Chapter 177: Luo Chen prepares for battle, the beast tide sweeps in, riding six dragons, a Tier 2 violent ape

"Are you sure? You want it all?"

Xiong Kun looked at Luo Chen with half-belief.

Beside them was Tian Xingzi, who was acting as the middleman.

The black market auction had already ended, and only the three of them remained in the hall.

Just moments ago, prompted by a voice transmission from Tian Xingzi, Xiong Kun had interrupted the auction of the beast carcass, saving it for last.

He wasn't afraid that Luo Chen wouldn't buy it; beast carcasses had always been in high demand anyway.

Even if Luo Chen didn't want it, Tian Xingzi, as the middleman, had the means to take it off his hands.

Either way, he wouldn't lose out.

The inexplicably agitated mood Luo Chen had felt earlier had already subsided.

Regarding this suddenly decided business of the beast carcass, he also began to calculate the gains and losses.

A Tier 2 beast, and relatively well-preserved.

He wondered what methods this person had used to hunt down such a beast.

If he bought it, he could use it as the main ingredient for the Emperor's Dew.

After all, the requirements for the main ingredient of the Emperor's Dew were very specific.

It required the blood, flesh, and bones of a beast of the same origin; if there was a beast core, that would be even better.

He walked around the edge of the carcass, using his spiritual sense from time to time to check its specific condition.

As he looked, he picked and chose.

"The most valuable flaming cloud wings have been ruined on one side by you; the value of this beast is greatly reduced!"

"The flesh is well-preserved, but the beast core has been over-exerted, and the beast power it contains is nearly non-existent."

After speaking, he looked at Xiong Kun.

"Senior, the two most valuable materials of this beast have been messed up like this; I'm afraid I can't give you the price you want!"

Xiong Kun snorted coldly, "Do you think just anyone can hunt down a flying beast?"

"Not to mention anything else, just the name 'Flaming Cloud Roc' is worth five thousand spirit stones."

"Besides, I haven't removed a single one of the many materials on it; that's worth another five thousand!"

Was he dead set on ten thousand spirit stones and refusing to budge?

Luo Chen felt helpless; he had only researched the recipe for the Emperor's Dew to about seventy or eighty percent.

His water-based alchemy was still a bit short of being considered introductory, stuck at the hurdle of the Cloud-Transforming Hand.

Even if he got his hands on this, he couldn't immediately refine the Emperor's Dew.

Xiong Kun also recognized Luo Chen; last time, he had joined forces with another person to buy his incomplete cultivation technique.

He sneered and transmitted his voice, "Aren't you just trying to take this beast to practice that incomplete Heavenly Roc Transformation?"

"Ten thousand spirit stones is not a loss at all!"

Luo Chen was stunned; he really hadn't thought in that direction.

He smiled bitterly, "But it's really too expensive. To put it bluntly, this is a dead Tier 2 beast. Its value should be estimated as Tier 2 materials. Ten thousand spirit stones is the entry-level price for a magic treasure."

The prices of Tier 2 materials have always fluctuated wildly.

For example, elixirs start at three to five hundred.

For example, medicinal herbs are also at this price, depending on their efficacy. Even a breakthrough miracle like the Heaven and Earth Root only had a premium of up to five thousand.

The prices of ores often depend on volume.

This beast carcass had damage to its two most valuable materials.

Ten thousand was really excessive.

Xiong Kun frowned; he had intended to pin Luo Chen down.

But it seemed the other party didn't have the intention of being determined to get it!

After some back and forth, both sides were stuck here.

At this moment, Tian Xingzi, the middleman, acted as a lubricant.

"Little friend, the price of five thousand is indeed low. After all, this is a resource that Fellow Daoist Xiong risked his life to earn."

Luo Chen nodded; he acknowledged this point.

Any material obtained by going into the mountains and risking one's life to hunt beasts is worth a high price.

Tian Xingzi paused and looked at Xiong Kun.

"But the price of ten thousand is indeed something few people can afford. Otherwise, Fellow Daoist Xiong, you wouldn't have wanted to turn my auction into a slaughterhouse just now!"

Once these words were spoken, it left Xiong Kun unable to save face.

When he was auctioning earlier, he really had that intention.

With such a large carcass, it was indeed difficult to handle without purchases from large sect shops like the Zhongding family, Lingyuan Pavilion, Lingyao Pavilion, or Wanbao Tower.

Just now, his auction plan was to cut off a piece for whoever wanted what material on the spot.

If that scene had actually been implemented, the Zhenlong Black Market auction hall would have instantly turned into a bloody slaughterhouse.

Seeing this, Tian Xingzi immediately struck while the iron was hot.

"Even if I were to take this item, it would take a long time to convert it into spirit stones."

"If there are any twists and turns in the middle, I'm afraid this price won't satisfy you, Fellow Daoist."

"Since that's the case, why not both sides take a step back, agree on a lump-sum price, and both go home satisfied?"

Seeing that both were moved.

He smiled slightly, "In my opinion, eight thousand is a very good number, very auspicious."

Xiong Kun hesitated; two thousand were gone just like that.

For a rogue cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage like him, this was not a small amount.

He was not like other Foundation Establishment cultivators in Dahe Square who had influence, families, or specialized skills.

His cultivation resources were all earned by hunting beasts himself.

It was truly earning money with his life.

But Tian Xingzi was also right; rather than selling it bit by bit, it was better to close the deal at a lump-sum price.

Although the profit was a bit less, the time saved could be devoted to cultivation.

"Eight thousand it is; this junior is willing to concede profit."

Luo Chen said with a pained expression.

Xiong Kun also reluctantly agreed.

After all, Tian Xingzi and Luo Chen had given him face.

One went from five thousand to eight thousand, giving three thousand more. He dropped from ten thousand to eight thousand, conceding two thousand.

