<h4>Chapter 430 - Rewind</h4>
Everyone shouted once more when they saw what was happening. They knew Long Chen was in deep trouble once the ck-eyed Sword Emperor appeared. Once the demonic beast was defeated, Long Chen would be dead as well since he would have to fight against two Sword Emperors.
But no one had thought that Long Chen would choose to save the demonic beast when the golden-eyed Sword Emperor was about to kill it. If that was the case, Long Chen would have to deal with attacks from two different directions, and one of them would surely take his life.
“Xiang, Nine Devils Ancestral Fire! Aim for the golden-eyed Sword Emperor!” Long Chen shouted at Xiang as he blocked off the golden-eyed Emperor’s Supreme Sovereign Sword! The sh caused an explosion, but Long Chen had the strength to fend it off!
But his luck was over. No one had expected the appearance of the second Sword Emperor. While Long Chen managed to block the golden-eyed Sword Emperor’s attack, the ck-eyed Sword Emperor’s attacknded on him and sted a massive hole in his chest. Blood and flesh sprayed everywhere.
Long Chen was dead!
Everyone saw it happen.
Long Chen had suffered a massive injury. His body had almost been blown to smithereens by that attack, and there was no chance he had survived.
Everyone on the wall sighed. They had thought Long Chen was a monstrous genius when they saw him go toe to toe with the Sword Emperor at that age. No one knew what to feel after they watched a genius that surpassed Lin Zichen die. Some of them thought that it was a shame.
A rising star had been destroyed just like that.
Everything was silent.
All of them stared at Long Chen’s horrifying corpse.
The Sword Emperors stopped and looked as well. They could sense that Long Chen’s life force was dissipating rapidly; he would be dead in just a few breaths.
The Sword Emperors looked at each other and sighed in relief. They had thought Zhao Qingyun was joking when he said Long Chen was on their level, but then they experienced how strong Long Chen was. If they hadn’t worked together, one of them would’ve been killed today.
“What a monstrous genius. Such a shame he chose to oppose me ...”
Long Chen’s corpse slowly started slumping to the ground, and the two Sword Emperors shook their heads. Long Chen was dead.
People sighed on the wall.
All of them were looking forward to seeing how much stronger Long Chen would get, but now he was dead.
If Long Chen had chosen to save himself and escaped as fast as he could, he might’ve been able to grow strong enough to win against the Sword Emperor one day. Unfortunately, he had sacrificed his life for Xiang. Even though it was the wrong move, everyone was touched by his actions.
They would remember Long Chen’s name for a long time.
Long Chen’s body was slowly slumping towards the ground.
Everyone closed their eyes because they couldn’t bear to watch it, but they failed to notice a strange rippleing from his chest and covering his bloody body. In just a single breath, his body turned back to normal and his wounds closed up; even the blood he had sprayed on the field flew back into his body.
Long Chen’s eyes lit up, and he was unscathed! There was not a single injury in sight!
Those who had witnessed it couldn’t believe what had happened! They had seen everything with their very own eyes, but they could notprehend it!
The appearance of the two Sword Emperors was shocking enough, but Long Chen’s resurrection was beyond shocking. Their understanding of cultivation had been blown away again and again. They never would’ve believed it if they didn’t see it first hand.
It was as if Long Chen had returned to the past!
Long Chen had used the technique given by the stone talisman: Rewind. This was why he had chosen to save Xiang. On the verge of death, Long Chen activated the technique and rewound time back to when he was unhurt.
As long as he activated it within ten seconds of taking damage, he could return back to normal!
The stone talisman was incredible. He had tested it before the fight, and it indeed did work. Except for Xiang and Ling Xi, no one knew how to react to what was happening. How had Long Chen been revived?!
Xiang had been waiting for this chance.
The golden-eyed Sword Emperor had been trying to kill Xiang while Long Chen was in the middle of the two to block the attack. After Long Chen recovered, he immediately swung the Demon Emperor Sword!
Long Chen did not hold back against the Sword Emperor. His Demon Emperor Sword Qi was so fast that the Sword Emperor could not react to it. Blood sprayed everywhere as his eyes were destroyed.
The golden-eyed Sword Emperor howled in pain and was still confused by what was happening when Xiang leapt above Long Chen and spat the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire. The Sword Emperor cried out before his voice was cut off and he froze into a ck ice statue.
The golden-eyed Sword Emperor was dead!
To think that the fight would turn around in just a few breaths! From the death of Long Chen, to his resurrection, and to the death of the Sword Emperor. It was too shocking for the people to process.
This was beyond a miracle! All of them rubbed their eyes in disbelief and pinched themselves, thinking that they were dreaming. But this was reality. Long Chen was still alive aftering back from the dead, while the golden-eyed Sword Emperor was dead!
Rewind had caused such a huge upset!
But Long Chen would’ve preferred not to use it, because it was scary and painful to use Rewind to surprise his opponent. It had taken a lot of willpower to face a brush with death, and he had only done it to save Xiang. His heart was still beating from the gamble. <i>I will never choose to get hit by a lethal attack again!</i>
Everything was silent once more.
Xiang stood at Long Chen’s side and thanked him. Long Chen had not only saved his life, he had given Xiang a chance for revenge. One of the Sword Emperors was dead, and now it would be much easier to kill the second one. Long Chen could fight at full power too.
Long Chen suddenly realized something when he looked at the frozen golden-eyed Sword Emperor.
Everything in the golden-eyed Sword Emperor’s possession was frozen and would turn to dust along with him. <i>Does that mean the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit is gone too?</i>
Long Chen almost passed out when he thought of that. The Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit was his goal, and if it was gone just like that, he wouldn’t know what to do next.
But using the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire was the correct choice to kill the golden-eyed Sword Emperor. Long Chen had forgotten about the Universe Pouch during the critical moment. Ling Xi noticed his pale face. “Brother Chen, what’s wrong?”
She was still shaken up after watching Long Chen nearly die.
“The Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit might be gone ...” Long Chen pointed at the frozen body of the golden-eyed Sword Emperor.
“Gone?” Ling Xi was secretly happy. “Brother Chen, maybe the heavens are giving me a chance to stay with you. Just listen to me. Even though you are right, I still don’t want to leave you!”
“Wait, we still have one more enemy to deal with.” Long Chen frowned. He would never give up in his pursuit to obtain a Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit. He red at the other Sword Emperor. The ck-eyed Sword Emperor was in anguish after seeing his other half dead.
“Long Chen, what is happening?!” he howled as he red at Long Chen.
“I’m immortal.”
He took a few steps forward. “I will spare you if you give me the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit.”
“How do you know I have it?” The ck-eyed Sword Emperor was astonished.
Long Chen noticed the Sword Emperor’s movement. He clutched his own waist lightly. That meant that the fruit was with the ck-eyed Sword Emperor!
