Chapter 418 - Vicious Hands
Mobile Read
"Long Chen, you pervert, get out here!" Suddenly, a voice rang out, shaking the entire Compass Mountain.
Finally, a Bone Forging stage cultivator stood up and shouted at the top of the mountain. However, he did not ascend the mountain. He was still several miles away from the peak.
Following that person’s shout, quite a few people immediately walked out from the shadows. Under that person’s lead, dozens of people immediately stood out.
Guo Ran, who was originally dozing off in the middle of the tent, suddenly became more energetic. He looked out from a fist-sized hole in the tent. Hehe, the guests have arrived.
"Killing innocents and being merciless, you are the scum of the righteous path. Today, we represent the righteous path in the world to condemn you, a murderous demon!" The other Bone Forging stage practitioner also shouted.
"You sad and crazy guy, do you think you can scare us by relying on such a vicious method?"
"If we, the experts of the righteous path, are numbering in the tens of thousands, will you be able to kill us all? Just you wait. When Han Tianyu comes out, he’ll personally chop off your head and use your dirty blood to wash off the shame of the righteous path!
Following the lead of one person, many people began to curse loudly. Their tone of voice regarded Long Chen as an unforgivable scoundrel.
Inside the tent, Meng Qi, Chu Yao, Tang Wan’er, and Lu Fang’er were all refining pills and refining their bones. They were in a meditative state, so they couldn’t hear anything from outside.
As for Long Chen, who was in another tent, he continued to refine pills while listening to the curses that were not creative at all. A trace of ridicule appeared on his face as he continued to refine pills.
Long Chen didn’t care, but Gu Yang’s expression darkened outside. He could tell that the group of idiots were here to cause trouble.
They just stood in the distance and cursed loudly, but they didn’t dare to move forward. Moreover, they had the attitude that they would run away at any time. Seeing that the situation wasn’t good, they would run away.
Gu Yang was so angry that killing intent surged in his eyes. He was now a powerful cultivator, and after countless life and death battles, he had developed a strong will to win. He was now a true Chosen.
"Phew!"
Gu Yang stood up and coldly looked at those fellows who were clamoring. He pointed the long spear in his hand and coldly snorted:
“If you want to fight, then come over here. Don’t learn to curse at women. They will ridicule you and make you lose the face of your ancestors!”
Gu Yang stood up, scaring those few people. However, when they saw that Long Chen did not appear and that there were so many people on their side, they couldn’t help but feel relieved.
"Who do you think you are? You are only a dog from the 108th Monastery, how dare you bark?"
“Being by Long Chen’s side is not a good thing. Just you all wait and see. It won’t be many days before you show yourself. Once Han Tianyu comes out, your end is near!”
“If you know what’s good for you, you can just kill yourself now. Otherwise, if you don’t die with your corpse intact, the idiot from the 108th Monastery will be your final outcome …”
The people in the crowd cursed, all sorts of insults, but none of them came up. That sound made Gu Yang’s hair stand on end. If it wasn’t for Long Chen telling him to protect Meng Qi and her group, he would have already rushed out.
“That’s enough. Don’t get angry because of this idiot. If that’s the case, you’ll be tricked. I’ve already confirmed the positions of those people, I’ll avenge you!”
Guo Ran’s voice came from within his small tent. Just as he finished speaking, a shadow flew out like lightning.
Puff.
An expert who was still in the midst of cursing, suddenly exploded as a bloody mist filled the air, scaring everyone present.
However, before they could understand what was going on, another muffled sound rang out and another person’s body exploded.
“It’s a crossbow arrow!”
Someone exclaimed.
"F * ck, someone secretly shot someone. If you have the balls …"
Puff.
A very brave giant arrow appeared in front of that person without a sound. The huge force caused his body to explode, and it was a pity that no one knew what he was trying to say.
"Bastard!"
Puff.
Puff.
Puff.
Amidst the terrified shouts and curses, a huge arrow like the arrow of the god of death appeared before everyone without a sound. With eight consecutive explosions, eight people were killed, their flesh scattered across the ground, and a pungent smell of blood filled the air.
For a moment, everyone was stupefied. Their faces were filled with terror as they stared at the mountain. Someone had finally discovered that the terrifying arrow had come from that small tent on the mountain.
When the second arrow was fired, it was noticed that it was shot from the small tent.
But those arrows were simply too strange. When they flew out, they were completely silent, as fast as lightning. By the time they were discovered, it would be too late for them to dodge.
Eight arrows flew out and eight people died. Those eight men were the same eight men who had been cursing and showing extreme provocation.
Even the few Chosen warriors who were hiding could not help but feel fear and trepidation as their scalps turned numb. Such a strange archery skill was simply impossible to guard against.
Even if he were to focus his mind, it would be extremely difficult for him to dodge. If he were to be ambushed, no matter how many lives he had, it wouldn’t be enough.
For a moment, everyone was scared to the point that they were flying everywhere, looking for a place to hide. They didn’t dare to swagger out again.
"Hualala!"
The crowd discovered that a person had walked out of the small, terrifying tent. When that person appeared, he first took a long stretch and then let out a big yawn.
A sign suddenly appeared in his hand. It was written crookedly on it. The person stuck it into the ground, put a finger to his mouth and made a silencing gesture. Then, under everyone’s gaze, he swaggered into the tent.
By the time they could react, Guo Ran had already entered the tent. Only then did they notice the words written on the sign.
“I have an afternoon nap. I don’t like being disturbed by you. It is forbidden for anyone to make a ruckus. Those who violate this rule will bear the consequences!”
Upon seeing those crooked words, many people’s teeth started to itch. They had seen people who put on airs before, but they had never seen anyone who could put on a show as well.
This was a secret plane, and it was only daytime. Who knew when it would be noon? This was clearly playing with other people as if they were idiots.
"F * ck …"
Some people were truly infuriated. Just as they were about to call out the name of a divine beast, an arrow suddenly appeared.
Puff.
Even though the man was hiding in the grass, the arrow still pierced his body and turned him into a pile of minced meat.
For a moment, everyone was shocked and angry. Although that person seemed to be acting cool, this mysterious archery skill was simply too ruthless.
At this moment, everyone had retreated a great distance. They were more than ten li away from the small tent, yet they were still killed by the arrow. This caused everyone to tremble with fear.
“Keep making noise, or I won’t have a reason to kill you!”
Guo Ran hid within the tent with the Void Shattering Crossbow in his hand. A round crystal chip was installed on the head of the Void Shattering Crossbow.
This crystal was covered in dense runes, allowing Guo Ran to observe even further with ease. This crystal was made from an ordinary crystal.
Guo Ran had invented this item based on the runes recorded on the golden page. Ever since Long Chen obtained the secret on the golden page, Guo Ran was like a mouse that had been starving for countless years.
However, what made Guo Ran depressed was that there were many things inside that were related to a principle and not a detailed procedure.
According to Guo Ran’s deductions, the items recorded in the golden page were all relatively profound. Those superficial items should be the basic skills that were essential to the refiners of the Immortal Ancient Era.
However, he had long since broken all knowledge regarding the Immortal Ancient Era. He was merely a smithy man with zero foundation; how could he be able to research such a profound item in such a short period of time?
Thus, Guo Ran had no way of comprehending the things on it at the moment. He could only see the things he saw, and felt that if he could use them, he would use them.
The crystal card in front of him was his first achievement. Through the symbols on the crystal card, he could clearly see the grass and trees in the distance.
The thing that excited Guo Ran the most was that he wouldn’t arouse the experts’ attention if he observed with the crystal. In other words, the crystal was isolated from the senses of the divine sense.
As long as Guo Ran didn’t particularly hate someone and didn’t have too much killing intent in his heart, no one would be able to sense the danger that was approaching.