Face had been given invisibly in the process.

After the money and goods were exchanged, Luo Chen didn't stay long and immediately bid farewell.

Leaving only Xiong Kun and Tian Xingzi in the hall.

After seeing Luo Chen leave, Xiong Kun cautiously asked, "Fellow Daoist, you said earlier that if there were any twists and turns in the middle. Could it be that something is going to happen recently?"

Regarding this question, Tian Xingzi avoided talking about it.

Instead, he asked with a smile, "Regarding joining our side, I wonder how Fellow Daoist Xiong has considered it?"

Xiong Kun hesitated.

After a long time, he firmly shook his head.

"No, Xiong is used to being a free spirit. Although life is a bit bitter, it's better because there aren't so many rules and regulations."

Tian Xingzi didn't force it, "Since that's the case, I respect your choice, Fellow Daoist. Even if I am not here in the future, you can still use my token to trade at any Zhenlong Black Market."

This was giving Xiong Kun a trading channel.

Xiong Kun bowed gratefully.

Before leaving, he asked curiously, "Fellow Daoist, when are you leaving?"

Tian Xingzi sighed, "Soon, soon!"

Under the night sky, a figure rose into the air at super speed.

A black cloud suddenly appeared, supporting him, and thus moved away from the ground.

The rogue cultivators who were still waiting outside, seeing this scene, also dismissed the idea of killing and robbing for treasure.

Although that figure seemed to have only Qi Refining stage spiritual power fluctuations, this method of riding the clouds was something only a true Foundation Establishment cultivator could do.

No one dared to provoke a true Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Above the black cloud, Luo Chen's heart was thumping.

Not because he had spent eight thousand high-priced spirit stones to buy a beast carcass.

But because in his previous exchange with Tian Xingzi, he had almost exposed the other party's background.

"Falling Cloud Smoke-Generating Method."

"Can be a sect inheritance."

"Such a method, how could it be common goods easily obtained? It is clearly the alchemy of the Falling Cloud Sect!"

Just before, in his exchange with Tian Xingzi.

It should have been mutual flattery, but he had a flash of inspiration and thought of this point.

If it were just an unfounded association, that would be fine.

But Luo Chen's thinking had been agile recently, not like the usual clouded spiritual platform.

At that moment, almost in an instant, he thought of the various unreasonable aspects of the Zhenlong Black Market.

Spreading across various markets, chain operations.

Often selling puppets, and even a combat-type puppet comparable to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining had appeared.

This is not a treasure that can be obtained just by having wide paths and many channels.

Because in the Yuding Domain, only the Falling Cloud Sect can produce combat-type puppets, and they have always refused to sell them externally.

If the Zhenlong Black Market is an industry of the Falling Cloud Sect, then everything makes sense.

And that grey-robed Golden Core cultivator who crazily released three Ghost Kings.

This is not something one would dare to do just because of an extreme personality.

Ghost Kings are extremely violent beings; once they break free, they won't care who did them a favor.

But that grey-robed Golden Core cultivator did just that, and even drove the Ghost Kings to surround and kill the sword cultivator Pang Renxiong.

How could an ordinary Golden Core cultivator achieve this?

But if it were the Falling Cloud Sect's puppet techniques, and it had been planned for a long time, it wouldn't be difficult to achieve this.

It was just treating the three Ghost Kings as puppets to be driven!

It was only after figuring all this out that Luo Chen felt his scalp tingle.

He didn't dare to think what would happen if he had exposed the other party's background on the spot.

Would Tian Xingzi kill him to silence him?

Therefore, he quickly changed the subject and did not continue the topic.

A beast carcass business worth eight thousand spirit stones should be enough to make the other party ignore his strangeness at that time, right?

At least, judging from the fact that he left the Zhenlong Black Market unscathed.

Tian Xingzi did not notice this.

"It's hard to say; such a calculating person might have already noticed my clues."

"If so, then not taking action is because of the Blood-Burning Pill business."

"Blood-Burning Pill... Blood-Burning Pill."

Luo Chen licked his lips, and some of the mist covering his heart faintly dissipated.

This kind of elixir can be considered a trump card for Qi Refining cultivators.

But for a true Foundation Establishment cultivator, it's nothing.

Yet Tian Xingzi valued the Blood-Burning Pill so much, and even purchased it in large quantities.

Its purpose is self-evident.

"It's definitely not buying low and selling high to earn the difference. In another place, the Blood-Burning Pill might not sell for a high price."

"He bought it clearly for the Falling Cloud Sect behind him."

"Then why does the Falling Cloud Sect need so many Blood-Burning Pills?"

Gulp!

There was a clear swallowing motion at his Adam's apple.

Luo Chen faintly thought of a word.

"War!"

The biting wind hitting his face made Luo Chen feel cold inside.

He had always been wondering why the Zhenlong Black Market dared to surround and kill Pang Renxiong.

This is tantamount to declaring war on the Yuding Sword Sect.

But he didn't expect that the other party had already been preparing for war.

Black markets spread all over the place, collecting spirit stones and various resources on a large scale.

This is clearly resource hoarding work before the outbreak of war.

Even the sect's puppets were taken out for sale.

It can be seen that the Falling Cloud Sect has already made all preparations.

"But how dare they challenge the local hegemon?"

Suddenly, Luo Chen thought of a rumor.

When he first met Qin Liangchen and his wife, they were sending their son Xiaohu to participate in the Falling Cloud Sect's apprentice ceremony.

They once mentioned that the Falling Cloud Sect's Supreme Elder Han Zhan had the potential of a Nascent Soul.

Could it be that he has really broken through?

That's why they have the confidence to go against the Yuding Sword Sect?

If so, it makes perfect sense.

