Chapter 381

The mountain wind was biting, and the shouting and killing in the distance were faintly audible.

There was even lightning and thunder, crashing down from time to time.

Seven powerful Foundation Establishment cultivators gathered on the flowing sand camp, with swords drawn and bows bent!

After Han Zheng asked that question, Luo Chen could only remain silent.

In this unspeakable silence, Han Zheng's face was as gloomy as if it were about to drip water.

The four fellow disciples behind him were even more prepared to erupt.

But unexpectedly...

Han Zheng suddenly smiled.

"Fine!"

"You have guts, I'll remember you!"

Under the astonishment of the four Senior Brothers, he waved his hand.

"Let's go!"

"Junior Brother..."

"Go!"

Han Zheng gave a low shout and left first.

The four were helpless, glared fiercely at Luo Chen and Chu Kui, and left with Han Zheng.

After they left, Chu Kui clearly breathed a long sigh of relief.

That heavy panting proved how turbulent his heart had been before.

He was afraid he had already prepared to accompany Luo Chen to start a war with the five true disciples of the Luoyun Sect.

He panted heavily, looking at the calm and unruffled Luo Chen in disbelief.

"Where did your eloquent and sharp tongue go? You didn't say a word just now. The most critical thing is, they actually retreated?"

Luo Chen glanced at him faintly.

Spiritual power surged in his hands, and the Profound Fire Sword flew back with the corpse of the Lan-surnamed sword cultivator from the Yuding Sword Sect.

While checking the things on the opponent's corpse, he replied:

"Say what?"

"Sorry? Beg for mercy? Or hand over the merit points?"

Chu Kui was stumped by the question.

A mouthful of words was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say a single one.

Indeed, those words did not fit Luo Chen's character.

He couldn't imagine the scene of Luo Chen saying those words either.

It's just that...

"But, they are true disciples of the Luoyun Sect after all!"

Hiss...

A sword light flashed, and a headless corpse fell toward the ground.

Luo Chen was holding a head in one hand and a token and a jade pendant in the other.

Opening his mouth and spitting, a fireball appeared, instantly burning the corpse to ashes.

Looting the corpse for wealth, destroying the corpse and erasing the traces.

Done in one go!

This familiar scene made Chu Kui's eyelids jump.

The opponent is a master of a society after all, yet such means are still incredibly skillful.

Luo Chen didn't carefully examine the extra spoils of war on the opponent, but packed them all into his storage bag.

Patting his hands, he said leisurely: "It is precisely because they are Luoyun Sect disciples that I could be so calm!"

"Uh..."

Luo Chen gave a light laugh, "Although my Luo Tian Society was conscripted to participate in the war, in name, we are also part of the Four Sects Alliance. Our relationship is that of allies, not enemies. Now that the overall situation is not yet decided, and we are performing the act of killing enemies, there is no fault at all. Under these circumstances, Han Zheng has no reason to attack me."

These words were like a divine revelation.

Chu Kui understood instantly.

The logic is indeed this logic.

However!

While Chu Kui was enlightened, he smiled bitterly: "I guess outside the four sects, only you have the guts to snatch food from the tiger's mouth. If it were anyone else, even me, I guess it would be very difficult to retreat unscathed, and I would have to leave something behind."

Luo Chen twitched the corners of his mouth and didn't say anything more.

He took advantage of the fact that the opponent was a Luoyun Sect disciple, which can be called "deceiving them with righteousness."

But, he also had his own confidence!

Whether it is the reputation of Alchemist Danchenzi or the status of a guest elder of the Ice Fortress, it is enough to make him not inferior to any true disciple of a large sect.

Moreover, if the opponent really wanted to make a move, so what?

Could he and Chu Kui not run if they couldn't beat them?

Once the matter of attacking allies spreads, the Luoyun Sect's reputation will be ruined; the four sects are easy to talk about, but those loose cultivators will probably have to weigh whether they still want to sell their lives for the Luoyun Sect.

It was precisely because of these many considerations that he had the confidence to remain silent!

That Han Zheng is indeed a smart man, choosing to pick it up high and put it down gently.

Of course, that's just him.

If it were someone else, under that kind of pressure, even a great cultivator like Chu Kui in the late stage of Foundation Establishment would have to know the current affairs and be a hero.

"It's just a bit unkind, they beat people to serious injury, but we picked up the bargain in the end." Chu Kui gave a chuckle, carrying seven or eight storage bags in his hand, with a full harvest.

"They aren't my friends, why be kind to them!"

Luo Chen gave a light snort, his gaze sweeping across the surroundings.

"Let's go!"

"This place is not suitable for staying long, change to another place, while it's not yet dawn, see if we can do another job."

As the words fell, he found a remote direction and left straight away.

Chu Kui had no objections and followed closely behind him.

Under the night.

Two figures wandered on the edge of the battlefield like ghosts.

When they encountered enemies alone, they would strike fiercely.