As long as one was not a Chosen, there were basically no one who could sense Guo Ran’s attack. By the time those ordinary experts could sense it, they would already be dead.
Just a small crystal was enough to raise the power of Guo Ran’s Void Shattering Crossbow. This caused Guo Ran to be so excited that he almost howled towards the sky.
Compared to the knowledge on the golden page, this was nothing but a drop in the bucket. Guo Ran had made a huge profit this time.
“You underhanded bastards! You’re all righteous scum!” Another person suddenly cursed loudly.
This person was extremely clever. He hid behind a huge boulder, and the huge boulder was at least ten zhang tall. The crossbow arrow was unable to penetrate through the ten zhang tall boulder.
"What an idiot!"
Guo Ran sneered and a fiery red arrow appeared in his hand, replacing the arrow in the Void Shattering Nu’s hand.
“Long Chen, you’re just a bunch of shameful bastards that is despised by the righteous world. You all will die a horrible death …”
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a streak of red light flew past like a streak of red lightning. It struck the huge rock, causing an explosive sound. A terrifying blast covered a radius of three hundred meters.
After the explosion, a huge crater appeared where the huge rock was. The huge rock was blasted into smithereens by the arrow. As for that person …
“Dammit, you wasted one of your father’s explosive flame arrows!” Guo Ran ruthlessly spat on the ground. His heart ached for the arrow because it took a lot of time to forge it.
However, Guo Ran felt very comfortable in his heart as he finally understood the viciousness of Yan Wushuang. This woman actually instigated a bunch of idiots to intentionally interfere in their cultivation.
It seemed that Long Chen had scared her to death last time, so she didn’t dare to settle the score with Long Chen, and Han Tianyu hadn’t come out yet. She didn’t want Long Chen to grow faster, so she had used some methods to bribe a group of flamers.
Logically speaking, this kind of scam should make people feel disgusted, but basically, no one wanted to kill them. Yan Wushuang wanted to use them to stall Long Chen.
If Long Chen killed them, it would arouse public anger. After all, those flamers were using the banner of "justice" to "strongly condemn" Long Chen.
If Long Chen killed them, then he would no longer be making enemies with the disciples of the Xuantian School, but would become enemies with the entire righteous path. That would arouse the dissatisfaction of countless experts.
It could be said that this woman was too insidious. She clearly knew what scheme she was thinking, but she didn’t have an effective method to break it. She could only jump into the trap that she had set up.
"Long Chen, I want to see you!"
Just when everyone was scared stiff by Guo Ran, a figure dashed towards the tent.
Chapter 419 Killing Machine

"Long Chen, I want to see you!"
Just when everyone was scared stiff by Guo Ran, a figure dashed towards the tent.
It was an ordinary Bone Forging stage expert, and he flew up the mountain as if he was flying. His voice also carried a hint of urgency.
“Guo Ran, don’t move. I know that person!”
The Void Shattering Crossbow in Guo Ran’s hand was aimed at that person, but he heard Long Chen’s low shout.
As Long Chen refined pills, he paid attention to the situation outside. In this world, perhaps only Long Chen had the ability to refine pills like this.
When he heard that person’s voice, Long Chen realized that he knew that person. Outside the Misty Valley, Long Chen had once seen someone being chased down and saved him.
That person called himself Xu Yang. In order to thank Long Chen, he had even offered the only Wind Spirit Stone he had. He wanted to give it to Long Chen as an expression of his thanks, but Long Chen had refused.
This person was a cultivator with wind attribute spiritual energy. After reaching the Bone Forging stage, his speed was astonishing. As soon as his voice rang out, he had already reached the mountain.
Long Chen walked out of the tent. Xu Yang immediately recognized him and said, "Senior brother Long Chen, this is bad. Your group of friends have been surrounded. Hurry and save them."
Long Chen couldn’t help but be surprised as he hastily asked, “What’s the specific situation?”
Xu Yang said while panting, "In a valley more than eight thousand kilometers from here, I saw many people surrounding and attacking a group of people. One of the women was exceptionally powerful.
There were four men by her side that were fiercely fighting with her. However, there were simply too many people on the other side, and they were being continuously beaten back.
Later on, when I asked around, I found out that they were disciples of a small Monastery. They came here to seek your aid, and for some reason, they were intercepted and killed halfway.
The majority of the people surrounding and attacking them are from your Profound Sky Academy. There are three Chosen level experts, and I alone am unable to rescue them. I have no choice but to report to you with all my might. "
When Xu Yang saw Long Chen, his entire body was covered in sweat and he was on the verge of collapsing. It was clear that he had raised his speed to the limit along the way.
"This bunch of idiots!"
Long Chen couldn’t help but gnash his teeth. These bastards were simply too despicable. They actually went to intercept and kill the disciples of their Monastery.
“Brat, this was too vicious.”
After hesitating for a while, Long Chen still entered the tent and woke up Chu Yao who was cultivating in seclusion. He wanted to use the speed of the Purple Feathered Phoenix.
Although this would delay the progress of Chu Yao’s Bone Sacrifice, it was more important to save her. With Chu Yao here, if anyone was injured, they could instantly recover.
“Many thanks. You guys stay here. I’ll go with Chu Yao to support them.” After thanking Xu Yang, he then urged Gu Yang and Guo Ran.
"Boss, this …"
Guo Ran was obviously a bit hesitant, did that mean this person was reliable? Could it be a plan to lure him away?
“Don’t worry. It’s alright. If they dare to come while I’m leaving, then kill them all. Those who dare to make a move, kill them all!” Long Chen said.
Guo Ran didn’t directly answer Xu Yang’s question, but his attitude had already made it clear that Xu Yang was a trustworthy person.
If he couldn’t hold on, he could just wake up Meng Qi and the others. But to refine a bone, he usually needed to complete it in one go.
If they were to give up halfway, the medicinal strength of the pill would quickly dissipate in their bones. Then, they would need to refine it again, and their previous efforts would be in vain.
Being able to refine the first bone was the easiest and fastest. At this time, everyone was refining the second bone. Since Chu Yao was interrupted, she would have to wait until this matter was over before she could sacrifice the second bone.
This was the equivalent of wasting a few Bone Sacrifice Pellets’ energy. As well as a portion of his time, the loss was still acceptable. And it was precisely because of this that Long Chen dared to leave alone.
After arranging everything, Chu Yao summoned the Purple Feathered Phoenix Sparrow and the two of them stepped onto its back. The Purple Feathered Phoenix Sparrow gave a light cry and with a flap of its wings, its huge body shot into the sky and disappeared from everyone’s sight.
“Long Chen left!” Many people hiding in the shadows couldn’t help but cry out in alarm.
“It should be something urgent. Hehe, now that Long Chen has left, only the weak are left. What are we waiting for? Let’s attack together and kill them. We’ve obtained Miss Yin’s treasure.”
"Not only did we disturb Long Chen’s cultivation, we can also kill all of his friends. If this goes on, Long Chen will probably go crazy. “Heh heh, I’m afraid our rewards will be doubled …”
"Kill, kill Long Chen, the black sheep!"
“Kill! Those around Long Chen are all helping the evil! They’re all bad stuff! Let’s kill them all together!”
The moment Long Chen left, those experts hidden in the shadows, who knew what kind of promise Yan Wushuang had secretly given them, all jumped out and charged towards the tent. Instantly, killing intent surged over.
There were more than sixty Bone Forging experts, and two of them were even Chosen level experts. They raised their weapons and attacked with a face full of killing intent.
This was the first time Xu Yang had seen such a scene. He could not help but be frightened to the point of turning somewhat pale, and the longsword in his hand could not help but tremble slightly.
With so many powerful cultivators on his side and only three on his side, Xu Yang was just an ordinary cultivator. Besides being good at speed, his combat prowess could only be considered average. Facing so many people, he did not run away.