A domain, although rich in resources, is difficult to support two Nascent Soul sects.

When the Yuding Sword Sect started the pioneering war, it was also because they could not continue to develop in their original territory.

Now, the Falling Cloud Sect seems to have reached this situation too.

And with their strength, a pioneering war is probably not feasible.

In the absence of external expansion, they can only compete for hegemony internally.

"I don't know if my guess is right or wrong."

Luo Chen smiled bitterly; he only knew that in the trend of such a great era, he, a mere ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator, could only drift with the tide.

But, he had finally established a stable foundation with great difficulty.

Who would want to drift with the tide?

He didn't want to end up like Xiong Kun, a rogue cultivator who relied on hunting beasts to make a living.

"Forget it!"

"Thinking too much about this is useless."

"The top priority is still cultivation, to break through to Foundation Establishment as soon as possible."

"With the Luo Tian Association, even if a war really breaks out, I have enough buffer to calmly make various choices."

Sighing, Luo Chen rode the black cloud, made a circle, and flew towards the Luo Tian Association.

In the cold night, the black cloud moved slowly.

It was inconspicuous, and even if a cultivator looked up, they wouldn't notice it.

It didn't take long for Luo Chen to return to outside the Xieyue Valley.

However, before he landed, his heart tightened.

"This is going to destroy my foundation!"

The moonlight poured down like mercury.

Outside the Xieyue Valley, a five-colored light screen had already unfolded.

The thick stench, the beast roars one after another, everything declared that the Luo Tian Association had ushered in the biggest crisis since its founding.

Beast tide!

Half an hour ago.

Sima Huiniang, who had just finished her cultivation, was preparing to sleep when she was hurriedly called up by Yuan Xiaoyue.

"President, a large number of beasts have been found gathering nearby!"

Looking at the anxious little girl, Sima Huiniang was shocked, but she remained calm and steady on the surface.

She put on her coat while walking out.

"What is the specific situation?"

Yuan Xiaoyue was a helper specially arranged for her by Luo Chen, responsible for running errands and conveying some news for her.

Although this move had a flavor of supervision, it also meant letting her take care of this girl more.

Under the influence of Sima Huiniang, Yuan Xiaoyue also calmed down.

"The beasts were discovered by the cultivators responsible for night patrol in the Battle Hall."

"Basically, they all came from the Guyuan Mountain Range, mainly ape-type beasts."

"Currently, Law Enforcement Elder Zhou Yuanli is leading people to build a defense line. The Battle Hall has already been notified."

Sima Huiniang's footsteps paused.

She turned around and frowned, "Beasts from the Guyuan Mountain Range?"

You know, the Xieyue Valley is adjacent to the Xiaoyue Mountain Range and backed by the Huiye Mountain.

The beasts there are mostly grey-leaf demon wolves.

How could ape-type beasts appear for no reason?

The nearest large mountain to the Guyuan Mountain Range is called Zhouyi Mountain, where many ape-type beasts are indeed entrenched.

But it is far away, hundreds of miles away.

Why did those beasts travel a long distance to get here?

Yuan Xiaoyue was ignorant.

Sima Huiniang shook her head, knowing that the other party didn't know much.

She immediately walked out and issued a task at the same time.

"Summon the elders of the four halls."

"Ask Duan Feng to preside over the Small Five Elements Array, and use the reserve medium-grade spirit stones at critical moments to stimulate the full power of the array."

"Finally, notify the President!"

After issuing the order, Yuan Xiaoyue ran out immediately.

Sima Huiniang rubbed her eyebrows, feeling very puzzled.

Although the Xieyue Valley is isolated from the Dahe Market, it rarely encounters beast attacks.

Encountering it today, although rare, was also within the association's contingency plan.

However, beasts from Zhouyi Mountain?

In her confusion, she soon arrived at a watchtower.

Zhou Yuanli was giving orders on it, sending people to build a defensive line.

The two nodded tacitly, and Sima Huiniang then used her spiritual eye technique to look outside.

I saw scattered violent apes, golden-bright spirit monkeys, green-rock monkeys, and other beasts appearing outside the city wall.

The number was not large, just a dozen or so scattered around.

However, Sima Huiniang's heart sank.

Usually, these beasts would not gather together.

Clearly, there are high-level beasts controlling them as vanguards to attack the Xieyue Valley.

"How many beasts are behind?" Sima Huiniang asked immediately.

Zhou Yuanli said in a deep voice, "According to the scouts' report, there are at least a hundred, or even two or three hundred."

Hearing this number, Sima Huiniang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this can only be considered a small beast tide.

In the history of Dahe Market, such small beast tides are countless.

Moreover, they often occur in the winter season.

Judging from the current weather, it's not very strange.

However, Sima Huiniang also knew not to be careless.

After all, the number of cultivators in the Xieyue Valley is barely a hundred.

There are only thirty or fifty cultivators suitable for battle.

"Notify the Battle Hall to move out in full."

"The other three halls, as long as they are late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, all participate in the battle!"

"Yes, by the President's order!"

Zhou Yuanli bowed and immediately sent someone to convey this order.

Although he has the nominal position of Law Enforcement Elder, he cannot mobilize all the cultivators in the halls.

Only Sima Huiniang, as the President personally appointed by President Luo Chen, has the power to make decisions in times of crisis and command the overall situation.

The order was issued for less than a while, and the Xieyue Valley was brightly lit.

One after another, escape lights flashed into the night sky.

Seeing that almost everyone was there.

Sima Huiniang issued another order, "Elder Duan Feng, lead people to preside over the formation."

"Elder Zhou, you are suitable for battle formation command, this place is now handed over to you. If you have any needs, tell me directly, all cultivators of the Luo Tian Association will cooperate with you."

Zhou Yuanli nodded and took on this task without hesitation.

