Chapter 379

Deafening explosions resounded through the clouds.

Miserable wails echoed through the mountains.

Luo Chen's gaze withdrew from the Luotian Sect side, and beside him was Chu Kui's excited yet calm voice.

"The first moment of close combat is when casualties are the greatest; you and I don't need to be anxious, let the four-sect vassals charge in front."

"Go to the flank first, and then look for a good opportunity to reap a large harvest!"

Luo Chen gave a hum.

Following behind Chu Kui, he rode the wind and clouds in the void, heading toward the flank of the battlefield.

The two maintained an extremely calm mindset, and no matter how the shouting shook the sky in front, and spiritual energy surged and intertwined, they remained unmoved.

And with Luo Chen's steps.

In the night sky behind, a gaze followed his back tightly.

"Senior Sister, the little man you found seems to be a bit ungrateful!"

A crisp, bell-like voice entered his ears.

The Ruthless Fairy didn't look back, ignored the sarcasm in her words, and just said coldly: "If he wants to achieve something, can you and I stop him?"

Yin Yue was stunned and curled her lips.

Luo Chen is now hired by the Ice Castle as a guest elder, and in terms of status, he is on the same level as them and is not subject to conscription.

He wants to go to the front line to fight, and she and Ruthless really can't say much.

"Still, pay more attention to this little guy!"

"If there is any damage, neither of us will be able to explain it to the Supreme Elder when we go back."

The Ruthless Fairy said coldly: "No need for you to say more, I have a count in my heart. You'd better manage the upcoming battle arrangements; if the disciples under your command suffer too many losses, you won't be able to bear it from your Sect Master Senior Sister's side."

Yin Yue True Person snorted and withdrew her spiritual sense, no longer paying attention to Luo Chen's movements.

This battle is not just about taking down the Seventh Mountain!

The Eighth Mountain is also their target.

Although it's not said to be done in one battle, at least they must occupy four mountains and regain a balanced situation.

Otherwise, the Luotian Sect side wouldn't have decided to press the entire army.

At the bottom of the Seventh Mountain flank.

On a flowing sand area, the color was light gold.

This place is a place where the second-tier mineral material Flowing Sand Fine Gold is produced, so even on the relatively safe flank, it was protected.

The Que Knife Sect was arranged here.

Strictly speaking, the Que Knife Sect, which possesses one late-stage Foundation Establishment and three early-stage Foundation Establishment, is not a Sword Sect vassal.

Their backer is the Sword Sect vassal, the Sky Knife Sect.

After the war broke out, the Sky Knife Sect, which possessed a Jin Dan True Person, was conscripted, and then the Sky Knife Sect conscripted the Que Knife Sect downward.

This situation is quite similar to the Ice Castle conscripting the Luotian Association, and then the Luotian Association sending the vassal Qinhua Li family's head, Li Yingzhang, to the battlefield.

The vassal of a vassal is not a vassal, but still a chess piece indirectly controlled by people.

The only relatively lucky thing is that since the war started, although the Que Knife Sect has suffered many losses, it has still been completely preserved in terms of high-end combat power, Foundation Establishment True Cultivators.

At this moment.

Ximen Wuhai, the Sect Master of the Que Knife Sect, looked at the shocking war erupting in the distance surrounded by three disciples.

In his eyes, there was uncontrollable worry.

"Master, we..."

"No need to say more, wait until the situation is not right, we will pull out the camp directly. Yulang will take people away first, and Dezhu and the army will cover the retreat with me, fighting while retreating!"

"But, will this offend the Sky Knife Sect?" Jiang Yulang couldn't help but ask.

Ximen Wuhai sneered, "Sky Knife Sect? They are already overwhelmed themselves. Just now, the Luotian Sect puppets bombarded the Seventh Mountain, and the first to bear the brunt was the Sky Knife Sect position; why should we care about them?"

"It is even said that if we win this battle and we survive by luck, the Que Knife Sect might be able to annex the Sky Knife Sect and become a first-rate force!"

After these words.

It both set the current decision and looked forward to the future.

It is definitely not the behavior of someone short-sighted.

The three disciples behind him also praised him sincerely.

"Master is far-sighted!"

"Disciples obey Master's order."

"Master, if you can exchange for the Core Formation secret technique brought out by the Sword Sect, maybe our Que Knife Sect can produce a Jin Dan True Person in the future!"

