Chapter Eighty: Gift (First Update)
The Blood Sword Legion, as a force secretly nurtured by Ma Yan, is barely considered a second-rate force in Luoxia City, and also has its own garrison within the Wasteland.
One after another, the pursuers fell under Ye Chen's sword, which was undoubtedly a naked blow to the Blood Sword.
At this moment, the Blood Sword Army's base, except for those who were sent to guard the abandoned city gate and hunt down Ye Chen, all members are staying in the base. The entire Blood Sword Army is shrouded in Ye Chen's shadow, with low morale among its troops. Therefore, the Blood Sword had no choice but to recall the four Supreme Elders who were in seclusion within Luoxia City.
The four Supreme Elders were the greatest reliance of the Blood Sword Army in Luoxia City, and with their first-layer cultivation strength, they intimidated many hostile forces that had been eyeing the Blood Sword Army. This time, the four Supreme Elders divided their troops into two routes, with two stationed at the abandoned city gate and two stationed at the garrison, planning to ambush Ye Chen from both inside and outside!
The Blood Sword members were repeatedly slaughtered by Ye Chen, which made the Blood Sword members feel a wave of physical and mental exhaustion. The Blood Sword rarely considered the emotions of other members, but actually held a wine party at their base and invited many geishas to cheer up the Blood Sword members, hoping to alleviate their emotions!
At night, the Blood Sword Legion's camp was filled with music and dance, the raging fire illuminating the entire camp as if it were daytime!
Many geishas wearing revealing sleeves flitted about among the numerous big men, regardless of being ogled, twisting their hips and raising provocative erotic dances, causing many big men to stare intently at the geishas' curvaceous bodies with eyes reddening, as bursts of gulping sounds kept rising!
Xue Jian sat at the head of the platform, pushing aside several geishas who were rushing towards him. He shouted down at the big Han men below: "Brothers, don't be impatient! Tonight everyone will have a share! Now everyone should drink heavily and eat meat!" After finishing speaking, he picked up the large bowl on the table and poured wine directly into his throat with a gurgling sound, looking very heroic.
The two old men sitting next to Xue Jian's side had a red glow on their faces, seeing that Xue Jian didn't have the slightest bit of arrogance as the team leader, and a hint of admiration appeared in their eyes. With such demeanor from the leader of the group, the future of this group is bound to be bright. They lightly raised the wine cups in their hands and toasted Xue Jian!
The Blood Sword members under the table saw that the two Supreme Elders were like this, and naturally followed suit, raising their wine cups to toast Blood Sword, saying: "Thank you, Captain!"
The cheers and applause continued for a while, pushing the atmosphere on site to its peak!
Although Blood Sword's appearance is rough, there is refinement within the coarseness; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to manage an entire legion so well. As he gazes at the crowd, his eyes continue to wander back and forth over the dancer's body. With a calm smile, he waves his hand at everyone, saying: "Take your beloved women home now! Tomorrow we'll formally hunt down that scoundrel, so tonight you can indulge yourselves to your heart's content! Don't hold back!"
The woman's charm and physiological needs have alleviated the crowd's fear of Ye Chen, the big men smashing their large bowls to the ground, shouting: "Must kill Ming!"
Looking at the high morale of the Han people around him, Xue Jian couldn't help but reveal a pleased smile. His two large hands grasped the two voluptuous women beside him, constantly moving back and forth on their proud twin peaks. The two women entwined themselves around Xue Jian like beautiful snakes, several low, mournful sighs rising up beside his ears.
"Blood Sword, old friend has arrived, why not come out to greet!" A thunderous shout came surging like a tidal wave, echoing across the sky, drowning out the moans and curses of the crowd. All eyes were fixed in astonishment on the distant figure, where a dark silhouette was faintly emerging.
The big man who had stretched into the woman's arms forgot to continue advancing, staring at the black shadow that floated from afar with a look of horror. Once fear was born, it was as if a seed had been planted in his heart, and one day it would sprout. The horrified expression surged onto the big man's face like a tidal wave.
The Blood Sword and the two Taishang elders who were at the first level of Lianwu immediately stood up from their positions, looking solemnly at the black shadow. They felt a breath that made even them feel terrified in that direction. The two Taishang elders' underestimation of Ye Chen disappeared instantly, replaced by utmost seriousness!
A dark shadow suddenly swept from afar to above the crowd, its speed so fast that it was impossible to see any movement, only a faint afterimage lingering in the eyes, barely discernible as a human figure, and the sharp explosive sound lingered beside people's ears for a long time...
A long sword gleamed with a cold light, and under the stirring of that dark shadow, it immediately drew out a sharp, piercing sound as it shot straight towards the location where everyone was!
Looking at the extremely powerful sword energy, none of the strong men in the field dared to confront it head-on. Many geishas screamed and rushed towards the stone platform in a frenzy, trying to avoid the sword energy from hitting their bodies. For a moment, they were in a state of utter disarray, forming a stark contrast with their earlier bold and ambitious shouts!
Xue Jian gazed out at the chaotic scene below, a sigh in his heart: "The enemy has yet to arrive, and already their hearts are in disarray! Useless!"
With a wave of his right hand, a gust of clear wind swept by, and Ye Chen's extremely powerful sword aura vanished instantly like autumn leaves falling from the trees!
Still clad in a black robe, with a silver mask radiating a cold glow, the aura of his true energy slowly circulated around him, what shocked Blood Sword and others was the breath that leaked out from Ye Chen's body, that breath was almost identical to the two Supreme Elders of Blood Sword, Refining Martial Realm.
Months ago, he was just a young boy like an ant, but now he has grown to the point where he is now, and the sound of gasps can be heard.
