Chapter 657

The assassin had been hiding for a long time. As soon as he appeared, he unleashed a killing blow. The cold light made people feel a chill in their hearts. As the murderous intent surged, the assassin's killing blow was already over.

Puff.

The sharp light instantly cut open the huge body of the Devil Ape. The assassin who had been attacking from behind had already flashed in front of the Devil Ape.

"Humph."

This was a late-stage assassin with a strong foundation. After hitting the target, the assassin let out a cold snort. There was a touch of disdain in his sharp eyes.

Behind him, the huge body of the Devil Ape collapsed and turned into pitch-black energy. It fell from the sky like heavy black clouds and spread in all directions.

"Hmm."

The huge demonic shadow turned into energy. This attack obviously missed. The assassin's expression froze. At this moment, the void beside him broke open. The huge figure of the Devil Ape strode out. A violent aura surged around him. He held a black rod that had grown to more than ten meters long. The next moment, he smashed it toward the Danyuan assassin.

Boom.

The black rod hit the assassin's defense with a thunderous force. It caused a violent energy shock. Then, with the two of them as the center, the destructive energy began to spread.

Under the powerful attack of the Devil Ape, the hidden assassin only managed to block for a moment before he was sent flying. There was still surprise and shock in the assassin's eyes. After flying back a hundred meters, his figure merged into the void and disappeared.

"Delusion-breaker Eye."

The red light in the Devil Ape's eyes grew brighter. It swept forward like rays of light, but there was no trace of the assassin. It looked around again. There was no trace of the assassin.

The Delusion-breaker Eye couldn't find the assassin. It wasn't that the assassin had disappeared. It was just that the gap between the two sides was too big. In addition, the assassin's concealment technique was too good. This made the Delusion-breaker Eye unable to see through him.

As soon as the assassin hid, the Zhu Family Danyuan who had just been sent flying came forward with his foundation. He fought fiercely with the Devil Ape.

In such a state, the Devil Ape's attack power became very strong. It suppressed the enemy who was a higher level than it, showing the power of the Sky Splitting Battle Ape. But at the same time, the consumption of the Devil Ape in such a state was also terrifying.

It was because of this that the Zhu Family Danyuan dared to charge again with his foundation, even if it meant getting hurt.

"Is that so?"

On the other side, the monk who was fighting with the Li Family's Dan Yuan could be said to have given it his all. He used the Luohan Avatar and the Six Syllables of Mantra.

As soon as the Ma Mantra was uttered, a strange and powerful force began to shake the opponent's soul, causing the Li Clan's Dan Essence to be impacted. Their minds were actually in a trance.

"Yes."

'Ma' was the second word of the Six-Syllable Mantra, and the first word was the syllable of the Mantra. The monk, who had obtained the heritage in the ancient battlefield, had also successfully comprehended the first word of the Mantra. Now, with the two words of the Mantra, not only did the Li family's Jinyuan fall into a trance, its already powerful combat strength was also greatly suppressed.

"Bang."

Golden light flashed and a large shadow fell. The Demon Subduing Pestle fell from the sky and hit the Li family's Elixir Core.

This attack was full of power and could be considered the monk's strongest attack. After this attack, the two clones beside him clearly became much more illusory.

The amount of energy consumed by such an attack was unimaginable, but the effects were also extremely powerful. Even though the Li family's Dan Essence had neutralized most of the energy, he was still sent flying by this attack and coughed out blood.

This was the first time a late-stage Dan Essence expert with a strong foundation had been injured since the intense battle began. The other party's face was filled with shock. Clearly, he would have died from such a terrifying attack if not for his foundation.

The one fighting Zi Chen was the Cang family's Dan Essence. The other party's foundation was a longsword that was extremely powerful.

Every time he attacked, a sharp sword beam would flash with a terrifying killing aura. Once such an attack hit the body, even a Perfect Body would not be able to withstand it and would be instantly slashed apart.

With the influx of extreme lightning elemental energy, the lightning hammer had already become the size of a mountain. Its surface flashed with a brilliant silver light, like thousands of lightning snakes dancing wildly. It was dazzling and blinding.

Zi Chen's body emitted a resplendent golden light. The pale golden blood in his body circulated wildly, providing him with powerful physical strength. He held the hammer's handle with both hands. With a loud shout, he raised the mountain-sized hammer high and smashed it down amidst endless flashes of lightning.

Such power caused the Cang family's Dan Essence's expression to change. The energy in his body surged into the foundation longsword in his hand. The next moment, the longsword erupted with a blinding light. It blocked in front of him with lightning speed, meeting the thousands of lightning snakes.

"Boom!"

The heavy hammer smashed down, causing the void to tremble. Thousands of lightning snakes rushed out from the heavy hammer, raging forward. A wave of energy also rushed out from the longsword. The energy between the two constantly collided and canceled each other out.

"Die."

