Nine Star Hegemon Body Art

Chapter 374


Chapter 374

The person who had come possessed a powerful aura that caused space to twist around him . He was surprisingly a Chosen . His clothes marked him as a Righteous disciple .

But the shocking thing was that his eyes were absent-minded, and his aura was chaotic . His life force was rapidly fading .

That person seemed to have lost himself in panic, and his expression was full of terror . He was fleeing with all his might, not even caring about the direction . He was coincidentally running in Long Chen and Meng Qi’s direction .

That person was still dozens of meters away when he suddenly collapsed on the ground . Long Chen and Meng Qi hastily went over .

“Let me . ” Meng Qi had been about to extend her hand when Long Chen stopped her . He ran up to him and swept his divine sense over his entire body . Only when he didn’t find any anomalies did he turn him around .

“Wake up! What happened?”

“Corrupt… Corrupt…” That person was already on the verge of dissociating . His eyes were losing all their light, and he was replying completely unconsciously .

Long Chen’s heart chilled . From his previous examination, he had already seen that all this person’s meridians had exploded .

Normally, he shouldn’t have even had any energy to even run . It was unknown what secret technique he had used . He had overdrafted his life force to continue fleeing .

But his life force was no longer able to continue . His body was already starting to decompose . Long Chen hastily poured his spiritual qi into his body . “What happened?!”

With the assistance of Long Chen’s spiritual qi, that person regained the slightest bit of energy . “Corrupt path… Yin Luo… killing… stealing…”

“Where is he killing people?” asked Long Chen hastily .

But after saying those last six words, this person was no longer able to hold on . His head tilted to the side, and his life force was completely severed .

“His entire body’s meridians have exploded, and the majority of his bones are broken . It looks like he was crushed by a kind of a multi-target attack . ” Long Chen’s expression was solemn .

“Who could be so powerful that they could launch a group attack that is capable one-shotting Chosen?” Meng Qi was shocked . But then her expression changed . “That Yin Luo he mentioned, he was referring to the Corrupt path’s top expert?!”

Long Chen nodded . “That’s the most likely scenario . Other than Yin Luo’s natural energy attacks, I don’t know any other kind of power that can practically decompose a Chosen . ”

Just from looking at this person’s injuries, Long Chen could tell that that bastard’s ability to control natural energy had advanced once more . Yin Luo truly was terrifying .

At this time, Chu Yao and Lu Fang-er had also rushed back due to the clamor . When they heard what had happened, their expressions changed . The Corrupt path’s number one expert, Yin Luo, was in the vicinity . That gave them a great deal of pressure .

Just Yin Wushuang was already terrifying . But now the Corrupt path’s number one expert, the one equally famed as Han Tianyu, was near them . Those two were truly unrivaled existences within their generation .

“What should we do? Should we leave?” said Lu Fang-er worriedly .

“We can’t . As members of the Righteous path, we must be chivalrous, help out the weak, and uphold justice . I’ve decided to get revenge for this brother . ” Long Chen shook his head, appearing the picture of righteousness .

Meng Qi and Lu Fang-er couldn’t help being stunned . They hadn’t imagined Long Chen would suddenly practically turn into a different person . Meng Qi advised, “Long Chen, it’s not like you had any relationship with this person…”

“Sister, you’ve been duped . How would Long Chen have such good intentions as to getting this person revenge? He’s just trying to kill people for their treasures . ” Chu Yao pulled on Meng Qi’s hand and laughed .

“Cough, did you have to say it so directly? How about this: I will carry the pretense of stealing pressure all so that I can get revenge for this brother . After all, he did give me some clues,” said Long Chen with some embarrassment .

Meng Qi and Lu Fang-er looked at each other in dismay . Long Chen wanted to kill the number one expert of the Corrupt path for his treasures? That was too crazy .

“Are you serious Long Chen?” Meng Qi and Lu Fang-er asked at the same time .

“Sisters, you must still be unaware . Long Chen is already acquainted with that Yin Luo . Before the Jiuli secret realm opened, there was a great Righteous and Corrupt path war . For some reason, Yin Luo was sent to Long Chen’s particular war zone, and as a result, Long Chen severed one of his legs,” said Chu Yao .

“Is that true?!” Meng qi and Lu Fang-er were both shocked . That was far too hard to believe .

Chu Yao told them about what had happened in that battle . From beginning to end, Meng Qi and Lu Fang-er were incomparably shocked . They had never imagined Long Chen had grown to such a terrifying realm .

Back when they had first met him, Long Chen had been only at the third Heavenstage of Qi Condensation .

But in just over a year, Long Chen was now able to stand shoulder to shoulder with peak experts like Yin Luo and Mo Nian .

“That battle didn’t really count . It was only because I had Mo Nian and Chu Yao with me that we won in the end . If it had just been myself, I would have been completely oppressed by Yin Luo . ” Long Chen bitterly smiled . He had never considered himself to have been that amazing in that battle, as it had only been won through everyone’s contribution .

Meng Qi shook his head and praised, “That’s not the same . At that time, you were only at Blood Condensation, while Yin Luo had reached Tendon Transformation; you were separated by a major realm . Long Chen, you really are powerful . ”

Although countless people had praised him and he had seen countless worshipful gazes, those didn’t cause any great waves in Long Chen . But being praised by Meng Qi, pride involuntarily swelled within him .

