Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5354 Breaking Out

BOOM!

Tang Wan-er’s sword was silent at first, but when it struck the Heaven Devil’s spear, all the wind energy concentrated within it exploded into a wild tempest. The sheer power blew apart the land, and violent winds formed into razor-sharp blades that tore through the air. The bone devils were caught off guard and scrambled to defend themselves.

Even a seven-vein emperor was blasted back. They had been the closest to the Heaven Devil, ready to rescue him if something went wrong, and thus were the first to be hit. The terrifying wind blades clashed against their bone armor, causing explosions. Six-vein Emperors were forced to retreat, while four-vein Emperors and below were sent flying.

The wind blades seemed endless. Although the Emperor-level bone devils could rely on their bone armor to withstand the assault, the non-Emperors were instantly annihilated.

“Not good!” someone shouted.

These wind blades did not differentiate between friend and foe and were now heading for the Hidden Dragon Legion. Xiao Yue and the others were horrified. But just as panic set in, Long Chen raised his hand, and a violet shield appeared in front of them.

The wind blades struck the violet shield, slicing through it, but their energy dissipated instantly, turning into nothing more than a harmless breeze by the time they reached the Hidden Dragon warriors.

The violet blood is truly miraculous. It uses softness to counter hardness, making it much more efficient than meeting force with force. This saves me a lot of energy, Long Chen mused.

Long Chen’s strongest bloodline was his dragon blood, followed by his seven-color Supreme Blood, and lastly, his violet blood—at least in terms of pure destructive power. The strength of his dragon blood came not just from its raw power but also from the Sovereign Blood Seal, which appeared when he unleashed the God Slaying Cross.

Yet, while seemingly weak, his violet blood had many miraculous uses, often providing Long Chen with unexpected benefits. His violet blood seemed to have all-encompassing power. With it as a foundation, he could unleash any magical art.

For instance, the violet blood was essential in using the curse art he had swindled from the mysterious green parrot. Neither his seven-color Supreme Blood nor his dragon blood could handle it.

Summoning a barrier with violet blood had also proven to be surprisingly effective. It was strong against strong attacks, and weak against weak attacks. The wind blades had sliced through his violet shield like paper, but all their power was instantly nullified. This was the miraculous ability of the violet blood, and even Long Chen didn’t fully understand its power.

Seeing Long Chen’s shield easily deflect Tang Wan-er’s wind blades, the Hidden Dragon warriors were shocked. Although they had heard of Long Chen’s strength, witnessing it firsthand was a different experience. Even surrounded by bone devils, they felt a strange sense of safety in his presence.

The Heaven Devil’s eyes burned red with fury. His spear trembled as he struggled to push back against Tang Wan-er’s sword. Tang Wan-er was forced back three steps, but on her fourth step, she suddenly smiled.

The Heaven Devil was shocked, feeling that all the power he had exerted on Tang Wan-er had vanished, like a clay ox thrown into the sea. Just as he faltered, Tang Wan-er sidestepped gracefully, her robes billowing in the wind, and her sword flashed toward his waist as he stumbled forward.

This wasn’t just a quick strike—it was backed by immense, unimaginable power. A visible wind blade trailed behind the edge of her sword, slicing through the laws of space like tofu.

“Careful!” the bone devil elder shouted. He realized that Tang Wan-er had absorbed the Heaven Devil’s energy and merged it into her own strike. This was an attack that couldn’t be blocked with mere brute force.

The elder rushed forward, but it was too late. Sensing the danger, the Heaven Devil poured all his devil qi into his bone shield, which flared with light.

BOOM!

Tang Wan-er’s sword shattered the bone shield. The Heaven Devil coughed up blood and was sent flying. Seeing this, the devil elder immediately shot at Tang Wan-er, as did the other Emperors of the bone devil race.

“Hidden Dragon warriors, it’s time to fight!” shouted Long Chen.

In response, the Hidden Dragon warriors roared and charged forward.

Tang Wan-er clashed with the bone devil elder, her sword meeting his staff. To her surprise, his strength was not as overwhelming as she had expected.

“This old fellow already has one foot in the grave! He was also injured by the ceremony! You can definitely take him on. But your priority isn’t to kill him—it’s to lead your legion out of this blockade!” Long Chen’s voice transmitted to her.

As the leader of the Hidden Dragon Legion, Tang Wan-er couldn’t focus solely on herself. She needed to guide her legion and work in harmony with them. Only then could the legion’s full potential be unleashed.

The Hidden Dragon Legion was still inexperienced and needed Tang Wan-er’s care. With Long Chen’s reminder, Tang Wan-er pressed the elder back with a powerful strike but didn’t pursue him. Instead, she rejoined her legion. Just then, a swarm of bone devils charged at them from all sides.

“Kill!” Tang Wan-er led the charge, with the eight divine retainers protecting the flanks. The Hidden Dragon Legion charged straight through the densest ranks of the bone devils, their formation unstoppable.

With Tang Wan-er at the front, they broke through the blockade in an instant, leaving countless bone devils dead in their wake.

“Divine Dragon Tail Pendulum!” Long Chen shouted as he unleashed an attack on the bone devils who had turned to pursue them. Caught off-guard, many were slain.

In just a few charges, the bone devils had suffered heavy losses. The Hidden Dragon warriors gradually found their rhythm, and their confidence grew.

“Retreat!” the bone devil elder shouted when he saw their high morale. Grabbing the injured Heaven Devil, he fled.

“Kill!” Tang Wan-er shouted, ready to chase after them.

But Long Chen grabbed her arm and pulled her back. “Are you lost in the heat of battle? What did we come here for? The main objective is more important! Retreat!”

Only then did Tang Wan-er and the others remember their true goal—the ranking competition. Embarrassed, she stuck her tongue out at Long Chen. She had been caught up in the battle frenzy and forgotten about it.

This was still bone devil territory, and who knew how many reinforcements they might have? Without wasting any more time, Long Chen led everyone at full speed toward the Fiend Blood Battlefield.