A cold light flashed in Zi Chen's eyes as he let out a loud shout. Extreme energy surged into the lightning hammer once again. With the influx of extreme energy, the lightning hammer's might became even stronger, erupting with an even stronger energy fluctuation.

Peng!

Under this energy fluctuation, the Cang family's Dan Essence was also shocked as he was sent flying.

Zi Chen and the other two had instantly suppressed three opponents. Such a scene made the other three feel ashamed. However, they were not in a hurry. They just needed to fight steadily and surely.

Because there were still assassins hiding in the dark.

In the battle far away, Zi Chen's side had an obvious advantage in terms of numbers. In addition, the Spirit Devouring Rats were constantly attacking the assassins hiding in the dark, which greatly reduced the pressure on them. They could fight without worry. Therefore, the group of people who had the upper hand began to suppress them.

During this time, the sound of Jindan essence exploding could be heard from time to time. Some Jindan essences knew that they would die without a doubt, so they would rather die in glory than live in dishonor. Of course, there were Jindan essences exploding from both sides.

Under the attack of the Spirit Devouring Rats, the number of assassins from the Heavenly Slaughter Pavilion was decreasing. Without these assassins who were good at assassination, they could already see the light of victory in the early Dan Essences battle.

However, the key to victory was the late Dan Essences who were fighting with their foundation. The current battle was in a state of balance.

Swoosh.

Suddenly, monstrous killing intent rose again. The sharp sword light made the monk's hair stand. This time, the hidden assassin was obviously going to attack him.

The sword light streaked across the sky like a lightning rainbow. The monk's two doppelgangers disappeared under this attack.

As for the monk himself, he flashed to the side in an instant and dodged the fatal attack.

The assassin's eyes were filled with surprise when his attack missed. His figure flashed and he hid again.

Roar.

However, as soon as his figure disappeared, a deafening roar came from the sky. A beam of light flew to the place where the assassin had disappeared at a speed far faster than lightning.

It was Longhu. After he arrived, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He stomped fiercely toward the void.

Boom.

The void shattered with this stomp. Destructive energy spread in all directions. The Dan Essences who had just hidden themselves appeared in the black hole. Their faces were filled with shock.

Longhu's first attack landed, and the second attack was ready. Just as the assassin appeared, a dragon's mouth opened wide, and the dragon's teeth in the dragon's mouth were as cold as divine weapons.

The Dan Essences assassin's expression changed again and again. The sharp blade in his hand also slashed forward.

Clang.

However, when the blade hit Longhu's teeth, a loud clang was heard. It did not break.

"What?"

Dan Essences' expression changed drastically. The shock on his face became more intense. Then, he used the force from the dragon's teeth to retreat rapidly.

Puff.

The dragon's mouth pressed down in the next moment. Then, there was a tearing sound. The Dan Essences assassin's black clothes were torn apart. His chest was also covered in blood.

The other party retreated again and again, the shock in his eyes becoming more and more intense. Cold sweat continuously appeared on his forehead. This mount named Longhu had actually almost killed him just now. If he hadn't reacted in time, Longhu would have bitten off his head.

Longhu was responsible for killing the early stage Dan Essences. Everyone thought that Longhu was weaker than the Devil Ape and the others. Plus, he did not have anything comparable to his foundation. Therefore, he could not fight against the late stage Dan Essences.

However, after he attacked in an instant and almost swallowed a hidden Dan Essences assassin, no one dared to underestimate Longhu anymore.

Seeing this, Zi Chen only sneered. Longhu was the supreme beast, the king among the ancient beasts. How could such an existence be weak? Whoever dared to underestimate Longhu in battle was courting death.

"Longhu, behind you."

Suddenly, the Devil Ape's voice sounded in Longhu's mind. Longhu's Delusion-breaker Eye had finally found the trace of the second Dan Essences assassin. Although he only saw a blurry shadow, it was enough to prove that the assassin had revealed himself.

After Longhu heard it, he did not turn around. His dragon tail shook in the void, crushing the void. He made a Divine Dragon Tail Whip.

The void was directly shattered, and the second assassin was shaken out. The assassin's eyes were filled with shock. He had not attacked yet.

"Bang."

Longhu swept the assassin away with his dragon tail.

Both sides were evenly matched. At this moment, Longhu was restraining two assassins by himself. On the other side, the battle of the early stage Dan Essences was about to come to an end.

The faces of the experts of the opposing forces were already ashen.

They realized that they had once again underestimated the strength of their opponents and the resources Zi Chen's side had.

Since the beginning of the battle, the Devil Ape and the monk had been eating liquefied yuan as if they were eating jelly beans. They were not afraid of consumption at all.

They were not afraid of consumption, but they were. After a series of fierce battles, even if they were in a defensive state, their consumption was endless.

The scale of victory had begun to tilt, but it was towards Zi Chen's side.

"Ah."

After the last blood-curdling screech, the Dan Yuan cultivators from the opposing forces had all been wiped out.

In the sky, only the eight late stage Dan Essences were left.
