Free Web NovelChapter 2029: Chapter 2027: The Death of Bi Chen
In the clash of experts, life and death hang by a thread.
The appearance of the sword gourd caught Bi Chen off guard, and the brief shock and distraction gave Chen Xuanhai a perfect opportunity to strike.
This sword pierced through Bi Chen’s protective demon origin, cutting right through, and blood splattered.
The physiques of the Demon Race are exceedingly strong, especially for someone like Bi Chen, standing at the pinnacle of the Demon Race’s power. Even though he has lost an arm now, the pure demon origin cultivated over thousands of years provides a defense that ordinary means can’t break.
However, Chen Xuanhai’s talisman sword is not an ordinary talisman sword; it is the crystallization of his years of cultivation, arguably the top magic treasure below the affiliated treasures of this world.
Even so, it didn’t immediately take Bi Chen’s life!
He suddenly turned his head, eyes wide with anger, raised his remaining arm, and grabbed Chen Xuanhai’s wrist. The demon origin fiercely activated, clashing with Chen Xuanhai’s mana, and unexpectedly, it restrained Chen Xuanhai’s movements.
Under the premise of demon origin and mana evenly matched, comparing physical strength alone, even with the double secret techniques applied, Chen Xuanhai can’t surpass Bi Chen, the Great Demon Venerable.
"Want me dead?" Bi Chen spoke, the taste of blood filled the air, his gaze deep, his aura unyielding, unaffected by his severe injuries, "Then you might have to join me in the grave!"
At this point in the battle, he wasn’t willing to continue, expressing such a threat is undoubtedly a plea for a way out. If Chen Xuanhai hesitated even slightly, Bi Chen might have a chance to escape.
Unfortunately, Chen Xuanhai’s expression didn’t change at all; instead, he looked at him with some pity, sighed slowly, and said: "Demon Venerable Bi Chen is a name I have long heard, it resounds like thunder, what a pity..."
Bi Chen naturally understood what he pitied; he glanced sideways, in that direction, Lu Ye was already wielding a saber and charging over, he remarked coldly, "A newly ascended Sun Blaze, I’ll stand here and let him strike, what can he do?"
He was currently locked in a confrontation with Chen Xuanhai, unable to move, truly a sitting target for attack.
Though it’s unclear why the intelligence described Lu Ye as only Moon Jade Realm, yet he progressed to Sun Blaze, after all, he’s only just ascended.
Just as Moon Jade can’t harm Sun Blaze, being a Peak Sun Blaze elite, facing a newcomer, Bi Chen had this confidence.
Chen Xuanhai could break his demon origin because he was strong enough, but a mere newly ascended Sun Blaze, how could he?
"Then you better stand firm!" Lu Ye heard his words, responded faintly, and with several leaps, he reached Bi Chen’s side and fiercely slashed down with the Boulder Mountain Saber.
Bi Chen’s eyes showed disdain; his demon origin fiercely stimulated, confident that with his own demon origin and physique, Lu Ye couldn’t possibly harm him. Once he shook off Chen Xuanhai, he could escape.
As for that affiliated treasure earlier... Lu Ye had taken it back, this affiliated treasure is known to require long nurturing time or significant cost each time it is used. That sword light, after breaking his arm, had already greatly diminished in power, Bi Chen didn’t concern himself too much with it.
At the moment the long saber slashed down, Lu Ye’s right arm holding the saber suddenly swelled, nearly half of his mana and blood Qi condensed in that arm, and the Boulder Mountain Saber became illusory, resembling a shadow of a blade, devoid of substance. freēwebnovel.com
The pure protective demon origin was easily breached, flesh and blood separated, the body sundered.
At the smoothly cut neck, blood gushed out like a fountain, the body twitched and trembled...
The large head flew off a short distance, suspended nearby, Bi Chen blinked and solemnly looked at Lu Ye, his mouth moved: "What name is this move...?"
Even with body severed, he didn’t immediately die, showing the terrifying resilience.
Lu Ye stood beside his corpse now, blood Qi steaming from his right arm, mist swirling, and upon hearing, he glanced aside and said: "Vibrating Saber!"
"I think it should be called Saw Saber!" Bi Chen spoke, his eyes lowered, staring at the Boulder Mountain Saber in his hand: "You have an excellent saber!"
With thousands of years of cultivation, Bi Chen’s discernment was sharp; whether Vibrating Saber or Saw Saber, those are merely techniques, far from saber skills; the true reason for such terrifying destructive power is the sharpness of the Boulder Mountain Saber.
With another magic treasure, under the same circumstances, it might not have the same effect.
"No matter how good the saber, it depends on who wields it." Lu Ye calmly replied, Bi Chen’s words clearly showed dissatisfaction, and he wouldn’t indulge him.
Bi Chen remained silent, his eyelids gradually closing.
Yet at this very moment, his closed eyelids suddenly opened again, terrifying soul power fluctuations surged outward, directly targeting Lu Ye, from the bloody mouth came a roar: "Despair!"
In an instant, the pure soul power became visible, forming a vortex of force, even before closing in, Lu Ye felt a massive threat.
Bi Chen’s eyes flashed with delight, decapitated by a newly ascended Sun Blaze, how could he be content? The previous calm was mere pretense, idle chatter intended to make Lu Ye lower his guard. The true kill move revealed at this last instant.
He didn’t want to die in confusion, even in death, he wanted to drag Lu Ye down with him!
