"This is bad!" Tang Le’s expression turned grave as he spoke to Long Chen and the others. "Let’s retreat quickly. If this continues, death will be our only way out!"
"You go first. I’ll cover the rear." Chu Lingjun did not hesitate. As a Martial Ancestor and the number one powerhouse on the Martial Roll, she knew it was her duty to step forward.
"Go now!" Tuoba Beast’s eyes were filled with determination as he urged Tang Le and the others.
"Leave?" Yan Chen chuckled. "Without my permission, none of you can escape!"
As soon as his words fell, he rushed toward Chu Lingjun and the others. Chu Lingjun and Tuoba Beast could only clench their teeth and press on, using every trick in their arsenal.
BANG! BANG!
But in their current state, they were no match for Yan Chen. He sent them flying with two casual palm strikes. Their faces turned deathly pale as the qi and blood roiled within them. They had suffered severe internal injuries.
Then, Yan Chen waved a hand, and a Barrier condensed into existence, trapping everyone inside to prevent any escape.
He reached out, and a powerful binding force descended upon Chu Lingjun. No matter how she struggled, it was useless.
"Sister Chu!"
At the sight, Tuoba Jiao and the others felt their hearts clench and started to move forward to help.
"Back off!" Long Chen waved his hand, and a surge of power stopped their advance. His gaze then locked onto Yan Chen. "Let her go!"
As he moved, the Blackwind Sword appeared in his hand, stabbing straight toward Yan Chen’s chest.
"Child’s play!" Yan Chen merely glanced at Long Chen dismissively, not taking him seriously at all. With a casual slap, he knocked the Blackwind Sword out of Long Chen’s hand.
Long Chen then unleashed a palm strike he had been building up. While it appeared to be aimed at Yan Chen, its true purpose was to shatter the hold on Chu Lingjun.
BANG!
True Dragon Combat Technique!
Long Chen withstood a blow from Yan Chen and fiercely struck his palms. Just like that, Yan Chen’s hold on Chu Lingjun was completely broken.
Seeing that Chu Lingjun was about to crash to the ground, Long Chen quickly stepped back and caught her in his arms. He adjusted his footing to land steadily, then looked at her with concern. "Sister Chu, how are you?"
Staring at Long Chen, Chu Lingjun was dazed for a moment before quickly coming to her senses. She shook her head. "I’m fine. What about you?"
"Don’t worry, I’m fine too." Only then did Long Chen withdraw his hand from her waist, his gaze returning to Yan Chen. "You all find a way to leave! I’ll hold him back!"
Hearing this, Chu Lingjun was about to grab Long Chen, but he had already lunged toward Yan Chen.
"Come back!"
In their current situation, with everyone’s Battle qi depleted and their bodies weakened, their only chance of leaving this place alive was to find a way to completely eliminate Yan Chen.
Facing such a formidable enemy, Long Chen directly activated the Divine Demon Ancestral Dragon Formula. He used the Secret Technique of Gods and Demons—Dragon Blood Boiling!
Instantly, the aura around Long Chen began to climb rapidly, and his eyes gradually turned blood-red. Under this dual enhancement, his combat power surged directly from the War Maniac Realm Seventh Layer to the War King Realm Second Layer.
Feeling the change in Long Chen’s aura, a flicker of surprise crossed Yan Chen’s sinister face. "Demonic Qi? You actually have Demonic Qi?"
This is getting more and more interesting. To think you could raise your realm by such a large margin.
He stared at Long Chen as if appraising a priceless treasure, his eyes gleaming. "Such abundant and pure Demonic Qi! I must have it!"
