Chapter 399

“Long Chen do you really want to take this risk?” Looking at that mountain of skeletons, Yue Xiaoqian’s scalp felt numb .

“Can you please not try to scare me? I’m scared enough as it is . This is a really painful choice,” said Long Chen bitterly .

“Since you’re afraid too, let’s leave . ” Yue Xiaoqian was happy to leave, as she was actually very afraid now .

No one would want to disturb this many Two-Winged Devilman skeletons . Let alone them, even Xiantain experts would be crushed to a pulp .

“But I really am afraid of losing that saber . That’d aggrieve me so much, I’d wish I were dead,” sighed Long Chen . “Let me just tell you the truth . The real reason I have to risk my life like this is because I have an incurable disease . ”

“An incurable disease? Don’t scare me!”

“I’m not trying to scare you . This disease’s name is called See A Treasure And Can’t Walk Away Disease . Unfortunately, there’s no cure,” sighed Long Chen helplessly .

“That’s called greed . ” Yue Xiaoqian really hadn’t expected Long Chen to be in the mood to joke around at such a tense time .

“Sigh, some things you just can’t understand . Only people with this disease know its pain . ”

Looking at that blood-colored saber that was stabbed into the ground, Long Chen was filled with a burning fervor that made his heart itch .

Although the saber was very far, it emitted a b.l.o.o.d.y qi that seemed as if it could break apart the heavens . Just from that chilling feeling, it had to be a practically divine weapon .

Furthermore, Long Chen was a master at using the saber . To just leave such a precious saber lying there all alone made him feel worse than being killed .

So despite knowing it was very dangerous, Long Chen still wanted to try . However, those many skeletons also gave him chills . And so he begged Yue Xiaoqian not to further attack his already shaken confidence .

Buzz .

“No good, three Two-Winged Devilman were alarmed at the same time . ” Long Chen had advanced very slowly, his goal to just target one of the skeletons . However, the two skeletons beside it also awoke .

“Run!”

Long Chen led Yue Xiaoqian fleeing away . These three newly awakened Two-Winged Devilman skeletons chased after the two of them extremely quickly .

“There’s a way!” Long Chen’s eyes suddenly brightened . These three skeletons were all broken . One of them only had its upper body, so it was much slower .

As for the other two, one had no arms, while one only had one leg . Since they weren’t complete skeletons, Long Chen could come up with a way to handle them .

“Xiaoqian, you go draw away the two without both legs . We’ll handle them one by one,” said Long Chen .

“How am I supposed to draw them away?” Yue Xiaoqian was extremely nervous .

f.u.c.king h.e.l.l . Long Chen almost coughed blood . Just what level of intelligence was this? Long Chen wanted to curse her, but he endured .

“If you run up to those two skeletons, they’ll automatically be drawn towards you . You don’t need to attack them; just run around and wait for me to handle my skeleton . I will come help you after I defeat my target . Understood?” Long Chen explained it extremely simply to her . He really was afraid of this girl s.c.r.e.w.i.n.g up something simple now .

“Okay . ” Yue Xiaoqian seemed to have sensed Long Chen’s dissatisfaction, so her voice contained some grievance . She slowed down, allowing two of the skeletons to approach her . And as Long Chen had said, those two immediately began to rush at her .

Yue Xiaoqian was delighted . “Long Chen, I did it!”

As for Long Chen, he had already led his skeleton further away . He had just been about to attack it when he heard her delighted voice, causing him to almost cough blood again .

If you succeeded, then you succeeded; did you have to shout so suddenly?! Just now, Long Chen had thought she had fallen into danger and been given a fright because of her shout .

This Two-Winged Devilman skeleton didn’t have its arms . A large foot came stomping at Long Chen .

With a snort, Long Chen jumped, avoiding its foot, and slas.h.i.+ng his saber onto its ankle .

Long Chen’s powerful attack had been aimed cleverly . He didn’t hit it head-on, but instead used its own power to force its leg forward .

With Long Chen’s a.s.sistance, the skeleton ended up falling flat on the ground . Without any flesh, there was no way for it to maintain its balance, and its head slammed on the ground . Before it could get up, Devil Decapitator was already slas.h.i.+ng down .

Crack . Long Chen’s attack severed its neck . Long Chen wasn’t as foolish as Yue Xiaoqian . Instead of attacking the neck bone directly, he aimed for the seam between the bones .

The small cracks between bones of these Two-Winged Devilman skeletons all had something that looked like ligaments connecting them . Those ligaments weren’t as hard as the bones, and after countless years of erosion, they had already decayed . Long Chen’s attack only managed to sever its neck because he had accurately aimed it on this ligament material .

His golden page flew out, cutting at its forehead . A devil core fell to the ground .

Because the Two-Winged Devilman’s skeletons were too large and because they would always begin to move while still far away, Long Chen wasn’t able to accurately pinpoint the core .

Furthermore, controlling the golden page required him to use Spiritual Strength . That required him to split his attention . But he also didn’t dare take the Two-Winged Devilman’s attack head-on . So it was better for him to do this safe and steadily .

