To be able to use the Jade Fire Crystal, it meant that Yan Danqing had lost most of his rationality. At this moment, he was a madman. He would rather disregard his own life and death to make Long Chen pay the price.
Holding the Jade Fire Crystal, Yan Danqing smiled sinisterly. He used his thumb and index finger to pinch the Jade Fire Crystal and placed it in front of him. As long as he exerted a bit of force, he could completely crush the Jade Fire Crystal. At the same time, the Mother Crystal on Yin Mengyao's knee would also explode. It was fine for the Jade Fire Crystal to explode, but if the Mother Crystal exploded, Yin Mengyao would definitely die.
At this critical moment, Long Chen and Xiao Lang didn't hesitate and directly rushed towards Yin Mengyao. This was exactly what Yan Danqing wanted. Yan Danqing wanted Long Chen to die and Yin Mengyao to fall. How could Long Chen not die if he wanted to save Yin Mengyao?
Looking at Yin Mengyao's panicked expression, Long Chen's heart was already stretched to the extreme. At this moment, his heart was filled with monstrous anger. According to the current situation, he simply couldn't save Yin Mengyao.
However, at this moment, Xiao Lang, who was faster than him, let out a wolf howl. Long Chen could feel a strange aura coming from Xiao Lang's body. This feeling was clearly the same as when Xiao Lang was devouring the Nine Nether Demonic Ancestral Flame while Long Chen was beside him.
"Xiao Lang is using the Sun Devouring Demonic Wolf's devouring skill."
Long Chen was startled at first, but he immediately reacted and revealed a joyful expression. This Jade Fire Crystal was clearly a fire attribute item, and this type of item could only be the Sun Devouring Demonic Wolf's food.
Thinking of this, Long Chen let out a sigh of relief. However, the anger in his eyes didn't lessen. If it wasn't for Xiao Lang's divine ability, Yin Mengyao would've died today, causing eternal regret for both Long Chen and Xiao Lang.
"Yan Danqing …" Long Chen took out his Blue Dragon Halberd. While Xiao Lang was rescuing Yin Mengyao, he slashed at Yan Danqing and pointed the Blue Dragon Halberd at Yan Danqing's head.
"You want to kill me? Go to hell!"
At this moment, Yan Danqing laughed maniacally. Then, he crushed the crystal in his hand. Instantly, a wave of energy was transferred to the mother crystal. At this moment, everyone was extremely nervous.
When Yan Danqing crushed the crystal, the mother crystal had already left Yin Mengyao's thigh and was heading towards the Sun Devouring Demonic Wolf. What made Long Chen truly relieved was that the mother crystal didn't explode. Instead, it was directly swallowed by Xiao Lang. This showed how powerful the Sun Devouring Demonic Wolf's flame devouring ability was.
"Yan Danqing, you've crossed my bottom line this time …" Long Chen, who was infuriated, simply couldn't stop himself. He waved the Azure Dragon Battle Halberd and flicked it upwards. Suddenly, a dragon's roar rang out as an azure dragon shadow pounced towards Yan Danqing.
"Blue Dragon Halberd, Dragon Soars to the Nine Heavens."
Using this move to deal with Yan Danqing showed how furious Long Chen was. Yan Danqing was looking forward to seeing Yin Mengyao and Long Chen being smashed into pieces. But what he saw was the mother crystal being swallowed by Xiao Lang. For him, this was simply impossible. Hence, when Long Chen used such a move on him, he was still in a daze.
When the sharp halberd energy was already in front of him, he finally reacted. But it was already too late. His strength was originally inferior to Long Chen. Under Long Chen's Dragon Soars to the Nine Heavens, he could only let out a desperate roar before he was lifted into the sky by Long Chen. When he fell to the ground, his eyes were wide open. He had completely lost his breath. He died cleanly.
After killing Yan Danqing in one move, Long Chen finally vented his hatred. But when he remembered that Emperor Yuan was behind Yan Danqing and the warning that Emperor Yuan had given him, he was a little worried.
Despite his worry, he didn't regret killing Yan Danqing. He actually kidnapped Yin Mengyao and offended both Long Chen and Xiao Lang. Even if Long Chen didn't kill him, Xiao Lang would.
Long Chen was about to reunite with Yin Mengyao when a white light suddenly appeared from Yan Danqing's corpse and flew in the direction of Emperor Yuan City.
"Not good."
Xiao Lang had just untied Yin Mengyao with his claws and freed her. Yin Mengyao had just escaped when she saw the white light and hurriedly said anxiously, "That's the Soul Jade Token. After Yan Danqing died, it will fly back to its owner and record the location, people, and other information here. I think Emperor Yuan will know soon, you guys run."
He didn't even have time to say a few words to Yin Mengyao before an even greater crisis loomed in front of him. Long Chen estimated that Emperor Yuan wouldn't dare to make an enemy out of him because he was an Immortal Realm Divine Guard. But Long Chen wasn't sure if Emperor Yuan would be able to hold back his anger when his two grandsons were killed.
"Sister Mengyao, hurry back to the Lingwu family by yourself. I am now an Immortal Realm Divine Guard. I will head in the direction of the Jade Emperor Palace. There's no time to lose. Once I'm free, I will go to the Lingwu family to look for you." Long Chen put away the Blue Dragon Halberd and hurriedly instructed.
"Okay, you guys be careful."
