Chapter 1070 (2/2)

Following a moment of deathly silence, the Dragonblood Legion burst into thunderous cheering .

A ninth rank devil beast had been killed with a single blow from someone at the Sea Expansion realm . Who else was capable of such a thing?

If Long Chen had used his full power to kill it, that would be one thing . But Long Chen hadn’t even released his aura . It had just been a single, easy slash of his saber . It was like he hadn’t killed a terrifying ninth rank devil beast, but a rabbit . It had been so simple, so easy .

This shocked everyone . Tang Wan-er looked at Long Chen wors.h.i.+pfully . She liked it the most when Long Chen displayed his domineering side .

Even Hua s.h.i.+yu’s eyes shone . Long Chen’s attack had just been that stunning .

He had just displayed the true essence of battle tactics, using the smallest price to get the biggest return .

In truth, as soon as Long Chen had seen the ninth rank devil beast, he had determined from its body build that it was a power-type existence . Its agility was very weak .

So while he had been rus.h.i.+ng toward it, he had been acc.u.mulating power the entire time, all to create an opportunity to kill it in one blow . If it was effective enough, just one attack was enough .

This attack had seemed simple, but in reality, it was a display of Long Chen’s true combat powers . It required sharp vision, accurate judgment, great control over power, and most importantly, absolute confidence . If this attack hadn’t managed to kill it, the ninth rank devil beast would have charged through the Dragonblood Legion .

That was also why this one flawless attack made people feel even more excited and pa.s.sionate .

“Ninth rank devil beasts aren’t as frightening as you think . During a battle, the most important thing is your observation skills . As long as you can grasp your opponent’s fatal weakness, they are like cabbage waiting for you to harvest . Everyone, continue killing,” said Long Chen, jumping off the corpse .

The Dragonblood Legion’s warriors roared and attacked all-out . Long Chen’s attack had raised their morale to an unprecedented height . They felt like their bodies were full of energy, so much so that if they didn’t go all-out attacking, their energy would cause their bodies to explode .

“What a handsome attack! An amazing saber, and an even more amazing man!” It was unknown how many maidens in the Heaven Female Alliance were starstruck by this attack . To a woman, such a domineering display possessed a fatal attraction .

To the cultivation world’s women, the more domineering the man, the more moving they would be . And Long Chen’s domineering side was different from other people’s . He never displayed it intentionally . It would just spontaneously reveal itself . It was normally hidden in his bones, or even in his soul .

“Don’t get distracted on the battlefield like love-struck fools,” chided Hua s.h.i.+yu .

“But that attack really was handsome!” Even Zhao Ziyan couldn’t help but sigh emotionally .

“You…!” Hua s.h.i.+yu glared at her . Zhao Ziyan stuck out her tongue and didn’t say any more .

While Long Chen’s attack had stunned everyone, some people were also envious and uneasy .

After killing the ninth rank devil beast, Long Chen extracted a crystal core from its chest . He sensed vast yuan spiritual energy .

The yuan spiritual energy inside this core was hundreds of times stronger than the one from the eighth rank devil beast . It was almost equivalent to gaining a yuan spirit stone .

But just like the last core, the yuan spiritual energy only took up a tenth of its total energy . The rest was useless energy that was completely entangled with it . It would be very difficult to extract .

Thinking of yuan spirit stones, Long Chen smiled . Those were priceless treasures to Foundation Forging disciples . And he had over a billion of them .

Originally, Long Chen had been thinking of selling a few to Zheng Wenlong for some resources, but before he had gone through with that plan, the Dragonblood Legion’s wealth had soared . It was best to use the yuan spirit stones for himself .

As time pa.s.sed, the devil beasts’ numbers increased, and now a tenth of them were at the eighth rank . The proportion was only growing, and all the factions were starting to find it taxing .

Some factions had already started to have casualties . Despite the elites of the factions doing their best to slaughter the devil beasts, there were just too many of them . There was no way to protect everyone, and quite a few comparatively weaker disciples ended up dying .

The Flame Gate had the highest number of casualties . From the start of the battle until now, over seven hundred of their disciples had died .

One reason was because they only had one rank five Celestial, and the other reason was that their leader, Que Xinyan, had no leaders.h.i.+p abilities . Their formations were stiff and rigid .

Casualties had also appeared in the Heaven Female Alliance . However, there weren’t that many . Hua s.h.i.+yu’s flower petals covered a shockingly large area, and on her own, she blocked over half the attacks of the devil beasts . But one person’s strength didn’t represent that their collective strength was great . There were still areas she couldn’t look after .

The only ones that had maintained a zero casualty count were the Dragonblood Legion and the Ten Thousand Insect Guild . But although no humans had died in the Ten Thousand Insect Guild, casualties had appeared in w.a.n.g Zhen’s insect army . He was also starting to find it difficult .

Long Chen constantly paid attention to the Dragonblood Legion, and everything was still well under control . Guo Ran was directing them from the air . Thus, for now, there was no danger .

However, the pressure on them was extremely great now . But at the same time, what Long Chen wanted was that pressure . The new Dragonmark warriors still needed to experience this kind of life and death battle to temper their sharp points .

“Hm, the number of devil beasts is dropping? Is this the end?” Long Chen saw that the devil beasts’ numbers were truly starting to drop .

Suddenly, the ground trembled and huge figures rushed over . Seeing that, even Long Chen’s expression changed .