On the watchtower, he used his spiritual power to expand his voice and began to give orders.

Taking advantage of the fact that the beast tide had not gathered, he directly sent small teams of cultivators to go and strangle those vanguard beasts.

Under the dark night, the slaughter began.

With teams of cultivators and cooperation.

The scattered beasts were no match at all.

As the magic tools circled and flew, they often brought up large splashes of blood.

The stench became more and more intense.

Sima Huiniang stood behind, holding a magic tool, ready to deal with the beasts that rushed in at any time.

She looked around, her brows slightly frowned.

"Haven't the President and Hall Master Wang Yuan come out yet?"

Liu Qiang shook his head, "The formation in the President's room is always on, and there is no response to the voice transmission talisman."

"As for Hall Master Wang Yuan's side..."

Just as his words hadn't fallen, Zhou Yuanli's sharp shout suddenly sounded on the watchtower.

"The beast tide is coming, everyone be careful!"

"Cultivators outside, all come back, defend according to the formation!"

In an instant, the cultivators who were still wandering and hunting outside flew back like swallows returning to their nests.

Landing on the tall city wall, everyone was nervous.

Thanks to the Battle of the Fu Family, having seen the defensive power of the Fu Family's fortress, the Luo Tian Association also followed suit and expanded the city wall.

Built along the mountain, with the valley as the center.

For the means of cultivators, this is not difficult.

The only thing missing is the means of the Fu Family's fortress to integrate talismans into it.

But the Luo Tian Association also has a set of Small Five Elements top-grade formations.

In a short time, even true Foundation Establishment cultivators can resist one or two.

It is precisely because of this that the cultivators of the Luo Tian Association's Battle Hall are not very panicked.

However, as they watched the number of beasts outside increasing, everyone's heart began to drum.

One hundred!

Two hundred!

Three hundred!

Under the night, the sound of apes screaming became more and more urgent.

Later, there was a feeling of mountain calls and tsunami, ten thousand heads roaring.

Although they knew that there was only a small beast tide scale of two or three hundred outside, they couldn't stand the fear brought by the soaring demonic energy!

For a time, many cultivators cast their eyes on Zhou Yuanli and Sima Huiniang.

One is responsible for battle formation command, and the other is the President who has the power to make decisions on the direction of the Luo Tian Association.

Zhou Yuanli tightened his face, showing no fear at all.

He had seen this situation before.

It was just a battle.

Sima Huiniang's face was a bit pale; she had only been a lone operator before, where had she seen such a battle.

If it were before, she would definitely have run away with her eldest brother and third brother without hesitation.

But now, she is the President of the Luo Tian Association.

In those sects, she is the role of the Sect Master.

How can she flee in the face of battle?

Taking a deep breath, Sima Huiniang said in a deep voice, "Everyone, prepare for battle!"

"Behind us is the Luo Tian Association, with the construction results of our past six months, and the families who rely on us."

"This battle, we must not retreat!"

Hearing this, the cultivators looked at each other.

There were still some people who were thinking of retreating.

Although the beast tide is terrible, it is only a scale of two or three hundred.

If they flee in all directions and run towards the shanty area, the casualties will not be very large.

Sima Huiniang felt this atmosphere almost instantly.

She flew into mid-air and looked down at the cultivators.

"Are you willing to abandon this foundation that was built with great difficulty?"

"Run? Where can you run to?"

"President Luo Chen gives you such a high salary every month, is it just to give you the strength to run away at critical moments?"

"I tell you, after leaving the Luo Tian Association, there is no force outside that will give you such good treatment."

"I won't say much nonsense."

"I'll just say one thing! In this battle, every beast killed can count as one merit point! Five merit points can be exchanged for two hundred spirit stones. Ten merit points can be exchanged for spells from the Merit Hall. If there are more than twenty, a top-grade magic tool will be rewarded directly!"

As soon as the last sentence came out, the crowd was surging.

Twenty beasts can be exchanged for a top-grade magic tool!

In the small beast tide outside, there are many weak Tier 1 beasts.

Most of this batch are late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, and they are not very afraid.

For a time, everyone's eyes turned red.

The ones outside don't seem like beasts, but pieces of spirit stones and magic tools!

Morale was finally raised.

Sima Huiniang felt relieved in her heart.

After all, it's not a sect or family force, and the cohesion is completely insufficient.

When disaster strikes, everyone wants to run away.

The so-called construction results and the so-called family bonds are all empty words.

Only interest binding can drive the cultivators.

"Hall Master Murong, I'll trouble you to calculate the merits later."

Murong Qinglian was stunned. Does this mean she is not allowed to fight?

Qin Liangchen next to her squeezed her little hand.

She nodded immediately.

Everything was ready.

The beast tide outside had already reached the city walls.

So!

"Fight!"

With Zhou Yuanli's order, all late-stage Qi Refining cultivators of the Luo Tian Association, led by the Battle Hall, participated in the battle.

"Kill!"

The flying sword crisscrossed, and in the vast beast tide, it instantly killed a weak violent ape.

The cultivator who succeeded showed a ferocious smile.

Low-level beasts are actually not strong.

Without a strong physique, most of them cannot fly, their attack methods are mediocre, let alone wisdom and tactics.

It was difficult to kill before, just because the beasts were in the deep mountains and marshes.

The terrain is complex and hard to guard against.

Plus, wantonly slaughtering beasts can easily provoke high-level beast generals and beast kings.

Therefore, the beast business is not easy to do.

Only the equally numerous and powerful Poshan Gang can have a stable hunting channel.

But now, the beasts are coming out of the mountains to attack the Luo Tian Association.

It's simply looking for death!

Lang Mu looked at the beasts below and felt that the opportunity to get rich today had really come.

