Chapter 404: Battle of Luo Tian (End)

When Luo Chen broke free from the Core Formation spiritual pressure and rushed straight at Zheng Xian.

In the nine-day clouds, under the biting gale.

Three light sounds of surprise came in succession.

They seemed not to have expected that a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator could break free from the spiritual pressure unique to Core Formation cultivators.

In the cultivation world, although cross-realm challenges were rare, they were not non-existent.

However, such things often only existed within small levels within the same realm.

Once it involved a battle across great realms, it was almost a one-sided situation, with few who could overcome the strong with the weak.

Qi Refining versus Foundation Establishment involved the huge gap between spiritual sense release and spiritual power liquefaction.

Unless that Qi Refining cultivator had a powerful soul and sufficiently vigorous spiritual power, and even then, they had to have other means to fight across realms.

However, the Shanhai Realm was vast, and Qi Refining defeating Foundation Establishment would appear from time to time.

But!

Foundation Establishment defeating Core Formation was almost unheard of.

What people could hear were often who had exchanged a few moves with a Core Formation cultivator, or who had escaped from the hands of a Core Formation True Person.

Almost no one had heard of a Foundation Establishment True Person being able to kill a Core Formation True Person across realms.

Even just a few years ago, Luo Chen killing Di Wanyun, this kind of example placed in front of them, had no persuasiveness.

In the eyes of outsiders, this was just Luo Chen taking advantage of a loophole, coincidentally triggering the means left behind by a Soul Transformation great power.

In front of the means left behind by a Soul Transformation great power, what did a Core Formation True Person count for?

A slight friction, and they would be dead or injured!

As for Core Formation fighting Soul Transformation, or Soul Transformation fighting Void Refinement, that was even more of a fairy tale!

The reason for this was because every realm had a huge transformation similar to Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment.

And between these two realms of Foundation Establishment and Core Formation, the gap that lay across was the transformation of spiritual sense and magic power.

The transformation of these two would produce a unique aura.

Spiritual pressure!

Spiritual sense and spiritual power combined to form magic power.

When magic power was wielded, it naturally had a superior suppression over the liquefied spiritual power of Foundation Establishment True Persons.

This kind of suppression was called spiritual pressure by the world.

Among them, there was both absolute suppression of spiritual power and suppression of soul foundation.

Back then on the Jilei Mountain battlefield.

When Luo Chen first faced Di Wanyun, he had almost no power to fight back, and even escaping was very difficult.

That was because he was covered by spiritual pressure without knowing it.

If it weren't for Chu Kui borrowing the Core Formation power he had obtained from somewhere to break Di Wanyun's spiritual pressure on Luo Chen, Luo Chen wouldn't even have been able to escape.

Qin Tairan was in his prime, and his realm was extremely profound.

If he took action, Luo Chen should have been captured without a fight.

Who could have expected that the other party actually broke free.

And even rushed toward Zheng Xian.

Above the sky, the Ailao Mountain elder's eyes flashed with a different color.

"Such a strong physique!"

As soon as this was said, Elder Long beside him instantly understood his meaning.

Luo Chen didn't break the high-level suppression of magic power with spiritual power, but purely used his physique to crack this aspect of suppression.

However, it was still wrong!

"How did he crack the suppression on the soul? Could it be that this child's soul foundation is already not weaker than a Core Formation cultivator?"

This was absolutely impossible!

Luo Chen's current realm, everyone could see clearly.

It was just the appearance of having just entered the seventh level of Foundation Establishment.

Coupled with his young age, no matter how strong his soul foundation was, how strong could it be?

"Could it be that he has a magic treasure related to the soul?" Elder Long secretly thought.

In reality!

It was just as they guessed.

Luo Chen indeed had a magic treasure related to the soul.

Lanke Chess Piece!

Ever since he killed Di Wanyun on the ninth Jilei Mountain, Luo Chen knew that he had slapped the Yan Alliance hard in the face.

Dying would have been fine.

If he were alive, the Yan Alliance would definitely not let it go.

Even if he had the status of an Ice Fortress guest elder, it would be of no use.

Unless he shrank in the Ice Fortress all year round and didn't go out at all.

Otherwise, he would sooner or later be sought out.

But that was absolutely impossible; how could a great man live under others for long!

He, Luo Chen, was not without his own foundation and his own career.

Therefore, ever since he left the Soul Transformation ruins, he had hidden his tracks and never appeared in public.

Occasionally going out, he also changed his appearance, using the identities of other people in the Luo Tian Society as a cover.

