Chapter 2344: Chapter 2334: Going All Out
Feeling Long Yan’s confusion, Yun Huang calmly explained Long Qingtu’s weakness to him. In Yun Huang’s eyes, the Star Astral Cultivation thod was indeed a top-tier martial art, but all techniques had their shortcomings, and this thod was no exception.
However, the biggest shortcoming of the Star Astral Cultivation thod had been well resolved by Long Qingtu—it originally required a fixed position when coordinating moves with its techniques. The essence of this martial art was to acquire the required True Qi from Heaven and Earth, which needed a certain amount of ti. If the position changed, everything had to start over again.
Long Yan thought carefully for a mont. In their previous battles, Long Qingtu had never moved while using techniques. Even when dodging his World Imprison Finger, Long Qingtu had utilized the unique spatial rupturing abilities of the Divine Emperor instead, followed by attacks using raw physical power.
But now, Long Qingtu’s shortcoming had been completely resolved—his mount, the Star Dragon, could freely take him anywhere. Because of this, Yun Huang had called this the “shortcoming of the shortcoming.”
The problem was that Long Yan had no way to deal with the Star Dragon at all, so this apparent shortcoming was thoroughly compensated for.
Long Qingtu had ticulously planned every step of the battle, which was his usual habit. He would always leave himself a way out—a stark contrast to Long Yan. Long Yan had the habit of leaving no retreat, choosing to burn his bridges and defeat his opponent decisively. anwhile, Long Qingtu preferred careful calculation, steadily wearing down his enemy step by step.
The Magic Gun in Long Yan’s hand glead with a terrifying light—there was no other option but to go for it!
He charged towards the Star Dragon in the sky. The Blood Qilin showed no fear, pouring all of its energy into attacks, completely ignoring defense and adopting an injury-for-injury fighting style.
Long Qingtu’s eyes flashed with a sharp glint. “Looks like you’ve realized sothing. How far can you go? Let’s take a good look.”
Qing Li, standing off to the side, was already stunned. The battle unfolding before her was like nothing she had ever experienced before. Why was Long Yan so strong? This near-suicidal fighting style was sothing Qing Li couldn’t even imagine adopting herself.
Her beautiful eyes glimred with a strange light, her heart swayed by the figure in the sky. If it was him, maybe he really could shatter conventional beliefs.
Though Long Yan appeared sowhat handso in battle, he was acutely aware of how dire his current situation was. The Blood Qilin fought like a madman, while the Star Dragon refused to clash directly with it. Instead, it maneuvered strategically, delivering occasional strikes, rendering the entire fight exceptionally steady and calculated on its part.
“I need to co up with a plan—otherwise, I’ll be worn down to death. Yun Huang, do you have any good ideas?”
Long Yan dodged an attack from the Star Dragon and asked. His entire body trembled as the massive tail of the Star Dragon narrowly swept past the Fire Qilin’s body. At the sa ti, stars seed to explode before his eyes.
In the Sea of Consciousness, Yun Huang sat atop the Nine Suns Cauldron, observing the situation unfolding around Long Yan. Although furrowing his brows in contemplation, Yun Huang seed intent on devising a solution. At this point, defeating Long Qingtu’s Star Dragon mount would be a victory—but even this seemingly simple condition appeared out of reach for Long Yan.
Whenever Long Yan approached the Star Dragon, he was t with the fierce starlight attacks from Long Qingtu. Based on the Blood Qilin’s level of defense, it was utterly impossible to withstand even one wave of starlight attacks.
“What if we use the Vermilion Bird Secret to connect through space?”
Yun Huang suddenly furrowed his brows. In theory, it could work, but Long Qingtu was far more perceptive than anyone Long Yan had faced before. His sensory acuity for Divine Abilities far surpassed Long Yan. While deploying the Vermilion Bird’s ability was technically feasible, Long Qingtu would undoubtedly detect it.
“I have to try!”
Behind Long Yan, the phantom of the Vermilion Bird glowed briefly, but it was imdiately perceived by Long Qingtu. Realizing Long Yan’s target was indeed his Star Dragon mount, Long Qingtu revealed a faint smile.
“Seems like you’ve figured it out. But do you really have the confidence to reach the Star Dragon?”
Long Qingtu stood boldly in place. The mont he realized Long Yan was about to unleash his Divine Ability, it had already confird to him that this attack was bound to fail.
“Who knows?”
Long Yan’s lips curled into a grin—a suprely confident expression in Long Qingtu’s eyes. Could it be that he still had so hidden move? Long Qingtu couldn’t afford to take chances. He knew this grandson of his was full of tricks. A single lapse in judgnt could an disaster.
And in the next mont, Long Qingtu understood—Long Yan’s figure had vanished from sight, along with the Blood Qilin.
“Hmph, delusions.”
When the Blood Qilin reappeared behind the Star Dragon, Long Qingtu acted without hesitation, delivering a palm strike that felt as though it could connect with the very heavens. The imnse True Qi from the strike shattered the Blood Qilin into countless pieces in an instant.
“Hmm?”
Even soone as composed as Long Qingtu paused in surprise—the Blood Qilin was indeed annihilated, but Long Yan’s presence had disappeared as well. Sothing wasn’t right.
Although Long Qingtu reacted swiftly, it was too late. Long Yan’s figure descended from the night sky. When deploying the Space Principle, he had prepared two fall points—one behind the Star Dragon, and the other directly above it in high altitude.
The friction on the Qilin Blood Demon Gun had heated the gun’s tip to a glowing crimson hue. Long Yan’s body was enveloped in black flas while torrential Demonic Qi swirled around him. For a fleeting mont, a massive Demon God face appeared on Long Yan’s body, making him seem like a demon unleashed from hell.
His in-hand Magic Gun plunged forcefully into the Star Dragon’s head. The Star Dragon reared back with a deafening wail. Under the Thunderbolt-like strike from Long Yan, the entire night sky shattered into countless fragnts. Even Long Qingtu forgot to recompose himself—his Star Dragon had just disappeared, this easily?
This strike had weaponized every ounce of Long Yan’s power. If it hadn’t worked, he would have had no choice but to ekly follow Long Qingtu back to the Eastern Ancient Clan. But the attack had proven remarkably effective. The solemnity in Long Qingtu’s gaze spoke volus about its impact.
Long Qingtu’s trembling hands gripped the Magic Gun again, his eyes fixated on Long Yan with a complex expression.
Initially using the Vermilion Bird’s Mystic to mislead him, only to teleport the Blood Qilin as a feint while Long Yan himself positioned above the Star Dragon—it was an attack so well-conceived that even Long Qingtu couldn’t help but praise Long Yan. However, he was equally determined to teach Long Yan a lesson since this strategy entirely hinged on the gamble that his opponent would focus all attention on the first location.
A single misstep in this gamble, and Long Yan could have been the one annihilated. While the result was indisputable, the process had been dangerously close to failure.
“But now, you likely have no strength left to fight.”
