Chapter 428: Breaking the Formation and Entering the Valley, Luo Chen's Frenzy of Slaughter (Part 2)
Chapter 428: Breaking the Formation and Entering the Valley, Luo Chen's Frenzy of Slaughter (Part 2)
Even a casual reward from him, coupled with Dan Yangzi's own Foundation Establishment Stage Grand Completion cultivation, made it difficult for ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators to contend against him.
After Qiu Daopure also soared into the sky, the momentum of the two remaining groups did not diminish but intensified like boiling water with the lid lifted, reaching a boiling point.
On Luo Chen's side, everyone's gaze fell upon him.
Facing these gazes, Luo Chen grinned ferociously.
Behind him, a pair of crimson illusory wings appeared.
Moreover, beneath his robe, there were also white armor plates formed from condensed blood essence.
"What are we waiting for!"
"Follow me and kill!"
As he spoke, he charged ahead, leading the way towards Incense Fragrance Valley.
Without hesitation, Wang Yuan and Chu Kui followed suit.
Upon witnessing this, Dan Yangzi's eyebrows rose slightly, as if seeing Luo Chen for the first time.
Previously, when they competed on the alchemy platform, Dan Chenzi didn't seem to have such a temperament, did he? But at this moment, there was no time for hesitation.
"Azure Pill Cultivators, follow me!"
At the same time, the subordinate cultivators from the Ice Fortress and Ailao Mountain who had accompanied them also joined the charge.
On the other side, in Incense Fragrance Valley, numerous cultivators took to the sky, brandishing various weapons in preparation for battle.
Inside the valley, thousands of Qi Condensation Cultivators gathered under the guidance of their elders, forming some kind of combined formation array.
The depth of a major sect was truly extraordinary.
Even Qi Condensation Cultivators, under the combined formation array, could participate in battles among Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
At the forefront, Luo Chen, with his extraordinary keen observation, naturally noticed this scene.
"Wang Yuan, Chu Kui, protect me!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
In the next moment, Wang Yuan didn't hesitate and directly slapped the Mystic Armor Talisman onto his body.
His body expanded, and in the blink of an eye, he swelled to a height of two zhang, becoming a towering giant! Chu Kui took a deep breath and placed the Golden Core Half Pill in his mouth.
His long staff emitted a golden-black glow.
When it came to protection, they gave it their all! As the two people Luo Chen trusted the most, they held nothing back and unleashed their full power from the start.
Watching this scene, Xiao Lian, who was commanding the cultivators in the distance above Incense Fragrance Valley, felt his eyes twitching.
It seemed like something bad was about to happen.
The next moment, he saw Dan Chenzi in the midst of the two protectors, holding a dark sword and chanting incantations.
Vast spiritual energy surged from his body, rising intensely.
Anyone witnessing this scene would know that Luo Chen was about to unleash a powerful move.
"Stop him!"
Xiao Lian roared.
In the next instant, countless magical tools and treasures flew towards Luo Chen and the others.
However, it was too late!
For this battle, Luo Chen had been plotting for far too long.
He had repeatedly rehearsed all the scenes in his mind.
Although it appeared to be spellcasting, in reality, he had already prepared everything in advance.
At this moment, he was merely completing the final step.
Luo Chen soared into the sky, gripping his sword, and thrust it downwards.
That sword seemed to pierce through the void and plunge into the earth.
"Mountain Collapse!!!"
His face contorted with rage as he shouted each word.
The next moment, the mountains surrounding Incense Fragrance Valley on all sides trembled.
Then, simultaneously, they all collapsed! Countless boulders, like falling meteorites, rained down with scorching flame streams, shooting in all directions.
Facing this move, the Yan Meng Foundation Establishment Cultivators desperately tried to resist.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sound of rocks tearing through the air reverberated continuously.
However, in Xiao Lian's eyes, it was nothing extraordinary.
"I thought it was some powerful move, but it can't even reach the strength of the Foundation Establishment Stage. How dare you show off like this?"
As the explosion gradually subsided, he scanned his surroundings.
He found that aside from a couple of unlucky ones, the Yan Meng Foundation Establishment Cultivators had suffered minimal damage.
This made him even more dismissive.
However!
"Sect Master Senior Apprentice! Look down there!"
What happened down there?
Xiao Lian instinctively looked down, and in an instant, his eyes widened with fury.
Inside Incense Fragrance Valley, the ground was cracked, and boulders were flying everywhere.
Streams of lava flowed, devouring lives in their path.
Thousands of Yan Meng Qi Condensation Cultivators, who had formed an array, lay scattered on the ground.
