Chapter 248
“Whirlwind Slas.h.!.+” Long Chen charged forward like a gust of wind, appearing amidst the ranks of the Corrupt disciples .
A huge saber image spun around rapidly, leaving behind a trail of flying blood and miserable screams .
Shockingly, in just a moment, Long Chen pa.s.sed through their entire ranks, leaving behind only a trail of blood and mincemeat . None of them managed to survive .
That was the first time Long Chen had actually released a true attack since this battle . As soon as he took action, he exterminated so many Corrupt disciples .
There had been four hundred ordinary Corrupt disciples left, but they had all been killed by his single attack . Furthermore, Long Chen’s expression was still completely calm .
Long Chen swung the blood off his saber and rested it on his shoulder .
He smiled to everyone, “Brothers, sisters, you better hurry up . ”
Their blood immediately began to boil when they saw Long Chen . If Long Chen was present, they would never have anything to fear, not even the collapsing of the very heavens .
“Kill!”
Everyone’s attacks became even more ruthless . Currently, all that remained were nine Corrupt core disciples . They were enveloped in despair .
They didn’t even have the chance to run . Four of them were immediately killed . The remaining five did their best to charge out, but they didn’t have any chance .
One of them realized that escape was hopeless, and with a roar, his aura exploded, his body beginning to blow up like a balloon .
“He’s going to self-detonate! Run!”
BOOM!
b.l.o.o.d.y mist filled the air, but what shocked everyone was that another figure had appeared in front of the person who had self-detonated .
That person was Long Chen . He was completely covered in blood now, but he was holding a person’s head now .
“Hehe, even if you want to self-detonate, leave your head behind for me . ”
Long Chen tossed over that person’s head . That was worth two hundred thousand points . Waste was definitely not in Long Chen’s style .
Looking at everyone’s stupefied expressions, Long Chen laughed, his smile filling them with warmth .
“Since we’ve already won, you can cheer as much as you like, hahaha!” Long Chen took the lead to laugh . Only then did the others relax enough to cheer to their hearts’ content, releasing all their excitement .
“When did you get back Long Chen?” Tang Wan-er and them walked over to Long Chen . They hadn’t expected Long Chen to get back so quickly .
“I got here just before the battle started . I purposely hid myself to see whether or not you could all handle this pressure . This time you were all really amazing . I even purposely told Wilde not to go out to let you guys feel more danger . ”
Only then did everyone realize that they had forgotten about Wilde . All they had been thinking about was how to kill their enemies .
“Brother Long told me not to help, so you can’t blame me!” Wilde was a bit embarra.s.sed .
Just as the battle was starting, Wilde had received a hidden transmission from Long Chen to not attack . And if he had to attack, he was only allowed to kill those ants, not the core disciples .
Gu Yang bitterly laughed, “We really are dumb . As soon as we started fighting, we forgot about everything, include such a powerful person like Wilde . ”
Tang Wan-er was completely red . As the commander-in-chief, she had forgotten about their strongest trump card . She almost died from shame .
“It’s not your fault . Wilde is just too quiet and never talks . He’ll normally just stay resting the entire time . It’s easy to forget him . ” Song Mingyuan laughed .
This matter really was too embarra.s.sing . They were afraid that Long Chen would scold them again . It really wasn’t acceptable for them to forget about their own people .
Long Chen laughed . “Actually, this time you benefited from forgetting about him . Because you forgot about how powerful a trump card Wilde is, you were under even greater pressure . That allowed you to release your greatest strength . ”
Tang Wan-er was still blus.h.i.+ng . “Long Chen, are you trying to comfort me? If that’s all you’re doing, I’d rather you scold me . ”
Long Chen shook his head . “Actually, I don’t have the right to criticize you . I realized many of my own errors from that battle just now . ”
Everyone was startled by that . Long Chen continued, “In this world, there’s no perfect methods or systems that are absolutely correct . That includes my own method .
“At the beginning, I was hoping to rely on my strength to lead everyone . I knew how cruel our opponents are, and I wanted to ponder ways to raise my own potential, allowing me to be your shepherd . It was wrong for me to try to guide you all like that . ”
“Why?” Tang Wan-er didn’t understand .
Long Chen sighed, “I’ve ended up becoming your goal, just a target for you to focus on . If this continued, you would all just end up being my accessories . But if I were to disappear, you would have nothing to adhere to .
“But what is extremely fortunate this time is that I had to leave you all . Before you had completely adhered yourselves to me, you’ve learned you can stand alone .
“You all fought this battle beautifully . During battle, you all forgot about your own safety, thinking only about your comrades behind you .
“That is the power of a will to protect . While facing death, you all managed to discard your innate fear and chose to protect .
“And so, you’ve all obtained your own rewards! Congratulations!”
Long Chen excitedly looked at everyone . That kind of expression was rare on Long Chen who always seemed completely calm .