“Bro, I don’t need you to do anything. I and Gu Yang are enough. If we can’t handle it, you can enter the tent and wake the rest of us up. Don’t worry, there won’t be any danger.” Guo Ran patted Xu Yang’s shoulder.
Although Meng Qi and the others were currently in a meditative state, this was not cultivation. As long as there was a threat to their lives, they would immediately sense it and wake up.
It was just that if that was the case, they would only need to pay tribute to their bones. Guo Ran’s words were just to prepare for the worst.
"I will go to the first line of defense while Gu Yang you will go to the second. If the two of us fail, Xu Yang, you will go and wake them up."
Guo Ran was quite at ease. After he finished speaking, he took the huge Void Shattering Crossbow in his hand and shot an arrow at the people rushing down the mountain without even looking at it.
"Boom!"
An arrow exploded in the middle of the crowd. Immediately, several people screamed miserably as blood and flesh flew everywhere.
"Everyone spread out. If he can fire two arrows from this distance, we can rush to his side and hack him into minced meat!" A Chosen sprinted while reminding everyone.
Ten miles was a distance that could be covered in two breaths. At this point, Guo Ran could only shoot two arrows at most. As long as everyone split up and spread out, they wouldn’t be able to kill many people in two arrows.
"Phew!"
Just as that Chosen realm expert finished shouting, a fiery red arrow appeared right before him. Its speed was incomparably fast.
The Chosen coldly snorted and a huge golden shield appeared in his hand. Symbols densely covered it, flickering with radiance. He emitted a powerful pressure. This was an extremely powerful shield.
"Boom!"
A loud explosion shook the sky. That Chosen’s arm went numb, and the shield in his hand was almost knocked flying away. However, he still managed to block Guo Ran’s arrow.
"Haha, die!"
Seeing that his shield had blocked Guo Ran’s attack, the distance between Guo Ran and everyone else was less than a thousand feet away. Guo Ran was not allowed to exchange arrows with the Void Shattering Crossbow in such a short period of time.
That Chosen warrior was the first to rush up and activated Mirage Jade at the same time. He wanted to record the scene where he killed his enemy bravely. This was proof of the reward he received.
"Phew!"
A broadsword suddenly appeared in the hands of that Chosen as he charged towards Guo Ran.
Dong!
With an explosive sound, sparks flew in all directions, and that Chosen’s longsword was blocked by a steel arm.
"What?"
Everyone was shocked, Guo Ran had instantly turned into a weird metal man. His whole body was covered with a layer of steel, which was extremely strange and scary.
In particular, Guo Ran’s mask had the design of a demon on it. The two horns on his head sparkled brilliantly and he looked exceptionally ferocious.
This kind of armor frightened everyone. They had never seen anything like this before. Guo Ran was way too fast when he wore armor, and the scene before their eyes blurred as if he had become a completely different person.
“You’re the one who should die!”
One of his arms blocked the longsword, while the other fist brought out a whistling wind as it flew straight towards the chest of the Chosen.
That Chosen realm expert had yet to recover from his shock. By the time he came back to his senses, Guo Ran’s iron fist had already reached his chest. It was already too late for him to dodge.
"Spiritual Qi Protection!"
That Chosen could only concentrate all his spiritual energy on his chest, forming a transparent shield.
This shield was made from highly compressed spirit energy. Only an expert who had reached the Bone Sacrifice Realm and had extremely dense spirit energy would be able to do this.
A Spiritual Energy Barrier like this was extremely effective in neutralizing Spiritual Energy attacks. If someone else’s fist were to smash against the barrier, it would at least offset thirty percent of the impact.
"Boom!"
"Crack!"
An explosive sound was heard, followed by the sound of bone breaking. That Chosen spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and was sent flying backwards.
“Tsk, what Chosen, isn’t that a hanging feather?”
A sound akin to metal scraping against metal came from within Guo Ran’s armor. The sound was filled with disdain.
The defense of that Chosen was useful to others, but it was useless against Guo Ran. Guo Ran’s attack didn’t have a trace of spiritual energy, and was entirely reliant on the supplementary power of his armor.
And Guo Ran’s set of armor materials were all obtained by Long Chen from the ancient tomb, even though in that era, they were all low-grade materials.
However, in the modern world, the hardness of these materials could be compared to those used in the Upper Sky Realm. It could be said that this set of armor had absorbed a great deal of Guo Ran’s effort.
This was also the reason why he had not broken through yet. He wanted to use his invention to prove his strength.
He knew that he did not have much talent in cultivation. His goal was to become a craftsman of his generation, and he was extremely confident in his inventions.
A single punch had injured a Chosen. Seeing him fly backwards while spitting out blood, everyone was shocked.
"Too useless, die!"
Words that sounded like the sound of grinding steel rang out once again. Guo Ran slowly raised his arm and clenched his fist.
"Swish, swish, swish …"
Countless black lights flew out, instantly devouring the Chosens in the air.

"Swish, swish, swish …"
Countless black lights flew out, instantly devouring the Chosen in the air. Book Net wWw.Vodtw.com
"Puff puff puff puff … …"
The Chosen let out a blood-curdling screech as his body was penetrated by over a hundred spikes that were three inches long. He had been turned into a sieve.
If he had only shot his body into a sieve, he wouldn’t have been able to die. But those spikes that had shot out from the hole in Guo Ran’s arm had been shot through, piercing through that Chosen from head to toe.
Those spikes were only slightly thicker than steel needles, but they were covered in dense veined patterns. They were frighteningly sturdy, and their flesh and blood were simply unstoppable.
Bang.
After the body of the Chosen fell to the ground, it became nothing more than a pile of rotten flesh.
The crowd, who had been shouting for a fight, could not help but turn green in fright. Looking at the strange man in front of them, they could not help but tremble in fear.
To be able to kill a Chosen in an instant, and to even use such a method, they had never seen such a thing. The fear of the unknown made them feel even more fear.
"Flee!"
Everyone had just reached the summit. Without any hesitation, they turned around and ran. Now, they no longer cared about what promise Yan Wushuang had made them. Although the treasures were tempting, they still needed to be alive to enjoy them.
Some of the people here had their eyes on Yan Wushuang’s promise. There was also a large portion who wanted to use this help to build a relationship with her, which was why they took the risk to harass Long Chen.
Originally, Long Chen had thought that they were just harassment. After all, they were all righteous disciples. Thus, Long Chen did not dare to do anything to them. However, Long Chen’s ruthlessness had far surpassed their imagination.
Seeing that Guo Ran had turned into a steel demon and killed a Chosen with a wave of his hand, he no longer cared about treasures or connections, and they all ran away.
“That’s not good, right?”
Guo Ran replied coldly as he slowly patted his waist with both hands. Suddenly, the armor in front of Guo Ran’s chest slowly opened, revealing numerous small holes.
… ….
"Boom!"
A gigantic ice wall was destroyed by the three weapons, revealing a cold face. Her eyebrows and phoenix eyes were like that of an otherworldly ice goddess.
This was a unique temperament that only Ye Zhiqiu possessed. At this moment, Ye Zhiqiu was being attacked by three Chosen experts and was constantly retreating.
Beside Ye Zhiqiu, three men were fighting in a frenzy. Their robes were dyed red with blood, but they were still crazily defending against the tide-like enemies around them.
Two figures were lying behind the three men. One of them was already cold and had lost his life aura, while the other one’s life aura was extremely weak, on the verge of death.
“Ye Zhiqiu, don’t just stand there and do nothing. Today, you guys are going to die without a doubt!” Among the three people attacking Ye Zhiqiu, a man with a face covered in pockmarks sneered.
