Chapter 340 - Heavenly Demon Lord

Long Chen’s heart clenched the moment the attack was unleashed. He knew that Ling Xi would be split in half if he wasn’t there, but if he blocked it for her, he would be split in half!

The shining, golden Imperial Sword Qi shot out and dyed Long Chen’s whole world gold!

“Brother Chen ...”

Ling Xi smiled in blissful release. She had been nothing but a burden during this whole journey, and it made her miserable all the time. Although she knew that Long Chen would not blame her, she couldn’t help but feel guilty. The Profound Heavenly Jade Lotus had allowed her to regain many human experiences, even bringing her many sensations she had never felt before. However, it had also brought her a lot of suffering and self-blame.

Ever since they were at Yuanling City, Long Chen had cared for her meticulously. She had received enough joy from that experience, so now she was truly ready to give it all up. During this journey of life and death, Long Chen had sacrificed himself the whole way. This time, it was her turn.

Long Chen’s mind went blank. All that remained in his world was the golden sword Qi. It was a simple decision to make for him. More specifically, it did not require any thought. Just like when they were at the Star Devil Prison, Long Chen moved his feet without hesitation and stood in front of her immediately!

Ling Xi knew he would do it. She knew him too well. Once he made a decision, nothing would ever change it. Since he had decided to protect Ling Xi, he had long tossed the notion of survival out of his mind!

The Imperial Sword Qi instantaneously arrived in front of Long Chen, along with Lin Zichen’s cold laughter. Long Chen felt a painful prickling on his skin before the powerful sword light even touched him!

Long Chen’s mind raced for an idea. He scoured through everything he had, and the only thing he could use right now was the Hell King Blade he had taken from Song Zhongcheng. It was an advanced Earth-tier divine weapon that was one tier higher than the Azure Dragon Halberd!

Boom!

Long Chen released all his Qi, focusing all of it on the Hell King Blade to block the Imperial Sword Qi.

Clang!

There was a deafening clang, and Long Chen flew back from the impact with blood spraying out of his mouth and a ghostly pale face. Yet he held on with a death grip. The Imperial Sword Qi did not dissipate upon impact. It had blasted Long Chen backwards, then the sharp sword light flew in all directions and cut Long Chen’s skin, leaving him covered in cuts!

Long Chen felt the Imperial Sword Qi pressing on his head through the Hell King Blade, bearing the weight of a mountain!

Even though he had used all the strength he could possibly muster, he had been pushed back. His arms, still gripping the dagger tightly, were about to be permanently injured!

“You actually blocked it? I’m touched! Unfortunately, I don’t believe in touching moments like that. If you’re so willing to die for her, I’ll fulfill your wish! Let’s crank it up!”

Lin Zichen raised his sword high. “Imperial Sword Qi!”

Yet another bout of Imperial Sword Qi shot out at Long Chen!

Long Chen was already injured all over from the first Imperial Sword Qi and cracks started to appear on the Hell King Blade. It was going to shatter soon! If it did, then Long Chen would die instantly!

Long Chen finally understood just how terrifying this guy was. The Imperial Sword Qi was merely one of Lin Zichen’s simpler techniques too. The Young Sword Emperor was possibly even stronger than his uncle, the Sword Devil!

Till the very end, all Long Chen could do was put his life on the line to fight against the threat of death! Thick blood and tears filled his eyes!

If Lin Zichen had not attacked Ling Xi, Long Chen could have relied on Blood Warp to fight him. He was confident Lin Zichen would be unable to kill him that way. Unfortunately, Lin Zichen was an unpredictable opponent, and he was willing to stoop so low too!

Whether he lived or died would be determined at this moment!

“Brother Chen! I’m saving you!”

Long Chen suddenly heard Ling Xi’s voice, but she sounded different! What he heard was the voice from a long time ago, when she was in the Ling Xi Sword!

Does this mean that ...

Lin Zichen’s face changed. Ignoring the Imperial Sword Qi, he turned around to see a pure-white sword Qi shoot over and shatter the Imperial Sword Qi in front of him!

“Xiao Xi!”

When the light was gone, he realized that Ling Xi had taken on a spirit-like form enveloped in white mist. The Profound Heavenly Jade Lotus slowly shrank and finally turned into a black lotus root. It was now useless.

