The Earth-level Battle Skill, Dragon Battles Star Field, was indeed very powerful. The sky was filled with dragon shadows that forced the Blue Dragon Patriarch, a Heavenly River Tier elite, to retreat. However, the Blue Dragon Patriarch quickly threw several punches, and the sharp Star True Qi completely shattered the Dragon Battles Star Field.
"I'm much more familiar with the Blue Dragon Battle Skill than you are. If I use the Blue Dragon Halberd, you won't be a match for me even if you're at the second level of the Heavenly River Tier, let alone now."
The Blue Dragon Patriarch's hoarse laughter made people's scalps tingle. Everyone knew what he meant. He was just playing with them. If he really wanted to kill them, he could directly grab the Blue Dragon Halberd and kill them in a few moves.
"Xuan Xiao, do you know the difference between us now? Haha." The Blue Dragon Patriarch only used his fists to force Xuan Xiao and the others back.
"Meteor Dragon Seal."
This was a high-level mystic level attack. Dongfang Xuanxiao, who was hit, vomited blood again. His face was pale, but he still stood in front of the attack.
"Brother Xuanxiao …" Xuan Ke's face was pale. When he saw that Xuanxiao vomited black blood, he knew that his internal organs were seriously injured.
"I'm fine."
Dongfang Xuanxiao took out a spirit medicine from his Universe Bag, put it in his mouth, and refined it. Then, he forced himself to stand up.
"Ke 'er, we're going to die this time. Think of a way to get Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang out of here," Dongfang Xuanxiao said as he rushed forward.
"Yes, I understand."
At this time, the Blue Dragon Patriarch was fighting with Mo Xiaolang. However, he seemed to want Mo Xiaolang to do something for him, so he didn't use too much force. However, Mo Xiaolang was still in danger.
"It seems that the Sirius Demonic Blade was made for you …" The Blue Dragon Patriarch joked.
"Old man, you're courting death."
At this moment, Xuan Ke had already followed Xuan Xiao's order and rushed towards Long Chen. Long Chen understood what she meant. She wanted to take him with her.
With his arm grabbed by Xuan Ke, Long Chen was unable to resist. With Dongfang Xuanxiao and Mo Xiaolang pressing him down with all their might, Xuan Ke was finally able to rush over with Long Chen.
"Run!"
Xuan Ke put Long Chen down and instructed him before turning around to help Dongfang Xuanxiao. Without her strength, Dongfang Xuanxiao and Mo Xiaolang wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
At this moment, Dongfang Xuanxiao stood in front of Mo Xiaolang and welcomed the Blue Dragon Ancestor's attack.
"Xiao Lang, take Long Chen and leave. We have no hope left this time. You two are still young, live well and avenge me."
Dongfang Xuanxiao's words made Mo Xiaolang's heart skip a beat. He wasn't a person who didn't know his limits. He knew that if they continued to fight like this, they would all die. This was a great opportunity. If he could leave with Long Chen, he would definitely have a chance to take revenge in the future instead of all of them dying here.
"Lingwu family, I'll definitely come back!"
When Xuan Ke arrived, Mo Xiaolang finally made up his mind. He turned around and wanted to take Long Chen and leave this place. However, when he saw Long Chen's blood red eyes, he was shocked.
Right at this moment, Dongfang Xuanxiao and Xuan Ke were both severely injured by the furious Blue Dragon Patriarch. Both of them had blood flowing out of their mouths, and if it wasn't for their determination, they would have already fallen to the ground.
After all, a Heavenly River warrior was not someone that a Heavenly Core warrior could handle with numbers.
"Long Chen, leave now!" At this critical moment, Dongfang Xuanxiao roared out.
Right now, Long Chen's heart was in extreme pain. Dongfang Xuanxiao and Xuan Ke had exchanged their lives for a chance to live, but Long Chen couldn't do anything about it. He started hating himself, and when this hatred was shown on his face, Lingxi felt pain in her heart as well when she saw Long Chen like this.
She had never seen such a defeated expression on his face before.
This time, it was a huge blow to Long Chen.
"Chen, he must be very important to you, right?" Lingxi stared at Long Chen and said with a trembling voice.
"Nonsense. I'd rather die than let them escape. However, I had no choice. I'm a weakling. I deserve to see them sacrifice their lives in exchange for a chance to escape. I, Long Chen, have no choice but to escape." Long Chen's expression turned cold.
"No, Chen, I don't want you to call yourself that, you're not a coward." Lingxi's voice sounded like she was about to cry, but in the end, she became determined.
"Chen, I want to do something for you, but you have to promise me that you'll remember me for the rest of your life, and never, ever, ever, ever, ever," Lingxi said in a resolute manner.
"Little Xi, what are you doing?"
Long Chen was startled, but when Lingxi said those words, Long Chen realized that Lingxi's sword had left his ear.
The emptiness in that moment made his heart turn cold.
"Little Xi, come back."
