Chapter 674: Tremendous Victory

Chapter 674: Tremendous Victory

Over the fog-laden sea, Long Si returned to human form and began to fight against Long San.

"Fourth Brother, you'll pay for betraying Eldest Brother!" Long San yelled.

"You're the one who's going to die," Long Si said.

He punched Long San with Hegemon's Fist, sending him flying. It was as if a tsunami had struck him.

"What? Fourth Brother wouldn't know this fist technique. Did you possess him? Who are you?!" Long San exclaimed.

Long Si launched a flurry of attacks at Long San.

Long San frowned. He spat out a frosty breath that forced Long Si back, then charged forward and whipped his tail at him.

"And so what if you've managed to possess Fourth Brother? He's barely a Golden Immortal, and his physical body is no match for mine. Now, die!" Long San roared.

His tail smashed into Long Si's body, causing him to spit out blood as he was hurled into the sea.

In the flash of an eye, Long San had appeared by his side and thrust his claws into Long Si's body, causing fresh blood to spurt out.

"Die, wretch!" Long San cursed.

Long San tore at Long Si's shoulder in a devastating spurt of blood, then struck at his other shoulder.

Meanwhile, a flash of blue light emerged from Long Si's mindscape.

"What?" Long San frowned, tense. He suddenly sensed something amiss.

The next moment, Long Si's body self-destructed in a flaming explosion.

"What? How could this be?" Long San was badly injured by the explosion.

He never expected Long Si to self-destruct—no, whoever had possessed Long Si in the first place must have given up on his body and caused it to explode.

Being in close proximity to the explosion of a Golden Immortal's body was deadly even to Long San. He was sent flying, grievously injured.

Within the flames, the red rope king suddenly coiled around Long San's neck, causing his eyes to widen.

He scrabbled to remove the red rope taut around his neck, only to have a kasaya suddenly wrap his body up and a blue lotus settle above his head. A bout of death chants was sent straight into the depths of his soul.

"No!" Long San shouted in panic.

He finally understood how Long Si had ended up being possessed. He was under attack from multiple fronts—his Immortal qi being suppressed by the red rope king, and his will and soul being eroded by the blue lotus. He struggled to get free, but his consciousness was already muddled by the time he fought off the kasaya.

Meanwhile, Xiao Nanfeng's avatar darted into his mindscape.

There was fog all around them, and Xiao Nanfeng had layered an additional cloud of red fog in his surroundings to ensure that no one could see what he was doing.

As Xiao Nanfeng and the blue lotus entered Long San's mindscape, he gained absolute control over Long San's body.

Xiao Nanfeng was in charge now.

Long San retrieved the red rope king and kasaya, then scattered the red fog all around with a shake of his body.

"Death is too light a punishment for someone like you," Long San roared.

He looked up at the skies. "Second Brother, I'm coming to assist you!"

Xiao Nanfeng's main body was holding Long Er back.

Long Er blinked in shock, overwhelmed by a sense of vertigo. Was Long San deaf? Why was Long San attacking him?

More blood gushed out from Long Er's injury as he was sent flying once more.

"Third Brother, are you going to betray Eldest Brother too?!" Long Er exclaimed.

Long San didn't respond. He charged straight at Long Er as the two ivory dragons began to fight in earnest, allowing Xiao Nanfeng's main body to roam about. He rushed into the air toward Blue Lantern.

"Well?" Xiao Nanfeng asked.

"Everything's going smoothly, and the Cage of the Sea and Xia Xingchen have managed to suppress Long Yi and his water dragon transformation. However, Long Yi's refusal to cancel the transformation is causing issues. He won't be able to last much longer, but until then..."

"We're short on time, and we can't wait for too much longer. We managed to scare Ao Canghai away, but he'll likely react quickly considering how sly he is. Furthermore, the various Mountain Lords of the Yuqing holy land and Long Yi's own reinforcements might arrive at any time. We need to finish him off as quickly as possible. Let me in. I'll strip the Eye of the Sea from him."

"Very well." Blue Lantern nodded.

Blue Lantern waved a hand, surrounding Xiao Nanfeng in a barrier of blue light. He shot straight toward the blue sphere and passed through its boundary.

Within, a group of cultivators was manipulating the Formation of the Complete Heavens to suppress the giant dragon of water alongside Blue Lantern.

Huge nails were embedded all over the dragon of water's body, the effect of the Cage of the Sea. Xia Xingchen's sword was sticking into the dragon's head, pinning him down.

"Get out here!" Xia Xingchen howled.

The dragon of water had been rendered immobile, but he snarled and refused to obey. "Xia Xingchen, do you really think you've managed to trap me? My reinforcements will be here in no time. I just need to last a little longer before the tables are turned."

Xia Xingchen snarled ferociously, but to no avail.

"Mountain Lord Xia, I'm going to extract Long Yi's body. Please cooperate with me," Xiao Nanfeng said.

The dragon of water scoffed disdainfully. "Extract my body? Dream on. The Eye of the Sea is protecting me. No one will be able to bypass its protection."

Xiao Nanfeng didn't bother arguing with him. Instead, he activated his candleflame powers, causing a flash of red light to appear by Long Yi's head. Xiao Nanfeng reached in and tugged on the head, causing the dragon of water to shudder as an ivory dragon's head was peeled away from it.

"What?!" Xia Xingchen exclaimed in surprise.

Long Yi was caught off guard as well. How could Xiao Nanfeng have removed his body so easily?

"No!" Long Yi cried out.

He tried to shake Xiao Nanfeng's hand away, to shatter the red light that Xiao Nanfeng had somehow evoked.

"Dream on!" Xia Xingchen roared, slashing at the ivory dragon's head and beheading him in an instant.

"This is impossible. No!" the ivory dragon's head exclaimed.

Xia Xingchen didn't dare take Long Yi lightly. He struck at the ivory dragon's head again, causing Long Yi's features to contort. A spectral figure emerged from Long Yi's mindscape—his soul.

Xia Xingchen split Long Yi's head in half, whereas Xiao Nanfeng grabbed ahold of Long Yi's soul.

"You're done for, Long Yi." Xiao Nanfeng smiled.

"No! Release me!" Long Yi's soul cried out in fear.

However, without his physical body, he was no match for Xiao Nanfeng. Xiao Nanfeng clenched tightly around his soul, causing it to shatter.

The dragon of water, now freed from Long Yi's manipulation, coalesced into a giant ball of water—the original shape of the Eye of the Sea. Long Yi's body was suspended within, and Xiao Nanfeng quickly claimed it.

The fighting had finally come to an end.
