Chapter 655

The sudden addition of more than a hundred Primal Core experts to Zi Chen's side strengthened their resolve to join forces.

The next step was to discuss the details of the alliance, such as how much Primal Core each family would contribute and when to launch the attack.

"This battle is a matter of life and death. I suggest that we use all of our Primal Core to fight to the death with Zi Chen," said Dan Yuan of the Cang Family.

It was only natural that he would be despised for saying such a thing. Moreover, it was obvious that he was being selfish. Hence, no one agreed with him.

"If we don't use all of our strength in this battle, we won't be able to kill Zi Chen. When the time comes, there will be no end to our troubles," said Dan Yuan of the Li Family.

Using all of their Primal Core to kill Zi Chen was an unrealistic suggestion. Unlike the Cang Family and the Li Family, they had yet to suffer a great loss. In other words, they still had a way to retreat.

As though he had guessed their thoughts, Dan Yuan of the Li Family said, "When you chose to stand against Zi Chen, you had no way to retreat. If Zi Chen doesn't die in this battle, Zi Chen will continue to recruit and expand from the Fringe. When that time comes, you will regret your decision just like the two of us."

"That's right. We must use all of our strength in this battle," a cold voice suddenly sounded in the meeting hall. Then, a black figure suddenly appeared from the side.

A dense killing intent surged from the figure, instilling fear in everyone's hearts. This was an assassin, a late Primal Core expert. They had no idea when he arrived or how long he had been there.

"This is the final battle. Either you die or I die. There is no need to leave yourself a way out. In this battle, we, the Assassin Pavilion, will send thirty assassins to assist you. We must kill Zi Chen," said the assassin. There was an obvious chill in the air as soon as he finished speaking.

"With the Assassin Pavilion's help, we will naturally mobilize all of our forces. Let's call in the Qin Family as well," suggested Dan Yuan of the Zhu Family.

The Qin Family was naturally led by that traitor alchemist.

"Alright, we'll do our best to fight to the death. But before that, we need to take down Yongqi City to prevent them from joining forces with Zi Chen," said an expert from the Geng Family.

It was decided that they would do everything in their power to kill Zi Chen. Now, the only thing left was to deal with the minor details.

"One day is enough to gather the Dan essence. Tomorrow at this time, we will first attack Yongqi City."

Finally, everyone finished their discussion.

By the time everyone finished their discussion and gathered their core essences to attack, Zi Chen had already walked out of Yongqi City.

After that, the Qin Clan and the Liu Clan in Yongqi City also took advantage of the night to leave Yongqi City and head to Yunxia City.

On the second day, a group of Dan Origin Realm experts arrived with a murderous aura. They were determined to destroy Yongqi City.

However, when he looked at Yongqi City again, there was only a group of dumbfounded cultivators. There wasn't even anyone flying in the air, nor was there any Core Essence. The city gates were wide open, and the Great City Barrier Array was in a deactivated state.

"My lord, there's no one left in the Liu family." Soon, a Dan Yuan cultivator who rushed in came out to report.

"What? No one?"

"Yes, they're all gone, and they took everything with them." The Dan Yuan cultivator continued.

"Damn it, they must have gone to Yunxia City."

"They were prepared for this. Fine, we'll kill our way over now."

The Dan Origin Realm experts were furious. Moreover, the Liu and Qin Clans had gone to meet up with Zi Chen, which made it more difficult for them to take down Yunxia City.

"Since they were prepared and chose to join forces, we should go back and have a good discussion. We must be careful in the final battle." The Dan Yuan cultivator from the Zhu Clan suggested.

"Yes, let's retreat first." The other Dan Origin Realm experts agreed.

Therefore, under the shocked and horrified expressions of the cultivators in Yongqi City, the Dan Origin Realm experts turned around and retreated.

There was no point in attacking an empty Yongqi City. As for destroying this place, it was even more unnecessary.

When the news reached Zi Chen's ears, Zi Chen just sneered and said, "Just as I expected, everyone has their own selfish motives. They didn't choose to attack Yunxia City immediately. This is their worst decision."

After that, Zi Chen gathered the late-stage Dan Origin Realm experts of the other three forces.

The three of them were all late-stage Dan Origin Realm experts, and each of them had a strong foundation. They were the strongest forces of their clans.

"Here are two bottles of liquefied yuan. You should be able to recover your energy with about four drops." Zi Chen first handed over two white jade bottles. Each bottle had about twenty drops of liquefied yuan.

The two of them had naturally heard of liquefied yuan. They accepted it happily and thanked him.

"The next battle will be the final battle. The intensity of this battle will be beyond imagination. The three of you will have to fight at least six people of the same level. Therefore, when you fight with your life on the line, you must be careful. Here are three treasured pills. They can save your lives at a critical moment."

Zi Chen said solemnly. Then, he took out three jade bottles. This time, it was a jasper bottle. There were three treasured pills in the bottles.

These belonged to Wang Qiong, Wang Shan, and the others. Wang Qiong knew that the situation here was very serious, so he asked someone to bring them back.

