Chapter 273 - Fight Against Emperor Yuan
This was the first time Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang had to team up. Emperor Yuan was a fearsome opponent that required both of them to fight together!
Emperor Yuan’s gaze was cold and he said nothing. He launched himself with his powerful legs, becoming a mountain that moved with unbelievable speed.
Long Chen was at a loss for what to do when he felt the incredible pressure.
He knew that he could not fight Emperor Yuan directly; only Mo Xiaolang could do so. Long Chen’s role was to harass Emperor Yuan from the side.
Long Chen immediately dodged sideways while Mo Xiaolang crashed into Emperor Yuan head-on. A demonic beast’s body was very strong even when compared with cultivators with Body Tempering Techniques, especially a demonic beast with a legendary bloodline like the Sun Devouring Wolf.
As for Emperor Yuan, he could only use half the power of a demonic beast. He was inferior to Mo Xiaolang in terms of physical strength and size. Thanks to that, he was blown back by Mo Xiaolang in the first clash.
“Blood Devouring Domain!” Long Chen used his strongest technique instantly. Thankfully, it was not a technique that attacked indiscriminately; he could target specific people with it. Even though Mo Xiaolang was inside the range of the Blood Devouring Domain, it did not affect him at all. But it was different for Emperor Yuan. Facing the strong suction power, he felt his blood running wild in his body.
Is this the technique that killed the Eastern Azure Dragon Patriarch?! Emperor Yuan was shocked. Still, Long Chen’s Qi was inferior to Emperor Yuan’s, so the Blood Devouring Domain wasn’t that effective.
Still, it was not a pleasant feeling to have countless blades cutting up his body during battle.
Mo Xiaolang used the chance to pounce at Emperor Yuan. At the same time, black flames sprouted from Mo Xiaolang’s mouth. The black flames took on the shape of a wolf that ran towards Emperor Yuan! The temperature around the flames plummeted drastically.
“What is that?” Emperor Yuan was shocked. The fire gave him a bone-chilling sensation. Under the effect of Long Chen’s Blood Devouring Domain, he felt like his Body Combat Technique was somewhat affected, so he had no choice but to use a martial technique!
“Clear Water Shield!”
A shield made of water appeared in front of Emperor Yuan. The shield flowed in a rhythm as faint runes flickered on its surface.
When the technique was complete, Emperor Yuan threw the shield forward while stepping back. The shield exploded the moment it came into contact with the Nine Devil Ancestral Fire. Some of the fire fell to the ground.
The sound of explosions could be heard as black ice appeared on the ground. When Emperor Yuan landed on the ice, he was shocked to see the ice disintegrate into dust. The mud and debris on the ground was gone!
What kind of fire is that?! Emperor Yuan was shocked and felt relieved that he had made the right decision. If he had taken that attack head-on, he would be nothing but dust!
Long Chen’s Blood Devouring Domain and Mo Xiaolang’s Nine Devils Ancestral Fire were clear indications that they were unique. If they had time to improve, Emperor Yuan knew that they would become absolute beings that could dominate others. Therefore, he could’t let them live knowing that they had a grudge now.
Seeing that they had failed to kill Emperor Yuan with their strongest techniques, the sworn brothers felt the pressure intensify. It would be even more difficult to kill Emperor Yuan with the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire now that he was wary of it.
Long Chen knew that even though Mo Xiaolang had consumed the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire, he had not refined it yet. Unlike the Mother & Son Flame Crystal, the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire hadn’t been fully absorbed, so he could only control a part of it. However, as his demonic energy became stronger, Mo Xiaolang could potentially control all of it in the future.
Once they revealed the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire, Emperor Yuan was even more determined to kill Long Chen. If he let Long Chen live, the latter would get stronger one day and would come back for revenge in the future!
“Ninth Stage Shattered Void!” Emperor Yuan roared and punched.
He positioned himself between Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang before swinging his fist.
Mo Xiaolang had to focus on fighting a foe at the Second River Stage. Since he could only control a small portion of the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire, he couldn’t attack with it as he pleased. He had missed once already, so he had to be certain that the next shot would hit.
