Chapter 1656: Life-Devouring Silverfish

“Lei Long, don’t make a fuss.” Long Chen pulled off Lei Long, not letting it mess around.

He knew that Lei Long was angry that he had unleashed the divine lightning in its stomach to send the Seven String Sea Suppressing Zither flying and defeat Shen Bijun.

Long Chen might be refreshed at unleas.h.i.+ng that trump card, but Lei Long was very dissatisfied. That divine light was his food. Recently, it had become capable of directly absorbing that energy and had been growing stronger day by day.

Long Chen had used its food to attack. That aggrieved Lei Long, so it wrapped around Long Chen to express its anger.

“Alright, alright. I just used a third of it, so you still have plenty of food! I guarantee I won’t touch the rest of it!” promised Long Chen.

Only then did Lei Long stop fussing and return to Long Chen’s body.

Long Chen’s Yuan Spirit returned to his main body. However, he didn’t merge back with it but instead charged into Di Xin’s heavy water domain and launched a punch at him.

Di Xin stabbed his water-thorn onto Long Chen’s fist only to get knocked back, shocked.

“How can your Yuan Spirit be so powerful?!” roared Di Xin furiously as he coughed up a mouthful of blood. There were cases of Spirit Transformation experts sending out their Yuan Spirit to fight, but he had never heard of someone’s Yuan Spirit being able to fight against a divine item barehanded.

Normally, Yuan Spirits were only able to a.s.sist the main body and form some hand seals for magical arts.

In truth, the Yuan Spirit was a final trump card, usually only used when the physical body was destroyed. Even if a Yuan Spirit was extremely powerful, it was also a fatal weakness.

Normally, if a Yuan Spirit were to launch an attack, it would be very vulnerable to a divine item or a magical art specialized against spiritual bodies. However, Long Chen’s Yuan Spirit could actually fight barehanded against his divine item. Di Xin felt like he was going crazy.

The most terrifying thing was that when Long Chen was splitting his attention to control his Yuan Spirit and main body to fight, his Yuan Spirit’s aura was even the stronger of the two. Di Xin had never fought such an opponent.

“Don’t ask stupid questions. Shen Bijun was a fool who simply thought herself smart. The first time she tried to kill me was in the Skywood Divine Palace. She drew me into a mental realm. I intentionally held back and had Cloud’s Yuan Spirit enter with me to attack her. The information she gave you about me didn’t say anything about my Yuan Spirit, did it? That’s because she thought my Yuan Spirit wasn’t anything special and was nothing to be worried about. In truth, I had already started laying the trap down at that time, acting like I couldn’t do anything myself when drawn into the Seven String Sea Suppressing Zither’s mental domain. In truth, I was just waiting for her to draw me into that realm again so I could kill her in one blow when she was overconfident. Unfortunately, things didn’t go my way. I waited a long time, but she never drew me in. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have had to go through so much trouble and borrow Chu Yao’s energy to exhaust Shen Bijun’s Spiritual Strength and her Yuan Spirit so that she wouldn’t have the energy to run. I ended up plotting so much for nothing and even had to use the divine lightning I worked so hard to get.”

Long Chen shook his head. This was the most depressing thing to him. He had intentionally left himself open several times in hopes of Shen Bijun sneak attacking him that way. With her previous experience, she would definitely be overconfident in her mental realm. Long Chen thought he had a high chance of killing her in one shot in there. Regretfully, that plan didn’t work out, and he had been forced to use up a portion of his divine lightning, making Lei Long grumble.

Long Chen truly detested Shen Bijun. However, he was also afraid of this crazy woman who would use any means necessary to kill him. She was like a wild dog, impossible to defend against. Being targeted by such a woman had made it so he couldn’t rest easy, which was why he had chosen to kill her first.

The Pill Fairy stood on top of the Daynight Furnace in the distance, listening to Long Chen talk. A strange feeling rose in her heart. Long Chen wasn’t as impetuous as he appeared. His plotting was also frighteningly deep.

Shen Bijun had schemed so deeply, setting up multiple plans with multiple layers but had still died to Long Chen’s scheming. That gave her a chill.
