Chapter 1443: Sharpness Blossoms

That figure appeared so suddenly that no one could react. His sword was already slas.h.i.+ng at Guo Ran’s neck.

It was coming from a dead angle, and even if Guo Ran wasn’t busy shooting out cannonb.a.l.l.s with his large and clumsy canon, he wouldn’t be able to dodge.

The Dragonblood warriors let out startled cries, but that person was so fast, there was nothing they could do.

The sword landed right on Guo Ran’s neck. But the devastating sight of his head flying didn’t appear. Instead, sparks flew, and people realized that Guo Ran’s neck had suddenly become covered in golden armor.

Guo Ran’s neck was fine, while that person’s sword bounced off.

“Idiot, did you think you could sneak attack your daddy? It seems you’ve never died before!” Guo Ran laughed. Without even turning back, the canon on his shoulder suddenly opened on the other side, and a golden flower blossomed. A red light shot out of the center of the flower at his sneak attacker.

The sneak attacker hadn’t summoned his manifestation in order to sneak up on Guo Ran. To be fair, no one had thought Guo Ran’s canon would be able to fire backward as well. A shameless design like this was probably something only Guo Ran could think of.

The canon’s power was immense, but if a sudden sneak attack was launched from behind him, it would be hard for Guo Ran to face his attacker. So he had come up with this sinister trick.

The sneak attacker’s hair stood on end when that red light appeared. He hastily brandished his sword, about to summon his manifestation.

However, just as he was about to summon his manifestation, his whole body trembled, and an expression of absolute terror appeared on his face. He stiffened.

BOOM!

The red light pierced through his body, and he blew up like a watermelon, filling the air with his blood.

“He killed a rank nine Celestial in one blow?!”

“Impossible!”

The ancient races, Corrupt path, and ancient family alliance’s experts were all stunned. That was a rank nine Celestial! He had been killed in one blow?!

Seeing Guo Ran actually kill a rank nine Celestial in one blow, Long Chen couldn’t help but feel a bit angry inside. His power was clearly enough to suppress rank nine Celestials, but killing them was always extremely difficult. The slightest carelessness and they would get away.

As for Guo Ran’s little trick, he had been secretly helped by Meng Qi. That rank nine Celestial had been killed before understanding what was going on. It had been too simple.

“Hahaha! A pitiful rank nine Celestial dares to embarra.s.s himself in front of me?! Your daddy Guo Ran swept through this world, looking down on heaven and earth! You little pieces of c.r.a.p are only fit to crawl before me!” Guo Ran laughed excitedly, feeling incredibly satisfied.

Long Chen glanced at Meng Qi and saw her smiling. She didn’t say anything, and no one else was capable of sensing what she had done.

He knew that Meng Qi was an extremely powerful existence now. After he had given the Three-head Nine-Eye Illusion Spirit Beast’s skeleton to her, she had told him that she would give him a nice surprise.

Now he saw Meng Qi silently a.s.sist Guo Ran, without forming a hand seal or even moving, to kill a rank nine Celestial. It could be seen how terrifying Meng Qi was now. The Three-head Nine-eye Illusion Spirit Beast’s skeleton was clearly extremely beneficial to her.

However, Guo Ran’s follow-up bragging was a bit embarra.s.sing. His skin was too thick. Although it was true that he had killed a rank nine Celestial in one blow, if it hadn’t been for Meng Qi’s secret a.s.sistance, it was an unknown whether or not he could have even injured that dead Celestial.

Only Guo Ran, Meng Qi, and Long Chen knew about that. The others had no idea, and they all stared in shock at Guo Ran.

“Using my canon to kill you weaklings would be bullying. Today, I’ll let you see what a true unrivaled hero is! I won’t even use my canon, and I’ll still kill you like slaughtering chickens!” cackled Guo Ran as he put away his canon.

Long Chen naturally knew that this was an act. Having used up his cannonb.a.l.l.s, Guo Ran still didn’t forget to brag. But the opposition was still stunned by him and was unable to determine if his words were true or not.

Black specks of soil had covered this world. Under Tang Wan-er’s efforts, it was unknown just how many tree demons had been slain, transforming into specks of dust.

“It was even more effective than I expected.” Long Chen was delighted inside. The primal chaos s.p.a.ce’s black soil was too mysterious. This could count as divine power.

It was impossible to calculate how many tree demons had fallen to the black soil just now. But he guessed that at least half of the tree demons were now specks of dust on the battlefield.

“Spirit Emperor, have your people fall back further so they don’t touch the black soil. That thing doesn’t differentiate between friend or foe.” Long Chen transmitted his orders to the Spirit Emperor.
