Chapter 5384 Preparing for Battle

The Qilin Horn Heaven Swallowing Sparrow carried everyone through the skies. This time, it was Long Chen seated atop its head while Ye Lingkong snored behind the Hidden Dragon Legion.

Suddenly, a bronze war chariot appeared off to their left rear, moving at a speed that surpa.s.sed even the Qilin Horn Heaven Swallowing Sparrow. Despite the sparrow’s divine status, its speed was average among divine beasts, as its true strength lay in its raw, violent combat abilities. Due to its large and somewhat c.u.mbersome frame, its speed was limited.

The chariot quickly approached and then abruptly slowed down right in front of them, clearly attempting to provoke them.

“Show them who’s the boss!” shouted Long Chen.

The Qilin Horn Heaven Swallowing Sparrow cried out excitedly, opened its mouth, and shot out a black sword. Following that, Long Chen heard startled cries from within the war chariot. Divine light swelled out of it, forming a barrier.

BOOM!

The black sword exploded, transforming into millions of black runes. It was one of the Qilin Horn Heaven Swallowing Sparrow’s divine abilities. The power of this attack sent the bronze chariot tumbling forward and shattered its protective divine light.

“Well done!” Long Chen said, patting the sparrow’s head approvingly.

The Qilin Horn Heaven Swallowing Sparrow let out another enthusiastic cry, flapping its wings to continue onward.

On the other hand, the bronze chariot was spinning through the air out of control, with its occupants likely dazed and dizzy.

“Wind G.o.d Sea Pavilion!” A furious roar rang out as the Qilin Horn Heaven Swallowing Sparrow flew by.

“Oh, so you know we’re from the Wind G.o.d Sea Pavilion and still dared to provoke us? Mess with us again, and we’ll crack that bronze sh.e.l.l of yours and kick your a.s.ses!” Long Chen shouted back arrogantly.

Long Chen was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with confidence. He had an agreement with Ye Lingkong that any skirmishes with other disciples were his to handle, leaving senior b.a.s.t.a.r.ds to Ye Lingkong.

Ye Lingkong disliked niceties and trouble. Seeing Long Chen had such strong leaders.h.i.+p capabilities, he simply left everything to Long Chen, letting him do whatever he wanted. All Ye Lingkong wanted was a break.

If a senior were to try to bully them, Ye Lingkong would naturally take action. In any case, these sects rarely fought for real. Mostly, they would just attack each other verbally, which was really not Ye Lingkong’s style. Luckily, Long Chen could back him up with his fiery tongue.

With each pa.s.sing moment, Long Chen was getting stronger. His strength continued to improve thanks to the Radiant World Star Crystal, and his primal chaos s.p.a.ce was teeming with vibrant life energy from the devoured corpses. As a result, both Lei Linger and Huo Linger were thriving because of it.

Huo Linger in particular had gained a great deal. Her Golden Crow army was growing day by day, and all of their power was under her command.

Additionally, three half-step Devil Emperor corpses were beginning to stir within Long Chen’s spiritual s.p.a.ce. With these powerful allies, Long Chen felt ready to face any challenge. His previous defeat by the Silver Hair Void Crusher had been a tough blow, but now, with his strength and confidence restored, the unmistakable swagger of Boss Long San had returned.

As the Qilin Horn Heaven Swallowing Sparrow flew off, the bronze chariot suddenly pursued it, divine light flaring atop it. Its occupants clearly had no intention of backing down.

“Since they’re so eager, let’s give them what they want,” Long Chen sneered.

Long Chen had previously asked Ye Lingkong about it—anyone else entering the Wind Domain Battlefield was essentially the Wind G.o.d Sea Pavilion’s enemy. The Wind G.o.d Sea Pavilion had intentionally acted weak to its enemies, resulting in countless greedy factions wanting to take over the Wind Domain Battlefield. They even joined forces to squeeze out the Wind G.o.d Sea Pavilion’s disciples.

In the last few openings, the Wind G.o.d Sea Pavilion’s disciples had become their targets. They used these poor disciples to get to the Wind Domain Battlefield and then immediately killed them once they were inside.

After Long Chen heard about that, his heart was at ease—he could just kill them all and didn’t need to fear slaying the innocent. He just so happened to like this kind of vengeance.

The Qilin Horn Heaven Swallowing Sparrow’s wings suddenly retracted as powerful Blood Qi surged around it like a tidal wave. It opened its mouth, revealing a black vortex that shot toward the chariot.

Seeing this, the chariot frantically reversed direction and barely dodged the black vortex. A mix of panic and anger erupted from inside. “Wind G.o.d Sea Pavilion, have you gone crazy?!”

They clearly hadn’t antic.i.p.ated the Qilin Horn Heaven Swallowing Sparrow to unleash its most fearsome killing move. Had they been any slower, the bronze chariot would have been crushed to smithereens by the vortex. Having just escaped death, they were shocked, enraged, and afraid.

“Old fogey, shut your mouth. The Wind G.o.d Sea Pavilion is now under Boss Long San’s command. Keep yapping and I’ll crush your dog head!” shouted Long Chen arrogantly from atop the Qilin Horn Heaven Swallowing Sparrow.

“Just you wait!” came the furious reply as the chariot vanished from sight.

“Horned Swallower, no need to go easy on those a.s.sholes. I am not Left Emissary Ye. With me in command, you can do whatever you want,” encouraged Long Chen.

Long Chen had sensed the sparrow holding back; otherwise, it would’ve waited for the bronze chariot to get closer to ensure they had no chance of escaping.

Even if they had detonated the bronze chariot in time to escape the black vortex, it would have been futile. As long as the Qilin Horn Heaven Swallowing Sparrow could hold back the elder inside, the Hidden Dragon Legion would have easily slaughtered the disciples.

Unfortunately, the group managed to slip away, leaving Long Chen grumbling. The Qilin Horn Heaven Swallowing Sparrow let out a low cry, promising that it wouldn’t let it happen again. Clearly, it had grown a bit too restrained under Ye Lingkong’s watch.

Spreading its wings, the Qilin Horn Heaven Swallowing Sparrow took off once more. Soon, another group of experts appeared and attempted to provoke them. At Long Chen’s furious command, the Qilin Horn Heaven Swallowing Sparrow immediately released its killing intent, sending the group scattering like frightened rabbits, disappearing in an instant.

Unfortunately, the Qilin Horn Heaven Swallowing Sparrow was too slow and couldn’t catch up. Otherwise, by the time they got to the Wind Domain Battlefield, half of their enemies would already be dead.

For three days and nights, they flew onward as the air grew thick with a murderous aura, and the wind element energy became increasingly intense. Long Chen could even catch the scent of death in the wind.

He gazed into the distance, where a desolate expanse lay before them. Countless figures were blocking their path, their auras br.i.m.m.i.n.g with fury.

Upon seeing them, Long Chen grinned darkly.

“Sisters of the Hidden Dragon Legion, prepare for battle.”
