Gao Wu: Others practice martial arts, but you cultivate immortality?

"A divine weapon of this quality shouldn't be used by a martial artist of your level... It seems you have quite a background."

With blurred vision, Chu Yuan barely managed to open his eyes;

Through the swirling dust, he saw a tall Crystal Fire Clan member holding Mo Ying in his hand, his expression full of inquiry.

"..." Zhanfeng didn't use much time before he was forced to self-destruct;

Is Moying now following in its predecessor's footsteps?

Chu Yuan mentally complained, then secretly took out a night-blooming cereus flower essence and held it under his tongue, ready to swallow it at any moment!

The tall Crystalfire Clan member didn't care about his little tricks and calmly said, "You killed my dog, so you will be my dog."

Surrender, or die. I'll give you only three breaths to decide.

"This is still Ninth Legion territory, you're courting death," Chu Yuan mocked.

"I don't like your nonsense." He shook his head, and a wisp of light floated out from the crystal between his eyebrows and landed on Chu Yuan.

The light filaments expanded in an instant, forming a net that was deeply imprinted on Chu Yuan's exposed skin;

The intense burning pain shot through Chu Yuan, who couldn't help but groan!

Fortunately, I had the close protection of the black armor...

"I don't like your pretentious attitude either." Chu Yuan's eyes flashed, and the Glazed Void Domain was suddenly activated;

At the same time, the seventh-realm Crystal Fire Clan member solemnly looked up ahead!

A long, black arrow, seemingly distorting space itself, silently attacked! Like a top-tier assassin, a venomous snake lurking in the shadows... it arrived in an instant!

The crystal between his brows lit up, and he was about to retaliate when a not-so-weak mental attack suddenly struck...

Although it wouldn't cause him any serious injury, he was still inevitably momentarily dazed.

In that instant, he had no time to defend himself and could only slightly shift his body...

Before Chu Yuan could even see the trajectory of the black arrow, half of the Seventh Realm Crystal Fire Clan member's body suddenly exploded into a cloud of blood mist!

He channeled his spiritual power, and the black shadow he had thrown away returned to his hand...

Watching Zhang Yue sweep past overhead and chase after the streak of light in the distance, Chu Yuan quickly spat out the epiphyllum flower from under his tongue.

I told you showing off will get you killed, but you wouldn't believe me...

Defection, especially the defection of high-level martial artists, is a very serious matter.

Even if it were Zhang Yue, or even the commander of the Ninth Legion himself, Chu Yuan wouldn't be surprised...

It was precisely because his divine sense detected Zhang Yue that he did not rush to swallow the Ephemeral Flower Elixir.

"Chu Yuan!" Yuan Yang's voice came through, tinged with lingering fear.

He looked Chu Yuan up and down a few times before asking, "Are you alright?"

"fine."

Yuan Yang was relieved and said with a stern face, "You've only been in the outer battlefield for a few days, and you dare to provoke a seventh-level expert?"

"Give me another ten days or half a month, and you won't even consider the Eight Realms a threat anymore?"

"..." Chu Yuan felt wronged: "We can't just watch Dong Jianyuan run away..."

"Why didn't you wait until we got there before you started?"

Chu Yuan thought for a moment, and it seemed that Li Mengru had made the first move, which provoked the counterattack...

However, Li Mengru was still unaware of the situation, and he didn't want to explain, so he sighed and said, "I understand."

"Where is Tung Chien-yuan?"

"He's dead."

"Dead?" Yuan Yang was somewhat surprised, then his eyes darted around as he asked, "You killed him?"

"...What if I didn't kill him?"

"Then your contribution will be less... It's a pity about the Flame Gold on Dong Jianyuan's body; that's almost a year's worth of accumulation from Mine No. 7..."

Chu Yuan pondered: "What if I killed him, but I didn't get his storage ring?"

You know, I'm being hunted by the Seven Realms, I don't have time...

"That's enough. Let's respect General Zhang's intelligence..."

"What IQ?" Zhang Yue's voice suddenly rang out behind Yuan Yang, sounding like a ghost, startling Yuan Yang.

"Senior brother! Is it resolved?"

Zhang Yue sheathed his black longbow, frowning, and said, "What 'senior brother'? How many times have I told you, during official duties, use your official title!"

"Yes, yes, yes..." Yuan Yang responded repeatedly, then asked curiously, "What about that seventh-realm Crystal Fire Clan member?"

They ran away.

"He escaped!?" Yuan Yang was taken aback, a look of suspicion on his face. "You mean, after taking a full hit from your arrow, he dragged his heavily wounded body and fled while you were chasing him?"

Although he said a lot, Zhang Yue only heard four words: "What a piece of trash..."

Zhang Yue's face darkened immediately. He glared at Yuan Yang and then said to Chu Yuan, "Chu Yuan, you did a great job this time. You've exposed a cancer within the legion!"

I will personally recommend you for credit;

Continue with the mission...

After he finished speaking, he left immediately, without giving anyone else a chance to speak, and without asking about the whereabouts of the Fire Gold inventory in Mine No. 7.

Chu Yuan gave Yuan Yang a strange look;

"Captain, are you and General Zhang fellow disciples?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Yuan Yang fiddled with the large bow in his hand and laughed, "It's not hard to tell, is it? My bow is even bigger than his!"

"..." Chu Yuan thought to himself, no wonder he joined the Clock Tower Squad so smoothly;

No wonder the Bell Tower team accepted the mission of clearing out the Lianshan Secret Realm, which was both beneficial and would earn them favors... They even delayed for a few days to wait for me.

So, Old Zhang was actually looking out for benefits for his junior apprentice?

"Have you been to the mine?"

"That's where we came from."

"How is Mengru doing?"

Yuan Yang's smile faded, and he slowly shook his head, saying, "It's not good... Even if he wakes up, he'll probably have to retreat to the rear to recuperate."

Being ambushed by someone from the Sixth Realm is a miracle; it's a miracle they survived..."

"Can't it be cured?"

"Anyway, Wang Ying doesn't have any good solutions..."

......

Shuo Feng lay on his back on the ground, his lifeless eyes frozen in terror;

A long arrow stood upright between his eyebrows, pinning him firmly to the ground...

A battered figure quietly approached, searching for the bodies of Shuo Feng and Dong Jianyuan, occasionally glancing nervously at the sky.

However, he couldn't find any storage rings after all. He cursed under his breath a few times and quickly left.

It was that same seventh-realm Crystal Fire Clan expert from before!

Although he was caught off guard by Chu Yuan's trick, resulting in half of his body being shattered;

But as a seventh-realm being, one always has a few trump cards, and after paying a heavy price, they barely managed to escape.

He had initially held onto a sliver of hope, thinking he might come back to check if Dong Jianyuan's storage ring was still there, hoping the Flame Gold inside could at least make up for his losses... but he never expected the other party to have eaten it all!

That damned idiot Dong Jianyuan, didn't he know to hide the storage ring before he died?

But what's even more deserving of death is that young-looking Qin warrior...
