The wicked complain

"Boom."

The sound of explosive arrows kept ringing out in front; flesh and blood flew everywhere, and screams echoed through the valley, resembling Hell on earth.

Behind the valley, the Disciples of the Xuantian Branch were also emitting explosive sounds from their bodies from time to time. The sounds of Breakthroughs rose and fell, and their Aura surged to the sky.

Today was already the seventh wave of Evil Path Disciples who had come to deliver themselves as food. Even Long Chen had become somewhat weary of this repetitive trap-killing method.

However, there was no other way. The Evil Path Disciples just loved this. Watching the Disciples here Cultivate made them so angry that their faces turned red and their necks thick, and they rushed over like madmen. It was unknown why the young people nowadays were so unable to keep their composure.

If one had to say who was the most excited on the entire battlefield, it was not those Disciples who were having a Breakthrough, nor was it the Core Disciple-level experts who had awakened their ancestral marks; it was Guo Ran.

Never in his life had Guo Ran realized that his existence in this world was such a meaningful thing.

It was as if his existence had lit up the whole world. The heavy-barrelled Po Jun Crossbow on his shoulders had become scorching hot from firing arrows at high speed, but Guo Ran still could not feel it and was still firing desperately.

Watching the scene of flesh and blood flying, Guo Ran found the true goal of his life. Especially when he saw those Evil Path Core Disciple-level experts dying by his own hands, the excitement was something only he knew.

Seven waves of Evil Path Disciples, most of them died at his hands. This was a kind of glory, an indescribable glory.

Tang Waner and the others woke up from their Cultivation one after another. What surprised Long Chen was that almost everyone had forcefully made a Breakthrough by one level.

It was evident what tremendous benefits a life-and-death battle had brought them. They had not dared to dream of this; this was the so-called "the greater the pressure, the greater the rebound."

What made Long Chen the most delighted was that Tang Waner had originally been at the Early Stage of the Tendon Tempering Realm, and now after the Breakthrough, she had reached the Middle Stage of the Tendon Tempering Realm.

One must know that the Early Stage was a shackle. Once this shackle was broken, one stepped from the Early Stage into the Middle Stage, and their combat power soared.

Moreover, everyone had broken through under the pressure of a life-and-death battle, so there was absolutely no such thing as an unstable Foundation.

And the Core Disciples like Gu Yang, Song Mingyuan, and others had all advanced to the 3rd Heaven of the Tendon Tempering Realm.

This made those Core Disciples feel high-spirited. Especially those Disciples who had just had their Awakening of the ancestral marks; after feeling the power of the ancestral marks, they were simply going to go crazy with excitement.

When the dust covering the sky dissipated, those Disciples cleaned up the battlefield in an orderly manner. The level of proficiency was astonishing; in less than a quarter of an hour, it was all done.

When everyone was preparing to repair the traps, they were stopped by Long Chen. Everyone was puzzled.

Long Chen laughed and said, "This should be the last wave of small fry. The traps are useless now. News from above says that the Evil Path army will arrive soon, and we must start moving forward to prepare for the final battle."

"Hahahaha, it's finally time to have a big fight. I feel like my fists are already starving and impatient," Gu Yang couldn't help but laugh loudly.

Others were also rubbing their hands, their faces full of excitement. Even Tang Waner and Ye Zhiqiang were flashing their beautiful eyes, full of anticipation.

This time their strength had skyrocketed, and most importantly, they had withstood the test of life and death, and their state of mind had been greatly improved.

Although it could not be said that they were no longer afraid of death, at least they could face death calmly and were no longer afraid or panicked.

Only in such a situation, no matter when or where, could they exert their strongest combat power and would absolutely not be overwhelmed by the opponent's Aura.

"Aman, wake up, it's time to set off."

Long Chen shouted. Everyone couldn't help but laugh. Aman had been sleeping for two days. Whether it was the battle in front or the Disciples having a Breakthrough beside him, he couldn't be woken up.

Long Chen knew that Aman was saving his energy. His Physique was very special. Once he started moving, he would consume precious energy, so he needed to keep eating to maintain balance.

This time, the expedition was too hasty. Cang Ming was busy forging weapons for the two of them and didn't have much time to take care of Aman, so Aman's rations during this period were all hunted by himself.

This time when they returned, there weren't many rations left, so Long Chen came back, and Aman simply slept. This could slow down his consumption, otherwise, he would have to eat as soon as he opened his eyes.

Not long after being woken up by Long Chen, Aman felt as if his stomach was beating drums. He was unbearably hungry, so he took a Demonic Beast leg out of his spatial ring and started gnawing on it.

Everyone was used to it. Long Chen gathered everyone and said with a serious face:

"The previous battles were just child's play. What we encountered were all some bottom-tier characters, not the mainstream of the Evil Path. They were all just boring things.

What we are about to face are the true Evil Path experts. Regardless of their cultivation or combat power, they will not be inferior to you, so no one can be careless.

Right now, our team is still complete; not a single person has sacrificed themselves. I also very much hope to maintain this myth and continue fighting.

Unfortunately, myths only exist in legends. Still, the same words: if half of the people here can return alive, it can already be considered that the heavens have opened their eyes.

Therefore, in the next battle, we must go all out and use the weapons in your hands to cut off the heads of the enemies.

Use their blood to stain our battle robes red, use their Soul to sacrifice our will, and use our unyielding will to witness our hot blood!"

"Set off!"

Following Long Chen's shout, everyone roared, and their Aura shook the sky. Under Long Chen's leadership, they rushed forward.

