Chapter 379: Instant Kill

'People from the Celestial Profound Sacred Land again!'

Shen Daoxing's brow furrowed slightly.

Because of Mola, this region had already attracted the attention of powerful, hidden figures from many factions.

Shen Daoxing had no time to waste here. More importantly, he couldn't expose his identity, nor the existence of the Venerable Domain and Elder Blood Dragon within him.

Beside him, Lv Yunsheng was also stunned. He hadn't expected to run into Shen Daoxing like this. Seeing Zhou Chen draw his sword, Lv Yunsheng took a step forward, wanting to say something.

"Shen Daoxing, there's no escape for you today!"

Zhou Chen shouted coldly. The sword in his hand flared with brilliant light and transformed into a streak of light, thrusting forward with unstoppable momentum.

It was about to pierce Shen Daoxing.

A white arc flashed across the sky.

"CLANG!"

The sound of metal striking metal rang out.

Dongfang Wan'Er had suddenly appeared in front of Shen Daoxing, her sword raised to block Zhou Chen's attack.

At this, Zhou Chen paused. He stared at Dongfang Wan'Er, his cold voice slowly ringing out, "Junior Sister Wan'Er, what are you doing? He is the Celestial Slaughter Star! The Evil Demon who will destroy our East Continent in the future."

Hearing this, Dongfang Wan'Er shook her head indifferently. "Senior Brother, others may not know, but you and I should be well aware. This 'Evil Demon of the East Continent' is nothing but an excuse for the Sacred Land to kill Shen Daoxing."

Zhou Chen's expression slowly turned cold. "Junior Sister, are you suggesting that our Celestial Profound Sacred Land is in the wrong?"

Dongfang Wan'Er paused, then silently shook her head. "No. I just think it's too reckless to pin such a baseless crime on someone because of a vague prophecy! It should be thoroughly investigated!"

Zhou Chen looked at Dongfang Wan'Er indifferently. "Junior Sister, this is a prophecy that our Master Xuan received at the foot of the Celestial God Stone. It is a divine revelation from our Sacred Land's Immortal Spirit. Are you questioning the Immortal Spirit our Sacred Land has served for generations?"

Dongfang Wan'Er was taken aback. "No, Senior Brother, that's not what I mean."

Zhou Chen's face was now dark. "Junior Sister, if that's the case, then get out of my way. If you don't, then don't blame me for being merciless."

Dongfang Wan'Er's brows knitted deeply, seemingly lost in a state of great conflict. But in the end, she did not move aside.

By now, Zhou Chen's face had completely darkened. He paid Dongfang Wan'Er no more heed, raised his sword, and bypassed her, transforming into a shadow of light as he lunged toward Shen Daoxing.

Seeing this, Dongfang Wan'Er froze for a moment, then quickly swung her sword with a SWOOSH, intercepting Zhou Chen's attack.

While Zhou Chen and Dongfang Wan'Er were clashing, Luo An, who couldn't understand what was happening at all, looked completely baffled. "Shen Daoxing? Celestial Slaughter Demon Star? The Evil Demon who will destroy the East Continent?"

He then turned to Shen Daoxing in a daze. "Yang, what's going on?"

Hearing this, Zhou Chen's eyes swept coolly over the crowd. "This Shen Daoxing is the Celestial Slaughter Demon Star, the main culprit behind the future destruction of our East Continent. If you don't want to end up suffering a miserable death like him, you'd best sever all ties with him now."

But as soon as Zhou Chen said this, everyone except the baffled Luo An gave him a strange look.

Then, they all quickly took a few steps back, putting distance between themselves and Zhou Chen.

Tao Sheng, who had already met up with Tao Ying, couldn't help but ask curiously, "Sister, how did you end up with him?"

Tao Ying turned to her brother and said with sudden earnestness, "Brother, my safe escape from the Red Land Demon Realm and the removal of my curse are all thanks to Young Master Shen."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Tao Sheng's eyes lit up, his interest in Shen Daoxing growing.

Then, he suddenly grew excited. "Hehehe, in that case, Sister, should we go and lend a hand?"

Hearing this, Tao Ying looked confused. "Lend a hand? With what?"

And on the other side.

"CLANG!"

The heavy sound of metal on metal rang out again.

Zhou Chen struck out as a streak of light, only to be blocked by a direct swing of Dongfang Wan'Er's sword.

Zhou Chen's expression grew uglier. "Junior Sister, get out of the way! If you continue to be so stubborn, then don't blame your Senior Brother for disregarding our shared bond and being merciless!"

Hearing this, Dongfang Wan'Er said nothing, merely continuing to silently block the way in front of Shen Daoxing.

All of a sudden, Zhou Chen's face darkened. With no discernible movement, just a flicker of an afterimage...

Zhou Chen vanished from before Dongfang Wan'Er. The next moment, he had reappeared behind Shen Daoxing, high up in the sky.

Immediately, Zhou Chen shone with a blinding light. His robes fluttered in the sky, making him look like a Sword Immortal. He simply extended two fingers and pointed forward.

"SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!"

In an instant, silvery-white Light Sabers appeared before him. They circled his fingers, spinning continuously to form a ring of swords. Then, like a rain of swords falling from the heavens, the silvery-white blades descended, emitting a dazzling light.

Alarmed, Dongfang Wan'Er's figure flickered, and she hurriedly moved to intercept the attack between Shen Daoxing and Zhou Chen.

"CHIRP!"

A loud, clear bird cry suddenly rang out from within Dongfang Wan'Er.

The next moment, the phantom of a brilliant, fiery red Profound Bird flew out of her body. Wreathed in roaring flames, it soared into the sky to meet the sword rain.

Seeing this, Zhou Chen's eyes narrowed. In that illusory instant, the roar of a Flood Dragon seemed to echo.

Immediately, the phantom of a colossal Flood Dragon appeared behind Zhou Chen.

"ROAR!"

With a furious roar toward the sky, the Flood Dragon took flight, as if bringing down a surging tide from above.

Instantly, the brilliant Profound Bird let out a sorrowful cry. Its flames vanished, and it shattered with a bang.

"BOOM!"

A massive explosion.

Under the impact of the Flood Dragon, Dongfang Wan'Er was thrown high into the air and sent flying far away.

Then.

"ROAR!"

A clear dragon's cry resounded through the sky.

"Celestial Slaughter Demon Star! Die!"

Zhou Chen suddenly moved. He grabbed a silvery-white Light Saber from the air and dove downward like a blazing meteor, bringing the colossal Flood Dragon and the rain of swords crashing down on Shen Daoxing.

Seeing this, the hearts of both Lv Yunsheng and Dongfang Wan'Er skipped a beat. They didn't dare to watch.

Yet Shen Daoxing just stood there. He simply reached out, patted the Great Ming Demon Sparrow on his back, and then lowered his hand, as if he had done nothing at all.

The next moment.

Zhou Chen's figure froze in mid-air.

ZZZT! ZZZT! ZZZT!

Black arcs of electricity flickered.

Suddenly.

One, two, three... hundreds of black sword lights appeared around Zhou Chen without any warning. With a flash of black light, the surrounding space seemed to twist.

"Argh!"

Zhou Chen suddenly screamed, his head thrown back, and spat out a large mouthful of blood.

The next moment.

Countless Sword Marks appeared on his body. He shattered, breaking into pieces, and along with his Flood Dragon and sword rain, tumbled limply to the ground.

In a single instant, without even touching Shen Daoxing, Zhou Chen was dead.

"Huh???"

"Huh???"

Instantly, both Lv Yunsheng and Dongfang Wan'Er were stunned. They slowly turned to stare at Shen Daoxing in utter shock.
