Chapter 266
“Sorry, my shop hasn’t been doing too well lately, and I really can’t lower my price like that . How about this? I’m not that unreasonable . I’ll give you three hours to slowly consider whether or not you want to take my price! Don’t worry, I’m not impatient!” said Long Chen .
Gui Yan almost fainted from rage . His disciples wouldn’t even be able to last an hour, let alone three!
This was clearly him refusing to let them off! Now there were less than five hundred Corrupt disciples left .
As for the Righteous disciples facing them, they were still fighting strongly and their numbers were barely dropping by now .
“Fine, I agree to your conditions! Hurry up and stop!” roared Gui Yan furiously .
Hearing Gui Yan’s voice, the Corrupt disciples sighed in relief, lowering their weapons .
But those Righteous disciples still didn’t stop . In just an instant, over ten Corrupt disciples were cut down, their expressions filled with bewilderment, a single thought floating in their minds: isn’t it already over? Why’d you still kill me?
“I’m sorry, what did you say? I couldn’t hear it . ” Long Chen tilted his head to him .
“b.a.s.t.a.r.d, I said I agreed to your terms! Stop!” Gui Yan’s anger soared, his hair standing on end, his face green from fury . His angry roar caused the entire battlefield to shake .
“Oh, now I can hear you . Ah, so sorry . Brothers, stop attacking and fall back . ” Only then did Long Chen shout out his orders . In reality, he also wished to completely exterminate all these Corrupt disciples .
But that would not be strategically smart . These Corrupt disciples were Gui Yan’s final hope . If they were completely killed, Gui Yan really wouldn’t have any misgivings and would go completely crazy . And in his craziness, it would not be possible for Tu Fang to completely block him .
Once Gui Yan went completely crazy, just the aftershocks of his attacks would be able to slaughter these junior disciples . And so killing all the remaining Corrupt disciples wasn’t worth it .
Long Chen knew that was what Gui Yan had to be thinking, and so he only angered him to the perfect point . These remaining five hundred people would be left behind as a slight hope for the Corrupt path .
After all, after experiencing such a huge battle, these remaining disciples were all elites amongst elites . There was still a chance for them to rise again .
So Long Chen was leaving them alive to prevent Gui Yan going crazy, keeping more of the Righteous disciples alive .
As for whether there really was a chance of them rising again, Long Chen didn’t really care . In any case, his goal had been achieved .
On the battlefield, he would be an undefeatable warrior going all-out to kill his opponents . But as a leader, he had to remain his calm, making sure to calculate everything .
That was why he preferred to battle rather than scheme . It was much more satisfying for him to resolve his problems with his fists rather than with his head .
Following Long Chen’s voice, the Righteous path’s disciples withdrew to stand by Long Chen .
Only then did the Corrupt disciples completely relax . Over half their number collapsed on the ground panting, while another portion of them simply fainted .
Their bodies and mental strength had been pushed to the absolute limit during that battle .
Following the junior disciples’ battle ceasing, the senior disciples and Elders also stopped .
Tang Wan-er supported a pale Chu Yao over to Long Chen . Long Chen was extremely distressed to see her like that .
“Sorry, I was too much of a spendthrift . I ended up spending up everything before it was over . ” Long Chen’s last attack had used up all of Chu Yao’s spiritual qi . If he hadn’t, he wouldn’t have been able to block Yin Luo’s final attack that had contained natural energy as well .
And so Chu Yao had not only used up all her spiritual energy, but her mind had received an acute impact at the end .
Looking at Long Chen, Chu Yao felt a burst of warmth in her heart . Long Chen was still the same Long Chen to her . No matter where he went, he was always the star, radiating a light that not even Favored were able to conceal .
In her heart, Long Chen was a true hero . No matter how strong she became, Long Chen still didn’t fall behind at all . Under his lead, the entire battlefield had reversed perfectly .
She gently tidied Long Chen up a bit, fixing his disheveled hair . Her eyes were filled with pride for him .
Tu Fang led a bunch of Elder and senior disciples over to this side as well .
But when Long Chen looked at the crowd, his expression suddenly changed . “Where’s Wilde?!”
Wilde’s giant figure was nowhere to be seen, giving him a fright .
“Calm down, he’s just sleeping,” laughed Tang Wan-er . She pointed, showing him there were eight disciples carrying a huge wooden bed . Wilde was snoring loudly on top of it .
Wilde had managed to kill the hatchet-wielding Favored, but immediately after, the red light faded from his body and he fell asleep . No matter what they did, he wouldn’t wake up .
Although Long Chen didn’t know what exactly was going on, it was obvious it had to do with that abnormal state Wilde had been in . It was as if something had awoken within Wilde while he had been fighting . Long Chen didn’t know what it was, but as long as Wilde was ok, it was fine .
Looking over everyone, Long Chen’s heart sunk .
As he had expected, the fighting had been extremely cruel . It was impossible for everyone to manage to survive . Of their original three thousand Righteous disciples, only a thousand remained .