Countless people were wailing in agony.
The sound of their cries and screams filled the air, causing even a Foundation Establishment Grand Completion Cultivator like Xiao Lian to tremble in his heart.
Without counting them all, he only took a rough glance.
He realized that Dan Chenzi's previous move had almost killed over a thousand Qi Condensation Cultivators.
Those who survived by chance didn't bother with maintaining their formation and flew away from the ground, their faces filled with fear as they witnessed this scene.
It was the formation that did it! Yes, it was because they gathered together that gave Dan Chenzi the opportunity to strike with an area-of-effect attack! Otherwise, how could Foundation Establishment Cultivators unleash such powerful damage, even with large-scale destructive spells?
After understanding this, Xiao Lian's lips quivered, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
These were all his disciples!
Suddenly, he shouted, "Dan Chenzi!"
"You disgrace the name of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator by ruthlessly killing low-level cultivators!"
"I will make you pay with your life!"
After a loud roar, he glared with wide-open eyes and waved his hand.
Hundreds of Foundation Establishment Cultivators under his command surged towards Luo Chen.
He himself was also among them.
This was the task given by Qin Taoran before he left.
Luo Chen was the instigator of this siege on Yan Meng, and killing him would surely disrupt their morale.
Perhaps it could alleviate Yan Meng's crisis!
Facing the surging tide of cultivators, Luo Chen took a deep breath.
Disregarding the dignity of Foundation Establishment Cultivators and killing low-level cultivators?
Haha!
When you besieged Crimson Cloud Peak, your Yan Meng subordinates did the same.
I'm merely returning the favor.
Qin Da Ge, Liu Qiang, Xiu Gu…
These over a thousand Qi Condensation Cultivators are here to be your funeral escorts!
Beside him, Chu Kui's anxious voice rang out.
"Luo Chen, what should we do now?"
Luo Chen lifted his head, gazing at the surging waves of Foundation Establishment Cultivators, his expression calm as he said, "Don't worry, we have people on our side too!"
Chu Kui was taken aback.
But the next moment, behind them, waves of Foundation Establishment True Cultivators surged forward.
As they passed by, some of the True Cultivators looked at Luo Chen with curiosity and shock.
No one had expected that Dan Chenzi, renowned for his alchemy skills, would make such a grand entrance.
The mountains surrounding Incense Fragrance Valley were all once Spirit Mountains fortified by Yan Meng's arrays for three hundred years!
Could they really collapse so easily?
They were unaware that, according to Falling Cloud Sect's intelligence, these mountains had long lost their Spirit Mountain status.
A thousand puppets and ten Golden Core Senior Cultivators had bombarded Yan Meng, leaving the area in ruins, barely holding together.
Luo Chen merely took advantage of the situation, unleashing a single Grand Completion Mountain Collapse technique.
The threat from these Qi Condensation insects had been eliminated.
Next, it was time for the true battle between Foundation Establishment True Cultivators.
When the waves of cultivators from both sides reached a distance of a hundred zhang, the first wave of attacks erupted.
Various magical treasures and talismans burst forth.
Spiritual energy waves surged, sweeping across the battlefield.
Just the first wave resulted in over ten casualties.
Especially on Luo Chen's side, where the casualties were higher!
There was no choice; after all, this was a hastily assembled alliance, lacking the cohesion of Yan Meng's cultivators.
Sensing this situation, the group of Late Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators led by Danyangzi made a quick decision, dispersing their formation.
Yan Meng didn't want to suffer such casualties either.
They too dispersed in four directions, engaging in a chaotic battle.
Amidst the chaos, several figures were rushing straight towards Luo Chen.
It was Yan Meng's current Sect Master, Xiao Lian!
His intention to kill Luo Chen remained unwavering.
However, halfway through his dash, he was intercepted.
"Xiao Lian, I'll be your opponent!"
Danyangzi held the Purple Evil Saber, his forehead flashing with a purple evil pattern, blocking Xiao Lian's path.
Xiao Lian's expression changed, "Danyangzi, we have no grudges or enmities, why push each other to the brink?"
"No grudges or enmities?" Danyangzi's face turned angry, "You killed my younger brother in the Blackwater Swamp, do you think I don't know?"
Xiao Lian was taken aback.
But Danyangzi didn't give him a chance to explain, as a purple true yang energy swelled at the tip of his sword.
Meeting face-to-face, it was time for a life-or-death battle!
At this moment, Xiao Lian could no longer spare any thoughts for killing Luo Chen.
