The Dragonblood warriors were furious. Dongfang Yuyang's despicable and shameless behavior drove them mad. Such a peerless prodigy had committed such despicable acts, and they wished they could bite him to death.
The Dragon Blood warriors drew their weapons, waiting for Long Chen to give the order, and charged forward to fight Dongfang Yuyang to the death.
"You're nothing but ants, no right to show your fangs at me. Why don't you step forward and see what happens?" Dongfang Yuyang sneered coldly, pushed Ye Lingshan forward, using her as a shield.
Blood slowly dripped from Ye Lingshan's body, but her expression was cold. She clenched her teeth tightly, trying not to make a sound.
At this moment, Ye Lingshan was enduring pain unknown to others. Dongfang Yuyang was extremely despicable, deliberately causing her pain to provoke everyone. She endured the intense pain, not wanting to worry everyone.
But the more she acted this way, the angrier everyone became, and the deeper their hatred toward Dongfang Yuyang became.
"Dongfang Yuyang, you've completely disgraced the reputation of your Dongfang family. To be ranked alongside you among the four great ancient families is a shame." Even Nangong Zuiyue, who was always gentle and kind, never spoke harshly to anyone, couldn't help but voice turn cold. Dongfang Yuyang's despicable nature made no one angry.
"Enough talk, Long Chen, aren't you going to stop yet? Do I need to do anything else? Do you really want me to strip her clothes off on the spot so all the men can admire the beautiful body of the future leader of the Tianwu Alliance? If you wish, I can make your wish come true. Dongfang Yuyang ignored everyone's anger and looked at Long Chen with a sinister smile.
"Strip off her clothes so we can admire her. This woman ...," Zhao Ritian laughed heartily, as if insulting Ye Lingshan would make him feel much better and at least save some face.
"Shut up!"
Zhao Ritian was halfway laughing when Feng Fei beside him shouted sharply. Dongfang Yuyang's actions had already humiliated her.
But at this moment, Dongfang Yuyang was on their side, and although she strongly disliked his actions at such a critical moment, she could only remain silent.
But Zhao Ritian, that idiot, actually supports Dongfang Yuyang so blatantly. Once they leave the Star Domain Divine Realm, their divine race will face the condemnation of thousands, and the entire world will be cursed by them.
Clearly, someone was taking the blame, so all they needed to do was stay silent. There was no need to stick dirt on themselves, but Zhao Ritian, that idiot, just couldn't see the limit, making Feng Fei so angry she wanted to spank him.
"Brother Long Chen, what should we do?" Dongmingyu's voice came to Long Chen's ear.
Dongming Yu had always hidden in the shadows, no one could see her. She was like a ghost, always guarding Long Chen just in case.
But Dongfang Yuyang was in a difficult position at this moment. She could attempt to assassinate him, but she wasn't confident she could kill him in one strike.
Moreover, Dongfang Yuyang had somehow done something to Ye Lingshan. If he were to kill Ye Lingshan during the assassination attempt, there would be no chance of rescue, so Dongming Yu never dared to act.
Mo Nian's forehead veins bulged, and the Sky-Stealing Hunting Sun Bow in his hand trembled uncontrollably. He was so angry he wanted to rush over right now. He regretted his past mistake and the situation he had made now.
"Let her go," Long Chen finally spoke.
But as soon as Long Chen spoke, all the powerful figures present—friend and foe—were startled. His voice was hoarse and low, cold and devoid of emotion, as if he had become a different person—more like the whisper of a demon from hell.
When Meng Qi and the others looked at Long Chen, they were shocked to discover that, at some point, the light in Long Chen's pupils had vanished, replaced only by darkness—endless darkness, so dark it chilled one's heart.
"Take back your soul power, and I'll let her go. I, Dongfang Yuyang, keep my word." Dongfang Yuyang said, his face full of confidence, as if he was certain Long Chen would compromise.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Long Chen, all waiting for his decision.
"No, Long Chen, you can't ... Pfft! Ye Lingshan saw Long Chen slowly release her hand seals and suddenly shouted.
Dongfang Yuyang snorted coldly. Suddenly, Ye Lingshan spat out a mouthful of blood, unable to make any sound. She looked at Long Chen, her eyes filled with disappointment.
In Ye Lingshan's eyes, Long Chen's actions were wrong and foolish. She would rather use her own death to awaken the disciples of the Tianwu Alliance and motivate them to cultivate and wash away their humiliation.
Not for her, but to give up all previous efforts, because she could already see that Long Chen was about to win.
She was shocked and furious, yet deeply moved. She hated herself so much—hated herself for being useless. The dignified future helmsman of the Tianwu Alliance had fallen into someone else's hands, becoming their trump card against Long Chen. It was an unwashable humiliation.
She couldn't change anything. She understood Long Chen, but in the end, he would truly choose to yield for her. Her previous coldness vanished. She cried, her tears uncontrollably exposing the softness in her heart.
"Whoosh."
The lotus flowers that had already gathered on the altar slowly disintegrated, finally dissipating, and all the flames covering the altar vanished.
Without the scorching heat of the Netherworld Karmic Fire, the altar regained its original power and roared again. The figure of the Devouring Heaven Evil King on the altar began to tremble slowly.
"Can we let her go now?" Long Chen said coldly.
"Let her go?" Of course you can, but not now. A sinister smile appeared on Dongfang Yuyang's face; he had actually gone back on his word.
