Chapter 5387 Declaration of War
The giant hatchet came cras.h.i.+ng down, its head as large as a table and charged with enough force to cleave mountains. This was a powerful Human Emperor divine weapon.
BOOM!
The hatchet tore through the air, yet it couldn’t penetrate the layer of stars covering Long Chen’s hand. His hand was as steady as an immovable boulder.
“Impossible!” the man shouted, unable to believe that Long Chen could block his full-power attack barehanded.
Crack.
A cracking sound echoed as tiny fractures spread through the hatchet. In the end, the Human Emperor divine weapon couldn’t withstand Long Chen’s iron grip. But just as Long Chen wanted to crush it, multiple powerful auras surged from the distance.
Long Chen’s heart shook. These were the auras of half-step Divine Emperors, not Heaven Saints.
BOOM!
Abandoning the thought of shattering the hatchet, Long Chen kicked his opponent away in a lightning-fast motion. As the man flew away, powerful auras continued to fill the area, drawing an even larger crowd. Without hesitation, Long Chen tossed the hatchet into his primal chaos s.p.a.ce.
Meanwhile, Tang Wan-er led the Hidden Dragon Legion in a ruthless charge. Blood and flesh exploded on all sides as the earth turned crimson. Each Hidden Dragon warrior fought with ferocity, striking only to kill.
Because the Wind G.o.d Sea Pavilion was well-known for being weak, their enemies had a.s.sumed the Hidden Dragon warriors were nothing more than a pack of house cats. But they were in for a brutal shock as the supposed cats savaged them like tigers.
From the very first clash, the Hidden Dragon Legion tore through their enemies fiercely. The brutal onslaught left the enemies stunned, and as they watched their comrades fall, panic spread through their ranks. Unable to maintain formation, they turned and fled.
Seeing their enemies’ backs exposed toward them, the Hidden Dragon Legion showed no mercy. Their Sword Qi swept through the fleeing crowd, leaving nothing but devastation and death in its wake.
“Stop!” a furious roar echoed as countless figures closed in, surrounding the battlefield.
Long Chen glanced around, noting over thirty half-step Divine Emperors among the newcomers. Each of them represented a major faction, and they had brought tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of warriors to surround Long Chen and the others.
The attackers around Ye Lingkong withdrew, and the Hidden Dragon warriors paused. Though the battle had lasted only a few blinks of an eye, tens of thousands of corpses already lay on the ground.
In the initial confrontation, one of the faction’s top disciples was cleaved in two by Tang Wan-er. He didn’t even have a chance to reveal his true power before falling.
At this moment, an enormous figure collapsed to the ground—the Divine March Gate’s protector divine beast, the Fullmoon Gold Horn Rhinoceros. It had lost its precious pizzle and b.a.l.l.s, and after igniting what little essence blood it had left, it could no longer endure and pa.s.sed out.
“Wind G.o.d Sea Pavilion, what are you trying to do?! Do you think you can challenge all of us on your own?!” shouted an elder.
Long Chen eyed the elder and recognized his faction immediately. It truly was a case of old enemies always crossing paths. The elder wore robes bearing the insignia of Pill Valley.
Although the robes differed from those worn in the outside world, they had a pill cauldron design with a prominent Brahma character, instantly signaling their allegiance.
Behind this elder stood over a million disciples, though only a small portion of them wore robes of the Brahma Pill Valley. The rest were a motley mix of many factions—the Brahma Pill Valley’s dogs. It was only thanks to currying favor with the Brahma Pill Valley that they could enter the Wind Domain Battlefield.
Long Chen’s attention was drawn to a red-haired man who was also looking his way. The moment their eyes met, both felt a jolt.
This fellow is strong, thought Long Chen, surprised. Though the red-haired man was only a Heaven Saint, he gave Long Chen a distinctly dangerous feeling.
The man’s scarlet eyes and condensed aura made it hard to sense his power, yet Long Chen could feel the vast faith energy emanating from him. Although Long Chen had killed one of Brahma’s eight sons, Lu Fan, this man’s faith energy felt different, though Long Chen couldn’t pinpoint how. Still, the pressure he exuded was immense, marking him as a formidable opponent.
The red-haired man seemed equally stunned by Long Chen’s aura, sensing the power in him.
Long Chen noticed several other powerful auras as well, especially a muscular man with a white bone spear strapped to his back. The intensity of his presence was nearly on par with the red-haired man.
“The resonant dragon race?” Long Chen narrowed his eyes, his gaze darkening with killing intent.
Seeing dragon race members allied with Brahma Pill Valley filled him with anger. First, there was the Netherdragon race, now the resonant dragon race. Just when did the n.o.ble dragon race become so cowardly? To actually submit to the Brahma Pill Valley, they were a disgrace to the dragon race.
The muscular man glanced back at Long Chen with astonishment, sensing a pure, sacred dragon blood flowing in him. He could hardly believe its purity.
“The sovereign dragon race’s bloodline? How could a human possess the blood of the sovereign dragons? Tell me, where did you get your dragon blood?!” he bellowed.
At once, the elder from Brahma Pill Valley glared at him, and the muscular man realized he had spoken out of turn.
“Ye Lingkong, are you mute? Are you trying to challenge all of us?!” shouted the elder, turning his frustration onto Ye Lingkong.
Ye Lingkong, feeling baffled, gripped his sword tightly. Just because he was a nice person didn’t mean that he wouldn’t get angry.
Seeing that, as someone who never s.h.i.+ed away from trouble, Long Chen directly jumped onto the Qilin Horn Heaven Swallowing Sparrow’s head and declared, “That’s right, this is a declaration of war to all of you! The Wind G.o.d Sea Pavilion hereby declares war! Today, we will settle all old and new scores. Rivers of blood will flow, and we won’t stop until death!”
His words instantly changed countless expressions.