Danyangzi, the previous generation's Green Cauldron Valley Daoist Patriarch.
If not for the continuous battles that weakened him, Tao Wan would never have been able to secure the Daoist Patriarch position.
With his abilities, Xiao Lian couldn't afford to be distracted.
"You have the Primordial True Fire, but do I not?"
Xiao Lian's face turned stern, and he spat out a withered white flame from his palm.
The two flames collided, and in an instant, layers of energy waves erupted, affecting an area of several dozen zhang around them.
The nearby battling Foundation Establishment True Cultivators were forced to retreat frantically.
In the distance.
Luo Chen retracted his gaze, looking at the two figures beside him.
"How are your injuries?"
Chu Kui shook his head, "No problem, we were far away, and their attacks were weakened by seven or eight-tenths. It's not a big deal. Plus, Wang Yuan is blocking in front."
Luo Chen's gaze fell upon Wang Yuan.
His tall figure stood like a mountain, shielding them.
At this moment, his body was torn open, revealing his bones.
But with each breath, surging blood energy flowed, healing his wounds.
Moreover, armor-like scales covered his naked body.
This technique resembled the Armor Art from Luo Chen's "Ten Thousand Dao Converging" technique.
Sensing Luo Chen's gaze, Wang Yuan said in a deep voice, "I'm fine, I can continue fighting."
Indeed!
Not only had he mastered Essence Transformation Mastery, allowing him to deflect most physical attacks, but he also had the Mystic Armor Talisman given to him by Luo Chen.
These attacks, from such a distance, had already lost most of their power.
They couldn't inflict fatal damage on Wang Yuan.
Luo Chen's expression flickered, and his gaze swept across the battlefield, finally surveying the surroundings.
Those watching loose cultivators were still unable to hold back!
Not enough!
This wind wasn't strong enough to sway these fence-sitters!
"Since it's like this, then let's fight!"
"Enter the Valley to Battle!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Yuan charged forward, leaping into the Incense Fragrance Valley like a small mountain.
The Mystic Armor enveloped his body, and the Blood Serpent coiled around him.
His eyes shone like lanterns, and his hands grasped as if plucking stars.
Under his attacks, Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment Cultivators were no match for him.
Even the mid and late-stage Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators paled upon witnessing this scene.
Soon, Yan Meng dispatched powerful cultivators to besiege Wang Yuan.
Chu Kui also leaped into the battlefield.
He struck a Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer Great Cultivator with a club.
This was the strategy they had agreed upon earlier.
Fight individually!
The reason for this strategy was Luo Chen's next move.
Holding the Black Flame Sword, his Fiery Cloud Wings fluttered slightly.
Luo Chen's Spirit Eyes scanned the entire battlefield.
In this situation, he dared not release his Divine Sense, as it could easily backfire.
However, his cultivated Spirit Eyes served as an excellent observation tool.
In just a moment!
Luo Chen quickly formulated a plan!
He opened his mouth and took a deep breath, as if swallowing an air dragon from all directions.
Then, he closed his lips, and his wings trembled.
Luo Chen vanished from his original spot.
...
Zheng Jun!
A Yan Meng cultivator who had reached Foundation Establishment three years ago.
Currently, he was still at the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage.
In such a grand battle, he was insignificant, and a moment of inattention could lead to his demise in the aftermath of combat.
However, he was lucky to encounter an opponent also at the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage.
Although the opponent's cultivation was one level higher, they were merely an affiliate of a major sect.
Regardless of the magical treasure's grade or the abundance of spiritual energy, they were far inferior to him.
As such, the opponent was now at a disadvantage.
However, he wasn't in a hurry to determine the victor.
"Let's keep the combat zone at the edge of the battlefield; it's easier to ensure our safety this way."
Just as Zheng Jun was feeling proud of his tactics, a red light flashed in his peripheral vision.
"What's that?"
This was his last thought before his death.
The Ailao Mountain vassal Foundation Establishment Cultivator, who was struggling to hold on, now showed a look of difficulty.
But the next moment, he saw the enemy's head suddenly fall.
Blood sprayed, almost splattering onto him.
"What...?"
He looked at the flashing red light with uncertainty, and then a thought popped into his mind.
"Dan Chenzi?"
As his gaze shifted, he saw Luo Chen's figure approaching another Yan Meng True Cultivator at the edge of the battlefield with unimaginable speed.
Then, a sword strike!
He couldn't help but swallow his saliva, "Why is Dan Chenzi not seeking out the late-stage True Cultivators of the enemy, but only targeting the early-stage Yan Meng True Cultivators?"