Yin Mengyao knew the seriousness of the matter, so she didn't delay. They split into two groups and began to act.
On Xiao Lang's broad back, Long Chen thought carefully, 'Emperor Yuan's strength is at the second level of the Heavenly River Tier, and he also has the beast soul transformation of the Primordial Extreme Beast. I'm definitely not his match. Xiao Lang is currently controlling the body of the Sun Devouring Demonic Wolf and isn't particularly familiar with it. His only trump card is the Nine Nether Demonic Ancestral Fire. If we really fight, the two of us might not be Emperor Yuan's match. Emperor Yuan seems to be more difficult to deal with than the Blue Dragon Patriarch, both in terms of willpower and strength. This time, will he take the risk to kill me?'
At this time, Long Chen and Xiao Lang still hadn't left the Northern Spiritual Region. The location of the Jade Emperor Palace was in the center of the four major regions, relatively close to the Eastern Spiritual Region. So, there was a long distance from here. As long as they returned to the Jade Emperor Palace, everything would be fine.
However, at this moment, an angry roar came from the west, "Long Chen, don't even think about leaving."
This hoarse and old voice was clearly Emperor Yuan's. He didn't expect the other party to really catch up. Long Chen's heart instantly tightened to the extreme. He turned his head and saw a great aura erupting from Emperor Yuan's body. It was clear that he was going to attack Long Chen.
"Xiao Lang, be careful."
In the process of speaking, Long Chen had no choice but to complete the dragon soul transformation and display his most powerful side. Now that they were about to leave Yuan Ling City, if he still died in the hands of Emperor Yuan, then everything would be too wasteful.
"Why is Emperor Yuan looking for me?" Long Chen asked coldly.
In terms of a long journey, Emperor Yuan's speed was definitely not faster than a smile. But now that they were in a short period of pursuit, even if it was Xiao Lang, it would be difficult to get rid of him.
"Why? Long Chen, you killed two of my grandsons, Yan Chixue and Yan Danqing. Today, regardless of whether you are an immortal realm divine guard or not, I will seek justice from you." Emperor Yuan's figure instantly appeared in front of Long Chen.
With his personal strength, he was about to catch up to the state of the four Old Ancestors of the Lingwu Family wielding Earth-rank divine weapons. From this, it could be seen how strong Emperor Yuan was. Even Xiao Lang, who had just occupied the body of the Sun Devouring Demonic Wolf, couldn't do this.
"Aren't you afraid that the Ninth Prince will take your life?" Long Chen asked curiously. "Life? So what?
Long Chen, I have already warned you not to underestimate the means of an old man, but you still killed my grandson. With such a deep hatred, if I live with my tail between my legs, how am I going to face all the disciples of the Beast Soul Palace in the future? What the Ninth Prince values is your potential, not your strength. There are many talented people like you in Bi Yang Imperial City. You actually naively think that if I kill you, the Ninth Prince will destroy the Beast Soul Palace as a warning to others? Let me tell you, dream on. "
Long Chen frowned deeply. He could see that Emperor Yuan had really gone berserk this time. Just by looking at his heavy breathing and his bulging veins, he could tell that something was wrong. Long Chen, a commoner without any foundation, had actually snatched his grandson's position as an Immortal Realm divine guard, and in the end, he even killed Yan Danqing. How could Emperor Yuan not go crazy?
At such a young age, he had reached the Advanced Heavenly Core Realm, and it was very likely that he would reach the Heavenly River Realm in a few years. In the future, he might even surpass Emperor Yuan himself. Such a Sun Ziyan Danqing could be said to be a good seedling that Emperor Yuan had cultivated for many years, but today, he was completely destroyed by Long Chen.
This time, even if he had to risk his life, he had to kill Long Chen. As long as Long Chen was dead, he could deal with the pressure from the Ninth Prince. Emperor Yuan still didn't know how much the Ninth Prince valued Long Chen. He also didn't know that the Ninth Prince had directly given Long Chen a lot of Heavenly River Pills and the first two levels of the Divine Fire Clone.
At this time, there was only anger and killing intent in Emperor Yuan's heart.
Long Chen knew that this battle was inevitable. He originally thought that the battle with the Blue Dragon Patriarch would be his last battle in Yuan Ling City. He didn't expect that it would be Emperor Yuan, the strongest person in Yuan Ling City. And the one Long Chen was facing was the existence that he once looked up to.
However, he was still no match for Emperor Yuan. It seemed that this time, he could only rely on Xiao Lang.
"Xiao Lang, be careful, I will support you from the side."
There was already a true brotherhood between Long Chen and Xiao Lang. Xiao Lang didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Long Chen killing Yan Danqing. And now that he was about to fight the legendary strongest person in Yuan Ling City, his heart was also filled with excitement.
"A second-grade Earth-rank monster beast, hmph." Emperor Yuan snorted coldly.
"Beast soul transformation, Yuji Beast."
At this time, Emperor Yuan was rapidly completing the beast soul transformation, turning into a half-human, half-white ape appearance similar to Yan Danqing's. However, this white ape was four meters tall, and its arms alone were thicker and longer than Long Chen's entire body.
Sharp teeth, sharp claws, and bulging muscles with white hair all over his body made Emperor Yuan look visually stunning. His robust appearance was completely different from the old and frail appearance he had before.
At the same time, a monstrous aura erupted from his body.
