Chapter 2276 Attacking the Netherpassage Realm

Long Chen appeared in front of the sword, holding Dong Mingyu. The sword landed, and he felt the bones in his back shatter.

However, at that critical moment, Long Chen had taken out the Heaven Flipping Seal to protect his back. The sword had landed on the Heaven Flipping Seal, or Long Chen would have been cut in two.

Even with the Heaven Flipping Seal, Long Chen felt like his body was going to break apart. This persons power was terrifying, and he was so fast that there was no time for Long Chen to do anything but use the most basic and clumsiest way to save Dong Mingyu.

Long Chen and Dong Mingyu tumbled back, with the Heaven Flipping Seal growing larger and slamming into that person.

BOOM!

The Heaven Flipping Seal was sent flying. Even it was unable to stop this persons footsteps. Waves of divine light surged out of the sword as it once more slashed down.

Ye Benchang!

Long Chen suddenly let out a shout and glared at that person. Although he wore a cloak and even had a sinister mask on, his eyes werent covered.

When their eyes met, that persons sword slanted down slightly, while Long Chen sent Evilmoon rushing forward toward his opponents head. It was a sudden suicidal exchange.

Long Chen concentrated all his power into Evilmoon. As long as he stabbed it into his opponents head, then even with that masks protection, Long Chen was confident his head would explode.

Considering how long Evilmoon was, although Long Chens piercing strike was unleashed second, due to the slightest sluggishness from when Long Chen had shouted at him, his opponents sword would only land at the same time as Long Chens saber pierced his head.

The mysterious expert snorted and didnt continue slashing. He directly smashed the hilt of his sword into Evilmoon.

Long Chen was sent flying once more, hacking up blood containing his shattered organs.

Whos there?!

At this time, the Heavenly Dragon Legions people recognized Long Chen and charged over, unleashing rays of Sword Qi at the mysterious expert.

The mysterious expert was already rushing over to Dong Mingyu, but he didnt have a chance to attack again. He raised his sword at an angle, shattering the attacks raining down on him.

His figure twisted, and before the Heavenly Dragon Legion could surround him, he shot away, vanishing from sight.

Big brother Long Chen, are you alright?! Dong Mingyu rushed over to Long Chen. One of her arms was still gone and she was covered in blood. As for Long Chen, he could barely sit up.

The Heavenly Dragon Legions warriors were shocked. Long Chens combat power had left a deep impression on them, while Dong Mingyu was a terrifying assassin. What person could force them into such a desperate state?

In the distance, the Blood races experts simply stared in dumbfounded silence, not understanding what was going on. Long Chen had managed to escape their blockade but was almost killed upon reaching his own territory.

Long Chens bones creaked. He circulated the primal chaos spaces energy to recover a bit. Only then could he stand. He cupped his fists at everyone. Many thanks for your help. Without your assistance, Id probably have died today. Ill remember this favor.

Long Chens words were sincere. Without the Heavenly Dragon Legion here, he and Dong Mingyu would have died. That mysterious expert was too powerful.

Long Chen, who was that person? You shouted that it was commander Ye Benchang, but are you sure? asked one of them.

Long Chen shook his head. Actually, it was just a blind guess. Ive only fought with one expert on that level, and it was Ye Benchang. But that person didnt react to my guess, so its probably not him.

Dong Mingyu looked at Long Chen. Long Chen silently tightened his hold on her hand, indicating that she should be silent.

That person nodded. He really was powerful. But based on his techniques, he shouldnt be commander Ye Benchang. Weve seen him fight, and his fighting style is different from the insidious, concentrated power that person showed. That person seems more like an assassin, and he was targeting this young lady. He was more like someone from the Bloodkill Hall

Thats very possible. In any case, youve saved our lives. I wont bother saying extra words. Ill remember this, promised Long Chen.

Alright then. Well escort you. Youre still injured, so its best to be careful, said that person.

Long Chen didnt decline. They sent out a five-hundred-member squad to protect Long Chen on his way back to the Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow races nest.

When Long Chen was back, everyone was shocked. When the Dragonblood warriors heard that he had been ambushed, they were infuriated.

