Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

After the cold snort rang out, a new group of figures emerged from the transportation formation behind Long Chen and Yue Zifeng.

They wore rainbow-colored robes, with bows slung across their backs. What stood out most were the headbands on their foreheads, adorned with two seven-colored feathers. These feathers exuded a potent Blood Qi and divine light, unmistakably marking them as original true feathers.

At their forefront stood a tall, striking woman with long, graceful limbs and deep-set eyes. Unfortunately, her beautiful face was clouded in arrogance and contempt, as if all existences were only fit to kneel beneath her feet.

To Long Chen’s surprise, the feathers on her head were the original true feathers of a Divine Emperor.

They were essentially Divine Emperor-level divine weapons. Most intriguingly, countless runes swirled across their surface, suggesting that activating them would unleash unimaginable power.

Her audacity in casually wearing such treasures as mere ornaments was a testament to her extraordinary status. Were it not for that, someone would have tried to steal them. Of course, it was also possible that she was just so powerful that no one dared to try it.

When she appeared, startled cries rang throughout the city. The experts around clearly recognized her.

The senior apprentice-brother Ling was not entirely blind. It was evident that her status was extraordinary, and she held sway over this place. Provoking her would be a grave mistake.

However, Long Chen had insulted him, and his wounded pride demanded retribution. In the end, he refused to let go of his sword, and his words came through his gritted teeth. “This fellow has gone too far. Once I kill him, I will apologize to you.”

This statement could be construed as a compromise. However, the woman’s gaze turned to Long Chen and Yue Zifeng, and she smiled contemptuously.

“First of all, no one can act wildly in my Heaven Demon City, especially not humans. If you dare to attack, I promise you won’t leave Heaven Demon City alive. Secondly, you aren’t a match for the two of them. Even if all of you attack at once, they would just kill you with a flick of the finger.”

“You—!”

Senior apprentice-brother Ling was outraged by her response. She was clearly looking down on them.

“Your petty squabbles are of no concern to me,” the woman said icily. “I simply refuse to let the blood of humans stain my city.”

She clearly disliked humans. Of course, that included Long Chen and Yue Zifeng.

Senior apprentice-brother Ling gritted his teeth even harder. While he couldn’t see how strong Long Chen and Yue Zifeng were, he knew he couldn’t provoke this woman. After all, the latter possessed two Divine Emperor-level original true feathers.

“You two, if you have the guts, come with me outside the city and we’ll see who’s stronger!” shouted senior apprentice-brother Ling.

“Not interested. Why would I bother competing with a sesame seed cracker?” replied Long Chen, shaking his head.

“You—!” Senior apprentice-brother Ling almost spat out blood.

Long Chen ignored him and the woman, continuing toward the transportation formation.

“Hold it!” shouted the woman suddenly.

Without saying a word, Long Chen and Yue Zifeng turned around and looked at her.

“What are your names?” she asked coldly.

“Does it have anything to do with you?” Long Chen replied flatly.

The woman instantly frowned. With her status, everyone had always treated her with reverence, so Long Chen’s defiance annoyed her. Her interest in Long Chen and Yue Zifeng was an acknowledgment of their strength, but Long Chen’s indifference felt like a slap to the face.

One of the people beside that woman pointed at Long Chen and shouted, “Idiot, do you know who she is?! She is the princess of the Heavenly Demon Divine Phoe—!”

Pow!

Long Chen’s slap sent the man flying before he could finish. He hit the ground unconscious, blood trickling from his mouth.

“You’re the idiot. Who cares about a princess? What does it have to do with me?” sneered Long Chen.

“Courting death!” snarled the woman, her fury palpable.

Long Chen’s slap shocked everyone, as no one had expected him to dare to attack them.

“Do you believe me if I say I won’t let you leave Heaven Demon City alive?!” shouted the woman furiously.

“Do you believe me if I say I will erase the Heaven Demon City from the nine heavens and ten lands?” responded Long Chen icily.

His expression was calm, but the flames of fury had ignited within him. He could ignore these clowns from the High Heaven Sword God Sect, but this woman of the demon race irritated him.

He could have gone around this city, but that would have wasted a whole day of travel. Furthermore, going around it would mean he didn’t dare to face it—that wasn’t his style, right?

To save time, he had chosen to ignore the irritating looks and provocations of the demon race.

However, this woman seemed intent on causing trouble for him. Her subordinate had even pointed at his face.

If she threw out a firm threat, he’d reply in kind. If she wanted to play, he’d play.

“Big words! To say such things on the territory of my Heaven Demon Alliance… let’s see if you can back them up!”

Just then, an ancient voice rang out, shaking the world with Emperor might.

“It’s a Divine Emperor!” shouted someone.

This level of might was practically above the heavens and transcended the natural laws of the world. Only a Divine Emperor could do this. Long Chen’s words had drawn the attention of some terrifying expert within the city.

“Then I’ll try it,” Long Chen sneered, raising his hand.

When Evilmoon materialized in Long Chen’s grasp, a surge of black qi erupted, saturating the city with the aura of death.

This dark, sinister, and bloodthirsty energy reverberated deep within the souls of everyone present. Having absorbed the malevolent essence of the Dragon Domain battle, Evilmoon had become unimaginably horrifying. The moment it appeared, the heavens dimmed, and the earth trembled as if the very world recoiled from its presence.

A sharp pain pierced the souls of all who bore witness, regardless of their cultivation base. It felt as though an invisible blade was pressing against their necks, threatening to sever their lives with the slightest motion.

At this moment, the arrogant woman and the disciples of the High Heaven Sword God Sect quivered in fear. They finally realized how terrifying of an existence they had provoked.

BOOM!

Evilmoon stabbed into the ground, and countless evil runes lit up on its blade, erupting with apocalyptic might.

“Wait! Stop!”

The ancient voice rang out again, this time tinged with panic. As the void quivered, an elder materialized in the sky, his presence rippling with urgency.
