"Buzz!"
A golden arrow shot out and, in the blink of an eye, reached Ye Benchang. Suddenly, Ye Benchang sensed something was wrong. A giant shield appeared in his left hand, blocking in front of him.
"Boom!"
The arrow shattered, sending up a sky full of golden light. The shield in Ye Benchang's hand was blown to pieces.
Guo Ran's attack arrived. As he unleashed his assault, the Dragonblood warriors burst out from the Thunder Domain, each radiating murderous intent.
"All have advanced to Tongming."
When they saw the aura of the Dragonblood Warriors, all the powerful ones couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
It turned out this was a collective tribulation for the Dragonblood warriors. However, Long Chen took over halfway, the intensity of the tribulation surged, and they were sent into the Thunder Domain.
Within the Thunder Domain, the power of thunder kept pouring in, growing stronger and stronger, far exceeding their endurance limit. In fact, the Nether Rune within their bodies had already formed.
They just didn't know this yet, thinking they hadn't succeeded yet, and kept desperately enduring, absorbing it frantically with the help of the Thunder Domain Jiao Dragon King.
Because the Jiao Dragon King absorbed the raging power from the tribulation on his own, leaving behind relatively gentle thunder.
The Jiao Dragon King also didn't know much about human cultivation, so he had no idea that the Dragonblood Warriors had already overabsorbed it.
The Dragonblood warriors thought they hadn't reached the standard yet, even though they couldn't absorb anymore. They desperately suppressed themselves before trying to absorb more, hoping to absorb even a little more.
At this moment, Long Chen was in trouble. They mobilized together, but as soon as they stepped into the world of Tianwu Continent, the runes within them were instantly activated, and their aura surged to an unbelievable level. At the same time, an indescribable power emerged within them.
"Boom!"
Gu Yang charged ahead, the strange phenomenon behind him trembling, spears surging as he smashed fiercely toward Ye Benchang. With a loud explosion, Gu Yang retreated explosively, his arms trembling violently, though he suffered no substantial damage.
Gu Yang was overjoyed. Previously, in front of Ye Benchang, he was nothing but an ant—one strike could wipe him out. But now, he was completely unharmed. Well, even though not a single hair was on his head.
Ye Benchang was also shocked. He had thought a single strike would severely injure Gu Yang, but even though Gu Yang and the others had advanced to Tongming, he still didn't take them seriously. His target was Long Chen.
"Sever his clone!"
Tang Wan'er shouted sharply, a strange phenomenon swirling behind her. The transparent wind blade in her hand tore through the void, heading straight for one clone.
"Pfft!"
Ye Benchang's clone swung his sword to block, but the sword was cut off like tofu by Tang Wan'er. The wind blade shot out, piercing through the clone's head and instantly killing him.
"What?"
Ye Benchang's face changed dramatically. His avatar had eighty percent of his combat power. Although he wasn't at his peak at this moment, his combat power was still far greater than that of an ordinary third-step Tongming Realm expert, yet he was instantly killed by Tang Wan'er.
"Pfft!"
Suddenly, another clone trembled violently. A dagger pierced the back of his head, and a petite figure appeared—it was the terrifying assassin Dong Mingyu.
"Puff puff puff... Ye
Zhiqiu, Chu Yao, Meng Qi, Yue Zifeng, Li Qi, Song Mingyuan, and others all attacked, blocking Long Chen's path. At the same time, the Dragon Blood Warriors also charged forward. Ye Benchang's clone was instantly engulfed, barely holding onto a few breaths before being completely wiped out.
"Buzz"—
A towering willow tree shot into the clouds. It was Liu Ruyan who pushed open its true form, pulling Long Chen's body into the core area of the Undying Nether Willow. Anyone who wanted to harm Long Chen had to defeat her.
"Take out this idiot from the Divine Clan who treats a chicken feather as an arrow."