Even though Ye Zhiqiu had already been forced into a disadvantageous position, the three didn’t dare to be careless. This was because the lethality of Ye Zhiqiu’s ice type energy was too terrifying.
In the previous battle, that pockmarked face had fought Ye Zhiqiu one on one, but he had almost been killed by Ye Zhiqiu. Although he hadn’t died, he had been seriously injured and his combat strength had been greatly reduced.
The three of them were all dressed in the garb of the courtyard. Surprisingly, all of them were the disciples of the courtyard. They came from the 7th, 9th and 11th courtyard, respectively. The people who had besieged them were also the disciples of the courtyard.
"Hmph, so what if we die? “Long Chen will definitely avenge us. When the time comes, you’ll die ten thousand times more miserably than we will!” Song Mingyuan gnashed his teeth as he spoke.
At this time, Song Mingyuan, Luo Cang and Yue Zifeng were fighting with everything they had. All of the moves they used were of mutual destruction; clearly, they had already entered a state of madness.
As for those who were attacking, they saw that victory was in sight. The people in front of them were just struggling with their lives on the line. Their destruction was only a matter of time. They were slowly exhausting their physical strength.
One of the two men lying on the ground was Reacher who was on the verge of death. He was a close friend of Song Ming’s, and he had a long sword stabbed into his chest. He was already on the verge of death.
The other person who had lost his life was Guan Wen Nan. After the first exam, he was one of the four core disciples, Gu Yang, Tang Wan’er and Ye Zhi Qiu. They were the first ones to awaken the Ancestral Marks.
There was a large hole in his chest, and fresh blood dyed the ground red. A pair of eyes calmly stared at the sky, but it had already lost its luster.
"Long Chen?" Idiot, Long Chen will soon reunite with you in another world. Han Tianyu will personally chop off his head. " A Chosen sneered.
"Boom!"
The three Chosens attacked together. The ice blade in Ye Zhiqiu’s hand shattered and he was sent flying backwards. At the corner of his jade-like mouth, a stream of dark red blood slowly flowed out.
"Haha, go and die!"
After that one attack, Ye Zhiqiu’s aura had clearly decreased by a large amount. This meant that the attack just now was all of her strength. Ye Zhiqiu no longer had the strength to continue fighting.
The three were overjoyed as they raised their weapons and charged at Ye Zhiqiu. Three cold weapons came slashing down at Heartless.
"Thousand Wood Floating"
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the ground exploded. Countless wooden pillars drilled out from the ground and quickly interweaved into a huge wooden shield that was hundreds of feet high in front of Ye Zhiqiu and the others.
Bang.
The weapons of the three people struck the wooden shield heavily. However, what shocked them was that only a portion of the wooden pillar was broken by them, and it did not completely collapse.
One had to know that these three were all Bone Forging experts. They had refined two bones, and their strength could split mountains and shatter mountains. Yet, they couldn’t even cut down a few pieces of wood. They couldn’t help but be shocked.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The wooden shield slowly withdrew into the ground, revealing the figures of a man and a woman.
"Long…" "Long Chen!!"
When the three of them saw that face full of killing intent, they could not help but turn pale with fright as they stuttered out that name.
The people who came were Long Chen and Chu Yao. They finally arrived at the critical moment. Seeing Long Chen’s figure, Ye Zhiqiu and the others finally let out a sigh of relief and softly fell to the ground.
"Today, all of you will die!" As Long Chen looked at them, the killing intent in his heart flared as he gnashed his teeth and spoke.
"Run!"
It was unknown who shouted this first, but over a hundred powerhouses wildly ran far away. They had been scared witless by the dragon chariot.
One must know that Long Chen had killed even Han Tianfeng. Even someone as powerful as Han Tianfeng was unable to stop Long Chen. Against Long Chen, they had no chance of surviving at all.
"Sky Wood Cage!"
Chu Yao let out a cold shout and clapped her hand on the ground. Suddenly, the ground collapsed and countless wooden pillars flew out from the ground. They instantly interweaved and formed a huge cage that covered an area of ten miles.
"Die!"
Long Chen roared in anger as he dashed towards the three Chosen level experts. His fist tore through the air as it smashed towards the three people.
They had already rushed to the edge of the cage and were about to attack it when Long Chen’s fist arrived. The terrifying power caused their hearts to tremble as they hurriedly tried to defend.
"Boom!"
Long Chen’s punch landed on their weapons. The three of them felt as if a mountain had crashed into their chests, causing them to spit out a mouthful of blood.
However, before they could fall back, Long Chen had already pounced on them like a ghost.
"Kacha kacha kacha …"
The sound of bones breaking constantly sounded out, causing people’s scalps to go numb. In everyone’s ears, there were only three heart-tearing and lung-splitting screams.
Long Chen only needed the time of a single breath to break all the bones in the three people’s bodies.
Furthermore, Long Chen was extremely familiar with the structure of the human body. He knew what kind of fracture would cause one to wish they were dead.
After having their bones broken, the three of them could no longer scream because they no longer had the strength to scream. They needed to preserve their strength to fight against the unforgettable pain.
bang bang bang *
The escaping martial artists had already rushed to the front of the wooden cage. But as the wooden pillars interweaved with each other, let alone a human, even a fly wouldn’t be able to fly out. They were desperately trying to attack the wooden cage.
But the current Chu Yao was no longer the same Chu Yao from before. After absorbing the Seven Stars Begonia Wood Heart, Chu Yao’s Secret of Wood had improved by a large amount.
The wooden pillar that she summoned now was much stronger than before. Those people used all their strength but were unable to break the pillar. They were all scared out of their wits.
"Die!"
Long Chen roared like a death god. A yellow light flew out like a bolt of lightning, wreaking havoc in the crowd.
"Puff puff puff …"
Blood splattered everywhere as heads flew up into the sky. Everyone was shocked to discover that the yellow light was simply unable to block it.
Some people used long sabers to slash at that yellow light, but their weapons were cut off by that yellow light, and they still could not change the fate of their heads.
"No …."
That yellow ray of light was like a life-reaping talisman, wreaking havoc within the crowd. They had no way of defending against it and could only silently watch as it kept on harvesting heads.
"Long Chen, I beg of you, please spare us …"
Puff.
The response he got was a yellow light, and when his head left his neck, he finally stopped feeling fear, but there was a look of unwillingness on his face.
“Long Chen, I didn’t attack your friend. For the sake of being in the same sect as me, spare me …” “Ahhh!”
After he finished speaking, his head flew out as well, unable to speak. At this moment, Long Chen completely ignored the screams of the crowd as he controlled the golden page and continued his slaughter.
Long Chen didn’t believe that they didn’t make a move because there were too many people and they didn’t have the chance to.
Although they didn’t make a move, they surrounded Ye Zhiqiu and the others to prevent them from escaping, so they should also be killed.
The destruction of the golden page continuously reaped the lives of everyone. In an instant, most of them were killed, their heads rolling on the ground, blood spraying everywhere.
The dead die, while the living struggle in despair, constantly sprinting, hoping to avoid the golden page.
However, everything was in vain. In front of the golden page, they were like a group of madly running radishes. Their wails exposed the evil in their hearts.
When killing others, they would never sympathize with them. Only when they were killed did they realize how miserable it was to be killed.
Puff.
Even Ye Zhiqiu and the others were shocked by the scene in front of them. The whole cage seemed like hell on earth as Long Chen stood there with the golden page in his hand. He was like a merciless death god.
"Long Chen, come over here quickly. He might … “You can’t … …” Chu Yao’s anxious voice sounded out.

"Long Chen, come over here quickly. He might … “You can’t … …” Chu Yao’s anxious voice sounded out. Book Net www.vodTw.com
Long Chen rushed over and saw that Chu Yao’s wooden pillar was tightly wrapped around Reacher. A huge amount of life force was being transferred into Reacher’s body.
