“What?!” shouted the elder from the Brahma Pill Valley.
Seeing Long Chen rip off Ye Linfeng’s hand, the elder from the Brahma Pill Valley was completely shocked. Of everyone present, only he understood the full extent of Ye Linfeng’s strength. But even at this level, Ye Linfeng couldn’t match Long Chen in raw power and was instantly injured.
Astral energy penetrated Ye Linfeng’s body. Because his god energy couldn’t stop this invasion, he became paralyzed.
“Still can’t see the difference between us? Maybe you need a refund on those eyes,” mocked Long Chen.
Long Chen’s left hand struck like lightning, and two fingers jabbed into Ye Linfeng’s eye sockets. With his right hand shattered and his body overwhelmed by astral energy, Ye Linfeng was defenseless. In one swift move, Long Chen dug out his eyes, drawing a blood-curdling scream from him that echoed across the battlefield.
Countless experts watching were horrified by Long Chen’s ruthlessness. Even the Hidden Dragon warriors, who’d become accustomed to life-and-death battles, couldn’t help but shiver.
BOOM!
Ye Linfeng’s manifestation shuddered, and the eyes within it instantly expelled the astral energy invading his body. Roaring, he swung his arm and blew off his wrist to escape Long Chen’s grip, choosing to sacrifice it rather than remain trapped.
Ye Linfeng was also a vicious character. Despite the pain, he instantly made the right choice, rapidly retreating and forming hand seals with his remaining hand as he regrew his wrist.
Although his hand regrew quickly, his eyes did not. Now, Ye Linfeng was forced to rely on his divine sense and his manifestation to replace his vision.
As he tried to refocus, he was met with gasps of shock from onlookers and the furious roar of the elder. A sense of dread washed over him—he had completely lost his peripheral awareness.
Panic-stricken, Ye Linfeng struck out blindly while retreating, unaware that Long Chen had already closed the distance between them.
When Long Chen blinded Ye Linfeng’s eyes, he knew that Ye Linfeng would use his other senses and manifestation’s eyes instead. Hence, he threw out an astral wall to block Ye Linfeng’s manifestation. Disoriented and desperate after losing his vision, Ye Linfeng flailed in chaos.
Just as expected, Ye Linfeng staggered and swung wildly, like a headless fly. Long Chen easily closed in, infusing his arm with astral energy as he delivered a powerful blow.
POW!
Ye Linfeng’s face cracked, his bones and skin shattering under the impact, and he was sent tumbling back.
“Why must you provoke me?”
Pow!
“Why must you provoke me?”
Pow!
...
Long Chen struck Ye Linfeng freely, each slap landing squarely on his face no matter how he dodged or flailed.
Long Chen moved like a shooting star, each slap exploding through the void. The force behind them was unimaginable.
Seeing that Ye Linfeng could not even retaliate, people were completely stunned—this was Ye Linfeng! If anyone else had been on the receiving end of these blows, they’d have been reduced to dust. Not even their bones would have left.
While Ye Linfeng was still alive, his face was incredibly swollen. His mouth had been obliterated, and his teeth scattered to who knows where.
The relentless slaps left Ye Linfeng dumbfounded. He flailed and struck out randomly, but nothing he did could hinder Long Chen’s barrage.
Despite his immense combat experience and power, he couldn’t do anything against these face-slaps.
At this moment, Ye Linfeng seemed inferior even to an ordinary expert. The latter would think about how to escape once they were caught, while this idiot only tried to dodge and defend.
“Use the Phoenix Blood Emperor Diagram!” the elder from Pill Valley roared.
Hearing this, Ye Linfeng finally reacted, and his Heavenly Fate Disk quivered, revealing an enormous divine diagram.
A formidable Emperor’s pressure radiated from the divine diagram as it appeared. It was a weapon crafted from the hide of an ancient divine beast, etched with intricate runes. The instant it materialized, it dispelled the astral energy Long Chen was using to block the Heavenly Fate Disk.
Ye Linfeng’s vision returned in a flash, as if he had emerged from total darkness into blinding light.
BOOM!
The divine diagram surged toward Long Chen, its twisting runes creating a powerful suction force that pulled him off balance, momentarily interrupting his attack. With that, Ye Linfeng seized his chance and broke free.
Only once Ye Linfeng escaped did the crowds see his face clearly—and gasps echoed through the air. His face was nearly unrecognizable: most of his skin was shredded, and little flesh or blood remained on the exposed bones. Moreover, his toothless mouth was a bloody hole. Without the Heavenly Fate Disk, no one would have even recognized him.
Ye Linfeng had long since lost any sensation from his face. But seeing everyone’s reaction, he knew he looked uglier than a ghost now. Furious, he roared in rage, but as he did, a sinister black saber appeared in Long Chen’s hand, exuding a chilling aura.
“Your mouth is too annoying. I will shut it,” Long Chen declared, summoning Dragonbone Evilmoon in his.
“Waning Moon Heaven Shaking Slash!”
Evilmoon whistled down, its edge like the death god’s sickle. The strike was purely powered by Evilmoon’s power, not by astral energy or bloodline power. During this period, Evilmoon had grown even stronger.
Evilmoon hacked directly at the divine diagram hovering above Ye Linfeng’s head.
A tearing sound echoed as the terrifying divine diagram split like fragile paper, its runes dimming instantly. This ancient weapon, bearing a revered inheritance, was destroyed in a single stroke before it could unleash its full might.
“H-how could this happen?!” Ye Linfeng stammered, dumbfounded.
The divine diagram might only be a Human Emperor divine weapon, but the divine diagram’s layered abilities made it comparable to a Divine Emperor artifact. Yet Long Chen’s single strike had obliterated it.
As Long Chen advanced, holding Evilmoon with an icy gaze, his killing intent was boundless. He moved toward Ye Linfeng like a death god ready to claim another soul, and the very air trembled at his presence.
