CHAPTER 787: CHAPTER 784 JIAO LONG SHOWS ITS MIGHT!

Li Bing and Du Hee exchanged a glance, each unleashing their Magical Treasures, attacking Jiao Long from both left and right directions.

They noticed that the aura of the Jiao Long was significantly weaker than that of the Mystic Thunder Python inside, and thus decided to switch from blocking to launching a decisive attack to accumulate merits for their promotion to Elder.

Naturally, Jiao Long was no easy target, as it didn’t want to become just a stack of bones on someone else’s merit book.

It threw its head back and let out a fierce roar, its Thunder Claw reaching out from its belly, and a Thunder Light Ball fiercely slashing forward.

Although Jiao Long’s attack was fierce in momentum, its speed was not fast. For mid-stage Golden Core cultivators like Li Bing and Du Hee, it was easy to dodge.

However, in that instant, they suddenly felt their minds, just like being pricked by needles, come to a sharp halt, their hand movements also slowed down by half a beat.

Although it was just half a beat, in such a critical moment, that was the difference between life and death!

"Crack!"

Li Bing, who was closest to Jiao Long, was struck by the Thunder Claw and instantly turned into charred ash. The smell was even reminiscent of Brazilian barbecue, a truly shocking sight.

Seeing his comrades, who had fought side by side just moments before, killed instantly, Du Hee was terrified, his heart shattered as he repeatedly retreated.

"Whoosh!"

Jiao Long’s second claw reached out from its belly, gathering a cyan hurricane around it, swirling like thousands of Wind Blades, sweeping forward.

With the precedent of his fellow comrade right before his eyes, Du Hee lost his courage, continuously retreating.

But he retreated dozens of steps, until his back was against the cold, hard stone wall, with no more room to escape.

"Crash!"

The hurricane, like autumn winds sweeping fallen leaves, crushed the stones and violently tore him apart. His flesh and blood were scattered, a sight too horrific to bear.

Wuo Jie, who was fighting the Mystic Thunder Python, saw his two capable subordinates get killed in just a few breaths, and was immediately terrified.

Yet the Mystic Thunder Python looked up to the Jiao Long with admiration. And despite being at a continuous disadvantage, the arrival of this uninvited guest, Jiao Long, immediately turned the tables, allowing it to start a counterattack.

Du Hee, worried he was not a match for the two Mystic Thunder Pythons, planned to temporarily avoid their sharp edges. He intended to call in his fellow disciple Du Bin to join him in killing these two beasts.

The Mystic Thunder Python, wary of the Mountain Shifting Ruler in his hand, did not dare to pursue too closely.

Jiao Long, however, was like a fearless calf, charging at Du Hee and biting fiercely.

But just as it lunged, it was smashed hard by Du Hee with the Mountain Shifting Ruler.

Fortunately, its Scale Armor was sufficiently sturdy, dissipating most of the force. Otherwise, even if the blow didn’t kill it, it would have lain incapacitated for three to five years.

The Mystic Thunder Python dared not pursue, Jiao Long was beaten back, and Wuo Jie retreated towards the cave entrance, composed and unhurried.

Seeing this situation, Li Chen’s expression grew even more solemn.

This Wuo Jie was already a Quasi-Nascent Soul Strong Person with a heavy Magical Treasure like the Mountain Shifting Ruler. If he were to leave easily, it would be a great future threat.

With this thought, Li Chen secretly made up his mind that this time, no matter what, he must take this old man’s life.

Thinking this, Li Chen stealthily sneaked up, preparing to launch a surprise attack from behind, striking when least expected.

However, Du Hee’s Divine Sense was exceptionally sensitive. Before Li Chen could get close, he had already sensed something.

"Who is there, come out!"

Du Hee’s gaze was cold as he shouted into the air.

Seeing that the sneak attack had failed, Li Chen decided to launch a decisive attack.

He did not hesitate at all, directly lifted the Mystic Iron Heavy Sword, and with the force of a thunderous Tai Mountain, fiercely smashed it down.

Du Hee’s heart was greatly alarmed, instinctively swinging the Mountain Shifting Ruler to block.

"Clang!"

The clash sounded like a huge bell, sparking thousands of star-like sparks that scattered with the wind.

These flickering lights, in the pitch-dark cave, seemed particularly glaring.

Du Hee realized that the one attacking him was not an enemy of the same realm, not even a Golden Core Cultivator, but merely a Foundation Establishment Junior, which made his expression suddenly stun in surprise.

"Who are you, and why do you ambush me?"

"For that question, you might as well ask Yama in hell!"

Li Chen coldly retorted and lifted the Mystic Iron Heavy Sword again, slashing towards Du Hee.

"So delusional, overestimating your own abilities. You think a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator could stop me?"

Du Hee retorted angrily, his Mountain Shifting Ruler fiercely spinning in his hand, turning into an imposing mountain, pressing down towards Li Chen.

The force of this strike weighed over a million pounds. Knowing he could not match it, Li Chen used the movement technique boost from the Unrivaled Immortal Shoes to quickly retreat.

"Boom!"

Right as his figure flashed to avoid the attack, the spot where he was just standing was smashed into a bottomless pit. Loose rocks also fell like hail, clattering down.

Li Chen outlined an arc in mid-air, consolidated Protective Gang Qi, and shielded both himself and Lian Hongshang within it.

While Li Chen was struggling to hold on, Jiao Long and the Mystic Thunder Python had, unbeknownst to him, entwined together.

However, it wasn’t a fight, but rather it seemed more like... an amorous entanglement.

Seeing this scene, Li Chen was so frustrated that he almost spit blood.

"Little Dragon, what the hell are you doing? Hurry up and come help!"

Hearing Li Chen’s call, Jiao Long somewhat reluctantly came forward to help.

"Boom!"

"Whoosh!"

From its belly, the Thunder Claw and Wind Blade were fired consecutively, creating a thunder and wind storm that struck towards Du Hee.

Meanwhile, the Mystic Thunder Python also emitted a thunder ball from its mouth, joining Jiao Long in striking at Du Hee.

Although Jiao Long was a fourth-level early stage Demon Beast, it had the bloodline of the Ancient Demon Dragon within it, which was exceptionally powerful. Its combat power was not at all inferior to the fourth-level late stage peak Mystic Thunder Python.

With the two of them attacking together, let alone Du Hee who was merely a Quasi-Nascent Soul, even a real Nascent Soul Strong Person might find it difficult to resist.

What Du Hee couldn’t understand was how Li Chen, merely a Late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, could command Demon Beasts several times stronger than himself.

Before he could continue pondering, the attacks from Jiao Long and the Mystic Thunder Python, with the momentum of destroying heavens and earth, fiercely swept in.

The cave was narrow, leaving very little space for Du Hee to dodge or move.

Moreover, apart from the two gigantic creatures, Jiao Long and Mystic Thunder Python, there was also the monstrous Li Chen, holding the immensely heavy Mystic Iron Heavy Sword, eyeing him hungrily, ready to strike at any moment.

"Cursed be, since you are bent on seeking death. Then today, let you properly witness my heaven-reaching abilities!"

Seeing no way out, Du Hee steeled his heart and prepared to unleash his last absolute kill move.
