When Wanyan Kanglie saw that Luo Chen had released his sword aura again, he was immediately alarmed.
But upon closer reflection, I immediately understood the problem!
"The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth of the Ming Cult! You are a monstrous creature of the Ming Cult! Die!"
At this moment, Wanyan Kanglie finally realized what was happening. He stopped releasing the Desert Blade Qi and instead used his crescent blade to slash directly at Luo Chen!
"Heh, you little brat, you're not stupid after all! Come on, grandpa's going to slap you!" With that, Luo Chen ignored the crescent-shaped blade and raised his hand to deliver a slap.
Chapter Ninety-Three: The Army's Killing Intent
"Extremely arrogant!"
When Wanyan Kanglie saw that Luo Chen didn't even try to block him, he felt utterly humiliated!
For a powerful expert at the mid-stage of the Qi Condensation Realm to be ignored by someone at the early stage of the Qi Condensation Realm... is indeed an insult!
"Since you want to die, then I will make it happen for you!"
Wanyan Kanglie's eyes flashed with murderous intent, as if he could already see Luo Chen being sliced in two by him!
boom!
The crescent blade struck Luo Chen squarely on the left shoulder, but instead of the sound of flesh being ripped apart that Wanyan Kanglie had imagined, it made a dull thud!
Snapped!
At the same time, a crisp slap resounded loudly on Wanyan Kanglie's left cheek!
With the slap, Wanyan Kanglie's head jerked outwards, and when he turned to look at Luo Chen's shoulder, his mouth gaped open in shock!
"Impossible! How could someone with only the early stage of Qi Condensation Realm have such strong defensive capabilities!" Wanyan Kanglie was utterly shocked!
On Luo Chen's shoulder, there was a tear in his clothes, but the skin underneath was only slightly scraped!
"Fine, I'm not going to waste my breath on you! You can't kill me, and I can't kill you either. But I have backup!"
Luo Chen just wanted to test the defense when the Demon King's Beginner Cloak and the Demon King's Beginner Golden Silk Armor were used together.
After trying it out, I found it to be indeed powerful, and I felt that there was no point in continuing the fight, so I immediately summoned the eight holy maidens!
"This person is yours to handle. Perform well, and if you do well, you can be exempted from future punishments and receive an extra reward of Demon Slave Candy!"
Luo Chen looked at the eight holy maidens and gave them a command.
"Yes! Master!"
Having endured such hellish punishment, the eight holy maidens were no longer as arrogant as before. Now, every time they saw Luo Chen, they couldn't wait to make a good impression and hope to gain his leniency.
And now, this is the opportunity!
Especially when they heard Luo Chen say that they could be temporarily exempted from future punishment, the eight holy maidens were so excited that tears welled up in their eyes, and they wished they could immediately kneel before Luo Chen and sing his praises to him!
Moreover, the extra reward, the Demon Slave Candy, was something they had always dreamed of eating.
Every time they saw Zhou Zhiruo and Zhao Min eating Demon Slave Candy, the Eight Holy Maidens would swallow their saliva. Now that they had the chance to taste Demon Slave Candy themselves, the eight of them immediately felt like they were about to touch heaven!
"The Saintess Scattering Flowers Formation!"
The Fire Dance Saintess suddenly opened her folding fan, her bright red skirt fluttering as she let out a proud shout.
Then the other seven holy maidens simultaneously channeled their cultivation and together constructed the Holy Maiden Scattering Flowers Formation!
Petals of snowflakes appeared out of thin air, carrying eight different attributes as they densely attacked Wanyan Kanglie!
Although the Saintess Scattering Flowers Formation is only at the mid-stage of the Qi Condensation Realm, the Saintess's power is amplified by the formation's enhancement. When all the flying flowers lock onto the same target, the power naturally increases significantly!
Just like when dealing with Yang Caotian before, with Yang Caotian's cultivation level and strength, only by relying on the power of the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth could we deal with him.
Wanyan Kanglie did not know the Qiankun Great Shift technique, so he could only rely on his internal strength and the falling petals to fight back!
There won't be any problems in the short term, but if it goes on for too long... we'll be worn down!
"Come here, kill me!"