He had experienced the battle of the destruction of the Poshan Gang and the battle of attacking the Fu Family.

It's a pity that his luck has always been bad, and he hasn't gotten any good things.

Unexpectedly, after coming to the Luo Tian Association, he actually encountered such a good opportunity.

"This is the third one, let me show my skills... hiss!"

Lang Mu's face changed instantly, and his eyes fell to the side.

Under the moonlight, a nimble figure rose from the ground and tore a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator who was using the Wind-Riding Technique in the air into two halves.

Golden-bright spirit monkey!

A rare intelligent beast.

As the blood rain fell, Lang Mu, who was excited, shivered suddenly.

He looked around and realized that the battle situation was extremely unfavorable for the Luo Tian Association.

There were too many beasts.

The number of three hundred didn't seem like much.

However, the number of cultivators in the Luo Tian Association who could fight was even more pitifully small.

Counting them all, there were only fifty.

In just a short while of fighting, six or seven late-stage Qi Refining cultivators had died.

"No, I have to retreat and defend the city!"

Lang Mu felt cold in his heart and subconsciously wanted to turn back.

However, just as he was about to turn around, a huge rock flew through the air.

He subconsciously opened his medium-grade defensive magic tool, but the immense force instantly blew his magic tool to pieces.

Not only that, the huge rock hit the city wall formation.

Making the Small Five Elements Array flicker with spiritual light, showing signs of instability.

Before dying, Lang Mu looked at the huge beast running from the wilderness in disbelief.

"Tier 2... how is it possible..."

Flesh and blood, accompanied by bones, fell down with a clatter.

Stimulating many beasts to roar constantly.

Beast nature made them attack the formation regardless of everything.

Originally, the Battle Hall cultivators who dared to fight outside could only retreat step by step.

Especially the huge running sound coming from the wilderness completely changed everyone's face.

"Tier 2 violent ape!"

"Don't let it get close to the formation!"

Sima Huiniang's voice sounded sharply, almost with a sense of heartbreak.

However, facing a Tier 2 beast, who would dare to attack?

At this moment, Sima Huiniang was almost desperate.

Once a Tier 2 beast appears, it is still a violent ape known for its irritable temper and powerful combat strength.

The Luo Tian Association is afraid it will be gone.

Is she, the President who has just taken office for a short time, also going to finish?

"Duan Feng, Sima Xian, come with me!"

On the city wall, Qin Liangchen held a golden melon giant hammer, his face ferocious.

Duan Feng stood with his sword without hesitation.

Sima Xian hesitated slightly, his eyes fell on his second sister Sima Huiniang, but saw that her expression was trance-like.

"Forget it, it's not easy to have a stable place for cultivation, how can it be destroyed in one day."

"My path is hopeless, but my second sister has finally been valued, I must fight to save the Luo Tian Association for her!"

Sima Xian no longer hesitated, responded to Qin Liangchen's call, and rose into the air.

Three figures, erupting with spiritual power, swept across the beast herd, and were about to rush towards the violent ape running wildly.

Hearing her eldest brother's name earlier, Sima Huiniang woke up from her trance instantly.

"No, it's not enough to rely on the three of them!"

With a thought, she immediately roared, "Where are Zeng Wen and Wen Jie!"

Before the two could answer, a low shout came from the air.

"No need for them."

The next moment, a violent burst of energy erupted from the Xieyue Valley.

Immediately, a bloody figure under the night sky broke through the air like an arrow off a string.

In the blink of an eye, it surpassed Qin Liangchen and the three.

"Go back, guard the Xieyue Valley!"

Qin Liangchen and the three were stunned.

"It's Hall Master Wang!" Duan Feng immediately recognized whose voice it was.

"Can he do it?" Sima Xian's face was hesitant.

Blocking a Tier 2 beast with the power of one person, and it is still a Tier 2 violent ape known for its powerful combat strength.

This is not something a Qi Refining cultivator can do.

Qin Liangchen looked at the figure falling like a meteorite and gritted his teeth.

"Let's go back, the Xieyue Valley needs us more!"

Before turning back, he took a hurried glance.

But he saw that on the wilderness, two figures, also erupting with burning red light, had already fought together.

One figure was tall, five or six feet, worthy of standing upright.

One figure was only about seven feet, but the momentum erupted was no less than the other.

"Has he become so powerful?"

Muttering to himself, the three joined the battle outside the valley without hesitation.

At this moment, without Duan Feng presiding over the formation, the power of the Small Five Elements Array had been greatly weakened.

Even if Zhou Yuanli forcibly supplemented a large number of spirit stones, it was still not well taken care of.

Many small beasts had already rushed into the valley.

Fortunately, Granny Yuan and Gu Caiyi took action, and with the help of a group of mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators, they strangled them one by one.

"There are too many, when will this killing end!"

Sima Huiniang turned around in the vast beast tide and threw out a talisman.

The violent explosion immediately blew two green-rock monkeys into bloody pulp.

But the beasts were thick-skinned and fleshy, just shook, and continued to attack other nearby cultivators.

"Be careful!"

A reminder came from her ear, and Sima Huiniang herself was also paying attention to the battle situation nearby.

Immediately without hesitation, she unfolded a water shield.

Bang!

The immense force immediately knocked her back dozens of meters.

A violent ape, a foot tall, was violently beating its chest.

A Tier 1 peak beast!

This size and this momentum were already no less than a Great Perfection Qi Refining cultivator.

After the lingering fear, Sima Huiniang hurriedly pulled away and flew into the sky.

However, the violent ape seemed to have targeted her.

It grabbed a beast carcass beside it and threw it as a weapon.

"Break!"

A delicate shout came from beside her, and a flying sword immediately crossed, cutting the carcass into dozens of pieces.

It was Murong Qinglian who helped.

