Chapter 410: The Battle of Luo Tian (Part 2)
Chapter 410: The Battle of Luo Tian (Part 2)
If Fei Ming wanted to fight, he could assist from the side and maybe stand a chance against Qin Tai Ran.
But now, with the other party showing no desire to fight, how could he possibly stop Qin Tai Ran?
Long Quan clenched his fists, sensing the vigorous aura within Crimson Cloud Peak through his Divine Sense, muttering to himself, "Luo Chen, why did you have to provoke a domineering and cruel Flame Alliance Cultivator? What am I supposed to do now?"
Facing their indecision, Qin Tai Ran instantly understood their thoughts.
In an instant, he roared, "Fight or not, retreat or not, why are you still here?"
"Get out!!!
His voice reverberated for thousands of miles.
The powerful sound waves echoed endlessly, with only the word 'Get out' resounding.
Long Quan, the Elder, was forced to retreat three steps.
Realizing his cowardice, Long Quan's face turned red in an instant.
Was he going to let Qin Tai Ran kill someone before his very eyes? How would he maintain his reputation if this news spread?
Just then, a bone-chilling voice seemed to echo from the Nine Netherworld.
"The one who should get out is you!"
Accompanying the voice was a dazzling, icy sword light.
Qin Tai Ran abruptly turned, his long sword slicing down heavily.
Clang! The icy sword light instantly dispersed, transforming into countless icy intents that enveloped him.
In an instant, Qin Tai Ran's hair, eyelashes, and beard were covered in frost.
"Hmph!"
With a low grunt, he unleashed his surging fire-based Spell Power, melting the ice and frost.
Not only that, but with a kick, the furnace beneath his feet flew out towards the attacker.
A white light flashed, and a graceful figure slowly extended her left palm.
Layer upon layer of ice walls sealed the heavens and froze the earth.
Within the endless layers of ice, the furnace was frozen.
Qin Tai Ran's face changed slightly, and he quickly formed a Spirit Seal with his fingers.
Within the furnace, flames erupted, melting the ice layers, and it returned to his side with a rumble.
Only then did he have a chance to see the attacker clearly.
"It's you!"
Heartless Immortal glanced at Crimson Cloud Peak and then shifted her gaze to Qin Tai Ran.
"Two choices, either get out or die here!"
"You!"
Qin Tai Ran pointed at her, never having been scolded like this in his life.
However, recalling the moment of their brief clash, his expression changed dramatically.
"Have you advanced to the Golden Core Intermediate stage?"
Heartless Immortal didn't answer him but instead swept her gaze across the ground.
The land was ravaged, strewn with corpses and weapons, and the blood of countless Cultivators had almost dyed Crimson Cloud Peak red.
The previous battle had ceased due to the intervention of the Golden Core Senior, but the bloodthirsty eyes of the Cultivators testified to the brutality of the war.
She remained silent, but Qin Tai Ran's heart sank further.
Fei Ming himself was at the Golden Core Fourth Layer.
Heartless Immortal had also advanced to the Fourth Layer, and her Ice and Snow techniques were extremely effective against his fire-based abilities.
Additionally, the vigilant gaze of Qingdan Valley's Long Quan from the side.
If they truly fought, he would have no chance of survival!
Suddenly, Heartless Immortal raised her head, staring intently at him.
"It seems you don't want to leave."
"It's just right that the war between the two major sects hasn't stopped. Then, stay here!"
As she spoke, the ice sword floating beside her shot out.
In the sky, Fei Ming, the Golden Core Senior from Ailao Mountain, also laughed loudly.
"Just right, the Sword Sect killed my son-in-law, Fei Bai Wen, and never gave an explanation. Today, I'll use your head, a Sword Sect's lackey, to comfort his soul in heaven!"
As he spoke, a large seal smashed down with a rumble.
As the giant seal descended, a streak of green light shot out from Long Quan, silent and swift.
In an instant, all three of them made their moves.
Qin Tairen had been on guard, but even so, his heart trembled with fear.
"A bunch of bastards!"
"Burn!"
He slapped the furnace, and endless flames erupted, instantly dispersing the attacks from the three.
Then, he leaped and fled into the distance.
The Heartless Immortal let out a cold snort and chased after him.
Fei Ming grinned viciously, not wanting to miss the chance to beat a fallen opponent.
Especially the Heartless Immortal, who was known for her combat prowess in the Ice Fortress, and now that she had advanced to the mid-Golden Core stage, she was likely even stronger.
Moreover, she had a powerful advantage over fire-attributed cultivators.
