Chapter 362

"Well done, stay to the side."

Hearing this, a look of excitement appeared on Bu Junjie's face, and he hurriedly stood to the side obediently.

And while Luo Chen was speaking, the Qi Refining cultivators of the Luo Tian Society had already walked out one after another.

Everyone glared with shared hatred at those surrounding the Luo Tian Society station.

Luo Chen looked over with a calm expression—two factions!

The one taking the lead was the Qu family, and the one watching with a smile in the back should be the Shenshui Sect that Duan Feng mentioned.

Both were vassals of the Ice Fortress, and both coveted the Luo Tian Society's station.

With Luo Chen's appearance, the surrounding atmosphere gradually quieted down.

Calm, yet tense!

"Bullying the weak with the strong, Fellow Daoist, you are being a bit shameless."

He said it calmly, but on the side of the Qu family cultivators, there was an uproar.

Qu Zhenbiao's face twitched; it was the first time he had been told to his face by so many people that he was shameless.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart.

He said with a fake smile, "Face has always been won by strength. This Fellow Daoist looks young and probably hasn't been cultivating for long, so you might not be very clear about the rules of the cultivation world!"

"Oh, are you trying to bully me for being young?" Luo Chen raised an eyebrow.

Qu Zhenbiao sneered, "It's not bullying you for being young, but spiritual land should be occupied by those capable. It was fine for your Luo Tian Society to occupy this place before, but now that one Foundation Establishment member has left, one is injured, and one is missing, occupying this place is a waste of resources."

Luo Chen shook his head slowly, "Whether it's a waste or not is not for you to decide; the Ice Fortress has its own judgment."

"What if the Ice Fortress doesn't judge it and lets us negotiate it ourselves?"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar.

This meant that the Qu family's desire to occupy the Luo Tian Society's spiritual land had already received the tacit approval of the cultivators from the great sect above.

Luo Chen was silent.

His gaze looked toward the huge ice palace towering in front.

Opposite him, Qu Zhenbiao sneered repeatedly.

And further back, the expressions of the Shenshui Sect cultivators changed slightly, and they looked at each other.

The Qu family seemed to have moved faster than them?

However, in this situation, how would the Luo Tian Society's new Foundation Establishment member respond?

Facing pair after pair of eyes, Luo Chen suddenly smiled.

"What if I don't want to negotiate?"

"What do you intend to do?"

"Robbery, or a fight to the death?"

Qu Zhenbiao was dumbfounded.

As if he hadn't heard clearly, he subconsciously asked, "What did you say?"

Luo Chen did not respond.

On the Qu family side, the cultivators were discussing heatedly.

"This new Foundation Establishment member of the Luo Tian Society is really shameless!"

"Sticking here shamelessly, does he really think others can't do anything to him?"

"If you don't have the virtue to match the position, you should give up the spiritual land!"

Hearing the discussion behind him, Qu Zhenbiao only then reacted.

He sneered, "It seems Fellow Daoist's face is really not ordinarily thick!"

"Not as thick as yours." Luo Chen shook his head, "After all, I couldn't do the petty act of bullying the weak with the strong in public and then making wild claims."

"You!"

This was the second time, old matters brought up again, his shortcomings exposed.

Qu Zhenbiao even felt some regret; he shouldn't have used that method to show his strength.

Taking a deep breath, he calmed down again.

"Does Fellow Daoist dare to announce your name?"

"I don't change my name when I go, I don't change my surname when I sit—Luo Chen of the Luo Tian Society!"

"Fellow Daoist Luo, right? I'll ask you today: are you going to yield or not!"

He said it decisively, looking like he was determined to win.

Little did he know, behind him, on the Shenshui Sect side, the expressions of two Foundation Establishment cultivators had changed.

"Luo Chen..."

"Could it be... Yes, that Qi Refining disciple addressed him as President."

"Let's not move; let's wait and see!"

Luo Chen glanced at the two of them without a trace, then looked at Qu Zhenbiao.

"If I don't yield, what do you intend to do?"

"If you want to start a war, aren't you afraid of being held accountable by Venerable Jueqing, who bestowed this place upon us?"

The words were spoken quickly and urgently.

Yet every word and every sentence pierced Qu Zhenbiao's heart.

His expression stiffened.

Fairy Jueqing was not on the Golden Sand Floating Island now.

Affected by the Yan Alliance's Jin Dan destroying the Seventh Mountain's array, the Four Sect Alliance had each dispatched a Jin Dan True Person to guard the Fifth and Sixth Mountains.

It was precisely because of this that he dared to come and cause trouble.

He wanted to present them with a fait accompli.

But if the other party resisted stubbornly, even if he forcibly occupied this place, once Venerable Jueqing returned, he would definitely be in big trouble.

Everyone knew that the Luo Tian Society had a close relationship with the Jueqing lineage.

It could even be said that the Luo Tian Society was the only vassal of the Jueqing lineage at present!

In short, he dared to offend them.

