Chapter 867
Long Chen was startled, thinking Leng Yueyan had attacked Yue Xiaoqian . But that azure light was just a spiritual imprint, and it didn’t possess any offensive power .
Yue Xiaoqian extended a hand and caught it . The light disappeared, but Yue Xiaoqian was delighted . “Many thanks, big sister!”
Leng Yueyan shook her head . “Although there’s nothing I need inside, I still owe you a favor . If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have recognized what these coffins were . I, Leng Yueyan, dislike owing favors . Now that I’ve returned it, we’ll be enemies the next time we meet, because next time, I will cut down this fellow . ”
After saying that, Leng Yueyan walked away in front of everyone’s uncomprehending gazes . She clearly was intent on leaving .
Long Chen also didn’t comprehend it . Leng Yueyan had clearly told Yue Xiaoqian something, but for her to leave just like this surprised him .
Seeing her leave, everyone relaxed . With her here, the pressure was just too great, especially in this region where magical arts were forbidden . Her speed was too shocking, and without magical arts, they wouldn’t even have a chance to run .
“Hahaha, I didn’t expect this place to be so lively . Even some legendary figures have appeared . Looks like my luck isn’t bad . ” Suddenly, a thunderous laugh rang out from the sky . A large figure with wings floated down slowly .
“Yu Changhao?”
Everyone was startled . The only people that naturally had wings in the Eastern Wasteland were the Feather race . Furthermore, this person’s incredibly powerful aura meant he had to be their number one expert, Yu Changhao .
Yu Changhao floated within this forbidden zone, as his wings were not formed through a magical art . In this region, perhaps he was the only one capable of flying .
Once he arrived, he stopped right in front of Leng Yueyan .
Leng Yueyan paused and icily looked at him . “Scram!”
Yu Changhao didn’t get angry . In fact, he laughed . “As expected, you’re just like the legends . I’ve long since heard the grand name of the arrogant god-like Devil Empress Leng Yueyan . Excellent, you’re very much to my taste . Only a woman like you is worthy of me subduing . ”
Leng Yueyan examined Yu Changhao and shook her head . “I’m not interested in a man like you . Get out of my way . I still have things to do, and I’m too busy to kill people!”
Yu Changhao was slightly surprised . Although he had long since heard that Leng Yueyan was incomparably arrogant, he hadn’t expected her to treat him like he was nothing .
“A wild horse is the best . Hehe, then let me see whether I can subdue you or not!” Yu Changhao snorted and extended a hand toward Leng Yueyan’s chest . He was originally three hundred meters from her, but as he moved, he suddenly appeared before her . Almost nobody was able to see how he had done that .
“Your speed’s not bad, but it’ll still not enough,” said Leng Yueyan indifferently . Suddenly, her bone blade slashed through the air .
Her terrifying speed made it look like she was directly cutting through space . People even saw the space around her sword twist .
That wasn’t from a magical art, but something that would happen when something’s speed was pushed to the pinnacle . When Leng Yueyan had attacked Long Chen, no one had seen it clearly since they hadn’t been expecting it . It was like it had ended before starting .
This time, they had long since been waiting with rapt attention . But even so, they were only able to see that blade’s image flash for a moment . They were fundamentally incapable of tracking her sword with their eyes .
Leng Yueyan’s sword was slashing straight toward Yu Changhao’s throat with her terrifying speed and at a crafty angle . Yu Changhao, who had long since been prepared, snorted . He continued with his claw, while his other hand reached toward her sword .
Leng Yueyan’s mouth curled into a smile of ridicule . When he saw that smile, Yu Changhao finally had a bad feeling . But as a peak expert, he had confidence in his move .
Just as his hand was about to touch her bone blade, countless tiny runes appeared on his palm . That wasn’t a magical art, but his bloodline runes . They were also his core runes . This formation did not strip him of those .
This was one of Yu Changhao’s most effective moves . Countless experts had fallen to this move . He had absolute confidence in it, which was why he dared to block Leng Yueyan’s bone blade with his bare hand . Even if it was a Treasure item, he had confidence in stopping it within one breath’s time .
That was enough to determine victory or defeat . This was a move he had tempered through countless battles and the lives of countless experts .
His hand caught Leng Yueyan’s sword . Yu Changhao was delighted, thinking to himself that Leng Yueyan was only at this level . As expected, rumors were always exaggerated . He smiled .
But that smile quickly disappeared, because he was horrified to sense fluctuations constantly coming from the bone sword . His hand only caught it for a moment before it slicked through his grasp as if it was covered in oil . It was impossible for him to hold it .
Leng Yueyan’s slash turned into a pierce . Her bone sword was now piercing straight toward his head .
