Chapter 7273 Devil Slaughter Begins
Chapter 7273 Devil Slaughter Begins
The outsider devils had hundreds of half-step Heavenly Sovereigns and a massive army. Shockingly, however, none of them seemed to be in the lead; they all stood behind this blonde woman. Clearly, it was this “mere” Sovereign Lord who was the actual leader of this army.
When they reached that conclusion, people shivered. It seemed that the blonde woman’s previous display, mighty though it had appeared, had been just an act. Her true power had to be far more monstrous.
Naturally, the reason she had hidden her true power was to bait more people into coming to save the ones who had foolishly charged in. She didn’t show her true power in order to give them hope.
Su Yu was thankful that they hadn’t fallen for it. If it hadn’t been for Long Chen, no matter how long she hesitated, she probably would have had no option but to lead her forces in as well. The moment she did so, the result would have been set in stone; they would have been wiped out.
The blonde woman raised her hand, and the charging devil army immediately came to a stop. Even half-step Heavenly Sovereigns stood at attention behind her. They didn’t dare to go even a step past her. It could be seen just how extraordinary her status had to be.
“You completely ruined things. I will wring your neck with my own hands!”
While this woman seemed to be treating Long Chen lightly, she was actually completely focused inside. This black-robed man didn’t give off a powerful aura, yet as she faced him, she felt a kind of suffocating sense of pressure. With her years of experience in combat, her senses were very sharp, and her intuition screamed danger.
“Now, now, you can’t put it that way. I didn’t completely ruin it. After all, I tailed you here. If I had attacked you midway, you wouldn’t have even seen them before being wiped out. You should be thanking me for letting you live this long,” replied Long Chen.
“As expected, it was you!”
That woman had been feeling uneasy the whole journey; it had felt as if a pair of invisible eyes were locked onto her. She had used various means to investigate but failed to find any clues. She could only laugh at herself for making up ghosts.
Now that Long Chen said this, she knew that her instincts had been right, yet it was precisely for this reason that she was even more wary. She had been utterly unable to sense his presence; meanwhile, he was not only able to hide from her, but also clearly able to tell her power and status.
At the same time, however, she had confidence in her own power. She also had hundreds of half-step Heavenly Sovereigns on her side, as well as a massive army. With that thought in mind, her unease was quickly suppressed.
“Who are you? Report your name!” she demanded.
“If I say my name and you haven’t heard of it, would that mean that I’m a nameless nobody or that you’re ignorant?” asked Long Chen.
That woman was angered. This black-robed fellow felt like a slippery loach. She was unable to gain any advantage over him. Even getting any useful information out of his mouth was difficult.
“Cut the crap. Since you’re the leader here, come and fight!” she shouted coldly.
“Hold on. I’m not the leader here. It is this peerless beauty beside me that is the true leader. She is an unmatched heroine!” Long Chen pointed at Su Yu in a very obsequious manner.
Su Yu could be considered very experienced by now, and had survived her share of battles, but being introduced like this still made her blush. After all, Long Chen was probably the only one who would give an introduction like this. Su Yu had no experience in this regard.
As for that blonde woman, she clearly didn’t believe him.
“She’s the commander? Then what about you?”
“Me?” Long Chen pointed at his own nose. “Just a dog-headed advisor!”
Su Yu couldn’t help snorting when she heard that. Quite a few people beside her also laughed, and the tense atmosphere was shattered.
It would have been better if they didn’t laugh. The outsider devils didn’t understand human humor, and thought that their enemies were mocking them.
“You are courting death!”
The blonde woman raised her hand, and the devil army instantly began to store up energy. Their auras rose crazily.
The laughter cut off. Everyone from the Four Cardinal Alliance tensed up and clenched their weapons tightly. No one could laugh in front of death. Well... almost no one. Long Chen turned around and looked over the experts on his side. He began picking out people.
“You... you... you... and you...”
He selected over a hundred young disciples, some men and some women. They immediately stepped forward.
“Are you willing to charge into battle with me and take down their queen?” asked Long Chen.
His voice wasn’t loud, but the other side heard it clearly. The blonde woman turned green with fury. Who would be so arrogant as to openly declare their strategy to their enemy? Was there anything more humiliating?
“Being able to fight alongside you is our honor, Senior Long Chen!”
These disciples were essentially the strongest members of the Four Cardinal Alliance’s junior generation. Long Chen’s vision was truly sharp; he had immediately picked them all out.
Long Chen nodded. “Those so-called half-step Heavenly Sovereigns aren’t that strong. The outsider devils are chaotic, and once they go berserk, they are filled with openings. As long as you can cast aside your fear and seize the chance, you are all able to kill them in one blow.”
Those disciples instantly felt their blood heating up. They could challenge half-step Heavenly Sovereigns on their own?
If someone else had told them this, they would definitely curse that person for trying to get them killed. But this was Long Chen, and Long Chen spoke nothing but facts. If he said they have the power to kill half-step Heavenly Sovereigns, then that had to be the truth.
When they thought of that, they grew even more excited. If they could really do this, their families would consecrate them as heroes and their names would be passed down. Even if they died right afterward, it would be worth it!
Long Chen looked at the few half-step Heavenly Sovereigns on their side. “Elders, split up into four groups. When we start fighting, you will be in charge of throwing the enemy into chaos. The goal isn’t to kill enemies, it’s to prevent them from effectively organizing. If the enemy starts to panic, do not pursue them—”
“Attack!”
The blonde woman’s patience was gone. She didn’t want to hear anything further, and gave the order to attack. The massive devil army roared and charged forward. Their roars shook the earth, and the heavens changed color.
“Act according to the plan!”
Starlight suddenly flashed from beneath Long Chen’s feet. Su Yu and the disciples he had picked instantly vanished and reappeared in front of the blonde woman.
She was startled. She had never seen such an uncanny teleportation ability. She immediately gripped the sword on her waist, but she only managed to draw it halfway when Long Chen stepped forward and swung his arm.
His hand made solid contact with her face, sending her flying.
“Brothers and sisters, the devil slaughter begins now!”