But he didn't dare to offend them to death.

"How is this guy's face so thick!"

"With so many people watching, he actually dares to justify occupying the latrine without defecating so righteously."

Qu Zhenbiao cursed inwardly, but for a moment, he really didn't dare to start a major conflict.

Just as he was in a dilemma.

The man opposite suddenly smiled.

"Of course, I admit my face is not as thick as yours, so I am willing to give you a chance."

"Your mother's face is the one that's thick!"

Enough is enough!

This time Qu Zhenbiao cursed out loud.

Luo Chen's expression turned cold, and he stopped talking nonsense.

"One move!"

"You and I will decide the outcome in one move. Life and death are up to heaven. The loser will roll as far away as possible and never appear in front of me again for the rest of their life!"

"Good brat, actually this arrogant!"

Qu Zhenbiao was furious.

Luo Chen sneered, and his whole body rode the wind and clouds, shooting straight into the sky.

His purpose was self-evident.

A battle in the sky!

Being watched by so many people, Qu Zhenbiao naturally couldn't be a coward, so he immediately chased after him.

Once in the sky, he was about to say a few more harsh words.

But he saw that in the other party's hand, a black-red long sword was already held.

His pupils shrank—a magic treasure!

It wasn't shock that the other party had a magic treasure, but that the other party took it out without hesitation, indicating that the other party really intended to kill.

At this moment, he quickly restrained all his anger and entered a combat state.

He also took out a magic treasure flying sword, clear blue and crystalline, as brilliant as ice.

"Then let's fight!"

Without the slightest hesitation, he mobilized the spiritual energy in his body, continuously pouring it into the flying sword.

Since it was agreed to be a one-move appointment.

Then there was no need for probing, and there was no back-and-forth or clever schemes.

What was being compared was pure strength!

And opposite him, the man held the long sword, not mobilizing spiritual energy, but instead dancing strangely.

It was as if he were writing, or perhaps engraving, with a wild posture, like a mad scholar splashing ink.

Such movements from the two of them.

Naturally, it couldn't be hidden from others.

On the Golden Sand Floating Island, clamor arose almost simultaneously.

Many cultivators walked out of their residences, craning their necks to watch this battle.

Especially some cultivators who had seen Luo Chen at the floating island's boat-docking area before.

They were even more shocked.

This Alchemist Danchenzi, fighting with someone as soon as he arrived.

Truly a fiery temper!

Where the Luo Tian Society station was located, the three parties all looked up, none of them daring to breathe loudly.

Only the two Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivators of the Shenshui Sect were secretly transmitting their voices.

"Is this Danchenzi too arrogant? He's just an alchemist; how dare he fight Qu Zhenbiao, who is at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment?"

"Junior Brother, the Qu family is far from Tianlan Immortal City, so it's fine if they don't know Luo Chen's capabilities. How can you be so ignorant?"

"Hmm, what do you mean?"

"Have you forgotten that before the name Danchenzi, Luo Chen had another Dao title!"

"Hiss, Fire Spirit Lord!"

By the Qinhua River, fire magic showed its power.

In that battle, Fire Spirit Lord didn't even use magic tools or magic treasures, but suppressed and killed three early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators and one mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator alone, and even suppressed countless cultivators on both sides of the green mountains, protecting the family left behind by his friend.

Such a person, how can he be seen as a weak alchemist who is not good at fighting?

Moreover!

The Shenshui Sect cultivators looked with fear at that black-red treasure sword.

Fire Spirit Lord has taken out a magic treasure; it can be seen that he really intends to kill!

Qu Zhenbiao has really kicked an iron plate this time!

Above the sky, everything was golden.

Qu Zhenbiao looked up suddenly at Luo Chen.

"Junior is too naive; releasing killing moves at each other, do you think this is a sect competition?"

With a low shout, the magic treasure flying sword in his hand broke through the air.

The sword light whistled, and the killing intent was biting.

But its power didn't seem very great.

He didn't condense a killing move at all, but instead wanted to interrupt the other party's activation of a magic treasure killing move.

If he succeeded, Luo Chen would definitely be injured by the backlash.

Regardless of life or death, the outcome would be decided.

Luo Chen would have lost!

Under his triumphant gaze, the flying sword had already reached one zhang in front of Luo Chen.

At such a distance, the other party was actually dazed and hadn't even activated a defensive magic tool.

"You have lost!"

The moment he released his declaration of victory.

A screen of azure glazed light instantly expanded.

There was no roar or explosion.

The unstoppable flying sword magic treasure suddenly became incomparably slow, as if it had fallen into a swamp.

In that screen of light, it crawled as slowly as a snail.

Seeing this scene, Qu Zhenbiao's expression changed drastically.

What kind of defensive magic was this, so perverted that it could even block a magic treasure flying sword.

Moreover, when did the other party activate it?

He didn't see him chanting or forming seals!

A talisman? An automatic protective magic treasure?

