CHAPTER 781: CHAPTER 778: NEXT, WHO ELSE?

"Phoenix come with grace!"

Lian Hongshang pinched her Sword technique, like a phoenix soaring and making a crisp and ethereal cry, heading straight towards.

Wang Hee was terrified when he saw this and quickly swung his sword to block.

"Clang!"

The two swords collided, sending out a brilliant spray of sparks like a planet hitting the Earth.

Wang Hee felt his body shake, and his expression froze on his face in an instant.

"Pfft!"

A mouthful of fresh blood violently spewed out, he looked down at the bloodied hole over his Life Gate at his chest. Before he could utter a word, the vitality in his eyes dissipated instantly, turning into a puddle of mud, as he collapsed with a thud.

"Hiss!"

In an instant, everyone involuntarily gasped.

They never expected that Wang Hee, even being at the Quasi Golden Core Realm, couldn’t even withstand a single exchange before Lian Hongshang before being instantly killed.

This was simply terrifying!

"Li Chen is a freak, and this one is also a freak. Freaks, all freaks!"

Wu Tian cursed silently in his heart.

Bi Tao was so scared that he shuddered and almost collapsed on the spot.

Only now did he realize that the little white rabbit he had previously viewed as prey also had such a ferocious side.

Fortunately, he had only spoken harsh words just now; otherwise, the one dead now wouldn’t be Wang Hee, but him, Bi Tao.

Lian Hongshang slowly sheathed her sword, her gaze icy cold as she methodically declared, "Next, who will come?"

Wu Tian, Sun Jing, Zhang Xi, and others exchanged glances.

"This demoness’s Spirit Sword is a Top-grade Magical Treasure. No one can gain an advantage against her in single combat!"

"Yes, let’s all go together. I refuse to believe that so many of us can’t subdue just one person!"

...

After a brief discussion, they formed a unanimous agreement. Together, they attacked Lian Hongshang.

"Hmph, overwhelming numbers against the few, shameless!"

Lian Hongshang snorted indignantly and lifted her Purple Shadow Immortal Sword to meet them.

Although she possessed two top-grade magical treasures, her cultivation was ultimately at a severe disadvantage. Moreover, the opponents were many and had the upper hand.

Thus, after only a few exchanges, she was already at a disadvantage.

However, Wu Tian, Sun Jing and the others, wary of Lian Hongshang’s Purple Shadow Immortal Sword, didn’t dare to attack recklessly. They simply surrounded her, intending to wear her down with a war of attrition, gradually depleting her True Yuan and strength.

Lian Hongshang tried several times to break their encirclement but failed, and her expression grew increasingly grave.

"Miss Lian, just hand over the Immortal Sword peacefully, and we can spare your life!"

Seeing that they had secured a victory, Wu Tian said with a face full of smugness.

Lian Hongshang coldly replied, "Hmph, do you really think you have won?"

"You demoness, I see you’re just a duck that’s been cooked, stubborn to the end!"

Zhang Xi, seeing Lian Hongshang dare to speak to her lover that way, immediately burst into a furious rage.

Lian Hongshang did not reply, but quickly sheathed her sword, and shouted towards the depths of the forest.

"Little Dragon!"

Before her words even fell, an awe-inspiring dragon’s roar suddenly erupted.

Then, a Jiao Long with its body gleaming with golden light appeared, with its huge mouth open, it tore through the area like uprooting trees and overturning mountains.

"Is, is, is that the Demon Dragon?"

Wu Tian recognized Jiao Long and was instantly shocked, his eyes wide open, his face filled with disbelief.

"Roar roar!"

After letting out an angry roar, Jiao Long extended its Thunder Claw and Wind Blade in succession. Hurricanes and lightning swept across.

Two unlucky members of the Azure Sea Pavilion were killed, one struck by lightning and the other shredded by the Wind Blade, both deaths gruesome to behold.

Bi Tao saw his fellow sect brother die tragically and was so frightened that he kept retreating, wetting his pants in the process.

Wu Tian, Sun Jing, and Zhang Xi immediately exchanged glances and simultaneously used their strongest moves on Jiao Long.

However, the outcome was astonishingly disappointing!

The Scale Armor on Jiao Long’s body acted like natural protective battle armor; their attacks couldn’t even break through.

Couldn’t break through?

Then what’s the point in fighting!

Realizing this, Wu Tian, Sun Jing, and the others began to retreat. They planned to let Teng Yue or Du Feng, the two Elders, take care of Li Chen first before they deal with this Demon Beast.

However, at this moment, the situation of Teng Yue and Du Feng wasn’t any better than Wu Tian and the others.

Initially, the two of them together could have suppressed Li Chen.

But unexpectedly, there was a very powerful Sword Array around them. If they were not careful, they would be hurt by the sudden Sword Intent, forcing them to be distracted.

With such a stalemate, the battle situation naturally became deadlocked.

Originally, they also hoped that once Wu Tian and his group took care of Lian Hongshang, they could come over and help break the deadlock.

After all, Lian Hongshang was just a weak woman at the Late-stage Foundation Establishment. She could be easily captured with just one confrontation.

But they never expected the situation to turn so dire.

At this moment, Teng Yue also realized something was off.

Ignoring past sentiments, he yelled at Du Feng, "Du Feng, what is this situation?"

Du Feng was also confused. Although he was mentally prepared, he never anticipated the monstrous combat power unleashed by Li Chen, Lian Hongshang, and the Demon Beast Jiao Long.

Seeing Wu Tian’s group’s imminent defeat, and unable to break the deadlock on his own side, Du Feng realized if they continued, they might end up dead.

With this in mind, he made a decisive decision without any hesitation.

"Not good, this kid was prepared, we need to retreat quickly!"

Seeing them trying to flee, a grim smile like that of a Death God appeared in Li Chen’s eyes.

"Thinking of leaving now, isn’t it a bit late?"

After saying this, Li Chen stomped fiercely, and his figure floated into the air.

"Sword, come!"

Li Chen tightly clenched the Mystic Iron Heavy Sword in his hands, his arms’ veins bulging, becoming dazzling and crystal clear.

With the sound of fierce battle cries, an overwhelming aura swept across like a storm.

Du Feng knew this was the Divine Weapon mentioned by Wu Tian, the one that killed his fellow disciple Dai Song.

Given that his own cultivation and Dai Song’s were roughly equal, if the opponent could slay Dai Song with this Divine Weapon, it could also cause his own downfall.

Thinking of these, at this very moment, the only thought in Du Feng’s mind was—

Escape!

Hurry and escape!

Du Feng, having been mentally prepared from earlier, immediately fled the battlefield when he realized something was amiss.

In contrast, Teng Yue’s reaction was a half beat slower.

By the time Li Chen swung the Mystic Iron Heavy Sword in midair, he had already lost the best chance to escape and could only stay and be cannon fodder.

"Du Feng, how dare you plot against me, damn your ancestors!"

After shouting out this last hysterical roar, Teng Yue’s eyes splintered, his eyes bloodshot. He used all his might to resist Li Chen’s fatal sword...
