The current situation left no room for Long Chen to let his guard down. He pushed forward with all his might, desperate to shake off his pursuers, but the experts from the major powers behind him were just as fast.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

A few sects renowned for their speed were exceptionally fast, catching up to Long Chen in an instant.

"Boy, just surrender!" an elder from a Second-class Power shot Long Chen a sinister smile. A powerful aura then burst from his body as the battle qi within him rapidly condensed, forming a swirling vortex that swept towards Long Chen.

Moreover, as this attack descended, numerous other sect elders known for their speed also arrived. Powerful auras erupted from each of them, one after another, in a relentless barrage directed at Long Chen.

BOOM! 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

The powerful attacks converged on him.

Facing their combined assault, Long Chen reached out, and the incredibly sharp Blackwind Sword appeared instantly in his hand. With a casual swing, a powerful Sword Qi burst forth.

BOOM!

With a deafening roar, the attacks unleashed by his pursuers were all devoured by the Sword Qi. Yet, its power was undiminished as it continued to sweep toward the sect elders.

Seeing this, the elders were shocked and hastily conjured a Defensive Barrier in front of themselves.

BANG!

The Defensive Barriers they created were instantly shattered by Long Chen’s Sword Qi.

PFFT!

The sect elders who had come to besiege Long Chen suddenly convulsed, spitting up blood as a series of pig-like squeals echoed out. Their bodies burst apart, turning into mists of blood and leaving no intact corpses behind!

After dealing with them, Long Chen didn’t stop, continuing to press forward at high speed. However, he had only advanced a hundred meters when a massive, blood-red hand suddenly descended from the sky, grabbing straight for him.

Confronted with this attack, Long Chen raised the Blackwind Sword high. A terrifying Sword Intent immediately exploded from the blade. With a dull thud, the blood-red Palm Shadow descending toward Long Chen was instantly annihilated by the Sword Intent.

Just then, an authoritative voice rang out.

"Boy, you’ve run out of options. Why not surrender now?"

As the voice faded, several figures appeared above Long Chen. The newcomers were from the Xueying Sect, and the one who had just spoken was an elder of that sect. Standing beside him were Xue Wuying and several of the Xueying Sect’s elites.

Aside from the Xueying Sect, several more figures suddenly appeared around Long Chen. This time, it was members of the Ancient Maple Hall, led by one of their elders. With him were He Luo and many other elite disciples of the hall.

In addition, members of the Wonderful Sound Sect were present, led by Xu Huanhuan. She observed Long Chen from a distance, her eyes not only devoid of hostility but filled with a growing interest. The Wonderful Sound Sect kept its distance, as if intentionally, and Xu Huanhuan had yet to make a single move against Long Chen.

Just then, an immense pressure descended from the sky, instantly enveloping him. Long Chen’s body felt heavy, as if the weight of Mount Tai was pressing down on his shoulders, causing him great discomfort. Faced with such pressure, he could only frantically circulate the battle qi in his body to resist its influence.

The new arrivals were from the Domain Alliance! The two Enforcers and the elites of the Domain Alliance all floated in mid-air, staring down at Long Chen with predatory eyes.

Suddenly, an ancient and majestic voice boomed.

"Kid, where do you think you can run?

"This is the Domain Alliance. Whether you live or die is my decision alone!"

As the voice fell, a figure appeared in the sky and slowly descended, looking down on Long Chen from above.

Faced with this massive show of force, Long Chen remained unfazed. He even revealed a faint smile. "Interesting. I never thought the day would come when I, Long Chen, would have such pull in the God-Devil Domain. To think I could get so many sects to chase my tail like this."

At his words, the faces of the sect members from the God-Devil Domain immediately grew grim. None of them had expected that Long Chen, at death’s door, would still dare to utter such insulting words. He was simply courting death!

In contrast to the crowd’s fury, Xu Huanhuan smiled faintly from a distance. She watched Long Chen with great interest, murmuring to herself, "To think he still dares to joke at a time like this. He truly fears nothing."

An elder beside Xu Huanhuan said coldly, "He’s just an arrogant brat who’s in way over his head. Soon, he won’t even know what killed him."

Hearing this, Xu Huanhuan glanced at the elder. "But I don’t think he will die here today."

The elder looked at her, astonished. "Young Mistress, what makes you think that?"

Xu Huanhuan replied, "Intuition. I can sense that he is no ordinary person, unless my judgment is off. If he can escape a situation like this, I think he would be someone worth befriending."

Hearing that she even had the thought of befriending Long Chen, the elder was shocked and hastily lowered his voice. "Young Mistress, that’s out of the question! This kid is beset on all sides and has become a primary target in our God-Devil Domain. If we associate with him, I fear our Wonderful Sound Sect will be implicated. This concerns the very future and development of our sect! I implore you, Young Mistress, to consider the bigger picture!"

As he spoke, the elder bowed slightly to Xu Huanhuan.

Seeing his anxious expression, Xu Huanhuan couldn’t help but smile. "Don’t worry, Elder. I know how to assess a situation. Naturally, I wouldn’t gamble with the future and development of our Wonderful Sound Sect.

"I was merely suggesting that *if* he truly possesses such heaven-defying talent, our sect could help him from the shadows and place him in our debt. This way, no one could blame us.

"Then, in the future, when he truly rises to power, we can use this favor to build a friendly relationship. Wouldn’t that be killing two birds with one stone?"
