They continued forward, and soon a small path trampled out appeared before their eyes, winding into the depths of the forest. Walking along the path for less than the time it takes an incense stick to burn, a faint sound of weapon clashes and suppressed shouts suddenly came from ahead.The three immediately stopped in their tracks, exchanged glances, and saw vigilance in each other’s eyes.
"Let’s go take a look." Luo Qingchen lowered his voice, signaling the two women to conceal themselves.
They stealthily crept forward, parted the dense bushes, and saw two groups fiercely battling in a clearing in the forest ahead.
One group had about seven to eight people, dressed in uniform blue attire, and they were Qingmu Sect disciples! Leading them was a slender tall man at the intermediate stage of the Golden Core, wielding a blue longsword, executing ruthless swordsmanship. Judging by their appearance, they were somewhat bedraggled, with injuries on their bodies—seemingly the remaining people who escaped from Luofeng Slope.
Their opponents were five cultivators dressed in various colors, with cultivation levels varying from the refining stage of Foundation Establishment to the initial realm of Golden Core. These five coordinated seamlessly, their assaults fierce and relentless, targeting only the vital points of Qingmu Sect’s disciples, seeming intent on annihilation.
"It’s the Qingmu Sect people!" Su Xiaowan exclaimed softly, a trace of disgust flashing in her eyes.
Luo Qingchen’s gaze fell on the five assailants. These people had vicious strikes and chaotic aura, unlike distinguished sect disciples, more resembling loose cultivators on the fringes of the cultivation world, or outright bandits.
"Strange, why would Qingmu Sect people clash with such disreputable folks?" Su Xiaowan asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Seems like Qingmu Sect has become someone else’s prey." Lin Wan’er said coldly, she too felt no goodwill toward Qingmu Sect.
On the battlefield, although Qingmu Sect disciples were more numerous, having suffered heavy losses at Luofeng Slope and been hunted by vicious beasts, they were already at their last gasp. Now, facing these five wolf-like cultivators, they were retreating continuously.
"Puff!" A Qingmu Sect disciple at the refining stage failed to dodge in time and was struck at the back by a burly man wielding a Ghost Head Saber. With a miserable cry, he fell to the ground.
"Junior Brother Liu!" The slender tall man at the intermediate stage of the Golden Core roared in fury, forcing his opponent back with a sword, intending to rescue, but two other initial Golden Core cultivators tightly entangled him.
"Heh, heh, old dogs of Qingmu Sect, today is your death day!" The burly man wielding the Ghost Head Saber sneered grimly, stepping on the dying Qingmu Sect disciple with eyes full of cruelty.
"Damn it! Just what are you people? Why are you hostile to our Qingmu Sect?" The slender tall man cried out in grief and anger.
"Just taking money to handle someone’s troubles." A sneaky-looking initial Golden Core cultivator holding a poisoned short blade grinned, "Someone is paying a great price to buy the lives of all Qingmu Sect survivors who escaped from Luofeng Slope!"
"What?!" The slender tall man was shocked and pale.
Luo Qingchen and the others were also stirred upon hearing this. Someone actually put a bounty on the Qingmu Sect disciples who escaped? Who could it be? Zhao Family? Or other factions that bore grudges from Meteorite Pit?
"Stop wasting words with them! Finish swiftly, lest delays bring further trouble!" The leader, an eagle-nosed, sinister-eyed cultivator at the intermediate stage of Golden Core, coldly commanded, launching even fiercer assaults.
Qingmu Sect disciples were already demoralized; hearing this, their minds fell further into disarray, revealing signs of defeat.
"Senior Brother Luo, do we..." Su Xiaowan looked to Luo Qingchen, somewhat hesitant. Though she detested Qingmu Sect, witnessing such brutal slaughter, she couldn’t help but feel some pity.
Luo Qingchen’s eyes flickered. He definitely wouldn’t help Qingmu Sect. However, he might extract some useful information from these people. Also, these five ruthless cultivators, keeping them around would be a scourge.
Just then, a sudden change occurred!
The Qingmu Sect disciple being stepped on by the burly man wielding the Ghost Head Saber suddenly showed a flash of crazed determination in his eyes. He opened his mouth wide, spitting a jet of dark green poisonous mist, while detonating his own Golden Core!
"Not good! He’s going to self-detonate!" The burly man wielding the Ghost Head Saber turned pale, hurriedly retreating.
Boom!
A loud explosion erupted, wild energy mixed with toxic mist swept in all directions. Though the burly man retreated swiftly, he was still buffeted by the shockwave, blood churning within, his arm tainted by the poisonous mist, emitting a "sizzling" corrosion sound.
"Ah! My hand!" The burly man screamed in agony.
This sudden self-detonation caused a brief chaos on the battlefield.
"Opportunity!" Luo Qingchen’s eyes shone with a sharp light.
His figure flickered like a ghost, dashing out from the woods, his target—the injured burly man!
"Chaos Sword Technique · Sky Splitting!"
A condensed gray sword light burst forth, swift as lightning!
The burly man was already injured, panic-stricken, having no time to anticipate a sudden attack; hastily, he raised the Ghost Head Saber to his chest.
Crack!
The Ghost Head Saber snapped in response, the gray sword light, unabated in momentum, pierced through his chest!
"Urgh..." The burly man lowered his head incredulously, staring at the gaping wound on his chest, his vitality swiftly fading from his eyes.
This unexpected scene made both sides of the battle pause in astonishment.
"Who are you?!" The eagle-nosed intermediate Golden Core cultivator shouted fiercely, eyeing Luo Qingchen with vigilance.
The slender tall man from Qingmu Sect was also taken aback, but as he recognized Luo Qingchen’s face, his pupils shrank abruptly, exclaiming, "It’s you?! Luo Qingchen!"
He had recognized the young man before him, the very culprit at the entrance of Luofeng Slope, who caused them grave losses and snatched the Star Map copper plate!
