Chapter 494: King-tier Combat Technique
The clone possessed more than half of Liu Yiyi’s strength, which meant that it was close to the Seventh Passage Stage. This also meant that it was about as strong as Long Chen in his current state, and this was terrifying. Long Chen’s Divine Fire Clones only possessed one-fifth of the owner’s strength, and these clones’ strength was capped at the Eighth River Stage. He could not believe that this shadow clone was at the Seventh Passage Stage!
This was Liu Yiyi’s trump card. With the shadow clone, Long Chen would be no match for her if this fight went on. She had already withstood his strongest attack after all.
Of course, there were many other factors that could affect the result of a battle.
“King-tier combat technique, Demonic Illusion. What do you think?” Liu Yiyi asked in a gentle voice.
If she was saying that her clone was this strong because it was a King-tier combat technique, Long Chen fully believed her. As the daughter of the Clear Shallows King, how was it possible for her not to have a King-tier technique?
After she used the Universe Eight Trigrams Array to block his most powerful attack, she immediately used the Demonic Illusion to strike Long Chen. He was only ten meters away from her, but the Demonic Illusion had arrived!
It threw a powerful punch at Long Chen. While Liu Yiyi had never used this technique before, it was clearly an advanced Heaven-tier technique! Paired with the Universe Eight Trigrams Array, it was clear that Liu Yiyi had mastered more than two advanced Heaven-tier techniques. Her strength had far surpassed Long Chen’s imagination.
Liu Yiyi attacked at the same time as the Demonic Illusion. Long Chen was stronger than she expected, so it would be difficult to defeat him with just an advanced Heaven-tier technique. She could only guarantee success by trapping him like this
She had given it her all this time, so there was no way she would lose. If she lost, she would have to show him her body, and that would be worse than death! Although she did not want to kill him, the fear he instilled in her caused Liu Yiyi to launch heavy-handed attacks. Since Long Chen was strong, her victory wasn’t certain yet!
Of course, Long Chen could launch the Heaven Sword Array again, though he was not certain if he could block the attacks from both sides, as both were advanced Heaven-tier techniques.
“Demon Suppression Punch!”
This was a punch technique that had spread across the whole Ancient Demon Domain. It carried a huge suppression force that made Long Chen feel his strength being suppressed, similar to the effect of the Blood Devouring Domain. A Demon Suppression Punch from two opponents was indeed enough to defeat Long Chen.
This was Liu Yiyi’s plan from the beginning. As long as she blocked Long Chen’s Heaven Sword Array, she would be able to defeat him!
She had great instincts in battle and Long Chen was tightly under her control. Long Chen was sure that if he did not beg for mercy and used all his strength to defend himself, he would likely get hurt! Defeat was certain.
Of course, Long Chen had a plan too. The difference was that his plan was much crazier than hers! When the two advanced Heaven-tier Demon Suppression Punches trapped him in the middle, he moved. Ignoring her attack, he turned to face her clone and released a mini Heaven Sword Array in the shortest time possible. The Heaven Sword Array chopped the clone up to pieces, so he succeeded in knocking back its attack!
Long Chen’s choice stunned Liu Yiyi. She had not expected him to be this stupid. Usually, in the face of a two-sided attack, a person would only stand a chance if he fended off both sides at the same time. But Long Chen had only dealt with one side, allowing his opponent to attack him from the other side unimpeded. Did he have a death wish?
Liu Yiyi had not expected this at all. Long Chen had neutralized the clone’s attack, but her punch fully landed on his back!
If Long Chen had just defended himself a little, Liu Yiyi would have been able to show him mercy at the final moment. However, the way he had left himself open had come as a complete surprise, so it would be very difficult for her to retract her punch!
“Careful!” Liu Yiyi cried. This was not the result she wanted! All she wanted was for him to apologize to Qin Huanyu; she did not want to kill Long Chen!
But she was too late. Long Chen turned his head woodenly, as if stupefied, and took her attack with his chest. Although she had tried her best to retract her attack, the remaining momentum still sent the defenseless Long Chen flying through the air. Liu Yiyi clearly heard his bones shattering, then blood sprayed out of his mouth and his whole chest sank inwards!