Just at this time.

Ximen Wuhai looked up suddenly.

"Small fry, get out!"

While shouting, his back hand made a move.

Immediately, the three early-stage Foundation Establishment disciples understood and retreated behind to prepare to activate the second-tier attack array.

In Ximen Wuhai's gaze, two figures stepped out from the night curtain.

One held a Qitian staff, full of fighting spirit.

One held a long sword upside down behind his back, his eyes cold.

Looking at the two, Ximen Wuhai's face changed greatly.

Ninth layer of Foundation Establishment! Sixth layer of Foundation Establishment!

"Fellow Daoist..."

In the sky, the two completely ignored him.

"You break the array, I'll take that late-stage Foundation Establishment one!" Chu Kui said briefly.

Luo Chen gave a hum.

Without any nonsense.

The next moment, Chu Kui held the Qitian staff and smashed it down.

Ximen Wuhai was terrified in his heart, but gritted his teeth and didn't retreat, a big knife was sacrificed by him.

It erupted with dozens of meters of knife light, meeting the Qitian staff shadow.

Boom!

With one blow, it shook several miles of land.

In the flowing sand camp, many late-stage Qi Refining cultivators were directly stunned.

Ximen Wuhai saw this and shouted angrily.

"I'll fight you!"

"Just what I wanted!"

Chu Kui shouted excitedly and immediately wielded his long staff to chase and kill Ximen Wuhai who flew out.

Looking up at the two above, Luo Chen's mind was clear as ice.

He walked toward the flowing sand camp step by step.

His gaze looked at the giant golden knife light that was rapidly condensing in the array.

As the intensity of the war deepened, both sides were rapidly evolving for all means that could increase strength.

Defensive arrays most suitable for guarding mountains are not easy to set up.

But various lethal arrays are everywhere.

At this moment, a giant golden knife, nearly twenty feet long, rose from the center of the array.

Heaven-Que Knife Array!

Second-tier metal-type attack array, under the control of three people working together, it is enough to quickly issue a powerful attack comparable to late-stage Foundation Establishment.

"This person is only sixth-layer Foundation Establishment."

"Quickly use the array to kill him, and then we'll go help Master!"

"Junior Brother, you are the most proficient in arrays, you will be responsible for the final blow later!"

"Yes, Senior Brother!"

Fast and compact dialogue was conducted within the array.

They were fellow sect brothers, cooperating seamlessly with each other.

With early preparation, it only took a few breaths for the array's power to condense to the extreme.

Then, the giant knife light slashed down suddenly!

Target, the man in the red robe!

Jiang Yulang's expression was extremely excited, with a morbid flush, controlling the knife light to ensure it didn't deviate.

Whether the other party fled or resisted, there would only be one outcome!

That is death!

It's just that, in his gaze.

The man in the red robe opposite looked at the knife light coming for his life, his face neither sad nor happy.

Neither fleeing nor sacrificing a defensive magic tool.

Instead, he slowly stretched out his palm!

"What is he going to do?"

"Is he going to resist the Heaven-Que knife with his body?"

In Jiang Yulang's surprised gaze, spiritual energy bloomed on the man in the red robe's hand.

A piece of blue light gushed out.

The next moment, a light curtain that looked like glaze took shape in front of him suddenly.

The golden knife and the blue curtain made contact in an instant.

Clang!

Under that blue glazed light curtain, the knife light couldn't advance an inch.

Without subsequent force, the golden knife couldn't continue and gradually dissipated.

Jiang Yulang was stunned; what kind of spell was that, that it could actually block the Heaven-Que knife.

Just at this time, his senior brother's anxious voice came from beside him.

"Careful!"

A fire-red sword shadow, like a shooting star from outside the sky, went straight to the center of the array.

Jiang Yulang's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly withdrew.

The next moment.

The sound of paper tearing came, and the Heaven-Que Knife Array shattered inch by inch.

Outside the array, Luo Chen looked at this scene with satisfaction.

Attack arrays are far easier to break than defensive arrays!

Defense is from outside to inside, with power restrained and no traces to be found.

To break a defensive array, you either have to suppress it with overwhelming strength, or destroy its array veins and cut its array patterns, achieving it in one go.

