Chapter 676 – Ancient Demon Blood Killing

“Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw, Nine Heavens Strike!”

The ground shook as Long Shan unleashed a roar, sounding like a furious dragon that shook the heavens and earth. He charged menacingly at the Ancient Demon Corpse, launching his most powerful attack!

Nine dragons shot out of his hand! Long Shan’s Nine Heavens Strike was much more powerful than Long Chen’s. The crowd sensed a huge pressure acting on them, and some even struggled to open their eyes!

Boom!

Nine dragons arrived right in front of the Ancient Demon Corpse!

“Do you think the Ancient Demon Corpse doesn’t know any combat techniques?” Zhao Danchen smirked. He then held the Ancient Demon Flag to his chest, and his essence flowed into it. A whirlpool formed and the blood-colored demonic runes on the flag lit up!

Blood-colored light spread from the Ancient Demon Flag to the Ancient Demon Corpse. Suddenly, the Ancient Demon Corpse let out a long roar at the heavens! Blood-red runes appeared on its body soon after!

“Ancient Demon Blood Killing!” Zhao Danchen uttered each word slowly.

In the face of the approaching Nine Heavens Strike, the Ancient Demon Corpse suddenly threw a furious punch. When it punched, the blood-red runes on its body rushed to gather on its fist, then they shot out along with the punch and merged form a blood-red projection of a demon’s head!

The nine dragons and the blood-red Ancient Demon Blood Killing collided violently. Dragon roars and demonic roars shook the whole Battle clan!

Boom!

The first wave of the Nine Heavens Strike, which was the first dragon, collided with the Ancient Demon Blood Killing!

There was a loud explosion, and the first wave of the Nine Heavens Strike was shattered to pieces. The forward-flying momentum of the Ancient Demon Blood Killing diminished slightly!

But something surprising happened!

Long Shan let out the laugh of a madman. After the first wave shattered, to everyone’s surprise, the Nine Heavens Strike deviated from its original path. Under Long Shan’s control, it flew towards Zhao Danchen!

This was the strongest attack of a Fourth Earthly Martial Stage cultivator, so how could it be simple?

The remaining eight dragons flew towards Zhao Danchen!

Long Shan had left the Ancient Demon Corpse far behind him!

At this critical moment, no one expected Long Shan to risk his life like that. His target was not the Ancient Demon Corpse, but Zhao Danchen!

The smug grinning Zhao Danchen was taken by surprise!

Long Shan had fought the Ancient Demon Corpse until now in order to attract everyone’s attention, so everyone would forget that he could attack Zhao Danchen too.

Although Zhao Danchen had used the Myriad Earth Essence to regrow the arm that Long Chen ripped off, he was only at the Third Earthly Martial Stage. How could he withstand the Fourth Earthly Martial Stage Long Shan’s full-power attack?

The Martial Saints and Martial Kings of the Martial Alliance were shocked. Zhao Wuji had just died. If Zhao Danchen also died, then the Martial Alliance would be done for.

On the Dragon clan’s side, everyone looked ecstatic. The oldest gingers were indeed the spiciest! Long Shan’s move indeed could resolve their current problem. As long as Long Shan succeeded, today’s matters would be resolved.

Ever since they offended Zhao Danchen in front of the Ancient Demon Domain, everyone knew that this dangerous situation would come eventually. Today was it.

The crazed Long Shan used up the last bit of essence in his body, bent on killing the young man!

He was confident he could!

He saw a clear flash of panic in Zhao Danchen’s eyes!

I must take this opportunity ...

If he could kill Zhao Danchen, Long Shan would die without regret.

Then the panic in Zhao Danchen’s eyes disappeared completely and was replaced with a cold smirk. He moved his lips gently to utter a few more words.

What he said was earth-shattering news to Long Shan.

He said, “You underestimated me, idiot!”

Thick, powerful essence erupted from Zhao Danchen’s body! The strength of his aura surpassed that of a Third Earthly Martial Stage cultivator! Golden energy covered his body, making him golden and sparkling all over like a god that had just descended from the heavens!

The Nine Heavens Strike arrived in front of Zhao Danchen!

Just when everyone thought he was going to die, Zhao Danchen erupted with power that he had never shown before. He held his two golden palms together and made a seal. Then a gigantic “martial(武)” character appeared in front of him. Under his control, the explosive energy shot right at Long Shan!

