The moment his words fell, Zhan Jiu Chong lunged at Long Chen and Chu Lingjun, attempting to drain their vital essence.
Chu Lingjun hastily circulated her energy to defend herself. To her surprise, however, an invisible force immediately suppressed her. Her very soul felt as if it were being torn from her body, causing her immense pain.
Seeing Chu Lingjun's state, Long Chen rushed to her side. "Sister Chu!" he cried, holding her steady.
"Hm?" Zhan Jiu Chong stared intently at Long Chen, a flicker of surprise flashing through his mind. This brat isn't affected by the pressure? What's going on?
Before he could figure it out, Long Chen threw a punch at him!
Zhan Jiu Chong swiftly waved his hand. An invisible barrier of Battle qi coalesced before him, blocking Long Chen's attack.
Long Chen struck with all his might, but it had no effect on Zhan Jiu Chong.
Instead, Zhan Jiu Chong intensified the soul pressure, attempting to forcibly rip Long Chen's soul from his body!
