Free Web NovelChapter 1666: Chapter 1663: Devouring the Heavenly Blade Ancestor!
The strangulation had long grown weary of being in the dimensional space.
Now that the opportunity had arisen to make an appearance, naturally it wouldn’t pass it up?
Seeing a Divine Soul of the Middle Mahayana Realm trying to escape, she drooled like a puppy seeing a tasty bone.
Immediately, countless Soul Vines pierced through layers of void, like a crisscrossing spider web, overwhelming and descending upon the Heavenly Blade Ancestor.
The strangulation enjoys devouring Divine Souls and has an innate ability to counter all things undead.
Even though the Heavenly Blade Ancestor still had the battle strength of the Early Mahayana, in front of the strangulation, he could hardly exert half of his power.
At this moment, he was like a mouse meeting a cat, with no way but to flee for his life.
Though the strangulation was a terrifying existence that made countless species tremble, it had the temperament of a child.
Moreover, having been bored in the dimensional space for so long, it wanted to take this opportunity to have some fun.
It immediately started toying with the Heavenly Blade Ancestor like a cat playing with a mouse.
Poor Heavenly Blade Ancestor, his fame throughout the ages, yet he ended up in such a pitiful state, truly lamentable.
Seeing the strangulation getting playful, Li Chen couldn’t help but frown and sternly rebuke, "My dear daughter, stop playing, devour him quickly!"
Seeing Li Chen getting seemingly angry, the strangulation obediently put away its mischievousness.
Immediately, the thousands upon thousands of Soul Vines exerted force simultaneously, relentlessly squeezing the Heavenly Blade Ancestor’s space for survival.
Until he was completely trapped within.
The Heavenly Blade Ancestor used all his strength to try and escape the binding of the strangulation, but to no avail.
In his utter exhaustion, facing the soul erosion of the strangulation, he could no longer resist, like a salted fish being slowly devoured clean by a cat.
The once mighty and awe-inspiring Heavenly Blade Ancestor perished in such a humiliating manner.
"Hiss!"
Seeing Li Chen summon another eerie daughter from beyond the sky, everyone, whether it was Long Ming, the Great Elder, or other disciples of the Divine Dragon Sect, were dumbfounded, gasping continuously.
"What kind of monster is this, how could it be so terrifying?"
The Great Elder, desperately trying to break free from the restrictive array, was stunned by the swift and clean way the strangulation dealt with the Heavenly Blade Ancestor’s Divine Soul, his actions halting in shock.
As he was momentarily distracted, the tendrils of the strangulation infiltrated the restrictive array, sweeping towards the Great Elder.
The Great Elder was terrified, using all his strength to resist.
But unfortunately, in the face of the extremely horrifying devouring power of the strangulation, all his resistance was futile.
In just 15 minutes, the Great Elder was left without the strength to fight back, like fish on a chopping block, ready for slaughter.
Seeing this, Long Ming was greatly shocked, wanting to lend a hand.
But was forcibly stopped by Li Chen.
During the fierce battle between Long Ming and Li Chen, a shrill scream suddenly pierced the sky.
Then, the Great Elder’s body was torn apart by countless vines, turning into a rain of blood that watered the branches.
As for his Divine Soul, in front of an artifact like the strangulation, how could it possibly escape?
After continuously devouring the Divine Souls of both the Heavenly Blade Ancestor and the Great Elder of the Divine Dragon Sect, the strangulation let out a satisfied belch.
When she saw Long Ming, she ignited with a faint green light again.
Like a wolf suddenly seeing a fat lamb.
To a super glutton, there is no such thing as being full.
As long as there is something delicious, even if the belly is already bulging, they’ll say they can still eat some more.
Long Ming, however, was chilled by the horrifying gaze of the strangulation.
Now, the three Elder of the Mahayana Realm under him were all dead or injured.
The Mountain Guardian Beast of his sect, the Ninth-level Great Calamity adult Python Dragon, was also tightly entangled by the Red Tiger, Taotie, and Jiao Long.
Now only he was left, truly a lone tree struggling to hold up.
He felt a sense of helplessness in facing Li Chen alone.
Now there was an even more insane daughter than Li Chen!
And who knows if Li Chen had other trump cards up his sleeve?
No one could guarantee that the strangulation was his last card.
If he summoned another heaven-defying creature, then both he and his entire sect would be doomed.
After weighing the pros and cons, Long Ming made a decision he would never have considered before.
Bow his head to a junior!
However, on second thought, the Heavenly Blade Ancestor and his Heavenly Blade Sect had already been destroyed by Li Chen.
If he didn’t bow his head and insisted on resisting to the end, then his Divine Dragon Sect would surely follow in the footsteps of the Heavenly Blade Sect and be completely wiped out.
And he would end up like the Heavenly Blade Ancestor, perishing utterly.
Compared to his life and the fate of his entire sect, so-called dignity was worth less than a penny.
Understanding this crux, Long Ming no longer hesitated, immediately cupping his hands towards Li Chen and loudly shouting, "Fellow Taoist Li Chen, how about a truce between us?"
Hearing Long Ming’s words, Li Chen curled a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Haha, now that you see the tide has turned, you want a truce? Don’t you think it’s a bit late?"
Hearing Li Chen’s taunt, a flash of anger crossed Long Ming’s heart.
However, he quickly regained his composure and calmly said, "Fellow Taoist Li Chen, there is no grievance or enmity between us, all the conflict was because of the Heavenly Blade Ancestor."
"Now that the Heavenly Blade Ancestor is dead, and my Divine Dragon Sect paid the price of three elders, no matter how you calculate it, you haven’t lost, have you?"
Li Chen did not reply but looked at Long Ming, gesturing for him to continue.
He knew that Long Ming wouldn’t use such nonsense as a reason to bury the hatchet.
The other party must have other more legitimate reasons!
As expected, seeing Li Chen’s interest piqued, Long Ming rearranged his thoughts and continued:
"Fellow Taoist Li Chen, you might not know, but in ten days, the Star Ruins Secret Realm will open!"
"Now, though you can kill me and wipe out my entire Divine Dragon Sect, haven’t you considered that if you truly push me to the edge, with nothing to lose, if I self-destruct, how much will you gain?"
After Long Ming spoke, his eyes, like unsheathed blades, locked onto Li Chen’s expression, seemingly wanting to see through him entirely.
Li Chen knew Long Ming was right.
The reason he was able to have the strangulation kill the Heavenly Blade Ancestor and the Great Elder before was because of a surprise attack, catching the opponent off guard.
If the opponents were well-prepared, it wouldn’t be so easy to kill them that smoothly.
At least, it wouldn’t be that easy!
Moreover, now that Long Ming had directly brought up the point, if he was pushed too hard, he would self-destruct.
By that time, even if he could kill him, it would surely be a loss to kill a thousand enemies and suffer eight hundred damages himself.
If his foundation was severely damaged, even with his demonic talent, it would take eight to ten years of convalescence for recovery.
If during this period, the Sky Demon Palace’s group of Great Calamities came knocking, how could he deal with it?
Besides, he was very interested in the Star Ruins Secret Realm mentioned by Long Ming!
