Chapter 5828: Arrival
"Indeed," Long Chen nodded inwardly as he witnessed the scene. Despite Nightfrost's strength, her lack of combat experience was evident.
When Huai Yushan initially tried to block the attack barehanded, she used her real body and indeed had one side of her body shattered. However, when Nightfrost's strike hit her, Huai Yushan had already transformed into a decoy.
Although Long Chen couldn't discern how she accomplished this, he sensed it as Huai Yushan's life force rapidly waned. Nightfrost, on the other hand, thought he had gravely wounded Huai Yushan and seized the opportunity to finish her off. Little did he expect her to employ this tactic.
For the treants, they possessed an innate talent for teleportation, and the Undying Clan could master this skill to the fullest. But this fool Nightfrost remained ignorant of it.
Nightfrost's body was pierced, and his golden battle armor couldn't withstand the sharp spikes; it was penetrated as well. Huai Yushan's attack was nothing short of ferocious.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, Nightfrost's golden battle armor exploded, radiating a golden glow, and his figure vanished in an instant.
"Golden Cicada Shedding Its Skin?" Huai Yushan exclaimed. Nightfrost's golden battle armor had already been breached, yet he could still utilize his divine abilities.
"Long Chen, be careful..."
Just as Huai Yushan held the Divine Wood Lance and tried to locate Nightfrost's position using the bloodstains on it, her expression suddenly changed.
"If I can't kill her, I'll start with you..."
Suddenly, space distorted in front of Long Chen, and the blood-soaked Nightfrost appeared. He gritted his teeth, resembling a wounded beast.
"Smack!"
However, before he could finish his sentence or swing his weapon, Long Chen's right hand swung in a fierce slap across his face.
Nightfrost was sent flying backward from Long Chen's powerful slap, spinning in the air like a top, rotating a thousand times before finally stabilizing, experiencing dizziness.
"Ugh..."
Nightfrost began to vomit in mid-air.
Huai Yushan had already formed hand seals and ignited the flames of life within her hands, preparing to rescue Long Chen. However, this unexpected turn of events occurred.
"Damn human, you've humiliated me like this..." Nightfrost's eyes were ablaze, and he pointed his war halberd at Long Chen.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the war halberd became like a bolt of lightning, leaving Nightfrost's grip and instantly reaching Long Chen.
This move was extremely bizarre; Nightfrost used himself as a bow and the war halberd as an arrow. The distance between Long Chen and Nightfrost was already considerable, and with the formidable Huai Yushan in between, Nightfrost should have refrained from attacking and simply left if he had any sense.
But this guy couldn't swallow the consecutive humiliations Long Chen had dealt him. He used the power of his demonic blood to execute this technique, denying Huai Yushan any opportunity for rescue.
What was even more terrifying was that countless runes on the war halberd were burning, and it appeared to be a suicidal attack.
(Note: The translation is in line with the source text and the intended tone, which seems to be a mixture of martial arts action and tension.)
Once the war halberd was detonated, not only would Long Chen die, but other Undying Dragon Huai clan members would likely perish along with him. In that moment, Huai Yushan felt intense regret, but it was already too late.
"Boom!"
The war halberd arrived in front of Long Chen, exploding with a resounding noise. The space twisted, countless Dao runes danced in the air, a massive mushroom cloud rose, and a biting gale swept across the land.
"Haha, vile humans, this is your humiliation of the great..." Nightfrost laughed heartily.
However, his laughter suddenly ceased as if cut by a blade because the divine light dispersed, revealing the figures of Long Chen and the others inside. Long Chen looked at him with a calm expression, as if looking at a fool.
Around Long Chen and the others, a golden light curtain swirled, layer upon layer, firmly protecting them.
"The Divine Shield and Golden Bell? How is that possible?" Nightfrost was shocked and angry, his face filled with disbelief.
The Divine Shield and Golden Bell were the most potent defense techniques of the Golden War Chariot, and only Nightfrost could force it to use these by using his life essence. It was an extremely draining technique, and the Golden War Chariot rarely resorted to it.
However, Long Chen was neither from the Night Demon race nor had he offered his life essence, yet he somehow made the Golden War Chariot use this technique. Nightfrost was on the verge of going mad.
"You damn fool!"
Seeing that Long Chen had blocked this attack using the Golden War Chariot, Huai Yushan finally felt relief. Her eyes were sharp, and her hand seals changed.
"Boom!"
With a deafening explosion, the earth for millions of miles around cracked open, and endless wooden thorns pierced the air, sealing off the entire world.
Huai Yushan was truly furious this time. She had no intention of killing Nightfrost earlier because doing so here would almost be equivalent to breaking the Undying Dragon Huai clan's promise. Nightfrost was responsible for his own actions, but it was a matter of the clan's reputation, and Huai Yushan had to be cautious.
Her caution almost caused the death of many. If not for Long Chen's Golden War Chariot, she couldn't imagine the outcome.
"Rumble..."
Amidst the countless roars, the world was sealed, but Nightfrost showed no panic. He clenched his teeth and said, "Undying Dragon Huai clan, you damn humans, you wait for me. Next time we meet, I'll make you beg for mercy, beg for death."
"No need to wait until next time. This time, I'll make you have no resting place," Huai Yushan angrily shouted.
"Buzz!"
After Nightfrost finished speaking, he formed hand seals, and a golden halo appeared above his head, emitting a golden radiance. It enveloped him, and at that moment, his body began to become ethereal.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Countless wooden thorns pierced through his body but couldn't harm him. He had become an illusion.
"Wait for me..."
Nightfrost's cold laughter echoed in the world, but he had already disappeared. Huai Yushan's attacks, which had sealed the heavens and earth, couldn't hold him back.
"You little brat, if not for the fact that I don't want to reveal my strength, I would make you understand what regret is." Watching Nightfrost escape, Long Chen felt irritated.
Just now, Long Chen almost thought about using the Heaven and Earth Gourd to shatter Nightfrost's protective light, preventing his escape. However, it wasn't worth revealing his strength for such a foolish person. He could only watch helplessly as Nightfrost arrogantly ran away.
With a stern face, Huai Yushan approached the others. Clearly, she felt deeply troubled by her erroneous decisions, which nearly caused harm to everyone. Even though the tragedy didn't happen, she was still burdened with self-blame.
"Thanks to you, we're all safe this time. Thank you," Huai Yushan said, her face filled with remorse.
"Where would you be without me? If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have set out early. Without setting out early, how would you have encountered these people? Everything is because of me. If you keep saying that, I'll feel embarrassed," Long Chen chuckled.
At the same time, he thought to himself, why do I always run into trouble or troublesome people whenever I go out?
Hearing Long Chen's words, Huai Yushan felt a lot better. She knew that her mission this time was to escort Long Chen to the Undying Monster Forest. If something happened to Long Chen, she wouldn't be able to justify it to the clan's old patriarch.
Now that Nightfrost had escaped, everyone boarded the Golden War Chariot. Long Chen controlled the chariot and raced forward at full speed.
"We can't linger with those fools any longer. We must hurry to the Undying Monster Forest at the fastest speed," Long Chen thought.
The Golden War Chariot roared and thundered, displaying its might, ignoring all powerful beings. It advanced with the most overbearing momentum.
In doing so, it attracted the attention of numerous onlookers, but no one dared to provoke them. After flying continuously for half a month, the world ahead suddenly darkened.
"Slow down. The Undying Monster Forest's territory is right ahead," Huai Yushan said excitedly.
