Chapter 1369 (1/2)

Chapter 1369: 1369

The golden phoenix was tightly bound in blood-colored chains . They were the Spirit Blood seals that Qu Dajiang, Jiang Zijun, Dan Yanxue, and Kan Dongze had summoned .

After several days of work, the four of them had finally exhausted the golden phoenix . The most important factor was that Earth Flame Spirit Beasts were too dumb . Despite clearly having weakened, it didn’t flee and continued to fight . As a result, it had allowed itself to be captured .

Their Spiritual Strength was currently erasing the final bit of energy the golden phoenix had .

Eventually, the chains suddenly tightened . The seal was complete .

“Hahaha, success!”

The four of them were all ecstatic to have sealed the golden phoenix without any mishaps .

“Everyone, you’ve worked hard . Let me express my sincere grat.i.tude for your outstanding contribution . Since we’re all friends, I’ll kindly accept it!”

A figure suddenly appeared beside the golden phoenix and put it away . He had a grateful expression and cupped his fists in thanks toward the four of them .

“Long San?!”

Their expressions all changed . They had already told all their subordinates not to come here no matter what happened .

That was because the four of them didn’t want Pill Valley to learn about the matter of the Heaven Incinerating Flame . According to Pill Valley’s rules, any disciple who obtained a top ten Earth Flame would have to offer it to Pill Valley, and Pill Valley would give them a corresponding reward .

Earth Flames below the top ten would belong to the disciples, but the top ten Earth Flames were too powerful . Even Pill Valley cared about them . As for the Heaven Incinerating Flame, it was ranked third . If they gave it to Pill Valley, there was no chance of them getting something as good .

Even if the Pill Valley gave them treasures, there was no way they could match the value of the Heaven Incinerating Flame . So the four of them had intended to keep this matter secret . After all, everyone was selfish .

That was why no one had appeared in this region despite them fighting for so long . The four of them were sure no one would be so brazen as to come here and s.n.a.t.c.h the Earth Flame from them, so they hadn’t made any preparations .

“Courting death!” Seeing Long Chen put the golden phoenix away, the four of them were enraged . Qu Dajiang was the first to attack . Flames erupted from him as he attacked Long Chen . He unleashed a punch that was clearly intent on killing him .

“I’ve been courting death for a long time . But can you actually help me court death?”

Long Chen smiled coldly . He didn’t unleash his aura . He just sent out a single punch .

Flames erupted . Qu Dajiang’s arm broke in several places and he was blown back .

“Do you think you could suppress me like when I was still in the Foundation Forging realm?” Long Chen sneered . His gaze was like two sharp blades sweeping over the four of them . He was no longer his old self and was filled with explosive power . Just now, his punch had been nothing more than a test .

“You . . . you advanced to the Jade Core realm?”

The four of their expressions changed . Dan Yanxue and Kan Dongze’s expressions were especially ugly .

“Do you regret abandoning me so easily? Did you feel like I wouldn’t have much value as a chess piece? Perhaps if you had used me better, I could have even helped you get rid of Jiang Zijun . Is that what you’re thinking?” said Long Chen indifferently as he looked at Dan Yanxue and Kan Dongze . He naturally knew what they were thinking .

“Nonsense! Long San, you’ve already become bedeviled . Our subordinates were simply ordered to capture you, not kill you . Put down your butcher’s blade and come peacefully . That’s your only option to live . As long as you don’t resist, there’ll still be room for negotiating . Although you killed many people, Pill Valley won’t kill someone as talented as you . Don’t misunderstand,” explained Kan Dongze .

“Hahaha…” Long Chen couldn’t help but laugh . Even at this time, he was able to say such lies that not even a child would believe . They were really insulting his intelligence .

Long Chen couldn’t be bothered to expose him . The main thing was that he didn’t want to waste words . There was no need for such a thing now .

“Attack together! Kill him!” Jiang Zijun roared furiously . Heavenly Dao energy circulated, and a flame spear condensed in his hand . He shot at Long Chen .

Although they had all exhausted a great deal of soul energy and spiritual yuan to seal the golden phoenix, the truth was that most of the effort had come from Qu Dajiang .

After the first day, they had found their rhythm and learned to cooperate . Their rate of exhaustion had fallen, while the golden phoenix had weakened . By the end, their spiritual yuan had mostly recovered .

“Watch out!” Seeing Jiang Zijun charge forward on his own, Qu Dajiang let out a startled cry . Of the four of them, he was the strongest . Only he knew just how terrifying the current Long Chen was . He immediately shot after Long Chen as well .

BANG! Jiang Zijun’s spear was blown apart by Long Chen . In front of Long Chen, that flame spear was as weak as a child’s plaything .
