Chapter 1456 1456

Rise of the Demon God

”As expected,” He muttered. 

He focused on Xue Min. “You see? Even she can’t defeat me. She is sacrificing you to get me tired. In the end, you’ll die for no reason at all. Step aside and don’t waste my time.”

Xue Min didn’t step back. She took a deep breath. “You don’t scare me. I have faith that I can face you!”

”Why do you want to die for that lady? Is that really your desire?” Long Chen asked, sighing.

 

”Everyone underestimated me all my life! She was the perfect candidate since our childhood. No matter what it was, she was always selected to lead everyone just because she had the bloodline of the Queen.”

” I wasn’t even given the opportunity to prove myself! I had to work hard for every opportunity. Meanwhile, she got whatever she wanted served to her on a golden plate! This time I won’t stand back and lose this opportunity!”

”I will show everyone what I can do! I will show them that I am worthy of the throne! I will prove that I am strong enough to lead! I will kill you, and then I will take Her Majesty back to the Clan, getting the appreciation that I deserve!”  Xue Min declared. 

Long Chen simply shook his head. “You are a dreamer, it seems. But your dreams won’t save you. This is your last warning. Stand aside!”

Long Chen didn’t even want to waste energy fighting a Phoenix at this time since he wanted to save his energy now that he knew the intentions of the Rainbow Phoenix. 

If he was able to defeat the Rainbow Phoenix and still had some energy left, only then was she going to think of killing the Phoenix, but not at this point. 

He wanted her to step aside on her own since he couldn’t avoid her and Teleport on the other side directly because of the restrictions. 

Despite his repeated Warnings, Xue Min refused to budge. 

Instead, she raised her hand. 

A red fire came out of her hand, taking the shape of a Family Red Sword. 

The flaming Sword solidified in his hand. 

”The soul weapon of a Godly Beast?” Long Chen asked. “It seems like I can’t avoid the battles.”

Since it was decided that he must fight, the only thing he could do was to finish the battle fast, so he wasn’t sure exhausted. 

He also held his sword firmly as his figure flickered. 

He couldn’t Teleport, but his speed wasn’t slow either. Within a second, he appeared right before the girl. 

Even though his speed was fast, the Phoenixes were also known for their speed. They were one of the mythical beasts known for their speed and reflexes. 

Xue Min blocked the attack of Long Chen and even managed to kick his chest, making him fly back. 

Long Chen landed back on the ground a few meters away from the form. 

”You are very slow,” Xue Min commented

Two flaming wings appeared on her back, boosting her strength further. This time she flew towards Long Chen instead. 

Her speed was even faster than the speed of Long Chen. He was only barely able to keep his eyes on the girl. 

This time he blocked her attack but only barely. She was so hard to catch that her Sword was already close to his neck by the time he blocked her. 

”Little Snow, are you really not going to step down? You know it’s hard to keep both of us safe at the same time?” Long Chen asked as he jumped back to create some gap. 

Little Snow was still sitting on his shoulders, refusing to move. 

”Slow,” the Rainbow Phoenix commented, seeing the battle between the two. “I guess I really overestimated you since you had the sword and a contract with her.”

”I didn’t ask for your opinion,” Long Chen let out as he continued avoiding the attacks. He was trying to guess the pattern of the attacks and how Xue Min fought, all, so he didn’t need to waste his time. 

He could easily get some advantage in speed, but he needed to spend a lot of energy. In fact, he could also kill the girl instantly if he used the Dark Sacrifice, but he was going to lose control of his body like last time if he did. 

There were so many considerations in his mind, and all told him that he needed to keep his focus and fight smart at the time. 

’Alright, that should be enough. I know how you fight now. Your entire focus is on overwhelming the enemy with your speed and covering all weak points. Now that I know your movement, time to show you what I can do.”

After understanding her plans, Long Chen smiled, formulating a plan. 

He moved back once again like he did many times before, but this time he knew how she was going to attack since she already did the same many times. 

Just as he expected, Xue Min appeared above her sword down. At the same time, the Flaming Arrows came from all four directions, covering all points of escape. 

Throughout the battle, Long Chen had barely managed to avoid the attack and the arrows, getting some wounds in return, but this time was different. 

”You coward, will you only keep running? I was worried for no reason!” Xue Min said, bursting into laughter, but her laughter soon stopped as she saw Long Chen standing still. He didn’t move. 

The flaming arrows stabbed him like the sword, but everything passed through his body. 

”Illusion?” she exclaimed, shocked. 

The Rainbow Phoenix smirked, watching Long Chen’s tactics. She knew exactly where he was. 

Xue Min was above the illusion of Long Chen, but the Rainbow Phoenix was looking behind her since Long Chen was already present there.

Realizing it was an illusion, Xue Min tried running away just to be safe from any sudden attack. 

She moved her body to the side, only to fly straight into the Sword of Long Chen, which was invisible to her because of the illusion. 

The sword sliced through her head which flew high in the sky while her body kept moving sideways. 

Her speed was so fast that this same advantage became her disadvantage as she flew straight into the sword. Even as she felt her neck being sliced, she couldn’t stop herself in time.  

After a few seconds, her body dropped to the ground. 

”Easy and energy saving. Anything else?” Long Chen asked, turning to the Rainbow Phoenix.
