Chapter 1069 (2/2)

“Do you think you’re quiet? If you shout a bit louder, I bet people would be able to hear your excitement all the way to the Eastern Wasteland!” roared one of the Dragonblood warriors beside him . His ears were ringing from that person’s shouting .

“Head Gu Yang, what are you at?” asked a Dragonblood warrior .

“Twenty-seven,” replied Gu Yang .

“Twenty-seven? Impossible! Wait, as in thousands? Ten of thousands?!”

Everyone was startled . Gu Yang, who was just in charge of the eighth rank devil beasts that got past, had already reached over two hundred thousand points . Then wouldn’t Tang Wan-er be at over a million?

Long Chen looked at his bracelet and saw that he had reached three million two hundred and seventy thousand points . Huo Long was incredibly powerful, unrivaled in alchemy and battle . It was unknown what secret technique the Xuantian Dao Sect was using so that the devil beasts killed by Huo Long were counted by his bracelet .

“Hey, can you focus? Or are you going to chat until the day ends? Sister Wan-er, these brothers are getting lazy out of boredom . Let a few more points come by!” cried Guo Ran .

Guo Ran saw that these brats were getting too arrogant . Having forgotten their fear, their confidence ended up inflating . It was time to give them some more work so they would get a bit tense .

Tang Wan-er reduced her attack range slightly . As a result, a huge swarm of devil beasts charged past . The Dragonmark warriors roared and started a slaughter .

After discarding their fear, after putting down their nervousness, after being led through multiple battles by the Dragonblood warriors, the Dragonmark warriors had finally found the feeling of a battle . The difference between them and the Dragonblood warriors was rapidly shrinking .

Long Chen’s side had it extremely easy, while the other factions were about the same . However, the Divine Beast Mansion and Hegemon Hall had both already expanded their attack range .

They were unwilling to just guard their channel . Yan Mochen, Han Yunshan, and Wei Changhai had charged forward a hundred miles and were slaughtering any devil beast in sight .

“f.u.c.k, how despicable! They’re fighting over our points!” raged Guo Ran . The three of them had charged to the front, interfering with Dragonblood Legion’s share of devil beasts . As a result, the number of devil beasts reaching their channel had dropped a great deal . Those three were taking this opportunity to s.n.a.t.c.h their points .

However, not every faction had the ability to send people out to the front . Only the Divine Beast Mansion and Hegemon Hall were both able to guard their channel safely after sending them out .

In truth, Hua s.h.i.+yu’s side also had the power to send out Zhao Ziyan . But Hua s.h.i.+yu didn’t do that . Instead, she continued according to their original rhythm .

As for the Ten Thousand Insect Guild, when w.a.n.g Zhen saw that Long Chen wasn’t doing anything, he seemed to also realize something . If he continued killing all the devil beasts himself, his people wouldn’t have anything to do . He opened a path to allow a few devil beasts to get by for his subordinates .

“Boss, do you want to go out as well?” Guo Ran was irritated that those three would s.n.a.t.c.h their points like this .

“Do you think I’m as stupid as them? If even Su Mo was beaten into such a miserable state, do you think this mission would be this easy? Even an idiot would be able to tell this is just time for us to adapt . Soon, more powerful devil beasts will be released to our side . If they want to be stupid, let them . Let’s see how long they’re capable of being so stupid,” said Long Chen .

As expected, not long after, people sensed something was wrong . The number of the devil beasts was still the same, but the proportion of eighth rank devil beasts was increasing .

In the beginning, only one eighth rank devil beast would appear amongst over two thousand . But now, there was one every thousand devil beasts . Their proportion had doubled .

As soon as that happened, the Divine Beast Mansion and Hegemon Hall’s sides became unsteady . Several eighth rank devil beasts got past Hu Guishan’s blockade and reached his faction behind him, causing great chaos . Although those devil beasts were eventually subdued, dozens of disciples had been killed under their attacks .

Hu Guishan and Fan Song immediately called the three of them back . In their panic, their formations became unsteady, and over a hundred of their people died, causing their faces to turn green with fury .

This was a typical case of trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice used to lure it . In order to get a few more points, so many of their people had died . It was completely not worth it .

On the contrary, the other factions’ blockades were still completely steady . Although the number of eighth rank devil beasts was increasing, their formations didn’t become chaotic and no casualties appeared . Meanwhile, Hu Guishan and Fan Song felt like they had been slapped in the face .

More and more eighth rank devil beasts were appearing . The Dragonblood Legion’s formations switched once more . The Dragonmark warriors fell back while the Dragonblood warriors advanced . More and more devil beasts were getting by, and the Dragonblood warriors began to join in on killing the eighth rank devil beasts .

They also occasionally let an eighth rank devil beast get by for the Dragonmark warriors to experience their power . But they would always call out a warning before letting one get by so that they would be prepared .

Only once the Dragonmark warriors got used to it and were no longer afraid of the eighth rank devil beasts did they truly allow eighth rank devil beasts to get by . Now the Dragonmark warriors had also joined in on the fight against the eighth rank devil beasts .

After another two hours, the number of eighth rank devil beasts had increased once more . Now one would appear around every five hundred devil beasts .

The other factions all found it taxing now . Casualties were starting to appear, and they no longer had it as easy as before . They finally understood that this was a true battlefield, not a trial .

However, Long Chen still didn’t do anything . He stood in the air, overlooking the Dragonblood Legion . To him, the battle had only truly just started . Now was the true time to temper the Dragonblood Legion .

Suddenly, a furious roar rang out in the distance, and a terrifying pressure descended, causing everyone’s expressions to change .
