"Rumble... Endless
blood demons attacked from all directions. At that moment, everyone was stunned, completely unsure of which direction to break through.
"Xiaoyue, lead the Hidden Dragon Legion to break out from the left rear. Wan'er protect the rear wing. Everyone maintain a complete formation. If you fall behind, not even the immortals can save you. Hurry!"
Long Chen charged forward like a bolt of lightning. At that moment, a terrifying aura surged as endless blood demons charged in. Tang Wan'er and the others saw the figure of the Nine Veins Emperor. Tang Wan'er cried out in alarm:
"Then what will you do?"
"I'll hold them off for now. I'll find a way to escape. You all hurry and try to crush the nameplate as you go." Long Chen shouted, forming hand seals with both hands.
"Boom boom boom...
One massive figure after another appeared—these were Long Chen's puppet Silver-winged Demons. Long Chen could clearly see that among these blood demons, there were dozens of Nine Vein Emperor-level Blood Demons alone. This time, he dared not hold anything back and summoned all the Silver-winged Demons.
When the Silver-winged Demon appeared, its terrifying aura made the Blood Demon Clan warriors gasp for a moment, and their momentum instantly slowed, causing a breach in the encirclement.
The position behind the left immediately relaxed. Upon hearing Long Chen's order, Xiaoyue didn't understand why he commanded her to charge in that direction—because there was no way to break through there.
But out of trust in Long Chen, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and charge forward. However, the moment she rushed out, a gap appeared ahead—everything was within Long Chen's ingenious plan.
"Long Chen..." Tang Wan'er looked at him.
"Go!"
Long Chen roared, both shocked and furious. He never expected that the Earth Jar group wasn't trying to eliminate them, but rather to kill them all.
From their invisibility cloaks, it was clear that everything was premeditated. They split up to lure these Blood Demons into a coordinated attack on the Hidden Dragon Legion, leaving no blind spots behind, and no one knew what method they used to disable the teleportation ability of their nameplates.
Long Chen had worried about such things before, but thinking about this bunch of fools, he probably wasn't that bold. Instead, they taught him a lesson, showing him what it means for heroes to be ignorant of their future, and fools to ignore age.
Tang Wan'er's eyes were bloodshot. She worried about Long Chen and the sisters of the Hidden Dragon Legion. In the end, she gritted her teeth and could only charge out with the Hidden Dragon Legion.
At this moment, even the fool of her knew that all of this was the work of those divine sons and goddesses. Thinking back to before, everyone had tried to avoid them as much as possible, as long as they didn't clash with them, everything would be fine.
But unexpectedly, they didn't want to confront them, but wanted their lives. Thinking of this, Tang Wan'er was filled with hatred. She hated the enemy's cunning, but also her own naivety.
Long Chen had already seen everything clearly, yet they refused to believe him. Thinking of this, Tang Wan'er was so angry that tears streamed down her face, gritting her teeth as she wielded her sharp sword and began a frenzied slaughter.
"Boom boom boom..."
At that moment, the Silver-winged Demons had already made their move. Their aura was terrifying, but it was only enough to intimidate them. If they were facing an Eight-Meridian Emperor, they could still fight, but when facing a Nine-Meridian Emperor, a single blow sent them flying, and their massive bodies instantly shattered.
The Blood Demons, seeing the terrifying Silver-Winged Heavenly Demon, realized it was no match for a single blow and continued to attack one after another.
With a sharp shout, Long Chen formed hand seals, and one Silver-winged Heavenly Demon after another exploded with a thunderous roar. The terrifying power blasted countless Blood Demon Clan warriors away.
"Rumble...
After completing this, Long Chen summoned Lei Ling'er and Huo Ling'er, who simultaneously set up the Wall of Fire and the Sea of Thunder.
Although Huo Ling'er and Lei Ling'er were powerful, their opponents were Blood Demons at the Nine Veins Emperor level, and their strength was insufficient to cause harm.
