After Long Chen finished speaking, he was startled. These guys seemed to have been injected with adrenaline, their eyes reddened, showing no fear at all—instead, they seemed a bit frenzied.
Long Chen didn't know that being deceived by someone he admired was a terrifying thing—it could instantly make one lose all reason. That's why the power of faith is so frightening.
People have a habitual mindset: you are strong, whatever you say is right, and they never doubt it.
Long Chen originally wanted to encourage everyone, to forget their fears and perform better, but this group suddenly seemed invincible, and their formation fell into chaos.
"Puff puff puff..."
By the time Long Chen shouted, it was already too late. The demons had already charged over, and both sides fought fiercely, killing one demon after another.
Fortunately, the disciples of the Xiaoyao Alliance were at the front, so the situation could still be controlled. After all, they had learned true combat techniques from Long Chen. The powerful demons charging at them were all knocked down one after another.
Luo Bingluo condensed her bloodline power erupted, purple energy swirling around her body. With a wave of her hand, purple light swords flew out, and the demons couldn't withstand their attacks at all, collapsing like paper in the ground.
Long Chen finally witnessed the terrifying power of the Luo family bloodline. This was a bloodline technique exclusive to the Luo family. Those light swords were unmatched in sharpness, rivaling ordinary spiritual artifacts.
"Luo Bing, Luo Ning, you're mainly responsible for control, not killing yourself." Long Chen shouted loudly.
For Luo Bing and Luo Ning, these demons were no match for them. Killing them was pointless; they had to let the disciples inside practice their skills.
Hearing Long Chen's words, Luo Bing and Luo Ning immediately restrained their attacks, letting the disciples within the sect take the kills as much as possible, only intervening in moments of crisis.
The demon's power was immense. When a single punch landed, several disciples had to work together to resist. Sometimes the force was uneven, and someone endured too much force would get injured and cough up blood. The surging blood made breathing difficult, and their condition was poor.
At this time, the injured would run to the center, with wood cultivators and water cultivators coming to help them recover.
Because the injuries were very light, the power of wood and water surged into his body, and the chaotic aura almost instantly recovered so he could join the fight immediately.
Long Chen looked at the clumsy healing techniques of the wood and water cultivators and couldn't help but shake his head. Good talent wasn't used in good places.
If it were a medical soldier from the Dragonblood Legion, one person would have to care for a large area. If someone got injured, a spell would instantly heal them, so there was no need to come over.
Meanwhile, the archers around Long Chen kept a close watch on the entire battlefield. If anyone was in danger, they would immediately provide remote support. Moreover, if there were too many demons on one side, they would also intervene to kill some demons and relieve their burden.
An hour later, the ground was littered with corpses. The disciples of the Xiaoyao Alliance and Luo Sect were all so excited their faces flushed red. Such terrifying demons had slain over three thousand, yet not a single one on their side had died.
Not to mention deaths, there were not even those seriously injured. After an hour, they remained in an almost complete state of battle.
After the demon was slain, the two alliances sent out several disciples to clean up the battlefield, while the rest rested in place.
These were all second-tier demons. Inside their heads was a magic crystal about the size of a baby's fist. These magic crystals were valuable and could be recycled at the academy. Depending on their purity, each could sell for fifty to a hundred Immortal Crystals.
Although the individual value isn't high, killing demons every day adds up to a considerable fortune over a month.
"Let's see the rankings."
After killing those demons, Luo Ning spoke eagerly.
Luo Bing and Mu Qingyun each took out their guild nameplates. Sure enough, some ripples appeared on their nameplates, a unique way of counting that Long Chen couldn't see.
"Luomen is already ranked 937th, with 2,600 points, breaking into the top 1,000." Luo Bing looked at the nameplate, a smile appearing on her pretty face.
After just a short kill, she broke into the top thousand, and she was already very satisfied.
"Xiaoyao Alliance has 5,100 points, ranked 892." Mu Qingyun said a little embarrassedly.
"Why is there such a big difference?" Luo Bing and the others were shocked, and the disciples of Luo Sect were also stunned.
"Let me explain it to you."
Long Chen looked at everyone and said, "Qingyun and Li Cai are both responsible for controlling the battlefield's rhythm. Like Luo Bing and Luo Ning, they barely made any moves."
The difference lies in the skill of killing demons. Because the warriors of the Xiaoyao Alliance are quick to kill, most of them rush toward the Alliance. Of course, this is partly because the Alliance is at the forefront.
But location isn't the main reason. Warriors of Luomen, you need to be careful—you're on the battlefield, not on the arena.
The golden rule of the battlefield is to kill your target in the shortest time, the easiest way, and the most direct means.
I've seen your fighting style—too many flashy and useless things, wasting a lot of power and missing many chances to kill with a single blow.
You're still used to fiercely battling on the ring, mostly for show, but this is a battlefield, and the rules of the battlefield are to survive—every bit of strength is precious.
Human strength is limited. If you can preserve even a little more strength, you might survive at a critical moment. Never underestimate that little strength, because it can decide whether you leave alive or bury your bones here.... After
all, this was a peaceful and prosperous era. These disciples had never been to the battlefield or experienced real life-and-death trials, so they didn't understand the real difference between fighting and killing.
Long Chen pointed out the flaws in their battles and taught them how to seize fleeting opportunities on the battlefield, and how, when at an absolute disadvantage, they could trade injury for life, achieving the greatest gain at the lowest cost.
At the same time, during battles, how to coordinate with each other to create the best opportunities for teammates to strike and secure the best kill angles.
After hearing Long Chen's guidance, the disciples of the Immortal Alliance finally understood why the Xiaoyao Alliance disciples could kill those demons so quickly.
The fact that they were accepted by Luomen meant they all had good aptitude. With a slight hint from Long Chen's explanation, everything suddenly enlightened, and he quickly understood what Long Chen meant.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Long Chen led the group forward, encountering scattered demons along the way, all of whom were slain by the disciples of the Immortal Academy.
It must be said, they were very smart. Some of the techniques Long Chen mentioned seemed quite convincing to use, though the methods were somewhat stiff. But that was unavoidable; experience needed to be accumulated, not mastered overnight.
After traveling for half an hour, Long Chen found a valley and had everyone set up their formation.
"Long Chen, can we have Luomen ahead this time and gain more opportunities for training?" Luo Bing said a bit embarrassedly. She didn't care much about points, but while everyone's enthusiasm was still alive, the most important thing was to quickly have them memorize what Long Chen taught them in their bones.
And if you want to remember it in your bones, battle is the best way, so Luo Bing shamelessly spoke up.
"Those demons just now were just warming up for you. Now let's begin the real battle."
After Long Chen finished speaking, he took out a pill in his hand, flicked his finger, and the pill whistled through the airIt emerged, soaring straight into the sky.
With a loud explosion, a strange smell spread out. After a while, Long Chen looked at everyone and said,
"My pill has a special scent. Demons from thousands of miles around will be drawn here. Are you ready?"
As soon as Long Chen finished speaking, the ground began to tremble slightly, then grew increasingly violent, like a tsunami crashing in from all directions. Then, Luo Bing and the others saw the demons surging in like a tide.
"Long Chen, ..." Luo Bing was stunned.
"When eating meat, you have to eat bigger, otherwise how can you enjoy it? But let me remind you a little by the way.
This time, you must kill quickly, or we might be wiped out here. As
soon as Long Chen finished speaking, demons surged in from all directions, roaring as they charged at them.
