When the iron gate closed, the rebirth monolith at the top of their heads began to slowly descend. According to Elder Tu Fang, they only had two hours.
If they couldnât kill their opponent in two hours, the rebirth monolith would fall, and their fates would be the same as those two âdrawingsâ from before.
Wu Qi unsheathed his longsword, and the aura of the peak mid Tendon Transformation realm immediately erupted.
âThis son of a b*tch was actually hiding his strength!â raged Wilde. When he had fought Wu Qi, Wu Qi had clearly not possessed such power!
âFoolish kid, thatâs obvious. This is a life and death battle, not a normal fight. Who would hold anything back?â scolded the old man.
âBastard, if I had known he was so sneaky, I would have smashed him with my club!â Wilde regretfully raged.
âAh, just watch calmly.â
Wu Qiâs completely unrestrained aura astonished everyone. Even from hundreds of meters away, they could still sense an incredible pressure. Wu Qi was much, much stronger than those previous two law enforcers.
Tang Wan-er and the others were incredibly worried now. But then seeing how calm Long Chen looked atop the death-deciding stage, they calmed back down a bit.
The current Long Chen did not appear angry, nor did he appear nervous, nor did he appear afraid. His eyes were merely completely calm, a calmness that was even a bit frightening.
There was not even the slightest emotion of his face. It was like he was just a spectator watching this.
âNow that youâre about to die, you suddenly decide to be calm?â Wu Qi raised his sword. The space around it was constantly trembling from its might.
âThe person who will die is you,â Long Chen icily replied, his bone blade resting on his shoulder, his aura constantly rising.
His huge divine ring appeared behind him. Even the huge rebirth monolith was unable to block it from crazily absorbing energy from heaven and earth.
Long Chenâs aura quickly rose, going from a small kitten to a fierce tiger.
At the same time, a rumbling came from his body. His aura caused the space around him to become unstable.
âWhat sound is that?â
Everyone could hear an extremely odd sound. It was almost like the roaring of a river.
Wildeâs master, Ling Yun-zi, and Tu Fang all looked in shock at Long Chen. They had found the source of that sound.
âItâs the sound of his blood flowingâŚâ Tu Fang muttered to himself.
That was the roaring of Long Chenâs blood. That was something that would happen when people entered the peak of Blood Condensation.
But for most cultivators, if that sound was able to be heard even a meter away, that would already mean they were extremely powerful.
If that sound could be heard over a couple meters away, that meant a personâs qi and blood had reached a shocking point, that their physical body was without compare. Even Gu Yang with his powerful physical body was only able to let that sound transmit out thirty meters.
But now Long Chenâs blood sounded like the pounding of a war drum. It could be clearly heard even five hundred meters away, and it even echoed along the surrounding mountains. It was truly shocking.
This fight was not the same as when he had fought Gu Yang. Although Long Chen detested Gu Yang and them, they were all cultivators who were struggling for resources. And so he didnât completely hate them.
But Little Snowâs miserable state had completely infuriated him. That desire to slaughter, which he had suppressed for so long, finally erupted.
Long Chen had always been a bit afraid of this desire for slaughter within him. He could sense that this desire came from the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art.
This desire had erupted out of his control once before. That was when his whole familyâs lives had been at stake. At that time, Long Chen had killed that white-robed man.
But by now he had realized that that white-robed man was actually only slightly stronger than the secular worldâs Tendon Transformation cultivators. He wasnât even close to the same level as the Tendon Transformation experts in the monastery. That was the difference between coming from a weak sect and a powerful sect like the Xuantian Monastery.
Facing a true peak mid Tendon Transformation expert now, Long Chen also didnât hold anything back, completely letting out his desire for slaughter.
Only when he no longer suppressed that desire would the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art reach its peak state. His blood roared, and countless golden particles flowed within it, his aura becoming increasingly powerful.
âNot bad, but itâs unfortunate youâre only a brat in the Blood Condensation realm. Today, the only one who will die is you! Maybe you should say some final words to your friends now; otherwise you wonât have a chance later,â sneered Wu Qi.
The energy from Long Chenâs body immediately doubled.
Pointing his bone blade at Wu Qi, Long Chen icily said, âPut away your infantile words. If you try to give me, Long Chen, a psychological blow, then that will just reveal your own heartâs terror.
âDo you think I canât see the panic in your eyes? Youâre afraid, afraid of being unable to kill me in the time limit and dying with me.
âYou want to break my confidence, hoping to use words to break my spirit. Donât bother.
âIn my life, I, Long Chen, have been attacked by countless enemies. Iâve experienced countless life and death battles, and Iâve walked out from the line between life and death. Do you really think your juvenile methods are able to shake my confidence?â
Long Chenâs voice was full of disdain. His powerful confidence made is so that no one doubted the veracity of his words.
