"Boss, what's wrong?"
Bai Xiaole chased after him, only to find that Long Chen had already transformed into a golden phantom and rushed toward the inner courtyard, moving at an incredible speed.
"Stop asking, hurry over."
Bai Shishi saw Long Chen's expression change instantly, and knowing things were going badly, she immediately rushed out with Bai Xiaole.
Long Chen's Kunpeng wings shone behind him, his speed pushed to the limit. He didn't even have time to answer Bai Xiaole, shooting toward the inner courtyard like a streak of light. The disciples inside the academy were stunned, confused about what had happened.
Long Chen headed straight for a building in the inner courtyard, where the core disciples lived, and the academy's top geniuses lived there.
"Luo Ning, be careful."
Long Chen shouted sharply, like thunder exploding, shaking the world and changing color. At that moment, a purple divine light erupted from within the building, shattering it in an instant. Countless chaotic sounds flew out from within.
"Whoosh."
At that moment, Long Chen charged straight into the swirling dust. Luo Ning's figure appeared before his eyes, but her heart was pierced by a sharp blade, purple blood nearly drained, and her soul fire rapidly dimmed, on the verge of death.
Long Chen was both shocked and furious. He grabbed Luo Ning, but at that moment, a thin, long blade, like the teeth of a venomous snake, silently stabbed toward Long Chen's right rib.
Long Chen reached out with his right hand to grab Luo Ning, exposing a gap in his right rib. The moment the thin, long blade pierced out, Long Chen felt a sharp pain in his ribs, and half his body went numb.
Long Chen was shocked. The blade hadn't stabbed him, but it felt as if he had been struck—the pain was so real.
It seemed like an illusion, but ordinary illusions couldn't confuse Long Chen's mind. It felt like a rehearsal, yet it made him instinctively want to retreat.
"Buzz"—On Long Chen's
right rib, dragon scales appeared, covered with stars, forming a star shield. Long Chen still reached out to grab Luo Ning.
"Smack!"
"Sssh!"
Just as Long Chen's large hand grabbed Luo Ning's wrist, the thin, long blade sliced through Long Chen's star shield and dragon scale defense.
Long Chen's right rib was cut wide, and at the very moment the blade cut through his skin, the purple blood inside Long Chen was wildly sucked out by a mysterious force.
Long Chen was shocked. He finally understood why the purple blood inside Luo Ning vanished instantly. It turned out this evil blade was forged specifically to target purple blood—it was a vampire evil weapon.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, from the endless smoke and dust, a surprised voice rang out. It seemed that although this strike had clearly broken through Long Chen's defense, it couldn't absorb more purple blood.
"Divine Dragon Tail Swing!"
Long Chen roared angrily and threw a kick. A violent force surged forth, the dragon tail swept across ten thousand miles, and with a thunderous explosion, Long Chen kicked the void apart.
"Ssss ss..."
A sharp blade slashed continuously in the void, slicing several large gaps in the void. A transparent figure darted back and forth through those openings, actually escaping Long Chen's attack range.
At that moment, Bai Shishi and Bai Xiaole arrived. Upon seeing the transparent shadow, Bai Shishi immediately summoned a vision, her golden sword piercing through the air and charging at the figure.
"Come back quickly!"
Long Chen cried out in alarm, grabbing Luo Ning's wrist with one hand. Purple blood slowly flowed from his finger into Luo Ning's arm and rushed out at the same time.
"Clang"
At that moment, Luo Bing's long sword struck the thin, long blade. Sparks flew as people finally saw this strange blade.
It was a long sword, four feet long but only one finger wide. The blade was covered with barbs, each with small holes. The sword swung like a venomous snake.
"Xiao Le, teleportation."
Long Chen shouted.
At that moment, Bai Shishi slashed her sword at the sword, thinking she could cut the opponent's sword, and even if she couldn't, she would force the opponent to retreat.
But what she didn't expect was that after blocking her blow, the strange sword coiled around her sword like a venomous snake, then flicked its tongue like a venomous snake, shooting straight at her face.
At the very moment the sword pierced straight ahead, Bai Shishi suddenly felt a sharp pain in her soul, her whole body stiffening as she watched helplessly as the blade pierced straight into her forehead.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, space twisted, and Bai Shishi's body vanished in an instant. The sharp blade pierced through the void, but did not harm Bai Shishi in the slightest.
At the critical moment, Bai Xiaole used his eye technique to move Bai Shishi away. At that moment, both Bai Shishi and Bai Xiaole's faces turned pale with fear.
No one expected the opponent to be so terrifying—one move could decide life or death. If Bai Xiaole hadn't listened to Long Chen and used his eye technique without thinking, Bai Shishi would have already died.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, Long Chen charged forward, wielding the Seven-Colored Divine Sword and slashing fiercely at the transparent figure.
"Dang dang dang ..."
The twin swords slashed repeatedly, slashing hundreds of times in an instant. When the two separated, Bai Shishi and Bai Xiaole's faces changed drastically. Long Chen's shoulder was dripping with blood, and he was struck once again.
"So you're the Long Chen from you, right?"
At that moment, the transparent figure did not seize the opportunity to attack. Instead, he retreated some distance, his strange longsword pointed at Long Chen.
It was a man's voice, very strange, with pitches completely different from human pronunciation, clearly not human.
His voice was like his strange sword—chilling the soul, as if poisoned to the ears, terrifying.
"Who are you?" Long Chen said coldly.
"It seems you really are Long Chen. How disappointing. Lord Ying Tian actually regards someone like you as a worthy opponent. You're being flattered." The transparent figure shook his head, his voice full of contempt.
"You are from Tianfu."
Bai Shishi and Bai Xiaole were shocked and exclaimed in unison. They hadn't expected that the dean had just warned Long Chen that the people from the Heavenly Mansion had already attacked Lingxiao Academy.
Not only did they break into the academy, they also infiltrated the inner courtyard. The grand formation of Lingxiao Academy had now become nothing but a decoration. Bai Shishi and Bai Xiaole immediately felt their scalps tingle—the Fate-Hunting Clan was even more terrifying than they had imagined.
"Actually, with your strength, you're not worthy of being Lord Yingtian's match. Even I could easily kill you. Unfortunately, without Lord Yingtian's order, I can't kill you." The man said calmly.
As soon as he spoke, the disciples of the academy drawn by the commotion from afar were all stunned. What is happening to this world? How did such a terrifying presence suddenly appear?
Judging by the tone, he was just a subordinate of that man named Ying Tian, yet he had the strength to injure Long Chen, even boasting he could easily kill him. People were completely stunned.
"Luo Ning."
Just then, a cry came from the crowd—it was Luo Bing rushing over after seeing her sister unconscious.
"Buzz"—
at that moment, the transparent figure vanished in an instant, and just as he vanished, Long Chen moved.
