Chapter 5784: War God's Drum
A war drum appeared in the void, adorned with divine patterns that radiated with divine light, creating ripples that imprisoned the entire world. The drum's surface was made of an unknown material, a smooth bronze surface, facing the entire battlefield.
The figure of the old clan leader appeared next to the war drum. At this moment, his face no longer held a smile but was instead filled with a cold and stern expression. In fact, he had observed the battle from the beginning, but he only appeared after both sides had ignited their anger and were ready to fight to the death. He had to call forth the Purple Blood Clan's most powerful treasure, the War God's Drum, to force them to stop.
"Clan leader, Long Chen, this little brat, led his people..." Just as the old clan leader appeared, one of the Bi family elders who was besieging Long Chen tried to yell.
Although he couldn't move, and his blood was constricted, his mouth could still speak.
"Bang!"
However, before he could say anything, Long Chen suddenly moved. With a single slash of his sword, the Bi family elder was cut into two pieces.
"What?"
Long Chen could actually ignore the oppression of the War God's Drum? In that instant, countless people were shocked.
It's worth noting that the War God's Drum was the most powerful artifact of the Purple Blood Clan, with no equal. Only the old clan leader had the authority to use it. It had sealed the entire battlefield, even confining Mid-Level God Emperors. But it couldn't confine Long Chen.
"Young man, you're too arrogant!" Just then, a cold voice rang out, followed by a transparent giant hand that suddenly reached for Long Chen's throat.
"Try moving me?" Suddenly, Long Chen's sword disappeared from his hand, replaced by a dagger covered in dense runes, a sharp dagger that he thrust toward the transparent giant hand.
"You..."
The owner of the transparent giant hand was taken aback and immediately retracted his attack. Evidently, he recognized the origin of the dagger.
"A demonic artifact imbued with dark energy. Are you a spy from the Demon Clan?" When Bi Yingxiong saw the dark aura emanating from the dagger in Long Chen's hand, he shouted in anger.
In an instant, everyone's faces turned pale. How could Long Chen possess a demonic artifact imbued with dark energy? If he were a spy from the Demon Clan, and he detonated the dagger, the old clan leader might not be able to suppress it in time.
With the demonic artifact in his hand, Long Chen stared at a certain spot in the void with a sinister expression and said, "I've been arrogant for more than just a day or two. I don't think I've been arrogant enough, which led to the idiots from the Bi family daring to blatantly slaughter the sons of my Luo family."
"Nonsense, gibberish..."
Bi Yingxiong loudly roared. He wanted to deny everything, but suddenly, the War God's Drum trembled slightly, completely imprisoning him. Except for being able to blink his eyes, he couldn't move a single part of his body.
The old clan leader coldly said, "The War God's Drum has transcendence runes. It can clearly deduce the ins and outs of this matter. Your childish denial is futile. Save yourself some face."
Hearing the old clan leader's words, Bi Yingxiong's face turned deathly pale. He hadn't expected this matter to lead to the War God's Drum, and he never thought the drum had this ability. Nevertheless, he tried to put on a calm front. He felt that the old clan leader was trying to deceive him. He still held onto a last glimmer of hope.
"Regardless of what Yingxiong has done wrong, this matter should be reported to the Clan Council, and the right and wrong should be determined by the clan leader and the elders of various families. Long Chen, leading the Luo family disciples to kill in such large numbers, is a capital offense."
At this moment, an elderly man with a cane, so frail that he was almost like a flickering candle in the wind, walked out from the crowd.
This elder was a patriarch of the Bi family. He had long been near the end of his lifespan and had been in seclusion all this time, struggling to prolong his life. But now, he had been expelled from seclusion because he couldn't tolerate the mass slaughter of his family members by the Luo family, which had enraged him to the brink of death.
This elder from the Bi family had a much higher seniority than the old clan leader. He walked out tremblingly, pointing his cane at Long Chen with a resentful expression. This person didn't have much time left to live, but luckily, the War God's Drum only locked down the battlefield area. If it had been the entire field, he might have died on the spot.
"Regardless of what you've done?" When Long Chen heard these words, his gaze instantly turned fierce.
"Swish!"
Long Chen's longsword was drawn, and a sword qi shot out, heading straight for the elder.
"How dare you!" The elder saw Long Chen daring to attack him and couldn't help but shout, but he was unable to stop it.
"Boom!"
Just then, a transparent figure appeared and slapped Long Chen's sword qi to pieces.
"Long Chen, you're too arrogant!" The transparent figure had been completely provoked by Long Chen. With the old clan leader and so many high-level figures present, Long Chen still dared to kill someone. It was clear he didn't hold anyone in esteem.
This transparent figure was an Elite Guard of the Purple Blood Clan and was the only Elite Guard in the clan, a position almost equivalent to the clan leader.
Normally, he was in stealth mode, and the Purple Blood Clan only knew there was a terrifying figure inside the clan with strength comparable to the clan leader, but no one had ever seen him.
This Elite Guard was provoked multiple times by Long Chen today, and his anger flared up. He angrily said, "Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have a chargeable dagger in your hand?"
"Splash, splash, splash..."
At this moment, the elder from the Bi family behind the Elite Guard suddenly shivered. Blood splattered, and more than a dozen blood holes appeared on his body.
"What?"
Everyone was shocked. Long Chen had his sword qi shattered by the Elite Guard, so who had wounded him?
"Do you think that by blocking my sword, I won't be able to kill him? Whoever I, Long Chen, want to kill, no one can stop me." Long Chen said coldly.
"You..."
The Elite Guard was furious, realizing that after blocking his strike, Long Chen had secretly gathered his sword qi, which had slowly condensed in the shadows. The sword qi suddenly burst out when it got close, and one of the sword qi directly pierced the elder's forehead.
The elder trembled all over, opening and closing his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but not a word came out, and he fell to the ground.
"Long Chen..."
The Elite Guard was completely provoked, letting out a thunderous roar. The violent aura swept across the heavens, and the terrifying pressure was like a galaxy descending, all pressing down on Long Chen.
"Rumble, rumble..."
The void where Long Chen was located kept distorting, as if it was going to burst. Long Chen felt as if an invisible hand was pressing down on him.
Long Chen's left hand was in severe pain and trembling continuously. He held the chargeable dagger in that hand. The Elite Guard seemed to want to crush his arm to take away the dagger, which would leave Long Chen with nothing to rely on.
"Since the Purple Blood Clan is heartless, don't blame me, Long Chen, for being ruthless." Long Chen's expression turned sinister.
However, just as Long Chen was about to summon the Universal Ring, a figure appeared in front of him.
People were shocked to find that in the depths of the battlefield, even the Purple Blood Clan's Luo Zichen wasn't restricted by the War God's Drum and could move freely.
Luo Zichen held a long knife, and he swiped a strange arc in the void. The terrifying pressure that had fallen on Long Chen instantly turned into nothingness.
"Elite Guard, since you refuse to distinguish right from wrong and use your strength to oppress others, today, we have no choice but to meet each other with force and show the true chapter. Perhaps, the Purple Blood Clan is no different from the outside world. Whoever has the bigger fist will have the final say. Let's settle this with our lives!" Luo Zichen's long knife sliced through the air, bringing a sky full of blade shadows. In the end, the long knife pointed at the Elite Guard, and a sharp killing intent radiated from it.