The moment Wanyan Kanglie sensed the Holy Maiden Scattering Flowers Formation, he realized he was at a disadvantage. So he shouted and ordered his troops to advance!
"Hehe, you guys just focus on dealing with this idiot, I'll take care of the army!"
Luo Chen gave an order, then with a flick of his wrist, he took out the Hunting Slave Whip and leaped directly towards the 100,000 personal guards!
The ancients often described a truly awesome person as someone who can hold off ten thousand men!
Luo Chen also wanted to experience this awesome feeling.
"kill!"
Suddenly, the shouts of 100,000 imperial guards shook the heavens, and in perfect unison, they shouted "Kill!"
This sound was incredibly explosive; even with his early-stage Qi Condensation Realm cultivation, he felt a sharp pain in his head!
What's going on? Luo Chen was nearly driven to madness by the shouts of 100,000 people. He was startled and horrified when he thought about it!
"These people are clearly only at the late stage of the Acquired Realm, and the stronger ones are only at the early stage of the Innate Realm. Why was that 'kill' word just now filled with killing intent?"
Luo Chen clearly felt that if he hadn't frequently used his willpower to enslave demon slaves and demon puppets, thus unconsciously training his willpower to be extremely strong, that shout of "kill" just now might have knocked him unconscious!
To directly stun a powerful expert in the early stage of Qi Condensation Realm—what does that mean!
Luo Chen suddenly remembered when he encountered Princess Rongrong in the suburbs outside Yuandu City. The twenty cavalrymen who attacked him together had the strength to fight against the early stage of the Innate Realm.
Now that he thought about it, Luo Chen suddenly understood why Mr. Jin clearly set up in his original work that even if a martial arts master had a high level of cultivation, he would be completely defeated in front of the army!
This is probably what they mean by "no matter how skilled you are in martial arts, you're still afraid of a kitchen knife!"
"No matter what, it's best to be careful. Damn it, my life is worth a lot. If I die at the hands of these Mongol soldiers, I'll be at a huge loss!"
Luo Chen slowed down, abandoning his original idea of jumping directly into the middle of the 100,000 guards and unleashing a flurry of attacks. Instead, he attacked from the front, directly facing the first wave of soldiers.
huh~
The hunting whip was swung out and lashed out at the front row of soldiers!
If this whip were to strike, the first dozen or so soldiers would immediately be sent to the monster hunting grounds.
"Yu!"
Just then, a burly man wearing an officer's hat in the front group of soldiers suddenly shouted.
In an instant, the crescent blades of nearly a hundred people in front of them clanged and clattered, and a hundred blades of late-stage acquired cultivation flashed, actually forming a thin film of baby's true energy in front of the first row of soldiers!
*Snap!* Just then, Luo Chen's hunting whip lashed fiercely across the thin membrane of true energy! ...
Chapter Ninety-Four: Morale Kill
Without a doubt, even a casual whip strike from someone at the early stage of the Fallen Dust Qi Condensation Realm is incredibly powerful.
The membrane of true energy was instantly shattered by Luo Chen's whip!
However, this also mitigated some of the power of Luo Chen's whip, resulting in only seven or eight Yuanmeng soldiers being whipped into the demon pet hunting grounds.
"Combined Scimitar Attack!"
The officer with the hat shouted again, and instantly all the soldiers within ten paces of Luo Chen moved in unison, gripping their swords in their right hands and slashing out in unison towards Luo Chen!
hum~
In that instant, one could clearly feel that the slashes unleashed simultaneously by about five or six hundred people were filled with internal force and sword intent, comparable to a strike from the peak of the late-stage Innate Realm!
If you encounter a typical late-stage Innate Realm expert in battle, you can easily kill them instantly!
"So the military really can achieve a qualitative change through quantitative change, and can actually make up for the lack of cultivation by simply increasing the number of people. This is practically cheating!"
Luo Chen had completely figured out the army's tactics, and was thankful that he hadn't jumped directly into the middle of the army; otherwise, he would have been surrounded by soldiers on all sides, and if they had attacked simultaneously...
Although a single blow might not necessarily kill Luo Chen, its power would certainly be unforgettable for him.
call out!
The combined attack of the scimitars violently struck Luo Chen's chest, but it had no effect whatsoever.
The first Moon Demon attribute ignores any attacks below the early stage of Qi Condensation!
