Chapter 809
The attack had come without the slightest warning . By the time Long Chen had reacted, a thin sword only the width of a thumb pierced his body .
In that instant, the image of a masked figure appeared in his mind . That mask was covered in many lines .
“Huang Junmo!”
Long Chen’s heart shook . He suddenly felt an explosive energy coming through the sword . An immense power was about to erupt, and if he allowed it to erupt in his body, he wouldn’t even have a corpse left .
He didn’t defend against it, nor did he try fleeing . He suppressed that instinctive desire and instead gathered all his energy into his saber, stabbing it behind him .
Having condensed all his energy within the saber, as long as it touched his opponent’s body, it would definitely release an earth-shattering power . The first thing Long Chen did was to unleash an attack to bring down his opponent with him .
The sword was quickly extracted from his back . Blood flew through the air, flowing easily . That sword seemed to possess some special energy that could make a person bleed faster .
Long Chen hastily circulated the primal chaos space . Life energy instantly healed his injuries . His saber continued forward .
Previously, this suicidal move had seemed reckless, but in truth, it was the only way he could have escaped his death .
After escaping the threat of the sword’s energy erupting within him, Long Chen still didn’t retreat but instead launched a fierce attack .
Huang Junmo was truly too terrifying . In all this time, this was the first time the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art had failed to sense the danger of a sneak attack .
Huang Junmo must have some exceedingly strange secret art to completely conceal his killing intent .
Long Chen’s sword stabbed behind him . But where he thought there would be someone, there was no one .
BOOM!
A powerful force sent Long Chen staggering forward a few steps . Looking back, he saw a masked man holding the ancient lamp . It was Huang Junmo .
He held a thin transparent sword . Without looking carefully, it was very difficult to see it .
Most importantly, there were no fluctuations coming from it . It was like it wasn’t a weapon, but just a refined piece of craftsmanship .
“Truly worthy of being Long Chen . This is the first time this move of mine has failed,” said Huang Junmo indifferently .
“This move of yours really is very powerful . It’s my first time having someone stealthily stab me,” said Long Chen .
He was furious . One reason was because of this assassination attempt, while the other reason was that the mysterious ancient lamp had ended up in Huang Junmo’s hands .
“Haha, interesting . However, this ancient lamp is something I noticed first . I also had long since seen through this trap laid by the Bonethorn Bloodmoths . They are using the fresh blood of experts to extinguish the lampwick . Then, the final formations of the island will be completely broken, and they’ll be completely free . So I was waiting here for a long time for people to come, but I didn’t expect that a big fish like you would come swimming into my trap . ” Huang Junmo smiled and put away the ancient lamp .
Long Chen was startled . So Huang Junmo had seen through some clues as soon as he had arrived here and simply been lying in wait for others to step into the trap .
At this time, the other experts were still fiercely fighting the Bonethorn Bloodmoths . As for over here, although the sky was also covered in them, as long as Long Chen didn’t take the initiative to attack them, they also didn’t attack him .
“As an assassin, do you really think you can flee once you’re exposed right in front of me?” asked Long Chen, his aura slowly rising .
“Flee? No . Although one principle of assassins is to flee if we fail to kill someone in one attack, there’s no need for me to follow it . Those who follow the rules normally don’t have any ability . Although I am proficient in the Assassin Dao, that doesn’t represent that I’m the same as other assassins and can’t face people head-on . Sometimes, relying on just assassination isn’t very fun .
“Seeing so much of my prey die without even having a chance to struggle is too boring . If it weren’t for the assassin’s creed, I wouldn’t have bothered with this sneak attack just now . Luckily, you didn’t die so easily, or this game would be over already . In truth, I like to see experts die in front of me while being filled with despair,” said Huang Junmo, acting as if Long Chen was just prey in his eyes .
“I don’t think so . That attack just now was your only chance to kill me . But you missed it . ”
BOOM!
Long Chen’s divine ring appeared behind him, and four stars revolved in his eyes . A terrifying pressure descended upon the world, and a constant rumbling filled the air just due to Long Chen’s existence .
An immense saber-image soared into the sky, slaughtering any Bonethorn Bloodmoths it came into contact with . Others might not be able to kill them, but they were too weak to endure a single attack from Long Chen .
