Chapter 5211 Not One of Them Will Be Left Alive
Long Chen roared. As his dragon blood power erupted, a blood-colored ripple spread out of him, compressing the surrounding s.p.a.ce. The eight whirlpools in front of him shattered, revealing eight elders of the Lifehunter race.
In his fury, Long Chen detonated his dragon blood, forcing these eight figures out into the open. But when he realized that they were nine-vein Heaven Saints, he instantly had a bad feeling. With his power, it was absurd for his enemies to send nine-vein Heaven Saints to confront him; it simply didn’t make sense.
Although these eight elders belonged to the Lifehunter race, which was known for their terrifying killing power, they were no match for Long Chen. They were purely courting death. Once they were exposed, Long Chen immediately stamped on the air, leaving behind countless afterimages as he charged toward Yu Qingxuan.
Yu Qingxuan was focused on the barrier, her hands pressed against it and her body connected to its energy. She was at a critical juncture, and if she dodged the incoming attack, all her previous efforts would be wasted. The barrier’s energy might even spiral into chaos, causing it to shatter and potentially kill countless people inside. Clearly, their enemies had planned this attack meticulously, leaving no time for anyone to react.
Even Long Chen’s sharp senses had failed him. At this moment, Long Chen realized that the Lifehunter race had used a transportation technique for this sneak attack. In other words, the one who had planned this attack was capable of precise spatial transportation techniques. That was the only way to trick Long Chen’s sharp senses.
When Long Chen saw Yu Qingxuan in danger, his head buzzed with fury, his killing intent blazing. Everything was within their enemies’ calculations. At this moment, Long Chen couldn’t even unleash his power effectively. The attackers had appeared on either side of Yu Qingxuan, forming a line from Long Chen’s perspective. If he tried to kill them both, Yu Qingxuan would be caught in the crossfire and crushed.
Their enemies had calculated every step flawlessly, leaving no opening. The battle was playing out exactly as they had intended.
“Golden Lotus Protection!”
Just then, Bai s.h.i.+s.h.i.+’s voice rang out from the outer edge of the barrier. Countless golden runes climbed onto Yu Qingxuan, transforming into petals that enveloped her.
BOOM!
The two swords struck the golden lotus, causing it to explode into golden powder. But within that powder, Yu Qingxuan remained unharmed.
These two attackers were half-step Human Emperors. Seeing their attack fail, their expressions changed. They hadn’t expected the golden lotus to withstand their combined a.s.sault.
“Kill her!” they shouted in desperation as Long Chen closed in on them. Their killing intent surged, causing the ten thousand Daos to wail as they prepared another strike aimed at Yu Qingxuan.
Yu Qingxuan looked down at the countless terrified pairs of eyes below the barrier. She sensed that the barrier was on the verge of healing, but if she stopped now, it might shatter. She saw Long Chen rus.h.i.+ng over, but he was still too far away.
In the end, her hands remained on the barrier. Even knowing that she would die, she chose to save those inside. As long as the barrier held, their lives would be spared.
“I’m sorry...” Yu Qingxuan whispered, tears blurring her vision. She wanted to live but had no other choice. She couldn’t watch so many people die.
Just then, a ray of sword-light pierced through the world, killing one of the elders. Seeing what was happening, Yue Zifeng launched a long-distance attack without regard for his safety. He was then struck by a devil expert’s blood blade and spat out blood, but he managed to use his scabbard to stab through the devil’s head.