Guo Ran, clad in battle armor and wielding a battle blade, charged straight at Ye Benchang himself. The runes of his twin blades burst forth as he slashed fiercely at Ye Benchang.
"Boom!"
A single strike fell, sparks flying everywhere, and Guo Ran was blasted away by the sword.
"Ssshhh"
At that moment, a sword pierced through the sky, its light cold for miles. Before the sword arrived, the terrifying sword intent had already sent chills down Ye Benchang's spine—he had actually been locked onto.
With a sharp shout, Ye Benchang suddenly pushed open the phenomenon behind him, his blood and energy erupted. Under the pressure of Yue Zifeng's attack, he finally summoned the vision, and his momentum instantly reached a fixed point.
He hadn't unleashed his full power before, not out of frustration, but because his technique was special. When he unleashed his full power, he couldn't summon clones. His goal was to kill Long Chen, but he was too wary of the Jiao Dragon King and didn't fight with full force, instead attacking with clones. Yet, unexpectedly, the Dragon Blood Legion actually came to attack.
Moreover, the strength of the Dragonblood Warrior far exceeded his expectations. Without a full-power burst, it was impossible to kill Long Chen.
"Disillusionment Slash!"
Ye Benchang roared angrily, slashing horizontally with his long sword. Yue Zifeng's sword energy was engulfed, and a massive wave of swords swept over Meng Qi, Chu Yao, and everyone.
"Joint Resistance!"
Guo Ran shouted sharply. With Ye Benchang unleashing his full power, he could contend with a fourth-step Tongming Realm expert. The Dragon Blood warriors connected their visions, sending ten thousand swords flying together.
"Boom!"
The sword energy exploded, and the Dragonblood warriors all retreated in unison. Ye Benchang's strength was actually evenly matched with theirs.
Ye Benchang was also shaken back several steps by the combined strike of the Dragonblood warriors. But when he stopped, blood flowed from his shoulder, and at some point, a bloody hole had been pierced through his shoulder.
A look of shock appeared on Ye Benchang's face. His sword strike blocked all the attacks from everyone, but it could not counter Yue Zifeng's sword energy. In the end, he could only avoid the vital spot in his chest and block it with his shoulder. The piercing pain made him frown.
On that wound was the will of the sword Dao. His Heavenly Dao power was unable to heal the wound. He never expected that Yue Zifeng's swordsmanship had reached such a terrifying level.
After the "Dragonblood Cross Slash"
strike, Guo Ran shouted sharply. His twin blades crossed in a cross shape, and runes lit up all the Dragonblood Legion warriors. Under the tremor of the phenomenon, everyone's strength formed a torrent that surged toward Guo Ran.
"Buzz!"
The massive cross tore through the void, crossing a thousand miles, instantly striking right in front of Ye Benchang. The center of the cross was exactly where Ye Benchang was.
In that instant, Ye Benchang's long hair stood on end. It wasn't that he had erupted with some eradication again, but because he was terrified, because in that instant, a terrifying threat of death enveloped him. He took the blow alone, suffering either death or injury.
"Heavenly Dragon Blood, All Paths Unite as One."
At that moment, the distant Heavenly Dragon Legion warriors roared in anger. Their divine weapons gleamed, beams of divine light shooting out, instantly merging into the phenomenon behind Ye Benchang. Their combined attack technique was remarkably similar to the Dragonblood Legion's joint strike.
With support from the Tianlong Legion, Ye Benchang slashed down with his sword, cutting down with his swordThe moment it fell, the phenomenon behind him suddenly vanished, and all the power within the phenomenon was absorbed by this sword.
"Boom!"
This was a world-shaking collision. The combined force of the Dragonblood Legion collided with the Heavenly Dragon Legion's earth-shattering strike. The two forces collided, and in the void, a massive death orb appeared, rapidly spreading.
"Rumble... The
void trembled, the earth cracked, fragments of time faded away, and the Dragonblood warriors felt as if they had been struck by a sledgehammer, blood spraying wildly.