Gathering the devil core, Long Chen rushed over to where Yue Xiaoqian was . At the very least, she hadn’t been so stupid as to run in a straight line and end up out of his sight . She was still just running around in circles .

His golden page flew through the air, directly slas.h.i.+ng onto the crystal core of the Two-Winged Devilman that had no legs and was crawling on the ground . At the same time, Long Chen jumped through the air, his saber slas.h.i.+ng heavily onto the other Devilman skeleton’s waist .

Long Chen’s aim was very precise, and Devil Decapitator slashed right through the crack between two bones . The Two-Winged Devilman’s skeletons were extremely large, but being large also had its negatives . Those openings between bones were far too obvious and easy to target .

The skeleton was cut in two . Before its upper body could even budge, Long Chen had already run up its body and cut at its neck .

Its large head fell to the ground . But before it even reached the ground, a golden light shot out, and another devil core fell down .

The head rolled directly in front of a stunned Yue Xiaoqian . At the same time, its devil core landed on top her foot .

“Here . ” Long Chen handed two other devil cores to Yue Xiaoqian .

Yue Xiaoqian looked at Long Chen with shook . “How did you do this?”

“How… did I do this?” Long Chen was expressionless . Did he really need to explain something so obvious?

“Ah! I got it! You used your saber to cut at the part where two bones meet . That way they’ll lose their ability to move, right?” Yue Xiaoqian suddenly excitedly grabbed Long Chen .

“Wow, you really are smart! You even managed to notice this!” praised Long Chen, while being speechless inside .

“I’m not smart, you’re smart Long Chen! Why didn’t you tell me about this trick before? Then we wouldn’t need to be so scared!”

This counts as a trick? This is just common sense! Long Chen had been completely defeated by Yue Xiaoqian’s naivety .

“Let’s keep going . ” Now it was Yue Xiaoqian’s turn to take the initiative . She pulled Long Chen rus.h.i.+ng back .

“Hey, slow down! Are you trying to throw your life away?” Yue Xiaoqian was running to the pile of skeletons . In just the blink of an eye, she awoke over ten skeletons at once, making Long Chen’s face turn green with fright . He didn’t even remember to feel her soft hand pulling on him .

Having awakened this many Two-Winged Devilman skeletons, the two of them would have to flee for their lives . Long Chen was so angry, veins were bulging on his forehead .

Suddenly, Yue Xiaoqian stopped and unsheathed her sword . A bolt of lightning seemed to flash through the void .

“Lightning Sword!”

Long Chen was shocked to see that with a wave of Yue Xiaoqian’s sword, thousands of rays of light appeared through the void, flying towards those Devilman skeletons .

BOOM!

Those rays of light all accurately landed on the s.p.a.ces between the bones . Although individually they weren’t very powerful, with that many of them, this attack easily sliced apart those ligaments, turning those ten-plus skeletons into a pile of scattered bones .

“Long Chen, I did it, I did it!” Yue Xiaoqian was incomparably excited that her attack had been effective .

Long Chen was dumbfounded as he lifelessly looked at the skulls on the ground . He was completely speechless .

He had managed to see her attack clearly just now . That sword-light hadn’t been made of Sword Qi, but some kind of energy he had never seen before .

With a single wave of her sword, over ten Two-Winged Devilman skeletons had fallen apart . Just what level of power had her attack reached? Furthermore, thousands of rays of light had all accurately landed on the seams between bones . Just what abnormal level of control did that require? Long Chen had finally experienced just how terrifying Yue Xiaoqian was .

Her attack strength and her intelligence were not even comparable . This was Long Chen’s first time seeing such a monster .

“Long Chen!” Yue Xiaoqian pulled on him . Only now did he recover from his shock . At the same time, he could feel to warm hands pulling on him . “Hurry and take out the devil cores . ”

She had only just said that when she realized she was holding Long Chen’s hand in her excitement . She hastily let go in panic, and although he couldn’t see her face, Long Chen knew she was blus.h.i.+ng . That was because even her ears had turned red .

He involuntarily laughed . Without saying anything, he used his golden page to cut off their devil cores . The two of them continued using this method to defeat their enemies .

During a single run, they handled ten to thirty-plus Devilman skeletons . With just a single attack, Yue Xiaoqian was able to handle them all . Her attacks were incredibly sharp .

After a full day, Long Chen didn’t even remember how many of them they had destroyed . In any case, despite her veil, Yue Xiaoqian’s smile was becoming more and more bewitching, and her eyes had turned into two crescent moons .

He roughly estimated that they had destroyed at least four hundred Two-Winged Devilman skeletons . In other words, over four hundred devil cores had entered Yue Xiaoqian’s pocket .

BOOM!

The final wave of thirty-plus skeletons were slashed apart, and they gathered their devil cores . Now the only thing remaining was that bronze-colored skeleton .

Looking at the blood-colored saber that was stabbed into the ground, a fire burned in Long Chen’s heart . The two of them slowly approached it .

But suddenly, that blood-colored saber quivered, and a biting-cold killing intent instantly enveloped the two of them .