With the two of them joining forces, they were determined to make Qin Tairen pay today!
Long Quan had just taken a step forward.
But after a moment's thought, he stopped.
He shook his head and flew back to the skies.
"Daozi, I'm back."
Tao Wan hummed in acknowledgment, her gaze sweeping across an area where a faint, slow streak of light was struggling to fly.
Long Quan raised an eyebrow, "Do you want to kill that little brat Qin Junjie?"
Tao Wan shook her head.
"Forget it, the Flame Alliance's Golden Core cultivators are shameless, but we in Qingdan Valley still have our pride."
"Let him go, he won't cause much trouble."
Long Quan understood.
With a sweep of his spirit sense, he located Luo Chen.
"Do you want to help?"
Tao Wan waved her sleeve, "No need, with his abilities, even without the Golden Core stage, he has few rivals. Let's go and see what the Absolute Emotion Immortal is up to, why she's so ruthless."
Long Quan's eyes lit up.
This was exactly what he wanted!
That old man Qin Tairen had nearly made him lose face earlier.
If he got the chance later, he wouldn't mind giving him a good beating to vent his frustration!
...
Deep within Danxia Mountain.
A massive figure slowly appeared, and in the blink of an eye, it returned to its original size.
He stepped out from the smoke and dust.
Sima Huiwang and Xu Xiaoliu waited outside.
Seeing him unharmed, Sima Huiwang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Xu Xiaoliu spoke up, "The Absolute Emotion Immortal broke through to the mid-Golden Core stage in seclusion in the Ice Fortress. When I went to deliver the news, she was still stabilizing her cultivation, so I returned late. Please forgive me, President!"
It was indeed late.
It took several months to get her to come out of seclusion.
But the timing was perfect.
It was so well-timed that Luo Chen felt it was intentional.
Luo Chen suppressed the irritability in his heart and walked outside.
"What crime have you committed?"
"Bring out the Absolute Emotion Immortal, and you will be greatly rewarded!"
"But first, let's deal with those scoundrels!"
Xu Xiaoliu's face lit up with joy. He had endured much hardship these past few months.
To receive the president's praise was like a sweet reward after bitter hardship.
Sima Huiwang followed closely behind Luo Chen, reporting the current situation.
"The overall battle situation is under control after the reinforcements arrived."
"However, the Flame Alliance's elder retreated, and with Zheng Xian killed by you, those subordinate cultivators are trying to escape without a leader."
"President, look..."
Luo Chen's steps paused, and a flash of anger crossed his face.
"Kill!"
"Pursue and kill!"
"Don't let a single one escape!"
"Even if they flee back to their homeland, we will exterminate their entire clan and destroy their sect!"
As soon as he finished speaking, spiritual energy wings appeared behind him, and he suddenly charged forward.
Like an arrow released from a bow, he rushed into the devastated battlefield.
Sima Huiwang froze in place.
She had never seen Luo Chen in such a violent mood.
Even in similar situations in the past, he had always acted with composure after careful consideration.
But now, he was only focused on slaughter.
Subconsciously, she thought of the previous battle.
Was it the powerlessness brought about by that Flame Alliance Golden Core cultivator? Or was it because the Heartless Immortal arrived late, causing him displeasure?
The answer to these questions, without the person involved, would remain a mystery.
She could only sigh softly and instruct Xu Xiaoliu to take care of Min Longyu before stepping onto the battlefield.
As soon as she reached the battlefield, the scene before her eyes was one of a one-sided massacre.
Chu Kui, Wang Yuan, Luo Feng, Chen Xiuli, Lian Yun, the Great Elder, five powerful cultivators spread out in all directions, reaping the battle.
Additionally, Kang Dongyue, Xing Zonghan, Li Yixian, Yue Chong, Qiu Liangyue, and other skilled cultivators coordinated with the remaining Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Luo Tian Association.
Among them, the most eye-catching was the constantly flashing red light.
One by one, the cries of cultivators echoed.
Each cry represented the fall of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Sima Huiwang frowned and began to gather the Luo Tian Association's cultivators, while also briefly assessing the casualties.
This decisive battle came and ended swiftly.
Especially after Luo Chen's first appearance, the tide of battle changed.
And when the Golden Core cultivator was drawn out, the battlefield even fell silent for a time.
Now, it was just the aftermath.
But no matter how quickly it ended, the casualties were still shocking.
As Luo Chen, covered in a bloody aura, approached, Sima Huiwang reported the simplest and most direct casualty situation.