Thankfully, the Sun Devouring Wolf’s body was strong enough to face off against Emperor Yuan. At the very least, he could avoid getting injured!
Emperor Yuan’s fist and Mo Xiaolang’s claws crashed into each other, resulting in both of them being blown back by the impact. Mo Xiaolang realized too late what Emperor Yuan’s true goal was.
Emperor Yuan had positioned himself between the brothers! When he was blown back, he used the momentum to quickly launch himself towards Long Chen! He turned at the last moment and quickly launched an attack!
His real target was Long Chen all along!
Long Chen had failed to realize it too. He had underestimated Emperor Yuan’s hatred towards him. Even though Long Chen was weaker, he was the owner of the wolf! Emperor Yuan thought that as long as Long Chen died, he wouldn’t need to worry about the wolf.
“Did you never think that you would be my main target, you brat? Let’s see how you escape this!” Emperor Yuan snarled. His attack was even stronger than his previous one. It was also the strongest attack that Yan Danqing had shown before!
“Die! Peak Essence Shredding Punch!”
The Earth-tier martial technique was simple but unbelievably powerful! The attack was like an electric drill that closed in on Long Chen!
Long Chen could do nothing when he saw Emperor Yuan cutting him off from Mo Xiaolang. Thankfully, he had been prepared and used the Nine Fire Spinning Shields when Emperor Yuan used the Peak Essence Shredding Punch.
He completed the sixth rotation when Emperor Yuan’s attack was nearing him. Long Chen thought he could block the attack, but he realized something at the last moment.
He had defeated the Eastern Azure Dragon Patriarch and killed Yan Danqing in just a single day. That meant that he had used up a lot of his Qi. When he used the Nine Fire Spinning Shields, he realized his Qi was close to depleting!
He could not stop the attack!
“Xiaolang, save me!”
The Nine Fire Spinning Shields was destroyed by Emperor Yuan. He only had to use two Peak Essence Shredding Punches to break the shield and expose Long Chen!
“You will die this time!” Emperor Yuan laughed as he launched a palm attack at Long Chen. He was more than strong enough to tear Long Chen apart with physical strength alone!
“Heaven Shaking Palm!”
Emperor Yuan’s claw became a palm that came from above! Long Chen felt like the sky was crashing down on him, causing him to kneel. Emperor Yuan’s technique was undoubtedly an intermediate Earth-tier martial technique!
It was his strongest attack!
Shit! Long Chen saw his life flashing! But experience told him that he had to remain calm no matter how dangerous the situation was. Mo Xiaolang was already at Emperor Yuan’s back, but he dared not use the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire, because Long Chen was just in front of Emperor Yuan.
“Azure Dragon Technique, Nine Heavens Dragon Ascension!”
Long Chen used his strongest technique, the one that had killed the Eastern Azure Dragon family patriarch! Even though his Qi was lacking, it was almost as strong as Emperor Yuan’s attack!
When the two opposing forces collided, a massive shockwave burst forth.
Emperor Yuan laughed maniacally. Long Chen felt like he was hitting a large mountain, the impact causing his palms to bleed. The Azure Dragon Halberd was knocked away by intense force, and Long Chen’s legs sunk into the ground from the impact.
This was the most serious injury he had taken thus far. But to his dismay, Emperor Yuan’s attack did not stop even though Mo Xiaolang was about to hit him in the back. Emperor Yuan gritted his teeth and smacked Long Chen away with one last attack.
Emperor Yuan was knocked away by Mo Xiaolang at the same time. He spat out blood, his face pale. There were numerous gashes on his back, each one deep enough to reveal bone and bleeding profusely.
If Long Chen were to use the Blood Devouring Domain now, he would be able to absorb all of the blood, but he was severely injured!
Seeing Long Chen getting injured and being launched into the air, Mo Xiaolang howled angrily. He did not attack Emperor Yuan a second time, because he was more worried about Long Chen. He managed to catch Long Chen on his back before landing gracefully.
Long Chen was in a much more precarious state than he had thought. He finally understood what Emperor Yuan meant about not underestimating an old man’s methods.
To think that Emperor Yuan would take the attack from Mo Xiaolang in order to cripple Long Chen!
