Chapter 684: 679. The Fate of Long Ye (First Update) "That reason isn’t good enough. The Long Family has enemies, so why not think about making oneself stronger, rather than choosing to sacrifice my mother’s happiness?"
Wen Yan’s face was a mask of indifference.
To say it kindly, this is a kind of cowardice.
To put it bluntly, it’s downright shameless.
Then, Wen Yan stated bluntly again, "If your father required you to spend your life sharing a bed with someone you dislike, a stranger, what would you do?"
"I wouldn’t do it." Long Yue answered decisively.
Wen Yan said, "Good, since that’s the case, don’t involve yourself in this. Even if Long Ye dares to demand my father’s life, there will be a price to pay even if I don’t kill him."
...
In the ruins.
As the battle between the Devouring Beast and Long Ye continued, the surrounding area of a thousand meters had already fallen into ruins.
Already wounded by the Devouring Power, Long Ye’s forcibly healed wounds with Vein Qi began to tear open after prolonged combat, blood spilling out.
Long Ye’s condition was steadily declining.
Even with the Four-Vortex Diagram’s augmentation.
Even with the Earth Level School Vein Skill attached.
The Devouring Beast remained as ferocious as ever, and Long Ye helplessly thought within himself, "Is this guy not fearing death? I’ve already cut off two of its four arms, yet it continues to charge forward regardless."
Even though I’ve fought on the battlefield for decades.
Even though I’ve been through life-and-death battles over twenty times.
Even though I’ve survived almost certain death three times.
The current battle state still makes his scalp crawl?
This opponent feels no pain and doesn’t fear death at all!
The skeleton monster lacks the sensations of pain and the emotions that arise during combat.
"Here it comes again!"
Finally, after retreating a hundred meters and catching his breath, the Devouring Beast attacked again.
Long Ye had no choice but to grit his teeth and reluctantly continue fighting.
First dodging the Devouring Beast’s charge sideways, then swinging his Blood Axe violently downwards. As the Devouring Beast caught it with one hand, the Blood Axe lifted again, swinging down hard on its spine. A cracking sound could be heard as the spinal bone split, yet the Devouring Beast’s other hand stabbed through the bone gap, pressing against Long Ye’s abdomen.
Bang!
Long Ye was instantly propelled, sliding hundreds of meters through the ruins.
After steadying himself, he looked at his trembling hand, slapped himself sharply, then gritted his teeth and glared at the Devouring Beast.
"Bastard, deliberately exposing your weakness to me!"
Long Ye’s composure broke.
The Devouring Beast’s greatest weakness is its spine.
If the spine supporting the whole body breaks, surely the entire body will fall apart; he doesn’t believe a disassembled skeleton monster can survive.
But earlier, the Devouring Beast deliberately left its spine vulnerable, showing a willingness to go down together!
After steadying himself, just as Long Ye was about to act, a hot liquid surged from his chest and abdomen. Unable to stop himself from vomiting it out, Long Ye forcefully held it back, swallowing the blood down.
Long Ye followed with a furious roar, "Go ahead, continue showing your weakness!"
He refuses to believe that fighting like this would allow the cracked spine of the skeleton monster to endure.
If it’s a desperate fight, who couldn’t join?
Bang!
His Meridian Gate pulsed, initiating a Death Baptism. Following that, Long Ye swung his axe as he charged towards the Devouring Beast.
The two engaged once more in a seemingly endless melee.
Hit for hit.
Competing to see who remains standing in the end!
As time passed bit by bit, Long Ye was blinded with rage, entirely immersed in the will to desperately fight, no other thought crossing his mind.
Because dignity tells him not to fall.
Conviction tells him standing last assures victory.
The Devouring Beast’s spine cracks assure him it won’t last much longer.
Crack!
Suddenly, as an axe blade landed on the Devouring Beast’s spine, the cracked white bone finally snapped.
The massive body of the Devouring Beast began to collapse in the middle, splitting in two!
Upon landing, a dense cloud of dust rose.
