Free Web NovelChapter 7057 Killing the Chicken? Using Others?
“What the fuck?!”
The scholarly man felt as if he were living in a strange parallel reality. He had gathered up the top geniuses of the Jiuli race and they were ready to sacrifice their own lives to create a path for Long Chen to escape. Yet they hadn’t even started before Long Chen dumped a rock onto that path.
It was only possible to accomplish this while the other side was unaware. Now that the Heavenly Devil Zither was ready, they had no chance at all.
“Escape? You think you’re going to escape? Long Chen, if you’re smart, you’ll surrender. Otherwise, you’ll suffer a fate worse than death!” a disciple arrogantly shouted from amongst the Zither Sect’s camp.
Long Chen glanced through them and did not see Liao Yuhuang. He suddenly had a thought.
“Ah, I forgot to ask. I assume you guys have surrounded the divine capital?”
Cao Yuyang darkly replied, “Brat, you’re pretty sharp. Yes, the army of our three sects and the Brahma line are already headed to the divine capital. In order to prevent the outsider devils from taking advantage, we are going to finish the battle quickly both here and at the divine capital. We will be heading to the divine capital immediately after capturing you, so you don’t need to worry about stalling for time, let alone hoping for someone to save you. I’ll give you to the count of three. If you don’t surrender yourself, I’ll start killing. One...”
Cao Yuyang directly started counting, without giving Long Chen even a second to think.
Buzz.
At the same time, the void beside him flashed. A figure appeared beside him like a phantom.
Cao Yuyang’s expression completely changed. He was shocked to find that Long Chen was able to evade his senses! His senses were linked to the Heavenly Devil Zither, which meant that even the Heavenly Devil Zither was unable to lock onto Long Chen!
Fighting the sinking feeling in his gut, Cao yuyang waved his hand. A whip swung through the air, cutting that space in two. Yet Cao Yuyang’s expression once more changed.
This time, he had no chance to react. A hand appeared out of midair and slapped him in the face.
Pow!
Cao Yuyang went flying for a distance, then smashed into the ground like a meteorite. A massive hole appeared, and the surrounding buildings were blasted to bits.
“Who do you think you are to threaten me?”
Long Chen sneered. He was standing exactly where he’d stood before, acting as if that attack had nothing to do with him.
“The Jilui Tower’s core energy! You...” The Heavenly Devil Zither’s eyes narrowed. She stared at Long Chen.
As one of the ten primal chaos divine items, even if she was only an item-spirit, she instantly realized what had just happened. The reason Long Chen was able to escape from her lock and sneak attack Cao Yuyang was that he could control the core energy of another primal chaos divine item. In fact, Long Chen was likely able to control more of the Jiuli Tower’s core energy than even these Elders of the Jiuli race all added up together.
The Jiuli race’s experts were all stunned. Long Chen had actually struck first and managed to slap Cao Yuyang in the face! Cao Yuyang, the very master of the Zither Sect! Just how humiliating was this slap?
The scholarly man’s heart leapt wildly. “Does this mean...?”
Just then, Long Chen’s voice rang out in his mind. “Have everyone step back a bit. Otherwise, you might get splattered!”
The Jiuli race’s experts were like a flock of headless chickens. They had no idea what they should be doing. Jiang Li was leading the elders against Long Can and the traitors fighting over control of the Jiuli Tower, but they were unable to help Jiang Li. Nor did they even know if they should help Jiang Li. After all, he was the one who had invited these people in just to kill Long Chen. He had brought the Jiuli Divine Realm to the brink of destruction. How were they supposed to trust him again?
The scholarly man didn’t seem to do anything. But all the Jiuli race’s experts, young and old, began to slowly fall back. It was as if they had given up resisting and were planning on just being spectators. The Heavenly Devil Zither gave them a sideways glance, then proceeded to ignore them altogether.
BOOM!
The earth collapsed, and Cao Yuyang came flying out. Half his face was destroyed, his hair was in disarray, and he was a complete mess overall. More than that, he was outraged. After being on-guard for everything, he still failed to stop Long Chen’s sneak attack. He could not understand why the Heavenly Devil Zither’s lock failed!
Long Chen’s slap contained no killing intent, and thus it did not trigger his instincts. However, the power behind it was still absolutely terrifying. If the Heavenly Devil Zither had not unleashed its power at the critical moment, his head would have been blown apart.
Meanwhile, Long Chen himself was rather surprised. He had advanced to the third Heavenstage, so he had expected his strength to increase drastically, but this surpassed his expectations.
“You little brat, I’ll rip you to shreds!” Cao Yuyang’s roar shook the heavens. Blood-colored light raged around him. His air flew back. He looked like a devil god.
BOOM!
The void twisted, and an ancient zither appeared. Seven strings vibrated in unison, and an ominous aura filled the air.
“It’s the Heavenly Devil Zither!” shouted in terror the Jiuli race’s experts. Cao Yuyang had summoned the Heavenly Devil Zither! Did this mean that the battle was over? ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Just then, a sneer rang out. “There’s no need to go so far. Let me do it!”
A young disciple stepped in front of Cao Yuyang, drawing out a three-foot-blade. A sharp aura unfurled. When this saber streaked through the air, it caused a strange soundwave to spread. Space itself became the medium through which this sound was transmitted; as the soundwave traveled, the space ripples it caused were visible for all to see.
Those ripples spread far and wide, and the moment they touched anyone, that person felt their soul shudder, then vibrate in tune with the saber. They felt as if they were no longer living in reality, but inside an illusion.
“The sound of that saber can affect the soul and bewilder the mind! This is a Divine Sovereign law item that can unleash the laws of the new era!”
“He must be one of the Zither Sect’s peak experts! That saber has profound sound runes carved on top of it. It is definitely no ordinary Divine Sovereign law item.”
The Jiuli race’s experts who had retreated whispered amongst themselves.
“The Jiuli Divine Realm only has a few dozen Divine Sovereign law items like that one. Most of them are in the hands of the elders that were blessed by the Jiuli Tower. Only a few disciples got anything like that.” ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Quite a few people looked towards that scholarly man. He was actually one of the pillars of the Jiuli race’s junior generation, and he himself was one of those who had such a weapon.
At the same time, hundreds of young disciples of the Chess Sect and Painting Sect also drew their weapons and stepped forwards. Their killing intent locked onto Long Chen.
“Let’s see who will get to kill this fellow who claims to be the number one figure of the nine heavens!”
That expert from the Zither Sect sneered, and his essence rune ignited. He and his saber streaked through the air like a bolt of lightning. The might of a fourth-Heavenstage sovereign Lord concentrated onto the tip of the saber along with vast law power, and the blade emitted ear-piercing explosive sounds.
“Remember this! The one who killed you is Li Yao! Sound law—Sundering Destruction!”
The Jilui race’s experts’ eyes widened. “Heavens, he can instantly accumulate his law power! He wants to decide victory or defeat in one blow!”
Li Yao was truly powerful. He seemed the overconfident kind, but he actually had immense control. Even the Jiuli race’s top geniuses were amazed.
Long Chen smiled slightly. He closed his eyes. When he opened them, he had one rune in his right eye and another rune in his left. He activated his Heaven-Earth power.
He raised a single finger, and a small Taiji diagram appeared on his fingertip. Then, he simply placed his finger against the tip of Li Yao’s blade.