Compared to astonishment, what Blood Sword felt more was a chill in his heart. In just a few months, this young man had grown to such an extent that he didn't dare imagine what would happen after a few years...
"Old friend, Blood Sword, you don't have anything to say?" Ye Chen's expression remained unchanged, his eyes seemed to hold a deep meaning as he glanced at the two old men. The three strong practitioners of the Refining Martial Realm in the Blood Sword Army were quite capable, although their strength was far inferior to that of the Ye family, they couldn't be underestimated.
"You're quite bold, aren't you? Alone and yet daring to jump into the net!" The corner of his mouth twitched as Blood Sword sneered.
"Alone? No, I have companions!" Ye Chen smiled mysteriously and suddenly his figure burst out, his long sword attacking the three Blood Swords. The sword energy brought a chill to wherever it went, causing many strong men to shiver uncontrollably, tightly gripping their swords!
However, this offensive was so unbearable in the eyes of Xue Jian and others.
Taking advantage of the moment when Blood Sword did not make a move, Ye Chen's body slightly turned at an angle and dodged past Blood Sword's three people to fall in another direction.
In the moment of Blood Sword and others' astonishment, a furious roar suddenly appeared out of thin air, shaking everyone's eardrums in pain. They all looked at the massive body of the iron dragon beast with shocked faces, its forehead having a curved black horn emitting a cold glow, and a pair of fiery red pupils that made people's hearts tremble.
Looking at that massive body, a hint of anger and horror rose to the faces of Blood Sword and others. Calculation, it was actually calculated by this kid.
Ye Chen's figure flickered like a ghost between the pavilions, and Blood Sword was furious at this moment. Facing the enraged Iron Dragon Beast, he had to give up the idea of pursuing Ye Chen and suddenly shouted: "All of you retreat, immediately withdraw from the garrison!"
The big Han, who had been feeling unwell from the beginning, immediately fled wildly to the rear like a river flowing into the sea upon hearing this sentence. The previously eye-catching dancing girls were ruthlessly pushed to the back and cries of despair echoed out, but no one cared about those dancing girls at this critical moment of life and death!
The Iron Dragon Beast did not see Ye Chen's figure, and for the human who had been provoking its dignity all along, it was deeply resentful. Its huge mouth opened wide, revealing rows of snow-white giant teeth. A flame shot out from within, forming a dragon-shaped fire tornado in mid-air, emitting waves of roaring sounds as it attacked the fleeing men!
The three Blood Swords gazed at each other, then rushed towards the Iron Dragon Beast. Their long swords stirred up, and their true energy surged forth, transforming into countless sword auras that slashed through the air, striking the massive body of the Iron Dragon Beast with a loud clanging sound, like metal colliding with metal. This level of attack was negligible to the Iron Dragon Beast's hard outer shell, which only further stimulated its frenzy.
Innumerable flames fell like rainwater, slashing down on those strong men's bodies!
The giant's body was immediately engulfed in a raging inferno the moment he came into contact with the flames, and in the blink of an eye, he had turned into a pile of ashes, looking exceptionally terrifying!
The Blood Sword members below were constantly being incinerated by the massive flames, their swords moving faster and faster. Countless sword auras merged into one, concentrating all of their sword energy to unleash the strongest strike - also the Blood Sword's greatest reliance: the High-Grade Martial Skill "Falling Thousand Fathoms"!
One fell swoop, the extremely compressed sword energy streaked across the sky, rushing straight towards the copper bell-like blood red eyes of the Iron Dragon Beast. However, the massive body of the Iron Dragon Beast suddenly shot backwards, unexpectedly avoiding that terrifying sword energy. The sword energy violently struck the ground, not only failing to hit the Iron Dragon Beast but instead chopping down on the Blood Sword members.
A bloody scene was reenacted, several big men were cut in half, and the bloody smell stimulated the beastly nature of the iron dragon beast.
Looking at the miserable scene, Xue Jian was extremely unwilling to rush towards the direction of everyone's escape, resolutely abandoning the stronghold that had been fought for three years. After all, the three people were also deeply frustrated by the Iron Dragon Beast's strength, and they retreated after achieving their goal of blocking them. The anger in his heart had already made Xue Jian's face extremely ferocious.
However, the Iron Dragon Beast that had been chasing Ye Chen for a whole day was abnormally stubborn. The members of the Blood Sword Sect chased after it, occasionally spitting out flames to burn several members of the Blood Sword Sect to death, and occasionally using its tail to whip several members of the Blood Sword Sect to death. Just like this, a beautiful landscape line appeared in the wasteland!
Slowly removing the mask, a leaf was stuck at the corner of his mouth, leaning against the tree trunk, Ye Chen looked quite comfortable as he gazed at the gradually disappearing figure.
"Little kid, this little kid is going to be driven half to death!" Huo Qilin's lazy voice rose beside Ye Chen.
"It's nothing, I'm used to it. My mental endurance will increase!" Yue Chen said lightly, shrugging his shoulders, and with a sudden push of his feet, he vanished into the treetops in an instant.
The Blood Sword Corps was hunted down by a third-tier magical beast, Iron Dragon Beast, around the entire wasteland, and for a time became the topic of conversation among many warriors after dinner.
The Blood Sword Corps' resentment towards Ye Chen has reached new heights, issuing countless orders to hunt down and kill him. Moreover, they have also invited several assassin corps to join in the pursuit of Ye Chen, this time sparing no expense in their determination to eliminate him!
The protagonist Ye Chen, who caused this event, hummed a little tune and slowly moved forward towards the unknown valley, and was extremely proud of his masterpiece!