The three of them took the pills. There was no joy on their faces. Instead, they looked serious because Zi Chen had clearly told them that the next battle would require them to fight with their lives on the line.

"Zi Chen, don't worry. We will not hold back in this battle. We will definitely send out all the Dan Origin Realm experts of our clan. We will fight to the death." The Liu Clan's Dan Origin Realm expert was the first to speak.

"This is a matter of life and death. We know what is important and what is not," the Qin Clan expert said.

As for the Wang Clan's Dan Origin Realm expert, he didn't need to say anything. Zi Chen naturally knew how many experts there were in the Wang Clan.

"The other forces are preparing. It will take four or five days before the attack. In these five days, try to let more Dan Origin Realm experts break through. For this final battle, I don't plan to let people defend Yunxia City to the death. We will take the initiative to fight."

"Fight?" The three of them looked at Zi Chen in confusion. It seemed that defense was the way to go.

Zi Chen nodded and said, "That's right. We will fight in the open space in front of Yunxia City. We must win this battle thoroughly and with a bang."

The other forces hesitated for a few days. During these days, they carefully analyzed the battle strength of Zi Chen's group. From Zi Chen, Tyrant, Longhu, to the demonic ape, they analyzed all of them.

The results of their analysis surprised them. The experts on the other side seemed to be on par with them. As for the remaining Dan Origin Realm experts, they didn't seem to have much more people than the other side. They didn't seem to have a big advantage in a head-on battle.

"Compared to us, they naturally don't have much of an advantage. However, with the Heavenly Slaughter Pavilion, things are different. They are good at assassination and they are the key to victory."

Before the battle, the Heavenly Slaughter Pavilion had already sent out accurate information that they would send out thirty Dan Origin Realm assassins. In addition, they would also send two late-stage Dan Origin Realm experts.

In this way, their battle strength was clearly superior.

As expected, they delayed for four or five days. During this time, Longhu also successfully returned with twenty Dan Origin Realm experts.

After Longhu returned, Zi Chen gave the order, "Put the entire Yunxia City under martial law. From now on, no one is allowed to enter or leave."

As if sensing the arrival of the final battle, many cultivators in Yunxia City left and went to other places. As for the remaining cultivators, they were all vassals of the Wang Family. They chose to live and die with the Wang Family.

On the sixth day, the Dan Origin Realm experts of the other forces finally moved out and launched an attack on Yunxia City.

Zi Chen had already appeared outside Yunxia City with his people.

More than two hundred Dan Origin Realm experts soared into the sky, emitting powerful auras. The leader was Zi Chen. His black robe fluttered without wind as he looked forward with a pair of cold eyes.

On his left and right stood the monk and the demonic ape. Next to them were three late-stage Dan Origin Realm experts.

They looked forward with a murderous aura.

Soon, figures appeared on the horizon. The Dan Origin Realm experts of the opposing forces had finally arrived. The number of Dan Origin Realm experts on both sides was about the same, and the number of top experts was almost the same.

"Everyone must be careful when fighting. There are assassins lurking in the dark." Zi Chen's powerful spiritual sense spread out and covered all the Dan Origin Realm experts.

When the Dan Origin Realm experts of the opposing forces arrived, they were very surprised to see Zi Chen appear in the sky with so many Dan Origin Realm experts. The two sides were still a few miles apart when they all stopped.

Seeing that this distance was just enough for the Dan Origin Realm experts to self-detonate and escape, Zi Chen sneered. Obviously, they had seen through his self-detonation tactic.

"Zi Chen, today is the day you die." In the distance, the angry roar of the Cang Family's Dan Origin Realm expert came from the Cang Family.

"You can't kill me a few years ago, and you can't kill me now," Zi Chen replied with a cold smile.

"You were lucky in the past, but not today. We will crush you with our powerful battle strength," said the Li Family's Dan Origin Realm expert, his voice full of hatred.

"You two have already become stray dogs, and you still dare to talk about your battle strength in front of me." Zi Chen's lips curled into a mocking smile.

The two were furious. After losing their families, they had become generals without an army. It was inevitable that they would be looked down upon.

"Zi Chen, it's useless to say more. Let's see what else you can do without your self-detonation tactic." This time, it was the Zhu Family's Dan Origin Realm expert who spoke.

Zi Chen sneered. "You two are very calculating. You know that I'm good at self-detonation, so you hid from me. However, I don't plan to use it in today's battle, so your move is unnecessary."

"Haha, it's not that you don't plan to use it, but that you don't have a chance to." Laughter came from the other side.

"You don't need to be proud. I don't want to use self-detonation tactics. Today, I'll let you see what other tactics I, Zi Chen, have other than self-detonation," Zi Chen said coldly.

"Haha, then I wonder what other tactics you have." The other side laughed mockingly.

"Round Self-Detonation Technique."

Zi Chen's voice suddenly turned cold, and then he shouted, "Do it."

As soon as his voice fell, under the ground where the Dan Origin Realm experts were in the air, there was a rumbling sound. Amidst the flying dust, glowing figures rushed out from the ground.