Just as he was astonished, a wheel of fiery red sun slowly rose amidst the sky full of yellow sand.

Accompanying it were those cold eyes.

"A clown, nothing more than you."

As the words fell.

The sun set!

That blazing sun emerged from the tip of the sword and exploded above Qu Zhenbiao's head.

Boom!!!

A powerful and peerless spiritual energy fluctuation erupted recklessly.

The raging high temperature seemed to want to burn everything in the world.

Even the void became distorted, as if shimmering with light.

The defensive magic tool that Qu Zhenbiao hurriedly took out didn't even block it for a single breath before it melted directly.

"Ah..."

A scream suddenly rang out.

And that terrifying explosive force fell upon him as if to destroy everything.

"Enough!"

A soft, feminine voice suddenly came.

Then.

Above the huge dark ice fortress, a stream of light flashed by.

The sky full of fire vanished in an instant.

Qu Zhenbiao, who luckily kept his life, was not having a good time.

His whole body fell downward like a kite with a broken string.

Large mouthfuls of blood were spat out from his mouth, even carrying sparks.

In the sky, Luo Chen reached out and took Qu Zhenbiao's magic treasure flying sword.

Watching this scene, his expression remained as calm as before.

It was as if he had known this scene would happen all along.

At this moment, he held the water and fire swords, his long black hair fluttering in the wind, his cold eyes overlooking the entire Golden Sand Floating Island.

Everyone's fearful gaze and shocked face were reflected in his eyes.

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort, he didn't even look at the still-living Qu Zhenbiao and descended straight to the Luo Tian Society station.

"President is mighty!"

"President is mighty!"

"President is mighty!"

Though there were only a few dozen people, the sound they made was like a mountain-shaking tsunami.

Luo Chen raised his hand to press down.

The Luo Tian Society cultivators stopped immediately, each looking at him with worshipful eyes.

Luo Chen turned around and looked at the group of Qu family cultivators, among whom were Foundation Establishment True Persons.

"Not leaving? Do you want me to invite you?"

The Qu family cultivators were shaken and subconsciously retreated.

But one of the Foundation Establishment True Persons took a step back, then stopped, gritting his teeth and saying, "I ask Fellow Daoist Luo to return my Qu family's Nine-Channel Spirit King Sword."

These words were spoken firmly, but to everyone's ears, they sounded like a plea.

Luo Chen casually performed a sword flourish.

The azure long sword hung before him.

"So this sword is named Nine-Channel Spirit King; it is indeed a good name, and a good sword."

"It's just a pity that the pearl is cast into darkness, and the precious sword is covered in dust."

"Your family head is not worthy of possessing this sword!"

"Get out, I won't see you off!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Qu family cultivators' faces turned blue and white.

Just now, in that battle in the sky, everyone saw it clearly.

It was agreed to be a one-move decision.

But their Qu family head insisted on playing clever, trying to interrupt the other party's condensation of a magic treasure killing move.

If he hadn't done that and they had mutually condensed their killing moves.

Even if he failed, he wouldn't have been defeated so miserably.

It was simply having no power to fight back.

If the Ice Fortress's Jin Dan True Person hadn't intervened, he probably wouldn't even have his life now.

"Precious sword covered in dust" was truly not a sarcastic remark.

But the family's precious sword falling into the hands of an outsider was something they absolutely could not accept.

They still wanted to say something.

However, when they saw Luo Chen's unfriendly gaze, the Foundation Establishment True Person who had dared to speak before closed his mouth.

He was silent as a cicada in winter, retreating continuously.

The Qu family cultivators retreated.

Luo Chen looked toward the Shenshui Sect side.

Before he could say anything.

The two mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Shenshui Sect both cupped their hands and performed an impeccable Dao salute.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Danchenzi! Xu Xiang pays his respects."

"Fire Spirit Lord is truly worthy of his reputation; Shenshui Sect Master Luo Jiangnan pays his respects."

Luo Chen twitched the corner of his mouth.

He knew the other party had come with ill intentions from the start.

But at this moment, one does not hit a smiling face.

Holding the two swords, he couldn't return the salute, so he could only speak.

"If there is leisure, we can have a small gathering."

The implication was that he had no time to be polite with them now.

The two from the Shenshui Sect were not annoyed and left with their disciples and followers with a smile.

Only then did the Luo Tian Society station become completely quiet.

Luo Chen dispersed his previous coldness and ruthlessness, and a warm smile like a spring breeze returned to his face.

"Everyone go back and rest!"

"Old Xu, count the injured; I will come to deal with them later."

After speaking, he entered the stone house.

After he left, the Luo Tian Society cultivators could no longer suppress the excitement in their hearts and began to discuss in groups.

Some more sentimental ones invited friends within the society to drink and talk.

Today's battle was truly exhilarating, sweeping away the recent decadence of the Luo Tian Society.

Inside the stone house!

Clang!

"Without the Chi Dragon Sword, there is still the Nine-Channel Spirit King; Yingzhang, do you like this sword?"
