Chapter 712 – Killing Du Jiu
Chapter 712 – Killing Du Jiu
Long Chen used the Dragon Soul Transformation. Blood-red dragon scales completely covered his body and sharp spines shot out. His sharp claws glinted coldly, and he radiated a violent aura. His aura was no weaker than Du Jiu’s!
“Not bad! You’re even volunteering to die!” Du Jiu roared and did not bother to say anything else before charging at Long Chen. All of his brothers had died, and his heart had fallen to rock bottom. Killing Long Chen and Shao Yu was the only way he could regain some comfort!
Long Chen didn’t want to waste too much time on nonsense.
This was a Sixth Earthly Martial Stage cultivator, so Long Chen did not dare let his guard down. He was two levels above Long Chen after all, so even though the Dragon Soul Transformation strengthened his Qi by ten times, his opponent’s Qi was still one level higher!
“Blood Devouring Domain!” The Blood Devouring Domain not only suppressed Du Jiu’s Qi, it allowed Long Chen to exert more control over the situation. The moment Du Jiu was distracted, Long Chen could take advantage of the situation!
Both of them fought with all their might.
Blood-red mist quickly enveloped the whole space, wrapping Du Jiu in a blood-red cocoon. A terrifying sucking force acted on Du Jiu’s body from all directions!
“What the hell is this? Looks like you’ve got many strange tricks, brat!” Du Jiu smirked coldly. Although he looked carefree, he was privately shocked. He could only use seventy to eighty percent of his essence due to the Blood Devouring Domain. If Long Chen was just one level higher, then he would be no match for Long Chen.
“It’s enough to finish you off.” Long Chen’s voice echoed in Du Jiu’s ears. He used Willow Step and quickly spun around Du Jiu, looking for a chance to attack!
“Die!” Du Jiu felt like he was being underestimated due to Long Chen’s lack of fear. Although he had exhausted a portion of his essence running away from the Metal Devouring Wind, he believed that his remaining essence was enough to kill Long Chen!
“Seven Killings Demon Finger!”
Whoosh!
A hand shot out of Du Jiu’s right hand. The skin of this hand was almost like black charcoal and a black air current twisted around its finger like a disgusting worm.All of Du Jiu’s essence erupted into action, and he turned into a shadow. An instant later, he appeared in front of Long Chen and shot his right hand’s finger at Long Chen’s forehead. The black stream turned into seven whirlpools with a demon’s shadow on every one of them!
Evil laughter rang in Long Chen’s ear.
Are we comparing this now? Long Chen smirked to himself. The Seven Killings Demon Finger was filled with killing Qi and venomous Qi. It was an evil Yin type of power, but Long Chen also had an attack of the same category, which was the Desolate Divine Seal!
Long Chen was currently in peak health. He started to guide the essence in his body towards the meridian point in his right hand, as well as the Golden Crow Flame within his dragon soul essence. As he formed seals with his hands, his palm burst into flames and he produced a gray hand seal!
Whoosh!
After the Seven Killings Demon Finger appeared, he quickly pushed out the Desolate Divine Seal. The Desolate Divine Seal contained thick deathly Qi, which was frankly an evil Yin attack. Although Long Chen was inferior in terms of essence, his attack was superior!
The attacks collided violently, causing the wind and clouds around them to billow. Dark-brown metal sand shifted beneath them!
This exchange ended in a draw!
Both parties backed away, preparing for their next attack!
Shao Yu was stunned by the exchange. He thought that Long Chen would surely die from Du Jiu’s famous Seven Killings Demon Finger due to the large gap in cultivation, but Long Chen’s attack blocked it. This was a difficult feat to Shao Yu!
But Shao Yu still felt miserable when he thought about how Du Jiu would use more powerful techniques next. Long Chen was a good person, and he did not want Long Chen to be killed. He did not care if he died, but Long Chen was still a teenager. It was not worth it.
With that thought, Shao Yu quietly snuck forward, hoping he could help Long Chen a little or even hold Du Jiu off so that Long Chen would have a chance to run away!
After that attack just now, Long Chen had figured out his opponent’s combat abilities. Although he was at the Sixth Earthly Martial Stage, it was not unmanageable to him!
Of course, Du Jiu was just a nomadic cultivator with no powerful clan backing him or anything passed down to him. If this were someone from the core members of the Nine Great Clans at the same cultivation level, Long Chen would not find it easy to defeat them due to their many treasures.
From Du Jiu’s perspective, Long Chen was indeed a shocking opponent! The intermediate King-tier combat technique he had used just now was considered one of his better techniques, yet despite using his Sixth Earthly Martial Stage level essence, he could not kill Long Chen.
“You brat! Dodging once is just luck. Come try my advanced King-tier combat technique, which very few have survived. You should be honored to see this!”
Du Jiu laughed like a madman, then he turned into a black shadow and charged at Long Chen!
This time, Du Jiu was determined to kill the mysterious teenager, even if it exhausted all his essence! Long Chen was only at the Fourth Earthly Martial Stage, yet he showed great capability. This meant that there was something special about him. He was willing to risk everything; perhaps the things he received after killing Long Chen would make him an elite of his generation!
In this world, the strong ate the weak! That was the law of nature.
“Die ...” A gust of black mist covered Du Jiu’s eyes and spread to the rest of his body, soon covering him whole. “Nine Headed Vulture Clone! Kill!” A bird’s cry that was so ear-piercing that Long Chen’s eardrums hurt rang from the black mist. Du Jiu was no joke when he started fighting seriously. This was clearly a very powerful attack!
The Nine-headed Vulture was a high-level demonic beast from legends and was likely an Emperor-tier beast. The Nine Headed Vulture Clone was a technique named after this beast. The black mist suddenly swirled and solidified into a giant pair of black wings on his back, then nine more heads grew out of his head!
This made him look nightmarish and intimidating. A cold aura spread across the whole area, and Long Chen was immersed in it.
Du Jiu seemed to have turned into the legendary beast. He was evil, violent, and his eyes were filled with an animalistic bloodlust!
Nine bird cries sounded. The image of the nine-headed vulture swooped like sharp and agile spears!
Since this is Yin and cold, then I will use a Yang method to defeat it. The Scarlet Emperor Burning Heaven Seal is the most suitable for this ... Long Chen felt fortunate that this was the first technique he had mastered. If he had learned the Black Emperor Churning Heaven Seal instead, defeating the nine-headed vulture would be difficult!
During his first time using the Scarlet Emperor Burning Heaven Seal, the young master of the Divine clan had easily blocked it. It did not mean that the attack was not strong though. Long Chen had managed to push the young master back using this combat technique despite a gap of six or seven levels between them. This showed how scary the Burning Heaven Seal was!
The Emperor-tier combat technique was peerless!
Blood-red flames erupted from Long Chen’s right arm, and the Burning Heaven Seal in his palm lit up brighter than it ever had. Long Chen used all the Qi in his body to control the Burning Heaven Seal!
Boom, boom, boom!
The flames burned brightly, and a gigantic, fiery seal formed in his palm. The appearance of the Burning Heaven Seal was quick and sudden. When Du Jiu was charging at him, Long Chen pushed out the seal, and it instantly flew at Du Jiu!
“What was that?!” cried Du Jiu in surprise. The final exchange had begun. The Burning Heaven Seal not only surpassed the Nine Headed Vulture clone in terms of level, it also had a detrimental effect due to being the opposite element. Although Du Jiu had more essence, the nine heads of the nine-headed vulture were destroyed by Long Chen’s terrifying attack!
