"The Blue Dragon Patriarch is in the Star Demon Prison."
This thought gave Long Chen a fright. In other words, there was a loophole in their plan. Their plan, which was already halfway to success, was about to be ruined. Mo Xiaolang and Xuan Ke, who were dreaming of escaping, might not be able to leave. Furthermore, Long Chen and Dongfang Xuanxiao might be severely punished.
Not only Long Chen, but even Xuan Ke and Mo Xiaolang's expressions changed.
"Let's get out of here first."
Long Chen made a prompt decision without any hesitation. Right now, Dongfang Xuanxiao should be fighting the Blue Dragon Patriarch alone. Although Long Chen was useless, there was still Xuan Ke and Mo Xiaolang, who might be able to help.
After leaving the Blue Dragon Planet, both of them were faster than Long Chen, especially Mo Xiaolang. After grabbing Long Chen, the three of them charged toward Dongfang Xuanxiao like a gust of wind. Very soon, they arrived at the fork in the road. In front of them was Dongfang Xuanxiao, who was half-kneeling on the ground. He was probably injured. His face was a little pale, and his face was filled with madness. In front of him was the Blue Dragon Patriarch, whose face was filled with mockery.
The arrival of Long Chen and the others instantly attracted their attention. When Dongfang Xuanxiao turned around and saw the black-clothed woman beside Long Chen, his eyes went blank for a moment. Then, he started tearing up. In the past twenty years, he had never shed tears. However, when he saw the girl he used to be, he couldn't control himself anymore.
"... Big Brother Xuanxiao."
Xuan Ke felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and lost control of her body. If it weren't for Long Chen's support, she would have fallen off the iron chains. Below them was a bottomless abyss, and falling down would be a sure death.
"Ma 'er."
Dongfang Xuanxiao roared. He, who had always been calm and steady, was so excited that he couldn't control himself. He rushed toward Xuan Ke and pulled her into his embrace. He hugged her so tightly that the veins on his arms bulged. Xuan Ke also hugged him tightly, afraid that he would disappear from her arms.
How deep must their feelings be? How deep must their longing be to have this kind of strength? They hadn't seen each other for twenty years, but their feelings hadn't faded in the slightest. When Long Chen saw this, his heart ached. He sympathized with them, because there was still the greatest obstacle in front of them, an obstacle that they couldn't overcome.
Inside Lingxi's sword, the young girl was already sobbing uncontrollably.
"If I were to separate from him for twenty years, would he still remember me?"
At this moment, this thought was like a nightmare in Lingxi's heart. She couldn't get rid of it no matter how hard she tried. This question had been engraved in her soul and wouldn't disappear even after ten or twenty years.
"What should we do?"
Mo Xiaolang pulled Long Chen back, his voice trembling. The person who sent him to the Blue Dragon Planet was the Ancestor of the Blue Dragon, and now the Blue Dragon Ancestor was in front of them.
"Let's play it by ear."
To be honest, Long Chen felt very helpless at this moment. He was the weakest one here, so he couldn't be of any help at all. At this moment, he once again had a strong desire for strength. As long as he was strong enough, today's matter could be easily solved.
After twenty years of waiting, his dream had finally come true. However, this dream was now facing the danger of being shattered. Long Chen was very anxious and even painful at this moment. To be honest, he wasn't very willing to be called foster father. In his heart, there had always been only one father, and that was Long Qinglan, the one who gave him the mysterious dragon jade and made him a dragon warrior. However, Xuan Xiao had taken care of him for so many years, so Long Chen had long regarded him as a respectable elder.
Now, this elder was once again facing the most painful moment of his life.
Not being able to protect the person he loved the most was the most painful thing for every man.
However, the Blue Dragon Ancestor didn't understand at all. At this moment, he smiled coldly and said, "Xuan Xiao, you want to fight with me with that brain of yours? You've endured for twenty years and thought that I've long forgotten about this matter. However, you've overlooked one thing, and that is that I know you better than your damn father. Ever since you were young, your persistence and patience have far surpassed your peers. You've never admitted defeat. It's your character that betrayed you. When I found out that you had chosen your foster children to participate in the battle for the Blue Dragon Halberd, I knew what you were going to do, but you naively thought that I'd forgotten about it …"
Dongfang Xuanxiao was shocked. He didn't turn around, but stroked the long hair of the woman in his arms and said regretfully, "Ke 'er, I'm sorry, I've failed again. But don't worry, even if I lose my life today, I won't let you go back."
"Big Bro Xuanxiao, we'll die together," Xuan Ke said with determination.
Dongfang Xuanxiao glanced at the woman he had been thinking about day and night, then he nodded his head. After that, they turned around and faced the Patriarch of the Blue Dragon Ancestor without any fear.
Hearing their conversation, the Patriarch of the Blue Dragon Ancestor burst out into laughter. A mocking expression emerged on his face. After that, he turned to Mo Xiaolang and said with a surprised tone, "You've reached the Peak Heavenly Core realm? This really surprises me. Mo Xiaolang, as long as you promise me one thing, I'll let you go. But, we'll talk about it after I've dealt with this shameless couple."