He needed time!

Time to let himself grow, time to let himself possess enough strength to face Core Formation True Persons.

And for the means of Core Formation True Persons, he had studied quite a lot over these years.

Among them, the most threatening to Foundation Establishment True Persons was spiritual pressure!

Once Core Formation spiritual pressure was released, low-level cultivators almost had no power to resist, completely at their mercy.

At that time, he was thinking about how to face this huge threat.

Only by crossing this hurdle could one consider how to fight.

Finally, he thought of a way.

Using the third-grade desolate ancient body to crack the suppression of spiritual power.

Then using the soul defense attribute of the Lanke Black Chess to shield the spiritual sense pressure of Core Formation True Persons!

The latter's assumption was not without basis.

He still remembered.

During the battle of Xiankong Valley, when he fell to the gate of the Soul Transformation cave dwelling, Di Wanyun launched a spiritual sense attack.

But it was defended by the black light halo emitted by his Lanke Black Chess.

In other words, this magic treasure could indeed play a role against the spiritual sense attacks of Core Formation True Persons.

Since Foundation Establishment, he had obtained this treasure from the Great River Ghost City and had been refining it with heart.

The refining time was even longer than that of the Profound Xuan Xuan Huo Jian!

He knew quite a lot about this magic treasure, and could even use it to protect Gu Caiyi's soul to enter the Ghost God Asking Heart Realm to simulate Foundation Establishment.

Therefore, over these years, he had been exploring how to let the Lanke Black Chess deal with Core Formation spiritual pressure.

Finally, he found a way!

When the proficiency of "Ming Shen Po Sha" reached the grandmaster level, a thin defensive net was derived outside his sea of consciousness.

It was derived from will.

This defense was very thin and weak.

And it could only play a slight role against cultivators with lower realms than him.

However, this defense was completely derived from him.

He used it as the lead, borrowed the power of the Lanke Black Chess, and after years of exploration, finally perfected his means.

At this moment, outside his sea of consciousness, a thin golden edge wrapped in a thick black light halo was slowly spreading.

Whenever Qin Tairan's spiritual sense pressure roared over, the black light halo would push outward like a wave, pushing it back to the outside world.

In this way!

Physique breaks magic power suppression, Lanke Black Chess breaks spiritual sense suppression.

Spiritual pressure was useless against him!

When Qin Tairan took action, Zheng Xian completely set his heart at ease.

How powerful was a Core Formation True Person!

Dealing with a mere great cultivator at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment was simply the gap between the bright moon and fireflies, just a matter of hand-to-hand capture.

He looked at Luo Chen relaxedly, his eyes full of resentment.

How despicable the other party was before!

Borrowing the earth fire eruption, hiding within it, trying to kill him instantly.

If it weren't for the evil energy he had nurtured in his chest, he would have almost lost his life.

Even so, one arm was forcibly torn off by the other party's terrifying physique.

If he had snatched that arm back immediately, he would have had a way to reconnect it.

But the other party directly melted it in the raging earth fire.

Completely cutting off his thoughts.

This wasn't just as simple as an arm!

A person with incomplete limbs could be said to have their Great Dao severed.

Even if he won this battle and could return to the Yan Alliance, it was feared that Core Formation would be hopeless.

What was the use of even the best medical skills?

Reconnecting an arm was ultimately not the original one.

When breaking through realms, it was the biggest hidden danger.

"Die, die, only by dying can I vent the hatred in my heart!"

Just as he was expecting Luo Chen's miserable end with pleasure and resentment.

He actually perceived something wrong!

The other party's expression was calm, his gaze cold, not panicked at all.

Even looking like nothing had happened, flying toward him.

Its speed was extremely fast!

There were even illusory wings derived from his back.

With the other party's speed, he definitely couldn't escape.

"How is this possible?"

"Does he not be affected by the Core Formation cultivator's spiritual pressure?"

In a hurry, Zheng Xian couldn't hesitate, subconsciously driving his spiritual power and waving the feather fan in his hand.

Large sheets of fire light gushed out.

The scorching high temperature seemed to be able to melt the void.

This kind of attack, even Chu Kui, who borrowed Core Formation power, didn't dare to take it head-on.

"As long as I hold on for a while, Elder Qin will definitely be able to arrive and capture him!"

Waving the feather fan frantically, he looked at the sky.

Faintly, a red escape light fell from the sky, flying toward this place.

However!

A glance from the corner of his eye made something horrifying appear.

Amidst the sky-filling fire light.