"Thank you!" Sima Huiniang breathed a sigh of relief.

Murong Qinglian's face was as gloomy as water, "This won't work."

Sima Huiniang was also not optimistic, "The number of beasts is several times ours, if this continues, even if we win, we will suffer heavy losses."

If casualties exceed two-thirds, the Luo Tian Association can be said to exist in name only.

"Where is the President?"

Sima Huiniang launched attacks one after another, but her mouth was asking about Luo Chen's whereabouts.

At such a critical moment, Luo Chen did not appear.

You can't let everyone fight for the Luo Tian Association, and you sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor in the back!

"Did he run away?"

"He is not that kind of person!"

Murong Qinglian immediately shouted back.

Sima Huiniang was stunned.

Why did she react so strongly?

Just as she was puzzled, a black cloud made a sharp whistling sound and fell from the sky.

Accompanying this were countless extremely sharp sounds of breaking through the air.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Outside the Xieyue Valley, in the beast tide.

Dozens of cultivators were in a bloody battle, and they felt that the pressure was getting greater and greater.

There were fewer and fewer companions they could rely on.

Once spiritual power is exhausted and they fall into the beast tide, it is a death.

Even if they are in the air, they must guard against beasts jumping up and pouncing, or the bombardment of gravel and giant wood.

But if this continues, it will sooner or later be a defeat.

Where is the President?

When the situation became more and more dangerous, they, like Sima Huiniang, couldn't help but ask the same question.

Why didn't the President take action?

And this question was soon answered.

A figure, surrounded by ten fist-sized fireballs, swept into the beast tide like a storm.

Accompanying it was a rainstorm-like five-colored stone bead.

Large splashes of stone beads fell like raindrops.

Wherever it passed, the beasts erupted with clusters of blood flowers.

Before the beasts could go violent, the fireball technique beside that figure flew out.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Violent explosions sounded constantly.

Every explosion meant the death of one or more beasts.

At this moment, it was just like a farmer harvesting rice.

But that one was harvesting lives!

Suddenly, the figure stopped by the city wall.

And wherever he passed, it was clearly a bloody road paved with blood and bones.

"President!"

"It's the President!"

"The President has taken action!"

Cheers sounded instantly.

Luo Chen didn't respond.

His eyes fell on the wilderness in the distance, where the vast roar was constantly erupting.

"This place must be resolved quickly!"

"Everyone, all retreat!"

With a light shout, Luo Chen spat out a sword pill from his mouth without hesitation.

The cultivators of the Luo Tian Association who were fighting heard this and hurriedly forced back the beasts in front of them at all costs.

They flew into the sky, their expressions panicked.

Why did the President ask us to retreat?

While everyone was surprised.

The sword pill grew with the wind and turned into light in an instant.

Dozens of sword lights suddenly differentiated.

"Go!"

Luo Chen pointed like a sword, and the Great Perfection manipulation technique allowed the dozens of sword lights to fall into the beast tide like a sword energy tornado.

So what if the beasts are thick-skinned and fleshy?

The sword pill was produced by the Yuding Sword Sect, and the previous owner was a true Foundation Establishment cultivator who had nurtured it with spiritual power for decades.

Even if the grade cannot be promoted now, it still does not lose its sharpness.

As the sword energy tornado entered the beast tide, it achieved huge results in almost the blink of an eye.

Dozens of beasts were strangled into blood foam without any resistance.

Three tall violent apes roared constantly and rushed towards Luo Chen aggressively.

However, Luo Chen sneered coldly and turned his sword finger again.

The sword energy tornado changed again!

A condensed giant sword slashed down under the moonlight.

Its speed is fast, its edge is sharp.

The violent ape at the head, comparable to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, was slashed into two sections with almost no resistance.

The other two were stunned when they saw this.

Then they made a wailing sound and turned around.

Ran away!

Luo Chen didn't chase, after all, these were just low-level beasts brought by the Tier 2 beast general.

The binding force is not strong.

Especially since that Tier 2 violent ape was entangled by Wang Yuan and could not command them at all.

So these low-level beasts only fought by instinct.

"Everyone, take action together and kill the remaining beasts."

Luo Chen reached out and grabbed, and the sword pill turned into a three-foot green blade, falling into his hand.

The long sword pointed diagonally downwards.

Then, there was a loud promise!

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

From beginning to end, Luo Chen took action three times in total.

Rushing in violently from outside the beast tide with fireball technique and jade marrow waste beads.

Defeating the largest beast herd with sword energy tornado.

Forcibly killing the Tier 1 peak beast with giant sword technique.

But these three actions all achieved huge results.

Stimulated by him, the low morale of the Luo Tian Association rose several times.

The escape lights crisscrossed, and they began to strangle the remaining ape-type beasts that had not had time to escape.

There were also people like Duan Feng and Zeng Wen walking among them.

Every time they took action, they must have gains.

Seeing this scene, Luo Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

"President!"

A hoarse female voice came from his ear. Luo Chen turned his head and saw Sima Huiniang walking to his side with guilt.

"Sorry, I did too poorly."

Luo Chen waved his hand, "It's not time for rewards and punishments yet, we'll talk about pleading guilty later."

Sima Huiniang was stunned, and followed Luo Chen's gaze to the wilderness in the distance.

The Tier 2 beast general is not dead, it is indeed not the time.

"You go and cooperate with Zhou Yuanli to mobilize cultivators to participate in the battle."

"The Small Five Elements formation can be turned off, let the mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators in the valley come out to see blood."

Luo Chen ordered.

Sima Huiniang did not linger and immediately went to gather people according to the order.

After she left, Murong Qinglian approached.

"Do we need to support Hall Master Wang's side?"

Luo Chen's eyes flickered, looking at the battlefield ten miles away.

