Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Chapter 1016: Chapter 52: Another Lifeless True Saint? (Part 2)

“Clang!”

Chong Xu blocked the move for the Shi Ming Saint Emperor.

After all, since the war began, both sides have exchanged moves quite a few times. Even though each clash was brief, Chong Xu still had a decent understanding of Wang Sheng’s basic methods.

Spatial techniques, impossible to defend against.

Therefore, when Wang Sheng appeared, his spirit was highly focused.

It was this concentration that allowed him to directly block the assassination move.

But even though he blocked the killing strike, his expression remained very grave.

The Lifeless True Saint is very powerful!

This was Chong Xu’s first realization, even stronger than he had imagined. If he fought alone, he likely would not be an equal match.

Thinking of this, he quickly made up his mind.

“Prepare to retreat at any time, we’ve failed this time. We can’t let the losses grow larger.”

Chong Xu secretly transmitted his voice with Secret Technique.

With Wang Sheng’s appearance, there was no need for the plan to continue, and with the Shi Ming Saint Emperor gravely wounded, dragging it out would surely result in defeat, and maybe they would lose a top-tier Saint Emperor.

This was unacceptable for them.

All the Devouring Sect’s Saint Emperors received the information and began to gradually shift the way they fought.

The Conquest Sect’s Saint Emperors started to press the Devouring Sect’s Saint Emperors in battle.

This was a matter of morale.

Without Wang Sheng, the Conquest Sect might lose a top-tier Saint Emperor, causing the situation to collapse. Therefore, the Conquest Sect’s Saint Emperors fought with some hesitation, instinctively trying to preserve their lives. The Devouring Sect’s morale soared, knowing a success on their side would mean complete overturn, so they attacked fiercely.

Now, however, the situation reversed.

Wang Sheng’s appearance was the best morale booster.

Therefore, when Chong Xu notified them about retreating, none of the Saint Emperors opposed.

Of course, retreating wasn’t that simple.

The Devouring Sect wanted to seize this opportunity, but the Conquest Sect was no different.

Just leaving behind one top-tier Saint Emperor would be enough to completely change the situation.

Yuanhua unleashed all his power, directly holding down Chong Xu and You Ming.

Leaving Shi Ming as the only Saint Emperor facing Wang Sheng.

At this moment, Yuanhua could naturally sense the state of Chong Xu and You Ming.

“What’s this? You haven’t exerted your full power. Are you planning to retreat? Retreating isn’t that easy… those were your own words.”

Yuanhua returned Chong Xu’s words back to him.

After all, he had been fighting three against one earlier, and even though he knew Wang Sheng was behind him, ensuring no mishap, the damage received was still real.

Chong Xu ignored Yuanhua.

He was under great pressure now, not just the pressure of retreating but also protecting Shi Ming.

After all, losing even one top-tier Saint Emperor would be extremely disadvantageous for them.

Unfortunately, with Yuanhua having prepared plans for so long, he’d certainly not let them leave easily.

“Trying to save someone?”

Seeing there was no breakout, Chong Xu said with a stern face, “Yuanhua, don’t be too arrogant. The expansion speed of that cluster of grievances is something you should know. Every moment, it grows stronger, and at that time, the first to face annihilation might not be us.”

The grievances indeed first attacked the Devouring Sect’s powerhouses.

But there had to be Devouring Sect powerhouses near the grievances for it to attack them.

Chong Xu didn’t believe Yuanhua was not anxious at all.

But clearly, Yuanhua intended to disappoint him, as Yuanhua was truly not anxious, saying, “Hehe, Chong Xu seems more anxious than us…”

Seeing Yuanhua remain unaffected, Chong Xu had no choice but to quietly sigh internally. This time, they were utterly defeated.

Trapped and outmaneuvered.

’It seems I have to use that thing…’

As the master of a top-tier power, his trump cards were beyond imagination.

It was only that he hadn’t wanted to utilize them so early.

A crystal stone appeared in Chong Xu’s hand.

As soon as he took it out, the stone emitted rays of light, almost instantly enveloping Shi Ming, who was being targeted by Wang Sheng.

“Go!”

In an instant, the original spatial confinement was broken.

Chong Xu was the first to flee.

Shi Ming, who was originally in dire straits, appeared beside him.

“Thank you, Clan Leader Chong Xu…”

Shi Ming expressed gratitude; he had nearly died earlier.