Song Mingyuan and them were astonished. If what Long Chen said was true, then he had really experienced absolutely terrifying things.
âTch, rubbish. Since you donât want to be more tactful, then you can just die now.â Wu Qi roared and rushed at Long Chen, ruthlessly slashing his sword at Long Chenâs face.
His attack was extremely fast; as soon as he had moved, his sword had already practically reached Long Chen. His footwork was extremely sly.
But what shocked everyone was that Long Chen acted as if he didnât see Wu Qiâs sword, stabbing his bone blade at Wu Qiâs stomach.
The bone blade was over three meters long. The instant Wu Qiâs sword would slice through Long Chenâs face, his bone blade would also definitely pierce through his stomach.
This was a move to bring down an opponent with you, a suicide move. But Long Chenâs expression was still completely calm. There was not even the slightest ripple. It was as if he didnât even care about his own life.
But while Long Chen might not care about his life, Wu Qi definitely did. He was absolutely horrified.
He quickly brought back his longsword to block Long Chenâs bone blade. With his powerful Tendon Transformation cultivation base, Long Chenâs full force stab was blocked by him.
âAs expected, youâre afraid of death,â ridiculed Long Chen icily.
âBastard!â Wu Qi roared. Although he had blocked Long Chenâs bone blade, the power that had been behind it made his heart grow cold, almost injuring his inner organs.
He knew that all of Long Chenâs power had been concentrated on that bone blade. If he had been thrust through by it, the power behind it would have erupted like a volcano and he would definitely have died.
Wu Qi roared and strange lines appeared over his sword. A cold ray of Sword Qi slashed down on Long Chen.
But what was outside of everyoneâs expectations was that Long Chen also raised his bone blade high into the air.
âParting Wind Slash!â
Long Chen again seemed to act as if he still didnât see Wu Qiâs attack. A terrifying blade image appeared, slashing down on Wu Qi. This was clearly another suicidal attack to bring them both down.
Wu Qi was horrified; his Sword Qi would definitely kill Long Chen. But Long Chenâs blade image would also cut him to pieces.
It was already too late to dodge. He went all out to tilt his Sword Qi, bringing it clashing against Long Chenâs blade image.
When the two collided, Wu Qi immediately coughed out a mouthful of blood and retreated a couple steps.
That injury wasnât because of just Long Chenâs blade image. It was the effect of both their attacks. In order to forcibly change the direction of his Sword Qi, he had ended up receiving an internal impact. In ordinary times, that was just a slight shock and nothing to worry about.
But Long Chenâs full strength blade image had then crashed down on him. His Sword Qi had ended up losing over half its power because he had forcibly changed its path, causing him to be injured.
Seeing Wu Qi cough up blood, everyoneâs hearts jumped. Wu Qi was clearly incredibly powerful. But in front of Long Chen who was risking his life, he was unable to do anything at all.
As for Long Chen, he was completely calm. Even after two exchanges that could have cost him his life, his expression still didnât change. That kind of icy calmness was absolutely terrifying.
Wu Qi became infuriated. He had all kinds of powerful attacks, but both times he was forced back by Long Chen.
Just as he was preparing to once more attack him, Long Chenâs bone blade appeared before his face, just about to cut off his head.
He hastily twisted his head and jumped back. He just narrowly managed to avoid Long Chenâs attack.
But unfortunately, he had forgotten one thing. This was not the outside world, but the death-deciding stage. It was only a couple hundred meters wide.
After Long Chenâs previous two attacks, he had already been forced near the edge. Now that he had jumped backâŚ
With a loud bang, everyone was dumbfounded to see Wu Qiâs head slam into an iron pillar.
But it went without saying that his peak mid Tendon Transformation power was extremely great. Despite having shot back like a cannonball and then crashing into the pillar, only a trace of blood flowed down his head.
However, he was still extremely dizzy for a moment, stars appearing in his vision. But then realizing what situation he was in, he quickly recovered.
He had only just recovered from that bout of dizziness when he saw Long Chenâs bone bladeâs cutting a strange arc towards his stomach. It was so fast that he didnât have time to dodge.
In his fright, he threw his sword right at Long Chenâs heart. His sword wasnât as long as Long Chenâs bone blade, so in order to force him back, he had to throw his sword. That way his attack would arrive a bit faster and Long Chen would have to dodge, allowing him to escape his present predicament.
But what appalled everyone was that Long Chen still ignored the blade, continuing his attack.
Two weapons cut through flesh. Long Chenâs bone blade stabbed through Wu Qiâs stomach. But a sword was sticking out over Long Chenâs heart. For a moment, everyone was deathly silent.