His eyes turned cold.
"Little she-devil, I heard your father's cultivation base is extremely high, and he's one of the strongest warriors in the entire Cang Yang Kingdom. I didn't dare kill you in the past, but now, your father has probably forgotten about you. As for Xuan Xiao, I had high hopes for you, I thought you could become a great warrior like your father. But, after twenty years, you're still trapped by the devil in your heart, and you can't break through to the Heavenly River realm. Even if you do break through to the Heavenly River realm, I don't think you'll work for me. Therefore, this time, I'll send you both on your way, so you don't have to suffer in front of an old man like me. You know, what an old man fears the most is suffering."
The Patriarch of the Blue Dragon Ancestor's words were equivalent to sentencing Dongfang Xuanxiao and Xuan Ke to death. Long Chen clenched his fists tightly after hearing this.
"Patriarch of the Blue Dragon …" Long Chen had a strong desire to kill this old man. Along the way, there were a few people he wanted to kill even in his dreams, such as the Scarlet Blood Religion Master, and the Patriarch of the Blue Dragon Ancestor was one of them.
"Chen, I don't want them to die, they shouldn't die …" Lingxi was already moved by them, and she felt sorry for them. Dongfang Xuanxiao was a good person, and she also approved of him.
"But, Little Xi, I don't have any other way …" Long Chen's words were filled with helplessness.
"Strength, it's still a problem of strength. I've been improving, but I've always been weak. This kind of strength is enough for me to bear any burden. If one day, I have to face the same situation as Xuan Xiao, what can I do?" Long Chen was also struggling in his heart.
The Heavenly River Tier, it really made people feel helpless.
"Ke 'er, I'm sorry. I've made you suffer. I regret it now. If I didn't get together with you, you wouldn't have suffered so much." Dongfang Xuanxiao stared at the Patriarch of the Blue Dragon Ancestor, and his voice was filled with heartache.
"I've never regretted it. My intuition can't be wrong. Big Brother Xuanxiao, if we have to suffer when we're together, I don't care. I don't care even if I die for it." They clasped their hands tightly together.
Their nonchalant conversation made the Patriarch of the Blue Dragon Ancestor even angrier. He gradually clenched his fists and said, "Don't waste my time. You guys attack together."
Dongfang Xuanxiao and Xuan Ke were ready. At this time, Xuan Xiao turned around and said to Long Chen, "Brat, I'm really sorry for dragging you into this. When we attack, find a chance to slip away. Don't ever come back to the Lingwu family. Long Chen, if you're successful, remember to come back and help me kill this old man."
After saying this, he held Xuan Ke's hand and stood together with the Patriarch of the Blue Dragon Ancestor, who was at the Heavenly River Tier, regardless of whether Long Chen agreed or not. In an instant, an enormous amount of energy surged, and the entire iron chain shook violently. The three of them flew up and down the iron chain, but none of them fell.
Fighting on the iron chain in the void was also a profound knowledge.
"Big Brother, you stay here. I'll go help." Mo Xiaolang took out the Heavenly Wolf Demon Blade and charged at the Patriarch of the Blue Dragon Ancestor without saying a word.
With the help of Mo Xiaolang, both Dongfang Xuanxiao and Xuan Ke 'er who were in imminent danger had slightly recovered.
"You three Late Heavenly Core warriors want to escape from me? In your dreams! Do you really think the strength of a Heavenly River warrior is something you can imagine? A Heavenly River warrior absorbs the energy of the stars and creates the Yin and Yang Heavenly River in his body. Now, I'll show you the strength of the Heavenly River!"
After saying that, the Patriarch of the Blue Dragon Ancestor unleashed one punch after another. Every punch was filled with destructive energy of the stars. This energy was much stronger than the Meteor Fist that Long Chen used.
Every time he punched out, the iron chain would shake violently. The destructive Star energy fused with his true energy, and the power of his combat skill was much stronger than any Divine Core warrior's. Among the three, Dongfang Xuanxiao, who was the strongest among them, had actually thrown up two mouthfuls of blood in just a quarter of an hour when facing Jiang Chen's attack.
This wasn't the first time Xuan Xiao had fought with the Patriarch of the Blue Dragon Ancestor. However, the massive energy of the stars was still his nemesis. Right now, Xuan Xiao was using a High Mystic halberd.
"Blue Dragon Combat Skill, Star Dragon Battle!"
The loud shout caused the iron chain to shake even more violently. In front of Long Chen's eyes, beams of halberd beams shot out. Each beam of light transformed into tiny shadows of dragons, and they crazily charged toward the Patriarch of the Blue Dragon Ancestor. Hundreds of millions of roars sounded out, and they contained a tremendous amount of energy.
"Your Star Dragon Battle is pretty good. It's almost as powerful as a Heavenly River warrior's attack, but it doesn't have the strength of a Heavenly River warrior." The Patriarch of the Blue Dragon Ancestor said with a cold smile.
Long Chen stared at the scene with a blank expression.
"Is this the Star Dragon Battle? Xiao Xi, tell me, should I do something?"
