Chapter 782: 782

Following Long Chen’s shout, Lei Long and Huo Long flew out . They rapidly grew larger as they intertwined, looking like two dragons piercing out of the ground and the heavens .

This action happened incredibly quickly . The corpse-like man had been extremely confident in his Ghost Devours Spirit curse, and he had thought that Long Chen would be powerless to retaliate . But his confidence had become the death of him .

The two dragons directly caused his body to explode . And they continued forward, directly roaring toward the remaining five .

Lei Long and Huo Long were too large, and they almost filled the entire cave . The five of them had no chance to flee, and they could only resist with their full strength .

BOOM!

The five of them instantly exploded . Even the incomparably st.u.r.dy cave was blown wider .

The corpse-like man only had a head remaining . Suddenly, two runic wings appeared on that head’s back, and like a b.u.t.terfly, it began to fly away .

Long Chen’s saber sliced that head cleanly in two . But then an illusory figure shot out . That was the corpse-like man’s soul .

If he could bring his head away, he would be able to survive . He had heard that as long as rank three Celestials were given enough time, they could regenerate a full body from just a head .

But now the head had been destroyed . The corpse-like man could only flee with his soul . His soul would at most be able to survive for twenty-four hours in the outside world before dissipating .

So within the next twenty-four hours, he would have to find a suitable body to possess .

“Stay behind . ” Long Chen snorted and waved his hand . A lightning arrow shot at the soul .

The corpse-like man’s soul suddenly shouted, “Lord Xue You, save-”

Regretfully, before he could finish shouting, the lightning arrow pierced through his soul . Lightning was the bane of all souls . His soul instantly exploded into runes .

Those runes had only just appeared before they dispersed, being absorbed into the primal chaos s.p.a.ce . Long Chen was delighted . He had gained yet another rank three Heavenly Dao Fruit .

Suddenly, his heart shook . A sensation of terrifying danger caused his hair to stand on end . Without even thinking about it, he dodged to the side .

A ray of light pierced his shoulder, bringing with it a spray of blood . He slammed into the wall and hastily looked in the direction of the attack .

There were over ten people who had arrived, all of them from the Corrupt path . The person at the front was a handsome long-haired man . He wore a golden crown and violet robes . His gaze was like two sharp blades stabbing into Long Chen .

The most terrifying thing about him was his pitch-black third eye on his forehead . It looked as if it could devour all of heaven and earth .

“Truly worthy of being Long Chen, ranked number one on the must-kill list . Even under the Ghost Devours Spirit curse, you were still able to kill Qi Luo . Long Chen, although we’re enemies, I really have to admire you,” said that man .

They had just entered from the entrance and so had blocked the only exit for Long Chen . The people standing beside him looked in shock at the broken weapons and bodies on the ground .

Although they hadn’t seen the battle, just the remnants and the leftover Heavenly Dao auras in the air were enough for them to tell the scope of the previous battle .

“You are Xue You?” Long Chen slowly stood up . In truth, he was extremely alarmed .

Just now, he had checked what had injured him . It had just been the wind from a pointing of Xue You’s finger . It was an incredibly ordinary attack but was able to pierce his body .

Although he was weakened and couldn’t use the divine ring or Four Star Battle Armor any longer, his physical body was still comparable to Enchanted items . But the wind from a finger attack could injure him . That was enough to prove that Xue You’s power was much greater than he had expected .

“Correct, I am Xue You . I’ve long since heard your great name . But regretfully, you’re currently under the Ghost Devours Spirit curse and are in an extremely weak state . You don’t even have half of your power available to you . Killing you is too boring!” said Xue You .

“If you want a fair fight, you can just give me the antidote,” said Long Chen .

Xue You shook his head . “Firstly, the Ghost Devours Spirit is not a poison, but a curse . There is no antidote . If you want to resolve it, you simply need to wait for its effect to pa.s.s . But although this curse won’t take a person’s life, it has a long period of effect . It would take at least seven days, and I can’t wait that long .

“And secondly, although you’re strong, you haven’t reached the point where you can stand on the same level as me . Even if you were in your peak state, you wouldn’t be able to receive even ten attacks from me . It’s not worth it for me to wait .

“So, I’m very sorry to tell you that you’re just a dog in my eyes, and you don’t have much value at all . Only the fact that you’re first on the must-kill list makes you worthy of me killing you . ”

Xue You stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his expression indifferent, and his tone incredibly arrogant . It was like he was a king looking down on a beggar .

Although his words were a bit malicious, Long Chen didn’t get angry . That was because he didn’t have time to get angry . This Ghost Devours Spirit curse was too vicious . It was like poison had spread throughout his blood, bones, and basically every single cell in his body .
