Chapter 5755: Metamorphosis
Luo Yanfeng let out a skyward roar, marking his true entry into the realm of experts. The numerous near-death crises he had faced stimulated the revival of his bloodline.
This awakening wasn't about a boost in strength, but rather the activation of his instinct for battle, an indescribable marvel. Having only been on the battlefield twice, he had transformed from a complete novice to a genuine warrior. Long Chen couldn't help but sigh, acknowledging the remarkable strength of the Purple Blood, one of the most potent bloodlines within the human race.
It's important to note that Long Chen and the Dragon Blood Legion had undergone endless hardships and dangers, struggling on the brink of death countless times before attaining this heightened combat awareness. Fortunately, Luo Yanfeng was one of their own; otherwise, Long Chen would have felt a tinge of envy. The saying holds true: comparison breeds frustration.
With a resounding cry, Luo Yanfeng's voice echoed through the entire battlefield, carrying the divine might of having slain the leader of the demon clan. This shattered the confidence of the demon clan's powerful members, causing their hearts and courage to crumble.
"Escape!"
Upon seeing this, a demon clan powerhouse immediately fled. His retreat triggered a sense of urgency among the other demon clan elites, and they hastened their escape.
"Thud."
Meanwhile, the powerhouse engaged in battle with Luo Ying was killed by her before he could even escape.
Seeing this, the other team leaders gritted their teeth, fighting with all their might. Luo Yanfeng and Luo Ying had slain their opponents, leaving no room for them to lose face.
Although their adversaries desired escape, they were relentlessly entangled by the efforts of a few, preventing them from fleeing. At this point, disciples from the Luo family had already encircled the entire battlefield, turning all the demon clan powerhouses into trapped turtles in a jar.
"Thud, thud, thud…"
In the end, these demon clan elites were individually eliminated one by one. Luo Yanfeng and his companions were all seriously injured; they had paid a painful price to secure their kills. Among them, one person even had three bloody holes punctured in his chest, a gruesome sight.
However, the regenerative power of the Purple Blood was astonishing. As long as they didn't die on the spot and their opponents' weapons weren't poisoned or cursed, the general laws of power couldn't easily kill them.
Luo Yanfeng and his companions fulfilled their promise by defeating their opponents. Long Chen had also fulfilled his promise, with most of the Luo family members surviving, even though they bore numerous injuries.
"Who saved me just now?"
At this moment, Luo Ying asked the group. Luo Yanfeng and the others were momentarily stunned. Luo Yanfeng replied, "I was too occupied to help you. I didn't save you."
"We were the same. I didn't call for you to save me. Managing to fend for myself was already my greatest ability," Luo Jiang said with a bitter smile.
No one had noticed Long Chen's attack. As Luo Ying turned her gaze towards Long Chen, he held up a map and said, "We've been transported deep within the battlefield. Isolated and without support, we must leave here before the next wave of enemies besieges us."
"That fool from the Bi family used such despicable means to trap us," speaking of this, Luo Ying clenched her teeth, no longer dwelling on the matter of who had saved her.
"After we return, we must demand an explanation from the Bi family," Zi Mo added with a dark expression. The Bi family was truly ruthless; they clearly intended to kill them. If it weren't for Long Chen, at least half of them would have perished.
"Now is not the time for revenge. We need to face reality and figure out how to break free from their encirclement. If we confront a large-scale enemy force simultaneously, we might be completely wiped out. Next, we need to advance quickly, continuously breaking through their blockade, turning the tables from defensive to offensive, leading the enemy by the nose," Long Chen said.
"Long Chen, whatever you say, we'll do. Give us your orders directly!" At this moment, the group regarded Long Chen as if he were a deity. His leadership abilities had thoroughly won them over.
"Let's go. We're heading due west," Long Chen glanced at the map and said to the group.
"Due west? Isn't that the direction of the demon clan's stronghold?" Luo Ying's eyes widened in disbelief.
"I'm sorry. Pretend I didn't say anything," Luo Ying immediately regretted her words; she had inadvertently questioned Long Chen's command.
Long Chen smiled faintly, "It's okay to ask when you don't understand. Because we're too deep within the battlefield, under normal circumstances, as isolated individuals, we would instinctively return to our own camp at all costs. But by doing so, our route will be entirely anticipated by the enemy. They would surely gather their demon clan elites to retreat, forming a trap, waiting for us to fall into it. However, if we take the opposite approach, their calculations will fall apart. This path may seem dangerous, but it's actually the safest and most viable option."
Long Chen explained this strategy, and the group immediately understood. Luo Yanfeng said, "Long Chen, you're truly brilliant. We're lucky to have you as a strategist in our team."
Long Chen wryly smiled. Such a simple strategy would only seem clever to them. In the outside world, this kind of trickery wouldn't hold up.
Long Chen instructed everyone to conceal their auras and move swiftly to the west. After about half an hour of flight, Long Chen had them rest in place for the time it takes an incense stick to burn. He then ordered a small team to deliberately release the aura of the Purple Blood and move south for a while before turning back north.
When the enemy arrived, they would follow the aura and chase forward, falling for this basic deception. For Luo Yanfeng and the others, it seemed extremely clever.
Soon after they turned back north, they encountered a demon clan team. Long Chen immediately ordered them to kill all these demon clan powerhouses, not allowing a single one to escape, as that would risk revealing their location.
Under Long Chen's command, the group of demon clan elites couldn't mount an effective resistance and were all wiped out by the Luo family disciples.
Long Chen noticed that the disciples of the Luo family were now displaying formidable combat power. Luo Yanfeng's strength was also gradually catching up to the level of Ming Longtian Peak.
Earlier, he had fought three thirteenth vein demon clan Heaven Saints alone and killed them within a few moves, showcasing the terrifying power of the Purple Blood lineage.
Moreover, without Long Chen's guidance, they had gradually learned how to conserve energy and use the least effort to unleash their most powerful attacks, especially when their stamina was low.
"No wonder Grandfather is so fond of them," Long Chen couldn't help but sigh as he watched the rapid growth of his companions. Good character and high potential – who wouldn't like such children?
Under Long Chen's leadership, they engaged in guerrilla warfare on the demon clan's turf, zigzagging left and right, in perpetual combat.
Every day had multiple battles, a design of Long Chen's. He deliberately kept the Luo family disciples in a state of extreme depletion and vulnerability.
Only in such a state could he better refine their will, activate their senses, and develop control over the battlefield as well as proper allocation of strength.
Their heavy consumption in previous battles was due to their being at full health all the time, just like nouveau riche who carelessly spend their money.
Now, each of them was as poor as a church mouse, treating every copper coin like gold, naturally leading to more careful consideration. After all, their lives were at stake, and their combat habits were undergoing constant transformation.
Days passed, two days, until the third day, when Long Chen saw the redness in their eyes and their exhaustion pushing them to the brink of collapse. He realized he couldn't push them any further. If he did, it could lead to backlash. Once their mental state collapsed, it would be over.
Long Chen then led the group, evading a large number of demon clan powerhouses, and started moving towards the Purple Blood clan's territory.
However, just as they were about to exit the demon clan's camp, a figure suddenly blocked their path. Seeing this figure, Luo Yanfeng and the others immediately revealed their killing intent.
