Chapter 381: The Two Heroes of Tianlan, the Two Devils of the Battlefield

The mountain wind was biting, and the sounds of shouting and killing from afar were faintly audible in the ears.

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

Seven powerful Foundation Establishment cultivators gathered above the quicksand 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 expression was so gloomy it seemed it would drip water.

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

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 drink and left first.

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

After they left, Chu Kui let out a long breath.

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

He was probably prepared to accompany Luo Chen to fight the five true disciples of the Luo Yun Sect.

He panted heavily, looking at the calm and waveless 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 indifferently.

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

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

"Say what?"

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

Chu Kui was stumped.

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

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

He couldn't imagine a scene where Luo Chen would say those things.

It's just...

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

Pfft...

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

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

He opened his mouth and spat, 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 twitch.

The other party was a master of a society, yet such methods were so skillful.

Luo Chen didn't carefully examine the extra spoils on the other party, but put them all into the storage bag.

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

"Uh..."

Luo Chen smiled softly, "Although my Luo Tian Society was conscripted to participate in the war, in name, we are also part of the four-sect alliance. Our relationship is that of allies, not enemies. Now that the overall situation is not yet decided, we are acting to kill enemies, and there is no fault at all. In this situation, Han Zheng has no reason to attack me."

Once these words were spoken, it was like a divine enlightenment.

Chu Kui understood instantly.

The logic was indeed that logic.

However!

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

Luo Chen twitched the corner of his mouth and said nothing more.

He took advantage of the fact that the other party was a disciple of the Luo Yun Sect, which could be called "deceiving them with righteousness."

But, he also had his own confidence!

Whether it was the reputation of Dan Chenzi or the status of Guest Elder of the Ice Fortress, both were enough to make him inferior to no true disciple of a major sect.

Moreover, what if the other party really wanted to make a move?

If he and Chu Kui couldn't win, couldn't they run?

Once the matter of attacking allies spread, the reputation of the Luo Yun Sect would be ruined. The four sects would be easy to talk about, but those rogue cultivators would probably have to weigh whether they still wanted to sell their lives for the Luo Yun Sect.

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

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

Of course, that was just him.

If it were someone else, under such pressure, even a great cultivator like Chu Kui in the late Foundation Establishment stage would have to know that those who submit to circumstances are wise.

"It's just a bit unkind; they beat people into heavy injuries, but we picked up the bargain in the end." Chu Kui smiled, holding seven or eight storage bags in his hand, full of harvest.

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

Luo Chen snorted softly, 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 pull off another one."

After speaking, he found a remote direction and left directly.

Chu Kui had no objections and followed closely behind him.

Under the night.

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

Encountering lone enemies, they would attack fiercely.

If it were a small group of defeated soldiers, after weighing it, the two would each use great methods 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 who ran fast, they would not chase to the death, trying to get as many merit points as possible.

For slightly larger troops, they would not hesitate to avoid them.

Just like this.

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

"Hunting 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 one counted some late-stage Qi Refining cultivators they slaughtered along the way, this value could be piled up to about three thousand five hundred!

It was only six thousand five away from the requirement to exchange for the superior Core Formation secret technique.

It seemed everything was right before their eyes!

"Luo Chen, the war outside is not over yet, should we 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 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, he had faintly lost his mind amidst the huge temptation and endless slaughter.

This didn't look like his usual self.

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

Raising his head, his spiritual eyes seemed to pierce through the rolling quicksand 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 Jin Dan cultivators on both sides took action, rolling up a hundred miles of yellow sand, fighting earth-shakingly."

Jin Dan taking action meant the war was about to reach its climax.

Once the curtain fell, the war would inevitably stop for a period of time.

Luo Chen snorted, "You only saw that the Seventh Mountain is about to be taken, but you didn't notice that the number of cultivators on the four-sect alliance side is increasing; what this means, you will understand if you think about it."

In battles between both sides, the number of cultivators will only decrease the more they fight.

There is no reason for it to increase.

Unless, the four-sect alliance side is constantly reinforcing troops!

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

Transferred from the Fifth and Sixth Mountains?

Or were they cultivators left behind on the Jin Sha Floating Island?

Chu Kui was horrified!

He couldn't help but blurt out.

"Could it be that the four-sect alliance also wants to take back the Eighth Mountain?"

Luo Chen nodded heavily, "It must be so! Otherwise, Jin Dan cultivators like True Person Yinyue and True Person Linghu who sit in one side would not appear on the battlefield together."

