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

"Who goes there?"

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

Luo Chen paused his steps, his gaze falling on the uniquely shaped concave valley.

Trapped Sky Valley!

Wang Yuan was inside.

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

Luo Tian Society?

Yan Leizi was stunned, then reacted.

Wang Yuan was the Hall Master of the Luo Tian Society's Transmission Hall, 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 us shake hands and make peace?"

"As a 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 already 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 exploded with wisps of thunder and fire light.

"I have always heard that the President of the Luo Tian Society is proficient in fire techniques and has the reputation of being the Fire Spirit Lord. Besides being proficient in thunder techniques, I also have some insights into fire-type spells. Why don't you give me some pointers, Daoist?"

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow.

Then, he nodded.

"Since that's the case, I'll satisfy you!"

"Exactly, 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 from his body.

He watched as the long sword in Luo Chen's hand slowly raised high into the sky.

And the earthquake on the ground earlier, following his movement, also inexplicably stopped.

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

"Despicable!"

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

Facing this strike, Luo Chen ignored it.

He took a deep breath and mobilized all his spiritual energy into the Profound Fire Sword.

The next moment!

The long sword slashed down fiercely!

*Boom!

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

Yan Leizi knew something was wrong and steered his flying sword toward the high sky.

However, everything seemed to be too late.

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

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

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

And were continuously washed away and shaken by that terrifying air wave, even to the point of dissipation.

Like this, until the remaining power gradually faded, his entire figure barely stopped.

"*Pfft! "

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 Trapped Sky Valley for five miles had all collapsed together!

Infinite power gathered with the Thunder Prison Array as the center.

The most dazzling explosion had already passed.

At this moment.

Only streams of surging magma could be seen gathering from all directions, flowing toward the buried Trapped Sky Valley.

*Gulp!

Visibly, Yan Leizi's throat moved.

He said hoarsely: "What spell is this?"

Luo Chen smiled slightly, standing in place without moving, letting the scorching heat rush toward his face.

What spell?

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

Moreover, although it was named second-grade.

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

Coupled with the Profound Fire Sword's amplification of fire techniques.

The power of this spell had long exceeded the second grade, not weaker than a third-grade offensive spell!

It could even be said that ordinary third-grade spells couldn't achieve this level of destructive power.

If he had deliberately targeted Yan Leizi.

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

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

It was just that.

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

Yan Leizi naturally understood this too.

He himself 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 truly specifically targeted at him.

Under his inquiry.

Luo Chen did not answer him.

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

The Ninth Mountain was truly strange!

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

But even so.

It had achieved his goal.

The mountain collapsed and the earth sank, the external environment changed, and there were infinite explosions and shaking.

The Thunder Prison Array was broken!

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

But Wang Yuan would certainly be able to survive.

This was his absolute trust in Wang Yuan!

So 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 made it seem as if a giant figure was looking down at him.

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

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

Yan Leizi was stunned, then showed a cold sneer.

"Still trying to trick me?"

"That spell just now must have exhausted all your spiritual energy!"

"Now you're standing still, probably recovering your energy. Behind me? What could be behind me?"

Just as he sneered and intended to attack and kill Luo Chen.

A deafening sound came from overhead.

He looked up abruptly.

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

It was a lightning storm!

In horror, he had no time to react.

*Crack!

A bolt of lightning struck him from the sky, and infinite silvery-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 an afterimage.

In the air, a sound of extreme vibration came.

He no longer had the strength to resist and could only open his mouth.

"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 trembled, and his fingers quickly formed seals.

"Turn!"

With a low shout, the Profound Fire Sword spun violently.

Countless fire meteors erupted from it.

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

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

However, having resisted the power of the mountain collapse and the heavenly thunder one after another, it was now unable to keep up, 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 of the Heartless Fairy?"

A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he controlled the Profound Fire Sword to stab again.

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

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

"Daoist Luo, please don't kill me all."

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

*Ding!

The Profound Fire Sword stabbed onto the silvery-white light, but it didn't 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 was terrified, "You cannot kill me, my father is Di Wanyun, an Elder of the Yan Alliance! If you kill me, he will not let you go."

Luo Chen acted as if he hadn't heard anything.

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

Reaching out, the Profound Fire Sword returned 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 fit his own, and his path to immortality would be effectively severed.

Under these circumstances, Yan Leizi would not let him go!

The father behind him, that so-called Yan 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 Fire Sword, and streaks of fire meteors emerged from the tip of the sword.

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

All along, it hadn't had much use.

But that didn't mean it was useless!

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

It could resist explosive attacks and had strong defensive power, estimated to be slightly weaker than the Profound Ice Talisman given to him by the Heartless Fairy, with the advantage of being able to be activated multiple times.

It could resist explosive attacks and had strong defensive power, estimated to be slightly weaker than the Profound Ice Talisman given to him by the Heartless Fairy, with the advantage of being able to be activated multiple times.

