Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 368: One Against Many!

At this moment, Long Xin was rapidly heading back in the direction she had first entered from.

"Catch her!"

"She has the Gold Bead!"

"Don’t any of you dare try to take it! That Gold Bead is mine!"

A handful of people were chasing Long Xin relentlessly, fighting amongst themselves even as they ran. Each one refused to yield, all of them desperate to get their hands on the Gold Bead she possessed.

Long Xin’s slender brows furrowed. As she fled, she kept glancing back at her pursuers. She didn’t dare to slow down for even a second, forcing herself to maintain a breakneck pace. Fortunately, the men were still attacking one another, which slowed their pursuit. Otherwise, she would have fallen into their clutches by now.

Just then, one of the men realized how close they were to the starting point. "Enough! Everyone, stop fighting for now!" he shouted to the others. "If this continues, none of us will get the Gold Bead, and that woman will be the only one who benefits! If she returns the Gold Bead to the starting point, all our efforts will have been for nothing!"

His words struck a chord. The men found his reasoning sound and unanimously stopped fighting. Their gazes, now united, locked onto Long Xin.

"Wouldn’t it be better to take her down first and then fight over the Gold Bead?" one suggested. "Then, whoever has the strongest fist gets it!"

A bald man declared this and immediately sprinted after Long Xin. Seeing this, the others instantly gave chase as well.

A grim expression crossed Long Xin’s face. She had felt a sliver of relief when they were fighting each other, but she hadn’t expected them to unite against her so quickly. This sudden change made things far more troublesome.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

They were incredibly fast. In just a moment, they had caught up with Long Xin.

Without hesitation, Long Xin unleashed a palm strike.

Seeing this, one of the men immediately countered with his own strike.

BANG!

Their palms slammed together. A terrifying wave of power erupted from the point of impact, sweeping out in all directions.

The man’s expression changed drastically as Long Xin’s palm strike sent him flying. He never would have imagined that she was stronger than him.

Just as the man was thrown back, Long Xin tried to press forward, but a Sharp Sword suddenly slashed at her neck from behind.

Long Xin ducked, swiftly swinging the long sword in her hand to intercept.

CLANG!

The two swords met with a piercing shriek of metal. Two opposing forces exploded at the point of collision, and another terrifying wave of power blasted outwards. The man stumbled back two steps, but Long Xin hadn’t gained any advantage; she was also forced back a step.

Before Long Xin could regain her footing, two more men launched attacks. With their blows about to land, she had no choice but to push off the ground with her toes and leap into the air. She evaded the attacks, but the maneuver left her exposed. The other men seized the opportunity. Stomping on the ground, they shot into the air in unison, launching a combined, powerful strike at her.

With several attacks hurtling toward her and no room to dodge, her slender brows knitted tightly. Left with no other choice, she rapidly circulated the Battle qi in her body, coalescing it into a Defensive Barrier around herself.

The moment the Defensive Barrier formed, the volley of attacks slammed into it.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

With a series of deafening impacts, ripples of energy erupted outward. The powerful energy ripples swept through the area. At the center of the combined assault, Long Xin’s individual strength was simply no match for their collective power.

In an instant, Long Xin’s face grew visibly pale.

SPURT!

Her insides churned, and a sweet, metallic taste rose in her throat as she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. Even severely injured, Long Xin had to force herself to maintain the circulation of her Battle qi; she didn’t dare stop for even a moment. The consequences of stopping were all too clear.

Seeing her condition, the men burst into wild laughter.

"Haha! She can’t hold on much longer!"

"You think you alone can resist all of us? How laughable! Just surrender already!"

"Hand over the Gold Bead now, and we’ll let you off easy. Otherwise..."

Long Xin’s face was ashen, but even gravely injured, her gaze remained full of calm determination.

"You think this is enough to defeat me?" Long Xin shouted coldly. "Dream on!"

With a wave of her hand, a large pile of medicinal herbs appeared before her. She opened her mouth and swallowed all the rare and precious herbs in a single gulp. Instantly, an overwhelmingly powerful aura erupted from her body.

Witnessing this, the expressions of her attackers froze before twisting into utter shock.

"How is this possible?!"

"Her Cultivation just skyrocketed!"

"Did I see that right? Did she just eat raw medicinal herbs?"

"She’s insane! Absolutely insane! What kind of herbs can boost one’s Cultivation so much in an instant? I want some!"

Everyone present found it utterly unbelievable. If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they never would have believed it was possible.

"You wanted to steal my Gold Bead?" Long Xin’s voice was chilling, her powerful aura beginning to visibly distort the space around her. "Then come and get it!"

She began forming seals with her fingers. A Rune Inscription rapidly materialized and spun before her, gathering a formidable power. Then, from within the inscription, several Sharp Swords slowly emerged.

"Go!"

With a sharp command, Long Xin thrust two fingers forward. The multitude of condensed Sharp Swords shot toward the men like a torrential rain.

Seeing this onslaught, the men’s faces paled, their eyes twitching violently. They scrambled to defend themselves.

As the conjured Sharp Swords continued to surge toward them relentlessly, the men found it impossible to withstand the barrage and were forced back again and again. They were all completely dumbfounded.

None of them could believe that Long Xin could unleash such terrifying power at this critical juncture. She had not only withstood their joint attack but was now forcing them into a steady retreat. It was simply heaven-defying!

Realizing how the tables had turned, one of the men yelled, "If this goes on, all our efforts will be for nothing! Let’s stop holding back and take her down together!"
