Nine Star Hegemon Body Art - Chapter 5788

“One attack is all I need! Violet Blood Heavenly Blade!” Luo Yanfeng roared as violet flames ignited across his body.

Like a god of fire, he swung down his broadsword, unleashing a tidal wave of violet flames that set the very sky ablaze.

Bi Yingxue's pupils contracted in shock. She had never considered Luo Yanfeng a true opponent. To her, he was completely beneath her—a mere child playing at battle. She had seen him fight just months ago, and back then, he had been insignificant. 

Yet now, she was completely locked down by the brutal attack and had no choice but to take it head-on. How had he grown so much in such a short time?

“Let me!” 

Just as Bi Yingxue prepared to counter, a towering figure stepped in front of her. It was Bi Ta, who also wielded a massive broadsword.

Thirteen heaven veins ignited around Bi Ta, and the veins on his arms bulged with runic energy. His muscles swelled as he swung his sword down to meet Luo Yanfeng’s strike.

BOOM!

The two broadswords clashed, unleashing a violent shockwave of violet divine light. Bi Ta grunted, forced back three steps.

Luo Yanfeng, on the other hand, coughed up blood and was sent flying. His broadsword was torn from his grasp, spinning through the air.

Bi Ta’s expression darkened. He prided himself on his raw strength, believing himself unmatched within his race. Yet in this exchange, though it seemed like he had won, he knew the truth—it was a draw at best.

After all, Luo Yanfeng had expended a significant amount of energy before executing that attack, while Bi Ta was still in peak condition. And yet, Bi Ta’s Blood Qi was a mess after the clash, and he was staggering.

“This guy… he can’t be left alive!” shouted Bi Ta.

A fierce glint flashed in Bi Ta’s eyes. Luo Yanfeng’s growth rate was terrifying. If left unchecked, it was only a matter of time before Luo Yanfeng surpassed him.

Now Bi Ta understood why the Bi family’s higher-ups were so desperate to eliminate Luo Yanfeng and the others. They had to be eradicated before they became a real threat.

“Die!”

Bi Ta shot toward Luo Yanfeng, his broadsword slashing down toward his head.

At that moment, Luo Yanfeng’s bones were mostly broken, and his aura was chaotic. He had no way to dodge.

Yet, his expression remained calm. He looked at Luo Jiang and the others, who were fighting desperately, and smiled.

Luo Yanfeng muttered, “Hehe, What nonsense were you all spouting? I’m the big brother. Naturally, I have to go first. How could I let you guys go ahead of me?”

Bi Ta’s sword descended.

However, Luo Yanfeng didn’t close his eyes and stared at his opponent. Even in the face of death, he wouldn’t retreat. That was what Long Chen had taught him.

Just as the blade was about to cleave his head in two, a hand wrapped in violet runes caught it firmly.

“What?!”

Bi Ta’s pupils shrank as he saw the owner of that hand.

“Long Chen!”

The Luo family’s disciples all cheered when they saw who it was, but their expressions quickly changed.

“Long Chen, run! It’s a trap!” they shouted desperately.

Long Chen’s expression was gloomy. Black spots were welling up within his eyes as his killing intent surged. He was trembling with rage.

In the end, he had underestimated the Bi family’s treachery, shamelessness, and audacity. They had mobilized so many experts without considering the consequences.

He had thought that after Bi Wanan’s death, the Bi family would exercise restraint. And if they sought revenge, it would be in the shadows, hidden within the struggles between disciples.

However, he was wrong. The Bi family saw the rise of Luo Yanfeng and the others, and they were willing to pay any price to cut them down before they became unstoppable.

“Long Chen!” 

Luo Yanfeng was moved by Long Chen’s arrival. However… he didn’t want Long Chen to come and die in this place.

Luo Yanfeng’s strongest attack had failed to injure Bi Ta, and the Bi family had dispatched four warriors of this caliber. In Luo Yanfeng’s mind, this wasn’t a battle—it was an execution. 

Violet blood dripped from Long Chen’s palm. Though he had caught Bi Ta’s sword, the blade had sliced his flesh.

“Get into formation!” shouted Long Chen.

Luo Ying, Luo Jiang, Zihei, and the others immediately regrouped, abandoning any thoughts of escape. They fell in line behind him, forming up defensively.

“Hahaha, Long Chen, you finally came! Now that you’re here, be prepared to die. Any resistance is meaningless,” Bi Ta sneered.

Bi Yingxue, Bi Yong, Bi Tianxing, and Bi Ta encircled Long Chen from four directions, sealing off all routes of retreat.

Long Chen waved his hand, sending Luo Yanfeng into the Luo family’s formation.

“Big brother Yanfeng, what should we do?” asked Luo Ying. 

She would rather die with everyone than watch Long Chen throw his life away trying to save them.

“Buy me some time!” Luo Yanfeng shouted. 

His Blood Qi was still in turmoil. He needed time to recover before he could fight again.

“What else can we do? We fight to the death!” Luo Jiang declared. “We drag as many of them down as we can. At least, we won’t be lonely on the path to the yellow springs!”

Luo Jiang was already prepared to die. Just now, he had killed dozens of the Bi family’s elite disciples, so he was already very satisfied.

Long Chen suddenly waved his hand, sending a powerful force crashing into Bi Ta, making him stumble back several steps. The space beneath him rumbled and cracked.

Yet, to everyone’s shock, Long Chen’s heaven vein dragon qi vanished. He had retracted it.

“Oh? So you really are ready to die?” Bi Yingxue sneered. “In that case, you can just kill yourself. I’ll consider leaving your corpse intact.”

Though they mocked him, they were a bit nervous inside. The way Long Chen had caught Bi Ta’s sword earlier was… unnatural. They didn’t dare underestimate him.

“You’re despicable. And foolish,” Long Chen said coldly. “Your Bi family will pay a painful price for this.”

“A painful price? Hahaha, says who? Even the race leader doesn’t have the guts to say something so absurd!” laughed Bi Tianxing.

“I say so,” said Long Chen.

Bi Tianxing snorted. “Hahaha, you’ve gone mad, haven’t you?”

With a chillingly calm voice, Long Chen said, “I, Long Chen, always do what I say. But you… you won’t live to see it.”

He slowly extended his hand, and the wound on his palm sealed shut. After that, he stared at his own hand, murmuring to himself.

“My violet blood comes from my mom, so I won’t use it to kill her own people. That would be blasphemy to her… In that case…”

“Violet Dragon Battle Armor!”

A majestic and sacred dragon cry echoed through the heavens. A wild blood qi surged from Long Chen, sweeping across the battlefield like a tide.