His blood sprayed onto her long dress.
Long Chen collapsed on the ground, rolled several times, and then stopped moving.
Liu Yiyi turned as pale as a sheet.
“Jiang Cheng …” she cried, then she rushed over to Long Chen. Self-blame and guilt drowned her heart. She only wanted him to apologize! But who would have guessed that he would react this way to her final attack!
No! He must have done that because he had no way of withstanding that attack! It’s all my fault! He’s only at the Fifth Passage Stage, yet I attacked him so viciously! It’s all my fault! I said he was vicious, but I was the vicious one all along!
With that thought, tears poured down her face. She felt like she had been stabbed in the heart as she looked at the blood on the ground. She fell by his side and propped up his body.
She had some healing herbs, so all she could do was hope that he was not dead. That was the only way she could save him, or she would live for the rest of her life with self-blame.
“I’m sorry! I’m so sorry! I was wrong … I deserve to die …” She knew she had to calm down in moments like this, but she could not stop the flow of her tears. She had never panicked this much in her life.
If Long Chen was dead, then he would be the first person she ever killed. Plus, she never intended to kill him, as he had never even done anything wrong in the first place.
Liu Yiyi’s heart was tortured with grief.
She supported him, ready to check if he really was dead. Suddenly, there was a blade pressing against her throat. Liu Yiyi was paralyzed with fear.
“Tell me. If I apply a little bit of strength, will you die?” A familiar voice rang in her ear. Liu Yiyi’s eyes widened in disbelief when she saw that Long Chen, who was lying in her arms, was fine. All the blood was gone and he had returned to an unharmed state, as if nothing had ever happened.
Liu Yiyi thought she was dreaming, but the cold feeling on her throat reminded her that this was reality.
But how could reality be this far-fetched? She had just killed Long Chen, and she had seen his chest sinking inwards with her own eyes! She had seen the pain in his eyes! But why was it all gone? Was it all just a hallucination?
“Pretty girl, are you going to keep holding me in your arms like that? Don’t you know that it’s inappropriate for a boy and a girl to be like this?” The corners of his lips curled upwards. In reality, his heart was twitching. Rewind really was a demented technique. Traumatized by the feeling of death every single time he used it, he swore never to use it again. The pain he felt was absolutely unbearable, plus this had only been a fight of the ego, so there was no real reason to use it.
But if he had not used Rewind, it would have been impossible for him to put the Demon Emperor Sword this close to Liu Yiyi’s neck.
Long Chen’s perverted words were not enough to snap Liu Yiyi out of her shock, making him speechless at the still-crying girl. He stood up with the Demon Emperor Sword still on her throat, then he said sternly, “Liu Yiyi, I can take your life at any time. It’s clear who the winner of this battle is. Don’t be shocked about how I won; the final result is that I won and you lost. Do you accept defeat?”
Long Chen’s words pulled Liu Yiyi back to reality. She shook her head, looked at him in disbelief, and said, “My attack almost killed you …”
“If I said that I cannot die, would you believe me?” he asked with a small smile.
She shook her head.
“So does this mean you have accepted defeat? No one cares what tactics you use to win in battle. If we really wanted to kill each other, you would have died already. There is no question that you have lost. I think you’re a person who keeps her promises, so isn’t it time for you to fulfill that promise now?” Long Chen put the Demon Emperor Sword away and looked at her with a fire in his eyes.
“Promise …” Liu Yiyi stood up in terror. Her face was pale. Long Chen was right. She had lost, and if they were fighting to kill, he definitely could have used that demented technique to kill her. But she could not admit defeat, because if she did, it meant she would have to …
Liu Yiyi had only just stopped crying, but now she was on the brink of tears again. She had only agreed to the deal out of impulse, and even with such a complete plan, she had lost to him …
This meant she had to strip in front of Long Chen.

I don't think she will strip or this novel would've ended right here.
