Chapter 2568 - 2569: The Hero Returns

Chapter 2568: Chapter 2569: The Hero Returns

Lin Chen’s power now has not only been fully restored but also advanced further compared to before. It’s just a pity that the Supreme Elder and others knew nothing about it.

In everyone’s eyes, Lin Chen had completely fallen off the cliff and become a pile of bones, with no chance of surviving.

So, they didn’t take it seriously.

At this moment, everyone focused their main attention on the giant fire dragon not far ahead, as its abilities were terrifying beyond measure, and these people were no match for it.

The fire dragon knew that its transformation time was almost up and had to use this last opportunity to launch the most intense attack, opening its mouth to the extreme.

All its power was concentrated around its mouth, spewing a massive Fireball at the pond. If this giant Fireball landed in the pond, then these people were, without a doubt, doomed.

The Supreme Elder could sense that the fire dragon’s power was already running out; as long as they could withstand this last attack, they could escape this calamity.

"Everyone, we must now unite and face this test. If that attack falls, we’re all done for."

The Supreme Elder’s viewpoint was clear, and the surrounding people nodded in agreement, channeling all their power to the Supreme Elder.

After gathering everyone’s strength, the Supreme Elder formed an extremely large protective shield in front of him. The gigantic Fireball from the opponent fell on the shield, causing an unprecedented shock to those around.

Wave after wave of ongoing shockwaves quickly spread, affecting many large trees and mountains around, rapidly drying up the pond.

The previously clear pool water had completely vanished, with the fishes and shrimps inside turning into a pile of bones.

The attack launched by the fire dragon indeed sent shivers down the spine of many witnesses, seeming like a demon from the Asura hell, unmanageable to handle.

Several people behind already spewed blood, like the small overlord of Tianshan, who, with their weaker skills, had already fallen to the ground due to severe injuries.

As for other powerhouses like those from the Eastern World, they had suffered minor injuries.

After launching this attack, the Supreme Elder fell from mid-air to the ground, as his transformation time had just ended. He covered his chest with his hand, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The Supreme Elder knew that his failure to kill them all just now would inevitably lead to these people’s frenzied revenge. He tried to rise from the ground, holding his chest.

But even with great effort, it was in vain.

Seeing the Supreme Elder down and out, the others around were overjoyed.

Because the Tianshan patriarch was hurt by the Supreme Elder earlier, they decided to finish him off immediately.

The Tianshan patriarch pulled out a longsword emitting a white radiance, dazzling and bright, and approached the Supreme Elder step by step.

Having gone through the vicissitudes of life and seen all life and death, the Supreme Elder could confront calmly even with the longsword at his neck.

"I told you not to meddle, and you wouldn’t listen. The one we want to deal with isn’t you, yet you try to put us to death."

The Tianshan patriarch felt more curious about Lin Chen, wondering what kind of divine being he might be to have such close ties with the Supreme Elder.

The Supreme Elder showed disdain for the person in front of him, slowly standing up to face him.

Even though the Tianshan patriarch knew it would be an easy job to kill the Supreme Elder now.

But for some reason, at the moment their eyes met, he still felt a shiver down his spine.

After a while, another person approached, the Supreme Elder.

"Let it be, after all, the Supreme Elder is a great figure; we should let him die with some dignity."

The skills of the Supreme Elder and the Supreme Elder were actually similar, but due to the seal’s impact, the Supreme Elder was not a match for the Supreme Elder now.

The Supreme Elder understood the profound importance of dignity to a strong person. If he were just killed by the Tianshan patriarch beside him, it would be somewhat humiliating.

"Are we going to let him go just like that?"

The Supreme Elder indeed greatly admired the intelligence of the Tianshan patriarch. Didn’t I just say? Give him a decent way to die.

"Now, go jump off the endless cliff yourself; we won’t force you."

The Eastern World also respected the Supreme Elder greatly. Although the Azure Dragon Clan had already declined, with strength not as it used to be, the glorious days of the Supreme Elder were still fresh in his mind.

As a great man, he should die with honor.

"Indeed, there’s a cliff not far ahead, you should go."

The tone of the Eastern World’s words was devoid of any warmth, leaving one cold-hearted after hearing them.

The Supreme Elder knew that the current situation was hopeless. Even if he escaped today, the Dark Gang’s attack on the Azure Dragon Clan meant only destruction for the Azure Dragon Clan.

The Dark Gang was simply too terrifying.

Looking at the people in front of him, the Supreme Elder felt no hatred, but rather some gratitude.

To die at their hands today was better than being taken down by the Dark Gang entirely in the future.

He slowly turned around and walked toward the abyss ahead.

Gazing at the bottomless cliff, sadness welled up within him, as a lifetime of heroism, years of painstaking cultivation with unyielding diligence, and yet he would end his life at this endless cliff.

As he was preparing to jump, Nangong Xueqi stepped forward, trying to stop him.

"Senior, it’s not the last moment yet. Never give up hope."

Nangong Xue had countless flaws, but never giving up until the end was her biggest trait.

No matter what happens, you must always remain calm and confront everything with poise.

Never compromise easily.

"It is the last moment now, there’s no hope. I’m no match for them; they are far stronger than I am."

As he said this, his tone was filled with unprecedented helplessness, and the end of a hero often invokes regret.

He closed his eyes and walked step by step toward the endless cliff in front, thinking perhaps everything would end once he jumped down.
