Long Chen's order shocked everyone. After all, the passageway in the main hall was the best defensive point—easy to defend but hard to attack. It could be said that one man could hold the pass, and ten thousand could not break through.
And Long Chen's intention was to let them in, abandoning such a good guard post. For a moment, all the strong warriors of the Celestial Maiden Alliance turned their attention to Bai Shishi.
Bai Shishi couldn't help but frown and asked, "Do you have a better battle strategy?" "
There's no great battle strategy, but holding the cave entrance to the last minute is meaningless.
If we fight head-on, we might be able to hold off most of the enemy, but it will come at a high cost. They have more men and we have fewer, so we can't afford a war of attrition.
And there's one person you definitely can't stop. I think you know who I'm talking about. Long Chen looked at Bai Shishi and said.
"Are you talking about the assassin from the Blood Kill Hall?" Bai Shishi said.
"That's right, the assassins of the Blood Killing Hall are skilled in assassination, especially in the chaos of the battlefield, where they thrive like fish in water.
Maybe you and I aren't afraid of being assassinated by him, but except for the two of us, no one can withstand a fatal blow from him.
I'm someone who likes to use small means to achieve big and get the greatest return at the lowest cost, so I don't want those around me to take such big risks. Long Chen shrugged and said.
"With such fear of death, what great achievement could he possibly accomplish?" Seeing Long Chen say this, a powerful member of the Celestial Maiden Alliance muttered quietly.
Although the woman's voice was low, everyone present could hear her, and there was a hint of disdain in her tone, which made the faces of Luo Bing, Luo Ning, Mu Qingyun, and the others on Long Chen's side instantly turn sour.
The woman actually mocked Long Chen for being afraid of death. Not only were they furious, but even the disciples who had come with Long Chen became filled with righteous indignation.
Although they hadn't interacted much with Long Chen, along the way, he had led them through countless enemy battles and killed tens of thousands of powerful warriors, yet not a single one on their side had died. He was truly a god of war.
Long Chen exchanged a move with Zhao Wuzheng, and that world-shattering power conquered everyone. They were filled with awe and admiration for Long Chen. The woman said Long Chen was afraid of death, which was the greatest insult to anyone.
Although they also admired Fairy Shishi, the words of the Celestial Maiden Alliance were so harsh that they were enraged as well, glaring at the woman.
Bai Shishi also felt that the woman's words were a bit harsh. Just as she was about to scold him, Long Chen smiled slightly and said, "
You're right. I am indeed afraid of dying, because my life does not belong to me at all, but to those brothers and confidants who love me."
Because I knew that if I died, my brothers would be heartbroken, my beauties would be melancholy, and some might even die for me.
It's fine to die yourself, but to leave all your pain to someone else is far too selfish.
So you're right—I'm afraid of dying. Although I do fight desperately, I plan strategies with the lowest risk.
I cherish my own life, and I cherish others' lives just as much. If you feel we don't get along, it's okay if we all fight our own battles. Long Chen said calmly.
Long Chen wasn't angry, but his tone grew colder. Everyone knew that the woman's words had made Long Chen very annoyed.
"If you think you are strong enough and fearless in the face of death, why not guard the cave entrance alone, slay the five great powers, kill all enemies, defeat all heroes, and become famous for a thousand generations?" All of us here can bear witness for you and write a glorious mark of history for you. Luo Ning said coldly. Although Long Chen often bickered with her, his bravery was something she had only ever seen in her life.
Some said Long Chen was afraid of death, but she was completely enraged. She completely ignored his identity and directly retorted, not even giving Bai Shishi any face.
Aren't you supposed to be awesome? Aren't you afraid of dying? If that's the case, why are you still joining everyone? One person fighting a whole group?
The woman's expression changed at the retort. Just as she was about to speak, Bai Shishi said coldly, "Shut up. From now on, you are not allowed to speak. If you dare utter even a word, I'll expel you from the Celestial Maiden Alliance." Although
Bai Shishi was proud and stubborn, and usually protective of her own, this matter was indeed too much.
Although he hadn't spent much time with Long Chen, every expert had self-respect. Especially someone as powerful as Long Chen. For a woman to stir up trouble at such a moment was truly brainless.
Bai Shishi spoke, and the woman's expression finally changed. She didn't dare say another word. She also noticed that even the other disciples of the Celestial Maiden Alliance looked at her with indifferent attitudes, clearly displeased with her earlier words.
"Long Chen, I'm sorry, I failed to discipline you. I apologize to you." Bai Shishi looked at Long Chen with a hint of apology.
Long Chen smiled and shook his head, saying, "No need. Actually, we're all living together now. Relying on each other brings benefits to both sides, but separating brings two injuries."
I am indeed cowardly, but what I just said was focused on the matter, not the person. Our fighting styles might be quite different.
You might prefer the battle style where the brave win, like 'a sharp edge against wheat awns'—simple, direct, quick, and effective, perfectly aligning with the survival law of survival of the fittest in the Immortal Realm.
And I am used to achieving the greatest victory with minimal cost, with the greatest casualties.
If you trust me, I hope you'll compromise a bit to cooperate. If you think my style doesn't suit you, we'll each go our separate ways. For
a moment, everyone turned to look at Bai Shishi, waiting for her to make a decision. Bai Shishi was always proud and kept her word, which made Luo Bing and the others a bit worried.
But to everyone's surprise, Bai Shishi smiled slightly: "There's nothing to be wronged about. I'm curious too—how did you get the greatest reward at the lowest cost? Consider it a lesson. I'll leave this battle to you." Seeing
Bai Shishi agree, the disciples of the Celestial Maiden Alliance showed a hint of surprise on their faces. After all, Bai Shishi seemed to have never worked with anyone before, let alone a man.
Luo Bing and the others cheered. Long Chen was truly strong, and even Bai Shishi was willing to follow his command. Thus, the two forces became one.
Seeing Bai Shishi agree, Long Chen smiled and felt much more at ease. If Bai Shishi refused to cooperate, this battle would likely be a loss.
"I used to think that besides being beautiful, you didn't have many other qualities. I didn't expect you to be quite a good person." Long Chen said with a smile.
"Your way of complimenting people is quite unique, though it feels a bit forced." Bai Shishi said calmly. Being praised by others had left her numb, but for some reason, Long Chen's praise stirred a small ripple in her heart. It seemed that receiving Long Chen's praise was something to be happy about.
"Xiao Le, I've got an important task for you. Since Fairy Shishi agreed to cooperate, let's go all out—this time, we'll kill all the strong members of the five major factions." A long-lost look of excitement appeared on Long Chen's face. He didn't know that black spots had appeared deep in his eyes, as if the pupils of a demon were slowly opening.