When he broke Yang Wei's Thunder Prison Great Array before, it took a lot of effort, and he had to rely on the strongest means in his hand, "Mountain Collapse," to break the array.

But this Heaven-Que Knife Array.

When it is releasing an attack, it is when it has the biggest flaw.

With his keen eyesight, combined with powerful spiritual sense, it only took an instant to find the flaw.

Breaking the array was as easy as turning over his hand!

After breaking the array with an unremarkable sword, Luo Chen held the Xuanhuo Sword upside down and opened his mouth to spit.

A sword pill flew out.

After spinning, it flew toward the youngest of the three.

Seeing the sword pill, the three were terrified!

"It's a sword cultivator, run!"

Sword cultivators are known as the strongest in combat, invincible among peers.

The man in the red robe possessed the powerful realm of sixth-layer Foundation Establishment, which was already stronger than them; if he used a sword pill to fight, they would have no power to resist.

It's just that, when the sword pill reached them.

Jiang Yulang found that the other party's sword-controlling technique didn't seem to be very exquisite.

A flying knife in mid-air blocked it.

Turning and moving, returning like a swallow and leaping like a sparrow, it was quite spectacular.

Seeing this scene, the other two senior brothers breathed a sigh of relief.

"This person doesn't look like an orthodox sword cultivator, just blood-refined a sword pill."

"Junior Brother, don't panic, I'll help you!"

Opposite, Luo Chen shook his head with a smile.

"Better take care of yourselves first!"

As the words fell, a giant mountain peak smashed down from the sky.

Thousand-Heavy Peak!

Immediately suppressed one person.

Not only that, Luo Chen pointed his left hand repeatedly, and seven thorn flower seeds flew out.

In the blink of an eye, seven giant vines rose from the ground, shrouding the last person in them.

Using one heart for three purposes, with varied means.

One against three, walking leisurely!

In the sky, a furious voice came, containing anxiety.

But under Chu Kui's suppression, it was getting weaker and weaker, constantly suffering heavy injuries.

Luo Chen glanced at it, then nodded secretly.

"Almost there!"

With a movement of his mind, the sword pill that was entangled with Jiang Yulang suddenly split its sword light, like two spiritual snakes bypassing his flying knife.

Sss! Sss!

One in the chest, one between the eyebrows, two holes emitting green smoke.

Jiang Yulang fell to the ground, dying with his eyes wide open.

"Junior Brother!"

"Yulang!"

Two sorrowful roars sounded.

They were only met by Chu Kui's wild laughter and Luo Chen's light laughter.

"Better take care of yourselves!"

He flipped his hand and pressed down, and the Thousand-Heavy Peak reappeared with surging giant power, and countless golden flowing sands from all directions were drawn by the terrifying suction.

In just a moment, the giant power was added to his body.

The early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator who was already supporting himself extremely hard widened his eyes, his face full of despair.

Boom!

The Thousand-Heavy Peak pressed down with a bang.

The surging giant power instantly crushed him into a pool of flesh.

Luo Chen nodded with satisfaction; using tools to control techniques is not limited to the Xuanhuo Sword.

The cooperation of the Earth Mountain Technique and the Thousand-Heavy Peak is equally complementary.

Even with the superposition, it already has the attack intensity of an ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment.

Dealing with an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator is just a matter of reaching out and grabbing.

Suddenly, he turned his head to look.

In the cage intertwined with seven vines, a bright knife light was about to rise.

"He has some courage."

"In a desperate situation, he wants to trade injuries for time and condense a magic treasure killing move."

"It's a pity..."

Luo Chen summoned with his left hand, and the sword pill trembled instantly.

In one breath, it passed through the brain of the last person.

That magic treasure killing move that was about to be released suddenly lost its subsequent power, with no one to control it.

The terrifying power erupted in the blink of an eye, blowing the owner's corpse into countless fragments.

All this, it sounds long.

But with Luo Chen using one heart for three purposes, it happened extremely fast.

In the blink of an eye, he killed three people instantly.

Ximen Wuhai watched his three disciples, whom he had taught since childhood, die miserably at his feet.

He went crazy!

His whole body turned into a knife dragon and rushed toward Luo Chen.

"I want you to die!"

Regarding this, Luo Chen held the Xuanhuo Sword upside down, motionless, just looking at him quietly.

