Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

BOOM!

Starlight exploded, but regrettably, Li Jiuyao did not die. A mysterious law power had enveloped him, saving his life.

Even though he was still alive, his body was barely holding together. His flesh was badly damaged, making him look like a skinned beast.

The unconscious Li Jiuyao was held up by a single hand.

“Sect master!” The Zither Sect’s experts shouted in relief when they saw who was holding Li Jiuyao.

Cao Yiyang’s avatar had fully recovered. In fact, his aura was even stronger than before.

“Go kill the others. I will handle Long Chen!” Cao Yiyang ordered, his tone savage.

“Yes!”

The four Music Maestros and surviving disciples immediately flew toward Chi Yutong and the others.

In response, Chi Yutong, Yan Li, Huo Linger, Lei Linger, as well as Jing Jing and the Wine God Palace’s disciples unleashed their full power to fight back.

Chi Yutong and Yan Li were no longer who they used to be. Their power had grown to a truly frightening level.

The twelve disciples of the Wine God Palace moved swiftly, their swords flashing. Several Zither Sect experts fell instantly to their sharp Sword Qi.

Seeing this, the Zither Sect’s disciples realized that these people were no easy targets. Fighting Huo Linger, Lei Linger, and Jing Jing, even the four Music Maestros couldn’t get the upper hand.

Meanwhile, the Dark Feather Blaze Devil stood there patiently with Xin Yu on its head. Her eyes focused on Cao Yiyang.

Xin Yu felt both excited and nervous. She was not a fighter and had never faced a real battle like this before.

Now, she was up against the Zither Sect’s sect master, an overlord from the primal chaos era. If word got out, the Spirit Heart Sect would no longer be a nameless group unqualified for the Divine Assembly.

Still, Xin Yu didn’t have much combat experience. Most of her strength came from the Dark Feather Blaze Devil, and she wasn’t used to cooperating with it. Hence, she didn’t dare act on her own and waited for Long Chen’s orders.

Since Long Chen hadn’t told her to help Chi Yutong, she stayed put. She tried to look calm and mysterious, but inside she was panicking. However, it was understandable. She lacked confidence and worried she couldn’t keep up with Long Chen, afraid that she would slow him down.

“Long Chen, I won’t kill you. But I’ll make you wish I had!”

Cao Yiyang gnashed his teeth. His usually calm demeanor was on the verge of exploding.

The Zither Sect had been completely humiliated in this battle. Even after they had set up their strongest defenses, someone still broke in and took half of the Heavenly Devil Zither.

On top of that, the sect master himself had half his body swallowed, and their top genius, the Music Grandmaster, was beaten badly. If Cao Yiyang hadn’t acted in time, Li Jiuyao would have become Long Chen’s hostage.

“Cao Yiyang, you targeted my woman with the intention to exterminate her soul. There is no room for reconciliation, so you don’t need to threaten me. As I said before, plenty of people want to kill me. We just have to see if you have that ability!” Long Chen retorted, summoning Evilmoon in his hand once more.

Astral energy converged within Evilmoon. Seeing this, Long Chen felt like he really had to thank the three-leaf golden lotus. Without it, his astral energy would have already run out, and he would be a fish on the chopping board.

Now, he still had half his astral energy left, giving him a chance to win against Cao Yiyang. Even if the odds were slim, Long Chen never gave up as long as there was a chance.

“Fool, you Sovereign Lords don’t understand true laws. I’ll show you law power that will make you feel despair!” Cao Yiyang roared.

He slammed his hands together, and a ripple of energy spread out of him. When the ripple reached Long Chen, a zither’s sound exploded in his mind. His thoughts churned wildly.

Worst of all, he couldn’t dodge it. Long Chen’s whole body was set ablaze as countless law runes wrapped around him, holding him in place.

This zither sound contains law power!

Long Chen’s expression completely changed. He was finally witnessing the terrifying power of a primal chaos era overlord.

Cao Yiyang wasn’t the master of the Heavenly Devil Zither, but he could still use its power. He had combined it with his own law power, creating a force capable of wiping out all life.

A single zither note was enough to cut the link between Long Chen’s body and soul. He could only watch as the law runes bound him.

At that critical moment, the Dark Feather Blaze Devil rushed in. Its wings thundered with power as it charged at Cao Yiyang.

Even though Xin Yu wasn’t experienced in battle, her spirit heart arts were sharp. She sensed Long Chen was in danger and quickly sent the Dark Feather Blaze Devil at Cao Yiyang.

“Damn!” Cao Yiyang cursed.

The Dark Feather Blaze Devil was also an overlord of the primal chaos era with its own law essence. Even if it was just a puppet, its power was absolutely terrifying.

Most importantly, the puppet’s spirituality had not awoken fully, so Cao Yiyang’s sound law had no effect on it.

“You beast, scram!” Cao Yiyang roared.

As he unleashed a palm strike, a booming sound rang out.

The Dark Feather Blaze Devil was sent flying. As a puppet, it couldn’t match Cao Yiyang’s strength. But Cao Yiyang didn’t escape unharmed. The impact nearly made him cough up blood, since he was only a law avatar.

Right after that, the air suddenly tore open and countless vines wrapped around him.

“World Destroying Ghost Vine!” Cao Yiyang shouted, looking frightened.

Having lived countless years, he recognized this legendary existence. Millions of vines tightened around him, and for once, he truly felt a terrifying sense of danger.

Zhi Zhi had been saving its power, waiting for its chance to strike. It knew it had only one shot and used all its power in a single attack to try to kill Cao Yiyang.

“Break!” Cao Yiyang howled.

Law runes flashed over his body, forming strange diagrams around him.

Those vines were blown apart. Even with all of Zhi Zhi’s power, it still wasn’t enough to hold Cao Yiyang down.

However, Cao Yiyang looked pale after breaking free. He had used up a lot of his strength to escape Zhi Zhi’s bindings.

As bits of Zhi Zhi’s vines flew through the air, Long Chen’s roar rang out.

“You old fogey, face your death! Star Meteor!”

A massive star suddenly crashed down from the heavens.

Cao Yiyang was both shocked and furious. He hadn’t expected Long Chen to break free from his technique so quickly.

The Dark Feather Blaze Devil’s sneak attack, Zhi Zhi’s binding, and now Long Chen’s ultimate move came one after another, leaving him no time to react.

“Damn!” Cao Yiyang slammed his hands together in anger. Just as he was about to use his last bit of power to block the attack, he heard a woman’s voice.

“Spirit Heart Lock!”

Cao Yiyang’s body froze. Just like Long Chen earlier, he suddenly couldn’t move.

BOOM!

The giant star swallowed the frozen Cao Yiyang in an instant. Wild astral energy ripped through the battlefield.
