Chapter 1019

Those disciples finally saw the reality around them and made their determination to put everything on the line . In this instant, they forgot their terror . They only had one thought: to go all-out killing .

Long Chen’s words were very clear: others could help you for a moment, but they couldn’t help you for a lifetime . If you wanted to get stronger, you had to rely on yourself . He could only give them a chance to take a breath .

But this chance was exceptionally precious . He had helped them escape from the bindings of their terror and make their resolve .

“Yes, just like this . Go all-out and show those bastards who looked down on us just whose talent isn’t high enough . What are geniuses there for? To be trampled upon! Use the weapons in your hands to give them vicious slaps in the face . Make sure those slaps are fierce enough to show your mettle!” encouraged Guo Ran .

He finally had an opening to raise these disciples’ fighting spirit . By saying ‘us’, he drew them closer to the Dragonblood Legion .

Seeing this group of disciples, Guo Ran and the others thought of themselves . Their talent had also been also lacking, and the resources they had were mediocre . It was Long Chen who had pulled them to their current height .

It aroused their sympathy to see these people being looked down upon and tossed aside . The entire Dragonblood Legion had been thinking about helping them from the start .

Experts needed a chance to become experts . In the same way, if they hadn’t encountered Long Chen back then, then let alone coming to the Central Plains, they would probably still be mediocre existences in the Eastern Wasteland .

So Long Chen’s conduct inspired them as well . Even after all this time, he hadn’t forgotten his original heart . This boss of theirs was still the same boss who made decisions according to his original heart .

Once thirty thousand disciples went all-out, it was an extremely powerful sight . Once a person chose to put their life on the line, they would be able to unleash several times their normal combat power .

Long Chen charged with the Dragonblood warriors, and the Bone Spur Devil Apes were slaughtered easily . Huo Long was especially powerful . With each fire breath, it killed a wave of them . There was no need for Long Chen to do anything .

Behind him, Gu Yang and the others were slaughtering them as well . These Bone Spur Devil Apes were actually only at the level of ordinary Sea Expansion experts . The reason they had managed to kill so many people at the beginning was because those people had been too terrified to fight properly . They had never seen such terrifying beasts, nor had they ever seen a person by their side get torn apart .

Even the ordinary disciples behind the Dragonblood Legion were dominating them now that they had shed their shackles of terror and were releasing their true power . Working together, there wasn’t much threat to them . They started to get in a rhythm .

By the time Tang Wan-er stopped offering them any further support with her wind blades, they were able to hold their own . Their original panic was gone, and within this slaughter, they gradually came to understand the feeling of a life and death battle .

Seeing this, Long Chen nodded . He was a human, not a god . He could only do this much . As for how many of them could survive, that would be up to how hardy their lives were .

Qian Duoduo was following Guo Ran . He suddenly realized that every single person in the Dragonblood Legion was incredibly powerful . They never needed a second move to kill a Bone Spur Devil Ape .

Compared to the experts from the other factions, they were completely different . Their moves weren’t flashy and grand; instead, they were sharp and ruthless . Each of their moves were unleashed with the intent to kill the Bone Spur Devil Apes in the fastest, most effortless manner .

The valley was a thousand miles wide, and Bone Spur Devil Apes crashed down upon them from every direction . They had no choice but to quicken their steps, because if they slowed down, it would become even more difficult . Each faction had sent their top experts to the front to open a path .

Those elite disciples were all powerful . This was the only way for the whole faction to continue at the same speed .

…

Within the Elder Hall, the hall master praised, “This Long Chen truly is incredible . With just a few words, he dispelled their terror and roused their courage . Just what level of charisma does that require? Once the trial is over, the disciples that live will definitely become his loyal followers . It’s unknown if Long Chen has some plan for them or if he really is so gallant . If it’s the former, then his scheming ability really runs deep . He’s already so powerful, and he has such a group of loyal followers . If he uses them for good, it could benefit the whole world, but if he uses them for evil…”

“He won’t . Based on what I know about him, although he doesn’t show any arrogance on the surface, he is actually extremely prideful and unyielding . He would disdain doing such things . Furthermore, he cares deeply about relationships and treats his people very well . In terms of moral quality, there is definitely no problem,” said Li Changfeng .

