Dong Mingyu looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old. Her pretty face still had a trace of youthâs tenderness. She looked like a beautiful sprite, which made people instinctively feel an urge to protect her.
However, this seemingly innocent-looking girl was actually the Bloodkill Hallâs most terrifying assassin, the divine daughter Dong Mingyu. People were simply dumbfounded, not daring to believe their eyes.
Furthermore, Dong Mingyu said that the person that had given her her life was Long Chen. Although people had started to have suspicions a bit before, hearing this from her was shocking.
This change was shockingly sudden. The Bloodkill Hallâs divine daughter had actually betrayed the Bloodkill Hall and taken action at this critical juncture.
Dong Mingyu cut her dagger across the Pill Fairyâs forehead. Startled cries rang out as people thought that Dong Mingyu was going to kill the Pill Fairy.
However, Dong Mingyuâs dagger merely cut the Pill Fairyâs skin without going deeper. A black rune appeared on the Pill Fairyâs forehead and instantly spread throughout her face.
âIâve sealed your Yuan Spirit. I wonât kill you because he also has never truly tried to kill you. Iâll spare your life, but if you try to use the power of your Yuan Spirit, my Killing God Divine Seal will shatter your Yuan Spirit. At that time, you canât blame me.â After placing her seal, Dong Mingyu slowly retracted her dagger.
The Pill Fairy glared at Dong Mingyu. âYou betrayed your god. Do you know the consequences?â
Dong Mingyu had taken a few steps away from her, but she suddenly turned back and smiled at the Pill Fairy. âOf course I know. Back in the day, he took a poison arrow to the heart and still didnât kill me. From that time, my life was no longer my own. Iâm willing to accept all my sins for him.â
Dong Mingyu took another step and vanished. When she reappeared, she was in front of the Blood Emperor. The figure of the Killing God appeared within her manifestation, and her dagger blocked the Blood Emperorâs attacks.
âBig brother Long Chen, do you still remember me?â Dong Mingyu looked at Long Chen with her innocent eyes, full of warmth.
âYouâŠ?â Long Chen didnât even notice what had been happening outside his battle with the Emperors. He had been completely focused, otherwise, he would have died. Hence, for a girl to suddenly charge over and block the Blood Emperor made him jump.
Examining her closely, he was lost. He didnât know this person, but there was something familiar about this girlâs eyes.
âBig brother, have you forgotten? In the Eastern Wastelandâs Qingzhou City, there was a bloody battle fought in the streets. There was a girl holding a doll cryingâŠ,â said Dong Mingyu.
âItâs you! But no, how could you have grown so much?â Long Chen immediately thought of that moment. At that time, he had known that the girl had been part of the assassins but hadnât killed her. He had allowed her concealed weapon to stab into his heart and let her go.
Zi Yan had been present at that time, and it was precisely because of that act of mercy that she had started feeling well toward him.
However, Dong Mingyuâs age didnât match the time that had passed. She should be around the same age as Long Chenâs little sister, Long Xiaoyu. She should be ten years old.
âI was rewarded for injuring you at that time. I underwent the divine ceremony, and my life completely changed. I was chosen by the god to become his divine daughter. After that, I entered the Killing Godâs space. Ten years passed inside, but only one year passed in the outside world. I was four when I entered the Killing Godâs space, and I was fourteen years old when I exited. Ever since I left, my life, my face, my body, theyâve been frozen forever. After that, I did my best to cultivate so that I could help you. Big brother Long Chen, Iâm very happy today.â Dong Mingyu smiled at Long Chen. That smile was very naive and brilliant.
BOOM!
Without even turning away from him, Dong Mingyuâs dagger stabbed behind her. The image of the Killing God within her manifestation exploded, and a wave of divine light blew away the Blood Emperorâs attacks.
With her god energy, Dong Mingyu was actually able to block the Blood Emperorâs attacks. Long Chen was filled with various emotions. He hadnât expected that little bit of kindness from back then to save him now.
âBig brother Long Chen, Iâll block the Blood Emperor. You and the others can handle the Stone Emperor. I have the Killing Godâs energy protecting me, which is also a form of faith energy. The Blood Emperor canât do anything to me,â said Dong Mingyu.
Long Chen nodded. âAlright. Be careful.â
At this time, there was no need to say thanks. Wielding Evilmoon, Long Chen shot toward the Stone Emperor.
Wilde and Mo Nian were covered in blood, while Guo Ran was constantly coughing up blood inside his armor. After blocking so many attacks, the runes carved into his armor were starting to break, causing his defensive power to drop.
Wilde was charging in front of Mo Nian over and over again to take the attacks. He looked terrible. Mo Nian was also in a wretched state, and his manifestation was starting to dim. The Stone Emperorâs heroic spirit was just too terrifying.
When Long Chen joined them, he took the vanguard position, giving the other three some time to breathe.
âHe needs to burn up all his faith energy to dissipate. But once all his faith energy is exhausted, then the Stone race will forever fall and probably never achieve their past glory. They might even be destroyed from burning up all their karmic luck. Thatâs why both heroic spirits are trying to kill us using the least amount of power, to conserve their faith energy and karmic luck for their descendants,â said Mo Nian.
