Chapter 5415 One Shot Kill
“Take him away!” Yun Feng shouted, stepping forward to block the young king of the Blood Blade Three Eye Devil race. Their luck was garbage today.
This devil king possessed the purest bloodline of their race, making its innate blood blade unstoppable. From a single blow, Yun Feng’s insides were already battered. While he forced himself to suppress his injuries with a secret art, he knew he couldn’t do it for long.
He knew this was his end, but he was determined to buy Long Chen and the others a few precious seconds, no matter the cost.
“Brother Feng!” His comrades cried out in horror. They had known Yun Feng for years and understood the gravity of his words. Although they had braced themselves for this battle, watching Yun Feng sacrifice himself was something they couldn’t accept. For the first time in their lives, they hesitated to follow his orders.
BOOM!
The devil king’s bone saber came cras.h.i.+ng down, shattering Yun Feng’s sword and sending him flying, blood spraying from his lips.
“Brother Feng...!” One of his comrades caught him, and Yun Feng, seeing they hadn’t fled, was both panicked and furious. He spat out another mouthful of blood.
The devil king’s eyes gleamed with a wicked intelligence as it prepared another strike. It mocked, “The human race is about to be destroyed. Is this little fellow a gamebreaker you called over from that strange s.p.a.ce? Hahaha, how laughable. You can die together!”
“Everyone, block it together!” someone shouted, and they all readied themselves to face the devastating attack.
Yun Feng closed his eyes in pain. Even if they managed to block this blow, they would be too injured to survive a second blow. In the end, it would make no difference—they would all die here.
Just then, Xinrui raised her sword to join the others, but a hand suddenly grasped it.
“You...?” Xinrui turned in shock to see Long Chen holding her weapon. However, there was no time to question his actions.
The instant Long Chen saw the devil king’s overwhelming strength, he knew their odds. Without hesitation, he sprang into action. With a single step, Long Chen appeared to the left of the Blood Blade Three Eye Devil race’s king just as it swung its blade. Long Chen’s sudden appearance was so bizarre that the devil king was caught off guard.
Long Chen’s sword struck the devil king right at the black bulge on its forehead—a strange, vulnerable-looking spot that wasn’t one of its three eyes. Though he’d never encountered this creature before, his years of brutal combat had honed his instincts to sense a weak point.
The precision of Long Chen’s attack was flawless. Speed, angle, and timing aligned in one perfect strike, and as his sword pierced forward, starlight erupted along its edge.
Xinrui and the others were shocked. When she had first rescued Long Chen, he’d been disoriented, unfamiliar with his surroundings, and disconnected from the Earth Cauldron, Dragonbone Evilmoon, the primal chaos s.p.a.ce, and Lei Linger and Huo Linger. The unfamiliar Heavenly Dao laws of this realm had also hindered him, making even the Silver Wing Heaven Devils a threat to his life.
However, now he had grown accustomed to the laws of this place. With three bloodlines circulating in harmony and his astral energy back to full power, his confidence surged. Until now, due to not being familiar with the situation here, he simply listened to everyone else’s arrangements. But seeing them in danger, he didn’t hesitate to take action.
In a single motion, Long Chen delivered a killing blow. The Blood Blade Three Eye Devil king clearly hadn’t expected such a devastating attack from an Earth Saint whose aura carried only faint traces of primal chaos. Alarmed, it abruptly abandoned its own attack, pulling its bone blade back and summoning layered defensive runes over its forehead.
Long Chen’s heart pounded—this creature was a nightmare from the primal chaos era. Even in the midst of an attack, it could instantly summon such powerful defenses. Without Evilmoon, he wasn’t certain he could break through them.
However, just as his sword was about to strike, it twisted in the air. Instead of striking its head, it swung at an unthinkable angle, striking the devil king’s wrist. Astral energy surged from his blade, severing the wrist cleanly and sending the bone saber flying.
The devil king let out a roar that shook the air, only to be abruptly silenced.
Without missing a beat, Long Chen tossed Xinrui’s sword back to her, gripping the ma.s.sive white bone blade the devil had wielded. As the starry sea in his Dantian swirled, it released astral energy like an erupting volcano into the bone blade.
Using Xinrui’s divine weapon, Long Chen had held back, careful not to damage it with excessive power. But this devil’s bone blade held no such limitations; he poured his full energy into it. Even if the weapon broke, it was of no consequence to him.
He swung the bone blade at the devil king’s head in one fluid motion. In a split second, he’d transitioned from borrowing Xinrui’s sword, to a deadly surprise attack, to severing the devil king’s wrist and claiming its weapon as his own. It was all so fast and precise that his movements blurred together.
The bone saber cleaved through its owner’s skull, splitting its head with ease. Its runic defenses proved useless against its own weapon, which cut through as if slicing a watermelon.
Yet, even after being halved, the devil king’s lifeforce still lingered. So, Long Chen drove his palm into its chest, channeling all his might.
“One star, Star Fall!”
BOOM!
With a thunderous explosion, the devil king’s body shattered, its life force vanis.h.i.+ng in an instant.
“The nine star line!” Yun Feng and the others murmured in shock, their eyes wide as they saw the full extent of Long Chen’s power.
