Chapter 1369: 1369

The golden phoenix was tightly bound in blood-colored chains . They were the Spirit Blood seals that Qu Dajiang, Jiang Zijun, Dan Yanxue, and Kan Dongze had summoned .

After several days of work, the four of them had finally exhausted the golden phoenix . The most important factor was that Earth Flame Spirit Beasts were too dumb . Despite clearly having weakened, it didn’t flee and continued to fight . As a result, it had allowed itself to be captured .

Their Spiritual Strength was currently erasing the final bit of energy the golden phoenix had .

Eventually, the chains suddenly tightened . The seal was complete .

“Hahaha, success!”

The four of them were all ecstatic to have sealed the golden phoenix without any mishaps .

“Everyone, you’ve worked hard . Let me express my sincere grat.i.tude for your outstanding contribution . Since we’re all friends, I’ll kindly accept it!”

A figure suddenly appeared beside the golden phoenix and put it away . He had a grateful expression and cupped his fists in thanks toward the four of them .

“Long San?!”

Their expressions all changed . They had already told all their subordinates not to come here no matter what happened .

That was because the four of them didn’t want Pill Valley to learn about the matter of the Heaven Incinerating Flame . According to Pill Valley’s rules, any disciple who obtained a top ten Earth Flame would have to offer it to Pill Valley, and Pill Valley would give them a corresponding reward .

Earth Flames below the top ten would belong to the disciples, but the top ten Earth Flames were too powerful . Even Pill Valley cared about them . As for the Heaven Incinerating Flame, it was ranked third . If they gave it to Pill Valley, there was no chance of them getting something as good .

Even if the Pill Valley gave them treasures, there was no way they could match the value of the Heaven Incinerating Flame . So the four of them had intended to keep this matter secret . After all, everyone was selfish .

That was why no one had appeared in this region despite them fighting for so long . The four of them were sure no one would be so brazen as to come here and s.n.a.t.c.h the Earth Flame from them, so they hadn’t made any preparations .

“Courting death!” Seeing Long Chen put the golden phoenix away, the four of them were enraged . Qu Dajiang was the first to attack . Flames erupted from him as he attacked Long Chen . He unleashed a punch that was clearly intent on killing him .

“I’ve been courting death for a long time . But can you actually help me court death?”

Long Chen smiled coldly . He didn’t unleash his aura . He just sent out a single punch .

Flames erupted . Qu Dajiang’s arm broke in several places and he was blown back .

“Do you think you could suppress me like when I was still in the Foundation Forging realm?” Long Chen sneered . His gaze was like two sharp blades sweeping over the four of them . He was no longer his old self and was filled with explosive power . Just now, his punch had been nothing more than a test .

“You . . . you advanced to the Jade Core realm?”

The four of their expressions changed . Dan Yanxue and Kan Dongze’s expressions were especially ugly .

“Do you regret abandoning me so easily? Did you feel like I wouldn’t have much value as a chess piece? Perhaps if you had used me better, I could have even helped you get rid of Jiang Zijun . Is that what you’re thinking?” said Long Chen indifferently as he looked at Dan Yanxue and Kan Dongze . He naturally knew what they were thinking .

“Nonsense! Long San, you’ve already become bedeviled . Our subordinates were simply ordered to capture you, not kill you . Put down your butcher’s blade and come peacefully . That’s your only option to live . As long as you don’t resist, there’ll still be room for negotiating . Although you killed many people, Pill Valley won’t kill someone as talented as you . Don’t misunderstand,” explained Kan Dongze .

“Hahaha…” Long Chen couldn’t help but laugh . Even at this time, he was able to say such lies that not even a child would believe . They were really insulting his intelligence .

Long Chen couldn’t be bothered to expose him . The main thing was that he didn’t want to waste words . There was no need for such a thing now .

“Attack together! Kill him!” Jiang Zijun roared furiously . Heavenly Dao energy circulated, and a flame spear condensed in his hand . He shot at Long Chen .

Although they had all exhausted a great deal of soul energy and spiritual yuan to seal the golden phoenix, the truth was that most of the effort had come from Qu Dajiang .

After the first day, they had found their rhythm and learned to cooperate . Their rate of exhaustion had fallen, while the golden phoenix had weakened . By the end, their spiritual yuan had mostly recovered .

