Chapter 130 - Killing the Blood Saints’ Great Priest!
Even though every member of the sect had been killed, no one was celebrating just yet. The Great Priest was still alive, and he was the core of the Blood Saints. Only by killing him would the Blood Saints thoroughly be eradicated.
But killing the Great Priest was a difficult task.
After passing Yang Lingqing to the two Li brothers, Li Jing ran towards Long Chen. She knew Long Chen would have a difficult time killing the Great Priest on his own.
“Long Chen, let me help you!”
Li Jing was about to reach his side when Long Chen shouted at her, “Ms. Li, go back. I will take him on myself.”
“What?”
Li Jing couldn’t believe what she had heard, but Long Chen’s resolute gaze made her stop.
“He’s at the Earthly Core Realm! You are not strong enough!”
Li Jing’s anxious words did not deter Long Chen in the least.
He waved at her, and Li Jing stepped back reluctantly. The Great Priest turned to look at her. “Why are you in a rush to die? I will kill you once I’m done with Long Chen.”
He then glared at Long Chen once more.
“I don’t know what kind of evil technique you used, but you’ve destroyed the Blood Saints, the organization that I, Yan Cixue, have created. I will have your blood!”
Long Chen was now at the peak of his strength. The late Human Core Realm was where the true strength of a Human Core Realm cultivator was unlocked. He had grown more than ten times greater than before.
He was confident he could stall for time before his breakthrough, but now he was confident in beating the Great Priest.
He gave Yang Lingqing a look of assurance before facing the Great Priest.
“Stop talking nonsense and come at me.”
“So you still don’t fear death?”
A bloody light erupted from the Great Priest’s eyes. His killing intent amplified and burst forth from within his body. He was so angry that he didn’t hold his strength back!
“I’ve already said that none of you will get out alive!”
He roared and transformed into a blood arrow that shot towards Long Chen.
“The only one who will die here today is you!”
Long Chen\'s speed had increased by ten times along with his newfound strength.
“Nine Heavens Dragon Steps!”
“Your Body Combat technique is only an elementary Black-tier—it\'s useless against my intermediate Black-tier Blood Shadow Steps!”
Both of them darted around each other, but all the others saw was two afterimages circling each other, causing the winds to converge in one area like a tornado.
“What?! How did you get faster?”
Yan Cixue was surprised, and both of them clashed at the same time. They flew backwards from the impact.
The strength hidden within Long Chen’s fist shocked Yan Cixue.
“So you’ve arrived at the late Human Core Realm? But there is a massive gap between the Human Core Realm and the Earthly Core Realm!”
Long Chen had felt it. He knew that his strength was now equal to Yan Cixue’s.
The strength I have at the late Human Core Realm is indeed different!
Long Chen knew that everyone except Yan Cixue was looking at him nervously. If he lost, everyone would die.
He could not afford to lose!
“So what if you became faster? Don’t try to run away like a coward!”
At this point, Long Chen’s Nine Heavens Dragon Step was so fast that the Great Priest’s attacks missed completely. Yan Cixue felt like Long Chen had become an eel that he could not catch at all!
Today was the most infuriating day of his life.
“As you wish!”
Long Chen suddenly turned back.
Seeing how Long Chen was not evading anymore, Yan Cixue laughed and used the Blood Mark once more, but this time he amplified the strength of the technique to the maximum. It was his strongest attack!
“Die, Long Chen! Blood Mark!”
Long Chen also used his strongest technique!
After reaching the late Human Core Realm, he was more than capable of unleashing the true strength of the Burning Devil Sun Fist.
“So this is the true strength of the Burning Devil Sun Fist! Devil Sun Collision!”
He had increased the strength and quantity of his Qi by another ten times after reaching the late Human Core Realm. In terms of Qi reserves, he was on par with a regular Earthly Core Realm cultivator. Adding in the Blazing Thunder Combat Body, he knew Yan Cixue was not his opponent!
The power of the Devil Sun Collision was amplified to a frightening degree. Yan Cixue was surprised to see that the black sun above him was ten times larger than before.
Impossible! He’s only at the Human Core Realm!
During his shock, both of them clashed again, but the situation was completely reversed this time.
Long Chen was not Yan Cixue’s opponent last time, but now his Devil Sun Collision had incinerated the Blood Mark. Most of the remaining destructive energy collided with Yan Cixue. His eyes were filled with disbelief and despair when he was engulfed by the black sun. Soon, his body was nothing but charcoal!
Yan Cixue was alive just a moment ago. Now, his burnt body was motionless. Long Chen, however, was fine and undid his transformation. He smiled and approached Yang Lingqing.
“That’s settled. My good sister, won’t you come and praise me?”
But nobody answered him. The entire place was silent.
It was only after Yan Cixue’s body turned to ashes that everyone reacted.
The captured women didn’t know how strong Long Chen was, but they knew that he had won and that they were rescued! Everyone cheered at him.
Li Jing and the other two had a good grasp on Long Chen’s strength before, but now that Long Chen had killed Yan Cixue and completely turned the situation around, they were doubting themselves already.
Li Jing’s teeth were chattering while she asked the two brothers, “Did Long Chen really kill the Great Priest?”
When they saw the ashes, both of them nodded. “I guess so.”
They looked at the innocent-looking Long Chen once more, and Li Jing finally believed it.
He must be considered talented in the outer family. If he works hard, he can enter the inner family ...
Li Jing finally sent Yang Lingqing to Long Chen.
Yang Lingqing knew everyone would be saved once Long Chen used the Blood Devouring Domain.
This was not the first time he had created a miracle with his strength, and because of that, she was very touched.
“Brother ...”
Her steps were a bit unsteady as she approached him.
“Come, give me a hug. No need to be shy, we’re family.”
Long Chen opened his arms and feigned being a gentleman.
“No!”
Yang Lingqing chuckled at his joke.
“I just saved you and you won’t even hug me? Sigh ... I should’ve let them bleed you dry so you could become like them.”
Long Chen pointed at the mummified husks.
Yang Lingqing frowned. “Are you fine after killing so many people?”
Long Chen paused and finally realized that he had killed a ton of people this time. He felt somewhat squeamish.
“No need to think too much, Long Chen. Those that deserve to be killed should be killed,” Ling Xi consoled.
Long Chen was not the kind of person who would think too much. However, he suppressed the squeamish feeling within his heart and smiled at Yang Lingqing. “Grandfather and your father are waiting for you. Let’s go home.”
When she heard the words “go home,” she suddenly started crying. If it wasn’t for Long Chen, she would never have been able to go home and see her family again.
“Okay. Let’s go home.”
She quietly walked beside him and rubbed her tears away before clinging to his arm.
Long Chen was happy when he felt the warmth on his arm.
“Your expression is disgusting.” Ling Xi was jealous.
Long Chen acted as if he didn’t hear that and brought Yang Lingqing to leave the underground castle. “Ms. Li, I need to go back soon. Now that the Blood Saints have been destroyed, please send the women home. If you encounter any trouble, please come and find me in the Lingwu family. I’m at the Turquoise Sun Hall of the Turquoise family.”
Long Chen had just completed the hardest part of the mission. The three of them were happy to oblige.
“See you again, Long Chen!”
All of the captured women remembered Long Chen’s name in their hearts.
They had just been given hope in the midst of despair. While they still hadn’t fully recovered from the shock, they were sure to remember the name of the youth for the rest of their lives.
“I hope we can meet again.” Li Jing shook her head and smiled when she saw them leave.
Long Chen remembered where the exit was. He was about to leave when he felt two incredibly strong presences at the entrance of the underground city!