Long Chen knew that this silly girl must have felt the pain in his heart and wanted to do something stupid. Compared to Dongfang Xuanxiao, Long Chen cared more about him. Although he didn't want Dongfang Xuanxiao to die, he didn't want anything to happen to Lingxi even more.
At this moment, Dongfang Xuanxiao and Xuan Ke were struggling bitterly in the hands of the Blue Dragon Patriarch. Mo Xiaolang was just about to rush out of the Star Fiend Prison with Long Chen when a broken iron sword appeared out of thin air and hovered above Long Chen.
"What is that?"
The Blue Dragon Patriarch was shocked. Then, he saw a white mist appear from the sword, and within the white mist was a beautiful girl that could turn all living things upside down. The Blue Dragon Patriarch was already past his age, so he had long lost interest in beautiful girls. However, he still found it hard to breathe when he saw one that was so beautiful and otherworldly.
However, the murderous aura that followed immediately shocked him.
As he retreated, Dongfang Xuanxiao and Xuan Ke were also able to retreat and escape danger. Lingxi's appearance was unexpected, so they were also a little stunned. However, when Long Chen called her Little Xi, they understood that the girl in the sword was definitely related to Long Chen.
Dongfang Xuanxiao clearly remembered that the iron sword was the earring on Long Chen's ear.
'Could this girl be the reason why Long Chen wants the Green Nethersoul Fruit?' This thought surfaced in Dongfang Xuanxiao's mind.
It was precisely because of the Green Underworld Soul Fruit that Ling Xi had the capital to appear here. Back then, when she had refined the Green Underworld Soul Fruit, she had told Long Chen that the current her could block one move from a Heavenly River Tier elite.
"Chen, all of you run! We'll trap him. We only have 15 minutes, so don't let my efforts go to waste."
After Ling Xi said those words, a powerful aura burst out from her body. The sword aura covered the sky and covered the earth. Even Dongfang Xuanxiao and the others felt their hearts palpitating at the sight of it.
However, this was a nightmare for Long Chen.
"Lingxi, what are you doing?"
Long Chen's mind was filled with hot blood. He was so anxious that tears started to form in his eyes when he thought about what was going to happen next and how he couldn't stop it.
"I've been very happy to be with you for half a year. I still remember your promise. Pay me back in your next life. I hope we can meet again in our next life. When that time comes, I'll be your bride …"
Lingxi's words made Long Chen's heart twitch.
At this moment, Lingxi's body seemed to have turned into a source of light in the void. She didn't hesitate to form illusory swords around her.
"What a powerful sword aura …" Dongfang Xuanxiao and Xuan Ke exchanged glances. They had no idea what was going on.
Long Chen felt a heart-wrenching pain as he watched Ling Xi's figure gradually disappear into the sword light. If it was said that he didn't know what love was before, then right now, he could feel the feeling of wanting to die.
"Bride …" This word was like a sword that pierced through his heart.
All the barriers and ambiguities in the past were shattered by this word. This should have been a good thing, but nothing came of it. Long Chen wasn't sure if Lingxi could come back.
At this moment, a clear sound reverberated in the void.
"Dream Recall … Sky-Towering Sword Prison."
A series of whistling sounds completely drowned out Long Chen's vision. Streaks of sword shadows revolved and formed a prison made of countless sword shadows, trapping the Blue Dragon Patriarch within. Very soon, this silent prison was the only thing left in the void. All the splendor had disappeared.
For Dongfang Xuanxiao, Xuan Ke, Mo Xiaolang, and the others, this scene was enough to stun them, but for Long Chen, it was a nightmare.
Everything disappeared. The Blue Dragon Patriarch had been successfully trapped for 15 minutes. This period of time was enough for them to take Long Chen out of the Star Demon Prison and escape from the Lingwu family. However, this wasn't what Long Chen wanted.
He searched frantically. Finally, he saw a pitch-black iron sword not too far to his left. It was currently falling towards the endless void. This fall would mark the end of Long Chen's life.
Everything that had happened after he had been with Lingxi replayed in his mind. His head was about to explode. Their meeting, their mutual protection, their bickering, their joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, their conversation, and their fooling around seemed to have happened just now. Was everything going to end now?
Long Chen smiled.
He didn't say a word. He didn't care about Dongfang Xuanxiao and Mo Xiaolang's gazes as he leaped into the endless abyss.
"Godfather, if you waste 15 minutes, I won't forgive you even if I become a ghost."
These words were like a heavy hammer that smacked the heads of Dongfang Xuanxiao and the other two. Dongfang Xuanxiao and Mo Xiaolang didn't shed tears easily, but this time, they realized that they really couldn't control themselves.
"… Long Chen."
"Big Brother …"
Lingxi's sudden appearance and the fact that she had trapped the Blue Dragon Patriarch and Long Chen had actually leaped into the endless void was an unexpected surprise to them. Dongfang Xuanxiao was also in great pain. He reckoned that he would only be able to escape if he jumped down with Long Chen. However, Long Chen's words and Xuan Ke's words stopped him from doing so.
"Let's go." Dongfang Xuanxiao gritted his teeth as he endured the endless pressure in his heart.