Snapped!
Having figured out the army's tactics, Luo Chen started acting recklessly again, whipping the Hunting Slave Whip wildly, instantly sending at least a dozen soldiers flying into the Monster Hunting Grounds.
"Short bow rain!"
The officer in the hat in front had disappeared, and this time it was several captains of the thousand-man squads inside who were shouting loudly!
In that instant, about seven thousand people took out their short bows, drew their bows and nocked their arrows, and shot them all at once!
This wave of arrows broke through the peak of the late-stage Innate Realm and reached a power comparable to the early-stage Qi Condensation Realm. It descended with earth-shattering force!
Unlike the scattered rain of arrows, this rain of short arrows is not dispersed, but concentrated in one place, which is why the power of the single-target attack is so great!
Luo Chen sensed the power of the early stage of Qi Condensation Realm, but remained unmoved. He walked directly towards the rain of short bows, lashing out wildly with his Hunting Slave Whip.
More and more Mongol soldiers are disappearing into thin air!
In this state, even the most resolute soldiers would feel panic.
After all, even if you're facing a devil, you always have a way to kill him, so the devil isn't really that scary.
But if you are facing a demon that you cannot shake, then that demon will plant a shadow of fear in your heart!
And Luo Chen was the devil who planted the shadow of fear in the hearts of these Mongol soldiers!
Gradually, some soldiers began to retreat.
In the soldiers' eyes, the dark green whip looked like an evil venomous snake with the ability to devour everything; once the snake's head touched it, it would be instantly swallowed up!
In the short time that followed, hundreds of Mongol soldiers had vanished into thin air!
Wanyan Kanglie, who was trapped in the Saintess Scattering Flowers Formation, also saw the sense of powerlessness spreading among the soldiers.
Of course, these were only the soldiers at the very front; the soldiers behind them had no idea what was happening ahead and naturally weren't afraid.
"One hundred thousand Imperial Guards, heed my command, unleash your morale-boosting attack!"
Seeing that the soldiers were unable to effectively surround and kill Luo Chen, Wanyan Kanglie shouted and used his trump card.
This sound reached the ears of 100,000 guards, shocking all of them!
Especially the soldiers who were unaware of the truth, they couldn't believe their ears that a morale booster was about to be unleashed.
It is important to understand that morale is the foundation of an army's morale!
Every soldier possesses a certain level of morale, and when an army has a large number of soldiers, the accumulated morale becomes a terrifying force!
Morale can enhance soldiers' combat effectiveness and recovery ability, and can also be released at once to launch a collective single-target attack!
However, once morale is low, it will take at least a month to slowly recover!
Soldiers who lose morale will have their combat effectiveness and recovery ability significantly affected, and some may even experience a decline in intelligence and physical abilities!
No large army would rashly use a morale-boosting attack unless absolutely necessary!
In fact, every time a large-scale army uses morale-boosting tactics, it means they have encountered an extremely powerful martial arts master. Under the power of morale-boosting tactics, even the most powerful master will be instantly reduced to dust!
At this moment, when the 100,000 imperial guards heard that they were going to use morale-boosting tactics, they were all shocked. Just what kind of powerful person was this assassin who came to kill the emperor?
They're actually going to use a morale-boosting tactic!
However, since the commander-in-chief had given the order, the soldiers dared not disobey!
Immediately, all the soldiers slammed their fists on their chests and shouted in unison, "Morale! Morale! Morale!"
boom!
Amidst the unified shouts of nearly 100,000 people, wisps of blood-red gas rose from the bodies of all the soldiers—this was the morale of each soldier!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
As the streaks of crimson gas rose above everyone's heads, all the soldiers shouted in unison once again.
hum~
Suddenly, all the crimson gas seemed to come alive, simultaneously finding a target and rapidly converging towards the center of the entire soldier formation.
All of this seemed complicated, but in fact it only took about two breaths for all the blood-red gas to condense in the middle of the soldiers' formation!
"Motivation kill! Where morale leads, nothing can stand in its way! Kill!" Accompanied by the roar of nearly 100,000 soldiers, the torrent of blood-red gas in the sky, like a giant blood-red dragon, charged towards Luo Chen with earth-shattering power in an instant! ...
