At this moment, twenty men dressed in green Taoist robes stood outside, led by an old man who looked to be in his fifties.
"Are these all NPCs? They look so real," someone exclaimed in surprise.
"Could they be from the Qingcheng Gang?" Lin Ye muttered softly.
"Damn it, we haven't even developed properly yet, and the other side is already impatient to steal our crystal?"
Ye Wuyai cursed angrily, took out a longbow from behind his back, and aimed it at the old man.
Chen Shaocong appeared extremely excited, holding two machetes and itching for action, shouting, "What do you say? What do you say? Should we go?"
"The sect announcement said that killing an enemy disciple earns five contribution points, which means five thousand yuan per person."
Someone said this, and the crowd immediately became chaotic, drawing their weapons one after another, ready to fight to the death.
The old man initially wanted to inquire, but seeing them draw their weapons, he gave up the idea.
The other party had already confirmed their identity.
"Where is the Soul Devouring Rat?"
His answer was an arrow.
Whoosh—
This arrow was like a battle horn; everyone roared and charged forward collectively.
"Lin Ye, let's deal with that old man together!" Zhao Shijie roared, his long spear like a silver dragon, striking directly at the old man's head.
"Understood!"
Lin Ye brandished his long sword and rushed towards the old man.
"Two little brats at Smelting Body Realm sixth-stage, you don't know your place!"
Facing their offensive, the old man snorted coldly and made hand seals.
The next second, a fireball appeared in front of them.
Before even getting close, Zhao Shijie already felt the scorching heat of the fireball.
"Get out of the way!"
They reacted quickly, dodging to the side.
The fireball grazed their clothes and smashed into the ground.
"This old man is a Qi Refining Stage expert, be careful," Zhao Shijie said softly, then charged at the opponent again.
On the other side, the others charged at the Qingcheng Gang members like madmen.
Chen Shaocong held knives in both hands and unleashed a fierce barrage of attacks on one of them.
The two machetes turned into a whirlwind, slashing fiercely at that disciple.
Bang, bang—
That disciple had never seen such a reckless opponent and frantically drew his sword to block.
Even more excited than Chen Shaocong was Gongdi Xiao Wang.
His cultivation realm was not high; he had not yet reached the Smelting Body Realm, and with just one encounter, he had an arm severed by the enemy.
He swung his hammer, muttering repeatedly, "Five thousand yuan, my five thousand yuan."
Boom—
The hammer smashed into the ground, emitting a dull sound.
Blood stained his clothes, and at the same time, it stimulated his nerves.
That disciple had just dodged the attack when he saw the opponent pounce on him.
"Seeking death!"
He snorted coldly and pierced Xiao Wang's chest with a sword.
Thud—
Gongdi Xiao Wang completely disregarded the pain in his body, tackled the opponent to the ground, then opened his bloodied mouth, like a wild beast, tearing at the opponent's neck.
"Ah!!!"
That disciple let out a scream, holding his long sword and repeatedly stabbing Xiao Wang's body.
Rip—
At the moment of death, Xiao Wang used all his strength to tear off a large chunk of flesh from the opponent's neck, and his entire body fell into a pool of blood.
That disciple clutched his neck, his eyes gradually losing focus, and finally collapsed beside Xiao Wang.
This was just a microcosm of the two sides; severed limbs were everywhere.
Xu Yuan and Shu Ya hid in the middle of the crowd, screaming repeatedly; they had never seen such a bloody scene.
"What are you screaming for? Hurry up and go! It's not like they're really dead, damn it!"
Chen Shaocong, who was nearby, was annoyed by their screams; he had been cut by a sword in the chest, and the pain made him sweat profusely.
"Chen, Young Master Chen, I'll help you!"
Although Xu Yuan was somewhat afraid, seeing Chen Shaocong injured, he knew his chance to prove himself had come and immediately rushed fearlessly towards that disciple.
Pfft—
He was pierced by a sword.
Before he could even scream, that disciple swung hard, and Xu Yuan's entire body split into two, dying with his eyes wide open.
And at that very moment, Chen Shaocong used all his strength to chop off the opponent's head with a knife.
However, the direction of his cut was slightly off, and the blade got stuck in the opponent's skull.
"Be careful!"
Just then, a long sword suddenly appeared in Chen Shaocong's line of sight.
Thump, thump-thump—
Time seemed to stop at that moment; he could even hear the violent pounding of his own heart.
In his vision, the sword tip gradually enlarged, and death instantly enveloped him.
Pfft—
At the critical moment, a figure blocked Chen Shaocong's front, and blood splattered on his face.
He stared blankly at the back in front of him, feeling a little unfamiliar.
"Hey, what are you staring blankly for? Stab him quickly!"
Jiang Xiaoxiao gripped the sword blade tightly with both hands, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and turned her head to shout at Chen Shaocong.
"Oh, oh!"
Chen Shaocong instantly sobered up and raised his knife to chop at that disciple.
However, this disciple was different from the others; he was extremely experienced in combat, and as the machete fell, he bent down to dodge, then kicked Jiang Xiaoxiao away and pulled out his long sword.
Both fell to the ground.
Chen Shaocong used his remaining arm to help Jiang Xiaoxiao up, anxiously saying, "Are you alright?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao's mouth was still bleeding, and she said in a trembling voice, "You, you're so stupid."
"What are you still standing there for? Quickly exchange for Lesser Revitalizing Pill for her!"
Huo Sichun rushed over, holding her long sword and charging forward.
The next second, her entire body flew back, landing beside them.
"Please exchange for another one, thank you," Huo Sichun rubbed her chest, almost unable to catch her breath.
"Young Master Chen, I'll stop him, you quickly save them!"
Seeing that disciple come at them with a sword, Shu Ya, who had always been timid, screamed, closed her eyes, and charged forward.
Pfft—
Her head flew high, blood spewing from her neck, and she slowly fell to the ground.
Chen Shaocong at this moment wished he could kill the opponent, and also hated himself for being too weak.
He hurriedly fed two Lesser Revitalizing Pills into Jiang Xiaoxiao and Huo Sichun's mouths, then picked up his long saber and was about to charge forward to fight the opponent to the death.
"He is at Smelting Body Realm seventh-stage; you are not his match. Go kill the others."
Qin Zhenhua blocked Chen Shaocong's front, hastily dropping a sentence, then bent his legs and charged directly at the opponent.
In the secret forest, when encountering a high-level opponent, they had summarized a method: trade injuries for injuries, and lives for lives.
So Qin Zhenhua immediately used his ultimate move.
"Heavenly Absolute Slash!"
The long saber charged forward, descending from the sky.
That disciple's eyes narrowed; he gripped the hilt of his sword with both hands and held it above his head.
Bang—
The saber and sword broke into two pieces.
That disciple reacted quickly, thrusting his sword into Qin Zhenhua's body.
However, Qin Zhenhua didn't even blink, plunging his saber into the opponent's neck, and stabbing several times.
Chen Shaocong, who was watching the battle, stared blankly at Qin Zhenhua, muttering, "So strong!"
"Wuwu, Senior Sister, I haven't killed anyone yet, my contribution points are gone!"
Jiang Xiaoxiao crawled up from the ground, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth.
"Don't worry, if we can't do it from the front, then we'll go from the back. Follow me."
Huo Sichun pulled Jiang Xiaoxiao and ran to the other side, leaving only Chen Shaocong alone on the ground in a daze.
When he came to his senses, only a pile of corpses remained around him.
