Supreme Alchemist
Chapter 2220 - 2220 2210 Huqiu

2220: Chapter 2210: Huqiu 2220: Chapter 2210: Huqiu Yongli’s gaze flickered with fear, just as Long Yan had expected; Yongli’s weak spot was indeed his head, which is why he always chose to protect it during battles.

But how did Long Yan know this?

With confusion, Long Yan’s strike was full of power, instantly shattering Yongli’s head into countless pieces, leaving no chance for Yongli.

The Azure Dragon Illusion behind him vanished, and Long Yan slumped to the ground.

Although the battle hadn’t lasted very long, Long Yan felt as if all his bones were aching as if they had fallen apart.

If possible, he really wanted a big bed right now, to sleep without waking up.

However, his strong willpower still made him sit cross-legged and begin to recover his True Qi.

He didn’t know when the other two Demon Guards would arrive, so it was most important to recover his strength first.

Although Xing Rou was still in shock and hadn’t even fully understood the battle between the two, seeing Long Yan sitting cross-legged on the ground, she began to guard him by drawing her long knife.

“Oh?

Even Yongli has failed.”

The woman in the black robe sensed Yongli’s Breath and was somewhat surprised.

She was well aware of the big man’s strength, and even though it wasn’t as great as either of hers or her companion’s, he was nonetheless defeated by Long Yan.

The woman in the black robe was becoming more and more interested in Long Yan.

“Hmph, all are incompetent.”

The other man in the black robe commented derisively, seemingly holding a low opinion of both Han Xing and Yongli.

“Don’t say that, Long Jue.

Aren’t you here waiting too?”

The woman chuckled lightly, while contempt could be heard in Long Jue’s voice, his Monster Power almost visibly congealing into substance.

“This time, I’ll go!”

“No.”

The woman in the black robe rejected Long Jue’s suggestion as soon as he spoke.

Long Jue was the ace among them, and more importantly, his destructive power was too strong.

If he made a move, there was a chance he would be the first to bring down the Demon King’s Castle.

“Hmph.”

Clearly dissatisfied with the woman’s words, Long Jue stood up but then sat down again—his Divine Abilities were indeed too destructive.

“I will go then.”

The woman in the black robe seemed eager, truly wanting to face this Human Cultivator herself.

Her red lips curled into a beautiful arc, and she walked towards the only exit of the Secret Chamber.

Though her steps were unhurried, anyone watching would notice that she could cover a considerable distance in an instant.

“If you fail too, I will take action.”

Long Jue remarked indifferently from behind, not caring whether the woman ahead had heard him or not; he closed his eyes to rest and replenish his energy.

“As you wish.”

Only these words lingered in the air; the woman in the black robe had already disappeared into the Secret Chamber, leaving only a trace of her scent.

Long Jue rested with closed eyes, contemplating something.

Being able to resolve Han Xing was within expectations, but Yongli’s Divine Abilities were truly formidable.

Long Jue had tried himself; it took a long time for him even to break through Yongli’s Defense—it could only be said that this opponent was entirely different from the past.

Could they be defeated?

Long Jue didn’t want to think about this question.

A fierce light flashed in his eyes; they had only one goal, and that was to kill the opponent, nothing more.

On the other side, Long Yan was still continually recuperating his injuries.

His True Qi was still in a good condition, but he had expended too much physical energy.

It was still manageable while fighting Yongli, but after the battle, Long Yan didn’t even want to move a finger anymore.

Footsteps echoed down the empty corridor and were quickly detected by Xing Rou.

It seemed like the other party did not intend to hide their presence, thus they did not conceal the sound of their footsteps.

Xing Rou’s beautiful eyes stared intently down the pitch-dark corridor, while she prepared to use her Monster Power so she could launch an attack with her Spatial Divine Abilities at a moment’s notice.

“Little Xing Rou, you don’t need to be so defensive against me.

If I really wanted to make a move, you and your company now would have no capability to retaliate.”

All the hairs on her body stood on end at the sound of the voice she was all too familiar with.

It was one of the Demon Guards she had seen when she was with Bai Mu, also the Empress of the entire Demon Race.

“Huqiu.”

Xing Rou almost gnashed her teeth as she uttered that name.

A sense of indescribable fear rose from within her heart.

Just how terrifying this woman was, Xing Rou did not know; all she knew was that every monster that fought Huqiu perished, and no one even knew what her Divine Abilities were.

“Cut the nonsense.”

Perhaps it was Long Yan’s presence that emboldened her, Xing Rou summoned her courage.

If a human could fight for the future of the Demon Race, she had every reason to save herself.

“Little Xing Rou, have you grown braver?”

Although Huqiu’s words were filled with allure and teasing, Xing Rou could feel genuine murderous intent.

In an instant, Huqiu’s figure appeared before Xing Rou, her pale hand sweeping towards Xing Rou’s delicate face.

Xing Rou, who had intended to use her spatial ability to dodge, found herself helpless as she realized the space around her had been locked, and this woman before her was the one sealing it off.

Helpless, Xing Rou closed her eyes.

The disparity in strength was just too great; if she was more powerful, she wouldn’t have to suffer this humiliation.

It seemed Huqiu was quite pleased with Xing Rou’s expression as she let out a series of charming laughs.

“Sigh.”

A sigh resonated in the air, and Huqiu felt her striking wrist being grabbed, the Spatial Lock around them thoroughly shattered by someone.

A handsome man stood in front of her, his right hand still clasping onto her pristine wrist.

Behind the youth, an enormous bird with wings wide enough to blot out the heavens spread its wings.

“Is this the capability of Human Cultivators?”

Huqiu seemed not to mind her wrist being captured, instead, she inquired with a teasing tone, and even blew a breath towards Long Yan.

The power of the Martial God Array’s augmentation was terrifying; in such a short time, Long Yan’s energy had returned to its peak.

A fragrant breeze drifted past Long Yan’s nose.

With no alternative, Long Yan reluctantly released Huqiu’s wrist, pulling Xing Rou back several steps, maintaining a safe distance from Huqiu.

“Don’t be scared of me, I’m not going to eat you.”

From behind the black veil, a pair of lively, bright eyes peeked out, a mournful gaze that sent shivers down Long Yan’s spine, momentarily unsettling him.

It was Long Yan’s first time seeing someone wearing a veil that covered their eyes.

Silently guarding his mind, Long Yan took a deep breath.

The woman before him was definitely not simple; in just an instant, she had almost caused his mind to waver, and he became even more vigilant towards her.

“No need for that, I’m here to propose a deal to you.”

Huqiu lightly covered her mouth with her hand, feigning a cute laugh, a gesture that made Xing Rou, who knew her fearsome reputation, feel a surge of disgust, but she just snorted coldly without saying anything.

“Oh?”

Long Yan showed a look of interest.

He wanted to hear the deal, and seeing Long Yan’s seemingly intrigued expression, Xing Rou looked somewhat anxious.
