Facing Fear

A large group of Evil Path Disciples appeared in front, making Tang Waner nervous for a moment, but she forced herself to calm down.

"Prepare to engage!"

Tang Waner stood at the front of the entire formation, and everyone drew their weapons, readying themselves for battle.

Long Chen shook his head while watching from afar. When two armies clash, one should seize the initiative; this is not just a strategic deployment, but also a psychological tactic.

Anyone who takes the initiative occupies the advantage, possesses a certain psychological edge, and has stronger morale.

If it were Long Chen here, if you attacked, I would attack back, exploding with Aura at the very first moment so as not to be suppressed by others.

Such a battle deployment is related to Long Chen's personality. The arrogance in his bones makes it impossible for him to bow to anyone.

However, Long Chen did not stop them, but watched quietly. Although nearly 1,500 Evil Path Disciples appeared in front all at once.

But Long Chen could see that their cultivation was merely second-rate. Although they were fierce, in terms of real combat power, they could not compare with the Branch Courtyard Disciples.

Although the number of Disciples on both sides was almost equal, as long as the Branch Courtyard Disciples could let go of the fear in their hearts, these Evil Path Disciples would definitely not be their match.

The key is that Long Chen is not in the team, which is a blow to their confidence, but this is also the best time to train them.

No matter how strong a person is, it is impossible to protect every one of them, so they must fight for their own lives.

"Kill!"

The leader of the Evil Path was a tall, fierce-looking man who roared, slashed his blood-colored scimitar at Tang Waner.

"Leave this guy to me!"

Gu Yang rushed to Tang Waner's front, runes lit up all over his body, and he punched toward that guy.

Gu Yang's Physical Body was very powerful. After being blessed by runes all over his body, his fist was as hard as steel, crashing fiercely onto that person's long blade.

That person was also extremely tough, and was also a strength-type expert. The blood-colored scimitar in his hand shook, and he engaged in a fierce battle with Gu Yang.

At this time, the Evil Path Disciples had already rushed to the front, raising their weapons and killing their way over.

For some reason, when the enemy rushed to the front, Tang Waner actually calmed down. Perhaps this is what happens when tension reaches its extreme, and one stops being nervous instead.

Her Soul power swept across the enemy team, and she discovered that among the enemies, there were actually three more Core Disciple-level experts than on their side.

"Form up and kill! Offense and defense as one!"

Tang Waner shouted loudly. This was something Long Chen usually made them practice. In a situation where the strength of both sides is similar, combine the strong and weak in the team, with some people specifically responsible for attacking and some specifically responsible for defending, to improve overall combat power.

After Tang Waner gave the order, she had already rushed out, her wind blade slashing down at an Evil Path Core Disciple.

"Boom!"

This time, Tang Waner no longer had any scruples. She only had the thought of killing the opponent in her heart, and she attacked with full force.

The long blade in that Evil Path Core Disciple's hand actually shattered directly under Tang Waner's wind blade, and he flew backward.

"Soaring Wind Pierce!"

However, Tang Waner did not give him a chance. After one strike, she steadied her left hand, and another arrow made of wind power flew out, piercing directly through the chest of that Evil Path Core Disciple.

"Puff!"

Tang Waner's wind pierce, which carried rune power, was tougher than ordinary steel. The opponent was caught off guard and died instantly.

Long Chen, who was secretly watching the battle from behind, had a smile on his face. Indeed, human potential is infinite.

Tang Waner finally felt the pressure, knowing that if she couldn't kill a few Core Disciples quickly, it would cause great casualties to the team behind her.

Therefore, the fighting style just now was almost an instinct. She didn't think about anything in her mind, regardless of any Move or technique, she only sought to kill with one strike.

Tang Waner killed an Evil Path Core Disciple in one Move, which even surprised herself, but now there was no time to think so much, she could only kill those Core Disciple-level Evil Path Disciples with all her strength.

Tang Waner's strength suddenly startled the Evil Path Disciples, and three Core Disciple-level Evil Path Disciples immediately rushed toward Tang Waner.

Tang Waner let out a delicate shout, a blood-colored clan tattoo lit up between her eyebrows, and the huge wind blade in her hand roared crazily as she killed toward the three.

"Boom!"

With just the first attack, the three were immediately sent flying by Tang Waner's wind blade, and the violent aftermath instantly shook a dozen unlucky people nearby to death.

"Wind Sweeps the Clouds!"

Tang Waner gave a cold shout, and suddenly, tens of thousands of palm-sized wind blades rotated rapidly around her, following the extension of her jade hand.

Those thousands of wind blades, like a cloud, flew toward the Evil Path Disciples in front.

"Puff, puff, puff, puff, puff…"

Those wind blades were all condensed from Tang Waner's wind power, and each wind blade carried rune power. Those ordinary Evil Path Disciples had no ability to resist at all and were cut into pieces of flesh one after another.

After one strike, blood rained everywhere, and the originally dense crowd was instantly cleared out in a large area. Not only were those three Core Disciples killed, but at least three hundred Evil Path Disciples were annihilated.

"Finally starting to use powerful Moves." Long Chen couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder; Tang Waner was indeed hiding her true strength.

However, after releasing this attack, Tang Waner's pretty face was a bit pale. That Move was powerful, but the consumption was also extremely terrifying.

