Chapter 2288: Chapter 840: Jin Ling Falls, A Heart Fit to be Condemned
As for those lower order cultivators…
At that moment, the atmosphere of despair began to spread across the battlefield.
…
“Gao Chang, this is the first time I’ve seen you fail.”
Jinxiu Immortal glanced at Luo Chen with some surprise, and said indifferently to the white-clothed man beside her.
Gao Chang tugged at the corner of his mouth, creating an exaggerated arc, as if his whole face was about to split open.
“This person has seen me before, so he’s always been on guard.”
Jinxiu Immortal was momentarily stunned, then her gaze fell on an area of the battlefield flattened to the ground.
“No wonder their first surprise attack didn’t target Qiansuo, didn’t kill Huang Fengke, nor did it trouble the three Lu brothers, but targeted Bai Lan, whom you parasitized. I see now!”
“No matter, this person is just a bit tough physically, plus he has a protective body demon… savage beast?”
As Gao Chang spoke, his gaze paused on Black King, his face showing an uncertain expression of surprise.
Fourth-order Wild Beast?
Where did this crawl out from in the old lands of the wilderness?
Jinxiu Immortal didn’t care about these things, looking at the extremely silent battlefield, her cold face revealed an impatient expression.
“The Tiandu Domain has delayed us too long, finish it off quickly!”
With a wave of her long sleeve, the other Demon Emperors immediately received the command.
A grand battle was about to unfold once more.
It can be imagined, the following engagement would be a one-sided massacre!
But at the instant Jinxiu Immortal issued the command, a look of scary surprise appeared on her face.
Instinctively she brushed and pushed away the white-clothed man beside her.
Then a thunderbolt fell from the sky, dangerously scraping between them, even destroying her sleeve.
Thunder entered the earth, cracking the ground.
Only then came the rumbling sound of thunder, spreading loudly.
“Worthy of being the beloved concubine of Ancient Demon Emperor Di Tian, Jinxiu Immortal truly lives up to her name. But can you save this little ghost for a moment, can you save it for a lifetime?”
A thundering voice descended from the sky.
Everyone looked up to see ominous clouds gathered above the Nine Heavens.
A towering figure leaning on a pitch-black great sword, looking down upon the vast earth.
“Lei Daozi!”
Jinxiu Immortal uttered the title of the incoming figure, her face changing drastically.
Without thinking, she issued an order.
“Retreat!”
In fact, not waiting for her command, Gao Chang, who had just considered everyone as prey, had already started running ahead.
Faced with this scene, Lei Daozi coldly smiled, casting a white net towards Gao Chang, then waved his hand.
“Chase!”
“Leave these daring beasts who violate the Eastern Wasteland on this soil!”
Behind him, the ominous clouds dispersed, revealing figures one by one.
A group of ten people!
And each of them was at the Nascent Soul Stage!
Judging from the insignia on their clothing, these people were clearly cultivators of the Dark Abyss Sect!
Lei Daozi issued the command, and he didn’t lag behind, flashing like lightning, chasing after Gao Chang.
From beginning to end, he didn’t say a word to Luo Chen and Fenghua Fairy.
Ignoring, yet seemingly dismissive!
Fenghua Fairy’s previously rigid body suddenly relaxed.
Then, anger surged on her face.
“Friend Luo, killing just one demon won’t ease the hatred in my heart. I intend to assist the Mingyuan cultivators to hunt down these demons, you…”
Luo Chen shook his head, his figure rapidly shrinking.
“Go ahead, I won’t get involved. Since assistance has arrived, our task is already mostly complete; what follows is just finishing beautifully.”
Returning to a normal state, Luo Chen still wore a spotless white robe, as if this brief and extremely dangerous battle had not affected him at all.
Fenghua Fairy looked at Luo Chen deeply, clasped her fists, then transformed into a beam of green light, pursuing the enemy.
After they left.
Luo Chen slowly floated down to the ground.
Black King swayed its massive body, swimming over.
“Master, that fellow, is a bit strange, seems like a ghost creature, yet somewhat like a wild beast.”
“Hmm.”
Luo Chen replied softly, in the brief moment of contact, he also sensed the peculiarity of the one named “Gao Chang”.
Only not as deeply as Black King felt.
His steps halted before a corpse with a wide-open chest, Luo Chen sighed softly, his expression complex.
True Master Jin Ling, has fallen!
From the very first encounter, Luo Chen never had a kind expression for this person.
Not only due to Shenyuan’s old thief scheming against him, but also because his friends from his youth, Duan Feng and his wife, fell in the battle supporting the Liangyi Xilin in the Wuji Domain following this person’s command.
