Chapter 5605 Sacred Light Divine Sect’s Golden Armor Horseman Legion

BOOM!

Qingshuang unleashed a blow at a rank-nine Heaven Saint of the devil race, sending the latter hurtling through the air. Whether she intended to intimidate Long Chen or simply assert her dominance, the sheer force of her attack was undeniable. 

“Tch, is that a warning for me?” Long Chen mused, his lips curling into a faint smile as he heard her voice ring across the battlefield. 

It was clear she wanted him to back off, but her loud declaration only amused him.

“Young lady, there’s no need to shout. I’m not interested in this battle armor, but if you keep threatening me, I might just change my mind,” Long Chen retorted lazily.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“About turn [1]!” shouted Qingshuang, leading her troops to turn around.

Borrowing the force from blowing back a nine-vein Heaven Saint, Qingshuang turned to face Long Chen and charged through the ranks of enemies in her way.

“What do you want?” she demanded, her lance striking down foes even as she addressed him.

“Just call me big brother, and I’ll help you get that battle armor,” proposed Long Chen.

Qingshuang’s expression froze for a moment before twisting in outrage. This man truly didn’t know how to control his mouth. How was he so frivolous?

“Who the hell do you think you are? Foolish humans, you can all die!” shouted a devil expert.

Before Qingshuang could respond, a giant figure appeared in front of Long Chen. Overwhelming devil qi filled the sky, causing the entire world to darken.

The sudden appearance of this hidden threat shocked everyone, including Qingshuang. The devil expert had been concealing his aura, waiting for the perfect moment. Now, with Long Chen in his sights, he unleashed a devastating attack.

“Careful!” Qingshuang shouted instinctively, despite her irritation with Long Chen.

BOOM!

The devil expert opened his mouth, and the nine heaven vein dragon qi behind him instantly dissipated. After that, a blazing pillar of light, formed by nine intertwining dragon figures, erupted from his maw.

This attack wasn’t just powerful—it was insidiously calculated. The devil expert had been biding his time, silently gathering his strength. Now, he unleashed it all in a sudden strike, leaving Long Chen with no chance to react.

But while the devil expert was fast, Long Chen was faster. A starry hand swung through the air, leaving a trail of afterimages before it struck the devil expert in the face just as the pillar of light shot out of his mouth.

The devil expert’s head twisted violently from the impact, sending the pillar of light careening off course. It streaked past Long Chen and tore through the battlefield, annihilating countless members of the devil race.

This was the full, unrestrained might of a nine-vein Heaven Saint. Even the formidable eight-vein Heaven Saints were reduced to ash in the light’s destructive path.

The pillar of light eventually struck the distant barrier and shattered. The next moment, the devil expert coughed up a mouthful of blood as his body started to swell unnaturally. It seemed the backlash from his attack had sent his internal energy spiraling out of control. His eyes widened in terror as he tried to scream, but no sound came out.

Long Chen’s eyes narrowed. He hadn’t expected this outcome. It was clear now that the devil expert’s mastery over his nine veins was far from complete.

In his desperation to kill Long Chen, the devil expert had recklessly unleashed his full power. The backlash, combined with Long Chen’s precise strike, had ignited the volatile energy within him.

“Foolish,” Long Chen muttered.

With a swift kick to the devil expert’s stomach, Long Chen sent him hurtling toward the barrier. Now powerless to resist, the devil expert collided with the barrier just as Long Chen retreated to safety.

BANG!

The devil expert erupted in a massive explosion. Waves of wild devil qi surged outward, throwing all nearby combatants off their feet.

Everyone was stunned. The devil expert’s detonation was a result of his internal power spiraling out of control. Yet, even an explosion of that magnitude failed to leave so much as a scratch on the barrier.

The barrier’s time to open had not yet arrived. No matter how powerful they were, breaking it by force was impossible.

When the surrounding experts realized this, the frenzied attacks from all sides eased slightly, and the combatants started conserving their strength.

“Why would a little devil act arrogant in front of Boss Long San? Tch, truly clueless about their own strength,” said Long Chen disdainfully, his tone filled with mockery.

With just a single slap and a kick, Long Chen had ended the life of a nine-vein Heaven Saint. While there was undoubtedly some degree of luck and coincidence involved, it was enough to leave everyone present in shock. The top experts of the various races stared at the black-robed figure before them, their expressions filled with confusion and disbelief. Who exactly was he?

“If you can help us obtain the Dark Golden Battle Armor, our Sacred Light Divine Sect’s Golden Armor Horseman Legion will forever remember your favor. As long as you say the word, then I, Lu Qingshuang, will not hesitate to walk through fire for you!” shouted Lu Qingshuang.

Though Long Chen’s strike had seemed casual, Lu Qingshuang recognized his immense strength. The way he had dispatched a nine-vein Heaven Saint so effortlessly made her determined to have him by their side.

To her, it was clear that it was a display of Long Chen’s true power. His composed demeanor and casual movements showed he had complete control of the situation.

Even though Lu Qingshuang was still irritated by Long Chen’s earlier remarks, she had no choice but to reevaluate him. His strength demanded respect.

“Who wants your favor?” Long Chen replied lazily, flashing a faint smile. “I told you—you have to call me big brother.”

Just like that, he walked toward the barrier.

“You…!” Lu Qingshuang’s voice caught in her throat, her anger flaring.

Long Chen’s carefree demeanor and sloppy appearance didn’t reflect his overwhelming power.

Lu Qingshuang had revealed her identity and invoked the name of the Sacred Light Divine Sect—a force renowned throughout the Heaven Essence World. Moreover, the Golden Armor Horseman Legion was their elite unit; it was a symbol of unparalleled honor and glory.

A favor from the Sacred Light Divine Sect was invaluable, and yet Long Chen brushed it aside. Instead, he wanted her to call him “big brother”? Even with all her experience, Lu Qingshuang had never encountered such a fool.

“This idiot…” muttered some of the experts on her side, outraged on her behalf.

They felt Long Chen was blatantly mocking Lu Qingshuang, but she raised her hand to stop them. She coldly said, “If you have the ability to get the Dark Golden Battle Armor, then I will call you ‘big brother’ ten thousand times.”

Even though she was angry, she still retained her calm. This way, even if Long Chen couldn’t help her obtain it, he wouldn’t be so shameless as to compete with her over it. At the very least, there would be one less enemy.

“Ten thousand times? That’s too much. I don’t have the time to hear all that. Once will do,” Long Chen replied with a chuckle.

Amused by his own words, Long Chen strolled toward the barrier. In front of countless astonished gazes, he casually placed his hands on the barrier.