Until he stepped into the three-foot range.

A giant staff shadow slammed down suddenly.

Bang!

Ximen Wuhai lay on the ground, looking at Luo Chen unwillingly, and finally swallowed his last breath.

On his back, a long staff with a pitch-black body and light gold at both ends was inserted.

Chu Kui floated in the air, "Sorry, it took a bit more time."

Luo Chen shook his head, "No matter, it's a Foundation Establishment eighth-layer cultivator after all; being able to kill him in such a fast time is already not easy."

Chu Kui smiled, not taking credit.

He could see that Luo Chen contributed the most in this battle.

Not to mention breaking the array and killing people, he also entangled Ximen Wuhai's energy.

Otherwise, without using all his means, he would have had to spend more effort to kill him.

"You seem to be more powerful than before, and you didn't even cast your most proficient fire magic, yet you easily killed three early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators."

Luo Chen smiled.

Fire magic is a trump card, how can it be cast at will.

His usual means, under the control of vigorous spiritual power, powerful soul, and flawless traction technique, have already reached the late-stage Foundation Establishment level.

Since he can kill people easily, why use big moves.

"What about those Qi Refining people?" Luo Chen asked.

In his gaze, the late-stage Qi Refining disciples of the Que Knife Sect were fleeing in panic.

It seems they ran very far, but with the two of them, chasing these two or three hundred people is not a difficult task.

Chu Kui was silent for a while, then said decisively: "Let them go, slaughtering too many low-realm cultivators will affect the merit assessment."

"Hmm, do it your way!"

Luo Chen nodded.

Then the two of them wandered on the battlefield, collecting spoils of war.

The judgment of merit points depends on how many enemies you killed.

But how to judge whether it was you who killed them depends on the spoils of war given in the end.

It is best to have heads, which can directly prove it!

Secondly, magic tools and treasures, which have the owner's spiritual power and spiritual sense marks; once the owner dies, life and death can be easily judged through these marks.

Finally, there is testimony from others.

If the battlefield is chaotic and you kill people without time to harvest heads and corresponding physical evidence, you have to ask others to testify, proving that you killed the enemy.

This judgment standard has many loopholes.

There are even people who commit fraud.

But generally speaking, it won't be wrong.

Moreover, not many people dare to commit fraud in front of Jin Dan True Persons.

Before long.

Luo Chen and Chu Kui returned with the spoils of war.

For some Qi Refining cultivators who were unconscious on the ground due to the aftermath of the battle, they didn't have soft hearts and killed them casually.

The corresponding magic tools and storage bags were also put into their pockets.

"Not poor, the storage bags haven't been cracked yet, but there are two flying knife magic treasures and three top-grade magic tools. Tsk, the cultivator who was crushed to death by you actually has a top-grade defensive magic tool, and it's not damaged."

"Give it to me!"

Luo Chen didn't decline and asked directly.

He has many cultivators in the Luotian Association, and although these things don't count for much in front of late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, they are all top-notch good things for the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the association!

Chu Kui wasn't greedy either.

In this battle, the goal was merit points, and everything else could be painfully abandoned.

"Then now?"

Luo Chen's expression tightened, and his hands closed together, forming a circle.

Then, he expanded slowly!

A blue water mirror, under his control, slowly unfolded.

"The spiritual energy fluctuations on the battlefield are intense, spiritual senses are crisscrossing, and there is even Jin Dan True Person spiritual sense monitoring; my power alone is not enough to cast the Water Mirror Spell."

"Help me!"

Chu Kui gave a hum and immediately took action to help Luo Chen expand the Water Mirror Spell.

Before long, a giant water mirror, a full ten feet square, was presented in front of them.

The scenes of countless cultivators fighting were displayed on it lifelike.

Using the water mirror to view the overall situation and find opportunities to take action.

Before long, Chu Kui's eyes lit up.

"Nearby!"

"There is a group of defeated soldiers coming toward us, five early-stage Foundation Establishment, three mid-stage Foundation Establishment, and one heavily injured seventh-layer Foundation Establishment cultivator, who seems to be a sword cultivator."

"Luo Chen, do we do it?"

Crack!

The blue water mirror shattered suddenly.

Luo Chen's face was full of evil spirit, and he spat out a word lightly.

"Do it!"
