Divine Seal: From a Heavy Sword to Slicing Through the Holy Demon Continent

Long Haoyu felt relieved. Although he was crazy and wanted to kill the demons here, he wouldn't gamble with other people's lives.

For example, causing a disturbance in the demon territory and ultimately forcing the alliance warriors stationed in the area to defend passively, resulting in their sacrifice, is something he does not want to see.

Now that everything is in place, with Long Xingyu secretly following behind, once things get out of hand, someone will naturally have to clean up the mess.

This charming old father would not stand idly by and watch him and Long Haochen perish at this time, nor would he allow the demons to launch an attack on the garrison area after their commotion.

They could have easily retreated unscathed after completing the assessment, as long as the inspector didn't save their lives and allow them to return to their post.

If they follow this whole process, then even if they exploited a loophole in the rules this time, it doesn't count as violating the assessment regulations.

As soon as Long Haoyu finished speaking about this plan that wasn't really a plan, Li Xin was instantly silenced.

Not only her, but Lin Jialu and the others also fell silent, completely unable to keep up with Long Haoyu's unconventional arrangements.

Among the group, only Long Haochen remained calm, showing no surprise at his brother's arrangement.

This arrangement is more in line with my brother's style of doing things. If it were changed, it wouldn't seem like my brother at all.

Meanwhile, the old man who had been secretly observing Long Haoyu and his group of six almost lost control of his magic and exposed himself.

Waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump is not as good as taking the initiative. What kind of battle plan is this? Is this kid really that reckless?

After confirming that he hadn't misheard, the old man's expression became somewhat uneasy. He suddenly felt immense pressure, as if the burden on his shoulders had become much heavier.

He sensed that this assessment was about to become very complicated and that things were about to get very serious.

Chapter 87 The Real Long Haoyu

"Little brother, are you serious?" Li Xin slowly came back to her senses and asked with some surprise.

Lin Jialu, along with the Chen brothers, Chen Si and Chen Chen, all stared at Long Haoyu, sharing the same doubts as Li Xin.

"Brother Haoyu, we're currently in the Demon Clan's territory, and there are only six of us. Is it appropriate for us to take the initiative to attack..."

Lin Jialu thought for a moment and said, "If we go deeper into the heart of the demon realm, we can get more demons to help us complete our mission targets."

"But at that time, we were essentially risking our lives. It wasn't that we were afraid of dying there, but wasn't that a bit too reckless?"

Li Xin, unusually, did not argue with Lin Jialu about this matter, and she also agreed with Lin Jialu's analysis.

As soon as Lin Jialu finished speaking, she immediately added, "Little brother, we need to think carefully about taking the initiative. Besides, we may not have been discovered yet. We can take our time and do things slowly over three days."

puff--

The bandages on the bladeless arm were instantly removed.

White bandages fluttered in front of everyone's eyes.

Long Haoyu, clutching the bandages, appeared behind Lin Jialu like a ghost and thrust his sword into the ground.

With a dull thud, blood splattered from beneath the soil, and a dead Luke tribesman appeared before everyone's eyes.

"The reason I made these battle arrangements is because we were discovered long ago."

Long Haoyu said in a deep voice, "We are now caught in a trap set by the demons."

Lin Jialu was startled, her face turning pale instantly. Looking at the dead Luke clan member beside her, she could imagine what would happen to her, a fragile mage, if the Luke clan suddenly launched an attack.

Everyone was awakened. The Chen brothers, Chen Chen and Chen Si, drew their weapons, and Li Xin followed suit, drawing her two heavy swords.

Long Haochen flashed forward and immediately appeared in front of the group, tightening his grip on his heavy sword and shield as he cautiously looked around.

Puff puff--

At that moment, sharp spikes emerged from the ground.

Each spike was about 1.5 meters long, and they were all purplish-black, with a faint black aura swirling around them.

At the same time, figures of the Luk tribe, each with four spiked arms, appeared in front of the group.

"Brother, he's from the Luke tribe!"

"I'll go draw their fire for you!"

Long Haochen gave a soft shout and made a move to rush out. He remembered very well the role he played in the team as a guardian knight.

Draw fire to create the best offensive space for your teammates, while healing them during lulls in the fire.

Long Haoyu was the strongest Retribution Knight present, so the task of charging into battle would definitely fall to him, and Long Haochen's idea was very straightforward.

From beginning to end, he wanted to uphold that idea: he wanted to be his brother's striker and create the best attacking space for him.

"stop!"

Long Haoyu's voice lowered.

With a soft shout, Long Haochen, who was about to make a move, was immediately stopped.

"Haochen, you are the guardian knight."

"Protecting your teammates is your top priority!"

"Besides me, you are the strongest in our team. You need to understand the responsibility on your shoulders!"

"You, along with Haoyue, must provide comprehensive protection and treatment for Sister Xin'er and the others!"

Long Haochen regained consciousness and continued to stand in front of Li Xin and the others, watching the dozens of Luke tribesmen gathering around them in a surrounding formation.

"Sister Xin'er, let's make a move!"

Long Haochen shouted, unleashing all the low-level Guardian Knight skills: Spirit Shield, Faith Aura, and Guardian's Blessing, along with two other group skills to assist the group.