However, Long Chen didn't expect them to kill these blood demons; his goal was to buy time and give everyone a chance to break through the encirclement.
Although Long Chen did his best to block the strongest enemy, he saw that in the direction where Tang Wan'er and the others had left, there were still Eight Veins Emperor-level Blood Demons waiting for them. But this was all Long Chen could do; the rest was up to them.
"Rumble..."
The sea of fire was endless, thunder walls layered high, and endless thunder dragons and fire dragons intertwined, wildly entangling the Blood Demon Clan warriors and slowing their pace.
The Blood Demons were frustrated by the entanglements of the Thunder Dragon and Fire Dragon, but were helpless. They could only break through obstacles while moving forward. In this way, Long Chen achieved his goal.
"They have already broken out of their range and teleported away. Only Tang Wan'er is still fighting the Blood Demons, waiting for you." The Qiankun Cauldron said to Long Chen.
Hearing that everyone had already left, Long Chen finally felt relieved. He was actually in no hurry anymore.
"Senior, help me search and see what is causing trouble." Long Chen said, feeling that someone must have tampered with something around here.
"Found it!"
Suddenly, the voice of the Qiankun Cauldron reached Long Chen's ears. Immediately, heaven and earth trembled violently, and 360 fist-sized blood-red stones appeared before him.
"It's the Wind Stone. It's it. It made everyone's nameplates invalid, blocking the perception of the Wind Fixing Pearl." Qiankun Cauldron said.
Long Chen's face darkened as he put away the Headwind Stones, spread out the thunder wings behind him, and retracted Lei Ling'er and Huo Ling'er, speeding away like lightning.
"Long Chen..."
Tang Wan'er was still fiercely fighting the Blood Demons. When she saw Long Chen, she couldn't help but burst into tears. Long Chen's heart sank, knowing things were going badly.
"Go!"
Long Chen and Tang Wan'er simultaneously crushed the nameplates. Suddenly, space trembled, and a vast force enveloped them, instantly vanishing from the Evil Blood Battlefield.
When they reappeared, they had already returned to the plaza of the Wind God Sea Pavilion. By then, the other sixteen teams had already been waiting in the plaza for quite some time, with eight deputy pavilion masters, four Divine Wind elders, and all the senior members present.
When they saw everyone appear, although they appeared calm on the surface, deep in their eyes was a deep look of shock.
Long Chen saw the sorrowful faces of everyone in the Hidden Dragon Legion, each gritting their teeth, tears streaming uncontrollably.
In front of them lay seventeen corpses. When Long Chen saw them, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. Cultivation is cruel this way. What's most unbearable is that one moment they fight side by side with everyone, the next, separated forever.
Seventeen girls, seventeen vibrant lives, seventeen kind souls—just like that, they vanished. They had once grasped the straw that changed their fate, full of hope and longing, but in the blink of an eye, everything became empty.
"Why, why do you have to do this?" Tang Wan'er looked at the familiar face on the ground, her heart aching as if cut by a knife. She let out a heart-wrenching roar.
"Such an accident is regrettable, but cultivation is like this: survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest..." a deputy pavilion master stepped forward, hypocritical.
"Shut up..."
Tang Wan'er roared, her eyes nearly bleeding, murderous intent filling their soulsThe Pavilion Master was startled by Tang Wan'er's gaze and couldn't help but take a step back.
After stepping back, he realized he was embarrassed and was about to scold Tang Wan'er, when another deputy pavilion master stepped forward and said,
"Forget it, she's in a bad mood right now, which is understandable. However, rankings still need to be calculated. Each team, please submit your crystal cores for ranking. The last place will be eliminated."
Tang Wan'er was crying bitterly, unable to care about rankings. Long Chen gently soothed her and said,
"Give them the crystal cores. Don't forget, there's a real ranking match soon. That's our chance to make them pay for their blood debts."
Long Chen looked at all the divine sons and daughters, as well as the senior officials, his eyes already icy cold.
