Oh no.
In truth, Long Chen had fought for so many years, and it was rare for him to make a mistake.
At first, he didn't expect the situation to be so serious.
Before coming, he had thought they were two fruits. He had not expected them to be the eyes of the City Lord of the Wronged.
Not only were the ten ghost kings here, but even the City Lord of the Wronged seemed to be hiding within them.
The severity of the situation had far exceeded his expectations.
But since he was already here, for the sake of the remaining twenty million lives, Long Chen knew that he could not retreat. He had already been very careful not to open his God Kingdom in front of everyone, lest the other party sense him. After all, the Golden Demon Imprisonment Column could conceal almost all of the girl's aura.
But at this time, the eyeball on the demon tree unexpectedly released such shocking power that Long Chen had to use the Golden Demon Imprisonment Column to protect his life. Only then did the girl find an opportunity.
The mistake had already been made, and he could only make up for it. As Wenren Xi and the others did their best to stop the ghost kings, the only thing Long Chen could do was escape.
But the eyeball that had escaped from the demon tree was shockingly fast, even faster than Wenren Xi.
The other eyeball also lacked the power of twenty million lives. It had not formed yet and could not be used.
Some powers were truly irresistible.
Even Great Emperor Zhenwu was so afraid of this guy. It could be said that the City Lord of the Wronged was the most terrifying enemy Long Chen had ever met. When he was alive, he must have held a very high position in the Eternal God Realm.
"Little guy, you can't escape. Give me back my heart."
The City Lord of the Wronged's agitated voice rang in Long Chen's ear.
Long Chen put away the Golden Demon Imprisonment Column, which had expended a lot of energy. He held the God Slaying Sword and the Lingxi Sword in his hands and turned around. The City Lord of the Wronged's dark red eyeball was already in front of him.
"Extreme Finger of Time."
Long Chen pointed.
Time stopped.
"What kind of power is this?"
The City Lord of the Wronged was astonished, but he only used an instant to break free of the power of the Extreme Cosmic Finger.
Long Chen used the God Slaying Sword to execute the Expand Character Formula. Nine gray sword qi formed the devouring sword qi of the Expand character and surrounded the dark red eyeball.
"Four Dao patterns, and you've even cultivated the God Slaying Art. Not bad, not bad." The City Lord of the Wronged laughed happily as if he had found a great treasure.
He easily escaped from the encirclement of the nine Sword Qis.
This was the first time Long Chen had faced an opponent that made him feel so powerless.
His last strike was a frenzied slash with the Lingxi Sword.
At this time, the dark red eyeball was already on Long Chen's chest.
"In that case, let me help you open the Divine Kingdom," the City Lord of the Wronged said excitedly.
His heart was the most important thing to him.
This was definitely an unexpected gain.
It ignored Long Chen's Lingxi sword and was about to attack, but Long Chen's Lingxi sword had already struck the eyeball.
"It's no use, kid … Ah!"
The City Lord of the Wronged suddenly let out a blood-curdling scream. His eyeball hurriedly tried to escape, but Long Chen still managed to slice off a tenth of it with the Spirit Dawn Sword. A large amount of dark red liquid dripped down like blood.
"What sword is this?"
The dark red eyeball was extremely shocked.
With Long Chen's power, it was impossible for him to hurt it. It was definitely because of this sword.
The eye that had just regenerated was already heavily injured. If it did not heal, everything would be in vain. The City Lord of the Wronged could not care about anything else. He endured the pain in his eye, and power gathered in the dark red eyeball.
"Divine Kingdom, open for me."
Perhaps he had used a mysterious secret, but Long Chen was shocked to find that he could not control the Divine Kingdom. The City Lord of the Wronged had used his strange power to tear a hole in the huge Divine Kingdom.
The City Lord of the Wronged's heart and Yang Lingqing were both inside.
"Damn."
Long Chen was about to go crazy. Since Lingxi's sword was effective, he frantically stood in front of him to prevent the City Lord of the Wronged from entering his Divine Kingdom.
"What a vast world. Such talent is rare even in the Eternal God Realm." The City Lord of the Wronged couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
What made him even more excited was the beautiful blue-haired girl in the crystal ice coffin.
"Little beauty, little beauty, I've finally found you."
The City Lord of the Wronged was extremely excited. His eyeball moved at a speed that Long Chen's Lingxi sword could not kill, and he was about to rush into Long Chen's Divine Kingdom.
"Extreme Finger of Time."
Long Chen gritted his teeth and used the Extreme Finger of Time with all his might. He craved the power of the Extreme Finger of Time, and he tried to grasp the flow of time. He longed for this moment, and he wanted time to stop.
"Stop right there! Freeze!"
In that instant, under the power of the Extreme Finger of Time, the City Lord of the Wronged's eye, which was closest to Long Chen's Divine Kingdom, stopped for a full two breaths of time.
