Chapter 239 (2/2)

At the beginning, it had been her who had pleaded Long Chen to lead everyone, hoping everyone would be more impa.s.sioned with him in charge .

Her conduct today had been in complete contrary to her own wishes . She had gravely injured Long Chen’s trust .

She had her own difficulties . Although she was powerful, she was a woman who hadn’t experienced much life and death battles . It was too hard for her to change her fighting style so abruptly .

“Sigh, just return to your station . Perhaps you’ll only truly understand what pain is when those behind you fall . Then you’ll know what the purpose of a battle is . ” Long Chen took a deep breath, calming himself down .

Tang Wan-er bit her lip, returning to her troops . They were all completely silent . Even those ordinary soldiers who had luckily managed to survive didn’t dare breathe loudly in this heavy atmosphere .

Long Chen sighed, “Don’t wait to lose something before realizing how to treasure it . Don’t wait to lose something before knowing what pain is . Don’t wait to lose something before realizing what it means to protect .

“Let me tell you a cruel fact . In this battle between the Righteous and Corrupt paths, if even half of us manage to live, that would already count as a heavenly blessing .

“If you still don’t grow up, then maybe it would be better for you to die in the upcoming battles . At least then everything would be over for you . But if you manage to survive without understanding what I’m telling you, then you’ll feel remorse for the rest of your life! Do your best now so that you don’t leave any regrets!”

“Senior brother Long Chen, don’t worry, we’ll only make this mistake once . There definitely won’t be a second time!”

Those core disciples all shouted . They had already been wholeheartedly won over by Long Chen . Not only was it because he was powerful, but it was more because of his vision and wisdom that far surpa.s.sed them .

Long Chen nodded, “Now that we’ve arrived on the battlefield, we can no longer use flying Magical Beasts .

“If my guess is right, the Elders and senior apprentice-brothers are already being held in check by the experts of the Corrupt path . Right now, we can only rely on ourselves .

“These are only the advance troops of the Corrupt path . There will be many more of them who will be even stronger rus.h.i.+ng over .

“Our monastery was extremely close to the battlefields . There are negatives about that, but there are also positives . The negative is that the other Righteous path disciples that are supposed to a.s.sist us are still en route .

“But there’s also a good thing! Hehe, right now, there’s n.o.body fighting with us over heads . You guys should understand . ”

Seeing Long Chen had finally calmed down and smiled, everyone’s excitement once more ignited .

“A couple of you come over and cut off those heads that are still intact . Those are all free points . ”

Suddenly Long Chen turned to Wilde . “Wilde, can’t you pay more attention and be a bit more gentle? With just one smash of your club, two hundred thousand points have disappeared . ”

Everyone felt some pain when they heard that .

“It was all because he was glaring at me . ” Wilde swung his club around, speaking very righteously .

“Ok, well just pay more attention to your strength in the future . And if we run into anyone strong, try to just smash their lower body and leave their head intact . ” Long Chen could only helplessly sigh . Although he knew Wilde’s memory wasn’t so good, it was at least better to explain it to him than not .

“Are these any close cities around here?” Long Chen asked those regular soldiers .

“Reporting to great lord, four hundred miles south is Nanli City . That city is over ten times larger than ours . We don’t know whether it has received an attack or not,” respectfully reported one of them .

Long Chen nodded and gave them a thumbs-up . “To use your own lives to protect the commoners inside your city, you’re all true warriors . ”

Long Chen brought everyone rus.h.i.+ng southwards . Other people from the monastery would quickly go to bring those people to withdraw, so they didn’t need to worry about it .

Their task was to kill those Corrupt disciples who were part of the advance squads to invade their territory . They had to reduce the civilian casualty count as much as possible .

These advance squads might be extremely hateful, but they weren’t actually the main disciples of the Corrupt path . They only came from some second-rate powers . The main army was still behind them .

These advance squads were simply closer to the frontlines . After having been given the order to attack, they were the first to start killing .

They were like a pack of wolves unleashed on the commoners . They crazily slaughtered them to temper their weapons and spirits, as well as making progress with their cultivation techniques .

The souls of commoners weren’t as powerful as disciples of the Righteous path, but if the quality was lacking, they could make it up in terms of numbers .

These early Corrupt disciples all came from weak powers inferior to the Xuantian Monastery . When the real battle began, they probably wouldn’t be able to gain anything, and so they were hoping to use the advantage of their position to quickly get some benefit before retreating to the back .

But they hadn’t expected the place they had chosen to be so close to the Xuantian Monastery . They had only just arrived when Long Chen and them caught them head-on . Since they hadn’t had enough time, they hadn’t gained much before they were destroyed .

As Long Chen brought everyone rus.h.i.+ng south, they suddenly saw a huge city in the distance . There were over a thousand Corrupt disciples savagely charging forward in front of the city gates . They were only a dozen miles from entering the city gates .

“c.r.a.p, the Corrupt disciples are about to enter the city!”

Everyone was worried . If they entered the city, many soldiers and civilians would be killed . They all quickened their footsteps, hoping to arrive their as soon as possible .

But suddenly Long Chen’s pupils shrunk . Atop the city gates, a hooded, cloaked man appeared . Only the lower half of his face could be seen .

When he saw those Corrupt disciples were about to reach the city, an ancient and multi-colored bow appeared in his hands .

His right hand lightly pulled back the bowstring . A golden arrow appeared on the bow .

“Cloudbreaking Arrow!” A cold and grave shout rang out . Although that voice wasn’t loud, everyone hundreds of miles around could somehow hear it .

A golden arrow of light shot over towards the Corrupt disciples .