This meant that Ling Xi had abandoned her Profound Heavenly Jade Lotus body to return to her spirit state. She was holding the Ling Xi Sword.

“I’m sorry, Brother Chen! I cannot watch you die! Forgive me for not listening to you, but I’ve had enough of being useless, okay? I trust that you’ll find me something better soon!”

Ling Xi had explained hurriedly, worried that Long Chen would remain stubborn.

Of course, he knew that obtaining the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit was not certain to happen ...

But Long Chen understood. He did love the idea of Ling Xi having a physical body and living happily without worry. Unfortunately, such a carefree life was impossible under current circumstances.

Finding a Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit was a giant challenge. However, he had no way of knowing what the future held. Since he wouldn’t get her body back even if he died, there was no use dwelling on it. Perhaps they could even survive this ordeal now. After he heard her, he realized that he had been acting selfishly throughout this journey. He wanted to give her a happy life, but he had also ignored her feelings.

“Brother Chen, will you forgive me?” she asked worriedly.

Previously, Long Chen had been extremely against her abandoning the Profound Heavenly Jade Lotus, as it was hard to come by. That was why she was anxious, afraid that he would not want her anymore after she disobeyed him.

“I accumulated a large amount of soul power when I was in human form, so I should be able to block him for a while. Brother Chen, can you leave? I’ll hold him off for a while, then I’ll catch up to you immediately, alright?” Ling Xi asked nervously.

Now that the Profound Heavenly Jade Lotus was gone, Ling Xi would have to return to the Ling Xi Sword. This was an unchangeable fact, and Long Chen had to respect her choice. Since he could not change anything, then the most important thing now was to deal with Lin Zichen!

Afterwards, he would have to cultivate even harder to find the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit as soon as possible. So that she could become a true human and regain her formidable strength!

However, he would never run away on his own!

Long Chen did not blame Ling Xi for abandoning the lotus root, as she had no choice. They had been cornered! Long Chen channeled all his anger and hatred to Lin Zichen! He turned around with icy killing intent in his eyes!

“How could I ever run? Xiao Xi, if you’re up for it, let’s fight him together! I swear I will kill this dog today!”

“Dog?” Lin Zichen was still staring at Ling Xi in shock. He had seen many things in his life, but he did not know what had happened with Ling Xi. How had a normal person like her suddenly become wrapped in mist and looked so ethereal? His attacks halted too, but he finally woke up when Long Chen said he wanted to kill him.

“Although I don’t know what just happened with the girl, I’m intrigued. You two are planning to work together to kill me? That’s fine by me; I do want to take this girl back to study her. I need to know what just happened. At the same time, Long Chen, I will send you down to hell!”

Ling Xi arrived by Long Chen’s side. She had her power back now. Although it was not much, it was enough to hold off the enemy for a while!

They were about to explode into a fight when a huge energy ripple came from the direction of Demon Emperor Mountain. Long Chen and the rest were all forced several steps back from the vibrations, and an ear-piercing demonic voice poured into their ears!

“Son of the imperial family! Leave now, or do not blame me for what comes next!” The angry roar was manageable to Long Chen since it was not directed to him, but Lin Zichen felt all the blood in his body boil. He turned pale, and since he was already injured, he stumbled several steps back!

Just one sentence was enough to injure Lin Zichen with sound. Only a legendary master who had surpassed the Heavenly River Realm could do something like that! Other than the Sword Emperor of the Cangyang Kingdom, only one other person was this powerful!

The Heavenly Demon Palace’s Lord!

Lin Zichen’s face changed when he heard the voice.

“Do you think you can run, you loser?” Long Chen had not expected this at all, as they were still some distance away from Demon Emperor Mountain. He never expected the Heavenly Demon Lord to notice them!

“Long Chen, you got stupidly lucky today. Don’t you ever step out of Demon Emperor Mountain though. The moment you do, I will kill you the first chance I get!” Lin Zichen threatened fiercely.

“So I’ll just stay in Demon Emperor Mountain. What’s the big deal? Lin Zichen, remember this. I will return to the Biyang Imperial Capital very soon. That will be the day you die! I swear that this grudge will never be resolved unless I cut you to pieces!”

“We’ll see then!” Lin Zichen laughed coldly, then he sped off.
