Chapter 493: Final Spear Strike

Yin Long unsheathed his sword when he saw Elder Hadji taking out his weapon. 

"Hadji, your Winged Devil Race was once neutral! Why did you join the banner of the Dark Devil Race?!" Yin Long shouted angrily as he pointed his sword toward Elder Hadji. Although they weren't friends, they were an acquaintance during their youth. Who knew that they would one day face each other like this? 

Hadji revealed a trace of sadness, but he concealed it and replace it with a serious look. "Yin Long, it has been millions of years since I last saw you! Show me the improvements in your sword techniques!" He shouted as he adjusted his position. 

Elder Hadji's weapon was a short spear. It was only about five feet long with a sharp dagger-like blade at the edge. Its body was made from a sturdy wooden material that was as tough as steel! 

Yin Long sighed and shook his head. From the looks of things, a fight between them was inevitable... "In that case, I will show you the results of my million-year seclusion, Hadji! I hope your spear won't disappoint me!"

Yin Long vanished in midair and reappeared in front of Hadji. He slashed out his sword, bringing with it a devastating power that could tear a mountain into two! 

Hadji frowned when he sensed the overwhelming strength coming from that strike. He tilted his spear slightly downwards to minimize the impact of the attack. 

Clang! 

A line of spark flashed when their weapons clashed! 

Yin Long's face remained calm, his long white hair danced wildly because of the violent wind caused by their clash. 

Meanwhile, Elder Hadji was thrown a few meters away before he managed to stabilize himself. He felt his arms aching considerably after parrying that attack. Although he managed to minimize the impact, the residual damage from that sword slash still numbed his muscles! He was sure that Yin Long wasn't even using his full strength yet! 

"Yin Long! How dare you mock me with this paltry power! Use your full strength! You can't defeat me like this!" Elder Hadji bellowed in rage. He then pounced at Yin Long and thrusted his spear forward! 

A violent cluster of flames followed his attack, aiming to burn down Yin Long! 

Seeing this move, Yin Long casually swiped his sword as he released his true essence to control a fearsome gale of snow that contained millions of bladed snowflakes! 

Bang! Bang! 

When the cloud of smoke receded, Yin Long's steady figure can be seen hovering in midair, holding his sword in hand. In front of him was the bloodied figure of Elder Hadji who was still tightly holding his weapon. The eyes of the winged devil turned cold when he realized the disparity in their power. 

"You've become weaker, Hadji. It seems like your Winged Devil Race has too many problems that it slowed down your cultivation speed. The increase in your strength is also unnoticeable. Did the Dark Devil Race force you guys to submit to them?" Yin Long asked with furrowed eyebrows. His talent was almost similar to Hadji's, but the latter's power stagnated even after many years. He might have experienced something terrible that slowed down his progress.

Hearing this, Elder Hadji shook his head bitterly. "So what of it? We are too weak to protect ourselves against them! If the Leader didn't surrender, our entire race would have been wiped out! They now have more than a dozen Heavenly God Realm experts among them! And the Devil Lord has also reached the peak stage of the Heavenly God Realm! We are powerless against them..." He revealed a look of remorse as he uttered those words. 

Yin Long was shocked at this information. From what they knew, the Dark Devil Race only had about eight Heavenly God Realm experts, so how come there are more than a dozen now?

"We can help you! I encountered an individual that might be able to help you guys. If you're willing to join us, I'll vouch for you!" Yin Long tried to reason with him when he saw how emotional Hadji was. He didn't want to fight this person for he had known him for many years. Despite them not being too close, they still knew each other when they were young. 

Elder Hadji's face suddenly turned hideous when he heard his words. "Help us? Do you even know what you're saying?! Hahaha! Let me tell you! Only someone with the strength similar to the Celestial Emperors can help us in our predicament! As for this person that you mentioned, even the Devil Lord can kill him in just one move! You haven't seen it! You don't know anything! Hahaha! Now that you're involved in this, there will come a time that you'll know what I'm talking about Yin Long! The enemy isn't just the Dark Devil Race! Hahaha!" 

After uttering those words with a crazed expression, Elder Hadji poured all his true essence and he even activated his blood essence to increase the lethality of his next attack! Elder Hadji's aged face turned even older and older the more blood essence he stimulated. 

With bloodshot eyes, Elder Hadji roared. "Yin Long, die!" 

The sky around the area turned blood-red as a fierce aura of destruction came down followed by Elder Hadji's final spear strike! 

Elder Hadji's body was almost torn into shreds as he threw his spear toward Yin Long! 

Swoosh! 

The space cracked and the surroundings vibrated ferociously! 

"Brother Yin!" 

"Brother Yin!"

Yin Long heaved a sigh of relief when he heard those shouts. It was Gu San and Ka Wayan who had come to his rescue right on time! 

"Quick! Release your strongest defensive arts and items to block this spear!" Yin Long shouted urgently at the two old men who were speeding towards him. 

Gu San and Ka Wayan nodded their heads gravely and they immediately took out a few of their life-saving items. They then threw them towards the incoming spear! 

Meanwhile, Yin Long adjusted his breathing and pointed his sword toward the spear. He then released a huge sword wave that almost emptied the true essence in his dantian. 

BANG!
