Chapter 273 - Fight Against Emperor Yuan
This was the first time Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang had to team up. Emperor Yuan was a fearsome opponent that required both of them to fight together!
Emperor Yuan’s gaze was cold and he said nothing. He launched himself with his powerful legs, becoming a mountain that moved with unbelievable speed.
Long Chen was at a loss for what to do when he felt the incredible pressure.
He knew that he could not fight Emperor Yuan directly; only Mo Xiaolang could do so. Long Chen’s role was to harass Emperor Yuan from the side.
Long Chen immediately dodged sideways while Mo Xiaolang crashed into Emperor Yuan head-on. A demonic beast’s body was very strong even when compared with cultivators with Body Tempering Techniques, especially a demonic beast with a legendary bloodline like the Sun Devouring Wolf.
As for Emperor Yuan, he could only use half the power of a demonic beast. He was inferior to Mo Xiaolang in terms of physical strength and size. Thanks to that, he was blown back by Mo Xiaolang in the first clash.
“Blood Devouring Domain!” Long Chen used his strongest technique instantly. Thankfully, it was not a technique that attacked indiscriminately; he could target specific people with it. Even though Mo Xiaolang was inside the range of the Blood Devouring Domain, it did not affect him at all. But it was different for Emperor Yuan. Facing the strong suction power, he felt his blood running wild in his body.
Is this the technique that killed the Eastern Azure Dragon Patriarch?! Emperor Yuan was shocked. Still, Long Chen’s Qi was inferior to Emperor Yuan’s, so the Blood Devouring Domain wasn’t that effective.
Still, it was not a pleasant feeling to have countless blades cutting up his body during battle.
Mo Xiaolang used the chance to pounce at Emperor Yuan. At the same time, black flames sprouted from Mo Xiaolang’s mouth. The black flames took on the shape of a wolf that ran towards Emperor Yuan! The temperature around the flames plummeted drastically.
“What is that?” Emperor Yuan was shocked. The fire gave him a bone-chilling sensation. Under the effect of Long Chen’s Blood Devouring Domain, he felt like his Body Combat Technique was somewhat affected, so he had no choice but to use a martial technique!
“Clear Water Shield!”
A shield made of water appeared in front of Emperor Yuan. The shield flowed in a rhythm as faint runes flickered on its surface.
When the technique was complete, Emperor Yuan threw the shield forward while stepping back. The shield exploded the moment it came into contact with the Nine Devil Ancestral Fire. Some of the fire fell to the ground.
The sound of explosions could be heard as black ice appeared on the ground. When Emperor Yuan landed on the ice, he was shocked to see the ice disintegrate into dust. The mud and debris on the ground was gone!
What kind of fire is that?! Emperor Yuan was shocked and felt relieved that he had made the right decision. If he had taken that attack head-on, he would be nothing but dust!
He could not stop the attack!
“Xiaolang, save me!”
The Nine Fire Spinning Shields was destroyed by Emperor Yuan. He only had to use two Peak Essence Shredding Punches to break the shield and expose Long Chen!
“You will die this time!” Emperor Yuan laughed as he launched a palm attack at Long Chen. He was more than strong enough to tear Long Chen apart with physical strength alone!
“Heaven Shaking Palm!”
Emperor Yuan’s claw became a palm that came from above! Long Chen felt like the sky was crashing down on him, causing him to kneel. Emperor Yuan’s technique was undoubtedly an intermediate Earth-tier martial technique!
It was his strongest attack!
Shit! Long Chen saw his life flashing! But experience told him that he had to remain calm no matter how dangerous the situation was. Mo Xiaolang was already at Emperor Yuan’s back, but he dared not use the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire, because Long Chen was just in front of Emperor Yuan.
“Azure Dragon Technique, Nine Heavens Dragon Ascension!”
Long Chen used his strongest technique, the one that had killed the Eastern Azure Dragon family patriarch! Even though his Qi was lacking, it was almost as strong as Emperor Yuan’s attack!
When the two opposing forces collided, a massive shockwave burst forth.
Emperor Yuan laughed maniacally. Long Chen felt like he was hitting a large mountain, the impact causing his palms to bleed. The Azure Dragon Halberd was knocked away by intense force, and Long Chen’s legs sunk into the ground from the impact.
This was the most serious injury he had taken thus far. But to his dismay, Emperor Yuan’s attack did not stop even though Mo Xiaolang was about to hit him in the back. Emperor Yuan gritted his teeth and smacked Long Chen away with one last attack.
Emperor Yuan was knocked away by Mo Xiaolang at the same time. He spat out blood, his face pale. There were numerous gashes on his back, each one deep enough to reveal bone and bleeding profusely.
If Long Chen were to use the Blood Devouring Domain now, he would be able to absorb all of the blood, but he was severely injured!
Seeing Long Chen getting injured and being launched into the air, Mo Xiaolang howled angrily. He did not attack Emperor Yuan a second time, because he was more worried about Long Chen. He managed to catch Long Chen on his back before landing gracefully.
Long Chen was in a much more precarious state than he had thought. He finally understood what Emperor Yuan meant about not underestimating an old man’s methods.
To think that Emperor Yuan would take the attack from Mo Xiaolang in order to cripple Long Chen!
