Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 259

Devil Decapitator pointed to the sky, then chopped down like a bolt of lightning .

There was no way for the Favored to dodge, so he frantically took out an odd shield .

That wasn't a true shield, but a snow-white tortoise shell . Lines covered it, and it's aura was extremely powerful . It was surprisingly the shell of a peak third rank Magical Beast .

The strongest part of a tortoise type Magical Beasts was naturally their shells . Within the same realm, there were no Magical Beasts that could break through that defense .

BANG! Devil Decapitator slammed onto the tortoise shell, and immediately burst it apart in front of everyone's shocked eyes .

One reason was because Long Chen's own strength was so great . With the assistance of his divine ring, his strength was practically enough to cleave mountains apart .

The other reason was that this tortoise shell was too old and had already lost its original hardness . That was why it shattered in one blow .

That Favored's arms were also broken as the tortoise shell shattered, and he vomited out blood that also contained some pieces of his inner organs .

Long Chen's attack had managed to destroy his tortoise shell as well as break apart many of his internal organs . And that was because he was a Favored; if it had been another expert, they would definitely have died .

"Ah, no wonder you like wearing a green hat . It's a set with your tortoise shell . [1]" Long Chen stepped forward, attacking that Favored again . That Favored was already heavily injured; now was the perfect time to kill him .

"DIE!"

Long Chen suddenly felt a chill . An icy shout rang out and a red light locked him completely in place . Long Chen felt as if he had been frozen in a glacier, unable to move in the slightest .

But the red light had only partly reached him before a ray of Sword Qi shot across the sky, cutting it apart .

"Old demon Gui Yan, you want to interfere?" Tu Fang raised his sword to point at Gui Yan . It was his sword that had destroyed Gui Yan's sneak attack .

Gui Yan was completely furious . His Corrupt disciples were falling rapidly, while the Righteous disciples had always maintained the superior position . In fact, they were becoming more and more courageous, and if this continued, all the Corrupt disciples would be quickly exterminated .

He was still able to accept the ordinary disciples dying here . But he absolutely could not allow a Favored to die .

That was why he had directly launched a sneak attack when he saw that Favored had been defeated .

He was someone above the Bone Forging realm . He was the same as Tu Fang, an expert in the Meridian Opening realm . Any one of his random attacks could easily crush Long Chen without giving him the slightest chance to resist . But Tu Fang had long since been prepared, and he moved as soon as he did .

"Kill all these bastards from the Righteous path! Especially this damn brat leading them!"

Gui Yan no longer cared about any rules . If this continued, then even their Favored would be killed, which would be a huge blow to the Corrupt path .

Once Long Chen killed that Favored, the entire battlefield would become unbalanced . The other Favored were also in danger, and so Gui Yan let out the order for the Elders to also get involved .

In his eyes, Long Chen was even more terrifying than Yin Luo and Mo Nian . That was because Long Chen was still in the Blood Condensation realm .

With that weak cultivation base, he was able to kill Favored a realm above him without giving him the slightest ability to retaliate . What kind of heaven-dying talent was that?

And the most alarming thing about him was not just Long Chen's battle strength, but that unparalleled intelligence . He had somehow managed to reverse what should have been a complete slaughter . That was what was most terrifying in Gui Yan's eyes .

If he allowed Long Chen to mature, then with that level of wisdom and strength, he would pose a mortal threat to the Corrupt path .

And so Gui Yan no longer gave a damn about the rules . He had to kill him!

"All forces move out! Don't let our juniors laugh at us!" shouted Tu Fang . All the Righteous Elders and senior disciples also charged out .

Their task was to stop the Corrupt path's experts . Long Chen had managed to reverse the situation, giving their junior disciples newfound confidence and passion . They held the absolute superiority at the moment .

The battlefield became a complete mess .

On one side were Tu Fang and Gui Yan . The two of them were old opponents, so they went full strength in all their attacks . The terrifying energy they released caused the huge mountain beneath their feet to crumble . Sword Qi surged to the sky, wild gales unfurled, and it was as if heaven and earth were about to explode .

A bit further from them were the regular Righteous and Corrupt Elders who were fiercely fighting, blood flying everywhere .

And then outside the Elders' battle were the senior disciples' battlefield . There were especially many of them, and their battle was the most chaotic .

The Righteous path's senior disciples' eyes were completely red . As long as it wasn't someone on their side, they would immediately go all-out to kill them . There was no longer any terror in their hearts, only endless killing intent .

Long Chen had completely excited their desire . That desire was to become strong . And to become strong required a powerful determination and resolution .

They finally realized where they were lacking . It wasn't that their talent was lacking, but that they didn't have a strong enough resolution in the face of death .

And so all those senior disciples were all attacking without fear of death . Their blood had long since begun to boil from watching their junior disciples, and now that they had an opportunity as well, they immediately leapt at it .

Long Chen hadn't expected the battle to quickly develop to this point . However, now the battlefield had already become a complete mess . He had to speed things up . Raising Devil Decapitator, he charged towards that Favored .

