Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

The blonde woman was sent flying by a slap in the face. Those half-step Heavenly Sovereigns on her side were all shocked. With a furious roar, they pounced on the nine heavens’ forces. Terrifying auras erupted like volcanos. It seemed that they were going to rip all of their enemies apart.

“Brat, you’re asking for it!” Another outsider devil with golden wings on his back charged forward, swinging a massive saber at Long Chen. He was the size of a small mountain, but he was shockingly fast.

Long Chen slowly raised a single finger. Starlight covered the fingertip.

BOOM!

In front of countless shocked gazes, that immense saber was firmly stopped by that one finger.

As for the outsider devil, he spat out blood. He stared in disbelief—his full-power attack had just been stopped by a youngster’s finger. Most terrifying of all, his saber was now covered in cracks.

Suddenly, his saber burst apart, and Long Chen’s figure shot through the remains. A moment later, blood burst out of his neck, and his head appeared in Long Chen’s hand.

One slap had blown away their commander, and one finger had slayed a half-step Heavenly Sovereign. Even Su Yu was shocked by his power.

“These half-step Heavenly Sovereigns aren’t much. Brothers and sisters, work hard. When the battle ends, you can bring me the heads of the half-step Heavenly Sovereigns to exchange for rewards. You should know that my rewards are quite extraordinary!” declared Long Chen.

Everyone quickly recovered from their shock. Long Chen had just used his own actions to show them that their enemies weren’t as frightening as they imagined. Their morale surged.

Long Chen gave Su Yu a look. She immediately understood that he was leaving this battle to her.

With that, Long Chen immediately bolted toward the blonde woman. Starlight twisted into a massive whirlpool as he stamped his foot towards her.

The blond woman was enraged. That slap of his had looked completely insignificant, but it had almost blown her head to pieces. Worse still, apart from the obvious physical impact, the slap had even contained a spiritual attack; she wasn’t even recovered before Long Chen’s next attack came. When she saw the starlight crashing down on her, her expression completely changed.

“Damn it, you’re a nine star heir!”

She slammed her hands together, and her golden wings folded in front of her, forming a shield. Golden runes swirled on top of them, increasing their defensive power.

This looked somewhat similar to the one she had used to block the Heaven Transcension Sword Sect master’s attack. But back then, she had been putting on an act. Now that she was using her full power, the shield’s power was a hundred times greater.

BOOM!

Long Chen’s foot slammed down. An explosive sound shook the battlefield. Golden feathers danced through the air. The woman shot out like a golden cannonball.

“Your physical body is decent!” Long Chen was a bit surprised. This woman truly was powerful; he was surprised that her wings had managed to hold out.

Even so, he tumbled all the way out of the battlefield. When she finally managed to steady herself, she looked around and instantly paled. Having been pushed all the way out to the edge of the battlefield, she saw that the Earth Barbarians had surrounded them.

She instantly realized that while her plan had been to wipe out everyone in the city, Long Chen had also been planning on wiping them out as well. He had wasted time speaking to her just to prepare this trap.

It was the exact same plan; what she found laughable was that she had fallen for it while thinking that everything was under her control. She suddenly thought back to how Long Chen had openly spoken his strategy in front of her. His intention had not been to humiliate her; it was simply that, by that point, his plan was already in motion. All he had to do was kill them and be done with it.

The most frightening thing was that she could hear the roars coming from the center of the battlefield—the roars of her own kin. She could hear their panic and fear.

Suddenly, she raised her head and roared, “Golden Wings Incinerate the Heavens! Devil Blood Ancestor, Descend!”

Her golden wings unleashed a raging inferno as an illusory figure appeared behind her. When that figure appeared, terrifying Sovereign might crashed down. The heavens shuddered. Powerful fluctuations caused Su Yu and the others to tremble. This pressure was many times stronger than that of any half-step Heavenly Sovereign on the battlefield.

“Long Chen... Will he be fine?”

“Don’t worry, no one in his realm can beat him. Focus on killing the half-step Heavenly Sovereigns. Don’t disappoint Long Chen, and don’t forget his rewards!” ordered Su Yu.

The outsider devils were uneasy that their leader had been pushed back, and they were filled with openings as a result. Meanwhile, due to Long Chen’s promise, morale was at an all-time high among the Four Cardinal Alliance members. By casting aside their fear, they were able to display much greater power than normal.

In the first clash, they had killed dozens of the enemy’s half-step Heavenly Sovereigns. As for their side, three people had suffered heavy injuries and were temporarily unable to fight. As for the others, they only sported minor injuries, and there was not even a single death!

This result was largely thanks to Su Yu. She understood what Long Chen had said to her with that gaze, something he had left unsaid earlier. If you don’t have absolute power yourself, then you need to be a real leader. You must lead by example, but you must not try to do everything yourself.

What she had to do was gather everyone’s power and lead them into battle. She had to control the movements of her troops and the tempo of the battle. That was the leader’s responsibility. For that reason, Su Yu had not charged into the heart of the enemy, but instead focused on directing and reinforcing others. She only used her own power when truly needed.

A leader is not necessarily the main character. A hero might just as well be the strategist behind the scenes.

Suddenly, a titanic aura washed over the battlefield, causing everyone to tremble and the weaker ones to feel a suffocating pressure.

“You fools, the divine emissary has been angered! Just wait to suffer her wrath!” One of the outsider devils laughed wildly.

Outside the battlefield, Long Chen simply looked at the blonde woman as her aura raged. He didn’t do anything to interrupt her.

As her aura rose, the illusory image behind her grew increasingly solid. The Grand Dao’s laws gathered within it, and its Sovereign might grew.

“I see, so you walk the god path. Your law manifestation is already set, which is why you can summon a heaven earth law manifestation before the Divine Sovereign real,” said Long Chen.

To be able to summon a heaven-earth law manifestation before reaching the Divine Sovereign realm was a massive advantage. Even Long Chen felt pressure from that figure.

“You can rest in peace after forcing me to use this move!”

The blonde woman suddenly shot into motion. She raised a hand, and countless law runes converged into a heaven-covering hand that slammed down upon him.