The Yellow Martial Seal was not much different from when the previous Martial Overlord used it!

The crowd cried out in surprise!

“He has reached the Fourth Earthly Martial Stage! Zhao Danchen now fully has the right to become the new Martial Overlord!”

“From today onwards, we will completely submit and bow at his feet!”

“He’s so young, yet he’s already at the Fourth Earthly Martial Stage! Zhao Danchen holds much more potential than Zhao Wuji! If this continues, the Divine Martial Empire can regain its former glory!”

With that thought, every Martial Alliance member grew emotional.

But this was an absolute nightmare to the Dragon clan.

They initially thought Long Shan could kill Zhao Danchen. But now Zhao Danchen’s strength surpassed Long Shan’s, so how could he kill Zhao Danchen?

Despair filled their hearts.

This was a tragedy for Long Shan. Despite his meticulous plan, he had not predicted that Zhao Danchen would have advanced to the Fourth Earthly Martial Stage. Long Shan had looked down on Zhao Danchen all this time because the latter was no match for Long Chen, who was a true prodigy in Long Shan’s eyes. However, it now looked like Zhao Danchen had managed to emerge from Zhao Wuji’s shadow and made a breakthrough, becoming one of the elites!

Both the Yellow Martial Seal and the Nine Heavens Strike were weakened from the collision. However, although Zhao Danchen had only released his technique at the very last second, it was enough to withstand Long Shan’s attack. The strength of the Yellow Martial Seal forced Long Shan back!

The Ancient Demon Corpse roared and returned to Zhao Danchen furiously!

The Nine Heavens Strike had exhausted the last of Long Shan’s essence. He could not squeeze his body anymore, or he would die instantly.

The momentum from the collision forced Long Shan back for a long distance before he finally stabilized. The collision had left his internal organs bleeding, and he could no longer control the trickle of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. He already looked old, but now he looked even older.

Zhao Danchen let out a maniacal laugh.

Everyone could see that Long Shan could not hold on any longer. Any random Martial Saint, let alone Zhao Danchen, could kill Long Shan now!

“I didn’t expect the great elder of the Long family to be so weak! How could the Long family be a match for the lineage of the Martial Overlord? From today onwards, as long as the Martial Overlord exists, the Long family will never have a chance to shine!” Zhao Danchen pointed at the Long family members mockingly.

As he looked down at them, even Long Yue had to admit that they were helpless in front of Zhao Danchen in his current state.

He was strong enough to suppress them completely!

Zhao Danchen was very smug when he saw the looks of despair on their faces. However, he still had one regret.

That loss he had suffered in front of the Ancient Demon Domain!

That was the only tragic loss he had experienced in his life! Although that loss had led to his current achievement, it did not mean that he had forgotten that humiliation!

If he did not take revenge, he would hold this grudge his whole life! While people worshiped how powerful he was, they would also think of this smudge in his life!

Now Zhao Danchen was far stronger!

He had the Martial Overlord Rings, the Martial Overlord Seal, and the Ancient Demon Corpse—each of those tools alone was enough to kill Long Chen instantly. But where was Long Chen?

His gaze swept across the whole crowd while the Ancient Demon Corpse rushed towards Long Shan to restrict him. As long as Zhao Danchen commanded, it would kill Long Shan immediately!

Long Shan felt helpless looking at the Ancient Demon Corpse. He had no more essence left in him and his blood vessels and internal organs were damaged. The fact that he could still hold on and remain standing showed how determined he was.

Everyone thought Zhao Danchen would kill Long Shan immediately!

Long Yue and the rest could not wait any longer. It was time for the final battle for their lives.

However, Zhao Danchen was not in a hurry to fight. He looked around and asked, “What? Is that coward Long Chen still not going to appear?!”

His furious roar shook the whole Battle clan!

Long Chen!

That was Zhao Danchen’s main objective for coming here.

He was also Feng Xuan’s main objective for showing up today. She had to find Long Chen and Huangfu Qi. Getting the Heavenly Wind Veins was the second most important thing she wanted to do in the Divine Martial Empire.

“Long Chen, if you do not come out, a river of blood will flow! Millions of corpses will pile up!” Zhao Danchen’s furious roar shook the whole Battle clan once more!

But silence was all that greeted him.
