Chapter 374: Mountain Collapse Breaks the Array, Exterminating Yan Leizi, Ku Chan's Grudge, Underground Gate

"Who comes?"

Yan Leizi's expression was uncertain, and he roared.

Luo Chen paused slightly, his gaze falling on the strangely shaped concave valley.

Trap-Empty Valley!

Wang Yuan was inside.

He smiled slightly, "Luo Chen of the Luo Tian Society, greetings to Fellow Daoist Yan Leizi!"

Luo Tian Society?

Yan Leizi was stunned, then reacted.

Wang Yuan was the Hall Master of the Transmission Hall of the Luo Tian Society, and it was said he had a deep relationship with the President, Luo Chen, being a close friend who had supported each other since their humble beginnings.

"You came for Wang Yuan?"

Yan Leizi said, while taking a small hammer from his storage bag.

Luo Chen's gaze fell on the small hammer.

"Exactly! Why not open the array, and let's shake hands and make peace?"

"You are the president of a society, how can you be so naive?" Yan Leizi sneered, "Don't you know that Wang Yuan and Ku Chan have the grudge of a murdered son, and it is a situation of life and death!"

Grudge of a murdered son?

Luo Chen was stunned.

Just at this moment, the small hammer in Yan Leizi's hand erupted with wisps of thunder-fire light.

"I have always heard that the President of the Luo Tian Society has exquisite fire techniques and is known as the Fire Spirit Lord. Besides being proficient in thunder techniques, I also have some insights into fire-type spells. Fellow Daoist, why not give me some pointers?"

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow.

Then, he nodded.

"Since that is the case, I will satisfy you!"

"Just right, I also want to..."

Just as he was halfway through his sentence, Yan Leizi's mind shook, and his soul felt like it was fleeing.

He watched the long sword in Luo Chen's hand opposite him slowly raise high into the sky.

And the earthquake on the ground before, following his movements, also stopped inexplicably.

At this moment, how could he not know that the opponent had already secretly accumulated a spell.

"Despicable!"

He roared, smashed a hammer into the void, and a bolt of lightning rushed toward Luo Chen.

Facing this strike, Luo Chen turned a blind eye.

He took a deep breath and mobilized all his spiritual power into the Profound Xuan Xuan Huo Jian.

The next moment!

The long sword slashed down fiercely!

Boom!

From stillness to motion, a deafening sound erupted in an instant.

Yan Leizi knew it was bad and steered his flying sword toward the high sky.

However, everything seemed to be too late.

A huge wave of air came like a mountain collapsing and a sea overturning.

Yan Leizi's figure was like a broken ball, rushed into the high sky.

Layers of silver-white defensive light shields continuously emanated from his body.

And were continuously washed away and shaken by that terrifying air wave, even dissipated.

In this way, until the remaining power gradually faded, his figure finally barely stopped.

"Puff!"

A large mouthful of blood could no longer be suppressed and was spat out as he bent over and coughed.

He looked down, his eyes filled with horror.

The mountain had collapsed!

The mountain rock layers surrounding the Trap-Empty Valley for five miles had all collapsed together!

Endless might converged with the Thunder Prison Array as the center.

The most dazzling eruption had already passed.

At this moment.

One could only see streams of surging magma gathering from all directions, flowing toward the buried Trap-Empty Valley.

Gulp!

Visibly, Yan Leizi's throat moved.

He said hoarsely: "What spell is this?"

Luo Chen smiled slightly, standing still, letting the scorching aura rush toward his face.

What spell?

Naturally, it was the second-tier top-grade fire-type attack spell—Mountain Collapse!

Moreover, although it was named second-tier.

Luo Chen had cultivated the three prerequisite techniques to Great Perfection, and this Mountain Collapse spell had also been cultivated to Great Perfection.

Coupled with the Profound Xuan Xuan Huo Jian's amplification of fire techniques.

The might of this spell had long since exceeded the second tier, not weaker than a third-tier attack spell!

It could even be said that ordinary third-tier spells could not reach his level of destructive power.

If he had deliberately targeted Yan Leizi.

At the moment of that mountain collapse, he could have exterminated him!

Even with a defensive magic treasure, the terrifying shaking and collapsing force could have shaken him to death alive.

However.

Luo Chen had another target, and Yan Leizi was only injured by the remaining power.

Yan Leizi naturally understood this too.

He was not the main target.

But even so, it had caused him serious injury; it was hard to imagine what the consequences would be if it were specifically targeted at him.

Under his questioning.

Luo Chen did not answer him.

Instead, he looked down in surprise at the mountain range beneath his feet.

