"Puff puff puff..."
Long Chen led the Hidden Dragon Legion straight at the demon army, with no tactical deployment or rhythm—just the most direct and violent charge.
The Hidden Dragon warriors, wielding sharp swords, sped forward like the wind. Wherever the blades passed, monsters covered in bone scales and with twin horns fell in droves.
At first, Long Chen was in charge of leading the team. After killing several monsters and discovering their weak points were in their necks, eyes, three inches below their abdomen, and their vents, Long Chen stopped attacking and instead let the eight divine attendants lead the way, with Tang Wan'er holding the line. If anything went wrong, it would be easier to rescue and prevent injuries.
Long Chen was in charge of covering the rear. Seeing the Hidden Dragon Legion's somewhat clumsy and childish formation, he recalled the Dragon Blood Legion back then—they were far more difficult than these female warriors.
Back then, no one taught them; all their experience was gained through battlefield struggles, and they were bought with their lives and blood.
Although the formation was somewhat scattered and had major flaws in coordination, its destructive power was still astonishing. These Heavenly Saint-level demons were completely unable to stop the Hidden Dragon Legion's advance and maintained a relentless assault.
The Hidden Dragon Legion sped forward, leaving corpses strewn everywhere they passed. The Hidden Dragon warriors grew more excited and fierce with each battle.
In the Fengshen Sea Pavilion's trial hall, there are many demon puppets. Disciples can exchange points for trial opportunities. They have fought sealed Heavenly Saint-level bone demons before. In a one-on-one situation, killing such beings would require at least a hundred moves.
But if you make a single mistake, you could be injured or even killed by them. Every year, the Wind God Sea Pavilion captures large numbers of demons, seals them away, and lets disciples cultivate so they know just how strong they have grown.
Once formidable rivals now fell in droves before them, and only then did they realize just how much their strength had improved over the past month.
After all, in the Seven Treasures Space, they encountered vicious beings. After enduring the bloody slaughter, their souls had already begun to transform.
When facing death, one can still maintain absolute calm, perception rapidly increases, spiritual awareness awakens quickly, and the instinct of life becomes stronger.
If they weren't in a hurry, Long Chen wouldn't have told them about the weaknesses of these monsters. With their strength, they could figure them out in less than a day, which would be even more helpful to them.
But there was no other way. Now, time was tight and they had to cross this Bone Demon territory as fast as possible. Long Chen had no choice but to settle for a second choice.
However, looking at the countless slain bone demons, the Hidden Dragon warriors felt a bit sorry for them, because they kept charging forward and had no time to collect the corpses of these monsters. Those magic crystals were treasures, and returning to the Wind God Sea Pavilion could be exchanged for many things they needed.
Long Chen looked at the corpses of these Heavenly Saint-level monsters, but he really couldn't muster any interest in collecting them. Now, whether the chaotic space had grown stronger or because Long Chen was feeding it cravingly, the Heavenly Saint-level corpses were thrown into the black soil and devoured, leaving little life force to release.
Nowadays, to decompose spiritual energy, one must be at least an Emperor-level being. So, Long Chen couldn't be bothered to collect these Heavenly Saint-level demons.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a furious roar rang out, terrifying imperial might surging. It was a leader-level demon charging in. Ordinary monsters were about the height of humans, but this one was over a zhang tall, its blood and energy shaking like lightning.
"Pfft" However,
the emperor-level demon had just rushed in when suddenly a figure flashed. A sharp sword pierced through its neck, and a head shot into the sky—it was slain in a single blow.
"Beautiful!"
Long Chen and Tang Wan'er cheered in unison. The attacker was Xiaoyue, decisive and ruthless, with precise timing and a decisive kill.
This strike fully revealed the results of cultivation in the Seven Treasures Space. Facing an opponent whose aura far surpasses one's own, one must first eliminate fear, observe calmly, seek out surprises before attacking, and not hesitate for a moment.
Clearly, Xiaoyue had done it, executing a decisive blow. Even Xiaoyue herself was stunned, because the moment the Human Emperor-level monster charged at her, she instinctively unleashed that strike. The terrifying Human Emperor-level monster was so easily taken down—she couldn't believe it herself.
Long Chen and Tang Wan'er exchanged smiles. Xiaoyue was truly clever as ice and snow, developing a powerful combat instinct so quickly. Her future achievements were bound to be remarkable.
Xiaoyue's strike sparked cheers among the Hidden Dragon warriors, completely igniting their fighting spirit and greatly boosting everyone's confidence.
"Boom boom boom... The
morale of the Hidden Dragon warriors soared. As soon as a Human Emperor-level demon appeared, the eight divine attendants immediately launched fierce attacks. Once a powerful Human Emperor-level demon was exploited, they were utterly powerless against them.
Many of these female warriors were disciples of the outer sect, and they had no idea that their bodies had undergone earth-shaking changes under the pills Long Chen provided.
Not to mention the Eight Divine Attendants—even ordinary Hidden Dragon warriors now have the qualification to take on Human Emperor-level monsters one-on-one. It's just that they themselves don't know it yet.
But having one-on-one strength is worlds apart from being able to kill in one blow. Long Chen cheered for Xiaoyue's strike, mainly because of her timing and mastery. This reflects her overall abilities and shows she has reached a higher level of combat.
"Roar..."
The roars grew louder and louder, and more and more powerful monsters appeared. At first, there were only one or two emperor-level monsters; later, dozens appeared, and eventually hundreds or even thousands.
Long Chen opened the map and found that they were almost close to the core of the Bone Demon Tribe, so more and more Bone Demon experts were appearing.
Countless Imperial-level bone demons charged madly at the Hidden Dragon Legion, putting great pressure on them. Their formation was already unskilled, and under immense pressure, it had been deformed several times and was nearly shattered.
Everyone panicked and frantically tried to make up for it, but the more they tried to fix things, the more mistakes they made. Soon, the formation began to fall apart and was on the verge of being split.
"Stay calm, stay steady. The tougher the moment, the more you need to stay calm. Don't let negative emotions control your rhythm. Leave your back to your sisters and focus on killing the enemies before you." Seeing the formation about to collapse, Long Chen shouted coldly.
These female warriors had grown greatly through the training in the Seven Treasures Space, and their personal strength had improved by leaps and bounds. However, it was extremely difficult to make them defy their instincts and entrust their lives to others. This was also why their formations remained somewhat disjointed.
Hearing Long Chen's sharp shout, the female warriors gritted their teeth and simply ignored the danger behind them, focusing solely on facing the enemy before them. They had long revered Long Chen like a deity; whatever Long Chen asked them to do, they would not hesitate. Even knowing it might be fatal, they still did it.
"Puff puff puff... What
they didn't expect was that after doing this, the formation's power instantly increased. Not only did they force the enemy to retreat, but the formation also returned to its strongest state. At that moment, they were all stunned.
At this moment, a smile appeared at the corner of Long Chen's mouth. When they entrusted their lives to others, the cohesion of the Hidden Dragon Legion truly took shape.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a tremendous explosion erupted, and the earth began to tremble. A vast demonic might swept across the heavens, changing the color of the cosmos.
