Chapter 648: Chapter 648: Dragon Fang Strikes, Instant Kill

Hiss—

Gray fresh blood spurted from the arm of Demon General Hui.

In a flash of blinding light, nobody had seen clearly what exactly happened, and then the scene before them had already unfolded.

"What on earth was that flash of light..."

Everyone was stunned. It wasn’t the force exerted by Demon General Hui that rendered them immobile, but rather, they were completely shocked and frozen in place by the bright light that Lin Chen had just released.

At that moment, the golden light that had emanated from Lin Chen’s body severed Demon General Hui’s hand and, without any pause, it continued slashing towards Hui’s torso.

The movement of the golden flash was incredibly swift, completing the killing strike in the blink of an eye before reverting back into a golden light and returning into Lin Chen’s glabella.

The crowd was stunned again because that golden flash had directly cut Demon General Hui’s body in half.

Before anyone, including Demon General Hui himself, could grasp what had happened, his arm was severed, and his consciousness gradually began to blur...

Without even having the chance to scream, Demon General Hui’s body, starting from the middle, split into two halves.

Thereafter, a strange power caused the two halves of Demon General Hui’s body to begin disintegrating, turning to ash at a speed visible to the naked eye, right before everyone’s eyes.

In just over a dozen breaths’ time, Demon General Hui’s body had completely dissipated from everyone’s sight, as if he had never descended upon this place.

Gurgle—

Everybody came back to their senses, shocked. Their gazes fell upon Lin Chen, filled with immense astonishment, especially Luo Wu, Yuan Baishu, and Zhao Ziyi who had previously even contemplated seizing the treasures on Lin Chen and attacking him.

At that moment, the three of them were relieved they hadn’t made their move because if they had, the ones obliterated with a single strike right now would have been them.

People like Qin Kaifeng, Dongfang Yun, and Wu Chao were also staring at Lin Chen with shocked faces, realizing that Lin Chen had been concealing such a powerful trump card up until now.

It should be noted that Demon General Hui, who had appeared earlier, possessed a strength that not only surpassed the Peak Masters within their sects but also exceeded the power of their Sect Leaders, belonging to a realm above the Nirvana Realm.

The crowd’s speculations were correct; Demon General Hui was a powerhouse of the Creation Realm, which lies above the Nirvana Realm.

"Monster, this guy is a monster, he... he actually killed Demon General Hui!"

Bred was now filled with endless terror, looking at Lin Chen with eyes full of fear, and immediately shouted and fled in all directions, with other martial artists of the Dark Demon Race doing the same. In no time, they scattered and escaped from the site.

It was a joke. Their master, Demon General Hui had been killed. If they stayed any longer, wouldn’t that mean courting death?

At that moment, not only was the scene of the Dark Demon Race martial artists in disarray, the side of the martial artists from the Mysterious Heaven Continent was also bustling with noise and disbelief.

"Junior Brother Lin Chen, are you... are you alright?"

Wu Chao hurriedly came to Lin Chen’s side, looking worried as he asked, because he had seen Lin Chen unleash the power of the Golden Light, and Demon General Hui had already been slain, yet Lin Chen remained motionless in his original spot.

Although he didn’t know what power Lin Chen had just used—it was Lin Chen’s secret, and he didn’t ask too much about it—at this moment, he was just concerned that Lin Chen might suffer some aftereffects from using that immensely powerful force.

"Junior Brother Wu Chao, I’m fine!"

Lin Chen was woken by Wu Chao’s call, his Divine Soul returning to reality, and he immediately declared that he was alright.

Just now, when Lin Chen saw Demon General Hui Chu descend, he immediately had his Divine Soul enter the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, commanding the Dragon Fang Dagger to lend him a hand.

After all, when he had devoured those treasures at the bottom of the lake, the Dragon Fang Instrument Spirit had promised to strike on Lin Chen’s behalf one day.

And Lin Chen certainly hadn’t expected to use this opportunity so soon, nor had he imagined that the Dragon Fang Dagger, which had boasted about its own strength, truly wasn’t bluffing; a beam of golden light was able to instantly slay even a Creation Realm powerhouse.

Indeed, from Master Qingxu and the Dragon Fang Dagger, Lin Chen learned that Demon General Hui was actually at the Cultivation of the Creation Realm.

This was a caliber of power that didn’t exist in the Eastern Domain where Lin Chen lived, or even on the entire Mysterious Heaven Continent, at least not to his knowledge.

However, after the Dragon Fang Dagger acted, it started bargaining with Lin Chen right away, as this action had used up a tremendous amount of energy, nearly comparable to the energy of all the magic treasures it had previously consumed.

So, in a sense, the Dragon Fang Dagger had made a large loss with its intervention.

Who knew that in aiding Lin Chen, it would encounter such a formidable opponent—of course, the opponent was formidable only in comparison to the power the Dragon Fang Dagger had currently regained.

In the heyday of the Dragon Fang, creatures of the Creation Realm caliber would be cleaved by the thousands with a single slice.

Therefore, after Lin Chen’s Divine Soul had bargained in the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron with the Dragon Fang Dagger following its slaying of Demon General Hui, the Dragon Fang Dagger demanded a compensation: it must devour the treasures Lin Chen had stored inside the cauldron, but naturally, Lin Chen would not agree.

It’s a joke, with the endless appetite of the Dragon Fang Dagger, even if it consumed all the treasures, magic treasures, and Spirit Stones in this space, it might not restore even one percent of its increased power, given that this fellow always boasted it was an Immortal Sacred Artifact—the required energy was unfathomable.

Lin Chen did not want his hard-earned collection of treasures and magic treasures to be gobbled up by the Dragon Fang Dagger in one fell swoop, so he bartered with the Dragon Fang Instrument Spirit and eventually decided to compensate with ten thousand Lower Heaven-level Treasures and ten million top-grade Spirit Stones for this intervention.

Upon hearing Lin Chen’s compensation, the Dragon Fang Dagger accepted with a facade as if it had no other choice.

However, what Lin Chen didn’t know was that after his Divine Soul left the space, the Dragon Fang Dagger secretly breathed a sigh of relief as if it had just won a victorious battle.

It’s a joke—if Lin Chen knew that it had long since recognized him as master, then these resources definitely could not have been swindled from him...

After coming back to his senses, Lin Chen discussed with Wu Chao and the others and decided to return to the Mysterious Heaven Continent and leave this place.

Although there were many mysteries and treasures waiting to be explored here, the Dragon Fang had already taken action once, and Lin Chen did not know how many more times its power could be employed.

And even if it could be summoned again, it might not be willing to continue assisting Lin Chen. Thus, without knowing whether there were other beings as powerful as Demon General Hui Chu within these ruins, it was best for Lin Chen and his companions to depart from this place.