“Watch out!” Seeing Jiang Zijun charge forward on his own, Qu Dajiang let out a startled cry . Of the four of them, he was the strongest . Only he knew just how terrifying the current Long Chen was . He immediately shot after Long Chen as well .

BANG! Jiang Zijun’s spear was blown apart by Long Chen . In front of Long Chen, that flame spear was as weak as a child’s plaything .

Jiang Zijun had never imagined that Long Chen would have grown to such a terrifying level . With his flame spear broken, he was open to attack . Long Chen’s hand was already raised in the air .

Pow!

Long Chen’s hand viciously slapped across Jiang Zijun’s face . A thick, automatic flame barrier appeared over Jiang Zijun’s face to block it, but it was blown apart by Long Chen’s slap .

Half of Jiang Zijun’s face caved in, and he shot back like a shooting star, cras.h.i.+ng into the lava . A huge pillar of lava soared into the sky and then descended as a rain of lava .

Qu Dajiang’s fist arrived in front of Long Chen right after he had slapped Jiang Zijun . His nine flowers revolved behind him . This time, he was using his real power .

BOOM!

Long Chen met Qu Dajiang’s punch with his own, and flame runes flew in every direction . It was like a firework had gone off .

Long Chen and Qu Dajiang’s fists were still locked as they floated in the air, their eyes cold as their auras continuously rose .

A small vortex appeared where their fists were colliding . It gradually grew larger and larger .

Jiang Zijun came out of the lava, his face pale and horrified . Just now, Long Chen’s slap had almost killed him .

He knew that if it hadn’t been for his flame armor and Qu Dajiang’s reinforcement, he would have died . If Long San hadn’t needed to reserve a bit of energy to handle Qu Dajiang, that slap would have destroyed his head .

Now seeing Long San fighting equally against Qu Dajiang, he was even more horrified .

Dan Yanxue and Kan Dongze were also stupefied . They had never imagined that Long San was so powerful . After just advancing to the Jade Core realm, he possessed the power to fight against Qu Dajiang . It had to be known that Qu Dajiang was an extremely terrifying flame cultivator .

BOOM!

Qu Dajiang’s fist began to emit a blazing light as his power became violent . All his muscles bulged and his robes exploded, revealing his copper skin .

Qu Dajiang was originally a large man . With his muscles bulging like this, he looked like a monster .

“In terms of power, no one is a match for me in the same realm! You might be strong, but there’s an uncrossable gap between us!” said Qu Dajiang coldly . With the increase in size, his voice also became heavier .

At first, Jiang Zijun had been horrified to see Long San being a match for Qu Dajiang . But now seeing Qu Dajiang reveal such immense power, he instead became excited and cheered him on . “Brother Qu, don’t kill him too fast! Don’t forget, he killed your brother . We have to make him live a life worse than death!”

Dan Yanxue and Kan Dongze’s expressions changed slightly, and they exchanged a glance . They nodded .

They definitely wouldn’t allow Long San to live . Only once he was dead could they push the blame to Jiang Zijun . Otherwise, if the truth was learned, the ones to die would be them .

They had made their plans . Once Long San was subdued, they would immediately kill him to cover up the truth .

“Sorry, I can’t accept your words . In terms of power, within the same realm, the only one who might be able to surpa.s.s me is one of my brothers . Other than him, I haven’t met anyone who could match me . Your confidence is based on nothing,” sneered Long Chen .

Suddenly, an explosive sound came from Long Chen’s body as his 108,000 stars began to revolve, forming an unending cycle of energy that poured through his body . His aura erupted .

BOOM!

Azure ripples appeared in the s.p.a.ce around Long Chen’s fist . That was the result of s.p.a.ce being compressed by the immense power .

“This… this is impossible!”

BOOM!

Long Chen’s energy suddenly erupted like a volcano . Qu Dajiang was suddenly blown back by an immense power . He almost coughed up blood .

Long Chen continued to stand in the air . Ripples continued to spread from his body . They began to spread further and further, shaking the sky and lava .

“It really is nice to be full of power . ” Long Chen clenched his fists . Feeling this inexhaustible energy surging within him, his eyes blazed .

“Sorry, I’ll be using you all as whetstones today . ” Long Chen shot toward the four of them .