“Since you’re so sure, I’m at ease . ” The hall master smiled .

“No, no, I don’t dare to say anything for sure . Although there’s no problem with his moral quality, he’s too stubborn . Once he decides something, he won’t change his mind even in death . He’s a master at causing trouble . With my frail old bones, I don’t dare to guarantee anything about him!” said Li Changfeng with a bitter smile .

“We aren’t lacking geniuses, but we are lacking good leaders . The five heavenly geniuses from the Central Plains have great talent and strength, and the Dao Sect places high hopes on them . But now that Long Chen has arrived, the original plan has to be changed . The four regions’ disciples used to just be green leaves led by the Central Plains’ disciples . But now a few new variables have entered the equation,” said the hall master .

In truth, the inner sect trial was the playing field for the Central Plains’ disciples . The four regions’ disciples were nothing more than extras .

“Then the amount of core disciple spots this time…?”

“There originally shouldn’t have been a spot for Long Chen, but our competition must be fair . If Long Chen really can keep up with the other five until the end, bring out an extra one for him,” said the hall master .

“But the number of the core disciple spots has already been set . And the Law Enforcement Hall…” Li Changfeng hesitated .

“It’s fine . Since we’ve chosen not to endure any longer, we have to be unyielding as well . We’ve restrained ourselves for so long that they think we’re easy to bully . But still, it’s too early to say anything . Long Chen’s charisma might be strong and he has high leadership abilities, but in terms of power, he probably can’t compare to the Central Plains’ heavenly geniuses . After all, their foundations are too far apart . Those heavenly geniuses are monsters, and the power they’ve displayed is just the tip of the iceberg,” said the hall master .

Thinking about it, the other Elders agreed . Although Long Chen might be at the peak of the four regions’ disciples, in front of the Central Plains’ heavenly geniuses, he was at too much of a disadvantage .

But the hall master, Li Changfeng, and a few others thought of something else . Although right now, Long Chen hadn’t shown enough power to stand on the same level as the Central Plains’ monsters, the patriarch had been disturbed because of his existence . In other words, things definitely weren’t as simple as they thought .

In truth, both the hall master and Li Changfeng hoped for Long Chen to put on a powerful enough display for the Elder Hall to fight for an extra core disciple spot for him .

Helping Long Chen was helping themselves . The Elder Hall couldn’t directly clash against the Law Enforcement Hall, but they could use Long Chen to display their tough position and establish their own prestige .

The Elder Hall had no choice but to be tough . Otherwise, the Law Enforcement Hall would become even more arrogant and suppress them even more fiercely . Long Chen was their best weapon against them .

…

Long Chen didn’t know there were so many people discussing him . Right now, he was leading the Dragonblood Legion forward . The Bone Spur Devil Apes were growing stronger and stronger .

After two hours, the disciples had advanced two hundred miles . Now the Bone Spur Devil Apes were so strong that people died with each passing moment . There were too many of them, and they were unafraid of death . No matter how many of them died, they continued charging .

It was like the only thought in their heads was to kill . They had no sense of terror . They were natural slaughter weapons, merciless and brutal .

The six factions continued to rush forward . But what startled people was the fact that Long Chen’s faction had the lowest mortality rate!

After two hours, only less than eight hundred of them had died . As for the other factions, at least ten thousand disciples had lost their lives in total .

“The Bone Spur Devil Apes are getting stronger and stronger,” said Gu Yang darkly .

Even after all this time, the Bone Spur Devil Apes didn’t drop in number . Instead, their bodies were growing larger and stronger . Even the Dragonblood warriors couldn’t be careless any longer .

Suddenly, countless huge figures covered the sky . Huge leopards with a pair of wings on their backs swooped down . They were incredibly fast, so fast that they seemed like phantoms .

“AHH!”

A rank four Celestial’s sword was shattered with a single claw from these devil leopards . Along with his sword, half his body exploded as well .

Everyone was taken by surprise . These devil leopards weren’t just fast; they were incredibly powerful . Caught off-guard, quite a few people were cut down in an instant, and panic struck the disciples .

Several of them came toward Long Chen, quick as lightning . Long Chen smiled slightly and extended his hand .
