Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts-Chapter 5752 The Start
Chapter 5752 The Start
Long Chen commanded, “Everyone, don’t panic! The four strongest among you take the four cardinal directions and lead a squad each. Your job is to cut down every devil expert in your path. The rest of you, follow closely behind! Just be careful not to attack your own. As long as the leaders charge fast enough, the four squads will form a whirlpool. No matter how many enemies come, they won’t be able to break through!”
“Will that actually work?” asked Luo Jiang.
“We’ll find out soon enough! Luo Ying, Qifeng, Wuyao, take command of a squad! The rest, stay in the center!” shouted Luo Yanfeng without hesitation.
Normally, their group was over eight thousand strong, divided into eight squads. But since Long Chen called for the four strongest to lead the charge, Luo Yanfeng immediately assigned the roles.
“Run!” shouted Long Chen.
With their positions set, Long Chen gave the order. The devil race’s army was closing in fast. If they hesitated any longer, they would lose their chance.
“Kill!”
With a collective battle cry, they charged over, their weapons slashing fiercely.
As the four squads dashed ahead with all their might, the battlefield transformed into a spinning vortex. The surrounding space twisted with the force of their charge.
In an instant, countless devil experts were shredded apart, their blood and flesh flung through the air.
The Luo family warriors quickly realized the brilliance of Long Chen’s strategy. As long as the squads continued to run like this, their formation functioned like an unstoppable meat grinder. The devils couldn’t break through the outer layer, meaning that the people inside were safe.
Luo Yanfeng and the others were astounded. Such a simple yet effective strategy had turned the tide of battle in their favor almost instantly.
As long as the four squads maintained their momentum, this formation could keep going indefinitely. The Luo family’s warriors adapted quickly. Their violet blood power ignited, and their weapons danced. Sword Qi and saber light tore through the air, reaping lives with every strike.
Some devils attempted to fly above them to go through the formation, but they were swiftly struck down by precise long-range attacks. For the moment, their formation was impenetrable.

With their confidence solidifying, the warriors found that these devil experts, though numerous, lacked actual firepower. The strongest among them were only nine-vein Heaven Saints.
Much like the violet blood race’s younger disciples, these devils had also grown up in protected environments. While their Blood Qi was strong, their actual combat ability was lacking compared to true battle-hardened experts.
Among the Luo family’s warriors, over three hundred were thirteen-vein Heaven Saints. That alone was enough to crush their enemies completely. However, both sides lacked real battlefield experience, so it was all too easy for them to panic on the battlefield. In that state, it would be difficult for them to even unleash fifty percent of their real power.
Without real combat experience, their reactions were slow, and a moment of hesitation could lead to death.
Fortunately, after they had withstood the first wave, their confidence grew. Their movements became more natural, and they fought with growing ferocity.
Seeing the shift in momentum, Long Chen shouted, “Big brother Yanfeng, start expanding our perimeter! Let our warriors push their attack radius to the limit. There’s no point in being on the defensive end!”
Without question, Luo Yanfeng did as Long Chen commanded. Instead of tightening their defensive ring, he started expanding their reach.
It was immediately clear that Luo Yanfeng had a natural grasp of battlefield control. He carefully adjusted their pace, ensuring they didn’t expand too fast or too slow. Watching him, Long Chen nodded in approval.
Some things could be taught, but battlefield awareness and leadership were innate talents.
Luo Yanfeng had little combat experience, yet he intuitively understood how to control the battle's rhythm. He had the makings of a great leader.
Following his example, the warriors adapted, and the whirlpool grew larger.
At first, the increased movement led to some confusion. They bumped into each other, hesitant with their attacks. But as they gained more space, their strikes became freer, more precise. They killed their enemies smoothly.
The whirlpool expanded rapidly. The devil army that had flooded toward the Luo family’s warriors was being wiped out at an alarming rate. Within the time it took for an incense stick to burn, their enemy’s numbers had been halved. Hundreds of thousands had perished.
After suffering such massive losses without gaining any ground, the devil army started to falter.
“Oh? In my experience, these types of devils have almost no intelligence. But they actually know fear?” Long Chen mused in surprise.
Long Chen had fought and slain countless devils. So, he had a great understanding of them. Their race functioned on a brutal hierarchy, with weaker ones serving as mere slaves or food for the stronger.
In war, low-tier devils were used as cannon fodder to probe enemy strength. Due to their lack of intelligence, they never feared death. Their mindless charge made them terrifying opponents.
Yet, these low-tier devils were visibly hesitating. Their morale was breaking. That realization sent a chill through Long Chen. It seemed that their higher-ups possessed shocking power and intellect.
Long Chen shouted, “The devils are afraid of us! Warriors of the Luo family, abandon the formation and fight freely! Even if they outnumber us, we are unstoppable! Cast aside your fear! Cast aside your mercy! True experts are not born; they are forged in battle! Use your weapons to sever their heads! Let the devil race’s blood paint the battlefield! That’s the proof of your heroism, the light of your path!”
Long Chen was naturally good at stirring up emotion, but these hot-blooded warriors were particularly easy to rouse. Their fighting spirits soared, as if they were possessed.
“Kill!”
With a roar, the Luo warriors charged forth like hungry beasts. Despite being outnumbered, they tore through the devil ranks with reckless abandon, as if each enemy had killed their parents.
Driven by Long Chen’s fiery words, they became unstoppable.
Seeing this scene, the devil army finally broke down and fled for their lives.
Luo Yanfeng stood amidst the carnage, his armor drenched in sticky devil blood. His broadsword gleamed, reflecting the madness in his eyes. This was the first time he had ever felt such exhilaration in battle.
“Big brother Yanfeng, you were incredible!” shouted Luo Jiang.
Luo Jiang stumbled over, panting heavily. He had fought hard, and though exhausted, he was elated by their victory.
Luo Yanfeng turned to face Luo Jiang with a smile, but then, his expression completely changed.
“Wait a minute... weren’t you supposed to be protecting Long Chen?!” asked Luo Yanfeng.
“Aiya!”
Luo Jiang slapped his leg, his face turning pale. In the heat of battle, he had completely forgotten his mission.
