Chapter 1209 (2/2)

With his Pill Sovereign memories, when it came to controlling flames, Long Chen could be rated as unrivaled beneath the heavens . Furthermore, Huo Long could cooperate perfectly with him .

As Long Chen stealthily extracted Dan Chu’s spiritual yuan, Huo Long also devoured the energy of this flame . Using a special technique, Long Chen put on the illusion that he was getting exhausted, but was actually absorbing all of Dan Chu’s spiritual yuan to make up for his exhausted spiritual yuan .

Seeing Long Chen seem to be considering his promise, Dan Chu became even more confident . For him, the worst case had been Long Chen going crazy . But now this method of slowly boiling the frog was being very effective .

The two of them didn’t speak for a while . Dan Chu’s expression was calm, while Long Chen’s was a bit nervous . Sweat began to drip from his head .

An hour later, Long Chen’s body was starting to quiver . After two hours, the quivering became more intense .

Life was like a play that required acting skills . Long Chen was now ashen, covered in sweat . But his gaze was complicated, as if he was caught between two difficult options . It was like he was trying to decide the hardest thing in his life .

Dan Chu was starting to smile . He continued to use his spiritual yuan to control his flames and surround Long Chen . From the start, he had been maintaining the same output . He could sense that victory was in sight .

These two hours had been extremely important . It was like refining pills . He couldn’t be impatient and had to be calm and steady . As an alchemist, Dan Chu was deeply aware of this principle .

Two hours .

Four hours .

Six hours .

When the sixth hour pa.s.sed, Dan Chu finally felt that something was wrong . He was shocked to find that he had unconsciously used up thirty percent of his spiritual yuan, while Long Chen still looked like he was on the verge of breaking . His sense of alarm finally rang .

“b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you dare to con me?!”

Dan Chu tested his suspicions by gradually increasing his output . Finding that Long Chen didn’t react much, he knew he had been duped .

The flames that filled the world suddenly shot at Long Chen . Flame chains tried to bind him .

“Haha, it’s too late,” laughed Long Chen . His spiritual yuan had recovered by twenty percent, filling him with confidence . A huge flame dragon appeared . It was Huo Long .

But Huo Long was different from before . Its original blood color had now turned violet . It was emitting greater power than ever before .

Because of Dan Chu’s overconfidence and his greed for Long Chen’s treasures and secrets, he hadn’t noticed his own spiritual yuan or flame energy had dropped a great deal . Now that he sensed it, he realized Long Chen’s flame dragon had already grown much stronger .

Furthermore, it was releasing violet flames . It opened its mouth and actually devoured the flame chains coming toward it .

“b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you d.a.m.n b.a.s.t.a.r.d!” Dan Chu’s expression changed . He sensed his Earth Flame energy being devoured by Huo Long in that instant .

Forming hand seals, a huge violet sword appeared behind Dan Chu . Heaven and earth shook as a terrifying pressure crashed down .

This was a terrifying attack . If it struck Huo Long, it would very likely collapse and have its core injured .

Although Huo Long had devoured quite a bit of the Soul Devouring Violet Flame, the power difference between them had been too great . Right now, it would be not bad for Huo Long’s power to be able to enter the top fifty of the Earth Flame Rankings . If it was struck, the consequences would be terrible .

Pow!

Just as Dan Chu was forming hand seals and about to unleash this terrifying attack, the boots on Long Chen’s feet lit up, and with a single step, he appeared in front of Dan Chu, slapping him across the face .

Dan Chu didn’t notice any danger . He merely sensed his vision darken for an instant before he felt his face become numb and he was sent flying .

Originally, Long Chen had thought that perhaps this blow would be able to kill Dan Chu . Although he hadn’t had any killing intent behind it or stored up any power, considering his current strength, a physically weak alchemist should still not be able to bear it .

But just as his palm had been about to land on Dan Chu’s face, countless flame runes had appeared around it, blocking ninety percent of his force .

However, it didn’t stop his palm from sending Dan Chu flying . The forming of his sword was interrupted and it collapsed .

Huo Long had already flown out . The huge sword collapsed into flame runes once it was interrupted by Long Chen, and Huo Long devoured them all .

Dan Chu was shocked and infuriated at being slapped . Just now, he had felt Long Chen’s slap to be far too strange . There hadn’t been the slightest omen before he had been struck . If it hadn’t been for his Pill Flame automatically protecting him, his head would have exploded .

Just at this moment, a blood-colored saber-image soared into the clouds, cutting through heaven and earth . Bringing with it an air of death, it slashed toward Dan Chu .