After a few breaths, he shook his head, "Handle this side first, they don't need your help over there."

"Uh..."

Ignoring Murong Qinglian's confusion, Luo Chen flew onto the city wall.

The jade marrow waste beads in his hand fell like raindrops.

Every time it hit a beast, it made an explosion.

Although the power is not great, it is enough to disrupt the beast's movements.

Some weak beasts died on the spot.

The stronger ones also died in an instant under the siege of other cultivators.

Before long, as Sima Huiniang joined the battlefield with a group of mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators from the Xieyue Valley, the situation stabilized completely.

Unsurprisingly, the next step is a thorough slaughter.

Until this moment, Luo Chen was completely relieved.

"Then, only that Tier 2 violent ape is left!"

Luo Chen moved his mind and put away the sword pill.

In an instant, a green flag slipped from his hand.

"Out!"

With a low shout, three green wood dragons, accompanied by cracking sounds, circled out from the city wall.

Luo Chen's expression remained unchanged, and his spiritual power surged.

Cooperating with the superb magic tool manipulation technique, he summoned three green wood dragons again.

If this scene were seen by that Great Perfection Qi Refining Qiu Bai, he would be shocked to drop his chin.

The Great Perfection of Qi Refining tried his best to barely stimulate six wood dragons.

But Luo Chen summoned six easily.

Looking at his spare energy, I'm afraid he could summon one or two more.

Luo Chen stepped on his feet and landed on the head of the green spiritual dragon in the first position.

"This place is handed over to you."

"No one is allowed to approach the wilderness battlefield!"

After speaking, he stepped on the wood dragon, rode the six dragons, and broke through the air.

And in the battlefield, many cultivators were extremely excited.

The President is going to join forces with Hall Master Wang of the Battle Hall to strangle the Tier 2 violent ape!

In the crowd, Sima Huiniang's expression was uncertain.

Younger brother Sima Wenjie approached, equally surprised.

"Eldest brother was right, this top-grade magic tool is really on the President!"

Green Musk Dragon-Gathering Flag, can control six dragons.

It also has the function of releasing green musk fragrance to hinder the operation of cultivators' spiritual power.

Although it is not known for powerful attacks, it is flexible and changeable.

Even among top-grade magic tools, it is a leader.

Sima Huiniang muttered, "Then in this way, the one who saved us in the third alley of the North Street was really the President."

Younger brother Wenjie nodded repeatedly, "It can't be wrong! And the stone bead hidden weapon used when the President appeared just now is clearly the means to break Liu Han's formation."

When Luo Chen appeared just now, he smashed thousands of jade marrow waste beads.

This means has become Luo Chen's trademark.

Sima Wenjie is not stupid, and soon inquired about the news from others.

During the battle in the North Street, the eldest brother was on the verge of death, and the second sister was also seriously injured, only he was the most conscious.

If the eldest brother Sima Xian could not be sure during the previous battle of the Fu Family.

Then this time, he could confirm a hundred or a thousand times that it was Luo Chen who saved them.

In his ears was the sound of his younger brother, and in his eyes was the back that went away.

Sima Huiniang bit her lip, her expression complex, and her thoughts surged in her heart.

Then, she turned back suddenly.

"Don't delay, solve these beasts quickly, to prevent small people from taking advantage of the fire!"

"Brother Wang, you still practiced that blood cultivation method!"

Luo Chen stepped on the dragon, his eyes fell on the battlefield in the wilderness.

One person and one ape, without avoiding, every time it was a fist and foot impact.

The surging blood energy permeated the surroundings, almost to the point of making people unable to breathe.

The ten-mile radius is now full of pits and bumps, and the earth is cracked.

If it is said that the Tier 2 violent ape has this destructive power, it is not surprising.

After all, it is a Tier 2 beast known for its destructive power.

Among ape-type beasts, it is also a top-ranked existence.

The reason why the Blood-Burning Pill refined by Luo Chen has such explosive power is mainly because it uses the blood of the violent ape as the main ingredient.

But the destructive power shown by Wang Yuan at this moment is unusual.

Strands of bloody giant pythons spewed out from him.

Every punch is accompanied by a bloody giant python.

The powerful and unparalleled power is difficult for even Tier 2 beasts to contend with.

At this moment, the battle situation between the two shows a five-to-five situation.

"Is this the power of the second realm of body refining?"

"Or is it the weird power shown by integrating blood path means?"

Luo Chen could feel that Wang Yuan was not only not at a disadvantage, but his momentum was rising with the battle.

Those bloody giant pythons hit the violent ape, and as long as there was any residue, they would gnaw on the flesh of the violent ape.

And through small snakes, feedback and supplement to Wang Yuan.

Such an in-and-out, the growth and decline, just built Wang Yuan's prestige of fighting more and more fiercely.

"Happy!"

"So happy!"

"Luo Chen, you don't need to intervene, I can clean up this beast."

However, facing Wang Yuan's request to fight, Luo Chen refused decisively.

"Don't fall in love with the battle, to prevent others from peeping."

Wang Yuan in the battle frowned.

But soon, he figured out the truth.

His absorption and tolerance of the blood path have not yet reached perfection.

The combat methods shown now have too much bloodiness.

If seen by righteous people, they will definitely shout and kill.

At that time, he is very likely to be wanted by the sect and become a street mouse that cannot be seen.

"Forget it, you come!"

Luo Chen nodded slightly and stepped on his feet.

The giant dragon under his crotch flew away like shaking its head and tail.

Without hard collision, six wood dragons circled on the periphery, constantly emitting green musk fragrance.

Wang Yuan had already received Luo Chen's instructions to use secret methods to control himself from absorbing a large amount of green musk fragrance.

Even if a small amount of green musk poison fragrance entered his body through pores and skin, it was instantly dissolved by the surging blood energy.