Yu Changhao was horrified . He had no choice but to stop his attack . The hand grabbing the bone blade fiercely pulled away, causing her attack to deviate .
But just at that moment, he found that the bone sword began to release an absorptive force . It pulled him in closer . Leng Yueyan seemed to have long since expected all of this, and the moment he tried to pull her sword away, she used that opportunity to escape his grasp . Even with Yu Changhao’s quick reactions, he still staggered forward half a step .
“Not good!”
Just at that moment, the soft absorptive force from the bone blade disappeared . It slashed straight toward his head . If this attack struck, half his head would be sliced off .
The wings behind Yu Changhao’s body suddenly lit up, and he shot back . It was like something had fiercely pulled him from behind .
This happened incredibly quickly . It was over in the blink of an eye . People felt like their vision had merely blurred for an instant before everything became still .
Yu Changhao was back in his original position, three hundred meters from Leng Yueyan . It was like that exchange hadn’t even happened .
Leng Yueyan sheathed her bone blade and indifferently said, “You want to subdue me with just this little ability? I have to admire your courage . Your speed is insufficient, and your battle techniques are also not good enough . Perhaps by relying on your core energy, you can fight me for a short while, but you don’t even have a ten percent chance of defeating me . Letting you see some of your own blood can count as an admonishment for your arrogance . If I didn’t have more pressing matters, this world would no longer have a Yu Changhao . ”
Leng Yueyan’s icy voice was beautiful, but it caused everyone to feel a chill . They saw a stream of blood coming from Yu Changhao’s forehead .
Yu Changhao had managed to block her fatal attack, but he had still been injured . From that injury, it was possible to see bone . If he had just been the slightest bit slower, he would be dead .
Just as everyone was filled with shock, Leng Yueyan stamped lightly on the ground and shot into the sky .
Once free from the formation, a pair of runic wings appeared on her back . Her scarlet dress danced in the wind, making her look like a goddess . Her sapphire eyes locked onto Long Chen . “Long Chen, you’re the man I care about the most . Don’t disappoint me . Next time we meet, I hope you can block my attack . ”
After saying that, Leng Yueyan’s wings flapped, and she disappeared in front of their gazes .
Crazy, absolutely crazy . Long Chen raged to himself . Just how had he brought such a crazy woman upon himself?
“Xiaoqian, what did she say to you?” Long Chen asked Yue Xiaoqian secretly using a spiritual message . This kind of spiritual message was something that could only be used between two people that trusted each other .
If they were strangers, both parties wouldn’t want to accept the spiritual message . If someone had evil intentions, they could use a spiritual attack during the transmission while the other party’s guard was down .
As for that azure light Leng Yueyan had shot out, it was a different kind of spiritual message . Yue Xiaoqian had been able to safely accept it .
“That big sister said-”
“Don’t call her big sister . She’s just a crazy woman, and my enemy . Don’t get tricked,” warned Long Chen . Yue Xiaoqian had pitifully little experience . It was best if she didn’t mistake Leng Yueyan for an ally . After all, Leng Yueyan was a vicious character . Being merciful to her was suicidal .
“Okay . She told me that there is something I need within one of these coffins,” said Yue Xiaoqian .
“Her Voidpiercing Eyes are said to be able to pierce through all fabrications to see the truth . Perhaps she really did see something . Although she’s crazy, there’s not much of a problem when it comes to her trustworthiness,” said Long Chen .
“She isn’t tricking me . I am extremely sensitive to other people’s lies, and that sense is unrelated to cultivation base . I’m sure,” said Yue Xiaoqian .
“Alright, then we’ll trust her this once . But even if we know this, it’s useless . With this protective formation, we can’t go in . ” Long Chen couldn’t help but curse Leng Yueyan inside . If she wanted to be a good person, she should have acted good all the way until the end . If they weren’t able to get through his formation, what she had told them would be useless .
Just as Long Chen was wondering how to get through this formation, the others finally recovered from their shock at Leng Yueyan and Yu Changhao’s exchange .
Although that had been a simple exchange, it had contained the essence of battle, the essence of the Martial Dao . There was a great deal that could be learned from it .
Yu Changhao also only recovered from his shock now . He had never expected Leng Yueyan to be this powerful . He was also furious .
His previous words had truly been too arrogant . Now he had fallen into this miserable state in front of countless elites . It could be said that he had lost all his face .
At this time, Yu Changhao saw Yue Xiaoqian whispering to Long Chen . It was unknown whether it was because of what Leng Yueyan had said just before leaving, but his fury immediately erupted .
“Die!” Yu Changhao’s wings lit up as he shot toward Long Chen with incredible speed . One of his claws reached toward his throat .
