Boom!
As the crowd exclaimed in surprise, the Ancient Demon Corpse's fist landed directly on Long Chen's chest.
The only thing Long Chen could do at this critical juncture was to activate his Dragon Soul Transformation. Blood-red scales had just appeared to block Long Chen's chest when the Ancient Demon's corpse's punch directly dented it.
How could a punch from the Ancient Demon's corpse be so easily blocked?
Back then, Long Shan had indirectly blocked a punch from the Ancient Demon's corpse, but he had still been seriously injured. Long Chen, on the other hand, had taken a punch from the Ancient Demon's corpse head-on. The force of the punch had sent Long Chen flying. He spat out a mouthful of blood and the sound of bones cracking could even be heard from his chest.
Long Chen's body-tempering combat technique was only at the elementary King-level True Martial Demonic Body, which was far inferior to Zhao Danchen's Golden Battle Body. Zhao Danchen might have been able to block a punch from the Ancient Demon's corpse, but Long Chen couldn't. This punch had left Long Chen half-dead.
Cries of surprise rang out from the Martial Emperor City.
They hadn't expected that Long Chen would actually not block it.
He had actually given up on resisting a punch from the Ancient Demon's corpse. If he wasn't a real man, how could he have done this?
A faint look of admiration appeared in their eyes as they watched Long Chen's figure fly away. Of course, there was also some pity. After all, Long Chen, who had originally been on par with Zhao Danchen, had probably lost a lot of his combat strength. It was likely that just Zhao Danchen alone would no longer be a match for Long Chen.
Zhao Danchen had relied on the fact that he was holding Liu Yiyi hostage to easily let Long Chen take a punch and fly more than 30 meters away. He rolled on the ground a few times before Long Chen recovered from the impact. He leaped up and barely managed to stabilize his body. His cold eyes were still fixed on Zhao Danchen. He didn't say a word, but his gaze alone made Zhao Danchen feel a trace of fear.
It was as if the person looking at Zhao Danchen was not a human, but a ferocious beast from ancient times.
A thick trail of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, dyeing his body red.
"Long Chen …" The punch from the Ancient Demon's corpse had shattered Liu Yiyi's heart. She felt that Long Chen was lying when he said that he had a plan. Under such circumstances, how could Long Chen have a plan? Long Chen was almost certain to lose under the Ancient Demon's corpse's punch.
"Zhao Danchen, you despicable piece of trash. You're a coward. You don't dare to fight him fair and square. Instead, you use such despicable means. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the world?" Liu Yiyi shouted at Zhao Danchen.
"Shut up!"
Zhao Danchen shouted at her. Liu Yiyi was right. Zhao Danchen was indeed behaving like a coward. Under such provocation, Zhao Danchen couldn't take it anymore.
Moreover, the people in the direction of Martial Emperor City were also pointing at Zhao Danchen. This feeling of being looked down upon made Zhao Danchen feel like a volcano was accumulating in his chest.
If this had happened in a deserted place, Zhao Danchen could have used Liu Yiyi's threat to take Long Chen's life. However, he couldn't do so outside of Martial Emperor City. Zhao Danchen was also a prideful person. When the Ancient Demon's corpse had injured Long Chen, the overwhelming public opinion had completely ignited his anger.
Moreover, now that Long Chen was seriously injured, would Zhao Danchen still need to use Liu Yiyi to take his life?
The conclusion was undoubtedly no.
"Bitch, just wait and see who's stronger."
Zhao Danchen grinned maliciously. He threw Liu Yiyi to the ground and glared at Long Chen with a fiery gaze. At the same time, he manipulated the Eternal Demon Flag in his hand, wanting to use the Ancient Demon's corpse to control Liu Yiyi.
Long Chen had to die. As for Liu Yiyi, after he killed Long Chen, Zhao Danchen would let her understand who was the strongest man in the Wushu Sage Dynasty. Whether it was outside or in bed, he, Zhao Danchen, was an invincible king.
As for Long Chen, he would forever be defeated by Zhao Danchen.
"Long Chen, I was only playing with you before. I didn't expect that you wouldn't even be able to withstand a single punch from the Ancient Demon's corpse. However, in order to make you give up, I will give you a chance to fight me."
Zhao Danchen said arrogantly.
He had said that he was just playing with Long Chen. Some people who hadn't reached his level might have believed him, but most people knew that Long Chen had lost most of his combat strength because he had played with Long Chen.
After all, the physical body wasn't Long Chen's forte at the moment.
At this time, Zhao Danchen had just put down Liu Yiyi and controlled the Ancient Demon's corpse to imprison Liu Yiyi. Long Chen was still more than 40 meters away.
As Zhao Danchen spoke, the corners of Long Chen's mouth, which was covered in blood, curled into a pleased smile.
His patience had finally paid off.