Luo Chen didn't dodge or evade, rushing forward wildly, actually forcibly walking out of it.

Its speed was extremely fast, completely exceeding Zheng Xian's reaction.

Almost in an instant, he came to his front.

Profound Xuan Xuan Huo Jian stabbed straight!

Fire Feather Fan waved again!

The two collided, exploding with violent vibration.

Zheng Xian flew backward involuntarily.

Luo Chen, however, seemed completely unaffected, a roc spreading its wings, and leaped onto his head.

Five fingers bent, grabbing from afar.

Crack!

"What is he grabbing?"

Zheng Xian asked this question blankly.

In his eyes, however, he saw a headless, broken-armed remnant body, holding a feather fan, falling lightly toward the earth.

"That is... my body?"

Swish!

His figure moved, Luo Chen grabbed Zheng Xian's head, and after a few flashes, he rose to the sky above Danxia Peak.

Arriving at the high sky.

Opposite him, Qin Tairan was full of anger, stepping down from the sky step by step.

Luo Chen stopped his figure, looking at the other party coldly.

"Qin Tairan, you are a Yan Alliance Core Formation elder, why take action against me, do you want to represent the Yan Alliance and go to war with my Ice Fortress?"

"Shameless junior, you are also worthy!" Qin Tairan was furious, "Go die!"

Not giving Luo Chen any chance to argue, he opened his mouth and spat, and a tiny red dot appeared in front of him.

The red dot grew as it met the wind, and in an instant, it turned into a furnace the size of a zhang.

Pushing with one hand, this furnace rumbled and smashed toward Luo Chen with an unstoppable trend.

Since your physique is strong enough, then I will use this large furnace to smash you to death.

Since you are good at fire methods, then I will use the true fire in the furnace to burn everything you have!

Facing this unstoppable strike, Luo Chen's expression changed slightly.

He wanted to dodge with extreme speed.

However, just as he was about to move, a terrifying suppression power was emitted from the furnace.

Even with his third-grade physique comparable to a desolate ancient monster, he was actually extremely sluggish.

Although he could move, his speed was too slow. 【404-161

To dodge, it was certainly impossible to dodge.

Since that was the case, then don't dodge!

Luo Chen's expression was ferocious; he curled his ten fingers and thrust both palms out simultaneously, and two claw shadows suddenly appeared in the void.

Bang!

Bang!

The moment they made contact, a massive, overwhelming force was transmitted.

Forced into a corner, Luo Chen was actually pressed back frantically.

Boom!

In the eyes of outsiders.

As soon as the Flame Alliance Jin Dan made a move, he used a giant furnace to smash Dan Chenzi, sending him flying backward for several hundred feet.

He was even smashed directly into Danxia Peak.

Not only that, but a surging flow of flames followed, as if to refine Luo Chen alive.

Because Luo Chen was smashed into the mountain, the terrifying force even caused a section of the mountain to collapse.

Amidst the sky-filling smoke and dust, the flame flow burrowed inside.

In the distance.

Qin Tairan frowned, "No wonder he could kill Di Wanyun; he really has some tricks, surviving a strike from me without dying."

"However, your good luck ends here."

With a cold snort, he moved his body and stepped onto that red furnace.

It rumbled as it flew toward Danxia Peak.

He was actually going to carry out an act of total extermination!

Just as he approached, his brows suddenly twitched.

Above Danxia, a chilling murderous intent suddenly erupted!

The Seven-Colored Danxia Array, which should have been broken, suddenly soared into the sky.

"Hmph, an array you voluntarily withdrew? It still retains a tiny bit of residual power. However, you want to rely on this array to protect your president?"

"Wishful thinking!"

At this instant, his gaze fell upon the peak of Danxia.

There, a Foundation Establishment cultivator sat alone inside a stone house.

He pointed his fingers like a sword, pointing from afar toward Qin Tairan.

As he laboriously thrust out his sword fingers.

Above Danxia, countless ringing sounds suddenly erupted.

At first listen, it sounded like ten thousand swords ringing in unison, but listening closely, there were only twenty-one sword chimes.

In an instant, a three-foot-long sword condensed above the seven-colored light curtain.

At that moment, the morning sun leaped over the sea of clouds, and purple mist sprinkled over the heavens and earth.

A wisp of purple mist merged into the seven colors.

The three-foot-long sword suddenly transformed into a three-foot purple blade!

"Go!"

After releasing this move, Min Longyu had not a single shred of spiritual energy left in his entire body.