Not only that, but he also unleashed the combined power of Light's Vengeance and Light Slash Sword, protecting the enemy while launching attacks whenever the opportunity arose.

Li Xin and the Chen brothers, Chen Si and Chen Chen, didn't sit idle. Maintaining their formation, they all started to make their moves.

Seeing the Luke people surrounding her, Lin Jialu began to chant a magic spell in a low voice.

One after another, ice spears gleaming with a blue light shot into the sky, then fell towards the attacking Luke tribe.

The look of madness on Long Haoyu's face vanished in an instant. As he watched Long Haochen and the others begin to attack the Luke tribe, the bladeless sword in his hand trembled incessantly.

The little lump of coal, which had transformed into a wristband wrapped between Long Haoyu's wrist and the hilt of his sword, muttered softly, "Master, these Luke tribesmen are almost all killed. Aren't we going to make a move?"

"These Luke tribesmen are at most equivalent to the second tier in strength. It would be more practical to kill magical beasts in the Bright Moon Swamp than to attack them."

Long Haoyu replied in a deep voice: "If we're going to make a move, we'll definitely have to pick the big guy to take on."

The words fall.

Long Haoyu, who had said he wouldn't make a move, suddenly darted out.

A figure suddenly appeared beside Long Haochen, and Long Haochen was immediately enveloped in a layer of golden light, a spiritual light shield.

Long Haoyu pressed one hand down on the Earth Demon Clan member that had sprung up from the ground, slamming it hard into the ground.

"Brother!" Long Haochen called softly.

Long Haoyu ruthlessly snapped the necks of the local horde, grinned, and said, "Focus on dealing with these Luke tribes. I'll keep an eye on the others."

"Don't forget what my brother once said: if a Retribution Knight puts his teammates in danger, he might as well go home and raise pigs."

"Your brother doesn't want to go back to raising pigs just yet!"

Long Haochen smiled shyly and quickly threw himself back into the battle against the Luke tribe.

Among the five, Long Haochen's strength has increased to the level of a tenth-level Grand Knight in the last six months.

Li Xin's strength has also reached the fourth rank, level nine, including Lin Jialu and the brothers Chen Si and Chen Chen, who are also at the fourth rank.

Against the Luke tribe, whose strength was only comparable to that of the second tier, it was a complete one-sided crushing defeat.

With the occasional magical assistance from Haoyue, in just a short while, all twenty-odd Luke tribesmen lay dead here, the stench of blood filling the land.

Since it was their first time fighting against the demons, Li Xin and the others didn't look too good. Only Long Haochen, who was fighting for the second time, was much calmer.

"The demon territory is really not simple. We didn't encounter any demons at first, but now we've suddenly run into twenty Luke people."

"If we count, we've already killed twenty-one demons. We only need four more to complete this assessment."

Li Xin exhaled a heavy breath, still immersed in the battle as she looked at the corpses of the Luke tribe lying there.

"Don't let your guard down!"

"Now that we've been exposed, the demons will definitely continue to send powerful warriors to surround and kill us!"

Long Haoyu's timely reminder made everyone's hearts, which hadn't even had time to settle down, jump back up again.

Standing next to Long Haoyu, Long Haochen suddenly whispered, "Brother, now that we've been discovered, why don't we retreat slowly towards the garrison area? If we've already been discovered, wouldn't it be better for us to continue our offensive?"

"I believe that, as Dad has said before, we should take better care of our own lives so that we can face more battles in the future!"

As he spoke, Long Haochen looked at Li Xin and the others, eager to continue fighting alongside Long Haoyu.

However, considering the potential dangers, he still dared not act rashly.

Long Haoyu smiled slightly and said, "Haochen, from the moment we were discovered, we couldn't leave. If you don't believe me, ask Sister Jialu."

Long Haochen looked at Lin Jialu suspiciously, and everyone else looked at Lin Jialu as well, noticing that Lin Jialu's expression suddenly became serious.

"Haoyu is right, we really can't leave."

"Another reinforcement has caught up with us; it's the Emerald Twin-Blade Demon of the Zelin Clan!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions immediately turned serious again. The Zelin Clan's Emerald Twin Blade Demon was a fifth-tier powerhouse, and a demon known for its prowess in offense, defense, and speed.

At this moment, they all understood what Long Haoyu meant. With such a emerald-green twin-bladed demon chasing them, they had no way of guaranteeing that they wouldn't be caught up during their retreat back to their garrison area.

"Brother, should we attack that emerald-green twin-sword demon that's chasing us?" Long Haochen asked.

Long Haoyu nodded: "If you are not capable enough and encounter a strong enemy, retreating is the best option."

"But if you have the ability, retreating is not the wisest choice, especially when you have no other option but to retreat!"

"So we can kill this Emerald Twin Blade Demon!"

Long Haoyu spoke in a very calm tone.

At first glance, he still looks the same as before.

But upon closer inspection, Li Xin and the others noticed a change in Long Haoyu's demeanor.

Long Haoyu, who had only made two moves in the face of the Luke tribe's attack, seemed to have undergone a complete transformation in his demeanor.

Excitement began to surge through Long Haoyu, but beneath the excitement seemed to be a hint of terror.