Who was that person? asked Chu Yao as she and Liu Ruyan helped heal Long Chen and Dong Mingyus wounds.

It was definitely Ye Benchang, said Long Chen.

Didnt the Heavenly Dragon Legions warriors say that it wasnt him? The divine families people must have seen him fight before and be familiar with his fighting style. Would they lie about this? asked Chu Yao.

No, they werent covering up for Ye Benchang. They also couldnt be colluding with Ye Benchang, or they wouldnt have saved us at that critical time.

Then, what are you saying?

The reason Im sure its Ye Benchang isnt because of his aura or his fighting style, its from the intuition of the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art. His disguise was perfect. Even his eyes were different. They seemed dark and wise, completely different from his normal idiotic appearance. Its because my Nine Star Hegemon Body Art told me that he was Ye Benchang that I shouted his name. When I did, he clearly reacted ever so slightly, so Im sure it was Ye Benchang.

Long Chen had absolute confidence in the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art. Ye Benchang might be able to fool anyone else, but he couldnt fool the spiritual perception of the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art.

If it really was Ye Benchang, why would he attack Yu-er and not boss directly? asked Gu Yang.

Meng Qi was the one who answered. Long Chen would fight back if the assassin targeted him directly, and he wouldnt be able to kill him within a few moves. But by attacking Yu-er and forcing Long Chen to save her, he managed to have control over the initiative. Those who know Long Chen all know that he would go save Yu-er. Its the smartest tactic.

How despicable, said Guo Ran hatefully.

Most importantly, he didnt leave behind any proof. Even if Long Chen is sure, its not possible to confront Ye Benchang. We can only swallow this loss, sighed Meng Qi.

Gu Yang and the others expressions were ugly. This loss was difficult to swallow. Long Chen had entered the Yin Yang World, and even the Blood races huge army and fourth step Netherpassage experts hadnt been able to stop him. But he had almost died to Ye Benchang.

Ill remember this debt. Ill make sure its repaid along with its interest when the time comes, but well set it aside for now. How is the situation on the continent? asked Long Chen. He had been in the Yin Yang World the past few days so he didnt know the actual information.

The various powers are all silent, and the talented junior generation has vanished. Theyre all in seclusion. They dont announce when theyre going to break through to the Netherpassage realm, but from the news weve received from the Xuantian Dao Sect and the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect, the majority of their disciples are currently attacking the Netherpassage realm. The day after you entered the Yin Yang World, Ye Lingshan also started her breakthrough, said Meng Qi.

Long Chen nodded. In comparison to the geniuses of the other powers, the Righteous path is a level weaker. If the Righteous paths experts are only starting their breakthrough attempt, then the others probably started earlier. Alright then, today, everyone go rest. Tomorrow, we will collectively attack the Netherpassage realm.

Everyone let out a cheer. They had been waiting for this. Just the day before, the final Dragonblood warrior had touched the barrier. Everyone wanted to advance right now.

Only upon advancing to the Netherpassage realm would the immemorial essence blood have any use. They also saw just how powerful experts with awakened Spirit Blood were.

Long Chen, you and Yu-er are still recovering. You might not be ready by tomorrow, said Chu Yao.

Long Chen smiled. Not a problem. This breakthrough will only require our Yuan Spirits to enter the Netherworld. As long as our Yuan Spirits arent injured, its not a problem.

Long Chens body had received heavy injuries, but his soul was fine. Moreover, he also wished to urgently break through. He couldnt get left behind. Only once he broke through would he be able to settle things with Ye Benchang.

To be safe, that very day, Long Chen brought all the Dragonblood warriors into the Wild World. He warned the Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow race to be safe. If any powerful experts attacked, they had set up a way for them to run. Long Chen didnt want anyone to attack them while they were attacking the Netherpassage realm. If the Dragonblood warriors bodies were killed while their souls roamed the Netherworld, they wouldnt be able to return.

From the Wild World, they traveled to the Skyscraping World, reuniting with Yue Xiaoqian. Yue Xihan opened up the Skyscraping Worlds most well-hidden ancestral spirit land for them.

Brothers, lets start!

Once everyone was gathered, Long Chen took a deep breath, closing his eyes with everyone else.