Huang Junmo’s pupils shrank . His aura also erupted and three-colored runes appeared behind him . He also entered his strongest state by summoning his Cry of the Heavenly Daos .
The sword in his hand slashed forward to meet Long Chen’s saber . A powerful explosion shook the land . Blinding waves of light erupted .
Those waves of light spread in every direction, and the altar beside them instantly collapsed . The mountain of skeletons was also blown to bits . Guo Ran had still been in the midst of gathering treasures, and as a result, he was sent flying . Wherever these waves of light went, those Bonethorn Bloodmoths were directly torn apart .
The sky immediately brightened . The heaven-shrouding Bonethorn Bloodmoths had been greatly reduced by this attack .
“Quick, run!” Everyone immediately began to flee . But they had only just shot out when their expressions completely changed .
Because at this moment, the ground of Insect Island was all covered in Bonethorn Bloodmoths . It was like they had been waiting for this moment, and the people fleeing were met with a torrent of bone thorns .
“AHH!!” Miserable screams rang out . Those who were at the front were directly killed, while those further back had a chance to fall back .
As for Long Chen and Huang Junmo, their fight immediately provoked the huge army of Bonethorn Bloodmoths . They surged over at them . That was a true endless sea of insects .
Everyone felt despair . This was a fatal trap, and there was no chance for them to flee . Thinking of the mountain of skeletons, they were filled with terror .
Long Chen ignored the chaos . He also ignored the sea of insects . This kind of Magical Beast posed no threat to him .
After exchanging a single blow with Huang Junmo, Long Chen understood a certain principle: amongst rank three Celestials, there was an immense power difference . Huang Junmo was much stronger than ordinary rank three Celestials .
He was clearly weaker than Long Chen in terms of power, but his sword released strange fluctuations that blocked a portion of his power . That made it seem like they were evenly matched .
“Not bad . But killing power doesn’t rely on brute force . I’ll let you see an assassin’s true speed . ”
Huang Junmo suddenly became like a phantom . He was clearly in front of Long Chen, but he suddenly appeared behind him, his sword stabbing toward his throat .
This speed seemed to have broken spatial resistance, and it was impossible to keep up with him with the naked eye . The instant he moved, Long Chen felt like his sword had already reached his neck . This speed was inconceivable .
It was no wonder Huang Junmo was so arrogant . With this kind of speed, even if he wanted to assassinate someone from the front, there would only be a few people that could dodge . By the time other experts noticed him, his blade would have pierced through their bodies .
Even when killing someone openly, others wouldn’t have the qualifications to resist him . So it was natural that Huang Junmo had gotten bored of killing people from behind . Perhaps in the same realm, there was no one who could block this speed of his . That was why he had started to disdain sneak attacks .
He was like a ghost . Long Chen had never seen such speed . He also realized why assassins liked such thin swords . The spatial resistance was reduced to the greatest possible extent, and his attacks came silently without any warning .
Long Chen’s saber was too long, and competing with technique against him would put him at a disadvantage . Seeing Huang Junmo’s attack coming, his saber suddenly slashed toward Huang Junmo’s waist .
This was Long Chen’s most shameless, most rascally, yet also most effective technique: a suicidal technique to bring down his opponent with him . Because in terms of speed, Long Chen definitely couldn’t match an assassin . That would be competing against his opponent’s strongest point, and doing so would be too stupid .
“Don’t use the same technique in front of me, Huang Junmo, twice,” sneered Huang Junmo . His body twisted strangely like he was made of smoke . But his sword continued to stab toward Long Chen’s throat .
Long Chen also sneered . “I, Long Chen, also dislike using the same move twice . ”
Seeing that sneer, Huang Junmo’s expression suddenly changed . From Long Chen’s originally empty hand, a lightning spear condensed and stabbed toward his body .
BOOM!
His sword didn’t end up reaching Long Chen . But the spear ended up touching Huang Junmo’s chest .
It was unknown what was on Huang Junmo’s body, but whatever it was, it had broken Long Chen’s lightning spear . His lightning runes scattered into the air .
Long Chen smiled . He hadn’t been hoping for this attack to kill Huang Junmo . His saber was already pointed toward the sky, and the energy he had been storing up erupted . This was his true killing blow .
“Split the Heavens 2!”