The hundreds of thousands of spirit stones that had once been placed in the room, including the three high-grade spirit stones Luo Chen had given him, all turned into powder.

That seven-colored light curtain, furthermore, had no color left at all.

Between heaven and earth, only the three-foot purple blade shot out.

Facing this sword, Qin Tairan snorted coldly and stomped a single foot!

The furnace beneath his feet released another flame flow, rushing toward that purple blade.

The two collided in an instant.

The flame flow dissipated, and the purple blade vanished inch by inch, finally returning to nothingness.

At the peak of Danxia, Min Longyu spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and let his right hand hang down powerlessly.

"President, Long Yu has tried his best."

All his methods, all his attainments in array Dao, had been utilized to the extreme.

He had even borrowed a trace of magic treasure aura from twenty-one magic treasure flying swords with the help of the array's power.

In the end, he had only managed to condense this one Jin Dan strike.

Yet all of this, in front of the mid-stage Jin Dan Qin Tairan, was nothing more than scratching an itch through a boot, almost like a gentle breeze brushing his face.

Qin Tairan curled his lips in disdain, "Petty tricks, and you dare to show them off?"

He resumed his stopped footsteps.

His powerful spiritual sense allowed him to perceive.

Amidst the sky-filling smoke and dust of Danxia Peak, a scorching aura was rising.

"I knew you weren't dead yet, but in the end, you're just lingering on your last breath!"

It was also at this moment.

Above the nine heavens, a green rainbow descended.

"Fellow Daoist, let it end here!"

Qin Tairan had a mocking smile on his lips, "Long Quan, just by relying on you, you want to stop me?"

As he spoke, raging murderous intent permeated the air.

Long Quan's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously said, "Dan Chenzi is a guest of my Qing Dan Valley and a protégé of the Daoist family; give me some face."

"You, a mere second-level Jin Dan, are you worthy of having face?"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Before Long Quan could even speak, Fei Ming of Mount Ailao mocked from high above, "He's not worthy? Are you worthy? As a dignified Jin Dan True Person, it's one thing to attack a Foundation Establishment junior. But you failed to kill him twice in a row—oh, wait, three times—and you even released a wisp of source-less fire nurtured within your natal magic treasure. Tsk tsk... You truly are a law enforcement elder of the Flame Alliance! If this 'face' of yours gets out, the entire Yuding Region will have to bow down to you."

"You!"

Qin Tairan was furious, staring at Fei Ming.

"What, you, this defeated opponent, also want to protect that brat?"

Having his wound poked again, Fei Ming's expression darkened.

He said with a forced smile, "I have no connection with him, why would I protect him? However, if you want to test your skills, I don't mind keeping you company for a while."

Hearing him say this, Qin Tairan actually calmed down.

Looking at the two, a long sword appeared in his hand with a swish.

The sword tip pointed upward, directly at Long Quan who was blocking the way.

This series of actions caused Long Quan's expression to change drastically.

"The two of you, come at me together!"

"Today, I will kill that little thief!"

At this moment, stepping on the crimson furnace and holding a long sword, he was one against two, yet he had gained the absolute upper hand in momentum.

Fei Ming frowned; at this moment, he was actually in a bit of a dilemma.

Just as he had said, he had no personal relationship with Luo Chen and had no need to wade into these muddy waters.

Moreover, Qin Tairan's goal had already been exposed; he hadn't come for the management rights of Tianlan Xiancheng at all, but to kill Luo Chen and restore the Flame Alliance's reputation.

Under these circumstances, fighting him would yield no benefits.

But now, the other party had already issued the challenge, and if he were to show cowardice...

Like him, Long Quan was also somewhat indecisive.

Protecting Luo Chen was merely an act of returning a favor as requested by the Daoist Tao Wan.

He had originally thought that the other party would give him some face out of consideration for Qing Dan Valley.

But as it currently stood, Qin Tairan's determination to kill Luo Chen was extremely firm.

So, this favor, which was supposed to be easy, was likely not going to be easy to fulfill.

He glanced at the hesitant Fei Ming and cursed inwardly that things were bad.

If Fei Ming were to lead the fight and he assisted from the side, they might be able to battle Qin Tairan.

But now that the other party had no fighting spirit, how could he possibly block Qin Tairan?

Long Quan clenched his fists, sensing the vigorous and flourishing aura within Danxia Peak, and muttered in his heart, "Luo Chen, oh Luo Chen, of all people to provoke, you had to provoke the Flame Alliance cultivators, who have always been overbearing and tyrannical. Now, what am I to do?"