Ye Zhiqiu and the others surrounded Reacher. Song Mingyuan had also cried out loud. The two of them had always been as close as brothers. Seeing Reacher act like this, Ye Zhiqiu felt as if a knife was stabbing at his heart.
At this moment, Li Qi’s body was like a funnel, unable to store the spiritual energy that Chu Yao had channeled into him. He was still able to maintain a trace of consciousness, all thanks to Chu Yao’s power.
But Reacher had no life left in him. He wouldn’t be able to last much longer with the power of an outsider.
“Long Chen ….” Boss, hehe … To be able to see … “You’re really great!” Reacher looked like a piece of golden paper, but his eyes were shining as he looked at Long Chen. He forced out a smile.
"Long Chen, I …" She was unable to pull Li Qi back from the hands of the god of death, they were a step too late.
"You all don’t want … … Sad, seeing boss … I am relieved that you are safe … “Good…” A look of relief crossed Reacher’s face.
“Li Qi, you can’t leave me…” Song Mingyuan couldn’t help crying.
“Enough, both of you, don’t be sad, he won’t die!”
Long Chen took a deep breath and a drop of jade-green liquid appeared in his hand. It was the Life Deity’s Elixir that a powerhouse from the Spiritual World had given to Long Chen before he left.
This liquid was very magical. No matter how severe the injury, it could be cured. At least until now, it had never failed.
However, after so long, there was only a single drop left. Last time when Long Chen went through the Lightning Calamity, his injuries were so severe that he wasn’t even willing to use it.
Right now, Li Qi was half a step into the gates of hell. Only this drop of God’s Elixir could save his life.
Long Chen put the drop of Life Essence into Guan Wennan mouth. Guan Wennan immediately fell into a coma, which scared them out of their wits.
"His life force is reviving!"
Chu Yao couldn’t help being overjoyed. The first thing she felt was that Reacher’s fire of life had been reignited. The life force that Chu Yao was channeling finally found a place to stop.
Long Chen nodded. He looked at Guan Wennan and couldn’t help but sigh. They had come too late. Guan Wennan had already been dead for a long time.
"Brother Guan died to save me. I will definitely take revenge!" Yue Zifeng, who rarely spoke, said fiercely.
The four of them had been treated by Chu Yao, so their injuries were fine. However, if they wanted to recover their strength, they would need some time.
“Let me figure out what’s going on first.”
"Pa!"
Long Chen slapped the face of a Chosen. This slap temporarily stopped the pain from that person’s body and cut off his nerves.
“Long Chen, spare me! I beg you, spare me! I can’t take it anymore …” That Chosen Expert pleaded for mercy, his face full of fear.
He had never experienced that kind of pain before. It was so painful that one could die from it. The worst thing was that the pain had surpassed the limit that a person could endure.
Logically speaking, when pain reached the limit for a person, in order to prevent them from dying from pain, their brain would automatically turn off the pain and enter a coma. This was a form of self-protection.
However, they didn’t know what method Long Chen had used. They were obviously in excruciating pain, but wanting to faint was an impossible dream.
Furthermore, the pain in every nerve was clearly expressed to them. They finally understood what pain truly meant.
"Speak, who ordered you to do this?" Long Chen said coldly.
“Would you let me go if I did?” That person’s eyes lit up, giving birth to a glimmer of hope.
"Pa!"
Long Chen slapped him again and said coldly, “You don’t have the right to bargain!”
After that person was slapped by Long Chen, his body immediately twitched and his eyes bulged out, returning him to his previous state of intense pain.
"Pa!"
Long Chen slapped another person in the face and snorted coldly, “You only have one chance. I don’t like to hear nonsense!”
The man’s face was full of fear. He looked at his two twitching companions and told them the whole story.
So it turned out that the three people in front of him were all lackeys of the First Courtyard. The First Courtyard had a huge influence in the entire courtyard, and there were dozens of sects in contact with them.
To put it bluntly, these courtyards were the subsidiary forces of the First Courtyard. Moreover, these factions were basically the top 50 rankings of their existences.
The top sects in all sects outside of the top 50 didn’t care much for the rankings. However, there were still some who liked to put their hot faces on someone’s cold butt.
Previously, Long Chen had killed Han Tianfeng and cut off one of Yan Wushuang’s arms. This frightened Yan Wushuang and he wanted to go find Han Tianyu, but Han Tianyu was nowhere to be found.
The first time, she could still fight fiercely with Long Chen. However, the second time, she had advanced to the Bone Forging stage and her strength had greatly increased. However, the gap between her and Long Chen was getting wider and wider.
This time, Long Chen really did scare her to death. When she closed her eyes, it was Long Chen’s cold and emotionless face and the image of him raising his blood-red long sword to cut her in half.
Now that Long Chen had already become Yan Wushuang’s nightmare, she was afraid that Long Chen would continue to grow stronger. Thus, in the name of the First Courtyard Han Tianyu, she summoned people to secretly deal with him.
The others weren’t idiots either. Since Long Chen was able to kill Han Tianfeng, how many people in the righteous path would dare to go against Long Chen?
Those who had the strength to fight against Long Chen wouldn’t listen to her at all. Her favor wasn’t worth much in their eyes.
Thus, Yan Wushuang turned her gaze towards her subordinate forces and those small sects. She opened up a bargaining chip that could move their hearts and let them interfere with Long Chen.
There was no need for them to kill Long Chen. All they needed to do was to keep an eye on Long Chen and create some trouble for him.
Of course, if he could kill the people around Long Chen, that would be for the best. She would reward him handsomely, even bringing ‘outstanding’ people into the Yin Clan.
One must know that Yan Wushuang came from an ancient family. She came to the side yard to cultivate solely for Han Tianyu. With the power of the Yan family, there was no need to come to such a small place.
Thus, when many people heard this promise, they became extremely excited, especially when their relationship with the First Courtyard was very good and they tried their best to curry favor with it.
Ever since Long Chen entered the Compass Mountain, he had been standing guard there without moving. Yan Wushuang could see through Long Chen’s intentions and secretly encouraged everyone to go out and kill the disciples of the 108th Courtyard.
Her goal was to make Long Chen go crazy and search for the culprit. If Long Chen went crazy, he would definitely slaughter everyone around her and attract their attention. She believed that sooner or later, all the powerful cultivators would be unhappy with her.
One must know that the entrance to the Nine Li Secret Realm was spread throughout the seven prefectures. This was not the only Mysterious Sky Courtyard; the other prefectures’ heaven’s pride experts had also entered the secret realm.
Once Long Chen caught the attention of the other heaven’s pride experts, it was very easy for them to clash with him. She wanted to push Long Chen to the forefront of the conflict.
Even if Long Chen went around hunting down the culprits and didn’t attract anyone’s attention, she would have wasted countless of her experiences and achieved her goal.
Long Chen had grown abnormally fast during the last two battles. He was simply like a comet that rose to prominence, making people fear him.
Even if she had confidence in Han Tianyu, she didn’t want to see Long Chen continue to grow. This was her plan.
“Where is Yan Wushuang now?” Long Chen’s killing intent boiled as he listened. This woman was too insidious. He absolutely could not let her live.
“No …” He didn’t know … “After she spread the news, she immediately hid herself. She also instructed us that if we succeeded, we should immediately find a place to go into seclusion. We should not have any conflicts with you.” The Chosen said with a face full of fear.
"This Yan Wushuang is so vicious!" Chu Yao said angrily.
"We must kill her and avenge the deaths of our brothers!" Yue Zifeng said as he gnashed his teeth.
"What is it? Other people have died? " Long Chen couldn’t help but be shocked.
