"Pfft!"
The demon's corpse split apart and was split in two by a single blow. Countless people cried out in shock.
They looked behind the old man, and at that moment, standing behind him stood a man dressed in a black robe, carrying a massive sword sheath on his back, holding a blood-red long blade.
"You are... Dean Long Chen? Only then did the old man react. He looked at Long Chen with an excited expression.
As the youngest dean in the history of Lingxiao Academy, Long Chen was already famous throughout the land. As soon as he appeared, he immediately drew cheers from countless powerful figures in Yaohua Prefecture.
"Roar!"
At that moment, a furious roar echoed. The distant evil demons surged in from all directions like waves, and three fiends with red scales were leading another army of demons.
"Not good! Dean Long Chen, come with me into the city. Use the grand formation—let's work together to deal with them." The old man's face changed dramatically.
"Elders, please return to the city first. I am unworthy and humiliate myself." Long Chen smiled faintly.
"Buzz!" In Long Chen's
left hand, a lotus flower appeared. Endless flames surged across heaven and earth, swelling tens of thousands of miles in an instant. The terrifying pressure twisted the world.
The old man was both surprised and delighted when he saw the Flame Lotus. He no longer held back with Long Chen and ordered all the fierce fighters outside the city to crush the jade talismans on their bodies and teleport back into the city.
At that moment, the three demon leaders rushed forward. Long Chen shouted sharply:
"World-Destroying Fire Lotus"
The flame lotus in his hand descended, exploding among the endless demon horde. The lotus blossomed, swallowing the sky, and a massive mushroom cloud rose upward, At the same time, a ripple swept across the earth.
After the flames erupted, the radius within a hundred thousand miles turned into scorched earth. The demon army vanished, and the three leaders lay on the ground, their bodies charred black, barely clinging to life.
A strike that shocked the heavens, suppressing evil demons—what a domineering feat. The strong figures in the city watched with their blood boiling.
"Senior's sword isn't sharp enough. I hope this sword can help you and lend you a hand."
Long Chen's voice came from the horizon. Suddenly, a cold flash shot past, passing through the heads of three red-scaled fiends, killing them and flying up to the city wall. The old man reached out and caught the sharp sword.
It turned out to be a long sword. The sword hadn't been drawn, yet Long Chen had directly pierced the heads of those evil spirits with its sheath. You have to know, these fiends have almost no weaknesses, because their vital point is their head.
Their skulls were exceptionally tough; even with a royal artifact, they couldn't break through. So, even against a half-step Realm King-level demon with almost no divine powers, he still couldn't win.
"Clang!"
The long sword was pulled out several inches, its sharp aura rushing toward him, sending chills down one's spine.
"What a fine sword!"
Countless people exclaimed. The sword's runes hadn't even been activated, yet such a terrifying sharpness emanated from it. It was definitely a peerless sword.
"Dean Long Chen actually gave us this long sword."
The old man was extremely excited. With this divine weapon, they should no longer fear those red-scaled demons.
Suddenly, the old man shouted loudly, "Dean Long Chen, once we get through this calamity, I, Zhao Yixiang, will come to return it in person." "
A sword for a martyr, a beauty for a beauty. The elder cared for the people and feared no death. This divine weapon is worthy of Your Excellency's character."
Long Chen's voice came again, but from too far away, the voice was starting to fade.
"Dean Long Chen is so young, his combat power astonishing, yet he has a compassionate heart. No matter how many generations of humanity there are, there may not be a hero like this." A Earth-grade Immortal King looked in the direction Long Chen had left, his face full of admiration as he spoke.
Looking at the scorched earth outside the city, the corpses of the three red-scaled demons still stood upright, and everyone's eyes were filled with reverence.
His combat power was extraordinary, yet he showed no arrogance. Not only did he intervene to relieve Yaohua Prefecture, he also gifted divine weapons. Such magnanimity and boldness won the admiration of countless people.
At the same time, they grew increasingly impressed by Lingxiao Academy. When news broke that Long Chen had become the head of the Seventh Branch, it caused a huge stir.
Everyone thought Lingxiao Academy was too frivolous; now it seemed Lingxiao Academy was the one with great wisdom.
"Hurry and clear the battlefield. Although these demons' bodies are destroyed, the magic crystals should be preserved." After the old man lost his excitement, he immediately ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up.
Beneath the scorched earth, people indeed found fist-sized magic crystals—the place where the evil demons' lifelong essence was condensed.
Eliminating demonic energy can extract pure energy, which is extremely valuable.
While the experts of Yaohua Prefecture were busy cleaning up the battlefield, Long Chen was secretly overjoyed.
After a brief test with the ox-knife, the World-Destroying Fire Lotus possessed such terrifying power. Moreover, he hadn't even used the Great Brahma Heaven Scripture, which showed that the World-Destroying Fire Lotus still had enormous room for improvement.
Because the strength of the World-Destroying Fire Lotus depends on Long Chen's own control. The stronger Long Chen is, the more flame power he can control.
Previously, the World-Destroying Fire Lotus was mediocre, not because the lotus itself was weak, but because Long Chen couldn't control such overwhelming power, which easily damaged his soul and body.
But after advancing to the Divine Lord Realm, Long Chen didn't even know how strong he had become. If he hadn't been surrounded by so many people in Ruixia Prefecture, he would have fought to the bitter end.
In Ruixia Prefecture, he had no choice. No matter how impressive he was, he couldn't take on a group of Realm Kings alone. After returning this time, he immediately felt like he had returned home in glory. Facing the demon army, he was not afraid but extremely excited, as if he finally had a chance to prove himself.
...
At Lingxiao Academy, the barrier was activated. Endless evil demons launched a frenzied attack on the formation. The formation was divided into four layers, divided into three zones.
Within three zones, countless powerful figures were frantically slaying demons, while the nameplates at their waists kept flashing.
"How much are you now?"
"I'm 97,000?" What about you? "
I'm a little more than you, 236,000."
"Damn it, are you deliberately provoking?"
While these powerful figures were killing demons, they still had the energy to chat. The nameplate at their waist actually recorded the number of kills. After the great battle, they could exchange the killed value for treasures.
Moreover, the academy was offering exceptionally generous rewards this time. As long as they kept killing, they could earn the treasures they had always dreamed of.
So everyone fought desperately to kill the evil spirits. Fortunately, there were enough demons; otherwise, these people might have caused conflicts.
Within these three areas, the corresponding realms are the Four Extremes Realm, Divine Lord Realm, and Immortal King Realm. The academy uses a grand formation to separate the realms of the demons, allowing everyone to choose their combat areas based on their own strength.
"What do you think? If Master Long Chen...Brother, here, will he enter the Divine Lord battlefield? Someone suddenly raised a question.
"Don't call me that, call me the director, don't be unconscious." One person shouted.
"Boom!"
At that moment, a loud explosion rang out, causing three areas to shake violently, startling everyone.
Immediately after, people saw a red demon crash violently against the barrier like a meteor.
"Smack!"
The red fiend actually slammed into it, sending flesh flying and slowly sliding down from the barrier. It actually crashed to death.
Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned. What was going on? When they looked into the distance, their mouths dropped open.