But the disadvantage was also obvious.

It had a very long intermittent recovery time!

Under continuous attacks, flaws were constantly revealed.

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

With a thought, the long sword waved.

Streaks of fire meteors rushed straight toward the silvery-white light shield.

Yan Leizi's soul was filled with despair.

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

In his eyes were continuous fire meteors.

The opponent really wanted to kill him!

Seeing the silvery-white light becoming weaker and weaker under the impact of the fire meteors and sword light, the despair in his eyes intensified to the extreme.

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 wary on the battlefield, had not released any decent attacks against Luo Chen from start to finish.

And thus perished!

However, the next moment.

A flame mark suddenly floated out from the wisps of green smoke and rushed straight toward Luo Chen.

Luo Chen's expression changed slightly.

"A curse technique?"

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

In just a few breaths, he was far away from Trapped Sky Valley.

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

"No!"

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

Vaguely, it felt like it was going to burn his soul.

He didn't hesitate and cast a Water Mirror Technique, focusing his gaze.

On his handsome face, 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 Trapped Sky Valley, a sound of rocks piercing the air came.

Luo Chen couldn't care about the flame mark on his forehead for the moment and flew toward Trapped Sky Valley.

In fact, before he even reached Trapped Sky 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, with black hair flying and cold black eyes, wearing something like armor, was taking big strides in pursuit.

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

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

In just a few moments.

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

His entire aura had also decayed to the extreme.

*Thump!

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

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

At this point, Wang Yuan finally stopped.

Luo Chen tumbled and flew to his side.

"Are you okay?"

"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 his body.

Luo Chen nodded.

Wang Yuan was injured, and not lightly.

However, since the opponent said he wouldn't die, it meant it wasn't a big deal.

The top priority was not to reminisce.

Luo Chen looked down at the person on the ground.

The opponent also looked up at this moment, 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 didn't speak, just stared at them fiercely.

Luo Chen frowned, "We have no deep grudge against you, and on the battlefield, we are just serving our own masters. Killing so many people from 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 didn't even care about his own injuries and burst into loud laughter.

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

"*Cough, cough... "

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

Luo Chen was still puzzled.

Wang Yuan on the side 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 looked up abruptly, his eyes staring at the two with extreme resentment.

"The grudge of a murdered son is irreconcilable!"

Upon hearing the words "Huo Quan," Luo Chen's mouth twitched.

He finally knew why this old man looked somewhat familiar.

The opponent had a son named Huo Hu!

They had met at Taishan Market back then, and later he was captured by them 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's back and bear's waist were not visible, but back then, a Blood Fiend Soul-Snatching Array was engraved on his back!

He had thought that this matter had ended with the destruction of Red Toad Mountain.

But he didn't expect that a poisonous snake had been circling nearby all along.

Huo Quan didn't look at Luo Chen at all, but stared at Wang Yuan with resentment.

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

"With your demonic behavior, even if I can't kill you today, those great beings in the Yuding Domain will not spare you!"

Luo Chen's expression changed slightly.

The matter of snatching the foundation with blood fiends was extremely secret; how did he know it so clearly?

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

Luo Chen suddenly realized.

He had occasionally heard of such secret techniques.

They could not be cast without a close bloodline.

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

Huo Quan said hatefully.

"After I recovered from my injuries and stabilized my late Foundation Establishment stage, I learned that you had latched onto a Core Formation major sect. That so-called name of Dan Chenzi was even pressing on the heads of 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 poor array attainments..."

Just as he was rambling on.

Luo Chen frowned, and the Sword Pellet flashed, flying toward the opponent.

Too much nonsense!

This place could not be stayed in for long; where did all this reminiscing come from.

However, just as the Sword Pellet was launched, a jade ruler swatted it away.

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

He lunged toward Luo Chen and the others.

The jade ruler behind him was driven to the limit, transforming into a hundred *zhang* size, slamming down fiercely.

Mutual destruction!

Self-detonation to kill!

However, watching this scene, Wang Yuan just sneered.

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

Squeezing it fiercely!

*Boom!

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

That jade ruler lost control and fell into Luo Chen's hand with a *clatter*.

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

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

Wang Yuan's mouth twitched.

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

Wasn't that also cruel and violent?

Facing a head, he was both sword-cutting and fire-burning.

"This is just a method 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 that Yan Leizi, but it doesn't feel dangerous now. I'll find a way to solve it after I go back."

Seeing him say this, Wang Yuan didn't press further.

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

The answer was that he was dead.

No bones left!

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

Except for a magic treasure array disk that luckily remained, the whole person died cleanly, submerged 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 his strength to reach a higher 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 wipe away all traces.

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

Just as he was busy running around, he found that Wang Yuan had returned to where Trapped Sky Valley used to be.

The tall figure stood there, hesitation appearing in his eyes.

"Brother Wang, what's wrong?"

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