Chong Xu remained silent; they had already escaped a considerable distance, gazing distantly at the Saint Emperors of the Conquest Sect.

At such a distance, even if the Conquest Sect’s Saint Emperors caught up, they wouldn’t be able to affect them.

They could easily make their getaway.

However, not all Saint Emperors managed to leave successfully; three ordinary Saint Emperors were left behind directly.

“Yuanhua, we lost this time, but next time, you won’t have such an opportunity!”

After saying that, he turned to leave.

In their current condition, they needed to return and recover.

But just at the moment he turned, he noticed Yuanhua seemingly had a smile at the corner of his mouth.

As a top-tier Saint Emperor, even across a Star Domain, if he focused, he could see clearly.

He didn’t think it was his imagination.

For a moment, he felt something was off.

“What do you think, Hei Yuan?” Finally, Chong Xu looked at Hei Yuan.

The only one qualified to stand as his equal here was Hei Yuan.

Hei Yuan’s feeling was the same as his.

“It’s odd, we left too easily. It seems that Yuanhua and his group never intended to stop us from leaving or perhaps deliberately wanted us gone.”

Chong Xu nodded; he shared the same thought.

If he had seized such an opportunity, even if the opponent was retreating, he would never let them go easily.

Of course, there was another possibility.

“Perhaps they want to deal with the grievances…”

But just as he spoke, a massive Fist Mark appeared in the Void.

A sense of crisis arose in Chong Xu and Hei Yuan’s hearts, instinctively wanting to block it.

But the Fist Mark was never aimed at them.

It was aimed at Shi Ming!

Shi Ming, having escaped death, relaxed internally after being saved by Chong Xu, focusing solely on recovering his injuries.

All his defenses were directed towards the Conquest Sect.

If there was any movement from that side, he would escape with all his might.

But since his rescue, the Conquest Sect had made no move.

His heart deeply exhaled in relief.

Because of this, he was almost unprepared for the sudden attack.

The Fist Mark exploded with terrifying Fist Force, shocking Shi Ming’s spirit instantly, his eyes seeming to see a majestic figure that connected heaven and earth.

That figure casually threw a punch, annihilating his will.

Along with his will, his body was eradicated as well.

One punch, a top-tier Saint Emperor wiped out.

Chong Xu and Hei Yuan were momentarily stunned.

So powerful!

Another top-tier Saint Emperor, not inferior to the Lifeless True Saint, perhaps even stronger.

’Who is it?’

No time was given for them to think.

After Shi Ming was obliterated, another iron fist descended.

The target was You Ming.

You Ming, despite being a top-tier Saint Emperor.

Attempted defense.

Chong Xu and Hei Yuan tried to save him.

But at the same time, a voice rang out.

“Friends Chong Xu and Hei Yuan, how could we not see you off if you’re leaving?”

Yuanhua and others had appeared at some unknown time.

Instantly blocking Chong Xu, Hei Yuan, and the remaining top-tier Saint Emperor.

Chong Xu and Hei Yuan’s attempt to assist failed.

Or rather, their attempt was already too late.

You Ming already struggled against the Fist Mark, and during his resistance, a spear directly pierced him through.

The Destruction Spear and Fist Mark shone together, and You Ming didn’t hold out for long.

Another top-tier Saint Emperor fell.

But it wasn’t over.

After You Ming’s fall, the last top-tier Saint Emperor, aside from Chong Xu and Hei Yuan, faced a siege.

This top-tier Saint Emperor encountered a situation similar to Yuanhua’s.

Attacked by three parties.

But he was not like Yuanhua Saint Emperor, able to withstand the attack from three top-tier Saint Emperors.

Unable to hold out for long, he was also obliterated by a punch.

The Old Land Starry Sky saw three Saint Emperors fall within a short time.

All the Devouring Sect’s Saint Emperors were terrified.

How horrifying!

That top-tier Saint Emperors could fall like this.

Even Chong Xu and Hei Yuan felt panic internally.

The situation was desperately out of control!

Chong Xu clearly understood that the Conquest Sect had already added a fifth top-tier Saint Emperor!

But where did this fifth top-tier Saint Emperor come from?

Soon, he knew.

A figure appeared, landing beside the Lifeless True Saint. The Lifeless True Saint’s spear also landed in that figure’s hand.

And the visage of the figure—

Upon seeing it, Chong Xu’s heart trembled.

Another Lifeless True Saint?!!
