Chapter 824 (1/2)

Chapter 824: 824

There were over ten experts fighting against an armored lizard . That armored lizard was a mile long and covered in powerful scales .

Its huge tail was like a whip that crumbled mountains when it struck . It was actually extremely amazing, and it was forcing those ten-plus experts to miserably retreat .

The intense battle had already changed the terrain in the mountain range . Those people were all experts amongst experts . All of them were at least rank two Celestials, and there were even three rank three Celestials .

Amongst them was Long Chen’s old friend, Xue You . Xue You was surrounded by three different runes that released a torrential aura .

On his own, Xue You was blocking the majority of the armored lizard’s attacks . The other two rank three Celestials were in charge of restricting it at the sides, while the rank two Celestials could only occasionally launch attacks when they had an opening . But their attacks were clearly unable to cause much damage to the armored lizard .

“What? Do you recognize them?” asked the Eastern Wasteland Bell .

“They’re my mortal enemies . ” Long Chen nodded . He rapidly thought up a plan . “Senior, are you capable of concealing my aura?”

“Something as minor as that is simple . But are you planning on sneak attacking him once I conceal your aura? Let me warn you, that long-haired fellow is not so simple . He’s an innate rank three Celestial, and he’s already begun condensing his fourth Heavenly Dao rune . His odds of one day becoming a rank four Celestial are practically one hundred percent . Your chances of successfully sneak attacking him are very low . It’s too risky,” warned the Eastern Wasteland Bell .

Long Chen smiled . “That’s fine . It’s not my first time coming into contact with him . That last battle was truly sullen . But this time, I’ll have a proper battle with him . Last time, he acted like such a poser . Now it’s time for me to get my revenge . ”

Thinking of how Xue You had acted as if he was a supreme overlord, as if he could crush him with a wave of his hand, Long Chen was extremely irritated .

He had his own pride . Such humiliation and contempt were something that infuriated Long Chen, but back then, he hadn’t had the qualifications to be infuriated . However, today would be different .

“So are you planning on sneak attacking him?” asked the Eastern Wasteland Bell .

“No, he doesn’t have the qualifications to make me sneak attack him . I want to kill him with my true strength . Furthermore, I’m not very good at a.s.sa.s.sinations . As soon as I attack, I won’t be able to conceal my killing intent, and I’ll be sensed . Failing an a.s.sa.s.sination attempt is too embarra.s.sing, so I’d prefer to fight him head-on . I’ll have more confidence that way . ”

“Then why have me conceal your aura?”

“I have something more important that I want to do . At that time, you just have to work together with me . ” Long Chen laughed mischievously, a crafty light s.h.i.+ning in his eyes .

BOOM!

Xue You’s black sword slashed onto the armored lizard’s head . That immense force sent its head slamming into the ground, causing the ground to sink once more .

“Careful!” Xue You suddenly shouted . With its head smashed into the ground, the armored lizard’s huge tail wildly swung without any pattern . As a result, one rank two Celestial didn’t dodge in time and was struck by the tail . A terrifying force directly blew him into a b.l.o.o.d.y mist .

Long Chen couldn’t help being startled . Just what level was this armored lizard? It seemed it wasn’t lacking compared to Meng Qi’s Redeye Sacred Blood Phoenix .

What he didn’t know was that this armored lizard was actually a mutated Magical Beast . Its original bloodline was substandard, but after mutating, its combat power had become terrifying . It could be ranked as an overlord amongst rank seven Magical Beasts .

With its mutated runes on its scales, even Xue You’s sword was unable to break through its defenses, and Xue You’s sword was a Treasure item .

It was precisely because it was so powerful that Xue You had been delighted to find it . He had been willing to spend a great deal of time baiting it out of its lair so he could capture it as his housepet .

In truth, while the armored lizard was powerful, it had one fatal weak point . There was a white scale between its eyes . That scale was similar to a dragon’s reverse scale .

That scale was its only weak point . If they concentrated their attacks on it, then killing it wouldn’t be very difficult .

After all, it was a Magical Beast with an impure bloodline . Even if it had mutated . It hadn’t been able to completely erase its innate weak point . But that wasn’t something bad to Xue You . When he fought against others, he would stand at that scale to protect it . Then there would be no weak points .

With the two of them combined, they would be like tigers with wings . Their power would reach a whole new level .

So Xue You intentionally avoided that fatal spot . He wanted to use power to subdue it and then place a slave mark .

If he used a curse to weaken it, then even once he forcibly placed the slave mark, it wouldn’t be convinced of his power . Then it would continuously try to fight back . If he had to stop it from fighting him during a battle, capturing it would have no meaning .