"Among the Foundation Establishment cultivators, Bian Zhen, Su Xiaolin, Gui Jiang died. Li Ying Zhang was severely injured, Xu Zhenren was seriously injured, his subordinate's plundering feather eagle was blown up, Meng Juan Qinglian suffered from artifact backlash and lost a hand, Gu Caiyi's ghost general was dispersed, and Bai Mei Ling escaped into the Soul Nourishing Banner without a trace. Duan Feng and Min Longyu are unconscious."
Each name spoken represented a loss for the Luo Tian Association.
The later the Foundation Establishment stage, the greater the casualties.
Luo Chen's forehead twitched.
Zhou Yuan Li approached and spoke softly, "Among the Qi Condensation cultivators, hundreds were killed and injured, including Qin Liangchen, Liu Qiang, Xiu Gu, Li Ying Jun, Chi Jun Ran, Hao Tian Ye..."
There was no list of injuries.
Nor was there a list of deaths among the lower-level Qi Condensation cultivators.
Only the late-stage Qi Condensation cultivators, and those Luo Chen was slightly familiar with, were mentioned.
After hearing all the names, Luo Chen closed his eyes.
His spirit sense expanded, and he saw Meng Juan Qinglian cradling Qin Liangchen's body and weeping, Li Ying Zhang and Yuan Dongsheng piecing together a corpse on the ground, Zeng Yi Long kneeling and collecting his mother's body, Xu Zhenren, covered in blood, stroking the feathers of a young eagle with its feathers standing on end...
In the distance, Feng Xia fed pills and used her self-taught medical skills to treat Duan Feng, Spirit Medicine Pavilion's cultivators gathered around Bian Zhen's body, and the Luo Wang cultivator silently carried back Su Xiaolin, who was left with only his head...
"How could this be?
How could this be?"
Two consecutive sentences, one after the other, questioning others, yet also questioning himself.
It was expected that there would be casualties among the Foundation Establishment True Cultivators.
Once he appeared, he would inevitably attract the covetousness of the Golden Core Cultivators from the Flame Alliance.
So, from the very beginning, he had made up his mind to instantly kill as many threatening Grand Cultivators as possible, to stabilize the battlefield.
He wanted to create a favorable situation for the Foundation Establishment True Cultivators on the Luo Tian Association's side.
And indeed, he had achieved this, instantly killing several Grand Cultivators and severely injuring two others, including the Peak Foundation Establishment Zheng Xian!
In the process, some of his familiar friends might die, but he had also prepared himself mentally.
Who in this world could avoid death?
Even Luo Chen, after revealing himself, had long been prepared to risk his life in a battle against mid-stage Golden Core Cultivators.
But!
Regarding Qi Condensation Cultivators, the Luo Tian Association held an absolute advantage.
Such casualties were unacceptable to him.
Zhou Yuan Li sighed, "The number of Foundation Establishment True Cultivators on the enemy side is indeed too high. If they disperse even slightly, they can easily cause massive casualties to the Qi Condensation Cultivators. Qin Liangchen and Liu Qiang were killed while supporting me, as they joined forces to hold back a Foundation Establishment initial-stage Cultivator. Yuan Dongsheng and his wife led the Nong Hall Cultivators to assist Li Ying Zhang, but they were all killed by a single strike from the mid-stage Foundation Establishment Zheng Kejian. Li Ying Jun was among the dead. Xiu Gu sacrificed herself to protect her son, but she was killed by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator..."
"President..."
Luo Chen raised his hand.
In a short time, he seemed to have already accepted reality.
"Zhou Yuan Li, lead the team to clean up the battlefield."
"Gu Caiyi, lead the team to light the Soul Gathering Incense and try to recall the scattered souls of the Luo Tian Association's fallen Cultivators."
"Qu Lingjun, take my token and go to the Heavenly Wave Immortal City. Ask Sun Sheng Shou and her disciples to come and treat the wounded. Also, Mi Li, go and retrieve all the healing pills that the Dan Hall has stockpiled over the years to treat everyone."
"Hui Niang!"
The rest of the group received their orders and left.
Sima Hui Niang waited quietly for her instructions.
"I'll leave the matters on Crimson Cloud Peak to you, including Qiu Kuai and Wang Yuan."
Sima Hui Niang was puzzled, "What about you?"
Luo Chen turned around and walked towards the group of Foundation Establishment True Cultivators gathered nearby.
"Some things, once started, should naturally have an ending."
Sima Hui Niang opened her mouth, then immediately realized something.