So many Jin Dan cultivators appeared.

It meant that it wouldn't just be a small fight to take back one mountain.

This war will continue!

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

"With more and more cultivators on our side, wouldn't there be 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 the other was caught by us after being seriously injured."

"The real elites are still behind!"

"Don't worry about these, restore your spiritual power as much as possible and maintain a good state. Don't mess up and implicate me when the time comes."

Luo Chen said while closing his eyes.

Pills were crudely absorbed and refined as he adjusted his breath.

Chu Kui smiled.

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

When night fell again.

Where the Nine Thunder Mountains were, the fighting continued!

Even the degree of tragedy was worse than before.

The scope of the battle was not limited to the two thunder mountains of the Seventh and Eighth Mountains.

In the ten-thousand-mile yellow sand wasteland, there were countless cultivator escape lights.

Most of them were cultivators who had fought real fire and were red-eyed, unknowingly separating from the core range of the war.

In this tragic battlefield, two figures emerged from the quicksand.

"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 cultivators of the Green Pill Valley. The realm is not high, only one mid-stage Foundation Establishment."

"Can, eat them!"

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

Not long after.

An abrupt battle suddenly broke out.

The shocking staff shadow smashed down, and a cloud of blood mist flew away.

Simple, and fast!

After Luo Chen put away the spoils, he didn't look at the few Green Pill Valley disciples who survived by luck.

Recalling his flying sword, he and Chu Kui escaped to the distance.

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

"Who are they, why save us?"

The question came from an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

It is rare to do good without seeking reward, especially since they are inner disciples of a major sect; if they were saved, they should have left a name to get the friendliness of the Green Pill Valley.

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

One of them suddenly blurted out.

"Isn't that Dan Chenzi?"

"Hmm?"

Facing others' doubts, the cultivator said excitedly: "I definitely didn't recognize the wrong person, he is Dan Chenzi, and also our Tao family's guest!"

Once these words were spoken, everyone's expressions became a bit wonderful.

Luo Chen became famous in the Jade Cauldron region starting from the Green Pill Valley.

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

Plus he defeated the Seven Sons of Green Pill, so many people didn't want to think of him.

At first glance, they didn't recognize him.

But the Tao family cultivators were different; Luo Chen still had the name of the Tao family's guest.

He naturally remembered it more clearly than anyone else.

The other Green Pill Valley disciples looked at each other, no one expected that it was Luo Chen who saved them.

The Tao family cultivator was excited, and memories kept emerging in his mind.

"I also remembered the other person, it is exactly the famous Tianlan rogue 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 watch anymore.

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

"Okay!"

How the people behind evaluated, Luo Chen and Chu Kui naturally didn't care.

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

There were only a few conditions for hunting merit points.

The battlefield was complex, and it was impossible to collect all spoils as merit proof every time, so it was best to show their true faces, which could also serve as proof for their achievements.

For them, today's hunting difficulty was relatively much easier.

Because the battlefield range expanded.

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

Under the tossing and turning of the two, they kept searching for prey and gave thunderous slaughters.

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 full of thick bloody smell, the worry that could not be suppressed in his eyes remained.

That kind of madness suppressed by calmness could only be faintly felt by those who were close and familiar.

"How is the President?" Xu Huanzhen asked quietly.

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

Killed until their eyes were red?

For this answer, Xu Huanzhen was a bit confused.

How many people did they kill to make Duan Feng, who was always fearless, so afraid.

Inside the house!

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

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

This was the method Chu Kui personally taught him yesterday.

Obtained from the He family of the Green Pill Valley, he could use this method to absorb the spiritual energy in the spirit stone, but it was limited to medium-grade spirit stones or above.

He must quickly restore his state!

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

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

Chu Kui was even worse!

The other party had refined the Qitian Staff magic treasure to about seventy percent, and operated it very 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 method has an automatic gas return 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 who lack such means are the vassals of each family, and those rogue cultivators."

Luo Chen did not sympathize with those rogue cultivators.

Since they participated in this war, they had to be prepared.

The only pity he had was that if they continued to fight like this, I'm afraid the rogue cultivator forces in the Jade Cauldron region would be folded seven or eight times.

By then, the Jade Cauldron region would really become a situation where the sect was dominant.

Although it was already like this now.

Suddenly!

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

"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 muttered:

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