BOOM!
Long Chenâs saber slammed into Shi Changshengâs attack, and he was forced back. Shi Changsheng extended a hand toward him but was blocked by the drake kingâs claw.
The drake kingâs claw crumbled, but he managed to block it. If it werenât for the drake king, they would have long since been killed.
The drake king had summoned a giant lightning sea and used all the lightning domainâs power to fight.
The lightning sea inhibited the movements of the two heroic spirits. Within it, their power was lowered. Otherwise, even though the four of them were working together, they wouldnât be able to hold out against these existences which had shaken the cultivation world before. Even if they were just two heroic spirits, they were incredibly powerful.
âDrake king, are you alright?â asked Long Chen.
âIâm fine, but the bad news is that these constant injuries are rapidly reducing the lightning domainâs energy. I donât know how much longer I can last,â answered the drake king.
All the lightning drakes within the lightning field had transformed into divine runes supporting the drake king. Despite that, every collision caused its body to explode. Although it could immediately condense a new body, the lightning domainâs energy was not limitless. Once too much of its energy was used up, its combat power would drop.
âKill!â
Just as Qu Jianying was fighting against the leaders of the various large powers, and Long Chen was fighting against the heroic spirits of past Emperors, Tian Xiezi, Kun Pengzi, and Dongfang Yuyang charged toward the Dragonblood Legion.
At the same time, the armies of the Corrupt path, the ancient races, the ancient family alliance, the Stone race, the Xuan Beasts, Pill Valley, and the other powers also attacked, both the members of the current generation and the monsters of the elder generation.
They had all witnessed just how powerful the Dragonblood Legion was. This time, they had to use their full force and bring the Dragonblood Legion down in one thunderous clash. That was the only way to reduce their casualties.
âAre you going?â
Beitang Rushuang looked at the distant Nangong Zuiyue, and for the first time, took the initiative to speak to her spiritually. She wanted to see what Nangong Zuiyue thought.
âYes. All we need to do is block one, not kill them. The state of the continent is still unclear. We need dependability over all else. Iâll block Dongfang Yuyang, you block Kun Pengzi.â
After receiving Beitang Rushuangâs message, Nangong Zuiyue didnât hesitate any longer. A water current appeared around her, and she vanished.
BOOM!
The space in front of Dongfang Yuyang suddenly exploded, with Water Qi bursting out. A silver waterfall crashed down from the heavens.
In front of the waterfall was a peerlessly beautiful woman surrounded by mist and flying water droplets.
âFairy Zuiyue, what do you think youâre doing?!â Dongfang Yuyangâs expression changed.
âMister Dongfang, the cycle of karma includes all things within this world. For you to target Long Chen like this, are you really not afraid of reaping bad karma?â asked Nangong Zuiyue.
âFairy Zuiyue, do you wish to help Long Chen?â Dongfang Yuyangâs expression was dark with fury.
He was quite confident in his learning and talent. His cultivation base was also unrivaled. Hence, he was confident in being able to move any womanâs heart. But he had run into a setback when it came to Nangong Zuiyue and Beitang Rushuang.
During the gathering of past and present heroes, Long Chen had just met them and they already began to circle around him. Most hateful of all, the two of them were clearly enemies, but just for Long Chen, they acted fine and at peace.
He was actually full of hatred over that matter inside. Long Chen might not have targeted him specifically, but due to Nangong Zuiyue and Beitang Rushuang, he felt a profound feeling of defeat. Long Chen had beaten him in the area he was most confident in.
For Nangong Zuiyue to actually stand against him now and become enemies with all the various large powers just because of Long Chen, the flames of jealousy were fanned within his heart.
âSince you refuse to differentiate between right and wrong, donât blame me!â Dongfang Yuyang roared. He directly sent the Astral Ancient Castle smashing toward Nangong Zuiyue.
âNot differentiating between right and wrong is at least better than intentionally inverting right and wrong, right? Thereâs no need to say any more. I will not be letting you pass.â Nangong Zuiyue formed a hand seal. The waterfall behind her exploded into a giant water dragon.
BOOM!
The water dragon crashed against the castle. Waves of water exploded through the air.
âFour Dragons Converge, Waves Swallow the Heavens.â
Nangong Zuiyue formed more hand seals, and a giant sea condensed in the surrounding space. Four water dragons shot toward Dongfang Yuyang along with giant waves.
At this moment, Beitang Rushuang had also started hunting down Kun Pengzi, her bow blazing with divine light. Moreover, her body was enveloped by divine flames, making her look like a war goddess.
Her bow quivered, and arrows rained down upon Kun Pengzi.
Dongfang Yuyang and Kun Pengzi had been blocked. Meanwhile, Tian Xiezi was flying over with his soul summoning banner when a zither rang through the air, causing his expression to change.
An ancient zither appeared in the sky, along with a woman sitting calmly. Her hands brushed across her zither as she looked at Tian Xiezi.