Facing the indecision of the two.

Qin Tairan understood their thoughts in an instant.

Immediately, he let out a roar.

"If you're not going to fight, and you're not going to retreat, why are you still staying here?"

"Get lost!!!"

A single "get lost" resounded for a thousand miles around.

The mighty sound waves echoed endlessly with only those words: Get lost! Get lost! Get lost...

Elder Long Quan was actually forced back three steps by the sheer shout.

Realizing his own cowardly retreat, Long Quan's face instantly flushed red.

Could it be that today, he was going to let him kill someone right under his nose?

If this matter were to spread in the future, where would his face be?

It was also at this moment.

A bone-chilling, icy voice seemed to come from the Nine Netherworlds.

"The one who should get lost is you!"

Accompanying it was a piercing, brilliant sword light.

Qin Tairan turned abruptly, slashing down heavily with the long sword in his hand.

Clang!

The piercing sword light dispersed in an instant, transforming into countless icy intentions that wrapped around him.

In just a moment, Qin Tairan's hair, eyelashes, and beard were covered in frost.

"Hmph!"

With a low shout, surging fire-type magic power gushed out, melting the frost.

Not only that, he kicked with one foot, and the furnace beneath his feet flew out with a rumble, heading straight for the newcomer.

A flash of white light, and a slender figure pushed out her left palm, seemingly slow but actually fast.

Layers of ice walls sealed the heavens and froze the earth.

Within the endless ice layers, the furnace was actually frozen solid.

Qin Tairan's expression changed slightly, and he pinched a spirit incantation with his fingers.

Inside the furnace, flame flow erupted, melting countless ice layers, and then it rumbled back to his side.

Only then did he have the opportunity to see the other party clearly.

"It's you!"

Fairy Jueqing glanced at Danxia Peak before letting her gaze fall upon Qin Tairan.

"Two choices: either get lost, or die here!"

"You!"

Qin Tairan pointed at her; never in his life had he been scolded like this.

However, recalling the moment they had just clashed, he couldn't help but have his expression change abruptly.

"You've advanced to the mid-stage of Jin Dan?"

Fairy Jueqing did not answer him, but instead swept her gaze toward the earth below.

It was a scene of devastation, with wreckage everywhere.

The blood of countless cultivators had almost dyed Danxia red.

Severed limbs, broken bodies, and weapons were scattered all over the ground.

Because of the intervention of the Jin Dan True Persons, the fighting had ceased.

Yet the bloodshot eyes of those cultivators declared the tragic intensity of the previous war.

She did not speak, but Qin Tairan's heart sank deeper and deeper.

Fei Ming himself was at the fourth level of Jin Dan.

Fairy Jueqing had now also advanced to the fourth level, and her ice and snow methods were naturally extremely effective at restraining his fire-type ones.

Plus, there was Long Quan of Qing Dan Valley eyeing him covetously from the side.

If they were to truly fight, he would have no chance of survival!

Suddenly!

Fairy Jueqing raised her head abruptly, staring fixedly at him.

"It seems you don't want to leave."

"It just so happens that the war between the two great sects hasn't stopped yet, so you might as well stay!"

As she spoke, the ice sword floating beside her shot out.

High in the sky, the Mount Ailao Jin Dan True Person, Fei Ming, also let out a long laugh.

"Perfect, the Sword Sect never gave an explanation for killing my son-in-law, Fei Bowen, back then. Today, I'll borrow the head of you, a running dog of the Sword Sect, to comfort his spirit in heaven!"

As he spoke, a large seal came crashing down with a rumble.

Along with this seal came a streak of green light that Long Quan had silently unleashed.

In an instant, all three attacked together.

Qin Tairan had been on guard, but even so, he was still terrified.

"A bunch of bastards!"

"Burn!"

He slapped the furnace in front of him, and endless flame flow instantly gushed out, sweeping away the attacks from all three sides simultaneously.

Then, with a leap, he fled into the distance.

Fairy Jueqing snorted coldly and pursued him directly.

Fei Ming smiled ferociously; he wouldn't miss the chance to beat a dog that had fallen into the water.

Especially since this woman, Fairy Jueqing, was famous for her combat power within the Ice Fortress, and now that she had advanced to the mid-stage of Jin Dan, she was likely even stronger.

Moreover, she had a very strong restraint against fire-type cultivators.

With the two of them joining forces, they would definitely make Qin Tairan pay today!

Long Quan had just taken a step.

But after thinking about it, he stopped.

He shook his head and flew back to the nine heavens.