Song Wen Yuan, Luo Cang and Yue Zifeng went silent for a while. The eyes of the three of them seemed as if they were about to spew fire. Even Ye Zhi Qiu, who had been silent all this time, could not help but reveal a dejected look.
Song Wenyuan gritted his teeth and said, "After we heard about the great battle at the Compass Mountain, we rushed over from all over the place and were attacked by many people along the way.
Furthermore, when we were fighting with them, we had already heard that quite a few of our brothers had been killed.
When Song Wenyuan said this, he gritted his teeth tightly. Every word came out from the gaps between his teeth, and his face became distorted due to anger.
“We’ve also killed quite a few people along the way. From their interspatial rings, we can see images of our brothers sacrificing themselves …” As Luo Cang said this, he began to choke.
All the people present were hot-blooded men. However, when they saw their own brothers being killed, no matter how strong they were, they would not be able to endure such an outcome.
"The ones who survived our 108th courtyard are all of us. As for the rest, they were all …"
Long Chen felt as if a giant boulder had pressed down on his heart. Although he was prepared and knew that the secret realm was filled with countless dangers, he still couldn’t accept this number.
What was missing was not a number, but a bunch of living beings. Since Song Wenyuan had said those words, it meant that he was sure that those people had all fallen.
As for the details, Long Chen no longer needed to ask. To explain one person at a time how a person fell was a merciless injury.
“I’ll leave these three to you. You can do whatever you want, no matter what tricks you want!” Long Chen said.
"Alright!"
The three of them stood up at the same time, each carrying a corpse. They found a quiet corner, and after two hours, the three of them came back with slightly relaxed expressions. Tears were still on their faces, but they were still smiling.
Seeing the three return, Chu Yao stretched out her hand and a coffin made of wooden pillars appeared in front of everyone.
Long Chen and the others gently placed Guan Wennan’s corpse inside the coffin. When the lid of the coffin closed, everyone’s mood became extremely heavy.
“Let’s go. Our next goal — — Revenge.”
After cleaning up the battlefield, Long Chen looked at the distant sky. The killing intent in his eyes had already condensed into reality.
Chapter 422 Gift

When Long Chen and the others returned to the Compass Mountain, the entire mountain was filled with corpses. Fresh blood slowly dripped down the hillside.
Guo Ran, Gu Yang, and Xu Yang were sweeping the battlefield, collecting the spatial rings of the dead and the nails on the corpses at the same time.
They were all Guo Ran’s treasures that he had to retrieve. Guo Ran was extremely intelligent and had already attached his own soul marks to the nails. He could easily sense their existence within a radius of three hundred meters.
Guo Ran painstakingly forged all these things, and even if he lost every single one of them, Guo Ran would still feel the pinch. Ever since the war of the Righteous Evil Realm, when Guo Ran experienced the pain of being shot to death, he must always have sufficient weapons.
As a result, they were usually unwilling to part with even a single nail. As a result, most of the spikes on the battlefield had been recycled, leaving behind a portion in some people’s bodies.
Under normal circumstances, with the power of Guo Ran’s godly technique, he would’ve absolutely penetrated a person’s body.
However, the spikes left in the bodies of these people would have already passed through the body of one person, or even two people, before going through the body of the latter, only then would they remain.
“Guo Ran, why don’t we not take it? It would be too much of a waste to dig it out.” Gu Yang grumbled.
Stopping items from the corpses was a bit tiresome. He did not mind it at all, the key point was that it was sticky and uncomfortable.
“You go rest with Xu Yang, I’ll take care of it myself. Hehe, this thing is just like my child, I don’t want to part with it!” Guo Ran chuckled.
"For you to shoot out so many children at one shot, you must have some guts." Gu Yang shook his head.
The speaker was unintentional, while the listener was unintentional. Gu Yang’s words left Guo Ran at a loss whether to laugh or cry. “Gu Yang, you’re evil!”
"Screech!"
Gu Yang was at a loss for words. Just as he was about to speak, a bird cry sounded out and a giant figure descended from the sky.
"Boss is back! Hehe! Beautiful Ye, Brother Ming Yuan, Brother Luo Cang, Brother Zifeng, long time no see!" Guo Ran hurriedly greeted Long Chen and the others when he saw them arrive.
After everyone had met, their heavy moods had been greatly lightened. After knowing that Guan Wennan and the others had all died, Guo Ran and Gu Yang couldn’t help but feel sad. They didn’t expect so many people to have come in, but only a few of them were still alive.
When he mentioned Yan Wushuang, every single one of them gnashed their teeth in anger. They wanted nothing more than to eat her flesh and skin. This slut was too despicable.
"Enough, this is what happens on the path of cultivation. No one knows when someone will fall. Most importantly, when we are still alive, it is enough for us to cherish that emotion."
"From today onwards, our first goal is revenge. Our brothers cannot die in vain, we must repay the debt of blood with blood." Long Chen said in a low voice.
“Boss, we’ll listen to you. But who exactly are our enemies?” Guo Ran couldn’t help but ask.
He did not understand what kind of hatred could cause Yan Wushuang to target Long Chen.
Long Chen had always been fair and square in his actions and had never offended her. Why did she keep forcing Long Chen onto a path of no return?
"The mastermind behind this matter is the higher ups of the First Courtyard, and Yan Wushuang is merely an enforcer.
However, according to my calculations, the first courtyard was only targeted at me. It was originally planned to kill me the moment we entered the secret realm.
He wanted me to become the stepping stone for Han Tianyu, and he kept on pouring dirty water on me, turning me into the image of an unforgivable villain. Then, he wanted Han Tianyu to kill me as a righteous messenger, adding a layer of color to his glorious image.
And then, as things got out of her control, she began to feel the gravity of the problem, and when she couldn’t find my people, she began to persecute you and try to lure me out.
“At that time, I was in seclusion in a place and didn’t know what was going on in the outside world. When I came out of seclusion, a battle at the Compass Mountain took place.” Long Chen gave a brief analysis of the situation.
According to Long Chen’s analysis, if the First Courtyard were to target Long Chen, they definitely wouldn’t think of so many tricks. It was simple and direct, fitting the personality of a cultivator.
If an executor were to act against Long Chen, Long Chen wouldn’t have to fear anyone. However, if he couldn’t act against Long Chen in the hands of Yan Wushuang, then he would act against the people beside him. This was something Long Chen couldn’t tolerate.
"No matter what, this Yan Wushuang must die." Long Chen said hatefully.
"This slut must die, or our brothers will die with grievances," Gu Yang said with a murderous look in his eyes.
"However, this slut is hiding right now. She doesn’t dare confront us head on, and we can’t find her. If we go like headless flies to find her, we’ll fall into her trap and be mocked by her in the dark.
"Right now, the most important thing for us is to raise our strength. Before Han Tianyu comes out of seclusion, we will use the greatest amount of power we have. At that time, there will be a fierce battle." Long Chen reminded.
“Don’t worry boss, I won’t cower from this big fight anymore. I’ll let go of my hand and go on a killing spree!” Guo Ran said confidently.
Long Chen nodded his head and looked at the battlefield. "These are all your masterpieces?"
“That’s right, Guo Ran was the one who did all this. Brother Xu and I didn’t even have the chance to make a move!” Gu Yang said with admiration written all over his face.
Towards the previous battle, Gu Yang had yet to recover from his shock. The armored Guo Ran was like a killing machine.
As he raised his hands and raised his feet, countless concealed weapons flew out from unexpected places, making it hard for others to guard against them. From start to finish, Guo Ran had been chasing after the group of people and killing them.
In the end, only one Chosen was left. Guo Ran had smashed him to death with his iron fists, causing the onlookers to tremble in fear.
That Chosen realm expert was extremely powerful, but no matter what he did, he couldn’t hurt Guo Ran who was covered in armor.
