Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5226 Free and Unfettered Sect

Even without entering their combat state, the Dragonblood Legion emanated a natural and formidable killing intent just by gathering together. The Dragonblood warriors seemed like war gods who lived for battle. Their eyes were calm, but a deep, burning fighting spirit within them could shake the world.

The atmosphere changed instantly as all those who had participated in the previous battle rose with them. Even the fastest among them had only recovered about fifty percent of their combat power, while others had barely regained twenty to thirty percent. Their bodies were still covered in wounds, yet they stood alongside the Dragonblood warriors.

For sreason, they felt that fighting alongside Long Chen, even if it meant dying on the battlefield, would be the greatest honor of their lives. Dying for Long Chen would mean dying without regrets.

“Move out!” Long Chen commanded with a simple wave of his hand. The Dragonblood warriors began to march out of the academy, followed closely by everyone else within the barrier.

Bai Shishi’s mother and the rest of the senior experts couldn’t help but be moved upon seeing this. This was Long Chen’s charisma. These disciples had clearly not recovered their full combat strength. If they were to join the battlefield now, their chances of survival were abysmal. However, they didn’t even hesitate; no one even said a word. That was a sign of their absolute trust in Long Chen.

“Dean Long Chen, we want to go too!” shouted one of the disciples Long Chen had earlier forced to clean up the battlefield.

“If you go, you might not return alive. Are you sure you want to do this?” Long Chen asked, eyeing them with ssurprise.

“Even our injured senior apprentice-brothers and sisters are rushing to the next battlefield. If we don’t have the courage to set foot onto the battlefield, we will be worthless to the end of our lives. From this one battle, I’ve understood things I never realized before. I’d rather die in battle than live as trash! Please, Dean Long Chen, letgo!” the disciple pleaded.

“Dean Long Chen, please let us follow you!” Hundreds of thousands of disciples shouted in agreement, their voices ringing with newfound resolve.

The pressure of the battlefield had awakened something primal within these disciples, igniting a desire to grow stronger. In truth, they all possessed powerful bloodlines that had long lain dormant. Now, under the battlefield’s crucible, their true potential was beginning to emerge.

“Are you not afraid of death?” asked Long Chen.

“Naturally, we are. But we’re more afraid of living worthless lives and dying with regrets!” replied that disciple.

Long Chen smiled, pleased with the outcome. From these millions of disciples, several hundred thousand new warriors were born. That was not bad. As for those people who didn’t dare to step onto the battlefield, they probably would stay as they were for the rest of their lives. He couldn’t hope for them to join the battlefield, but they could always do srandom work for the academy.

“Let’s go!” Long Chen waved his hand again. Under the Dragonblood Legion’s lead, everyone left with high spirits. Once they were out of the High Firmament Academy, Xia Chen took out a formation disc, causing many spots of light to appear on it.

These spots were Xia Chen’s markers, sglowing brightly, others dimly. The bright spots were closest, while the dark ones were far away. After confirming their target, Xia Chen took out dozens of formation discs and placed them around everyone. Spatial fluctuations erupted as the discs exploded, and Long Chen and the others vanished.

When they reappeared, they were standing in front of a majestic mountain gate. The gate had the “Free and Unfettered Sect” written on it.

The Free and Unfettered Sect had countless years of history in the Sovereign Emperor Heaven. They were a powerful faction whose mining businesses spread throughout three large domains, boasting plenty of experts and disciples. In the Sovereign Emperor Heaven, they were considered a large and reputable sect.

When Long Chen and the others arrived, the disciples guarding the gate jumped in terror and hastily sounded the alarm. As a result, an ear-piercing alarm rang throughout the Free and Unfettered Sect.

“Who goes there?!” A shout rang out as an elder wielding a staff appeared in front of the gate, backed by countless experts.

“A Human Emperor?” Guo Ran and the others were surprised. The Sovereign Emperor Heaven was indeed a land of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. There was actually a Human Emperor in this place.

“Who are you?! What business do you have with the Free and Unfettered Sect?!” demanded the Human Emperor. He was the master of the sect.

Long Chen eyed his indignant appearance and sneered. “I’m not here to waste words. Hand over those who participated in the attack on the High Firmament Academy, or the Free and Unfettered Sect will cease to exist.”

“What are you talking about?! When did my Free and Unfettered Sect attack the High Firmament Academy? Bring out your proof!” shouted the Human Emperor.

“I’ll count until three,” said Long Chen coldly. “One!”

“You... For the oldest academy in the nine heavens and ten lands to maliciously slander people, you’ve really fallen!” raged the Human Emperor.

“Two!” Long Chen continued, ignoring the man’s protests. He had complete confidence in Xia Chen’s marker, which not even a Human Emperor could erase in less than ten days.

“What are you planning?! Are you making up excuses to destroy the Free and Unfettered Sect?! As expected, a nine star heir really exists to destroy the entire world! Are you starting with us? Even if you kill us, do you think you can kill everyone in the nine heavens and ten lands?!” roared the Human Emperor, his words dripping with venom.

This Human Emperor’s insidious words instantly angered Guo Ran and the others. The old man was trying to use the legend of a nine-star heir as a shield, forcing Long Chen into a difficult position. If Long Chen attacked, it would validate the legend, causing the entire world to panic and unite against him.

“Three.” Long Chen ignored the Human Emperor's schemes and finished his countdown.

Sword Qi slashed toward the Human Emperor, who hastily raised his staff to block it. However, Yue Zifeng’s sword effortlessly cut through the staff and continued forward, slicing apart the gates, the main palace, and the mountains beyond.

The entire Free and Unfettered Sect was split in half by Yue Zifeng’s sword. Terrified cries echoed from within the sect.

“Our karmic luck divine pool!”

Yue Zifeng’s sword not only killed the gate master and sliced apart the Free and Unfettered Sect, but it destroyed their karmic luck divine pool as well. A flood of karmic luck exploded into the air, signaling the end of the Free and Unfettered Sect’s fortune within the nine heavens and ten lands. From this moment on, the Free and Unfettered Sect would cease to exist.

“Long Chen, I’ll never forgive you!” A furious roar rang out as a half-step Human Emperor charged out of the shattered sect.