However, he still shook his head . “Yin Luo’s strength has reached an abnormal level . Back when we first entered the secret realm, he ended up immediately targeting me, and I almost died to him . ” Long Chen told them about what had happened with Yin Luo at the beginning . His expression was extremely solemn . “At that time, Yin Luo’s control of natural energy was still coarse . But looking at this person’s wounds, it seems Yin Luo has already gained a measure of control over his Xiantian power, and so he must be even more terrifying . ”

The most abnormal part about Yin Luo was that he had refined Xiantian essence blood, and was able to control a measure of natural energy, something only Xiantian experts should have been able to do . But Yin Luo was able to do so in Tendon Transformation . Although it was just a small amount, it was enough to allow him to dominate the same realm .

It was unknown just what techniques Han Tianyu had for him to stand on the same level as Yin Luo . But Han Tianyu’s trump cards were definitely not inferior to Yin Luo’s .

“Long Chen, how sure are you of being able to defeat Yin Luo?” asked Meng Qi .

Long Chen hesitated . “Conservatively, it should be around fifty percent . But my chance of killing him is probably zero . So I’ll need your help . ”

“You want to kill him?” The three women were all stunned . Long Chen was crazy . He wanted to kill a top expert?

“This is probably my only chance to kill Yin Luo . Back when Yin Luo chased after me, his cultivation base had already reached the ninth Heavenstage of Tendon Transformation . Now that over two months have passed, he should have reached the peak of Tendon Transformation, and perhaps he has already begun to touch that barrier . So killing him now is my only chance . If he advances to Bone Forging, there’ll be no chance at all . ”

With the assistance of his medicinal pills, Long Chen’s cultivation base had just recently reached the second Heavenstage of Tendon Transformation . Trying to catch up to Yin Luo in terms of cultivation base was just folly .

So Long Chen placed great importance on this opportunity . The enmity between the two had reached the point that they would fight a battle to the death the instant they saw each other . This was the most opportune moment for Long Chen .

The three women nodded when they saw Long Chen was so confident, and so they didn’t try to dissuade him any further .

“I don’t need the three of you to directly fight . It’s best if you conceal yourselves at first and just prepare to stop him from running . If we end up in a draw or I’m not able to defeat him, just give up on the plan and run . I have my own methods to escape him, so you don’t need to worry about me,” warned Long Chen .

Although the three of them were extremely powerful, especially Meng Qi and Chu Yao, Long Chen didn’t dare place them in such danger .

The person they were targeting was the number one expert of the Corrupt path . If even one of them ended up in an accident, then even ten thousand deaths wouldn’t be able to wash away his guilt .

“Little Snow will lead the way . On the way, Meng Qi, show me your best attacks and your fighting style . ” Long Chen summoned out Little Snow . With his nose, it was easy to trace where that fellow had come from .

After burying that person, the four of them began to follow Little Snow even deeper into the Forest of Darkness .

With Little Snow leading the way, Meng Qi began to explain her various spiritual attacks . At the same time, she imparted several principles and usages of spiritual attacks .

Long Chen was astonished by how complicated the spiritual attacks Meng Qi told him were . Compared to the ones Lu Fang-er had taught him, it was much more taxing to use these .

Even with Long Chen’s incredibly vast soul energy, some of those soul arts would require his full strength to use .

Long Chen finally understood why Lu Fang-er had been unable to come into contact with these soul arts . That was because her Spiritual Strength was too lacking to use these powerful techniques .

From Meng Qi’s explanations, Long Chen couldn’t help sighing that soul arts were really too powerful . The amount of knowledge and theories contained within them were as vast as an ocean . As they travelled atop Little Snow, Meng Qi became Long Chen’s secret teacher .

Long Chen himself was an alchemist, and he possessed his Pill God memories . His ability to control his Spiritual Strength had definitely reached a masterful level .

Although the methods to circulate soul energy was different between soul arts and pill refining, the countless differences didn’t change the fact that they were from the same origin . The principles were similar, and Long Chen comprehended them extremely quickly .

As a result, Meng Qi reacted in the same as Lu Fang-er did, and ended up completely stunned by Long Chen’s terrifying talent . No matter what soul art it was, Long Chen would essentially be able to comprehend the whole thing as soon as she explained it once .

Then he would ask her some questions about some specifics, and the questions he brought up were always the areas that were easiest to end up making slip-ups . After those few questions, he would have a fundamental understanding on how to use it .

It wasn’t just Long Chen who was benefiting from Meng Qi’s knowledge . Chu Yao was also learning many things, as her soul energy was also extremely powerful . She used her powerful soul energy to control her wood energy . These transformations and methods to use soul energy showed her many new ways to control her wooden stakes .

“Slow down . ” Long Chen suddenly waved his hand . Little Snow had sent back news that there were traces of battle ahead .

That should be the direction that injured person had come from . The four of them began to carefully advance . In just a couple hundred meters, they saw Little Snow . Not far from Little Snow were two corpses, and the ground was a complete mess .

Although the two of them had died, their powerful auras had yet to completely fade, and it was possible to tell these two had also reached the Chosen-level .

“Looks like it was here . There’s a basin up ahead with mountains on all sides, and there’s only one entrance . Then let’s act according to the plan . You three guard the entrance here, and I’ll go on ahead . ”

“Be careful,” the three of them warned him at the same time .

Long Chen smiled slightly and nodded . He carefully ventured ahead .
