Chapter 1363 Aftermath
However, Man Lang overestimated himself.
If Chen Yang wanted him dead, he couldn't escape.
Chen Yang did not make a move himself. Instead, another figure blocked Man Lang's path.
Man Lang looked at the mysterious person who appeared before him and immediately realized that the opponent was at the Core Formation realm, and furthermore, at the Great Perfection of Core Formation!
With a Great Perfection Core Formation cultivator blocking the way ahead and a Nascent Soul realm cultivator behind, Man Lang's mind cleared up instantly. If he wanted to leave, he could only try to challenge the Great Perfection Core Formation cultivator before him.
"Get out of my way!"
Man Lang's body instantly enlarged. His claws were covered with powerful spiritual energy, and even the surrounding space was affected by Man Lang's movements.
However, the mysterious person blocking Man Lang did not dodge.
Instead, one hand firmly gripped Man Lang's claw.
Before Man Lang could react, the mysterious person's other hand directly snapped Man Lang's neck.
The strongest cultivator of the Man Lang tribe, at the Core Formation realm, did not last ten seconds in the mysterious person's hands.
When Qu Jinhong witnessed this scene, his previously furious mood instantly changed. Man Lang was dead, and this person, whose cultivation was even higher than his own, had died just like that!
Then himself!
The next second, Qu Jinhong's head disappeared without a trace.
"Brother Qu!"
"Big Brother!"
A rain of blood appeared above the camp. Everyone stared blankly at the person standing before Qu Jinhong.
One palm strike!
It was just one palm strike!
Qu Jinhong died just like that!
Man Lang had even had a chance to resist, but Qu Jinhong didn't even have that opportunity.
All of this happened within a few seconds.
Chen Yang did not wipe the blood from the Wood Thunder Sword. Instead, he looked coldly at the others in the camp.
"Terrifying?"
Chen Yang's voice was not loud, but everyone heard it clearly.
Was he talking to them?
Under this immense pressure, the vast majority of them had already mentally collapsed.
"Fear! Be afraid!"
"This is my mercy towards you."
...
When everything had settled, Lie Changsheng, suppressing his terror, came to Chen Yang's side and smiled at the mysterious person who had returned to Chen Yang's side.
Regarding this mysterious person, Lie Changsheng felt he had underestimated him.
Originally, Lie Changsheng thought this was just a servant of Venerable Chen Yang. But he had not expected that the person possessed the cultivation of Great Perfection Core Formation.
It was true that Venerable Chen Yang was at the Nascent Soul realm, but not every Nascent Soul cultivator would have a Great Perfection Core Formation cultivator accompanying them at all times.
One had to know that a Great Perfection Core Formation cultivator had a chance to become a Nascent Soul realm cultivator.
Chen Yang controlled Peng Tian Venerable, who was cleaning up the battlefield, and said, "After you finish cleaning up, it will be four parts for you and six for me."
Lie Changsheng was stunned for a long time before he understood what Venerable Chen Yang meant.
Lie Changsheng hastily waved his hands: "No, no, I just guided the way."
How could Lie Changsheng dare to accept the spoils from the battlefield?
He had witnessed the entire process just now, though it had not lasted very long.
Chen Yang waved his hand and explained, "Don't refuse. It's only right."
"Luoxian City still needs a lot of spirit stones to be rebuilt. Although the Feiyun Dynasty might provide you with some assistance, you will also have to expend considerable effort."
"Consider it as... my gift to Luoxian City."
Chen Yang's tone was filled with helplessness as he said this.
If his reaction speed had been a little faster, those people would not have died at all.
Before those enemy soldiers could make their move, he could have dealt with everyone. But all of this was just his wishful thinking.
Chen Yang had not expected to encounter such a situation as soon as he arrived in this world.
He only hoped that Luoxian City would develop better in the future.
Regardless of how Lie Changsheng thought about the future reconstruction of Luoxian City, in Chen Yang's heart, he wanted these ordinary people to live better lives, even if it was just to be safer.
Hearing Chen Yang's words, Lie Changsheng was deeply touched. He had been brought up from a nobody to become a figure in the Feiyun Dynasty.
Lie Changsheng's hands were also stained with the blood of many people.
However, he had never been as decisive and ruthless as Chen Yang had been just now.
Similarly, Chen Yang's concern for the lives of ordinary people was something that he, as the city lord, had never done before.
The gap between himself and Venerable Chen Yang seemed to be not only in cultivation but also in how they conducted themselves and their affairs.
"Venerable Chen Yang, rest assured, I will handle the aftermath properly."
After the battlefield was cleared, Lie Changsheng received his share from Peng Tian Venerable.
Although it was all placed in a spatial ring, Lie Changsheng had seen clearly just now that there were many spirit stones in this spatial ring.
As Lie Changsheng took the spatial ring, he discreetly covered it and took out some high-quality spirit stones, placing them in Peng Tian Venerable's hand.
Seeing the other party staring at him blankly, Lie Changsheng quickly explained: "Please accept them. Man Lang and I had some personal grudges. If I had dealt with him, I might not have killed him so easily."
"I am extremely grateful that Senior was willing to lend a hand!"
Lie Changsheng spoke with great emotion.
There was truth and falsehood in his words. Although Lie Changsheng did indeed have some personal grudges with Man Lang, it wasn't to the point of a life-or-death battle.
Lie Changsheng's most important objective was actually to befriend this Great Perfection Core Formation cultivator.
Great Perfection Core Formation realm also had another name: Quasi-Nascent Soul realm.
Although some people might not be able to break through to the Nascent Soul realm, these were the individuals whom Lie Changsheng dared to approach, speak with, and communicate with.
In front of Venerable Chen Yang, Lie Changsheng felt a sense of awe from the bottom of his heart.
He even dared not utter words of severance, because in front of Chen Yang, he was always a Core Formation cultivator.
But in front of this Great Perfection Core Formation cultivator, it was different.
It seemed that they would have many topics for deep conversation.
At this moment, Peng Tian Venerable was controlled by Chen Yang's spiritual power. Lie Changsheng's actions and every word he spoke were heard clearly.
Chen Yang naturally understood Lie Changsheng's intentions, but he did not expose them. The spiritual power on Peng Tian Venerable was masked by Chen Yang, making it difficult for even Nascent Soul realm cultivators of the same level to detect.
Under Chen Yang's control, Peng Tian Venerable reached out and accepted the spirit stones, speaking in a hoarse voice: "The Venerable gave you a gift, and I shouldn't accept it as I should."
"However, since you are so sincere, I will give you two pieces of advice."
Lie Changsheng's face lit up with joy, and he quickly leaned closer.
Peng Tian Venerable lowered his body and whispered...
