Bang!
The burly man's body soared several feet backward and smashed to the ground; a mixture of blood and dust dispersed into the air.
"He killed Senior Brother Liu?!"
"It's just a lucky shot. Must be a mistake. Yes, must be."
"I think he and the little demon girl are in the same group. For heterodox doctrines of this nature, we don't have to bother with morality and justice anymore, let's take them on together!"
The expressions of the remaining four disciples of Secret Sky Sect grew increasingly hideous. They decided to strangle this dangerous young man from the Spiritual Mist Stage.
"Secret Sky disciples, one heart, one mind, kill him!"
The four disciples of Secret Sky Sect that were left roared one after another. They used the profound arts taught by the sect. Their bodies shone blue light, and they formed an encirclement. They all roared with great passion and headed toward Chu Chen!
The enemies came from all directions. Chu Chen obviously had nowhere to go, and these four disciples seemed as though they were ready to put everything they had into the next attack. All of them looked more ruthless than the burly men before.
Chu Chen was surrounded in every direction and it seemed as though he was about to be crushed to pieces.
His eyes narrowed again; Chu Chen's spiritual consciousness had reached its limit! Once again, he was able to capture the changes and trajectories of everything in the world.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The crisp sound of four heavy but fists hitting flesh could be heard, and the four Secret Sky Sect disciples were sent flying back in every direction like cannonballs.
At the moment that they were about to attack, Chu Chen's body suddenly shrank, and he avoided the attack from the four of them at the same time. He then sank his shoulders and elbows and let out four punches which were as fast as lightning.
This was an extremely ordinary and basic boxing technique- Fist Shock in All Directions! The external disciples of all major sects were familiar with it.
However, in the hands of Chu Chen, such a dated technique into something lethal, an extremely simple move was able to simultaneously hit four disciples of Secret Sky Sect whose stage was far above his.
To be precise, the attack was on their Blood Spots.
Puff! Puff!
The four disciples of Secret Sky Sect spewed blood by the mouthful. They flew ten feet in the air before landing on the ground one after another, knocking up a bunch of dust in the process.
The vitality in their eyes had completely dissipated. They were motionless, and they had long lost their breath and turned into corpses.
No matter who it was that saw this scene, they would immediately treat Chu Chen, a young disciple in the Spiritual Mist Stage, as a monster from then on.
It was almost impossible to kill an enemy of a higher stage. Chu Chen killed not only one but five of them at the same time.
This was also the first time that Chu Chen had deeply felt how powerful his spiritual consciousness was in actual combat!
However, the negative effect that followed was a severe headache. The pain was so intense it was as if his soul was about to tear. Under the crippling pain, Chu Chen, who felt like there was a murky sky over a dark earth, fell directly to the ground and his facial expression became extremely ugly.
Spiritual consciousness activated under the ultimate state should not be simply used. Chu Chen endured a severe headache and looked at the black-clothed witch, only to find that the black-clothed witch on the verge of death who was lying on the ground was long gone. Only a puddle of blood remained where she was, which was startling.
Chu Chen did not know how powerful the black-clothed woman was. Even when she was poisoned so badly, she could still provoke troubles and killed more than a dozen sect disciples like she was butchering chickens. There was no doubt that her power was unfathomable.
It was very likely that when she was fighting the Secret Sky Sect disciples, she had already used the spatial-type diversion technique to escape unknowingly.
'Hmm, it's good that she's okay. This is a thank you to her for saving my life.'
When he looked at the corpse next to him again, Chu Chen's expression finally changed. He endured it for a moment and felt that his stomach was twitching constantly. However, he could not hold it in and threw up everything he could.
Although being in battle gave him a strong sense of pleasure, the corpses around him still made him very uncomfortable.
"It's okay, I will get used to killing in the future." Chu Chen could not help but comfort himself.
Chu Chen found that killing was difficult, but it was even more difficult to deal with the bodies on the battlefield. It was not a rocky ravine where he could just throw the corpses off the cliff.
'What do I do with these corpses?'
The dozen or so people previously could all be counted on the head of the black-clothed witch. However, if these five people that were killed by him remained here, if people found any evidence that linked the bodies back to him, he would be done for.
If that were to happen, it would mean more than just being expelled from the sect, he may be killed for it as well.
After he thought about it for a while, Chu Chen decided to throw them into the Black Fog Valley for peace of mind. No one should be able to see them again in the future, except for his clone, eaglet.
Chu Chen felt uneasy when he was cleaning up the battlefield, but when he thought of his 'trophies', he felt a little relieved.
After a round of looting, Chu Chen wanted to die. These Secret Sky Sect internal disciples had almost nothing on them. Apart from their weapons, what was left was just some food. Even the elixir bottles on the few disciples were empty.
He was not sure whether it was because they chased the black-clothed witch too eagerly or because of other reasons.
They were basically a group of paupers. The worst thing was that their weapons were all inscribed with the Secret Sky Sect logo. Chu Chen dared not keep any of that even if he had the biggest balls in the world.
Also, these weapons were shocked by the black-clothed witch and were full of cracks, which made them completely useless.
Just as Chu Chen was feeling down in the dumps, he suddenly felt a blue Ganoderma is one of the disciple's pocket. Chu Chen, who had been collecting spiritual herbs all the year-round, recognized that this heavy item was a first-level middle-grade elixir- Withered Wood Ganoderma. It weighed more than a catty.
Withered Wood Ganoderma was the Holy Grail medicine for external wounds. After being powdered, it could stop the bleeding almost instantly by sprinkling it on the wound.
It seemed that the disciples of Secret Sky Sect were all living on the edge, and life had not been easy for them. On the bright side, he got an easy way out as it should be more than enough for this month's herb quota.
He did not have to rush the fledgling eaglet clone to bite the bullet and enter the Black Fog Valley. He had to raise his eaglet clone to be stronger, then, the treasures of Black Fog Valley would be his sooner or later.
Chu Chen returned to the small courtyard where he lived, and it was already dark. He counted the days and it turned out that today was the last day of the sect's herb quota. Once it was past midnight, if he did not have enough for herb quota for this month, he would be kicked out the next day.
At that moment, Chu Chen did not hesitate any further and grabbed the two catties of the first level spiritual herbs he had collected throughout this month, along with the first level Withered Wood Ganoderma, and walked toward the hall where the external elder lived.
The rules of Crystal Spring Sect stated that every external elder could have a place in the ancient temple at the halfway point of the mountain.
Therefore, one would usually see to the disciples going in and out of the ancient temple, looking for elders to handle some affairs, or getting learnings on cultivation methods.
The spiritual herb elder was not difficult to locate, and Chu Chen was also very familiar with the area, and soon arrived at the hall where he was.
The quaint hall was empty and had not a single decoration. There was only a simple futon in the center of the hall. The external spiritual herb elder sat cross-legged on this futon motionless like a statue.
From the outside, this external elder had a divine poise and looked presentable, dressed in a green robe made of bird feathers. Although his face looked old, there was a faint glow on his face, and he looked energetic. When he saw Chu Chen who was coming in, he frowned slightly.
