"Why are you looking at me? Aren't you taking advantage of the demons not charging in to form battle formations? Long Chen looked at Mu Qingyun and the others and said irritably.
As soon as Long Chen finished speaking, Li Cai and the others quickly set up their formation. After all, they had followed Long Chen the longest and reacted the fastest.
Only then did Luo Bing and Luo Ning react and hurriedly set up their formation. But compared to the Xiaoyao Alliance, Luo Men's side was clearly much more panicked.
After all, it was their first time facing demons, and they had never encountered demons before. The unique violent demonic blood energy on demons would impact a person's vitality, naturally triggering fear.
Long Chen shook his head silently. These disciples of the Immortal Realm had never even met the demon clan. From the fear deep in their eyes, it was clear their hearts were not strong.
If it were the Dragonblood Legion, these so-called demons would be nothing but a weak opponent before them, able to devour all sorts of tricks.
Not to mention ordinary disciples—even powerhouses like Luo Bing and Luo Ning had a trace of nervousness in their eyes. This was the gap—they were far from true powerhouses.
In contrast, Mu Qingyun was much better. Now, Mu Qingyun was increasingly possessing the mental qualities of a sword cultivator.
"Qingyun and Li Cai lead the way, Luo Bing and Luo Ning behind, Mu Xiu and Shui Xiu are in the center, and the archers set up high platforms.
When someone was injured, they returned to the formation center for treatment, while archers handled emergencies, providing support wherever pressure was high.
Killing the demons must be fast. We can't let them surround us and race against the demons..."
Long Chen's voice echoed in the air as Mu Qingyun, Luo Bing, and the others began to set up the formation according to Long Chen's plan.
Actually, it wasn't really a formation setup—just a simple combat formation. On one hand, these people hadn't been trained and couldn't set up any sophisticated formations.
On the other hand, Long Chen didn't know anything advanced about troop formations. Previously, Xia Chen was responsible for deploying formations in the Dragonblood Legion, and Long Chen only knew the basics.
However, what pleased Long Chen was that everyone executed the situation quite quickly. Perhaps because their lives were at stake, they didn't dare to slack off.
Soon, a simple platform dozens of zhang high, supported by eight long logs, was completed, and Long Chen was the first to jump onto it.
"Whose bow is better?"
Long Chen said to the archers who had also jumped onto the high platform.
"My golden silk six-string bow is a family heirloom spiritual artifact. Third Master, try it and see if it suits you." An archer hurriedly handed over his longbow.
Long Chen gripped his longbow and found it extremely heavy. It was indeed a very strong bow. With a gentle pull, the bow was like a full moon, runes swirling along its body, and it could automatically charge its power.
"Not bad,"
Long Chen took the arrow handed to him and shot it with graceful grace. The arrow shot like lightning, shooting straight toward the first demon to rush over a hundred miles away.
"Pfft!"
The arrow struck the demon's massive head directly, and the immense force shattered the demon's head instantly.
"Excellent archery!"
The dozen or so archers exclaimed in unison. Long Chen's arrow flowed like clouds and water, graceful and elegant, carrying endless agility. Only a master with decades of archery experience could shoot such an arrow.
Not only was the archer shocked, but even Mu Qingyun and the others were shocked. They had never seen Long Chen use a bow before, and they never expected him to be a sharpshooter. He was practically a monster—what could he possibly not know about in this world?
"If we weren't so close, I would have thought you were mocking me. Not only did the arrow miss, it was also strong." Long Chen curled his lips and said helplessly.
"Sss!"
Long Chen fired another arrow, but once more hit the demon's head, which instantly shattered.
"Puff puff puff... Long
Chen fired more than a dozen arrows in succession. Each one hit, and with each strike, one demon's head would surely shatter.
The archers wanted to cheer, but seeing Long Chen frown, he seemed very dissatisfied with his archery.
Their cheers could only be swallowed back with force. Luo Ning rolled her eyes: "If I weren't familiar with this guy, if it were someone else, I'd definitely think he was pretending on purpose." "
Ning'er, you're a girl. How can you say such foul things?" Luo Bing glared at Luo Ning. For this carefree younger sister, she was about to go crazy—her words were even more rude than any man's.
"Ssshhh"
At that moment, Long Chen suddenly shot an arrow. A distant demon shuddered and collapsed to the ground. Luo Ning and the others were shocked. A small hole appeared in the demon's forehead, and the arrow passed through its head, but it didn't shatter.
"Finally got the hang of it. Mo Nian, this trick is so simple. Luckily, I didn't fall for it or bet with him at the time. This kid is just too sinister." Long Chen let out a long sigh of relief.
When he picked up the longbow again, a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He slowly drew the bow, and an invisible spiritual power spread out.
"Cloud-Piercing Arrow!"
Long Chen shouted sharply, and suddenly the bowstring cracked, but no one saw the arrow fly out.
"Puff puff puff..."
In the end, the sound of flesh being pierced came from afar, blood light splattered, and more than a dozen demons collapsed in an instant.
Luo Bing and the others were stunned. They had never seen such terrifying archery before. After all, Long Chen was using ordinary arrows, wasn't he?
The archers beside Long Chen were so shocked they nearly popped their eyes out. As archers, nothing had shocked them more than this.
Because they were archers, they understood better than others the terror of Long Chen's arrow. He hadn't used much of his power, relying entirely on spiritual power. The moment the arrow was released, the ordinary arrow seemed to be given life, its power concentrated at the tip, carrying terrifying penetration.
"Mo Nian, this guy is only the first level of the Cloud-Piercing Arrow technique, and it's already so difficult. Yet he has reached the ninth level. He's simply a monster." Long Chen grew increasingly impressed by Mo Nian's archery.
Long Chen looked at the archers, who now revered him like a god. He smiled slightly and said,
"Being an archer is a very formidable profession. I learned some basic archery skills from a brother. If you want to learn, I can teach you."
"Really?" The archers were overjoyed.
"My tricks are nothing compared to true experts. When you get the chance, you meet someone named Mo Nian, and then you'll understand what a true sharpshooter is.
Alright, everyone, stay alert. The demon is here. For now, hold off this wave of attacks.
Warriors from the academy, today is the day we rise. The demons before us are the ladder of our glory. Draw our weapons, let our brilliance shine, and use our passion to witness our immortal youth. Let us fight with all our might! "
Long Chen's voice echoed across the sky, its power surging and instantly stirring the disciples' blood with excitement. The previous fear vanished in an instant, replaced by an overwhelming will to fight.
"Kill ...!"
The disciples of the two guilds shouted, drawing their weapons and charging at the demons.
"Hey, hey, hold your formation... Don't run around. Long Chen couldn't help but shout.