"Long Chen, use your Spiritual Strength to snatch his Dao-mark! That way you'll have a chance to become a Favored!" Tu Fang suddenly shouted out to Long Chen .

Long Chen was startled . He had heard that Favored were blessed with a trace of extra karmic luck from heaven and earth . Did that mean that karmic luck could be taken away?

His saber went slashing straight for that completely panicked Favored . In his fear, he used all his remaining strength to block with his sword .

As a result, his sawtooth sword finally shattered, and Long Chen's saber directly cut him in twain .

After that Favored's body was cut in two and all his vitality faded, a mark slowly surfaced from his forehead .

That mark was extremely odd, almost looking like a drawing . Within that drawing were the sun, moon, and stars, as well as mountains, plains, and rivers . They were just a bit indistinct .

"Quickly Long Chen! The Dao-mark will disappear soon!"

Tu Fang's sword was repeatedly striking out . He was going all out against Gui Yan . Just giving Long Chen this reminder was already extremely taxing, and he was forced into a disadvantage .

Long Chen hesitated a moment . Grabbing the upper half of that Favored's body, he rushed towards where another Favored was fighting .

Tang Wan-er and a group of other core disciples were currently risking life and limb to fight against that Favored .

After killing Lei Qianshang, that powerful Favored had managed to kill another two core disciples .

As for Tang Wan-er, Gu Yang, and the others, they were completely covered in blood and injuries . However, they were still going all out to siege him .

"Watch out!"

Suddenly, a loud cry rang out like a clap of thunder . A golden saber slashed down on that Favored like a heavenly blade .

That Favored had just knocked Gu Yang back, pushing him off balance . In fact, he was ninety percent certain that he would be able to kill Gu Yang right now .

But before he could celebrate that, a dense air of death completely locked him in place . He was horrified, and his water-thorn immediately went to block .

BOOM!

His entire body intensely trembled, and his organs felt as if they were flipping inside of him . He was sent flying back from that saber .

"Long Chen!"

Tang Wan-er and them were delighted by his arrival . They had been completely focused on their fight, and weren't aware of what was happening outside . In fact, they were so focused that they hadn't even heard anything happening outside .

"Wan-er, use your Spiritual Strength to snatch the Dao-mark on his head . The rest of you go kill other core disciples, quickly!"

After tossing Tang Wan-er the corpse, Long Chen rushed off, his saber once more attacking that Favored .

The others didn't hesitate after hearing Long Chen's orders . They all spread out, choosing their own core disciple targets . The faster they killed them, the greater chance their fellow disciples could survive .

Tang Wan-er took a deep breath as she looked at that corpse . Touching the space between her eyebrows, an incorporeal energy slowly spread into that Favored's Dao-mark .

As for the water-thorn Favored who had been sent flying by Long Chen, he quickly realized who that corpse was .

That Favored couldn't help being shocked . A powerful Favored had been killed so quickly?!

"Parting Wind Slash!"

Saber Qi filled the sky, slashing down viciously on that Favored .

From just his first blow, that Favored knew just how terrifying Long Chen was . There was no way he could fight against him directly .

His water-thorn thrust out, and a curtain of light appeared . He actually surprisingly used Long Chen's force to retreat .

That Favored was extremely crafty . Now that the battle had already progressed to such a chaotic state, he wasn't planning on facing Long Chen directly . He was hoping to retreat back into the Corrupt path's army .

And his defensive method was extremely odd . It was unknown what kind of technique he had used to actually deflect over half of Long Chen's attack .

Long Chen had an urge to chase after him, but he gave that up in the end . Something like that would take too long, which would be detrimental to their Righteous path . He rushed directly to where Chu Yao was .

There was no need for him to worry about Wilde . His spiked club was continuously whistling around, and he wasn't even slightly tired .

As for the Favored with the hatchet who he was fighting, he was constantly coughing out blood under Wilde's attacks . It was obvious he wouldn't be able to continue for much longer .

Chu Yao still occupied the superior position, but it would require a long time for her to kill that Favored . A battle of attrition had little attacking power .

Long Chen was planning on helping out Chu Yao to kill that Favored . Once they accomplished that, Chu Yao would be freed up to influence the rest of the battle .

With her powerful attack range, she would be able to influence the entire battle, tilting the scales of victory to the Righteous path .

Long Chen was rushing over to her when space suddenly solidified around him . He was alarmed to find a Bone Forging expert's pressure had locked him in place .

"Die brat!"

A Corrupt Elder had somehow managed to escape from the layers of blockades to charge at him .

Even in his shock, Long Chen saw a figure disappearing not far from him .

Long Chen clenched his teeth . He recognized that figure . Elder Sun had intentionally acted as if he had been unable to stop that person! He had let him by, hoping to use him to kill Long Chen .

You dare plot against me you old bastard? Just wait!

"Die!"

That Corrupt Elder icily shouted and a withered hand that looked like firewood slammed towards Long Chen .

[1] More puns! The word he used here for tortoise also means cuckold, similar to his green cap!