The Ninth Mountain was truly peculiar!

He had secretly prepared for a long time and urged it to the limit, yet he could only destroy a portion of the mountain body.

But even so.

It could be considered to have achieved his goal.

Mountain collapse and ground sinking, the external environment changed, and there were endless explosions and shaking.

The Thunder Prison Array was broken!

Among the three inside, he didn't know if the other two could survive.

But Wang Yuan would definitely be able to survive.

This was his absolute trust in Wang Yuan!

Then now...

Luo Chen pursed his lips, his smile faded, he looked up, and his piercing gaze fell on Yan Leizi.

Although the angle was looking up from low to high.

But the huge pressure exerted on Yan Leizi was as if a giant figure was looking down on him.

"What are you doing?" Yan Leizi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, staring at him fiercely.

Luo Chen just smiled slightly, "Fellow Daoist, watch your back!"

Yan Leizi was stunned, then showed a sneer.

"Still trying to trick me?"

"That spell just now should have exhausted all your spiritual power!"

"Now standing still, probably recovering energy, behind me? What could be behind me?"

Just as he sneered and intended to kill Luo Chen.

A deafening sound came from above his head.

He looked up suddenly.

He saw a thunderous angry dragon crashing down with a rumble.

It was a thunderstorm!

In horror, he had no time to react.

Crack!

A bolt of lightning struck him in the air, and endless silver-white light permeated.

A jade plaque on his body automatically emerged with light, blocking this strike.

Not only that, the small hammer in his hand was absorbing the surrounding thunder power.

But that was as far as it went!

The next moment.

Yan Leizi turned his head with difficulty.

Where Luo Chen had been, there was now only a residual image.

In the air, the sound of extreme vibration came.

He had no strength to resist anymore, only able to open his mouth.

"Fellow Daoist, I am the son of a Core Formation..."

Swish!

Yan Leizi looked at his abdomen in disbelief.

A sword tip had pierced through his chest!

The next moment.

Behind him, Luo Chen's wings vibrated, and his fingers quickly formed seals.

"Turn!"

With a low shout, the Profound Xuan Xuan Huo Jian spun fiercely.

Countless fire meteors erupted from it.

In just an instant, his body was burned to ashes.

The jade pendant he wore tried to emit silver-white light again.

However, having resisted the might of the mountain collapse and the heavenly thunder one after another, it was now powerless, only able to emit partial light to protect Yan Leizi's head.

Within three zhang.

Luo Chen frowned slightly.

"A Core Formation means similar to the Profound Ice Talisman given by Fairy Jueqing?"

A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he controlled the Profound Xuan Xuan Huo Jian to stab again.

The head protected by the jade pendant's light showed horror in its eyes.

While frantically retreating, it opened its mouth to beg for mercy.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, do not kill them all."

"Spare my life, and there will be a generous reward!"

Ding!

The Profound Xuan Xuan Huo Jian stabbed onto the silver-white light, but it did not pierce through.

Luo Chen snorted coldly and spat out.

The sword pellet appeared, instantly turning into a large net of sword light, strangling from all directions.

Yan Leizi felt his soul fleeing, "You cannot kill me, my father is Elder Di Wanyun of the Flame Alliance! If you kill me, he will not let you go."

Luo Chen seemed to hear nothing.

He just continuously controlled the sword light net to block his retreat.

He reached out and summoned the Profound Xuan Xuan Huo Jian back to his hand.

How could he be soft-hearted now?

Since he had decided to take action, he would never show mercy.

Especially since he had destroyed the opponent's body, leaving only a head.

Even if Yan Leizi survived, it would be very difficult to reshape a body that perfectly matched his own, and his path to immortality would be cut off.

In this situation, Yan Leizi would not let him go!

The father behind him, that so-called Flame Alliance Core Formation Elder, would be even less likely to let him go!

In doing things, one must be ruthless!

Luo Chen held the Profound Xuan Xuan Huo Jian, and streaks of fire meteors emerged from the tip of the sword.

This move, "Flying Fire Flowing Fireflies," was a small trick he had mastered during his Qi Refining stage.

All along, it had not had much use.

But that did not mean it was useless!

At this moment, he had already seen through the flaw of that jade pendant.

It could resist explosive attacks, and its defensive power was extremely strong, probably only slightly weaker than the Profound Ice Talisman given to him by Fairy Jueqing, with the advantage that it could be activated multiple times.

(Repeated sentence)

But the disadvantage was also very obvious.

It had a very long interval for energy recovery!

Under continuous attacks, flaws were constantly revealed.