This is his hard-earned Soul Suppressing Secret Technique, a projection of his own psyche. With such an eruption, regardless of Lu Ye’s outcome, he himself would certainly disappear without a trace.
Originally, he thought Lu Ye would panic, but upon raising his eyes, he found Lu Ye simply standing leisurely, seemingly unaware of the impending crisis.
On the contrary, over at Chen Xuanhai’s side, a shadow suddenly flashed, and an unfamiliar figure abruptly appeared in front of Lu Ye, casually blocking his Soul Suppressing Secret Technique with a wave of the hand.
Bi Chen was extremely shocked, concentrating to examine the suddenly appearing stranger, vaguely feeling that this person seemed not to be a creature of flesh and blood.
Thinking back to previous occurrences, and now with the Dwarf Race’s surprising burst of Sun Blaze strength far beyond imagination, an unbelievable notion flashed through his mind.
Soul Tribe?
Yes, it turns out to be the Soul Tribe’s Soul Possession Technique, no wonder the Dwarf Race’s Sun Blaze power could be so strong, it was aided by the Soul Tribe in secret, which explained why during his clashes with Chen Xuanhai, he was at a definite disadvantage in psyche encounters.
Who could surpass the Soul Tribe in cultivation of the Path of the Psyche?
Even his explosively powerful Soul Suppressing Secret Technique would mean nothing in front of the Soul Tribe.
Many doubts were resolved, he wanted to transmit audio to inform other Demon Sovereigns, but endless darkness descended, engulfing his body and mind.
Separated from his body, even a Great Demon Venerable like him couldn’t hold on any longer. freёwebnoѵel.com
Within the Sun Blaze battle regiment, the strongest aura belonging to Zixuan vanished.
Other already frantic Demon Sovereigns grew even more panicked...
Though they were not opponents of the Dwarf Race’s Sun Blaze, as long as the two Great Demon Venerables survived, they still had hopes of escaping.
But now the strongest Bi Chen fell first.
Each fought desperately within their own battle zones, none knowing how Bi Chen died, the only thing they knew was that there was no benefit in staying in this perilous place.
All Demon Sovereigns attempted to break through; they were already outmatched by their opponents, and Bi Chen’s death exacerbated their plight significantly, especially for one Demon Sovereign, who continuously fought two Dwarf Race Sun Blaze individuals, though it had been arduous, he managed to sustain, but now, distracted, he suffered a huge blow, roaring in fury, and if he hadn’t unleashed his demonic pill in a desperate stance, he might have followed Bi Chen’s fate; however, deploying the demonic pill leaves no return path, as it’s an outpouring of one’s own power, and won’t last too long before exhaustion sets in, should he fail to escape, he would entirely become prey on the chopping board.
Beside Bi Chen’s corpse, Lu Ye and Chen Xuanhai had vanished without a trace, each heading in a different direction, filled with murderous intent.
Zixuan attacked, and the death of one Bi Chen was only the beginning; this battle aimed to strike Zixuan hard, damaging its forces severely! This was how they would let the world know that Jade Conch wasn’t something anyone could manipulate like a soft persimmon! It would establish sufficient deterrent force!
Chen Xuanhai chose the nearest battle regiment, his presence there would undeniably determine their advantage there as it snowballed larger and larger.
Lu Ye headed straight toward Su Yuqing’s location.
Having acquired accurate intelligence from Qin Yi regarding Zixuan, he instantly recognized Su Yuqing’s opponent as the other Zixuan Great Demon Venerable, seemingly named Moh Xuan.
Lu Ye approached as Moh Xuan struggled to withstand Su Yuqing’s aggressive assault.
Su Yuqing’s combat style wasn’t as overwhelmingly forceful as Chen Xuanhai’s, preferring instead a smooth, water-like flavor; varied Spirit Talismans deployed, never clashing forcefully head-on with Moh Xuan, yet this very style made Moh Xuan unbearably miserable to the verge of vomiting blood.
If Su Yuqing lacked the power to match him, he could easily use force to break this combat style, a direction demon cultivators excel at.
Yet with enhancements from both the Soul Tribe and Merfolk Tribe, Su Yuqing’s current capabilities far surpassed Moh Xuan, instilling in Moh Xuan a feeling of being gradually toyed with.
He repeatedly contemplated deploying his demonic pill for a desperate battle, but couldn’t bring himself to do it.
Until Bi Chen’s aura unexpectedly perished, startling him, realizing that hesitation might cost him even the chance of escape.
In an instant, he unleashed his demonic pill.
Su Yuqing was certainly aware of the dire situation, casting numerous Spirit Talismans to form protection, but under Moh Xuan’s fierce demonic pill assault, these defenses proved hardly effective.
Should her techniques be breached, Moh Xuan could advance with attacks or retreat to evade her entanglement and flee, giving him plenty of options.
This was absolutely something Su Yuqing wouldn’t allow.
Decisiveness flashed across her brow, her lips gently parted.
The Demon Race possessed a demonic pill, yet she too had her own inner core! Though not the same thing, they held similar properties.
Just as she prepared to unleash her inner core, she saw Lu Ye’s figure rushing toward her; simultaneously, Lu Ye’s voice echoed in her ear, "Leave it to me!"
Su Yuqing immediately closed her mouth, feeling tranquil as she casually cast a Spirit Talisman to protect herself.
Lu Ye’s sudden intrusion made Moh Xuan extremely alert, sweeping his Mental Consciousness, relieved to discover the intruder was merely at Sun Blaze Early Stage.
