen shook the broadsword on his shoulder and assumed a posture as if he was about to slash at someone. “I’ll kill you two and then you’ll believe that I really don’t have any plans!”
"No!" The young girl cried out in alarm.
“It’s just a joke, don’t make such a big fuss. Alright, I’ve wasted a lot of time. I must continue moving forward. Otherwise, the good cabbage will be trampled by a group of pigs.” Long Chen smiled, put away his sabre, clapped his hands, and turned around to leave.
"This is… "Big brother, please wait a moment!" The youth hesitated for a moment before suddenly speaking.
“What’s the matter?” Long Chen turned around and said.
The youth hesitated for a moment before clenching his teeth and said, "I want to ask you for a favor!"
"Help? “Are you crazy? Or am I stupid? We’re enemies!” Long Chen was speechless. This child was too whimsical. It was already a blessing that Long Chen didn’t kill them. He still needed Long Chen’s help.
"This big brother here, you are an invincible hero, peerless and unparalleled …" The youth said.
"Get to the point!" Long Chen directly interrupted.
“Cough cough, it’s like this. The reason we went out this time was to search for an herb called the Seven Star Manchu Pearl and Flower Dew. I think big brother can help us. If big brother is willing to help, little brother would be grateful.” The youth said sincerely.
"Seven Star Manchu Pearl Sand Flower Dew? Is there anyone among you whose soul has been torn apart? " Long Chen said in surprise.
"You … How do you know? " The youth and the girl were both shocked.
Long Chen knew, of course, that although there were many miraculous effects, the most powerful one was the Healing Soul Ripping Technique. It was almost instantaneous and had a miraculous effect.
“If my guess is correct, it should be a Sea Cleaving Realm expert. Because he didn’t have enough soul power, he forcefully condensed his immortal foundation and failed. As a result, his soul was torn apart, right?” Long Chen said.
Although Long Chen had yet to reach that realm, when he communicated with Shui Wuhen and Ouyang Qiuyu, he had asked for advice on cultivation levels, so he guessed it.
Seeing the horrified expressions on their faces, Long Chen knew that he guessed right. At the same time, he was secretly shocked. There were probably many terrifying existences within these aboriginals.
“That’s right. Someone from our clan tried to break through to the Forging Platform and failed, resulting in his soul being torn apart. He suffers the pain of his soul every day. Please help us!”
