Chapter 5,769: "One Strike Above the Breeze"
"Rumble..."
Tens of thousands of powerful demons roared as they approached. The leader among them held a bone steel trident, had a single horn on his head, and wore a sinister smile on his face. He led the demon forces, quickly charging forward.
The demon leader who had been battling with Luo Yanfeng became furious, "Bloodshade, this is not your territory. Are you not afraid of punishment for coming here to snatch people?"
The demon leader known as Bloodshade grinned, "Why should we fear punishment? As long as we kill all of you, we can simply claim that the humans wiped you out before we arrived. That wouldn't be considered a violation."
On the battlefield, the disciples of the Luo family fought fiercely, and the number of demon forces dwindled. The Luo family disciples were now dominating the battle, and it wouldn't be long before the demons were defeated.
After days of battling the demons, Long Chen had figured out the rules of the demon forces. They were allowed to retreat only when their team's casualties exceeded half of their original number. Only if one team retreated or was wiped out, other teams could enter someone else's territory to fight.
Of course, this rule applied mainly to the deep parts of the battlefield. At the edges of the battlefield, the demon forces were weaker and chaotic.
Now, Bloodshade had arrived to compete for this battle. He aimed to eliminate all strong demon warriors, including Wolf Qing, indicating that the demon side likely had a reward system similar to the concept of kill points. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so desperate.
"Attack! Kill them all, regardless of friend or foe!" Bloodshade shouted as he arrived at the forefront and gave the command.
"Kill!" The demon forces led by Bloodshade roared with excitement, surging towards their opponents like a tide.
At that moment, the Luo family disciples instinctively began to contract their formation. It had become second nature to them when faced with extreme danger; they needed to use formations to minimize casualties.
"Let's get rid of that commander first. I don't like the look of him!" Bloodshade saw Long Chen standing calmly in the void and felt a bit irritated.
"Windstrike Slash!"
Facing the tide of demon forces rushing toward him, Long Chen gripped his longsword. He slightly bent his knees, arched his waist, leaned forward, and a tremendous aura circulated around him. Purple energy flowed from Long Chen's hand into the sword.
"Swish!"
The sword left its sheath, emitting a dragon-like hum. A purple sword aura, like a curved purple moon, instantly covered the battlefield. The crescent moon, like the scythe of death, swept through.
Upon seeing this purple crescent, Bloodshade's face turned pale. He had not expected that this seemingly harmless and boastful guy would unleash such a deadly attack right away.
What was most terrifying was that before Long Chen launched this attack, no one could sense any energy fluctuations. However, after the attack, a burst of deathly threat erupted, freezing the bodies of the targeted demons. Their blood seemed to solidify, rendering them unable to react effectively.
"Splatter, splatter, splatter..."
The purple crescent swept across the battlefield, collapsing the void and shattering everything in its path. All the demon forces along its path turned into blood mist.
Tens of thousands of strong demons were annihilated by a single sword strike, leaving only Bloodshade standing alone. The power of this one strike was so terrifying that everyone on the battlefield was left in shock, even the Luo family disciples.
The last time Long Chen had unleashed a sword strike, it had already amazed everyone. But the power of this strike surpassed the previous one. It was an earth-shattering attack, unlike anything they had ever seen before.
Although they had seen someone use the "Windstrike Slash" technique before and knew it was a supermove from the Windstrike Sword Art, they had never seen it used with such devastating force. Moreover, when others used it, there was a visible charging process that took several breaths of time. The instructor had also warned them that although the move was incredibly powerful, its drawback was the long charging time, making it vulnerable to interruptions, especially when facing skilled opponents.
In contrast, Long Chen's strike had no visible charging process. It was as if a light breeze, yet the power it contained was ten times greater than the instructor's strike. Remember, the instructor was none other than the Purple Crowned Divine Emperor.
Although the instructor wasn't a combat-oriented expert, he was proficient in various arts and divine techniques. In terms of the power of a single strike, he was not far behind the combat-oriented experts.
"Swish."
Long Chen sheathed his sword, looking at the now lone Bloodshade on the battlefield with narrowed eyes. He thought to himself, "That's when you encounter demons; you need a calm mindset and a tranquil soul. But when you encounter idiots like Luo Shenghui, how can I stay calm?"
Suddenly, Long Chen overturned his own thoughts. After all, he wasn't Yue Zifeng; he couldn't maintain a perfectly tranquil state of mind and a clear sword heart all the time.
In reality, it wasn't that he had improved or enhanced his control; it was just that the opponents were different, a breeze of white joy.
"Spurt..."
At that moment, Bloodshade on the battlefield spurted out a mouthful of blood. His lower body remained motionless, while his upper body slid down slowly.
When everyone saw this scene, friend and foe alike, they all had their mouths wide open in shock. At first, they had thought Bloodshade had blocked Long Chen's attack and were impressed by his strength. After all, he had managed to withstand this strike without even summoning his Dragon Pulse, standing tall. Everyone was amazed by his power.
However, they didn't expect that Long Chen had already severed him in two, both body and weapon.
Nonetheless, Bloodshade was indeed formidable. Despite his body being severed, his willpower continued to battle against the sword intent of Long Chen. As long as he could suppress Long Chen's willpower, he could use his soul's power to summon his Dragon Pulse and repair his body.
Unfortunately, he didn't succeed.
"Thump."
His two halves of the body fell to the ground, and his two halves of the weapon dropped to the ground as well. Bloodshade, who had been lively and boastful just a moment ago, had now met his end.
"Run!"
Seeing this scene, Wolf Qing shouted in fear, abandoning Luo Yanfeng and fleeing for his life. When facing such a terrifying existence hidden within the enemy, there was no better time to run. Other demon strongmen heard the command and scattered in all directions to escape.
"Kill them! We must not let them go back and report!" Luo Yanfeng roared and charged straight at Wolf Qing.
"Boom!"
Wolf Qing was already suppressed by Luo Yanfeng and terrified by Long Chen's sword strike. When he saw Bloodshade spurt blood and fall, he was instantly heavily wounded. Even though they were in a chaotic retreat, he understood that Long Chen had been concealing his true power. Since it was hidden, it had to remain a secret.
However, there were too many enemies, and they were fleeing randomly. It was impossible to kill them all without leaving a single one. Panic filled everyone as they realized that if even one got away, the interception would have failed.
"Purple Blood Ignites the Heavens, Yin and Yang Unite!"
Just then, purple flames rose from Long Chen's thumb and middle finger. With a snap of his fingers, the purple flames formed a Tai Chi diagram, instantly covering the entire battlefield.
