long chen had been waiting precisely for this moment. his goal wasn’t to defeat the six horn sea serpent but to kill him.

although they might sound similar, there was an immense difference between them. beating him required being just one level stronger. but killing him was much more difficult, because no one who was beaten would silently sit there waiting to die instead of fleeing.

in order to kill an expert on this level, long chen had to first exhaust all their trump cards and energy before an opportunity would present itself.

now, that chance had come. using the celestial lightning body blink, long chen appeared in front of him and unleashed a full-power slash.

the six horn sea serpent took out his tortoise shell once more. however, in its damaged state, it was no longer able to block long chen. it shattered.

nonetheless, it still managed to win him a chance to breathe. he hastily retreated, trying to get between two squads of the dragonblood warriors.

however, the dragonblood warriors were prepared. they once more combined forces and attacked, their goal not being to kill him but merely to block him.

suddenly, the six horn sea serpent’s body transformed. he returned to his original form, that of a giant sea serpent.

two rays of sword qi landed on his body, tearing through his defenses and leaving two giant wounds.

however, in his true form, those giant cuts were still acceptable. he charged through, unleashing a wave of power as he passed to knock the dragonblood warriors back. with him putting everything on the line and using his full power, the dragonblood warriors were unable to prevent him from getting past. but they did delay him.

in that instant, long chen caught up to him from behind, a giant saber-image condensing in the air.

“long chen, you’ll regret it if you kill me!” shouted the six horn sea serpent as he fled. even in his true form, he wasn’t faster than long chen. seeing long chen’s saber about to fall on him, he cried out, panicked.

long chen ignored him. talking with such a brainless person was a waste of time. he continued to accumulate power, wanting to kill him with this final blow.

the six horn sea serpent had exhausted enough of his power for long chen to kill him. there was no way the former could maintain his peak form in this state.

“split the heavens 8!”

long chen’s response to his threat was to slash down the attack that he had been condensing.

“long chen, you bastard!” the six horn sea serpent cried out furiously, his voice hoarse. it almost sounded like he was wailing.

the six horn sea serpent began to fade away until he vanished without a trace.

long chen shook his head and sighed. in the end, he had failed to kill him.

geniuses like the six horn sea serpent had the karmic luck of an entire race concentrated on them. they also had priceless treasures that made killing them extremely difficult. despite knowing all this already, long chen couldn’t help being disappointed.

“it’s fine. i’ll use your snake skin to make some boots for myself. i refuse to believe you have another treasure like that.” long chen put away evilmoon and calmed his emotions. looking back at the battlefield, he saw that all the sea demons had fled.

“boss, the sea demons had three hundred thousand experts here. we killed one hundred and seventy thousand. the rest fled. on our side, over ten thousand people died,” reported a dragonblood warrior.

long chen nodded. to only lose ten thousand while killing one hundred and seventy thousand was an amazing combat achievement.

a portion of that was thanks to lei long. lei long was their bane and had greatly weakened them, not to mention lowering their morale.

there were now six squads gathered, five from the martial heaven continent and one from the xuan beasts. that was a powerful force.

“boss, that fellow escaped. the other groups are now probably in danger,” said one dragonblood warrior. if one squad were to encounter him alone, they would probably be wiped out.

“this place isn’t the martial heaven sea-ring, so it probably will take a while for him to recover. as long as we use this time to gather the squads so that each group has a captain level combatant, we’ll still be able to fight upon encountering someone like him. let’s link our compasses and transmit the news. in the future, if you encounter any sea demons, don’t waste any words. if the situation is suitable, just directly kill them,” said long chen. they linked up six compasses, allowing them to reach even further.

“boss, boss guo ran has reached back to us, asking if we want to meet up with him. he’s about half a day’s travel from us and has two squads,” reported a squad leader.

“that’s a good idea. if we’re so close, we can even pass a bit of the map to him. he can link up everyone and transmit the map bit by bit,” said long chen.

guo ran was with xia chen. the main goal right now was to pass the map to everyone.

long chen gave the orders, and everyone got to work. transmitting all this information didn’t just require multiple compasses, but it also required the power of their dragon blood. some of the dragonblood warriors took charge of that, while the others cleaned up the battlefield.

“senior apprentice-brother long chen, what do you want to do with these corpses?”

the neidans within the sea demons were valuable, but the actual corpses weren’t so useful. but just tossing them aside would be wasteful.

“i’ll take the corpses.” long chen sent them into the primal chaos space. this meat was probably too low level for wilde, and if he didn’t want them, he could use them as fertilizer.

an incense stick’s worth of time later, the work was done. they had also received word back from guo ran that they had received the map.

“boss, let’s go. we found a potential treasure house. the sea demons came over here precisely for it,” said one of the dragonblood warriors.