The reason Jin Ling specifically transferred Duan Feng was merely because Duan Feng was skilled at identifying ores.
For the sake of his friends, Luo Chen could not treat this person amicably.
Let alone turn foes into friends like Master Li and Lin Qingxuan had done.
But after several times fighting alongside Jin Ling, the powerful prowess he displayed gained Luo Chen’s somewhat approval.
This was not a weakling!
Even in today’s battle, facing the Qiansuo Demon Emperor, who somewhat countered his fighting style, Jin Ling still had the upper hand throughout.
What a pity…
“A pity he didn’t die by my hand!”
Luo Chen gestured, and the last two golden feathers fell into his hand.
Then, he commanded the Black King, who promptly swallowed Jin Ling’s corpse whole.
After completing all this.
A Glint flew out from the ruins of Heaven Pillar Mountain and appeared before Luo Chen.
“The Alchemy Sect!”
Luo Chen looked at the middle-aged man with a slightly pale face and bowed slightly, “Indeed, it is my sect!”
Tian Quanzi looked hesitantly at the giant dragon behind him.
Luo Chen smiled, “This is my Spiritual Pet, of no concern.”
Tian Quanzi shook his head, “I didn’t mean that, I was referring to Daoist Jin Ling’s body…”
Luo Chen’s smile faded, “You don’t need to worry about that, just say he died at the hands of the Demon Emperor, with no remains left.”
Tian Quanzi was stunned, with so many witnesses, who would believe it if said aloud!
Luo Chen didn’t want to discuss this any further and suddenly said, “I have an impertinent request, may I see the remains of your sect’s three departed friends?”
Tian Quanzi frowned and instinctively wanted to refuse.
But considering Luo Chen’s help to the Tiandu Sect today and the fact that he did not flee even when the Dark Abyss Sect reinforcements appeared, despite being at a disadvantage, he ultimately agreed.
Before long, Luo Chen found himself in a spacious hall.
The remains of the three Nascent Soul Elders who fell from the Tiandu Sect lay here.
Unlike others, these three did not have wounds that penetrated their chests and abdomens.
“How did they die?”
“Ambushed, when we released the Nascent Souls to reinforce the Eight Trigrams, he appeared suddenly, devouring the Nascent Souls of three junior brothers. Had I not reacted quickly and withdrawn my Nascent Soul to the Purple Mansion, I would have met the same fate.”
“Didn’t he attack you afterward?”
“No time, I activated the Big Formation and teleported him briefly out of Heaven Pillar Mountain.”
…
Luo Chen didn’t stay long at the Tiandu Sect; after inquiring about the specific circumstances of the time, he let the Black King carry him leisurely towards Lingtian Pass.
Sitting cross-legged atop the dragon,
with a Great Soul Pill in his mouth, he began to heal the Divine Soul Injury caused by the backlash of the Illusion Technique.
The Xuan Chen Armor on his body, full of pits and craters, also began to slowly recover as Qi Power was released.
As night fell, Luo Chen slowly awoke.
Aside from the slight backlash on the divine soul, he had sustained no other injuries in this battle.
With the Great Soul Pill, those wounds were negligible.
If it weren’t for Gao Chang’s sudden attack, Luo Chen, who had broken through the formation, would have had full confidence in dealing with the Lu Family’s three brothers unharmed.
“Gao Chang…”
Sitting cross-legged on the dragon’s back, Luo Chen quietly muttered the name.
“Savage Beast, Ghost Creature!”
“Ignoring protective shields, Qi Armor, undeterred by physical Magic Item attacks.”
“Extremely fast, capable of breaking a cultivator’s Purple Mansion Barrier, feeding on Nascent Souls.”
“The method to counter… a powerful physical body infused with Desolate Beast Origin Force, and the Power of Thunder specifically to curb Yin Ghosts!”
The final conclusion was drawn from Gao Chang’s terrifying reaction upon Lei Daozi’s appearance.
Zhang Che, known as Lei Daozi, had been famous for a long time, but what truly placed him at the pinnacle of the Eastern Wasteland’s genius was his comprehension of the Thunder Path Rule’s True Intent.
Judging by today’s performance, even Jinxiu Immortal dared not confront him directly.
Fame, not without cause!
“But he had clearly arrived long ago and ignored our fierce battle, leading to the on-the-spot death of four Nascent Soul True Masters.”
“His heart deserves to be punished!”
Luo Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly, his muttering voice filled with a harsh coldness.