The design of Guo Ran’s armor was quite exquisite. Such a large armor was able to perform all sorts of nimble movements without the slightest awkwardness.
Thus, Guo Ran only needed to attack and completely ignored that person’s attack. That powerful Chosen died in Guo Ran’s hands just like that.
Xu Yang sighed and said, “To be honest, I, Xu Yang, have been through countless battles in my life. This is the first time I’ve ever experienced such a terrifying battle.”
“Hehe, that’s because you’ve never seen our boss fight before. I guarantee that you’ll feel your blood boil from watching!” Guo Ran chuckled. This kid was a bit embarrassed from being praised. He actually knew how to be modest and change the topic.
This is a very rare thing, this little brat actually started to change his personality. Long Chen said: "What were you doing before? Killing people is not enough? Are you still playing with dismemberment? "
“Cough cough, I don’t have anymore. I want to take back my treasures. You also know that it’s not easy for me to create these things, eh?” Boss, why are you looking at me like that? " Guo Ran discovered that Long Chen’s gaze had become one of disdain as he spoke.
“Pig, can’t you collect those corpses and burn them to ashes? Can’t you burn your nails as well?” Long Chen was speechless.
"Pa!"
Guo Ran slapped his thigh. “Aiya, why didn’t I think of such a simple method?”
He had been feeling depressed before, but now that the nails had been pulled out from his flesh and penetrated deeply into his flesh, he needed to cut open the flesh before he could take them out.
Not to mention Gu Yang and Xu Yang, even he himself couldn’t stand it. After all, they were human meat, not pork.
Xu Yang was an outsider, so he couldn’t say anything. He could only lower his head and follow the work. Gu Yang, however, couldn’t help but grumble a bit.
"Phew!"
Long Chen exhaled. “I’ve already used to your little bit of intelligence on crafting tools. Alright, go collect the corpses. Once you’ve collected them, let Little Violet help you burn them.”
The Little Violet that Long Chen spoke of was Chu Yao’s pet, the Violet Feathered Phoenix Sparrow. Currently, all of them had advanced to the Fourth Stage, spitting out flames that not even a Chosen would be able to withstand. The only thing Long Chen could do was hide in a sorry state and burn some corpses as if it was playing around.
When Guo Ran heard Long Chen’s words, he started collecting the bodies with nails in them.
Everyone else followed him to help. The moment Xu Yang moved, Long Chen grabbed him. "Xu Yang, what plans do you have for you to not come with us?"
Long Chen’s heart was filled with gratitude towards Xu Yang. This kind of person knew how to repay favors, even to the point of disregarding his life. Coming over to report proved that this person was loyal and loyal.
Long Chen really wanted to pull him here, but it was too dangerous to stay by Long Chen’s side. Even though Long Chen had the ability to provide them with a lot of cultivation resources.
However, compared to that danger, these resources were not necessarily that precious. Therefore, Long Chen wanted to hear what Xu Yang had to say.
When Xu Yang heard that Long Chen had invited him to join them, his eyes couldn’t help but turn red with excitement. Just what kind of person was Long Chen? The biggest dark horse in the secret realm could fight shoulder to shoulder with a peerless expert, an existence that was at the same level as him.
The fact that Long Chen was able to invite him to join them showed that he was treating him as his own person. What kind of honor was this?
However, after the excitement passed, Xu Yang’s face became troubled as he said, “Thank you for your consideration, Brother Long. Xu Yang may be of humble birth, but considering the importance of our sect, we cannot give up. I hope you can forgive me.”
Long Chen nodded. He understood what Xu Yang meant. Xu Yang might have come from a very small sect, but his sect had done him a favor. They definitely wouldn’t betray their sect and follow him.
According to what Xu Yang said, it was very likely that his sect had poured a lot of effort into him, and perhaps bet everything on him.
This was because some sects needed to purchase money from a few large sects in order to enter the secret realm. That quota was not cheap.
The fact that the sect sent them in was tantamount to a gamble, so Long Chen could understand Xu Yang’s difficulties.
“No matter what, since we’re brothers, there’s nothing much I can give you. Here are twenty Bone Sacrifice Pellets and ten Wind Spirit Stones. You don’t need to decline.” Long Chen handed Xu Yang a jade bottle and ten Wind Spirit Stones.
“Brother Long, please don’t …” Xu Yang was shocked. He had heard of that Bone Sacrifice Pill before. It was an unimaginably precious treasure.
The ten Wind Spirit Stones that Long Chen handed over were ten times better than the previous one. The pure wind energy was beyond imagination.
“We’re brothers, so there’s no need to say that. I’m giving it to you, so take it. If you’re willing to risk your life to save my friend from danger, you’ll be looking down on me if you don’t accept it.”
“In that case, I’ll accept it. Brother Long, I, Xu Yang, will never forget this kindness!” Xu Yang bowed respectfully towards Long Chen before leaving.
After sending Xu Yang off, Reacher woke up from his coma not long later. The crowd couldn’t help but feel overjoyed.
After he finished rejoicing, Long Chen continued to refine pills. He let everyone take turns to protect him and began to sacrifice his bones in preparation for the upcoming great battle.
Chapter 423 Strongly Condemning
Mobile Read
The news of the battle of Compass Mountain and Long Chen killing the disciples of the other courtyard spread throughout the secret realm. WwW.voDw.cOM
Many of them ran to the scene of the explosion in order to verify what had happened. When they saw the horrifying corpse, they couldn’t help but tremble in fear.
At the same time, countless spearheads were pointed at Long Chen. They all believed that Long Chen was ruthless, cruel, and cruel, committing heinous crimes.
However, these words could only be spoken behind his back. It was an act of solemn declaration and strong condemnation. After two great battles, no one dared to run out and challenge Long Chen again.
They were still behind everyone, expressing their sense of justice. No matter how big the benefits were, no one would go and find trouble with Long Chen.
The hand behind the scenes that was pushing the public opinion also became weak. It was partly because of the matter of Long Chen, but it had already become transparent. As a cultivator, how could there be so many idiots?
On the other hand, they were trying their best to incite their emotions, but most of them were already in closed-door seclusion. Who would care about them?
Which one of you is good or bad, why does this daddy care? In a few months, the exit of the secret realm would open.
At that time, an unprecedented chaotic battle of positive and evil was about to begin, and those with weaker cultivations would all die in the secret realm.
In the eyes of these people, whether it was the First Courtyard or Long Chen’s side, they were all considered idiots.
A huge battle was imminent, yet they still had the mood to fight inside. If this wasn’t an idiot, then what was this? Therefore, when they heard Yan Wushuang’s efforts, many of the righteous experts could only sneer at him.
As for those evil experts, they had long since disappeared. There were not many evil disciples left in the secret realm and they had all entered closed-door training. They were more concerned about the final battle.
Don’t you guys like fighting amongst yourselves and fighting for it? You guys just have to fight for it, we’ll work hard to increase our strength and then we’ll try our best to kill those righteous disciples. Those treasures that those righteous disciples have worked so hard for would still end up in their pockets.
Yan Wushuang had instigated a group of people to spread the news everywhere. However, they were all in closed door cultivation, so who were they promoting to? He couldn’t possibly shout every day, right? If he were to alarm the other party in his seclusion, he would be hacked to death.
After instigating for two days and discovering that there was no effect, Yan Wushuang could only make everyone give up and go into seclusion.
Therefore, this period of time was the most peaceful time in the Nine Li Secret Realm. Other than a few brave and desperate experts who were heading deeper into the secret realm, almost all the powerhouses had already entered closed-door training and began to sacrifice their bones.
As for those disciples who were born in the cold and had no Bone Sacrifice Pellets, they worked hard to increase their cultivation and use their realms to fill up the gaps in the Bone Sacrifice Realm.
