Long Chen was doing his best to block the Starry Sky Warrior's attack. He had used all his strength in this strike, but unexpectedly, someone launched a surprise attack at this critical moment.
The attacker's timing and angle were all extremely skillful. Long Chen only sensed it the moment he made his move, showing just how restrained this man was.
And the moment that person made his move, Long Chen's mind naturally appeared with Ying Tian's cold, demonic eyes.
It must be said, Ying Tian was extremely patient. He had always been in the midst of the heavenly tribulation, yet chose to hide, showing no murderous intent toward Long Chen, thus escaping Long Chen's perception.
Only then, at the critical moment, did he deliver a fatal blow to Long Chen. Although the sword didn't kill him, because Long Chen dodged the attack, he couldn't fully deal with the Star Warrior. The vast ocean-like power of the Star Warrior erupted within Long Chen in an instant.
At this moment, Long Chen felt his body about to explode. He was both shocked and furious, calculating everything but forgetting about this terrifying assassin.
"Boom!"
From the Starry Sky Warrior's whale bone whip, a beam of light shot out. The power that should have exploded inside Long Chen was instead shooting out from the tip of the whip.
The straight whale bone whip suddenly bent, and the beam of light shot straight toward Long Chen's left and rear side.
"Pfft!"
Blood light splattered as a figure wielding a long sword appeared. That person was none other than Ying Tian, the top assassin of the Fate Hunter clan. However, Ying Tian's face was filled with terror, and half of his body was shattered by the force of the whale bone whip.
He never imagined that even at this point, Long Chen still had the power to reverse the tide. He couldn't understand why Long Chen could use the power of the Starry Sky Warriors to kill him.
As the top assassin of the Life Hunter clan, he was extremely experienced. In his eyes, no matter what method Long Chen used, he was doomed to die.
At the moment Long Chen counterattacked, he was aware of danger as an assassin and instinctively dodged, which saved his life.
Just like Long Chen dodging his attack, although he dodged, he didn't completely dodge. Half his body was reduced to dust, and he nearly lost his life.
"Whoosh."
Yingtian didn't have time to think further; his figure flickered, and he vanished into the void like a ghost.
"Boom!"
At that moment, Long Chen broke free from the Starry Sky Warrior's whale bone whip and threw a punch at Ying Tian's location. The void shattered, and countless fragments of space flew about, faintly visible as a shadow flashed by.
Long Chen was both shocked and furious. He was still a step too late. If he had been a step earlier, he could have blown this guy apart with a single punch.
Only then did people snap out of their shock. Yingtian's attack was like a ghostly assassination, with no warning in advance. By the time they reacted, everything was over.
Both Long Chen and Ying Tian had come back from the brink of death, and the whole process happened in the blink of an eye.
"Whoosh!"
Long Chen punched into the air, his figure flickering. A whale bone whip sliced through the sky, whistling close to Long Chen's body, and the Starry Sky Warrior charged at him once again. Long Chen stepped on the void, hurriedly dodging.
People noticed a large hole appeared in Long Chen's chest, looking rather frightening. Clearly, the Star Warrior's strike was extremely destructive; even with Long Chen's recovery ability, he couldn't recover anytime soon.
Long Chen's face darkened. The assassination just now had made him break out in a cold sweat. If Lei Ling'er hadn't possessed the Starry Sky Warrior and diverted the power from the whale bone whip, even if he had ten lives, he would have died here.
"Although I didn't kill you this time, now you only have half your life left. Let's see how you deal with this so-called strongest warrior beneath the stars." At that moment, Ying Tian's sinister voice rang out again.
Judging by Ying Tian's voice, it seemed he hadn't suffered any fatal injuries, and his voice was unpredictable, echoing from all directions, making it impossible to pinpoint his exact location.
"The strongest warrior under the starry sky?" Isn't that the legendary ..."
"Star Warrior?"
People were shocked. The Star Warriors were figures from mythology, always believed to be mere imagined and fabricated powerful beings to warn future generations that there are always people better out there.
Among the powerful beings present, only those prodigies with profound knowledge and deep foundations had heard of the name Star Warrior.
"No wonder it's so terrifying—even the Nine-Star Heir was wiped out in one blow." Someone exclaimed.
Rumor has it that the Nine-Star Heir is the strongest warrior in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, so the only ones who could kill him are probably the Star Warriors from mythological stories.
People stared at the Starry Sky Warrior, all horrified. They never imagined that such a terrifying existence would manifest during Long Chen's heavenly tribulation.
However, what they didn't know was that the reason the Nine-Star Heir was instantly killed was because his strength was suppressed to the same level as Long Chen.
And the Starry Sky Warrior's realm clearly falls outside the bounds of the Heavenly Tribulation Law. This is a despicable act of cheating, and Long Chen is left with no way to voice his frustration, only desperately dodging.
Facing Ying Tian's taunt, he was even more furious. If Ying Tian hadn't caused trouble and teamed up with Lei Ling'er, he would have had a fifty percent chance of severely injuring the Starry Sky Warrior in one blow. Although he wouldn't be able to kill him in one blow, he was confident he could suppress his cultivation to the same level as himself.
As long as they were of the same level, even without weapons, Long Chen feared the Starry Sky Warriors. But all that good thing was shattered by Ying Tian's sword.
"Boom boom boom... Long
Chen struck with fists and feet, sending ripples through the void. He seemed to go mad, trying to find Ying Tian's figure.
"Heh heh, I never expected the famous Long Chen to be so angry he'd go crazy. It's useless, you can't find my place.
And I quietly watch you, struggling madly, but it is all in vain. I will watch you walk into the embrace of death with admiration, bit by bit. Ying Tian sneered coldly.
At this moment, he was like a cheetah in the night, staring intently at his prey, waiting for its demise. His voice was both angry and terrifying.
Outside, the Dragon Blood warriors grew anxious. They had come into contact with the Fate Hunter clan's powerful warriors before. They knew well how terrifying the Fate Hunter clan was. In such a chaotic environment, such a terrifying figure was lurking. Long Chen was in danger.
"Let me deal with him."
Yue Zifeng's expression turned cold as he was about to rush out. He knew only he and Long Chen could deal with this guy. Long Chen had to face the Starry Sky Warriors' pursuit and guard against surprise attacks from Luo Changsheng and the others, making it impossible to focus on dealing with Ying Tian.
"Zifeng, you must not ...!"
Everyone exclaimed. If Yue Zifeng rushed into the heavenly tribulation, he might be killed before he could even catch Yingtian.
"Boom!"
At that moment, a loud explosion rang out from the heavenly tribulation. Long Chen turned back several times in the void, punching the void apart, forcing a figure to emerge.
"The boss succeeded. When
they saw Ying Tian's figure, the Dragonblood warriors erupted in cheers.
"Whoosh!"
At the very moment Ying Tian was forced out, the whale bone whip swept across, striking straight at him.
