Chapter 6388 Scram or Die

“You guys really know how to pick a time!” Long Chen complained, gritting his teeth.

He hadn’t expected the Starry Sky Battle Armor’s branding process to consume so much of his strength. His skin, flesh, and bones were all pierced by astral energy. This violent branding was more agonizing than any wound he had ever suffered.

Worse, the primal chaos space’s energy couldn’t heal it. The damage could only recover slowly on its own. The astral runes were in their most vulnerable state, so if Long Chen fought now, he could shatter them. Once broken, they would never be repaired.

At this very moment, several terrifying auras surged.

These were the experts who had been absorbing Grand Dao qi at the mouth of the volcano. To have claimed ground here, none of them was a weakling. They sensed Long Chen’s condition and encircled him, though none made the first move. Instead, they tested him with their auras.

All of them were wary. Though they knew Long Chen possessed the Earth Cauldron, none were eager to strike first.

“You idiots, I’ve tied down his strongest helper! What are you waiting for?!” Huo Yan shouted.

He was still locked in combat with Cang Lu, the two evenly matched.

Today was the height of misfortune for Huo Yan. If not for Long Chen, he would have absorbed Grand Dao qi peacefully, raising his final Sovereign flame to a higher tier and stepping into a new realm of power. Instead, Long Chen had seized his place. Of all the experts present, none hated Long Chen more than him.

Seeing that there was a problem with Long Chen’s cultivation, yet these people still didn’t attack him, Huo Yan roared furiously.

“Noisy. Kill him,” Long Chen said coldly.

At that command, Cang Lu’s Bloodfiend Halberd swept down with renewed ferocity. Huo Yan grunted, barely blocking the strike.

After fighting for so long, although Huo Yan couldn’t beat Cang Lu, Cang Lu was also unable to do anything to him.

BOOM!

Another clash sent them both flying. But this time, as Huo Yan staggered back, a flaming sword pierced his back.

A beautiful maiden of fire appeared from the void, a mischievous smile on her lips. She gripped a flaming blade that blazed like a sun.

“Big Brother Long Chen said to kill you,” she said sweetly. “So go in peace.”

The next moment, Huo Linger’s flame blade blazed with divine light and enveloped Huo Yan.

Huo Yan’s terrifying flame energy was rapidly flowing away. His Sovereign flames flickered and died. Then, the flame runes across his body dimmed to nothing.

“No!” Huo Yan shrieked, struggling.

But Huo Linger had been waiting for this chance. She poured out her power, greedily devouring his flames. In moments, his body turned to blackened coal before crumbling apart.

This expert, who had just condensed 999 Sovereign flames, who had stepped into the third-step peak Human Emperor realm mere hours ago, was slain in an instant.

Gasps echoed from the surrounding experts. None had expected Long Chen to have another terrifying ally beyond the black-armored warrior.

When they realized the maiden was a flame spirit, in addition to shock, they also felt greed. A flame spirit was the ultimate treasure many dreamed of enslaving. With such a powerful guardian, it was no wonder Long Chen acted so arrogantly.

After slaying Huo Yan, Huo Linger appeared by Long Chen’s side. Cang Lu joined them as well. In her hands now gleamed a flaming spear—Huo Yan’s divine weapon. She leveled it at the gathered crowd.

“If you want to follow Huo Yan,” she declared, “then come and try!”

After killing Huo Yan, Huo Linger managed to intimidate quite a few of them with the power flame energy coming from her body.

“A little flame spirit dares to speak so arrogantly? Don’t be too happy. Once you become my battle pet, we’ll see if you can still be so arrogant,” sneered one person in the distance.

In response, Huo Linger’s eyes flashed. The flaming spear shot forward like a streak of light.

BOOM!

The flaming spear exploded, its detonation ripping a hole in the void. Within the ruined space, a hulking four-armed outsider staggered from the blast, bloodied and scorched.

His huge body was covered in shattered scales, and he was holding half a shield—the thing that had saved his life at the critical moment. Judging by its aura, the shield was also a Divine Sovereign weapon. Though broken, it had absorbed most of the impact of the blast and saved him.

This four-armed lifeform was shocked and enraged. He had never imagined that the seemingly delicate maiden would ruthlessly detonate a Divine Sovereign weapon.

What he did not realize was that the flame spear carried the ancestral runes of Huo Yan’s bloodline. Huo Linger could suppress it, but she could not control it. Since she could not wield it, she naturally didn’t cherish it. Instead, she forced her flame energy into its core, shattered its runes, and triggered its destruction.

Having narrowly survived, the four-armed outsider furiously cursed, “You bastards—”

Just then, a hand pressed on the back of his head. Lightning suddenly surged, and his skull blew apart.

“What?!”

Gasps rippled through the crowd. Another expert who had condensed 999 Sovereign flames had been slain.

Behind the corpse stood a violet-haired maiden. The lightning on her hand slowly faded, revealing a cold, apathetic face.

Lei Linger disappeared along with the corpse and reappeared behind Long Chen. After that, she tossed the corpse down.

Two beautiful maidens stood at his back—one fiery, one icy. Both radiated shocking power, chilling the hearts of the surrounding experts.

“Did you really think Big Brother Long Chen was alone? With us here, you won’t be able to harm a single hair on his head. Let me give you some advice. Either scram now, or die!” Huo Linger declared, her gaze sweeping over the crowd disdainfully.

“A flame spirit, a lightning spirit, and some ancient puppet,” a cold voice sneered. “Long Chen, do you truly believe they are enough to protect your life?”

The void twisted. Ripples spread across the air like water, and a figure silently emerged.