Pfft.
Blood spurted out of the pores on Long Chen's right index finger, instantly dying his palm red. He felt as if his finger was about to explode.
But he had fought for a chance.
"Damned old ghost, I'll show you."
Desperately using the Extreme Finger of Time to stop his opponent, Long Chen said nothing. Lingxi's sword stabbed towards the dark red eyeball with the fastest speed possible, using up all of Long Chen's strength.
"No." The City Lord of the Wronged was shocked.
"Die."
The Extreme Finger of Time played a fatal role in this crucial moment, and it allowed Long Chen's understanding of time to deepen.
Time was a wondrous power.
As the City Lord of the Wronged screamed in despair, Lingxi's sword pierced through the dark red eyeball.
Pfft.
Dark red liquid flew out, and the entire eyeball shattered.
That was the life force of fifty thousand living beings.
Whether it was Wenren Xi or Ye Guyu, they were both watching this scene in shock.
Long Chen had displayed astonishing power in this crucial moment.
Furious, he pulled out Lingxi's sword, his eyes bloodshot, and slashed wildly at the eyeball.
"Isn't your eye very powerful? Shatter!"
Under Long Chen's relentless slashes, the City Lord of the Wronged's blood sprayed wildly.
The City Lord of the Wronged's shrill voice pierced Long Chen's ears.
"Damned dog, I didn't kill you immediately because of your talent, but you repay my kindness with enmity. You deserve to die. I've decided that I won't let you die, but I'll make you regret it for the rest of your life. I'll make you live in endless pain for the rest of your life. I'm a legend of the Eternal God Realm, and I'll destroy a measly Three Realms and Nine Realms."
The City Lord's crazed roar showed Long Chen an even more terrifying side of him.
"Shatter, shatter!"
The dark red eyeball was unusually tough. Despite Long Chen's repeated slashes, it was extremely viscous and didn't crack.
"Is this the woman you like? Looks like I'll have to give you a surprise."
The City Lord of the Wronged's terrifying voice rang quietly in Long Chen's ears.
Long Chen's eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.
He was only one step away from destroying the City Lord's eyeball.
At this moment, the eyeball suddenly exploded.
"Petrification Curse."
The ancient scripture rang in Long Chen's ears like a dream.
A ray of gray light shot out of the exploding dark red eyeball and burrowed into Long Chen's shattered divine kingdom, stabbing toward Yang Lingqing.
"No!"
Long Chen's eyes were blood-red as he roared madly. He mobilized all the Nirvana power in his body and swept it across the divine kingdom to block the gray light. But the Nirvana power couldn't resist the strange scripture at all. The gray light pierced into Yang Lingqing's forehead under her horrified gaze.
"Brother, save me...."
Long Chen only heard the last sentence. Then, he saw with his own eyes that Yang Lingqing, starting from her head, was slowly turning into a statue. In a short moment, a female statue that looked like a dark goddess appeared in front of Long Chen, looking extremely similar to Yang Lingqing.
Long Chen was stunned.
After the City Lord of the Wronged's eyeball exploded, everything dissipated.
Long Chen was extremely confused. Everything in his world seemed to have stopped, leaving only the statue of Yang Lingqing.
"Die."
Wenren Xi's frenzied attacks finally smashed a ghost king to pieces, but it was to no avail. The other ghost kings had actually fled at this time.
The demon tree had burrowed into the ground.
After the original eyeball exploded, it produced a large amount of white mist, half of which was absorbed by the remaining eyeball. The eyeball, which had not taken shape before, actually took shape in an instant.
There was also a white mist that began to dissipate along with the miasma.
Long Chen landed on the ground, his entire body emitting a thick murderous aura. His blood-red eyes watched the demon tree disappear, and the remaining nine ghost kings also disappeared with it.
"Don't be nervous, brat. I said I would torture you. I won't let her die so easily. Bring my heart to the Eternal Hells within a year, and I'll bring her back to life. If you don't, she'll die for all eternity."
"Remember, you only have a year."
A year.
At the beginning, Long Chen had already killed Yang Lingqing.
Because Yang Lingqing had already lost all signs of life.
It was he who had let Yang Lingqing enter his Divine Kingdom. He had only wanted to protect her, but he had not expected that he would harm her instead.
He already knew that Yang Lingqing was dead, so in that moment, his heart was filled with indescribable pain and panic. This was something he had never experienced in his life. He had always hovered on the edge of life and death, but he had never let anyone close to him die.
Today was the first time.
In that moment, Long Chen's entire mind went blank. He forgot everything else. The only image in his mind was that of Yang Lingqing turned to stone.
His body was undergoing a desperate transformation, and the blood in his body was almost stagnant.
And at this time, the City Lord of the Wronged's words saved Long Chen from his pain.
So Yang Lingqing was not dead.
She had a year. After this year, she would die forever.