But the Tier 2 violent ape did not have this wisdom.

"Roar!"

Sensing that a third party was intervening, it became more and more irritable.

The palm the size of a millstone kept shooting out.

Wang Yuan did not avoid it, rushing into the sky again and again, taking these attacks hard.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Violent vibrations sounded constantly.

Luo Chen was just manipulating the Green Musk Dragon-Gathering Flag outside, and could feel the physical collision produced by every collision.

"The second realm of body refining is so powerful. Judging purely by physique, it is completely no less than the body of a beast!"

"I don't know what kind of strange changes the third realm of body refining mentioned by Brother Wang will have, and it can even induce the growth of lifespan."

"I have been insisting on the use of Peiyuan Spirit Liquid and Gold-Quality Jade Liquid, plus spiritual energy quenching, what is the gap between my physique and them now?"

Although thoughts were racing through his mind, his hands did not slacken in the slightest.

Under the onslaught of the six wooden pythons, the explosive ape's momentum withered rapidly in just a few dozen breaths.

Having absorbed too much green musk poison, its demonic power could no longer circulate freely.

Its movements grew increasingly sluggish, and its attacks became weaker and weaker.

It seemed to have sensed a life-or-death crisis.

The explosive ape let out a roar, and rings of fiery red light suddenly erupted from its body, one after another.

"Careful, it's going to fight to the death."

Wang Yuan gave a word of warning, yet he advanced instead of retreating.

As he sprinted forward, he pressed his fingers together like a fist, leaving only his thumbs protruding.

Under the gaze of Luo Chen's Spirit Eye Technique, Wang Yuan used his thumbs to strike twelve major acupuncture points on his body with lightning speed.

"Are these the twelve superior points of the Spirit-Clearing Evil-Breaking technique?"

Vaguely, Luo Chen grasped everything about it.

The next moment, Wang Yuan's physique suddenly surged in size.

Previously, at two meters tall, he had been at the level of a normal person.

But as his thumbs stimulated the points, his body continued to swell, quickly reaching a height of one zhang.

Moreover, there was no sign of it stopping.

One zhang, one and a half zhang.

Finally, it settled at around five meters; he was truly a small giant.

His hemp clothes burst apart, revealing large swaths of muscle that looked like knotted dragon-tree roots, coiled upon that diamond-like physique.

Beneath the diamond-like physique, bones as white as jade were faintly visible.

As he sprinted forward, there was even a sense of a great river surging.

That was blood, heavy as lead and mercury, constantly erupting with power within him.

"Is this the explosive power needed to go head-to-head with a Tier 2 demonic beast?"

Luo Chen's brows were tightly furrowed; he discovered that once Wang Yuan entered a combat state, his entire personality underwent a massive change.

In normal times, he had never shown such a fanatical state.

"Roar!"

"Die!"

The beast's roar and the man's fury erupted almost simultaneously.

Under Luo Chen's gaze, the two made physical contact in an instant.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

A dense series of booming sounds erupted continuously.

The speed was so fast that even with his Great Perfection Spirit Eye Technique, Luo Chen could barely capture it.

This was different from the grand, thousand-mile-spanning attacks of Core Formation cultivators.

Instead, every punch and kick condensed power to the absolute limit.

An ordinary person could not withstand a single punch.

Even in Luo Chen's view, a Foundation Establishment cultivator would be in trouble if they took one or two hits.

"However, the outcome is decided!"

As Luo Chen muttered to himself, the situation on the field suddenly became clear.

Wang Yuan pressed one hand against the massive explosive ape, his palm, as large as a fan, striking seven times in succession.

Seven-Fold Mountain!

Boom!

The energy, condensed to the extreme, erupted seven times in a row, with each strike stronger than the last.

In an instant, it was as if seven great mountains were pressing down from above.

The explosive ape's body was hit as if by a heavy blow, and it retreated continuously.

One step, two steps... seven steps!

After seven steps, it knelt on the ground, its entire body a bloody mess.

There was even a large hole in its chest.

"Won?"

"No, it still has strength left!"

Wang Yuan's low shout rang in his ears.

Luo Chen looked closely and saw a demonic core flying out from the explosive ape's chest.

A destructive aura suddenly emerged.

And the explosive ape's body kept shrinking, soon becoming less than two zhang tall.

Without even looking at the two, it ran toward the deep mountains and ancient forests without looking back.

"Trying to run?"

Luo Chen sneered; he wasn't just standing by to watch the show.

His moon-white dharma robe fluttered without wind.

Clouds and mist rose beneath his feet, and he flew into the high sky in an instant.

The great flag in his hand waved continuously, as if trying to shake down the galaxy from the sky.

As he waved it, the six wood-attribute pythons roared and flew out from different positions, quickly catching up to the explosive ape.

Boom! Boom!

The first two exploded instantly.

Interrupting the explosive ape's escape.

The remaining four directly wrapped around the explosive ape's limbs.

A large amount of green musk poison was exhaled, almost dyeing that entire area green.

As the green musk scent was exhaled, the bodies of the four wood-attribute pythons grew thinner and smaller.

In the end, they turned into nothingness.

And the explosive ape lay on the ground, unconscious.

Only then did Luo Chen have time to look at the ground.

Unexpectedly, that demonic core had not successfully self-detonated.

Hundreds of dense little snakes, like red threads, had wrapped around the demonic core layer by layer.

Wang Yuan, having shrunk his size, grabbed the demonic core with one hand, looked up at Luo Chen, and grinned.

"Stop grinning, can you put some clothes on!"

Luo Chen scolded, too lazy to look at the naked man, and headed straight for the explosive ape.

He hadn't killed this guy!

This meant that he and Wang Yuan had captured this Tier 2 demonic beast alive.
