within that barrier, two huge blood-red saber-images clashed with apocalyptic power. the barrier was instantly filled with red light, and it became impossible to see anything within.
boom!
only after a moment did the explosion ring out. that barrier inflated like a balloon, growing to several times its original size in an instant.
the disciples jumped in fright and hastily fled. if the barrier exploded, they wouldn’t even have a corpse left.
fortunately, after expanding violently, the barrier didn’t explode. it slowly returned to its original size.
two figures panted for breath within the barrier. long chen’s saber was propped against the ground, his face pale. the third form of split the heavens was incomparably sharp, but its exhaustion was also terrifying. long chen’s spiritual yuan had basically reached rock bottom, which startled him. que xinyan had such plentiful spiritual yuan that even four qi seas weren’t enough to outspend him.
but then thinking about it, he supposed that made sense. que xinyan was a celestial, and after merging with heaven and earth, he was able to constantly draw out the energy of the world to fight.
que xinyan was crazily panting. the rune covering his body had dimmed, and his aura had dropped precipitously.
long chen took a deep breath and raised his saber. after stabilizing his aura slightly, he began to walk toward que xinyan.
“even now, he still wants to fight?!” cried the disciples.
que xinyan also took a deep breath and straightened his waist. he took control of the last dregs of his spiritual yuan as the critical moment arrived.
“kill!”
long chen and que xinyan roared at the same time. long chen’s saber collided heavily with que xinyan’s flame blade. both sides were sent flying by each other’s power, and their auras dropped once more.
“heavenly net meteor fall!”
que xinyan formed hand seals, and the flames around him disappeared, replaced by a huge flame sphere that shot toward long chen.
the flame sphere was originally just a couple dozen meters wide, but halfway, it suddenly grew by ten times, releasing a raging rumbling sound as it flew through the air.
long chen knew this was que xinyan’s combination attack with his earth flame beast. without even thinking about, he activated the two dragon tattoos on his arms.
“double dragon destruction!”
lei long and huo long flew out, crashing together with the flame sphere. flames and lightning raged in the air. long chen and que xinyan were both sent flying once more, vomiting blood and their bodies almost collapsing.
after that collision, people were startled to see that whether it was que xinyan’s earth flame beast or long chen’s lightning and flame dragons, they had all shrunk a great deal.
the two dragons were only three hundred meters long now, while que xinyan’s flame leopard was only the size of an ordinary magical beast. both sides had used up too much of their power, and in order to avoid their bodies dissipating, they had no choice but to condense their remaining energy into smaller forms.
“long chen, i don’t believe you dare to kill me! if you dare-”
que xinyan’s words were cut off by long chen’s advancing saber. it was aimed at que xinyan’s neck, but in his exhausted state, long chen ended up deviating from his planned path, while que xinyan also instinctively dodged. as a result, his saber struck que xinyan’s chest.
if it was a normal time, long chen’s saber could blow que xinyan to pieces. but now, his attack had no power behind it, only leaving behind a deep cut.
long chen’s body wobbled slightly as he felt a wave of exhaustion washing over him. he took a deep breath and adjusted himself. once more resting blooddrinker on his shoulder, he pressed onward toward que xinyan.
but the people watching could all see that long chen had already reached his limit a while ago. at this time, his saber was constantly quivering in his grasp.
however, long chen’s expression was still calm. no one further questioned long chen’s resolve to kill que xinyan.
“long chen, you won’t have a good ending if you kill me! you’ll be expelled!” que xinyan was finally afraid.
now he understood that long chen’s words at the beginning had been an oath to himself. long chen’s goal wasn’t to humiliate him or force him to surrender. it was purely to kill him.
“i know.”
long chen’s indifferent voice was so calm that it was frightening.
“then why do you still want to kill me?!” roared que xinyan.
“to give an explanation to those who died,” said long chen.
“they weren’t your relatives or your friends! why do you have to do this?!” roared que xinyan.
“because they once trusted me with their lives,” said long chen.
the disciples beside the dragonblood warriors were unable to make a sound anymore. they had never imagined that they would meet someone who would give up his core disciple spot and even give up his life to get revenge for some fallen brothers just because of this one moment of trust. they felt like even if they had to die immediately, their lives had been worthwhile now.
at this moment, they understood the true reason why the dragonblood warriors called him boss. it was because long chen truly viewed every one of the people who followed him as a brother.
for hot-blooded men, crying was a weak display, and yet these displays couldn’t help themselves. and no one laughed at them for it.
“bastard, you’re going to throw away your future just because of this?! if you wanted to humiliate me, if you wanted to establish your name, you’ve already done it! just what do you want?!” shouted que xinyan.
“to kill you,” said long chen. as he got closer, he slowly raised blooddrinker.
“no... you can’t kill me!” que xinyan roared unwillingly.
“this is the price of trampling over other people’s dreams and lives. actions have consequences!”
long chen shook his head, and blooddrinker flashed with a cold light. it thrust straight toward que xinyan’s head.
the word for boss means “biggest brother”.
