Chapter 1056: Chapter 1055: Divine Dragon Blood Array

"Kid, that thing’s got its eyes on you!"

Just as Ling Chen had barely flown out on his sword, the Human Emperor’s voice suddenly echoed urgently in his mind.

"What?"

Ling Chen glanced back, and indeed, the black Demon Shadow that had been very far away had already closed in within less than a kilometer, its speed astonishingly rapid, almost in the blink of an eye, it was swiftly approaching him!

"What is this damned thing chasing me for?"

Ling Chen’s eyelid twitched; he had personally witnessed the horror of this black Demon Shadow. If it caught up with him, it would likely mean certain death.

"You just used the power of the Divine Dragon Jade, and it seems to have sensed it."

The Human Emperor spoke calmly, "This thing appears to be very sensitive to the power of the Divine Dragon Jade. Could it be that the unique function of the Divine Dragon Jade, its suppressive effect on them, has caused them to focus on you so particularly? It’s quite likely."

"Why didn’t you tell me this sooner?"

Ling Chen couldn’t help but twitch his mouth; he didn’t expect that just because he was a bit greedy earlier, using the Divine Dragon Jade to purify some relics, it attracted the attention of this Demon Shadow. Had he known, he wouldn’t have coveted such minor benefits.

"I just discovered it myself. Save your energy and run." The Human Emperor said helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Ling Chen’s heart sank, and he immediately pushed his True Qi to the limit, accelerating furiously towards the lake.

"That thing seems to be chasing after Chen Ling’s direction." Over on the Huangfu Clan’s side, the hook-nosed elder, upon looking in the distance, said with a bit of surprise.

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Qi was first stunned, then joy surged from his eyes, sneering: "Haha, what an unlucky kid; even the Corpse Evil doesn’t like him. It’s the perfect chance to use the Corpse Evil to finish him off, saving us the trouble."

"Let’s go."

As his voice fell, he waved his hand, leading the Huangfu Clan’s people in another direction, rushing towards the depths of the Cave Mansion.

"Chen Ling, chased by that Corpse Evil, how unfortunate."

Murong Qingcheng too witnessed Ling Chen being pursued by the Demon Shadow, her pretty face showing a hint of surprise.

"That guy snatched your Earth Heart Fire Lotus earlier, and now this is his fate. I’d say he deserves it."

A strong member from the Azure Dragon Family said.

"This person had potential, it’s a pity he lost his life here."

Murong Qingcheng didn’t think Ling Chen could escape alive from the Demon Shadow, the odds were too slim, and she immediately signaled to the Azure Dragon Family, "Let’s go, we’ll leave here too."

With that, the members of the Azure Dragon Family followed her, breaking away from the blockade of several Corpse Evils, heading towards the depths of the Cave Mansion as well.

As for other strong individuals below the lake, they were beginning to evacuate too; with too many Corpse Evils and no Treasure to be gained, staying here was pointless.

At this moment, Ling Chen had already dashed out of the lava lake, and after sprinting madly for more than ten miles on his sword, he looked behind him and saw no shadows, finally relaxing. But the next moment, his heart suddenly throbbed; he abruptly raised his head and saw the space ahead twist slightly as a burly figure enshrouded in evil Devil Qi eerily emerged.

"Not good!"

Ling Chen abruptly halted, his heart sinking, "I can only fight desperately."

Taking a deep breath, Ling Chen’s gaze gradually turned icy and blade-sharp. No matter how formidable this thing might be, he, Ling Chen, would not sit and wait for death.

"Don’t panic, the Divine Dragon Jade has a strong restraining effect on Corpse Evils; give it a try and see if you can impact it, strive for a chance of survival."

The Human Emperor’s voice echoed in his mind.

"All or nothing."

With no way to run, Ling Chen could only forcefully attempt it.

Turning his hand, he took out the Divine Dragon Jade, forming seals with his hands, activating it as taught by the Human Emperor.

A strand of peculiar blood-colored energy suddenly emerged from the Divine Dragon Jade, gradually spreading like a small sun. Ling Chen pointed fiercely at the Divine Dragon Jade, and a blood-colored little dragon suddenly shot straight out, striking fiercely at the Demon Shadow’s body.

Sizzle sizzle!

The moment the blood-colored little dragon hit the Demon Shadow, white smoke immediately rose from its body, followed by a piercing, grating shriek.

"It worked!"

Seeing this, joy surged on Ling Chen’s face; it seemed the Divine Dragon Jade was indeed the nemesis of these Corpse Evils, it hadn’t let him down!

"Be careful!"

The Human Emperor transmitted a reminder to Ling Chen.

The impact of the blood-colored little dragon indeed caused significant damage to the Demon Shadow; an entire area was blasted into a black hole. However, it wasn’t fatal; the Demon Shadow’s eyes glinted coldly, locking onto Ling Chen in midair, a low growl emanating, murderous intent overflowing.

Bam!

The Demon Shadow punched fiercely, the sinister fist strength like a black meteor, tearing through the sky, shooting rapidly towards Ling Chen.

"Divine Dragon Blood Array!"

Ling Chen’s expression changed, and with his full exertion, the blood-colored small sun around the Divine Dragon Jade suddenly dissipated, transforming into a blood dragon that wriggled rapidly, moving at high speed along mysterious paths, forming an array formation that blocked the front.

Boom!

The fist strength, like a black meteor, bombarded the Divine Dragon Blood Array, producing an ear-shattering sound, but the next moment, the Divine Dragon Blood Array suddenly spun; an astounding energy wave spread out, and the black meteor-like fist strength rapidly disintegrated, finally turning into nothingness, completely dispelled.

"Now’s the time!"

As the black fist strength was dispelled, a low shout from the Human Emperor resonated in Ling Chen’s mind.

Upon hearing this, Ling Chen’s pupils suddenly narrowed, a brilliant light shot from his eyes, and simultaneously, he jabbed the center of the Divine Dragon Blood Array, a blood-colored beam fiercely shot out.

Thud!

The blood-colored beam struck the Demon Shadow’s brow, piercing into it, at that moment, the Demon Shadow’s expression suddenly turned pained, and a chaotic glow began swirling intensely in its dark, ink-like eyes.