If it was a small group of routed soldiers, after weighing it, the two would each use great means to inflict as much damage as possible on the main force. Then, they would each cover their faces and chase and kill, and if they encountered those running fast, they would no longer chase to the death, trying their best to take the merit points they could get.

If it was a slightly larger troop, they would not hesitate to retreat three times.

Like this.

When the long night ended, the two exhausted figures hid in an underground cave, calculating the merit points harvested.

"Hunted two great cultivators, one thousand merit points."

"Six mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, one thousand two hundred merit points."

"Twelve early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, one thousand two hundred merit points."

"A total of three thousand four hundred merit points!"

After getting the accurate data, Chu Kui's exhausted face could not hide his excitement.

If you count some late-stage Qi Refining cultivators they slaughtered along the way, this value can be piled up to about three thousand five hundred!

Only six thousand five hundred are left to meet the requirement for exchanging for the top-grade Core Formation secret technique.

It seems everything is right before their eyes!

"Luo Chen, the war outside hasn't ended yet, do we want to continue now?"

Facing his enthusiasm, Luo Chen poured a basin of cold water on him very calmly.

"If you don't want to die on the battlefield, I advise you to rest and reorganize properly."

Chu Kui's expression froze.

Looking at the slightly disheveled Luo Chen, and himself covered in wounds of all sizes, his whole body trembled suddenly.

He seemed to have become a bit carried away!

Or rather, in the huge temptation and endless slaughter, he had vaguely lost his mind.

This doesn't look like his usual self.

Seeing him calm down a lot, Luo Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Raising his head, a pair of spirit eyes seemed to pierce through the flowing sand outside, filled with blood and fire.

"Don't worry!"

"This war is far from over."

Chu Kui was surprised, "But the Seventh Mountain is about to be taken! This morning, even the Core Formation cultivators on both sides made moves, rolling up a hundred miles of yellow sand, fighting earth-shakingly."

Core Formation making a move means the war is about to reach its climax.

Once it ends, the war will inevitably stop for a period of time.

Luo Chen gave a snort, "You only saw that the Seventh Mountain will be taken, but didn't notice that the number of cultivators on the Four Sects Alliance side is increasing; what this means, you will understand if you think about it."

In a battle between two sides, the number of cultivators will only decrease as they fight.

There is no reason for it to increase.

Unless, the Four Sects Alliance side is constantly reinforcing troops!

He kept recalling what he saw on the battlefield today, some of whom were clearly newcomers who had just been put into the Seventh Mountain battlefield.

Transferred from the Fifth and Sixth Mountains?

Or is it the cultivators left behind on the Golden Sand Floating Island?

Chu Kui was shocked!

He couldn't help but blurt out.

"Could it be that the Four Sects Alliance still wants to take back the Eighth Mountain?"

Luo Chen nodded heavily, "That must be it! Otherwise, Core Formation Venerables like Venerable Yinyue and Venerable Linghu who sit in one side would not appear on the battlefield together."

So many Core Formation cultivators appeared.

It means it won't be just a small matter of taking back one mountain.

This war will continue!

Chu Kui's eyes shone, but he soon frowned again.

"The number of cultivators on our side is increasing, wouldn't that lead to a situation where there are more monks than porridge? I'm afraid the subsequent merit points won't be so easy to fish!"

To this, Luo Chen had a different opinion.

"Most of those who died in front were cannon fodder. Even the two great cultivators we slaughtered, one was dragged down by the sect, and one was seriously injured and caught by us."

"The real elites are still behind!"

"Don't worry about these, restore your spiritual power as much as possible and maintain a certain state. Don't mess up later and implicate me."

Luo Chen said while closing his eyes.

Pills were absorbed and refined roughly while he was adjusting his breath.

Chu Kui gave a chuckle.

"Don't worry, how could I hold you back."

When night fell again.

Where the Nine Thunder Mountains are, the killing is still continuing!

The intensity is even worse than before.

The scope of the battle is not limited to the two thunder mountains, the Seventh and Eighth.

In the ten thousand miles of yellow sand wasteland, there are countless cultivator escape lights.

Most of them are cultivators who have fought real fire and killed until their eyes are red, and have unknowingly separated from the core range of the war.

In this tragic battlefield, two figures emerged from the flowing sand.

"How is the recovery?"

"Eighty percent state is there, if I encounter danger, I have secret techniques that can erupt with stronger strength than at the peak."

"Very good, our next target is ten miles to the southeast. There are three true disciples of the Yan Alliance there, chasing and killing Qing Dan Valley cultivators. The realm is not high, only one mid-stage Foundation Establishment."

"Can do, eat them!"

After a simple conversation, the two figures did not hesitate and each drove their escape light away.

Before long.

An abrupt battle broke out suddenly.

A giant staff shadow smashed down, and a mist of blood scattered.

Simple, and fast!

After Luo Chen put away the spoils of war, he didn't look at the few Qing Dan Valley disciples who survived by luck.