"Daoist, I've returned."

Tao Wan gave a hum, her gaze sweeping over a certain place where a faint, slow escape light was trying its best to fly.

Long Quan raised his brows, "Should I kill that junior, Qin Junjie?"

Tao Wan shook her head.

"Forget it, the Flame Alliance Jin Dan has no shame, but we in Qing Dan Valley still want to keep ours."

"Let him go; he won't be able to stir up any big waves."

Long Quan understood.

With a sweep of his spiritual sense, he detected Luo Chen's location.

"Should I go help?"

Tao Wan waved her sleeve, "No need. With his abilities, as long as a Jin Dan doesn't make a move, he has almost no rivals. Let's pursue them; I really want to see why Fairy Jueqing is being so ruthless."

Long Quan's eyes lit up.

This was exactly what he wanted!

That old scoundrel Qin Tairan had almost made him lose face today.

If he found an opportunity later, he wouldn't mind landing a hit to vent the frustration in his heart!

Inside the belly of Danxia Mountain.

A huge figure slowly changed in an instant, returning to his original size in the blink of an eye.

He stepped out from the smoke and dust.

Sima Hui Niang and Xu Xiaoliu were waiting outside.

Seeing that he was safe and sound, Sima Hui Niang couldn't help but heave a long sigh of relief.

Xu Xiaoliu immediately spoke: "Fairy Jueqing was in seclusion at the Ice Fortress to break through her realm. When I went to report, she was consolidating her mid-stage Jin Dan realm, so I returned a bit late. Please forgive me, President!"

It was late.

It took a full few months to invite her out of the mountain.

But she had also arrived just in time.

So coincidental, in fact, that it made Luo Chen feel she had done it on purpose.

Luo Chen suppressed the restless and gloomy energy in his heart and walked outside.

"What crime do you have?"

"Inviting Fairy Jueqing out is a great merit!"

"But for now, let's deal with those scumbags first!"

Xu Xiaoliu's expression brightened; he had truly suffered quite a bit over these past few months.

Being praised by the President could be considered bitter ending and sweet beginning.

Sima Hui Niang followed closely behind Luo Chen, reporting the current situation.

"The overall battle situation has been brought under control after the reinforcements arrived."

"However, with the Flame Alliance elder defeated and Zheng Xian killed by you, those vassal cultivators are all trying to flee now that they have no leader."

"President, what do you think..."

Luo Chen paused his steps, a flash of ferocity crossing his face.

"Kill!"

"Pursue and kill!"

"Don't let a single one go!"

"Even if they flee back to their hometowns, raze their entire clans and level their mountain gates!"

As soon as he finished speaking, spiritual energy wings appeared behind him, and he suddenly rushed out.

Like an arrow released from a bow, he charged into the broken battlefield.

Sima Hui Niang froze in place.

She had never seen Luo Chen with such violent emotions.

Even if there had been similar situations before, they were mostly calm actions taken after weighing the benefits.

Now, however, he was recklessly killing for the sake of killing.

Vaguely, she thought of the previous battle.

Was it the sense of powerlessness brought by that Flame Alliance Jin Dan?

Or was it that Fairy Jueqing's late arrival had made him displeased?

The answer to the question was no longer at hand, as the person involved was gone, so naturally, she couldn't get it.

She could only sigh softly, instruct Xu Xiaoliu to take care of Min Longyu, and then step onto the battlefield.

Just as she reached the battlefield.

The scene seen in the woman's eyes was already a one-sided massacre.

Chu Kui, Wang Yuan, Luo Feng, Chen Xiuli, and the Great Elder of Lianyun, five great cultivators, were scattered in all directions, reaping the battle situation.

Furthermore, Kang Dongyue, Xing Zonghan, Li Yixian, Yue Chong, Qiu Liangyue, and a group of other experts were coordinating with the remaining Foundation Establishment True Persons of the Luotian Society, roaming the area.

And among them, the most eye-catching was undoubtedly that constantly flashing red light.

One after another, the screams of cultivators rang out.

Each sound represented the fall of a Foundation Establishment True Person.

Sima Hui Niang frowned and began to gather the Luotian Society cultivators, while briefly counting the battle losses.

This decisive battle came quickly and ended quickly.

Especially after Luo Chen's first appearance, the battle situation had changed.

After drawing out that Jin Dan True Person, the battlefield had even fallen into a temporary silence.

Now, it was just the aftermath.

But no matter how quickly it ended, the casualties were still shocking.

When Luo Chen, stained with the scent of blood, arrived in front of her.

