Chapter 1552: Long Chen Arrives

Following Jin Mingwei, all the other Corrupt experts stood and began walking over to the Dragonblood Legion.

None of the other experts moved, only the Corrupt path did. Sha Guangyan’s side had seventeen Empyreans, and that number did not include their four strongest members, Hu Xiaolin, Yan Weishan, Jin Mingwei, and Bloodkill 1. It could be said that their current power was enough to dominate the Eastern Xuan Region. Even if the Zither Fairy stood on Long Chen’s side, so what? She wouldn’t be able to change anything.

Either Long Chen didn’t come, or he did, and if he did, there was zero chance he could leave alive. With the Dragonblood Legion having come, all they had to do was capture the Dragonblood warriors. Even if Long Chen didn’t come today, if they caught his fatal weak point, there was no way he would be able to make as many waves as before. The only thing awaiting him would be death.

Jin Mingwei led his Corrupt experts to the Dragonblood Legion. As he pa.s.sed Chu Yao’s battlefield, he sneered at Peng Wansheng’s group of three who were caught by the endless wooden stakes.

Jin Mingwei swung his gourd up to drink another mouthful, but he realized it was empty. After putting it away, he suddenly took a step into the region of the wooden stakes.

With that single step, the ground exploded and blood runes spread, infecting the wooden stakes on the ground.

The wooden stakes rapidly corroded as soon as they were touched by the blood runes. In the end, they turned into blood-colored dust.

“That’s… that’s too terrifying!”

Jin Mingwei had annihilated a whole region of wooden stakes with just a step. On the other hand, Peng Wansheng’s group of three were forced into a miserable state. That comparison showed just how terrifying Jin Mingwei was.

Just like that, Jin Mingwei led his people through the domain of Chu Yao’s wooden stakes. Anywhere he went, the wooden stakes corroded.

“He’s a terrifying opponent. Everyone prepare yourself.” Yue Zifeng slowly stood, having a grave expression on his face. This Jin Mingwei was incredibly powerful.

Gu Yang, Li Qi, Song Mingyuan, and the rest of the Dragonblood warriors also stood, their weapons in hand. Even in the face of such a terrifying expert, they were still filled with battle intent.

The experts who had walked to Long Chen’s side due to a moment of hotbloodedness were now conflicted. They might acknowledge Long Chen’s power and character, but this terrifying Jin Mingwei completely intimidated them, turning them into cowardly mice.

They were in a place far behind the Dragonblood Legion, and they saw that each of the Dragonblood warriors was facing Jin Mingwei’s pressure without the slightest fear. What made them ashamed was that even those on the same cultivation level as them still had calm eyes.

Just as Jin Mingwei was arrogantly pa.s.sing through the domain of wooden stakes, the sky rumbled. A willow branch pierced out of the void.

The willow branch came out of nowhere, and it arrived in front of Jin Mingwei in an instant. It looked to be an ordinary branch with weak willow leaves, but it gave Jin Mingwei a chill.

Without even thinking about it, Jin Mingwei smashed his fist out. Blood runes revolved around his fist, causing the void to shake. This also showed Jin Mingwei’s power. Even a hasty attack possessed such power.

BOOM! However, this seemingly weak willow branch knocked Ji Mingwei dozens of meters back.

The sky turned dark and a huge willow appeared, its crown covering the sky. Countless branches fell from it, wrapping around Jin Mingwei and the others.

“What is that?!” When that huge willow appeared, everyone, including Yan Weishan, Hu Xiaolin, and the others, were shocked.

The willow branches were too numerous. Although Jin Mingwei managed to break the ones attacking him with a punch, the Corrupt experts behind him were torn apart one by one.

“Break!” Jin Mingwei roared furiously, and the blood runes around his body lit up. Blades began to fly out of him, slicing through the branches. Protecting the surviving Corrupt experts, he fled from the attack range of the willow. However, by this time, only eight of them were left. The rest had been killed.

“Peng Wansheng, watch out!” shouted Hu Xiaolin. Just at this moment, the willow branches stretched toward the area covered in wooden stakes.

Like sharp spears, they pierced through the openings of the wooden stakes. The two Empyreans were instantly pierced. Peng Wansheng roared, and golden runes flowed around his body. Golden blood flowed out of his forehead.

His halberd suddenly exploded with divine power, unleas.h.i.+ng a ray of light that tore through everything in its way. Peng Wansheng had clearly activated the power of his divine item.

The wooden stakes and willow branches were both blown apart. The two Empyreans that had been pierced by the branches also had their lives saved. The three of them hastily fled, rejoining Yan Weishan and Hu Xiaolin.

It had only been a breath’s time since the willow had appeared, but dozens of experts had been slain. If Peng Wansheng hadn’t sacrificed his essence blood to activate his divine item, those two Empyreans would have died as well. For a moment, everyone was deathly silent as they stared at the huge willow.

This willow was the Undying Willow that had once forced Long Chen to desperate straits. Now it was on the side of the Dragonblood Legion, and its huge crown covered the entire Dragonblood Legion.

“So this is your trump card. Everyone, don’t hesitate. Whether or not Long Chen is coming, let’s capture them first!” shouted Yan Weishan. He was the first to fly out, flames revolving around him. A flame blade slashed toward the Undying Willow.
