Long Chen looked at Bi Yingxue with a half-smile and said calmly, "Taking advantage of others in times of trouble is a habit of your Bi family. Our Luo family is not that despicable."
Hearing Long Chen's words and seeing that Luo Yanfeng and the others showed no intention of making a move, Bi Yingxue and the others felt much relieved. However, Long Chen's words carried a strong sense of humiliation, making Bi Yingxue furious.
However, at this moment, they had just gone through a fierce battle and were seriously injured. If they fought head-on with Long Chen and the others now, they would suffer a heavy defeat, possibly even wiping out their entire army.
Bi Yingxue snorted coldly, led her men around Long Chen and the others, and quickly left. Seeing the chilling look in Bi Yingxue's eyes as she left, Luo Jiang said bitterly, "
If the roles were reversed, they would never let us leave. Why should they be ruthless, while we have to be gentlemen?"
"Luo Jiang,"
Luo Ying glared at Luo Jiang. Saying that was basically complaining about Long Chen's kindness as a woman.
At this moment, Luo Jiang realized he had said the wrong thing and was about to apologize to Long Chen, but Long Chen waved his hand and said,
"Your idea is excellent, and you say whatever you think in your heart, consistent inside and out. There's nothing wrong with that."
Luo Jiang thought Long Chen was angry and hurriedly said, "Long Chen, I just can't stand it."
Long Chen nodded and said, "I understand. The reason I let them go is not because I was merciful, nor because I cared about my reputation, but because it's for everyone."
Seeing everyone's astonished expressions, Long Chen explained, "The reason I let them go is because, in my eyes, they pose no threat at all. Whether I kill them or not doesn't mean much."
But if he can threaten my brothers and sisters, they will surely die today.
Letting them go today is to give them a chance, to give them a chance to strike at us.
Because killing your own kin requires courage, and that courage can only be given to you by your opponent. Long
Chen understood human nature too well. Most of the Luo family's disciples were kind-hearted, generous, and loyal. They fought for the family and dared to face death head-on.
But facing a fellow clan wielding a slaughter knife would definitely leave psychological scars on many people. To avoid such a shadow, they needed to find an opportunity to force them to wield the blade.
Everyone seemed to understand, but Long Chen didn't explain further and continued leading them deeper into the demon territory.
Soon, they encountered a group of demon clan members resting—they were the demon experts who had previously hunted down Bi Yingxue.
They had killed quite a few powerful members of the Purple Blood Clan and were still blossoming in excitement, but at this moment, Long Chen and the others charged forward.
The Luo family disciples drew their weapons and charged at the demon clan powerhouse like hungry wolves, while Luo Yanfeng charged straight at the leader.
"Puff puff puff..."
The Luo family disciples who had been blessed displayed unprecedented terrifying power. Purple blood power erupted, sword energy swept across the sky, blade shadows filled the sky, and countless demon clan warriors were sliced to pieces.
"Boom boom boom... Luo
Yanfeng and the demon leader exchanged six consecutive sword strikes. Finally, on the seventh strike, the demon leader was blasted away by Luo Yanfeng's strike, blood spraying wildly.
"Buzz!"
Luo Yanfeng took a step forward, spun around, and slashed his sword toward the demon leader's head.
However, this sword strike missed its mark. Luo Yanfeng was startled and looked closely to see that the demon leader had already fallen into Long Chen's hands.
"Long Chen..."
Long Chen's action left Luo Yanfeng stunned, not knowing what Long Chen meant.
"Pfft"
Long Chen tapped the demon leader's head with a finger, activating his soul power to search for his soul.
"Boom!"
At the very moment Long Chen searched his soul,
the runes around the demon clan expert burned rapidly and shattered with a thunderous crash.
"Long Chen, watch out!"
Luo Yanfeng was shocked. Demon clan experts can't do soul searches. If they do, they'll instantly self-destruct, and at the same time, they'll trigger cursed runes. Once the runes possess them, it's a real problem.
"Buzz!"
Endless cursed runes instantly surged toward Long Chen, but purple flames instantly appeared around him, burning the runes to ashes.
The terrifying thing about this cursed rune was its incredible speed—so fast that people couldn't react, and in front of Long Chen, this speed was nothing to laugh at.
Long Chen's action startled Luo Yanfeng and the others; the demon clan's curse was no joke.
"Long Chen, what are you doing?" Luo Yanfeng couldn't help but ask. Risking soul searching was pointless; he got no information and was putting himself in danger.
"Through soul searching, I saw a scene and confirmed something." Long Chen said.
"What is it?" Luo Yanfeng and the others were stunned.
"Bi Yingxue's injuries have nothing to do with these demon clan experts." Long Chen said.
"What?" Everyone was shocked.
Long Chen said, "Bi Yingxue should have led her team straight into deeper parts of the battlefield. After being severely wounded by the enemies there, she escaped all the way back. This group of demons is only part of the hunt." Long Chen said.
From the soul of that demon clan expert, Long Chen deduced a general situation. Although not absolutely accurate, it shouldn't be too far off.
Long Chen searched his soul because he discovered that this demon clan powerhouse was not very strong and simply couldn't seriously injure Bi Yingxue.
Thinking of the aura on Bi Yingxue's wound, Long Chen thought of those top demon clan experts guarding alone. He couldn't imagine what kind of brain Bi Yingxue was, actually leading a group of clan members to their deaths.
In the end, only one in ten of the team survived, and she herself was seriously wounded. Fortunately, the demons had strict battlefield awareness and forbade invading others' territory; otherwise, she would have been gone with no return and wiped out.
Thinking about it, it was a bit amusing. Bi Yingxue really didn't know her place, and at the same time, she didn't even see her own people as human.
However, her approach was simple and brutal but effective. Those who fought their way out in this battle were definitely the strongest of the strongest, giving the weak no chance and instantly selecting the strongest group.
"Is there a stronger presence deep within?" Hearing Long Chen say this, Luo Yanfeng and the others couldn't help but gasp.
Previously, Luo Yanfeng had deliberately tested that demon clan expert, but he only used eighty percent of his strength to easily defeat himGradually, he began to look down on Bi Yingxue.
But hearing Long Chen say this, his heart raced wildly. Even with Bi Yingxue gravely injured, the demon leader still couldn't keep her, so he needed to reassess Bi Yingxue's strength.
"Aren't we already deep in the battlefield? Is there something even stronger inside?" Luo Ying and the others looked utterly shocked; they thought they were at the deepest part of the battlefield.
"Alright, it's time for you to see what real experts are, so you don't get too arrogant. Long
Chen pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and led everyone deeper inside.