…

More than eight thousand miles away from the valley where Long Chen was, on a bare mountain, thousands of experts gathered.

This was the gathering place for the Righteous Path experts. In front were more than three hundred Elders of the Bone Forging Realm, and Tu Fang was among them.

The law enforcers led by Senior Brother Wan, along with Senior Brother-level Disciples from other forces, stood behind the many Elders, ready for battle.

Those Elder-level experts were all staring at a jade token in their hands. Faint lines appeared on it, and on the lines, a point of light was slowly moving.

"I wonder how the Disciples of the Branch are doing, and how many Disciples have already fallen," an Elder of the Branch looked at the jade token in Tu Fang's hand and couldn't help but sigh.

This battle between the Righteous and Evil Paths broke out too suddenly. According to the cycles of the past, it should have happened at least several years later.

However, this outbreak had no warning at all, catching them completely off guard.

As the largest Sect in this area, the Xuantian Branch had to guard the most dangerous area. Under such successive great battles, there would definitely be many casualties among the Branch Disciples.

Unfortunately, their communication talismans were all one-way. They could only simply notify them of some situations, but they did not know the situation there. At the same time, they could only roughly determine their location.

Now that the light point was moving, it meant that the Branch Disciples were moving towards the destination, and the Disciples of other Sects were doing the same.

However, the Elder-level experts of several small Sects had ugly expressions because the light points in their hands were not moving, which meant that the Disciples of this force had been completely wiped out.

Although most of the paths that the Evil Path Disciples had to take were contracted by the Xuantian Branch, a small portion of the Evil Path Disciples still arrived at other places.

"Elder Tu Fang, the Disciple of your Sect, Long Chen, secretly ran to the border guarded by my Blood Luo Sect and ruthlessly slaughtered my Blood Luo Sect Disciples. He even killed four Elders. Please, Elder Tu Fang, uphold justice for my Blood Luo Sect."

A long-bearded old man brought a group of Disciples and ran towards this side, saying with an angry face.

This person was none other than the Vice Sect Master of the Blood Luo Sect. Hearing from his subordinates that the four great Elders of his Sect had been killed by someone, he was both shocked and angry and came to ask for justice.

Although the Blood Luo Sect was a small Sect, as part of the Righteous Path Alliance, this breath had to be vented, otherwise, how could they stand in the future?

Tu Fang looked at the Vice Sect Master of the Blood Luo Sect indifferently and said, "It seems Your Excellency heard the news but didn't hear the details before rushing over here, right?"

The Vice Sect Master of the Blood Luo Sect was stunned. It was indeed like that. He had just heard that the four great Elders of the Sect had been killed, so he rushed over directly. He did not know the specific details.

However, according to his prediction, it was absolutely not Long Chen who made the move. He thought that Long Chen was in the Xuantian Branch, pampered by some Elder, and it was that Elder who made the move in secret to kill the four great Elders. He did not believe that a new Disciple had such strength.

Tu Fang said coldly, "You had better ask clearly. Didn't you see the Disciples behind you hesitating to speak?"

The Vice Sect Master of the Blood Luo Sect looked back and saw a Disciple winking at him.

"Speak, what is going on? Why are you stuttering?" The Vice Sect Master of the Blood Luo Sect couldn't help but be furious.

That Disciple broke out in a cold sweat. I just said one sentence, and you rushed over all the way, not giving me a chance at all.

But now he wanted to say it, but in front of so many people, he dared not say it. If he said that the four great Elders conspired to frame Long Chen and his father, and ended up being killed instead, he believed that the Vice Sect Master would definitely slap him to death, so he dared not say a word.

"Yao Qixiang, forget it. You don't know what kind of people your Blood Luo Sect are?

Unable to catch Long Chen to take revenge, you want to borrow a knife to kill someone. In order to kill Long Chen's father, you actually didn't hesitate to let the whole city suffer from the slaughter of the Evil Path.

I'm really curious, are you the ancestors of the Evil Path? Evil Path Disciples are just vicious, but they are definitely not as insidious as you!" An Elder-level expert said coldly, obviously having had a grudge with the Blood Luo Sect.

"Fart, you dare to slander my Blood Luo Sect!" The Vice Sect Master of the Blood Luo Sect was furious and pointed at the person, scolding.

"Tch, don't pretend to be a big tail wolf there. Don't tell me you don't know anything about this. What are you pretending for? Bah." That Elder obviously was not afraid of him and spat fiercely.

The Vice Sect Master of the Blood Luo Sect's face sank. Just as he was about to speak, Hua Yu suddenly said coldly, "I can testify that those scum of your Blood Luo Sect deserved to die!"

As soon as Hua Yu spoke, the Vice Sect Master of the Blood Luo Sect's face changed immediately. He dared not talk back to Hua Yu; Hua Yu represented the Heavenly Wood Palace.

Although there were few Disciples in the Heavenly Wood Palace, their strength was not inferior to the Xuantian Branch at all, and his Blood Luo Sect could only look up to them.

Since Hua Yu had said this much, he dared not say anything else. Besides, regarding this matter, he had guessed a few points from the expressions of the crowd just now, but he was just hard-headed and refused to admit it.

Just as everyone was silent, Elder Sun, who had not spoken in the Branch, suddenly stood out and said:

"Regardless of what happened, Long Chen left his post without authorization during the battle between the Righteous and Evil Paths, disregarding the life and death of thousands of Disciples. This is a capital crime!"
