Chapter 788: 788

Long before Xue You had killed the spider king, Long Chen had made his preparations . He had stealthily crept below the spider’s fangs . His guess was that Xue You would first go to extract the crystal core .

A peak seventh rank Magical Beast’s corpse wasn’t something that just any spatial ring could store . That was especially true with the scales on its back . Those had runes on them that made them natural soul items . They would need spatial rings at least on the soul item level to store them .

But those kinds of spatial rings were exceedingly rare . Soul items were usually only used by soul cultivators, and soul cultivators had their own spiritual s.p.a.ces for those items . Then they could directly bring them out in battle, and when not in battle, they could nourish them with their souls .

As expected, Long Chen’s guess was right . Xue You went directly to the spider king’s head . Long Chen hid his aura as much as possible and stealthily attacked Xue You from behind .

In order to conceal his killing intent, Long Chen had self-hypnotized himself, making him think that he wasn’t killing someone, but simply stabbing the air . This was Long Chen’s first time being an amateur a.s.sa.s.sin .

Everything had gone so perfectly . But when the tip of his blade was three inches from Xue You’s back, he failed . Xue You had sensed him .

In that instant when Xue You sensed him, Long Chen didn’t hesitate . His blade was like lightning, piercing into his body . When it stabbed into his chest, he didn’t hold back his power . His energy erupted .

Blood splashed . But what startled Long Chen was that despite him clearly stabbing Xue You, when his blade pierced the body, Xue You’s body had strangely switched with one of the other Corrupt disciples .

The person Long Chen killed in the end was just a rank two Celestial, and the true Xue You had appeared where he had been . He glared at Long Chen with fury and shock .

“Long Chen, you’re not dead!?”

His response was a saber that was still covered in blood . The other Corrupt disciple hastily attacked Long Chen . He knew that Xue You was in an extremely weak state, and he needed to protect him .

Long Chen’s saber instantly exploded upon colliding with the Corrupt expert’s weapon .

That saber had just been an ordinary weapon . Enchanted items innately possessed their own murderous aura . He didn’t know how to reserve that aura like the Bloodkill Hall’s a.s.sa.s.sins . If he had used such a weapon against someone like Xue You, he would have been sensed immediately .

But in the end, he had still failed . Furthermore, this failure still confused him . He still didn’t know how Xue You had done this .

An ordinary weapon would naturally explode upon colliding with an Enchanted item . The Corrupt expert was startled . He hadn’t expected that Long Chen’s weapon would be this useless . His follow-up moves immediately became useless .

Long Chen had long since expected this result . A lightning spear appeared in his left hand and stabbed toward his enemy’s chest .

When it came to combat experience, even the fierce Corrupt path’s experts couldn’t compare to Long Chen . His speed in adapting and changing moves had reached a supreme level .

Thunder rumbled . Originally, he had thought that his attack would be able to kill his opponent . But the result was different from what he had expected . It only left a large hole in his opponent .

Only then did Long Chen recall that Lei Long and Huo Long had used up all their energy in the cave previously . They had less than a tenth of their power, and the curse on him still hadn’t faded . This attack hadn’t killed his opponent .

Suddenly, Little Snow appeared behind him . A sphere of wind blades smashed into the opening on the Corrupt expert’s chest .

That Corrupt expert didn’t have the slightest ability to resist . He died .

The current Little Snow didn’t have the ability to kill ordinary Celestials, let alone rank two Celestials . But the opportunity had been set up perfectly by Long Chen .

From the explosion of his weapon to switching to a lightning spear to Little Snow’s attack, everything had happened without the slightest hesitation . Long Chen didn’t even need to make a strategy . Everything he had done had happened so instinctively .

The Corrupt expert was blown into a blood mist . In his weakest state, he couldn’t possibly endure Little Snow’s attack .

Long Chen turned to Xue You and indifferently said, “I’m under a curse, and your power has also dropped . Now we can have a fair battle . ”

After saying that, Long Chen put Little Snow back into his spiritual s.p.a.ce . His opponent was Xue You . Who knew what techniques he still had up his sleeve? He didn’t want Little Snow to be in danger .

A spear appeared in Long Chen’s hand . It was what he had used against that pack of Hidden Ground Gold Spiders . Its weight was not bad . Without a better weapon, this was the best option .

BOOM!

Xue You suddenly took out a pitch-black sword . Long Chen’s spear collided with his sword, causing a powerful explosive sound . Both of them were forced back a dozen steps .