Without saying more, she knew her role was to stand by his side and help him handle these matters.
...
"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Luo!"
The first sentence was as grating as it sounded.
However, Luo Chen knew that the speaker was sincere.
Under the attack of an enemy several times stronger, the Luo Tian Association had emerged victorious. How could this not be a joyous occasion! Moreover, a Golden Core Senior had personally intervened, yet the battle outcome remained unchanged.
Such a battle result was enough to astonish anyone.
Looking at the familiar faces, Luo Chen didn't feel like reminiscing and spoke directly.
"Everyone, I feel bad for making you come here in vain."
"Why don't we go for a walk outside?"
Go for a walk?
Luo Feng was startled, then immediately understood.
He exchanged glances with Chen Xiuli, and they nodded in silent agreement.
The rest of the group also understood what Luo Chen intended to do.
After the Golden Core Senior left, the battlefield became chaotic, and many people escaped.
Now, Luo Chen wanted to finish what he started and eradicate them all!
"We will go together!"
"I also want to visit the Feather Transformation Gate and see the mysteries of the so-called Feather Transformation Scripture."
"If they can do the first, we can certainly do the fifteenth. Fellow Daoist Luo, just tell us what to do, and we will follow."
"I was just worrying about not having enough battles."
Hearing the group's agreement, Luo Chen nodded.
As he took a step forward, he suddenly stopped.
He turned to look at the nearby spectators who were still lingering around.
His figure gradually rose into the sky, and he coldly said, "If you don't leave, do you intend to be guests on my Crimson Cloud Peak?"
His cold voice echoed in all directions.
In just a few breaths, thousands of Cultivators scattered like birds and beasts.
Not a single person remained.
What a joke! The Flame Alliance had gathered nearly forty Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, including eight Grand Cultivators, yet they couldn't defeat the Luo Tian Association.
What could this group of rabble offer as guests on Crimson Cloud Peak?
Their lives, perhaps!
As he watched the numerous escaping lights of the fleeing Cultivators, Luo Chen felt a slight relief in his heart.
However, it was still far from enough.
"Everyone, let's go!"
"The first place we'll visit is Rolling Dragon Ridge!"
His words were calm, but the killing intent in them was so intense that it chilled everyone to the bone.
...
On this day!
The Crimson Cloud Battle, which lasted for seven days, ended with the victory of the Luo Tian Association.
However, the chaos engulfing the Heavenly Wave Immortal City continued.
The source of this chaos was the Luo Tian Association's President, Dan Chenzi!
Dan Chenzi personally went to Rolling Dragon Ridge and used his unmatched Fire Technique to shatter the mountains and split the earth, unleashing a violent fire. The Zheng family, which had resided on Rolling Dragon Ridge for three hundred years, was thus eradicated.
The lucky family head, Zheng Kejian, who managed to escape, was captured alive by Dan Chenzi.
After eradicating the Zheng family, Dan Chenzi did not stop.
Leading a group of Foundation Establishment Cultivators, he attacked Iron Sword Mountain, where the Iron Sword Hall was located. Wherever they passed, not even Qi Condensation Cultivators could survive.
This brutality shocked everyone.
But it didn't end there.
The Wei family on Dust Mountain was eradicated.
The Shen family's array in Black Panther Mountain was broken, and the Foundation Establishment Cultivators who begged for mercy were still killed.
The Feather Transformation Gate had received the news earlier and had already been raided. With its disciples scattered, the entire sect was already in name only. After Dan Chenzi arrived, he shattered the main hall of the Feather Transformation Gate.
Subsequently, this group of Cultivators went to Yin Xiang and captured the fleeing Xiahou Kun. Dan Chenzi gouged out his eyes, and the Shen family's Grand Cultivator, Luo Feng, beheaded him. They then looted the Xiahou family.
Not far from Yin Xiang, the Constant Stream Canyon, which was also established based on a canyon, faced a similar fate.
The array, which relied on the canyon, was destroyed in an instant when the three Grand Cultivators worked together. As for their fate, it was no better than the others.
This turmoil shook the countless wandering Cultivators in the Heavenly Wave Immortal City.
It even showed signs of escalating.
Some opportunists also started to take advantage of the chaos.
However, before they could act, everything had already ended.
Because the Heartless Immortal had returned!
...
On the Heavenly Wave Peak.
Inside the House of the Third Stage Jia.
Luo Chen stood in the center of the main hall, and above him, the three Golden Core Cultivators stared at him.
The atmosphere was oppressive and restless.