"Dongfang Yuyang, do you have any shame left? With so many eyes watching, you actually don't keep your word. For a moment, whether it was the Tianwu Alliance or the distant neutral powerhouses, they all cursed loudly.
"When have I ever broken my word? I said I would let her go, but didn't specify the exact time or place.
Once I leave the Star Domain Divine Realm, I will return the beautiful Miss Ye Lingshan to the Tianwu Alliance intact. Dongfang Yuyang said hypocritically.
Clearly, Dongfang Yuyang didn't want to release this precious trump card so quickly. Long Chen was willing to give up the victory that was just within reach for Ye Lingshan, which meant Ye Lingshan still had endless uses.
"Sss!" Suddenly,
a white shadow appeared out of thin air, slashing down with a sword. Dongfang Yuyang was shocked and was about to retreat when his arm suddenly ached sharply.
"Pfft"
Dongfang Yuyang's arm was actually severed, and the long sword didn't seem to have slashed his arm—it was already broken.
People looked closely and saw that Yun Tian had appeared before Ye Lingshan at some point. The sword strike just now was his own.
This sword seemed to surpass the constraints of time. When people saw the sword, it had actually struck Dongfang Yuyang's arm. Even though he had been on guard against ambush and assassination, Dongfang Yuyang's arm was still severed.
Dongfang Yuyang was terrified. His other hand reached out to grab Ye Lingshan, but the sword trembled slightly, and his expression immediately changed, his body becoming ethereal.
"Sss!"
Dongfang Yuyang's body was sliced in two, but that body was nothing but a blur; he himself had already escaped hundreds of miles away.
Ye Lingshan's body landed, caught by Meng Qi. Chu Yao checked Ye Lingshan's body and immediately felt a surge of anger.
"Despicable"
> Ye Lingshan's body was actually poisoned by a strange poison, continuously eroding her soul.
"Leave it to me."
Liu Ruyan reached out and pressed her hand behind Ye Lingshan. At that moment, Ye Lingshan's face rapidly darkened, and her life force was rapidly withering.
"Die!"
Dongfang Yuyang sneered from afar, forming hand seals and actually detonating the poison inside Ye Lingshan.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, a towering willow tree appeared behind Liu Ruyan. Liu Ruyan snorted coldly, "Just a bit of voodoo." "
Whoosh!"
The Tongtian willow trembled, endless black mist spreading from its branches, invading vast areas of the void and exuding a chilling aura.
"So poisonous!"
Everyone was both shocked and furious. Dongfang Yuyang's despicable behavior was outrageous. Fortunately, Liu Ruyan was an immortal Nether Willow, having channeled the poison from Ye Lingshan's body into her own body, unafraid of Dongfang Yuyang's explosion.
Dongfang Yuyang's face darkened, but he smiled and flashed into the altar's barrier, sneering at Long Chen: "
All your efforts have been wasted. From now on, just wait to be killed."
When the Devouring Heaven Evil King is resurrected, you and your Dragonblood Legion will be erased from this world. Ye
Lingshan was saved, but all of Long Chen's previous efforts were in vain. For a moment, everyone stared blankly at the altar opposite them.
Yun Tian sheathed his sword and did not pursue Dongfang Yuyang, but silently returned to his position. Just as Yun Tian was about to speak, Dan Fairy waved her hand and said,
"Our Dan Valley disciples have entered the altar barrier. If you save Ye Lingshan, we'll be even."
Previously, when a Dan Valley disciple came to consult Yu Qingxuan, although Yu Qingxuan didn't say anything directly, her silence was actually tacit approval.
Especially when Zhao Ritian called out to the Dan Valley disciples, she didn't stop him, which itself counted as cheating. So Yuntian stepped in to save Ye Lingshan, and the two were evenly matched.
As for Dongfang Yuyang, Yu Qingxuan also harbored a deep-seated disgust. Dongfang Yuyang's actions brought shame to everyone, including her.
As peerless powerhouses, everyone was on different sides and had different goals. No matter who won or lost, it was a fair competition. But Dongfang Yuyang's despicable actions would bring eternal infamy, which was what she hated most.
"Long Chen, you're too foolish. Why did you do this? Are you trying to make me a sinner for the ages? If you save me like this, you'd rather let me die. Ye Lingshan had just regained her strength. Looking at Long Chen, she finally couldn't hold back and burst into tears.
She could not face such a life; living was more painful than death. As she cried, she involuntarily threw herself into Long Chen's arms, her heart-wrenching cries heartbreaking.
She didn't know how to face the road ahead, how to face everyone in the Tianwu Alliance. At this moment, she was not a strong woman, but a confused, weak woman.
"Get some sleep. You're overthinking it. Since I dared to save you, I won't let you get into trouble." Long Chen patted Ye Lingshan's head, and Ye Lingshan immediately tilted her head and fell into a deep sleep.
Long Chen handed Ye Lingshan to Meng Qi, took a deep breath, and with the Dragonbone Evil Moon in hand, there was no other way left. All that remained was to fight.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, a divine light suddenly lit up atop the altar ahead. The Devouring Heaven Evil King sitting cross-legged in the center trembled and slowly stood up.
"Hehehe... The
Devouring Heaven Evil King stood up and suddenly let out a chilling, eerie laugh that pierced everyone's eardrums. The Dragonblood warriors immediately tensed up—the Devouring Heaven Evil King had been resurrected.