Long Chen knew Zhao Danchen very well. He had chosen not to make a move previously because he was waiting for this moment. He knew that when Zhao Danchen was looked down upon and looked down upon by many, he would still choose to do it himself. Zhao Danchen had his own pride. If he were to be looked down upon, his impulsiveness would drown out his rationality.
Therefore, Long Chen had succeeded.
When Zhao Danchen put down Liu Yiyi and let the Ancient Demon's corpse imprison Liu Yiyi, Long Chen suddenly turned into a bloody light and appeared beside Zhao Danchen in an instant. He swept up Liu Yiyi, who had escaped from Zhao Danchen's control, and instantly left Zhao Danchen and the Ancient Demon's corpse.
In the next moment, Long Chen appeared more than 20 meters away with Liu Yiyi in his arms.
From the moment Long Chen was injured to the moment Liu Yiyi was rescued, only a very short period of time had passed. Just as Long Chen rescued Liu Yiyi, he first put down Liu Yiyi. Invisible waves rippled out from his chest and a magical time force acted on his body, restoring his body to the state it had been 10 breaths ago.
Ten breaths, ten breaths of time.
These 10 breaths allowed Long Chen's body to return to the state it had been before he had been injured by the Ancient Demon's corpse.
All of this happened in a very short period of time.
Everyone was stunned.
Long Chen had a very strong gambling personality. Of course, he had his own reasons for doing so. A gamble with a reason was no longer a gamble. He had known that Zhao Danchen wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure of public opinion. In the end, Zhao Danchen had indeed released Liu Yiyi.
As long as he released her, Long Chen would have time to rescue Liu Yiyi.
At the same time, Long Chen also took advantage of this time to use Time Reversal to completely restore the serious injuries he had just received to his most perfect state.
After using Time Reversal, Long Chen rescued Liu Yiyi from Zhao Danchen's hands. The process was extremely thrilling, but he had succeeded in the end.
As for Time Reversal, only Liu Yiyi was familiar with it. This was because Long Chen had used Time Reversal to save her life when they had been fleeing in the Ancient Demon Territory.
On top of Martial Emperor City, everyone's expressions were dull and lifeless.
They simply didn't know what had happened in that split second. Long Chen's Time Reversal had been very small, but quite a few people had seen the blood at the corner of his mouth flow back into his mouth. In a very short time, his chest had been caved in, and it had already begun to swell up.
Liu Yiyi had seen the most, so she was also the most shocked. She had never imagined that Long Chen would turn into a bloody light and sweep her up. At that moment, she stared blankly at Long Chen.
"Yiyi, I'm going to officially fight him. I'll put you in a safe place for now. Once I kill him, I'll let you out. How about it?" Long Chen said concisely.
Liu Yiyi hadn't recovered from her shock yet. She stared blankly at Long Chen and nodded blankly. Her trust in Long Chen had reached the point of blind faith. If Long Chen wanted her to commit suicide right now, she would probably agree.
Hence, Long Chen had brought this silly girl into the Great Void Realm.
From now on, he could finally have a good fight.
Long Chen's gaze turned to Zhao Danchen and met Zhao Danchen's gaze, which was filled with anger, humiliation, and confusion.
"You … You actually recovered. You used a Life Combat Technique. What a powerful Life Combat Technique." Zhao Danchen was stunned for a moment before a greedy look appeared on his face.
Such a Life Combat Technique had reached a terrifying level.
Zhao Danchen had never seen such a terrifying Life Combat Technique before.
In fact, he had never even heard of it before.
The two young powerhouses of the Divine Wushu Sage Empire faced off against each other.
The people in the direction of Martial Emperor City were still shrouded in mist.
"How did that Long Chen snatch that girl from Long Chen's hands?"
"Yeah, I didn't even get a clear look before he snatched her away. Also, where did he take that girl?"
"That's strange. Long Chen seems to have a lot of secrets on him."
"What's even more strange is that he was clearly injured just now, and it looked very serious. Why does he seem to have returned to his peak state now?"
No one could answer these questions.
However, they suddenly wondered if something strange would happen today.
For example, if Long Chen killed Zhao Danchen.
Then, who would be in charge of the Divine Wushu Sage Empire?
However, they could only fantasize about this. Even if Long Chen could defeat Zhao Danchen, could he defeat Zhao Danchen and the Ancient Demon's corpse working together?
However, what they didn't know was that the Ancient Demon's corpse actually had a drawback. That was, Zhao Danchen had to use the Eternal Demon Flag to control the Ancient Demon's corpse. This required him to use only one arm and he also had to be completely focused. In other words, it was impossible for Zhao Danchen and the Ancient Demon's corpse to besiege Long Chen.
It was time for the final showdown between the two young powerhouses.
Zhao Danchen's eyes were filled with all sorts of flames, greed, hatred, and so on. As for Long Chen, there was only one kind of indifference in his eyes.