Although it wasn’t very useful, it was still better than not doing anything at all. One must know that the final battle was related to everyone’s life and death. Otherwise, no matter how many treasures they obtained, it would be useless.
Long Chen continued to concoct pills day and night. Only Guo Ran accompanied him in hunting.
Every time someone sneakily spied on them from the outside, Guo Ran would destroy the Void Crossbow with a single strike. The only people who could still target them at this moment were their enemies.
Therefore, Guo Ran was like a hunter, quietly waiting for the rabbit to take the bait. After killing a few people, Guo Ran didn’t gain anything for seven days. This made Guo Ran a little uncomfortable.
Watching Long Chen concoct pills was something that was very pleasing to the eyes, but it was something that was pleasing to the eyes. To watch dozens and hundreds of times every day, one would feel sick of it no matter how beautiful it was.
"Boss, how much longer do we have to practice?" Guo Ran asked.
"Soon, we already have over six thousand Bone Sacrifice Pellets in our possession. In two days, we will have used up all the medicinal ingredients." Long Chen said.
Long Chen had been concocting pills day and night these past few days. He had more and more pills, but there were less and less medicinal ingredients.
Some of the living herbs were put into Long Chen’s Life Ring, so he wasn’t going to use them to refine pills.
After all, the value of living medicinal plants was a hundred times that of ordinary ones. In the outside world, Long Chen could use these living medicinal plants to exchange for over a hundred portions of similar grade medicinal herbs.
The ring was filled with all kinds of rare and precious herbs. Long Chen didn’t care if they were comfortable or not, it was fine as long as they didn’t die. Even if they broke their hair, it didn’t matter if they lived or died.
In any case, in the outside world, these things were precious treasures. Even the half-dead medicinal plants would receive the same treatment as their ancestors. Those sects definitely had ways to keep them alive.
What Long Chen needed to do was to bring as many of these living herbs as possible. This was because many of the precious medicines in the outside world were nearly extinct.
There was also a portion of precious medicine that was controlled by the large sects. They viewed these precious medicine even more tightly than their wives and would definitely not let anyone know about it.
Even if they were to trade outside, it would be a trade of dried medicine. They would never let anyone know that they had live medicinal herbs in their hands that they could cultivate and reproduce by themselves.
This was also a rare commodity that could greatly increase the price of medicinal herbs and make a huge profit. There were many precious medicines in the outside world, but no one wanted to reveal what they had.
Under the control of some sects, the price of precious medicine steadily increased. As for the smaller forces, they could only spend a large sum to buy it. As a result, the larger the sects, the smaller the sects.
For example, the sect that Xu Yang belonged to did not even provide him with a Bone Sacrifice Pellet. This did not mean that it was not enough to pity Xu Yang.
Instead, he wanted to wait until Xu Yang left the secret realm before fully cultivating him. Because the Bone Sacrifice Pellets were simply too expensive, his sect only had the ability to nurture a single powerhouse.
If he gave the Bone Sacrifice Pellets to Xu Yang and Xu Yang died in the mystic realm, then his sect would truly be at the end of its rope.
Even though the sect was very poor, Xu Yang was tasked with the sect’s mission. This was also the reason why he couldn’t accept Long Chen’s good intentions.
This was also the reason why tens of thousands of sects lived in the cultivation world, and most of the resources were controlled by a small number of people.
A disciple of a large sect had a deep foundation. Even an ordinary disciple could jump ranks to challenge an elder of a small sect. This was the disparity between them.
"Boss, if these pills were completely digested, how many bones do you think everyone would be able to refine?" Guo Ran asked.
"If we distribute them equally, everyone can basically get close to eight hundred Bone Sacrifice Pills. According to the theories of the cultivation world, you can all refine more than sixteen bones." Long Chen said.
The Bone Forging Pill refined by Long Chen was different from the Bone Forging Pill sold outside. Its recipe was several times stronger and could fully activate the medicinal effect.
Most importantly, most of the medicinal plants that Long Chen used were alive. Even if they were already dead, they had just died and the medicinal properties of the medicinal plants hadn’t yet faded away.
For medicinal ingredients, their activity is the most powerful and they are also the easiest for others to absorb. Therefore, Long Chen’s Bone Sacrifice Pellet was at least ten times stronger than the Bone Sacrifice Pellets that were spread outside.
Because of Long Chen, there were many Bone Sacrifice Pills in some people’s spatial rings. Although the Bone Sacrifice Pills from the outside world were a bit inferior, they were unable to display the full power of the effects.
However, logically speaking, a difference of one to two times should be enough, but Long Chen had discovered a secret afterwards.
This secret made Long Chen sneer coldly in his heart. Long Chen discovered that these Bone Sacrifice Pellets had all been tampered with before, and it purposely decreased its medicinal effects.
From the very beginning, Long Chen had felt that this person wasn’t insane. A good pill would only cause one to be half crippled.
After thinking for a moment, he understood. The person who did this was definitely the person who sold the pill. With the price of the pill unchanged and the medicinal effects halved, one would need to buy more Bone Sacrifice Pills in order to refine more bones. This was simply a scam.
It was no wonder that a mere Bone Sacrifice Realm cultivator was able to scam a majority of the geniuses to death here. This was definitely done behind the scenes, and for the sake of his own interests, he would do anything.
Long Chen also discovered that whether it was the orthodox disciples’ Bone Sacrifice Pellets or evil disciples’ Bone Sacrifice Pellets, they had all been forced into a corner.
The effects were halved. However, these limbs could not be seen on the surface. Even if he ate it, he would not feel it. Only when he absorbed it would the effect be halved.
Only someone like Long Chen with the Pill Emperor’s memories would be able to see through this. According to the pill formula and the grade of the pill, this medicinal effect was incorrect.
The Bone Sacrifice Pills for sale in the world were all the same, because the Bone Sacrifice Pill was monopolized. All the sects basically ordered them from the Pill Tower.
Therefore, Long Chen came to the conclusion that there was actually a pack of black wolves under the divine outer robes of Pill Tower.
Fortunately, this group of black-hearted wolves was very cruel to everyone and was considered fair. Otherwise, if it was only the righteous path and not the evil one, then the righteous path would be finished.
At the same time, Long Chen also had another idea, which was to fight against the evil. The Pill Tower stood in a neutral position and didn’t help anyone. They only sold pills.
In that case, wouldn’t they be the ones to obtain the greatest benefits? Furthermore, neither side dared to offend them. This was truly the greatest joke in the world.
"Sixteen? Then that would be the Sixteen Divisions, then wouldn’t that be on the same level as the Sect Leader? Oh my god! Doesn’t that mean we can do whatever we want in the secret realm? " Guo Ran had a look of disbelief on his face.
It had to be known that in the Bone Sacrifice Realm, every time a bone was refined, the energy contained within the bone would be increased by a large amount, making the body even stronger. The Sixteenth Sacrifice was the legendary peak.
Guo Ran would never have thought that they would actually be able to reach the legendary top tier Bone Sacrifice Realm. The arrival of bliss was too sudden.
“Don’t be too happy yet. I told you to refine it according to the usual method. It can be used to refine sixteen bones, but you all chose to sacrifice all of them. If you use these pills, you can only refine four bones at most!” Long Chen said.
“No …” “It can’t be?” Guo Ran stammered. The difference between four pillars and sixteen pillars was just too great.
“There’s nothing I can do about it. To refine a bone, I need to refine all of the bones in my body before I can channel the power of the pill into the bone that you want.”
Because the Bone Opening Pill I gave you before is to open up all the meridians in your bones.
It’s like if you want to give a bun to a beggar, but you need to feed the two hundred and five beggars in front of that beggar from beginning to end before it’s that beggar’s turn, do you understand? " Long Chen said with a smile.