However, there was no time for further contemplation.
Not far away, someone was calling out to him.
"Junior Brother, come and help me!"
This person gritted his teeth. Regardless, Luo Chen had saved him.
Moreover, on the battlefield, there was no room for moral righteousness.
They were all Foundation Establishment Cultivators; what difference did it make between early and late stages?
Life and death were simply a matter of inferior technique.
He turned and ran towards his senior brother.
...
Outside Incense Fragrance Valley.
Thousands of low-rank loose cultivators were spectators of this battle.
They didn't care who won or lost; they were only interested in potential gains.
For some high-level cultivators hiding in the shadows, they naturally hoped for Yan Meng's defeat.
That way, they could reap greater benefits.
As for Luo Chen's side? The composition was too complex.
Even if they lost, these cultivators wouldn't dare to take excessive action.
After all, they had to consider the powerful Golden Core Sects backing these cultivators.
In the shadows, several divine perceptions were in constant communication.
"Fifth Ji, you're here?"
"Jiang, you're here too!"
"I came for the rumored Thunder Jade obtained by Yan Meng from the Deity Relic, and you?"
"Me too!"
"I doubt it. I heard you have some connection with the newly ascended Nascent Soul Master from the Jade Cauldron Domain. Will you take action in this battle?"
"Let's talk about it later!"
"Yes, at least we should wait for the Golden Core Daoists to determine the victor before we make a decision."
"Indeed!"
"Fifth Ji, who do you think will win?"
"It's hard to say. A battle between Golden Core Cultivators isn't something that can be decided in a short time."
The Golden Core Senior with the surname Fifth was watching the high-altitude battle when he suddenly heard exclamations.
Following the gazes of the Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment Cultivators, he quickly noticed something unusual on the battlefield.
In an instant, his brows furrowed.
"This Dan Chenzi, despite his great reputation, is quite unrefined in his actions!"
Within his line of sight, Luo Chen's body transformed into a red escape light, constantly moving across the battlefield.
Each strike took a life.
Most of the souls that fell to his sword were early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
"I thought he had quite the spirit when he first struck, using an ultimate spell to destroy Yan Meng's Qi Condensation Array. But now, disregarding his status as a senior cultivator, he's only targeting Foundation Establishment True Cultivators with lower cultivation levels. Tsk tsk, is this the style of the young generation that stirs up the Jade Cauldron Domain?"
His disdainful remarks were not hidden and naturally reached the ears of the other Golden Core Seniors.
Some agreed.
However, a Golden Core Senior from the same domain offered a different perspective.
"Fifth Ji, you're from another domain and might not know the full story."
Fifth Ji was puzzled, "What's the story?"
The Golden Core Senior from the shadows explained, "This Dan Chenzi, although from the marketplace loose cultivators, possesses quite exquisite pill refinement skills. He even established a small sect called Luo Tian Association based on this skill."
"But two years ago, the Luo Tian Association was called upon by Yan Meng cultivators to become their vassals, and they were besieged by several times their number in Foundation Establishment Cultivators."
"Not only that, but the Yan Meng cultivator currently fighting, Qin, also tried to kill Dan Chenzi."
"Yan Meng was the first to bully the weak."
Fifth Ji listened with surprise.
He had only agreed to help the Falling Cloud Sect when the situation changed significantly.
He hadn't expected such grudges and feuds to exist.
He muttered, "It seems Dan Chenzi is quite a man of character, treating others as they treat him."
Jiang, the Golden Core Senior from the same domain, joined the discussion.
"Yes, it's probably tit for tat, blood for blood! Moreover, we can't deny that the young man's fighting style has indeed changed the situation!"
Regarding this battle, it seemed that Luo Chen's side had the upper hand.
But in reality, he had only managed to assemble a team with a stronger paper strength than Yan Meng.
In comparison, although Yan Meng had fewer cultivators, they were from the same sect, at least as vassals of the same sect.
With united efforts, their strength surpassed Luo Chen's side.
But Luo Chen's tactics were now constantly changing the situation.
In a short time, he had relieved pressure in over a dozen areas, allowing the freed cultivators to join another area, creating a situation of many against few.
Not only that!
Under the watchful eyes of several Golden Core Seniors, Luo Chen's figure flashed even faster, his super-fast speed impressing even the Golden Core Seniors.
And the enemies he targeted with his sword were no longer limited to early-stage cultivators.
Mid-stage and even late-stage cultivators were now within his attack range.
One by one, Yan Meng cultivators fell.
The battle situation in Incense Fragrance Valley became increasingly clear.