"Kill! Wipe out these Evil Path idiots!"

Tang Waner's all-out attack instantly raised the Aura of the Branch Courtyard. Everyone roared and rushed toward the Evil Path Disciples.

The Evil Path Disciples were startled by Tang Waner's strength, but after so many people died all at once, it didn't scare them away; instead, it ignited the ruthlessness in their bones.

Seeing Tang Waner's pale face, those Evil Path Core Disciples saw at a glance that her breath had dropped a lot, and they rushed toward her one after another.

"You Evil Path turtle sons, come over here to your daddy!"

Song Mingyuan and the others cursed loudly and rushed toward the Evil Path Core Disciples. In their anger, they spoke without thinking and didn't realize that they had cursed themselves as well.

Tang Waner killed four Core Disciple-level experts in a row, which immediately tilted the balance of core combat power toward the Branch Courtyard.

Tang Waner gritted her teeth, held her wind blade, and rushed toward the other two Core Disciple-level experts. Although her breath was much weaker, and it was unlikely for her to instant-kill Core Disciple-level experts again, blocking two people was still not a problem.

In this way, the Branch Courtyard could have two more Core Disciples to kill the Evil Path Disciples to their heart's content, reducing casualties on their side.

For a time, Core Disciples fought, and ordinary Disciples attacked each other. The whole scene was filled with flashing blades and flying flesh and blood.

Although the Branch Courtyard occupied a very large advantage, facing the fierce Evil Path Disciples, they were still in constant danger, and soon people were injured and blood was spilled.

The medical Disciples behind hurried forward to treat the wounds. It was a bit chaotic at first, but as the battle continued, the Branch Courtyard finally found its own rhythm and began a crazy counterattack.

Unlike the Evil Path Disciples, who were like loose sand and fought on their own, everyone's cooperation became more and more skillful and tacit.

And the Core Disciples fighting in the front attacked those Evil Path Disciples crazily because they were worried that the Disciples behind would not be able to hold on, causing too many casualties.

So everyone gritted their teeth, even using Moves that would hurt both sides with the Evil Path Disciples, trading life for life, attacking crazily, striving to kill the opponent as quickly as possible.

What they didn't know was that just when they were fighting crazily, something had quietly lit up on the foreheads of many people.

As that thing quietly lit up, their Aura was rising crazily, but they were still fighting for their lives and didn't notice it at all.

The melee of ordinary Disciples was more dangerous than the battle of the Core Disciples in front, because there were too many people, blades flying everywhere, and they could lose their lives at any time.

However, at this time, it made them forget the fear in their hearts. They only knew to protect their comrades' backs, and even if they died, they could not let others rush over.

"Puff!"

A Disciple of the Heaven and Earth Association slashed an Evil Path Disciple with one blade, but didn't expect that the Evil Path Disciple was extremely fierce and hugged his long blade tightly before dying.

And at this time, another Evil Path Disciple rushed over, the long blade in his hand stabbing toward his chest. It was too late to dodge.

A look of unwillingness appeared in that Disciple's eyes. If he died, who would protect his brother's back?

Seeing the blade coming, he waited for the blade to pierce his body, then he would hug the opponent, and even if he had to bite with his teeth, he would bite the opponent to death.

"Puff!"

That fierce face suddenly jumped into the air. Yes, only the face jumped into the air, because the part below his neck hadn't moved at all.

The Disciple was shocked, and saw a person looking at him from behind the blood light, giving him a thumbs up.

"Long…"

That person was exactly Long Chen. He had already sneaked into the crowd during the chaos, but he hadn't attacked, always paying attention to the entire battlefield. Only when someone was about to be killed did he secretly make a Move.

This was already the seventh time he had made a Move. Long Chen made a shushing gesture to the Disciple, casually slapped two Evil Path Disciples nearby to death, and then disappeared into the crowd again.

Long Chen didn't want to expose the news of his return; he just wanted to let everyone explode with their true strength and courage under extreme pressure.

This is a hurdle. Once they cross it, they will no longer fear death, find the true meaning of cultivation, and only in this way can they become a true expert.

Watching those Core Disciples in the fierce battle, gritting their teeth, unaware that they had awakened their ancestral runes, a smile appeared on Long Chen's face.

Anyone who can activate ancestral runes has something to protect in their heart; such people are hot-blooded men.

Long Chen secretly guarded them. Whenever someone was in danger, he would go up and strike with a blade. As time went by, everyone finally discovered that Long Chen was actually in their team, and their morale became even stronger.

The Evil Path Disciples were becoming fewer and fewer, while the Aura of the Xuantian Branch Courtyard was becoming stronger and stronger. Even if the Evil Path Disciples were fierce, they were scared.

Now there were only four hundred people left alive, and those Core Disciples couldn't hold on either. I don't know who took the lead, but those Evil Path Disciples actually turned and ran.

"Hahahaha, you're already here, are you embarrassed to leave without leaving something behind? We won't make things difficult for you; just leave your heads behind, and you can go however you want."

Long Chen laughed loudly, his voice shaking in all directions. Tang Waner and the others heard Long Chen's voice and couldn't help but feel their spirits lift.

"Whirlwind Slash!"