Compared to methods like the Blazing Sun Technique, the continuous nature of Flying Fire Flowing Fireflies was more suitable for use in this situation.

With a thought, the long sword waved.

Streaks of fire meteors headed straight for the silver-white light shield.

Yan Leizi felt incomparable despair in the depths of his soul.

In his ears was the harsh sound of the sword light net continuously cutting and rubbing.

In his eyes were the endless fire meteors.

The opponent really wanted to kill him!

Seeing the silver-white light becoming weaker and weaker under the impact of the fire meteors and sword light, the despair in his eyes reached its peak.

A touch of madness emerged.

"Since you won't let me live, then don't think about having a good time either!"

After speaking, he closed his eyes.

The next moment, the entire head burned without fire!

Yan Leizi, a generation of thunder technique experts who made people tremble and be extremely vigilant on the battlefield, did not release any decent attacks on Luo Chen from beginning to end.

And thus perished!

However, the next moment.

A flame mark floated out from the wisps of green smoke and headed straight for Luo Chen.

Luo Chen's expression changed slightly.

"Curse technique?"

He sneered, his wings vibrated, and he retreated continuously.

In just a few breaths, he was far away from the Trap-Empty Valley.

So far away, that so-called curse should...

"Wrong!"

Luo Chen touched his forehead, and a scorching heat lingered there.

Su Yinyin, it felt as if it were going to burn his soul.

He did not hesitate, cast a Water Mirror Technique, and looked intently.

On his handsome face, at this moment, besides a gloomy expression, there was a small flame burning on his forehead.

"Damn it, what is this method?"

"Why can't I shake it off even after being so far away?"

"Fire technique move? Soul secret technique? Or some other method?"

A series of questions emerged, and Luo Chen's face was so gloomy it was almost dripping water!

Just at this moment.

From the direction of the Trap-Empty Valley, came the sound of rocks piercing the air.

Luo Chen ignored the flame mark on his head for the time being and flew toward the Trap-Empty Valley.

In fact, before he even reached the Trap-Empty Valley, he saw the scene there.

A sorry figure, waving the jade ruler in his hand, was fleeing for his life.

And behind him, Wang Yuan's black hair fluttered, his black eyes were cold and sharp, and he was wearing something like armor, taking large strides in pursuit.

From time to time, he would blast out streaks of Blood God Tribulation Fingers.

Even though that figure dodged and evaded in every possible way, occasionally a few blood fingers, after being dodged, would strangely return.

In just a few moments.

His body was full of holes, and blood flowed like a river.

His entire aura had decayed to the extreme.

Thump!

This person had no more strength and fell to the ground.

Half-kneeling on the ground, clutching his chest, gasping for breath.

By this time, Wang Yuan finally stopped.

Luo Chen flew to his side after a few turns.

"Are you alright?"

"Won't die!"

Wang Yuan gasped for breath, the ancient armor on his body gradually dissipated, and he took out a coarse linen garment and draped it over himself.

Luo Chen nodded.

Wang Yuan was injured, and not lightly.

But since the opponent said he wouldn't die, it meant there was no major issue.

The top priority was not to reminisce.

Luo Chen looked down at the person on the ground.

The opponent also looked up at this time, glaring at the two of them.

Looking at this person's face, Luo Chen had a vague sense of familiarity.

He hesitated, "Are you Ku Chan?"

The old man did not speak, just stared at them fiercely.

Luo Chen frowned, "We have no deep grudge against you, and on the battlefield, we are each serving our own masters. Killing so many people of my Luo Tian Society is one thing, but why pursue and kill Wang Yuan regardless of everything?"

"No deep grudge? Hahaha..."

Ku Chan seemed to have heard something funny.

He actually ignored his injuries and laughed out loud.

Only, as he laughed, his injuries made him unable to stop coughing.

"Cough cough..."

While coughing, he spat out blood foam, in which internal organ flesh could be vaguely seen.

Luo Chen was still puzzled.

Beside him, Wang Yuan pursed his lips and said coldly: "We really do have a deep grudge with him! The kind that is life and death!"

"Hmm?"

"Huo Quan, right?"

On the ground, Ku Chan suddenly looked up, his eyes staring at the two with incomparable resentment.

"The grudge of a murdered son is irreconcilable!"

At the moment he heard the two words "Huo Quan," Luo Chen's mouth twitched.

He finally knew why this old man opposite him felt somewhat familiar.

The opponent had a son named Huo Hu!

They had met at Taishan Market back then, later captured at the Battle of Gaoling Plain, and as for the final outcome...

Luo Chen's gaze fell on Wang Yuan's back.

