Narrow Path of Enemies

The voice was powerful and resounding, but also hoarse and unpleasant, like the sound of stones rubbing against each other, causing the heavens and earth to tremble. [Note: This part seems to contain some placeholders or formatting errors that may need correction.]

"It's really a narrow path for enemies." Long Chen couldn't help but feel his heart pounding when he heard that voice. The voice belonged to none other than the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan's Blood Hero Wind.

At this moment, behind Blood Hero Wind, eight original life veins surged, roaring in a myriad of ways, covering the heavens, even stronger than the last battle, the oppressive force much greater.

"Boss, let me handle him." When Xia Chen saw Blood Hero Wind and felt his terrifying aura, his fighting spirit was instantly ignited.

Facing such a formidable opponent, it was his first time encountering one. He wanted to test how much he had improved, and this opponent was just suitable for him.

"No, this guy is for me." Long Chen shook his head.

"What's the matter? Boss, are you afraid I'll lose? I'm pretty confident I can defeat him with an 80% chance." Xia Chen hurriedly said.

"Defeating him wouldn't help." Long Chen shook his head.

For a moment, Xia Chen didn't understand Long Chen's meaning. However, at this moment, countless experts from the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan appeared in front.

Seeing the experts of the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan flooding in like a tide, Xia Chen couldn't help but inhale a breath of cold air. Were there really so many?

The experts of the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan numbered in the millions. What was even more important was that behind the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan, there were many other demon tribes, extending beyond the horizon.

It turned out that the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan had come with great momentum. They had already begun secretly recruiting supporters, wanting to challenge the Monkey King tribe and vie for the position of alliance leader of the Demonic Alliance.

Previously, when Blood Hero Wind had battled Long Chen in front of the spatial passage, although he hadn't managed to kill Long Chen, he had displayed strength not weaker than Hou Tianwu's, even showing signs of surpassing him.

This had caused the experts of the Demonic Alliance to stir. Some opportunists, seeing the situation was unfavorable, began to lean towards the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan.

Although the demons were large in stature, their intellect was actually quite limited. Their thinking was straightforward: follow the stronger side. Moreover, over the years, they had grown tired of being bossed around by the Monkey King tribe and wanted to change masters.

In the past, during a great battle in front of the spatial passage, the Demonic Alliance was routed by A Man's attack. Blood Hero Wind raised the banner of the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan and promised many benefits, directly pulling away a considerable number of forces from the Demonic Alliance.

Not only Blood Hero Wind, even Xiang Tu did the same. Nearly a third of the Demonic Alliance's forces were taken away by these two, leaving Hou Tianwu spitting blood on the spot.

After Blood Hero Wind took away these people and merged them into his forces, his faction included some strong supporters loyal to the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan. As a result, the strength of the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan suddenly became unprecedentedly powerful.

Under Blood Hero Wind's leadership, they battled against another demonic faction for control over another spatial passage. The two sides fought evenly, neither able to suppress the other.

Everyone knew that continuing like this was pointless. In the end, both sides compromised and set boundaries, sharing the power within the passage.

However, the two major forces had barely calmed down when other factions came to compete. The result was continuous chaos, making it impossible for anyone to focus on advancing.

Eventually, everyone marked their territories and formed over a dozen power zones, surrounding the spatial passage to collectively absorb the power of the Emperor's Way's Reverse Scale.

However, during their struggles, they expended a significant amount of energy. Blood Hero Wind had just advanced to the Eight Veins Heavenly Saint realm when the spatial passage burst open, sending him flying out.

However, the defense of the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan was astonishing. To protect their followers, they erected the strongest defensive barrier, preserving all the demon tribe experts. However, the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan also paid a hefty price, with a majority of them being injured.

Seeing how the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan protected them, the demon tribe experts were deeply moved and pledged their eternal loyalty to the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan.

Seeing the unprecedented cohesion on this side, Blood Hero Wind's confidence swelled, as if he had already ascended to the throne of the Demonic Alliance's leader.

After making adjustments, he led the demon tribe army towards the core area. Along the way, they encountered various factions. With a command from Blood Hero Wind, the demon tribe army swept through their opponents. This greatly satisfied Blood Hero Wind's vanity.

Just as he was basking in his satisfaction, he saw the Myriad Dragon's Nest slowly advancing. He immediately recognized it as Long Chen's Myriad Dragon's Nest and moved to intercept.

When the Myriad Dragon's Nest was blocked, Blood Hero Wind stood before it. Behind him were hundreds of super experts, the weakest among them being at the Seven Veins Heavenly Saint realm. There were around thirty-something individuals who shared his Eight Veins Heavenly Saint realm.

This lineup could be described as extremely terrifying. Eight dragon veins surged behind Blood Hero Wind, causing the earth to tremble. Countless crystal stones emerged from the ground, and where his gaze fell, the land had turned into a sea of crystal stones.

Boundless energy surged above the earth, converging towards Blood Hero Wind. At this moment, he seemed to be the king of this world, commanding everything within it.

"Long Chen, come out and face death!"

Blood Hero Wind stood before the Myriad Dragon's Nest and shouted loudly.

"Hum."

The Myriad Dragon's Nest trembled, and Long Chen's figure appeared. His black clothes fluttered, his long hair danced in the wind. He appeared somewhat frail, but facing the endless demon tribe army, his eyes were calm.

When Long Chen appeared, Blood Hero Wind's pupils contracted suddenly. The current Long Chen had no dragon qi fluctuations, nor any aura of fate. Even his blood energy had become extremely concealed.

The ferocious power of the stars had disappeared. The current Long Chen seemed to have transformed from a raging sea into a tranquil abyss.

Behind his calm exterior, something hidden caused Blood Hero Wind's soul to tremble. The current Long Chen had become even more terrifying.

The first time he battled Long Chen, he had seven original life veins, while Long Chen only had four and a half. This time they met, he had condensed eight original life veins, which boosted his strength by dozens of times.

Based on his estimation, Long Chen could at most be at the Six Veins Heavenly Saint realm, and the chance of him condensing the seventh original life vein was nearly non-existent. As the number of original life veins increased, the consumption became incredibly high, and the time required also grew by many folds.

He held the advantage in realm, so upon seeing Long Chen, without hesitation, he charged forward to kill him. Even if Long Chen had advanced to the Six Veins or even Seven Veins Heavenly Saint realm, he still wouldn't be his match.

However, the moment Long Chen appeared, he felt a shiver in his soul. The fiery battle spirit that had been ignited earlier seemed to have been doused with cold water, and his eyes became uncertain.

"He's Long Chen?"

A man with eagle eyes, a new member who had just joined the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard team, looked at Long Chen and first stared in surprise, then expressed doubt.

He had thought that Blood Hero Wind was going to challenge someone significant, but it turned out to be a human who looked so frail.

"Human ant, there's no need for Lord Hero Wind to personally take action. Let me handle him," the man with eagle eyes, also an Eight Veins Heavenly Saint-level expert, said. His eyes gleamed with a cold light, and his figure suddenly disappeared.

"Crack!"

In the instant he disappeared, Long Chen's large hand reached into the void. Ripples surged in the void, and a figure was seized by Long Chen by the neck, like plucking a small chicken, and pulled out from the space.

"What?"

At that moment, Blood Hero Wind's pupils abruptly contracted.