The opposing Tianlong Legion was the same. Some powerful warriors even split their brows and screamed in agony. Their souls merged into that strike, their attacks shattered, and under the shock of their souls, their suffering grew even more miserable.
Ye Benchang was blasted away, his sword-wielding arm and sleeve shattered, his arm slightly deformed—clearly broken by the impact. He spat out three mouthfuls of blood, his face pale, and a trace of lingering fear in his eyes.
This strike was even more terrifying than he had imagined. If it weren't for the support of the ten thousand Tianlong Army behind him, he would have died.
"Kill him!"
Ye Benchang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with ruthlessness. Long Chen could not be spared, nor could the Dragon Blood Legion.
"Kill!"
Under Ye Benchang's command, the Tianlong Legion warriors let out a furious roar, and the army mobilized, charging at the Dragonblood Legion.
"Brothers, our Dragonblood Legion was founded single-handedly by the boss. Today, let's show the whole world who is truly the number one legion in this world." Guo Ran shouted loudly, his armor gleaming, exuding imposing authority as he led the Dragon Blood Legion toward the Heavenly Dragon Legion.
Meng Qi, Chu Yao, Tang Wan'er, Ye Zhiqiu, Dong Mingyu, Xiao Yun, Gu Yang, Yue Zifeng, Li Qi, Song Mingyuan, and other top experts of the Dragon Blood Legion all charged toward Ye Benchang.
"Endless falling leaves, thorns burying the sky."
Guo Ran led the Dragon Blood Warriors into the Heavenly Dragon Legion. Chu Yao led the charge, making the first move. Her black wooden staff struck out, and the void roared and exploded. Countless thorny branches appeared in the void, like monstrous pythons coiling toward Ye Benchang.
Those thorns were actually rooted in the void, eerily strange, pitch black like ink, like tentacles from hell, filled with the aura of death.
Ye Benchang had never seen such a strange wood-element spell, nor had he heard of any kind of wood-element spell that didn't arise from the ground and could root itself in the void. Seeing the thorns and strange growth, he dared not be careless, retreating while changing his attack.
"Boom boom boom... Ye
Benchang's long sword flew through the air, slashing at the thorns. He found that the thorns were extremely tough; with one strike, he could only cut through several thorns. What surprised him most was...
After the thorns were cut off, they actually took root again in the void, growing rapidly and increasing in number.
Thorns covered the area, and attacks from Tang Wan'er, Ye Zhiqiu, Yue Zifeng, and others came crashing down. Caught off guard, Ye Benchang was caught off guard and was thrown into chaos.
"Bastard!"
Ye Benchang saw the Heavenly Dragon Warriors fiercely battling the Dragon Blood Legion, and the two sides were evenly matched. The Heavenly Dragon Warriors were all third-step Tongming Realm experts and couldn't suppress these rookies who had just entered the Tongming Realm.
Seeing Long Chen hiding among Liu Ruyan's Tongtian willow tree, absorbing the Heavenly Dao runes with all his might, Ye Benchang felt a deep sense of crisis. If Long Chen absorbed the Heavenly Dao runes and advanced to Tongming, he would be unable to eat or sleep peacefully from now on.
"Divine Blood Burning!"
Ye Benchang suddenly shouted explosively. Fresh blood seeped from beneath his skin, transforming into blood-red flames that enveloped him.
"Boom!"
Ye Benchang slashed down with his sword, tearing through the void. Chu Yao's thorn forest was pierced through, and in that instant, Ye Benchang's aura doubled. With a flicker, he broke through the crowd's blockade and charged straight at Liu Ruyan.
"Long Chen, go to hell!"
Ye Benchang struck down mercilessly, sending a trembling strike that made all paths tremble, its power reaching its peak.
"Ruyan," Mengqi shouted.
"Boom!"
As the sword fell, Liu Ruyan's towering willow tree, along with Long Chen inside, was actually cut to ashes by the sword.