Under the cover of the coarse linen garment, the tiger back and bear waist were not visible, but back then, a Blood Fiend Soul-Seizing Array was engraved on the opponent's back!

He had thought that this matter had no follow-up after the Red Toad Mountain was destroyed.

But he did not expect that there was still a venomous snake coiling on the side.

Huo Quan did not look at Luo Chen at all, but stared at Wang Yuan with resentment.

"If you had just killed him, that would be it. But you took his Dao foundation, swallowed his bone and flesh essence, and didn't even give him a chance to reincarnate!"

"With such demonic conduct, even if I can't kill you today, those great powers in the Yuding Domain will not spare you!"

Luo Chen's expression changed slightly.

The matter of Blood Fiend Foundation Seizing was extremely secret; how did he know it so clearly?

Wang Yuan seemed to know Luo Chen's doubts and said lightly: "The Flame Alliance has a bloodline sensing technique. Huo Quan was an inner disciple of the Flame Alliance in his early years and naturally knew this technique. At close range, he can feel everything Huo Hu experienced on me."

Luo Chen suddenly realized.

He had occasionally heard of such secret techniques.

It could not be used unless it was a close blood relative.

"If I hadn't been injured by the third-tier monster Three-Foot River-Swallowing Toad back then, I would have killed you all long ago."

Huo Quan said hatefully.

"After I healed my injuries and stabilized my Foundation Establishment late-stage realm, I learned that you had latched onto a Core Formation grand sect. That so-called name of Alchemist Danchenzi even pressed down on countless young people in the Yuding Domain."

"With my ability, entering Tianlan to kill you was naturally impossible."

"Heaven has pity, the civil war between the two Nascent Soul sects in the Yuding Domain gave me this opportunity."

"I originally wanted to kill all the cultivators of the Luo Tian Society on the battlefield first, suppress and kill Wang Yuan, and then lure you, Luo Chen, out... but I didn't expect that just the first step would fail."

"Hateful, if it weren't for Yang Wei's array attainments being mediocre..."

Just as he was rambling.

Luo Chen frowned, the sword pellet flashed, and it flew toward the opponent.

Too much nonsense!

This place should not be stayed in for long; where did all these words of reminiscing come from.

However, just as the sword pellet was released, a jade ruler slapped it away.

Ku Chan Huo Quan took a deep breath, his whole body bulging like a toad.

He lunged toward Luo Chen and the others.

The jade ruler behind him was urged to the limit, transforming into a hundred-zhang giant, slamming down fiercely.

Perish together!

Self-destruct to kill!

However, watching this scene, Wang Yuan just sneered.

He stretched out his right palm and clenched it into a fist.

Squeezing fiercely!

Boom!

Separated by several zhang, Huo Quan turned into a sky full of blood rain in his unwillingness.

That jade ruler lost its control and fell into Luo Chen's hands.

"Brother Wang, your method is a bit too cruel." Luo Chen said helplessly; he still had to clean up the battlefield.

With this sky full of blood rain, how much work would it add to him!

Wang Yuan's mouth twitched.

He had seen Luo Chen's method of killing Yan Leizi.

How was that not cruel, not violent?

Facing a head, he was hacking with a sword and burning with fire.

"This is just a means of using Transformation Energy. After he was hit by my first Blood God Tribulation Finger, he couldn't escape this fate."

Wang Yuan said lightly, his gaze falling on the center of Luo Chen's forehead.

"What is this?"

Luo Chen forced a smile, "No matter, it's a backup left by Yan Leizi, but now I feel no danger, I'll find a way to solve it after going back."

Seeing him say this, Wang Yuan couldn't pursue the question.

Luo Chen asked casually about the life and death of that array master.

The answer he got was that he was dead.

No bones left!

Inside, the array was broken and backlashed, and outside, there was the Mountain Collapse spell bombing.

Except for a magic treasure array disk that luckily remained, the whole person died cleanly, drowned in that magma.

Luo Chen breathed a sigh of relief and put away the magic treasure array disk.

A rare intact array disk, he could give it to Min Longyu after going back, which would surely allow her strength to go to the next level.

But now, it was not the time to discuss the ownership of these spoils.

Luo Chen wandered the battlefield, continuously casting Cleaning Techniques, trying his best to erase all auras.

As for the messy scene caused by the mountain collapse and ground sinking, it was not something he could easily restore.

Just as he was busy running around, he found Wang Yuan had returned to the place where the Trap-Empty Valley used to be.

The tall figure stood there, eyes showing hesitation.

"Brother Wang, what's wrong?"

Wang Yuan said uncertainly: "Luo Chen, there seems to be a door below?"
