"Just like this? What's the plan? How are we supposed to cooperate?" Luo Changwu jumped in shock. Prepare themselves? What were they supposed to prepare?
Black lightning appeared on top of Long Chen's left hand. He smiled. "There's no plan. I'll break the formation and immediately eliminate the idiots from the Bloodkill Hall. Bai Xiaole, bring them into the formation. Archers, ignore everything else other than blindly shooting at those altars. Take advantage of the chaos to destroy those altars. I don't know what method they're using, but they're trying to summon lifeforms out of the Netherworld. If those lifeforms descend, it will be too late for anything else. We'll have to be pragmatic about it when the time comes. If we can fight, we'll fight. If we can't, we'll run. But the altars must be broken."
After saying that, Long Chen shot off. He descended out of the sky, his left hand chopping towards the formation. Black lightning exploded.
Long Chen was like an arrow. These terrifying formations were as weak as paper in front of the black lightning. Over ten layers of defense were instantly pierced.
BOOM!
Long Chen smashed into the building where the Bloodkill Hall's experts were gathered. The building instantly collapsed.
"World Extermination Flame Lotus!"
A flame lotus in Long Chen's hand exploded, and flames devoured that entire building. It happened so fast that the Bloodkill Hall's experts were still in the midst of discussing something when the flame lotus exploded.
An ear-piercing alarm rang out throughout the entire Chu family. Long Chen was so fast that the flame lotus exploded first, and the alarm rang second.
Within the endless flames, a wretched figure flew out. However, just as he escaped the flames, a black saber pierced through his back and out his chest.
Blood splashed. Long Chen's figure appeared behind that person. "Didn't you say that I couldn't find your true body? Now are you convinced?"
With a light quiver, that elder of the Bloodkill Hall was blasted into blood mist. At that moment, a translucent figure flew out of his body and tried to flee.
However, that figure was then shattered by another stroke of Long Chen's saber.
"Idiot, after condensing a clone, your Yuan Spirit is no longer whole. Did you think that you could escape? Were you dreaming?" sneered Long Chen.
After killing that elder's Yuan Spirit, using his saber as the bridge, Long Chen went through the fragments of his soul, trying to grasp some images.
In those images, he saw the elder exchanging some things with the Chu family. Then the altars were constructed. Then someone came bringing some strange things from the devil sea.
Based on those images, the Chu family's actions this time were incited by the Bloodkill Hall. Through those fragmentary images, he could get a general guess of what had happened.
This was clearly a scheme where the Bloodkill Hall was using the Chu family's enmity with the Luo family to draw Long Chen out. Considering Long Chen's close relationship with the Luo family, and that the Chu family was also mortal enemies with Long Chen, he definitely wouldn't just sit still while the Chu family was making things hard on the Luo family. After all, youngsters all felt like they were capable of anything…
Once Long Chen was outside of the High Firmament Academy, they would have no misgivings. After all, the High Firmament Academy was an extremely powerful existence, and they didn't dare to attack him inside. But outside, everything was possible.
Unfortunately, the Luo family had a terrifying Immortal King like Luo Zichuan standing guard over it. They didn't dare to directly attack there. Thus, the Bloodkill Hall had come prepared. They had constructed these altars to summon the Netherworld's Devil Kings to handle Luo Zichuan, wiping out Long Chen together with the Luo family. That way, even the High Firmament Academy couldn't interfere. After all, this was a personal grievance between the Luo family and the Chu family. The High Firmament Academy had no excuse to interfere.
This was a well calculated scheme. Although Long Chen was unaware of all of it, just these images allowed him to guess this much.
"Enemy attack!"
Shouts rang out throughout the Chu family. One of those shouters was silenced just as he spoke, an arrow protruding through his head. That Divine Lord was killed with a single arrow.
Just as the formations were broken, Bai Xiaole seized the opportunity to silently bring everyone over to the altars.
There was no need for orders. Three hundred elite archers unleashed a torrent of arrows. The Divine Lords on the altars were indiscriminately shot at.
They shot those wooden arrows as if they cost nothing. The Chu family's experts roared and activated their manifestations, but then the wave of arrows struck them. By the time that they reacted, it was too late. Even if they protected themselves with divine energy, it was useless. Their protective divine light was pierced through, and their bodies turned numb.
Quite a few of those experts directly fell to the ground, twitching. Some of them sprouted roots that dug into the ground. It was a terrifying sight.
Hundreds of Divine Lords collapsed. The other experts of the Chu family were shocked, and immediately took out their weapons, activating their bloodline powers. Saber-light flashed like lightning, sword-images filled the air like mountains, all collapsing on the Luo family's experts.
The Primal Divine Lords unleashed their full power. Space collapsed, and those arrows flying through space were no longer able to reach them.
"Archers fall to the rear and continue shooting. Don't let them get close!" shouted Qin Feng.
The initial wave could only have such a large effect. Once the other side was prepared, the wooden arrows were no longer so threatening.
The alarm of the Chu family continued to ring out. The Chu family's experts and the experts of sects subordinate to them had to be rushing over. These archers were in charge of buying them some time against them.
Luo Changwu, Luo Changwen, the Grand Elder, and the other Primal Divine Lords charged as well.
Suddenly, the void shuddered, and the world changed color. A giant black saber-image soared into the heavens, slashing down like an unstoppable heavenly blade.
Luo Changwu and Luo Changwen almost shouted when they saw that Saber Qi. They thought that their father had come. That domineering aura of the saber was actually quite similar to Luo Zichuan.
The saber slashed down like a starry river, slaying all the Chu family's experts that were in their way. There were countless people who were blasted apart.
After the saber fell, one of the totems on the altar shattered. The altar instantly dimmed.
After breaking one totem, Long Chen rushed towards the next one.
"Stop him!"
The Chu family's experts shouted in a panic. These five totems had almost exhausted the resources they had gathered for countless years. If they were destroyed, all their efforts would be for nothing.
"Can you stop me though?" sneered Long Chen.
A Primal Divine Lord had only just reached Long Chen when Long Chen's body swayed. Just like that, he flew past him with a flash of black light. That expert came to a stop. A line of blood appeared down the middle of his body. Following that, his body split apart. He was cut in two.
