After chatting for a while longer, as the night deepened, everyone waited in silence, and Jiang Chen simply leaned against a tree to feign sleep.

"They're coming!" Suddenly, Jiang Chen opened his eyes, looking in one direction of the dense forest.

Rustle! Rustle! Rustle!

Chen Jiantao and the others quickly chambered bullets, their faces set in serious expressions as a hint of anticipation shone in their eyes—it was time for Long Ya to show its style, to prove the strength of Long Yan.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

More than a dozen figures burst out of the dense forest, lining up in front of Jiang Chen and the others.

"Blood Kylin? You really did join forces with Long Yan! However..."

The leader of the Fallen Angels' Paladin Knights glanced at the forest behind Jiang Chen and his group, and mocked, "It seems you've known about this for some time, haven't you? What are you planning? Do you think the eight of you, plus those less than a thousand in the woods, can actually hold us back?"

"The brothers in the woods don't need to take action—we are enough!" Jiang Chen responded indifferently, then shouted, "You can go to the Fallen Angels' stronghold now!"

Thump! Thump! Thump!

A series of footsteps came from behind the woods where Jiang Chen and the others were, growing fainter in the distance.

"Hmph! Planning to ambush our stronghold?" A cold snort sounded as one of the Fallen Angels' Paladin Knights leaped towards the direction where the members of the Long Yan and Dragon Soul Mercenary Corps had gone.

"Stay put!" Xuan Long bellowed, stepping forward and blocking that person's path.

"Let's kill them first, then it won't be too late to chase!" The head of the Fallen Angels spoke coldly, and the other fourteen Paladin Knights charged towards Jiang Chen and his allies.

"Dragon King, I hope your decision to hold them back was the right one." Blood Kylin shouted worriedly, charging at the Fallen Angels' leader and another person beside him, "Mo'er Si, Di Jiade, let's have some fun."

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Xing Fei, Mo Bao, Azure Dragon, and others also surged forward, leaving aside Jiang Chen, seven people working together to hold back eleven enemies, which was one more than they had anticipated.

Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback and said with a laugh, "Are you giving me a break? Alright then!"

Clang!

Blood Saber unsheathed, Jiang Chen looked at the four Fallen Angels' Paladin Knights charging towards him and grinned, "I only need two, you all coming at me, how am I supposed to train my troops?"

Swish!

Jiang Chen's figure flashed, and he was instantly in front of the four men, shouting lowly, "Second Style of Blood Dance Dharmic Heaven, Bloody Moon Fall!"

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Bloody Radiance descended, and a bloody crescent slashed out, causing the four Fallen Angels' Paladin Knights to change their expressions dramatically.

Slash!

The Blood Moon flew by, and two of the Fallen Angels' Paladin Knights turned into a mist of blood, directly absorbed by the Blood Moon.

Jiang Chen glanced at the other two astounded Paladin Knights, smiled slightly, and with a sweep of the Blood Saber, sent the Blood Moon flying towards Xing Fei's opponent.

"Fei'er, switch!" Jiang Chen called out softly.

Upon hearing this, Xing Fei immediately turned and ran towards one of the three attacking Blood Kylin, without even glancing at her own opponent.

Her opponent's face darkened, feeling insulted, he raised his hand to strike at the back of Xing Fei's head.

Swish!

The bloody crescent suddenly appeared in front of the opponent. The person's face registered shock, and just as he attempted to dodge, the bloody crescent exploded violently, turning into a radiance of blood.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

With the appearance of the Bloody Radiance, Xing Fei's opponent exploded into pieces, scattering chunks of flesh all around.

Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback and murmured softly, "Is the limit three attacks? It shouldn't be, or maybe my strength is just not enough!"

Clasping his fist, Jiang Chen turned to look at the two Paladin Knights who were stunned. The eruption of the Blood Moon made them come to their senses, and they quickly retreated more than ten meters away, keeping their distance from Jiang Chen and looking at him as if he were a monster.

"Leave it to you guys!" Jiang Chen waved his hand toward Chen Jiantao and the others.

Ratatat!

Tatatat!

Whiz whiz!

Two Snowflake Blockades appeared, enveloping the two retreating Paladin Knights.

Jiang Chen watched for a while, then smiled slightly and turned his attention to the battlefield of the Kylin and others.

Realizing that Xing Fei had taken one of his opponents away, the Kylin sighed in relief. Fighting one against three was really too much pressure for him.

Suddenly thinking of something, the Kylin urgently said, "Why did you come? After you deal with your opponent, go help the Dragon King!"

"The Dragon King doesn't need my help!" the Snake Woman replied, furiously attacking her new opponent.

In that moment, gunfire erupted. The Kylin and the others glanced over with the corners of their eyes at Chen Jiantao and his team. They then saw Jiang Chen, who was leaning against a tree and watching them.

What's going on? Why is he idle?

"Mu Da, Ta Li, Xiu'er Si, where are you?" Mo'er Si, realizing they were three men short, shouted loudly.

Although their earlier clash was brief, it was extremely perilous, and everyone focused intently on their own opponents, without the spare attention to notice others. They only saw the flash of bloody light with the corner of their eyes but didn't realize that Jiang Chen had already killed three people!

"Stop shouting, they've all gone to meet your Lucifer. Blood Squad Leader, I managed to fight one against three, so keep it up!" Jiang Chen called out casually, lounging against the tree as he watched the ongoing battles.

"What?"

The Kylin and the others were all taken aback, looking at Jiang Chen incredulously. Thankfully, Mo'er Si and his men were also surprised. Otherwise, during this distraction, the Kylin and the others might have been in trouble.

"Ah!"

"Uh!"

Two screams rang out, surprising the others. Xuan Long and Xing Fei, however, weren't surprised. When they sensed the Bloody Radiance, they knew Jiang Chen had made a big move. The moment they noticed their opponents were distracted, they immediately took the chance and viciously twisted their opponents' necks!

In a high-stakes duel, victory often hinges on the slightest of errors.

Awakened by the screams, the Kylin and others hastily re-engaged with their opponents. With Xuan Long and his partner now free, they took over for the Kylin and Azure Dragon, each facing a new opponent.

At this point in the fight, aside from the Mo Bao siblings facing four opponents, all the battles were one-on-one.

Xuan Long and his partner did not support the Mo Bao trio because they could tell that the trio's cooperation had reached a perfect understanding, managing three against four with ease. In such a situation, of course, it made sense to attend to other opponents.

The Mo Bao siblings were aware of this logic and bore no grudges, instead hoping that Xuan Long and the others would leave them to their fight. They had come to pledge allegiance, and if Jiang Chen's side had been weaker, that would have been one thing; but now, without them noticing, Jiang Chen had slain three Paladin Knights, causing a tremor of fear in the brothers' hearts.

Fuck! Is the Dragon King this powerful?

We actually thought to seize control of the Mercenary Corps from such a formidable being? He spared us, which is already giving the Mo Bao a lot of face!

No, since we've come to pledge loyalty, we must achieve something noteworthy. Otherwise, with the Dragon King's strength, he's sure to look down on us.

With this mindset, the Mo Bao trio fought with renewed ferocity, attacking madly and even abandoning much of their defense!