Sima Hui Niang reported the simplest and most intuitive casualty situation.

"In terms of Foundation Establishment cultivators, Bian Zhen, Su Xiaolin, and Gui Jiang were killed in battle. Li Yingzhang was severely wounded, Xu Huanzhen was heavily injured, and his second-tier predatory eagle was also blown up; Murong Qinglian suffered a backlash from her magic treasure and lost a palm; Gu Caiyi's ghost general was scattered, and Bai Meiling fled into the Soul-Nurturing Banner with no response. Duan Feng and Min Longyu are unconscious."

One name after another was read out, representing the losses of the Luotian Society time and again.

The later they had reached Foundation Establishment, the greater the casualties.

Luo Chen listened, the veins on his forehead throbbing.

Zhou Yuanli approached from the side and said softly: "Among the Qi Refining cultivators, hundreds died, including Qin Liangchen, Liu Qiang, Xiugu, Li Yingjun, Chi Junran, Hao Tianye... all killed in battle."

There was no list of the wounded.

Nor was there a list of deaths for the lower-realm Qi Refining cultivators.

What there were, were all late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, and those whom Luo Chen was slightly familiar with.

After hearing the entire list, Luo Chen closed his eyes.

As his spiritual sense spread out, he saw Murong Qinglian holding Qin Liangchen's corpse and crying bitterly with one hand, saw Li Yingzhang and Yuan Dongsheng piecing together a body on the ground, Ceng Yilong kneeling and collecting his mother's corpse, and the blood-stained Xu Huanzhen sadly stroking the bristling feathers of a young eagle...

In the distance, Feng Xia was feeding medicine, using the medical skills she had taught herself to treat Duan Feng's injuries; the cultivators of the Medicine Hall were spontaneously gathering beside Bian Zhen's corpse, and the Luotian Society cultivators he was familiar with were silently bringing back Su Xiaolin, who only had a head left, to Danxia Peak...

"How could it be like this? How could it be like this?"

Two consecutive "how could it be like this" were asked of others, and also as if asking himself.

Casualties among Foundation Establishment True Persons were within expectations.

Once he appeared, he would inevitably be coveted by the Flame Alliance Jin Dan.

So from the very beginning, he had made up his mind to instantly kill some threatening great cultivators to settle the battle situation.

To create a favorable situation for the Foundation Establishment True Persons of the Luotian Society.

And he had indeed done so, instantly killing several great cultivators and severely wounding two, including the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Zheng Xian!

In this process, some friends he was familiar with might die, but he had already prepared himself mentally.

Who in the world can avoid death?

Even he, Luo Chen, after showing his face, was under the immense pressure of facing a mid-stage Jin Dan cultivator, and had long been prepared for a life-and-death battle.

But!

In terms of Qi Refining cultivators, the Luotian Society had an absolute advantage.

He could not accept such casualties.

Zhou Yuanli sighed, "The number of enemy Foundation Establishment True Persons was simply too large; even if they were slightly dispersed, a casual move would cause massive casualties to the Qi Refining cultivators. Brother Qin and Liu Qiang were killed while supporting me, joining forces to hold back a Foundation Establishment early-stage cultivator. Yuan Dongsheng and his wife led the Agriculture Hall cultivators to help Li Yingzhang, but were hit by a single strike from the mid-stage Foundation Establishment Zheng Kejian, killing over ten people, and Li Yingjun died among them. Xiugu, however, was killed by a Foundation Establishment cultivator while trying to protect her son..."

"President..."

Luo Chen raised his hand.

In a short time, he seemed to have already accepted reality.

"Zhou Yuanli, take people to clean up the battlefield."

"Gu Caiyi, take people to light the Soul-Gathering Incense and try your best to recall the scattered souls of the Luotian Society cultivators who died in battle."

"Qu Lingjun, take my token and go to Tianlan Xiancheng to invite the Divine Physician Sun and her disciples to come and treat the wounded. Also, Mi Li, take all the healing elixirs that the Medicine Hall has hoarded over the years and bring them out to treat everyone."

"Sima Hui Niang!"

The others took their orders and left.

Sima Hui Niang waited quietly for orders.

"I'll leave the matters here at Danxia Peak to you; I'll also leave Chu Kui and Wang Yuan for you to use."

Sima Hui Niang was puzzled, "And you?"

Luo Chen turned and walked toward the group of Foundation Establishment True Persons gathered over there.

"Some things, once started, naturally should have an ending."

Sima Hui Niang opened her mouth, and then realized something.

