Chapter 5401 Wind God’s Blessing

No one had expected Ye Linfeng to mobilize his faith energy and charge straight at Tang Wan-er.

Divine power surged around Ye Linfeng, causing space itself to collapse. The Hidden Dragon warriors were horrified to find themselves fully immobilized, unable to twitch or even blink.

“Hahaha, when I descend, all life must kneel before me!” Ye Linfeng declared arrogantly, waving his hand, causing an overwhelming divine pressure to crash down.

However, Tang Wan-er remained unfazed. While Ye Linfeng and Long Chen clashed, she had been gathering power quietly, feeling an inexplicable intuition that he might strike at her. Now that he had, a full moon manifested in her Heavenly Fate Disk, and wind energy surged wildly around her.

Just by gripping the hilt of her sword, Tang Wan-er silenced the wild wind energy. And the moment she drew her sword, the world split cleanly in two. Her sword strike sliced spacetime and shattered the laws of the ten thousand Daos.

“Wind God’s Blessing—Wind Moon Slash!” Tang Wan-er cried out, channeling all the power she had been storing up into this one attack.

Ye Linfeng’s domain was instantly shredded by her attack. Fierce Sword Qi, infused with wind and divine power, shot toward him.

As a disciple of the Wind God Sea Pavilion, Tang Wan-er inherited the Wind God’s power. Moreover, in this place, she had the Wind God’s blessing, so she could also summon divine power. Though her cultivation base limited her ability to wield it fully, this sliver of divine power was enough to cut through Ye Linfeng’s domain like tofu.

To Ye Linfeng, Tang Wan-er had been nothing more than a pretty distraction, someone he could use to manipulate Long Chen. He never expected her strength to rival Long Chen’s. But all of a sudden, this little kitten transformed into a tiger that wanted his life. At first, he had held back, intending to capture her alive due to her importance to Long Chen, but now, his complacency was costing him.

Seeing Tang Wan-er’s sword slice through his domain, Ye Linfeng was shocked. He hastily retreated, forming hand seals to summon eighteen divine shields, each forged from pure faith energy.

However, Tang Wan-er’s Sword Qi cleaved through them as easily as if they were paper, slicing toward his Ye Linfeng’s. He twisted just in time, narrowly avoiding a fatal strike, though her blade clipped his ear. Blood sprayed as the Sword Qi tore into his shoulder.

Tang Wan-er’s fierce counterattack stunned everyone. No one had expected her to possess such terrifying power.

Outside the barrier, even the audience was speechless—everyone except Ye Lingkong. Smiling, he muttered, “The Wind God’s blessing? Is it truly just a blessing?”

Tang Wan-er shattered Ye Linfeng’s domain with this attack, relieving the pressure on the Hidden Dragon Legion. With their freedom restored, they hastily retreated, knowing their presence would only hinder Tang Wan-er and Long Chen in the battle.

At this moment, Long Chen also caught up with Ye Linfeng. To prevent Long Chen and Tang Wan-er from launching a coordinated attack, Ye Linfeng summoned countless barriers imbued with spatial energy around himself. These barriers served as a potent life-saving technique, designed to transport anyone who breached them to unknown locations. On the battlefield, this maneuver was nearly impossible to counter for someone at the same cultivation level.

Although the spatial barriers would soon dissolve, absorbed back into the energy of heaven and earth, they only needed to last a few breaths. That brief delay could be enough to alter the course of a fight.

Long Chen arrived at Tang Wan-er’s side and saw that she was slightly pale. Forcibly summoning the Wind God’s blessing had clearly taken a toll on her body, as she wasn’t yet at the necessary realm to wield it.

“Long Chen, let me handle him. I have the Wind God’s blessing, and it directly counters his god energy,” Tang Wan-er said softly, noticing the fury in his clenched jaw.

As another user of god energy, Tang Wan-er had an advantage over this so-called fake god. After all, the Wind God’s blessing was a true god energy, and it directly countered Ye Linfeng’s energy.

“Protect the others and leave this fellow to me. Believe in me,” Long Chen replied, trying his best to keep his voice calm for Tang Wan-er.

The overwhelming killing intent was affecting his control, and his entire body was shaking as he tried to restrain himself. He knew Tang Wan-er had a high chance of defeating Ye Linfeng, but it would come at a painful cost; the Wind God’s blessing was a heavy burden for her body to bear.

Seeing her willing to fight, Long Chen felt his heart ache for her. At the same time, his hatred for Ye Linfeng burned even hotter. He had already vowed that Ye Linfeng would not leave this battlefield alive.

At that moment, Ye Linfeng’s spatial barriers faded, and his wounds were fully recovered. Long Chen stepped forward, his killing intent rising to an unprecedented level.

“Hahaha! Are you angry? Good. Now you won’t run away,” Ye Linfeng sneered. “I wanted to capture that girl to force you into a fight, but it seems I don’t need to anymore.”

“Fine, since that’s what you want...” Long Chen spat.

BOOM!

Long Chen’s starry sea roared to life as his eight stars blazed brilliantly. Flames ignited throughout his entire starry sea, and his aura erupted like a raging volcano.

“Then let’s fight to the death!”

With a roar that shook the heavens, Long Chen charged at Ye Linfeng, his endless killing intent pressing down on the world.
