Not long ago, he was badly injured by Prince Feng's fatal assault, and the injury had been tormenting him. Unexpectedly, in this moment, the brilliant Light of Life completely reversed the situation!
Even though his injury had nearly healed, due to the numerous enemies, Xiao Chen was stopped a few meters away from Gu Luo. Without a moment's hesitation, he swung his longsword at the divine, brilliantly gleaming scroll. The scorching sword aura instantly shattered the scroll, and the Light of Life vanished. Simultaneously, the longsword shot out from his hand, aimed straight at Gu Luo's heart!
At that time, Gu Luo made his move, a sweep of his hands formed a light curtain, shattering the longsword. He leaped from his servant's arms. Xiao Chen, however, made a hasty retreat beyond their formation, causing the three skeletons to back off as well, and both parties were once again on opposing sides!
In the first battle in the swamp, Xiao Chen and the three skeletons could be said to have achieved a complete victory! Not only was Gu Luo seriously injured, but they also lost eight skilled fighters. Most importantly, Xiao Chen, with the help of the Light of Life, had almost fully recovered.
Gu Luo's face turned ashen, his ominous gaze fixed on Xiao Chen, cold and frosty like a poisonous snake. His heart was filled with rage and embarrassment, for he was nearly killed just now.
It must be said that the Light of Life can be described as divine light. Gu Luo had four bloody holes in his chest and abdomen, which were fatal wounds. But under the nourishing light of sanctity, the horrifying wounds had miraculously healed. Even though he was slightly weak from the loss of blood, he was fundamentally unscathed.
"Are you okay now, Brother Gu Luo?" asked the Royal Celestial Maiden Zhao Lin'er.
"I'm fine."
Over twenty skilled fighters stood guard around Gu Luo, fearing that something unexpected might happen again.
"Kill!" Gu Luo ordered with a wave of his hand, saying no more. Any words now were redundant, only the strength made the difference between life and death.
Some people stayed with Gu Luo, while the rest of the fighters quickly forged ahead. Xiao Chen and the three skeletons fought off their assaults, and the violent killing instantly erupted.
Gu Luo commanded the people around him to attack, while he himself charged towards Xiao Chen, he was determined to wipe out his previous shame! Zhao Lin'er quickly followed him; after all, Xiao Chen was her target.
Xiao Chen and the three skeletons were surrounded in the center. King Qin Guang, King Yan Luo, King Reincarnation used their full strength to help Xiao Chen fend off Gu Luo. They bought time for Xiao Chen to kill off the expert fighters. The bloody combat was brutally cruel. Now all words had become irrelevant, only strength was the absolute truth!
Unhindered by the injury, Xiao Chen took action without any hesitation, the Mysterious Cultivation was pushed to the extreme, unleashing ruthless slaughter, extinguishing the life force of the enemies. Taking care of this was the most important task at the moment.
Although Zhao Lin'er's cultivation level was not far from his, Xiao Chen deliberately avoided her, moving constantly among those twenty or so fighters, launching brutally cruel and merciless attacks. His palm was as sharp as a Demon Blade, glowing with a bizarre light, decapitating a man from above, rawly splitting him into two halves. The man's red blood, white brain matter, and brightly colored liver spilled everywhere, the scene was bloody and brutal!
In this life-and-death moment, there was no room for mercy. It was either you die, or I perish!
"Thud."
Xiao Chen leaped into the air and stomped through someone's chest, kicking right through the man's body. He took the corpse and swept it horizontally, not only shattering the body but also forcing Zhao Lin'er, who had attacked again, to retreat.
This was a true life and death battle. Xiao Chen was covered in blood. Even after killing several enemies, he was not at ease because the other party was stronger than he was with his three skeletons.
Gu Luo's gaze was as cold as a snake, but he was temporarily held up by the three skeletons and could not immediately go after Xiao Chen. For these three Undying Creatures, he harbored extreme hatred in his heart. If it were not for their sneak attack, how could he have almost lost his life? He had wasted a precious Life Scroll for nothing.
"Deep Blue Ice, Seal of Darkness and Sin!" Gu Luo suddenly shouted, a scroll was quickly opened, and a light curtain of water-blue color spread out instantaneously. An intense energy fluctuation burst out, and a Blue Giant Bird fluttered toward the three skeletons. At the same time, endless blue light descended like a torrent, flooding the three skeletons.
The energy-transformed Blue Giant Bird was five meters in length, but it was shattered by the powerful force of the three skeletons. However, after the endless blue light fell, three ice sculptures appeared immediately on the field, King Qin Guang, King Yan Luo, King Reincarnation were frozen!
Gu Luo sneered and then charged towards Xiao Chen without looking back. A scroll was quickly laid out, and the yellow light illuminated the swamp. A monstrous yellowish-brown lizard, more than eight meters long, ferociously pounced onto Xiao Chen, causing a storm of energy at the same time.
Xiao Chen felt a strong sense of danger. He killed a fighter blocking his path, and his body constantly switched positions in the woods. However, the enormous lizard seemed to have a soul and pursued relentlessly with endless yellow light.
Four or five ancient sky-reaching trees were shattered by the energy-transformed lizard. Wood chips flew all over the sky, and broken branches and leaves were scattered everywhere. The yellow light was unstoppable!
By the time the tenth ancient tree was destroyed, the energy-transformed giant lizard was closing in on Xiao Chen, leaving him with no escape. Xiao Chen leapt into the air, his hands formed a mysterious Dharma Seal. A bright light emerged, appearing as numerous stars, pouring down onto the yellowish-brown lizard.
A loud rumbling sound echoed in the air, the energy-transformed giant lizard, like a porcelain, showed severe cracks, and then shattered and dissipated in mid-air!
However, the yellow light still enveloped Xiao Chen, and something astonishing happened. The yellow light began to petrify and sealed Xiao Chen into a stone statue!
The Royal Celestial Maiden Zhao Lin'er was of exceptional beauty, with a radiant and unrivalled charm. After experiencing a tremendous battle, she emitted a valiant aura, which added to her charming appeal.
"Brother Gu Luo, your prowess is truly extraordinary. Such a brilliant attack is truly admirable. Thank you, Brother Gu Luo, for helping sincerely!"
"Your Highness, you're too kind. I feel honored to serve you."
"Brother Gu Luo, if you put it like this, it's really hard for me to relax. To deal with Xiao Chen, you were in danger, not to mention you lost quite a few good men; I really feel very sad and uneasy."
After eliminating the strong enemy, Gu Luo appeared humble and sincere, and said with some sadness, "I am fine, it's just a pity for the dead ones. They were all like my brothers..."
Of course, these words gave a good impression. The fighters around felt warmth in their hearts. Gu Luo, the heir of a family, naturally understood such tactics very well.
"Crack."
A shattering sound, a huge crack appeared on Xiao Chen's petrified statue, then it suddenly started to fracture and "Bang," exploded into pieces!