She didn't say much; what she needed to do was guard his back and handle these matters well for him.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, congratulations!"

The first sentence was so jarring.

Yet Luo Chen knew that the other party was speaking from the bottom of their heart.

Under the attack of a powerful enemy several times their own strength, the Luotian Society had fought and won; how could this not be a great joy!

Furthermore, a Jin Dan True Person had personally made a move, yet still failed to reverse the battle situation.

Such a battle result was enough to leave people dumbfounded.

Looking at the familiar faces, Luo Chen had no intention of reminiscing and spoke directly.

"Everyone, I feel bad for making you come here for nothing."

"How about we go out for a walk?"

Go out for a walk?

Luo Feng was startled, and then realized something.

He and Chen Xiuli looked at each other and nodded in tacit agreement.

The others also understood what Luo Chen was going to do.

After the Jin Dan True Person left just now, the battlefield was extremely chaotic, and many people had fled.

What Luo Chen wanted to do now was to exterminate them all and pull out the roots!

"We should go together!"

"I also really want to go to the Yuhua Sect and see what's so mysterious about the so-called Yuhua True Scripture?"

"They can do the first day, so we can naturally do the fifteenth; Fellow Daoist Luo, tell us what to do, and we'll follow."

"I was just worried I hadn't fought to my heart's content."

Facing everyone's agreement, Luo Chen nodded.

The footsteps he was about to take suddenly stopped.

He turned his head to look at the surrounding onlookers who were still lingering.

His figure gradually floated into the high sky, and he shouted coldly: "Are you still not leaving? Do you want to come to my Danxia Peak as guests?"

The cold and stern voice spread in all directions.

Within a few breaths, thousands of cultivators scattered like birds and beasts.

Not a single person remained.

Are you kidding? The Flame Alliance gathered nearly forty Foundation Establishment True Persons, including eight great cultivators, and still couldn't take down the Luotian Society.

With their group of rabble, what could they use to come to Danxia Peak as guests?

Their lives?

Watching the escape lights flying away across the mountains and plains, Luo Chen seemed to feel a bit relieved in his heart.

However, it was far from enough.

"Everyone, let's go!"

"The first place, let's go to that Gunlong Ridge and take a look!"

The words were light, but the murderous intent in them was so thick it made people shiver all over.

This day!

The Danxia Great Battle, which had lasted for seven days, was declared over with the victory of the Luotian Society.

But the chaos shrouding Tianlan Xiancheng was still continuing.

The source of the chaos came from the President of the Luotian Society, Dan Chenzi!

He personally went to Gunlong Ridge and, with peerless fire methods, collapsed mountains and split the earth, stirring up violent earth fires; the Zheng family of Gunlong Ridge, which had been passed down for three hundred years, was thus removed from the records.

The family head, Zheng Kejian, who had luckily fled back, was captured alive by Dan Chenzi.

After destroying the Zheng family, Dan Chenzi did not stop his footsteps.

Leading a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators, he killed his way to Tie Jian Mountain, where the Tie Jian Hall was located; wherever he passed, not even a Qi Refining cultivator survived.

This tyranny was shocking to behold.

And it didn't end there.

The Wei family of Xuchen Mountain was removed from the records.

The great array of the Shen family of Heibao Mountain was broken, and the Foundation Establishment cultivators left behind were still beheaded despite begging for mercy.

The Yuhua Sect received the news relatively early; it had already been plundered before, its disciples and members had scattered, and the entire sect had long existed in name only. After Dan Chenzi arrived, he shattered the main hall of the Yuhua Sect with one palm.

Subsequently, this batch of cultivators transferred the battle to Silver Gorge and caught Xia Hou Kun, who was fleeing back in a sorry state. Dan Chenzi made a move, gouging out his eyes, and the Luotian Society great cultivator Luo Feng beheaded him and plundered the Xia Hou family.

Changliu Gorge, not far from Silver Gorge, was also attacked.

The great array established relying on the gorge was broken in an instant under the joint strike of three great cultivators. As for their fate, it was no better.

This turmoil shocked countless loose cultivators in Tianlan Xiancheng.

There was even a trend of it intensifying.

Some people fishing in troubled waters also began to take advantage of the fire to rob.

However, before they could act, everything had already ended.

Because Fairy Jueqing had returned!

On Tianlan Peak.

Inside the Jia-1 Cave Dwelling.

Luo Chen stood in the center of the main hall, and above him, three Jin Dans were staring at him simultaneously.

The atmosphere here was oppressive and restless.
