Chapter 6400 Rhino Dragon Race
“Damn it! You idiots, you refuse to listen! You’re going to get everyone killed!” shouted the one-horned dragon expert.
He could sense Long Chen’s aura growing stronger and stronger, but everyone else didn’t notice a thing. Even his comrades from the same race couldn’t sense it.
After all, Long Chen’s aura control had reached a pinnacle, and the one-horned expert’s exceptional talent was the only reason he could sense it.
Unfortunately, no one listened to him.
In his fury, he swung his blade toward some of the weaker dragon experts who were attacking Long Chen, killing dozens of them at once.
“Xi Yuanqing, have you gone mad?! If you dare harm my people, I swear all the members of your race will pay with their lives!” roared a black dragon expert.
The dragon expert with a single horn was Xi Yuanqing. To give Long Chen no chance, he was willing to cull the weaker dragon experts. Yet, his decisive action only provoked fury. These dragon experts were here for profit, not loyalty.
While Xi Yuanqing could see Long Chen’s growing strength, the others only saw an opportunity to “exhaust” him further. Their plan was to let him bleed himself dry. Once Long Chen was out of energy, they could capture him alive, which was far more lucrative than killing him.
Thus, the top experts were holding back and waiting for their chance. After all, whoever could capture Long Chen would gain the Earth Cauldron, the Sovereign Dragon Divine Nest, and all of Long Chen’s secrets.
Although these dragon experts had expressed their loyalty to the Netherdragon race, their greed was stronger than loyalty. If betraying the dragon race had been easy, betraying the Netherdragon race was no problem at all.
It was precisely this greed that gave Long Chen the space to recover. As he secretly rebuilt his strength, he continued acting as if he were barely clinging to life.
Each dragon expert he killed increased his Sovereign flame energy.
This period of exhaustion had awakened his bloodlines’ survival instinct. As a result, they were crazily devouring the Sovereign flame energy to recover and undergo a second awakening. The crisis had pushed them to dig out every last scrap of their potential that had lain dormant; they no longer waited to be fed.
Other than his three bloodlines, his flesh, bones, and soul were also starving. They also devoured the energy from the Supreme Bone.
Long Chen’s power was rapidly climbing, and the wounds from his star branding were gradually healing. Although it was very slow, it gave him hope.
The second awakening of his body revealed a new world to Long Chen. He realized his body was a treasure house that had barely been tapped—he could not see the end of its potential. He had just begun to excavate it.
At the same time, Long Chen understood that cultivating the true Nine Star Hegemon Body Art required a formidable physical foundation, and that the branding of the Starry Sky Battle Robe had been only the first step.
The most laughable thing was that, despite cultivating the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art for so long and believing he had long since entered its gates, he had just been milling around the gate’s threshold the whole time.
“You fools, get away! I’ll kill Long Chen, and I swear I don’t want a single one of his treasures! Stop stalling, or he’ll kill us all!” roared Xi Yuanqing.
Even though that was what he said, no one believed him. Before the Earth Cauldron, even a spiritual oath was worthless.
Long Chen glanced at Xi Yuanqing, killing intent simmering in his eyes. This man could see through his act and had to be eliminated first.
However, Long Chen was still recovering, and slaying someone so perceptive would come at a high price. Killing this guy would also put the others on guard. If the top experts attacked together, the little energy he had regained would not be enough.
He also couldn’t count on Evilmoon, Huo Linger, Lei Linger, and the others to help him. If they were to join in, the sense of crisis would disappear, and it would interrupt his body’s awakening.
“Xi Yuanqing, stop trying to scheme. I’ll settle the matter of you killing my people later. If you dare to try it again, I’ll kill you first,” sneered the black dragon race leader.
He clearly thought Xi Yuanqing was just trying to play a petty trick against them.
“You...” Xi Yuanqing looked at the faces of those at his level and found none on his side. Their gazes were either contemptuous or filled with anger. He went pale and turned toward the Netherdragon leader.
“Lord Netherdragon Xuan, do you not believe me?”
Netherdragon Xuan was a tall, muscular man whose position in the Netherdragon race was extremely high. He was incredibly powerful.
Although plenty of experts here possessed 999 Sovereign flames, no one dared offend him. One reason was his particular status, while the other reason was his overwhelming power.
Netherdragon Xuan indifferently said, “Talking about such things is meaningless right now. You need to prove yourself with action.”
At that indifferent reply, Xi Yuanqing’s hopes died. Clearly, Netherdragon Xuan suspected him too. His heart sank; it was not a good sign for Netherdragon Xuan to also be suspicious of him.
Just moments before, Xi Yuanqing had killed several experts to push back the weaker fighters, but instead he’d lost everyone’s trust. Once the battle ended, they would cause trouble for him.
Netherdragon Xuan’s attitude made it clear he would not protect him, which meant Xi Yuanqing would become the target of everyone at once. When he thought of that, sweat dripped down his back.
“Rhino dragon race, we are retreating! We will not participate in this competition,” announced Xi Yuanqing decisively.
The rhino dragon race’s experts started to retreat from the encirclement around Long Chen. However, some were too battle-crazed to listen. They felt like their chance was right in front of them, so they refused to listen.
“If you don’t retreat now, you will be treated as a traitor of the race! You will be removed from the ranks of the rhino dragon race!” roared Xi Yuanqing.
Those who had reached Long Chen gritted their teeth and retreated. They did not dare to refuse Xi Yuanqing’s orders.
Their retreat was just a drop in the bucket compared to the army of millions attacking Long Chen. No one cared that they left; no one even commented. Fewer competitors made the other dragon experts quietly pleased.
Xi Yuanqing led more than ten thousand away, distancing his people from the battlefield.
He sneered. “You fools... you’ve already walked into Long Chen’s trap and don’t even know it. Have fun dying. I won’t be accompanying you.”
Xi Yuanqing led his people further and further away. They were nearly out of sight when Xi Yuanqing’s expression changed.
“Shit!”
