Chapter 428 - Break Your Arm

Chapter 428 - Break Your Arm

Long Chen utilized the enhanced speed granted by his transformation and the Demon Seed Planting Technique to quickly approach the Sword Emperor.

He knew that even though he had as much Qi as a Heavenly Passage Realm cultivator, there was still a large gap between them, so Long Chen dared not be careless.

Long Chen and Xiaolang had discussed prior to this that Long Chen would be fighting while Xiaolang supported him since the latter was slightly weaker. Xiaolang’s strongest attack was the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire, so he would only use it when the Sword Emperor’s guard was down.

Long Chen pulled out the Demon Emperor Sword at this point.

“The Demon Emperor Sword? I haven’t seen it in years. Zhao Qingyun used it once to fight me when we were younger, but he wasn’t my match. He doesn’t stand a chance even now!” The Sword Emperor wasn’t anxious even though Long Chen had brought out the Heaven-tier Divine Arm.

The Sword Emperor was the monolith of the Cangyang Kingdom. Since he was the strongest, he had very few enemies. That was why he had given Lin Zichen the Imperial Sword, thinking that no one would be capable of stealing it. But now Long Chen was keeping the Imperial Sword in his Universe Pouch, so the Sword Emperor had no way of retrieving it.

But the Sword Emperor was not helpless without the sword. When Long Chen was swiftly approaching him, the Sword Emperor pointed at Long Chen with his right index finger, and a golden light appeared on his fingertip. Under the control of the Sword Emperor, nine lights shot out of his finger towards Long Chen!

“Nine Heaven Battle Swords, Heaven and Earth Evisceration!”

This was the other Heaven-tier martial technique other than the Imperial Sword Technique. Its power was not to be trifled with, and Long Chen had to use the Supreme Emperor Sword to destroy it.

But what made Long Chen surprised was that the Sword Emperor’s technique was ten times stronger even though he was only using his Qi and fingers. He had to use Traceless Demon Shadow to avoid the attacks. Long Chen took advantage of the gaps in the attack timings to circulate his Qi and launch a jet-black Sword Qi at the Sword Emperor.

“Demon Emperor Sword Technique, Supreme Emperor Sword!”

The air was torn apart, and black dirt sprayed everywhere. Long Chen used the Supreme Emperor Sword to destroy the Sword Emperor’s Nine Heaven Battle Swords. At the same time, Long Chen launched numerous rays of Demon Emperor Sword Qi to push the Sword Emperor back.

He had not lost in the first round. It was considered an incredible feat, considering his age, even though he had the Demon Emperor Sword to help him.

Some of the more experienced cultivators knew that if Long Chen could defend against the Sword Emperor’s first Heaven-tier martial technique, he could possibly block the rest too. They had thought Long Chen was weaker, but they now realized that he was almost as strong as the Sword Emperor.

Xiaolang was one of his backup plans.

The Sword Emperor had been blown back by the explosion as well. He was still thinking about what the Blood Devouring Domain was when he felt a deadly presence behind him.

Xiaolang saw his nemesis flying towards him, and he could no longer wait. His eyes were bloodshot as he pounced towards the Sword Emperor. Xiaolang used all of the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire he could muster and spat it out like a tidal wave towards the Sword Emperor.

It was clear that Xiaolang hated the Sword Emperor a lot.

Long Chen could barely imagine how much pain Xiaolang had endured when his family was wiped out at the age of six, resulting in him living on his own. But Xiaolang had managed to live on and kept a positive outlook on life!

Xiaolang was his sworn brother!

Long Chen had sworn to himself that Xiaolang’s problems would be his as well. Naturally, the same could be said for Xiaolang. Even though he couldn’t speak now, Xiaolang's heart had not changed.

When the Nine Devil Ancestral Fire blanketed the air, the Sword Emperor felt like his life was in danger. He didn’t even look back, because his battle sense told him that if he didn’t run towards Long Chen, he would die!

“Divine Nine Palace Step!” The Sword Emperor was sweating when he used his strongest Body Combat Technique to run towards Long Chen at top speed. He would’ve been faster than Long Chen if he wasn’t under the influence of the Blood Devouring Domain.

Everyone on the city wall were shouting and clamoring when they saw the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire. They didn’t know what it was, but they knew it was very deadly if even the Sword Devil avoided it.

“What kind of fire emits cold energy?!” The Sword Emperor hissed and ran as fast as he could, but part of his body ended up coming into contact with the flames, including one of his arms!

The Sword Emperor circulated his Qi towards his arm, but then he felt that he was losing all sensation in it!

Bam!

Everyone was in disbelief when the Sword Emperor’s left arm exploded and disappeared in the air. Even though he had avoided the bulk of the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire, he had paid a terrible price. He had lost his left arm. It was possible to heal it with spiritual herbs, but it would not be as nimble as before.

His battle strength had diminished as a result!