Recalling his flying sword, he fled to the distance with Chu Kui.

On the ground, the few Qing Dan Valley disciples who survived the disaster looked at their departing backs with suspicion.

"Who are they, why save us?"

The question was asked by an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

It is rare to do a favor without asking for a reward, especially since they are true disciples of a large sect, they should have left a name to get the friendship of Qing Dan Valley.

But they came and went in a hurry, without even a word of conversation.

One of them suddenly blurted out.

"Isn't that Alchemist Danchenzi?"

"Hmm?"

Facing the doubts of others, the cultivator said excitedly: "I definitely didn't recognize him wrong, he is Alchemist Danchenzi, and also our Tao family's guest elder!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions became quite interesting.

Luo Chen became famous in the Yuding Region starting from Qing Dan Valley.

After many years, even though that battle for the Dao Seed was impressive, Luo Chen was not a close person after all.

Coupled with his defeat of the Seven Sons of Qing Dan, many people were unwilling to think of him.

At first glance, they didn't recognize him.

But Tao family cultivators are different, Luo Chen also has the name of Tao family guest elder.

He naturally remembers it more clearly than anyone else.

The other few Qing Dan Valley disciples looked at each other, no one could have imagined that it was Luo Chen who saved them.

While the Tao family cultivator was excited, memories kept emerging in his mind.

"I also remembered the other person, it is the famous Tianlan loose cultivator Chu Kui recruited by the He family!"

"Unexpectedly, they actually joined forces."

Seeing him looking like he wanted to continue, the cultivator beside him couldn't stand it anymore.

"This place is dangerous, go back to the station first!"

"Okay!"

Luo Chen and Chu Kui naturally didn't care how the people behind them judged them.

They didn't think about hiding their heads and showing their faces either.

There are only a few conditions for hunting merit points.

The battlefield is complex, and it is impossible to collect all spoils of war as merit certificates every time, so it is best to show one's true face, which can also serve as proof of battle achievements.

For them, today's hunting difficulty was relatively easy.

Because the battlefield range expanded.

Chu Kui assisted Luo Chen in performing the Water Mirror Technique, plus Luo Chen's pair of spirit eyes, they could easily find prey.

As the two moved and shifted, they constantly searched for prey and gave thunderous slashes.

Unknowingly, more and more Foundation Establishment cultivators died under their hands!

When the sky gradually brightened.

Two figures quietly returned to the station where the Luo Tian Society was located on the Sixth Mountain.

"President!"

"Fellow Daoist Chu, you..."

Luo Chen waved his hand, "No need to say more, do a good job of vigilance, we need to adjust our breath."

Duan Feng nodded.

However, looking at the two filled with a thick bloody smell, the worry in his eyes was still uncontrollable.

That kind of madness suppressed by calmness can only be vaguely felt by those who are close and familiar.

"How is the President?" Xu Huanzhen asked in a low voice.

Duan Feng shook his head and said softly with some horror: "They seem to have killed until their eyes are red."

Killed until their eyes are red?

For this answer, Xu Huanzhen was a bit confused.

How many people did they kill to make Duan Feng, who has always been fearless, so horrified.

Inside the room!

Luo Chen swallowed two Dragon-Rising Pills in one breath and sat cross-legged.

Not only that, in his hands, he was also holding a middle-grade spirit stone in each!

This is a technique Chu Kui personally taught him yesterday.

Obtained from the He family of Qing Dan Valley, this technique can be used to absorb the spiritual energy in spirit stones, but it is only limited to spirit stones above middle-grade.

He must quickly restore his state!

Too much slaughter, although he has never encountered life danger, the loss of spiritual power in his body is real.

Even with his spiritual power far exceeding his peers, he now has only about sixty percent left.

Chu Kui is even worse than him!

The opponent refined that Qitian Staff magic treasure to about seventy percent, and operated it extremely skillfully.

This led to him being very dependent on that magic treasure during battle.

"The environment of the Nine Thunder Mountains battlefield is too harsh, the spiritual energy is violent and complex, even if my cultivation technique has an automatic gas recovery function, it is still in short supply."

"Fortunately, I have pills and spirit stones as supplements."

"I think the disciples of the six sects also have similar means."

"The only ones lacking such means are the vassals of each family, as well as those loose cultivators."

Luo Chen does not sympathize with those loose cultivators.

Since they participated in this war, they must be prepared.

The only pity is that if they continue to fight like this, I am afraid that the loose cultivator forces in the Yuding Region will be folded seven or eight out of ten.

By then, the Yuding Region will really become a situation where the sect is dominant.

Although it is already like this now.

Suddenly!

Luo Chen, who was changing the middle-grade spirit stone, paused.

"Sect dominant?"

A guess that made his back cold emerged in his mind.

After he connected everything that happened in these twenty years, Luo Chen murmured:

"What a ruthless calculation, what a poisonous decision!"
