Chapter 7171 Not Caring About Face

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Li Yifu had disengaged from Long Chen in order to attack Miao Yin and Zi Yan. He was trying to back Long Chen into a corner. As for Long Chen, he had already expected Li Yifu to do such a thing. There was no way that he could target Cang Lu or the Two-Face Ghost Wolf; the moment he touched that curse energy, he would instantly be infected, and even he wouldnt be able to purify it easily.

If his disciples were gone, he could raise more. In addition, he had actually tricked everyone and was secretly raising a batch of young heavenly geniuses. In other words, even if all the disciples here died, the Immortal Ascension Gates legacy would not be lost. That was why he had dared to use such a venomous sacrificial tactic earlier. Of course, he hadnt expected it to be countered so easily.

At this point, he had no choice. The alliance he had led had sent all their elites, and if he could not win this battle, he had no way to give his allies an explanation. Even as a half-step Heavenly Sovereign, he had to be cautious; he couldnt afford to lose here. But in his view, as long as he killed those two girls, Long Chen wouldnt be able to last more than a few exchanges. Thus, killing them was the safest choice.

As long as Cang Lu and the Two-Face Ghost Wolf were in the middle of those curse energy vortices, he didnt dare to attack them. But they also couldnt attack him from there, so he didnt need to worry about them. Meanwhile, Long Chens flame energy seemed endless. Who knew how long he could last? As for himself, he had actually used up almost seventy percent of his energy blocking Long Chens attacks.

When Long Chen first dragged him into a battle of attrition, he was quite happy with it. But now it seemed that Long Chen really had schemed against him. He had been willing to fight like that because he wanted Long Chen to end up weakened and then capture him in one move. After all, capturing Long Chen alive was infinitely better than simply killing him.

Regrettably, his schemes were within Long Chens plans. When he realized that, he immediately attacked Miao Yin and Zi Yan.

Having received a guarantee from Zi Yan, Long Chen was confident that they could defend against Li Yifu for a certain amount of time. As a result, he had no qualms about bringing the boundless clouds of fire towards the Immortal Ascension Gate. The Immortal Ascension Gates grand formations lasted less than half a breaths time before shattering under the assault of the flame spears.

In just a moment, Li Yifu was there to block him. But Long Chens attack range was simply absurd; Li Yifu was only able to protect a small central area of the sect from his assault. Countless immortal mountains, divine valleys, grand palaces, spiritual fields, and other wondrous constructions were instantly destroyed. This beautiful wonderland built up over millions and millions of years was turned into ruins almost instantly.

Long Chen! You wont have a good death! Li Yifu almost went crazy. Countless years of work had just been destroyed.

If he hadnt fought a battle of attrition with Long Chen, extracting the Immortal Ascension Gates karmic luck just to stretch out his own power, then Long Chen would have needed at least an incense sticks worth of time to break through their grand formations. After all, these formations had been laid down over countless years; how could a Sovereign Lord shatter them just like that?

Sadly, Li Yifu had extracted too much karmic luck, and he had not expected Long Chen to suddenly attack his sect. He was enraged, and also regretful. He had tried to attack Long Chens allies and force him onto his back leg, yet Li Yifu himself was the one with his back pressed against the wall now. He couldnt even counterattack, unless he truly was willing to sacrifice the entire Immortal Ascension Gate.

What he was protecting was the true core of the Immortal Ascension Gatethe karmic luck divine pool rested down below. If the divine pool was destroyed, then the name of the Immortal Ascension Gate would be stricken from the nine heavens and ten lands. As the gate master, without the support of the sects karmic luck, not only would he no longer have any hope of truly stepping into the Heavenly Sovereign realm, but he might even be forced to step back from the threshold.

Long Chens attacks did not stop. The flame spears continued to fly out with piercing sounds. Waves of fire spread.

Meanwhile, Miao Yin took a deep breath. Just now, when Li Yifu had turned his sights onto her, the terrifying pressure had made her whole body freeze. Her heart had stopped beating. A half-step Heavenly Sovereigns lock was truly terrifying. She could not understand just how much courage it took for Long Chen to fight an expert on this level!

She furtively looked at Zi Yan, only to see that her expression hadnt changed. It seemed as if everything was within her expectations. Seeing Miao Yin looking at her, Zi Yan gave her a smile.

The meaning behind that smile was that everything was under control, and there was no need to worry.

Miao Yin couldnt help sighing inside. As expected, everyone capable of being by Long Chens side was also a monster. Zi Yan definitely had a move or two of her own, or she wouldnt be so calm. She knew that Zi Yan had the Heavenly Devil Zither, but the zither was still mid-recovery, and Zi Yan was only a Sovereign Lord. There was no way she could unleash the true power of the Heavenly Devil Zither. However, the confidence in her eyes told Miao Yin that her power did not lie purely with the Heavenly Devil Zither. She was strong in her own right.

Miao Yins heart was shaken. Perhaps she isnt even weaker than Long Chen; she just doesnt want to show it. She is willing to stand behind Long Chen!

On the other side, Long Chens torrent of attacks continued. Huo Linger had immense energy reserves, and with Long Chens Heaven-Earth law empowerment state, there was still no sign of his attacks weakening.

Long Chen really is a monster in terms of both power and brains! He was able to turn around what should have been a crushing defeat! said one of the spectators in praise.

Before this, Li Yifu had completely crushed the battlefield with the aura of a half-step Heavenly Sovereign. Everyone had clearly witnessed just how immense his power was. However, all it took was three people to push Li Yifu to the brink. This was a heaven-defying turnaround.

Are you still just planning on watching?! Li Yifus flustered and furious roar rang out, startling people.

Fellow Daoist Long Chen, lets stop here. Enough people have died today!

A figure looking like a noble immortal appeared at this time.

Xuan Jizi!

Startled cries echoed. The moment Xuan Jizi appeared, he waved his hand, sending the hairs of a white horsetail whisk flying into the mass of flames.

Xuan Jizi, it seems that you really do want to die!

Just as Xuan Jizi attacked, a thunderous roar split open the void. A black dragon claw stretched out.

BOOM!

Xuan Jizis horsetail whisk was torn to shreds by the dragon claw. The dragon claw didnt stop, continuing towards Xuan Jizi.

Xuan Jizi did not do anything to block or dodge this mighty attack. He simply smiled coldly.

Courting death! the palace master roared. His claw suddenly stopped, and a dragon tail whipped out over Long Chens head.

BOOM!

The space above Long Chen exploded. A blurry figure was blasted out of hiding above him.

The figure spat out a mouthful of blood; clearly, they had suffered quite the impact. But the fact hat they survived a blow from the palace master indicated that they had touched the boundary of the Heavenly Sovereign realm! Everyone was shocked. Someone on that level had actually tried to launch a sneak attack on a Sovereign Lord. Just how shameless was that?

Just as the palace master sent this person flying, the space behind Long Chen twisted. A thin and slender sword pierced out of the void and towards Long Chens back.
