Chapter 7170 Lightning and Flames

“Can you two still endure?” Long Chen transmitted to Miao Yin and Zi Yan.

“No problem,” replied Zi Yan. “Since you’re attacking him like this, ninety percent of his domain’s power is gone. We can keep going. But you’re battling a half-step Heavenly Sovereign, so it won’t be that easy. Also, it seems that fellow has noticed your plan. He might attack you directly right now, so be careful!”

Zi Yan and Miao Yin were helping Long Chen with their secret arts. Most of that support was on helping him counter Li Yifu’s domain. Once Li Yifu switched to defense, the power of the domain shrank, and the two of them were no longer paying such a heavy price to counter it. Even so, two hours had passed. Both of them were weary.

“I’m not afraid. In this state, I can also fight him in a battle of attrition, no problem. As for you two, if you can’t endure, you can stop before injuring yourselves. Don’t lose your ability to protect yourselves,” warned Long Chen. The two of them were assisting him from a distance, and it was all too likely for Li Yifu to launch a surprise attack on them. With his character, he really would be willing to use any means necessary.

“Relax, I will look after little sister Miao Yin. You don’t need to worry about us!” promised Zi Yan.

Miao Yin was strong, but lacked combat experience. Zi Yan was different. She had experienced countless life-and-death battles now. Her sense of danger was definitely much sharper than Miao Yin’s, and even though he had never asked her about this directly, Long Chen had no doubt that she had her own life-saving cards up her sleeves.

Lightning swords continued to rain down. But despite them seeming as mighty as they’d been in the beginning, Li Yifu suddenly sensed that their power was starting to weaken. He had just been about to launch an attack when he decided against it. If he could safely exhaust Long Chen, why bother risking it? Since he’d already fought to this point, continuing a bit longer wasn’t a problem.

As for Long Chen’s side, the power of the lightning blades dropping was actually not bait. Lei Linger’s core energy was almost exhausted.

The reason Long Chen was able to unleash such powerful lightning attacks was, of course, thanks to Lei Linger’s secret support. If it hadn’t been for Lei Linger using up her core energy in his place, he would have been unable to keep fighting since a good while ago. Now, after two hours of wild attacks, Lei Linger’s immense thunderforce was finally reaching the bottom of the tank.

Eventually, the spectators began to notice as well, and this observation triggered an uproar. Was Long Chen finally at his limit? If that was the case, then Li Yifu might make his move at any moment. The moment he did, it would be a sudden killing blow that would leave Long Chen no chance to survive.

Long Chen had given everyone a shock today. Although his title of the number one figure of the nine heavens was something the Brahma line had crowned him with in order to get him killed, the more they watched, the more they felt that he truly did deserve this title.

“Why did things have to turn out like this? We’re all humans. Do we really need to kill each other like this?” sighed one person.

“That’s true. The ten thousand races are all fighting against each other, and the human race was already in a tight spot. Fighting like this truly isn’t good for us.”

“The human race is simply doomed to this kind of fate. Could it be that a peerless heavenly genius is going to fall today?”

Countless people felt great regret over this. Long Chen was incredibly talented, but it seemed that he didn’t understand how to hold back. For a Sovereign Lord, challenging a half-step Heavenly Sovereign was no different from courting death.

“You already have amazing power for your young age. You’ve truly surprised me. If you kneel down and beg for mercy, I am willing to accept you as a disciple. I will pass down all my life’s learning to you,” announced Li Yifu suddenly.

While it sounded as if he was taking pity on Long Chen’s talent and didn’t wish to kill him, the truth was that he was intentionally provoking Long Chen. Although the latter was young, considering his status, how could he possibly kneel and beg for mercy? Furthermore, how could he accept someone else as a master?

“Does your face not hurt when you say that? In a bit, I’ll give you another slap so that you can wake up from your daydream!” Long Chen’s disdainful voice rang out loud and clear from high above.

The lightning clouds started to grow faint. The lightning dragon had also faded and looked like it would disperse at any moment.

“Hmph, you brat, since you refuse to accept kindness, don’t blame me for being ruthless!” sneered Li Yifu.

“Being ruthless? Can someone like you be called ruthless?” retorted Long Chen.

Just then, a shocking change occurred. The fading lightning clouds were suddenly covered by endless flames. An intense heat threatened to ignite the very world as the lightning dragon disappeared and a flame dragon appeared in its place. Another surge of terrifying heavenly might made these experts’ hearts shake.

“This aura... it’s a Heavenly Flame!”

Startled cries rang out. The lightning sea that Long Chen had summoned possessed the might of heavenly tribulation, and now, this flame appeared to be some kind of Heavenly Flame!

“Flame law—Violet Flames Incinerate the Heavens!”

The sea of flames in the sky surged, and flame spears suddenly condensed and showered down upon Li Yifu.

By borrowing Huo Linger’s power, Long Chen had changed the form of Violet Flames Incinerate the Heavens. The flame spears rained down in an assault even more ferocious than Lei Linger’s lightning swords. Every single one of these flame spears was on par with a suicidal attack from a triple-manifestation Divine Sovereign. Millions of them fell almost instantly, completely drowning Li Yifu.

“What the hell?!”

Everyone was shocked. Long Chen actually had another terrifying attack up his sleeves; if anything, it seemed even stronger than the last one!

Of course, they had no way of knowing that Long Chen had intentionally drawn out the pace just to numb Li Yifu and make him believe it was a battle of attrition. By the time that Li Yifu realized that something was wrong, Long Chen had long since summoned Huo Linger to assist him.

Huo Linger had the Fusang Trees and Moon Trees to support her, as well as the Golden Crows and Jade Rabbits. In terms of energy stores, she had a hundred times what Lei Linger had, and she was now unleashing all that power as quickly as possible.

The lightning spears rained down as a furious torrent. These wild attacks slammed into Li Yifu’s barrier with such power that the world shook. Li Yifu’s barrier was completely wrapped in flames, and it wasn’t possible to see what was going on inside. However, the violent sounds coming from inside told people that Li Yifu was definitely suffering. In a battle of attrition, the losses were proportional; naturally, the more energy Huo Linger used up, the more Li Yifu used up.

The flame spears continued to rain down, and the torrent only grew stronger. This was Long Chen and Huo Linger’s first time unleashing this attack, so their collaboration hadn’t been perfect at first. But as time passed, their teamwork grew stronger, and more and more spears came flying out.

Suddenly, a flustered howl echoed from within the sea of flames. “You damn brat, you are asking for it!”

BOOM!

The flames burst apart, revealing Li Yifu once more. Everyone was shocked to see him not charge at Long Chen, but instead fly towards Miao Yin and Long Chen.

The moment Li Yifu moved, Long Chen did as well. However, Long Chen did not move to defend the two of them. Instead, he was headed in the opposite direction—the direction of the Immortal Ascension Gate!

“You bastard! You dare?!”

Li Yifu’s expression immediately changed. He directly abandoned the two women and charged after Long Chen.
