When he heard the three familiar voices, Su Zimo's eyes shone brightly.
"It's them?"
Tang Yu's expression changed and she was slightly stunned.
The three of them were the cultivators that followed Su Zimo into the city initially. Apart from Ji Chengtian who was at six meridian Foundation Establishment, the other two were only at four meridian Foundation Establishment.
Back then, Tang Yu felt that it was a wise decision for them to leave Xuantian City.
Given their cultivation, they would have been reduced to ashes by the thousand odd desperadoes if they stayed in Xuantian City.
However, Tang Yu had not expected that three of the four of them who left Xuantian City would return!
The haughty man behind Tang Yu sneered, "How foolish of them to return to Xuantian City despite knowing that they're going to die."
Although many cultivators present had the same thoughts, those words were extremely grating when they came out of their mouths.
"Yan Jun!"
Tang Yu frowned slightly and turned back to reprimand softly.
Although the cultivator named Yan Jun was also an Elixir Yang Sect disciple, he was a disciple of the Battle Hall and was at seven meridian Foundation Establishment. As such, Tang Yu could not reprimand him too harshly.
Yan Jun harrumphed and said nothing more.
Suddenly, a soft yet firm voice sounded from the side.
"This isn't stupidity, this is camaraderie!"
Xiaoning had a timid nature and would bury her grievances deep in her heart – it took a lot of courage for her to say something like that.
However, she was infuriated at that moment.
For some reason, her blood rushed to her head as she gripped her fists tightly and glared at Yan Jun. "Someone like you will never understand camaraderie!"
"Camaraderie my a * s! Are we going to die together?"
Yan Jun scoffed and looked at Su Xiaoning mockingly. Curling his lips, he remarked coldly, "If you understand camaraderie, why don't you go and die, hmm?"
Yan Jun was at seven meridian Foundation Establishment after all. For him to be able to cultivate to this level, his hands were stained with blood after entering the ancient battlefield.
Being stared at by Yan Jun's cold eyes, Xiaoning felt timid and instinctively took half a step back.
Right then, Night Spirit who was initially sprawled on the ground opened his eyes.
That pair of pitch-black eyes emitted a faint light that flickered between bright and dark.
In an instant, the surrounding temperature plummeted!
All the cultivators present, including Uncle Liang, felt a sinister chill that sent chills down their spines. It was as though they were targeted by some ancient and ferocious living being and could be torn into pieces at any moment!
Uncle Liang was greatly shocked.
Yan Jun, who was originally arrogant, felt his hair stand on end and goosebumps rise all over his body.
An unprecedented shadow of death loomed over him, causing his entire body to turn cold.
At this moment, Xiaoning sensed Night Spirit's actions. She quickly stretched out her hand and patted Night Spirit's head, hinting it not to act rashly.
After all, Elixir Yang Sect was the only sect in Xuantian City that could support Su Zimo.
If Night Spirit were to kill Yan Jun, it would be equivalent to pushing Elixir Yang Sect to the opposite side of Su Zimo.
Night Spirit closed his eyes again.
The chilliness in the surroundings instantly disappeared.
Just Now, everything seemed to be a figment of everyone's imagination that was fleeting.
Many cultivators were confused and exchanged glances with lingering fear. Only a few people noticed that Night Spirit had opened his eyes Just Now.
Uncle Liang looked at Night Spirit meaningfully before retracting his gaze.
Shuddering, Yan Jun scanned his surroundings and heaved a sigh of relief when he did not discover anything. His expression relaxed slightly.
…
On the long street.
"Senior Brother Ji? Sister Leng Rou? "
Little Fatty's eyes flashed with surprise when he saw Ji Chengtian flapping his Ethereal Wings in midair and Leng Rou charging into the battlefield from another direction.
Ji Chengtian and Leng Rou had the same expression.
This was a battle with a slim chance of survival and nobody could make decisions for others.
The three of them did not know what the other party was thinking and did not want to pressure the other party either. Therefore, they chose to part ways after leaving Xuantian City.
But now, the three of them were of the same mind and returned to Xuantian City to fight alongside Su Zimo!
It was a form of tacit understanding.
Little Fatty wielded a gigantic axe that shone with four spirit lights and charged into the crowd diagonally, chopping down a desperado in front of him.
Six spirit meridians lit up on Little Fatty's bloated body!
On the other side, Leng Rou threw out more than ten talismans and summoned her flying sword. She charged into the battlefield and six spirit meridians lit up on her body as well!
Two six meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivators!
Before the two of them left Xuantian City, they were only at four meridian Foundation Establishment.
There was only a single possibility for them to advance from four meridian Foundation Establishment to six meridian Foundation Establishment in such a short period of time.
During this period of time, just like Su Zimo, Little Fatty and Leng Rou broke through to five meridian Foundation Establishment and consumed the Meridian Unlocking Elixir to advance to six meridian Foundation Establishment in one go!
"Haha!"
A pair of spirit wings extended from Ji Chengtian's back and he soared into the air. With a roar of laughter, seven spirit meridians could be vaguely seen beneath his robes.
Seven meridian Foundation Establishment!
Ji Chengtian had broken through as well!
Given Ji Chengtian's potential, there might be a chance for him to break through to seven meridian Foundation Establishment through cultivation in the ancient battlefield. However, it was impossible for him to do so in such a short period of time.
In other words, Ji Chengtian had made the same decision as Little Fatty and Leng Rou.
Consume the Meridian Unlocking Elixir!
The three of them exchanged glances and smiled in unison.
The Meridian Unlocking Elixir was only effective the first time it was consumed and none of them had intended to consume it at their current cultivation realm.
But now, the three of them chose to consume the Meridian Unlocking Elixir without any discussion or communication for this battle!
They gave up on a higher cultivation and life and death just so that they could return for this battle!
Su Zimo understood everything.
The moment he saw the three of them return, he understood everything.
However, at that moment, Su Zimo was agitated and his lips quivered but he could not say anything.
"I'm back too!"
Right then, an honest-looking cultivator appeared on the battlefield. With a roar, he swung his metal rod and repelled two desperadoes!
"Silly Jian?"
When he heard that voice, Little Fatty's heart skipped a beat as he turned back in disbelief.
At that moment, the four of them who left Xuantian City had all returned!
When Su Zimo saw that, he felt a surge of warmth in his heart and the wounds on his body no longer hurt as much.
There was no need for words or thanks.
As long as he knew that the four of them did not leave and stood by his side to fight alongside him in his most dangerous moment, that was enough.
"Hahahaha!"
Finally, Su Zimo burst into laughter.
Ji Chengtian was laughing, Leng Rou was laughing, Little Fatty was laughing and Shi Jian was laughing foolishly as well.
Amidst the flashes of swords and sabers, the five of them were like five drowned rats in a wretched state. However, they laughed wantonly, happily and carefreely.
Some of them had tears in their eyes and in the blink of an eye, they mixed with the rain and slid down their faces.
"Silly Jian, you said that you're not silly. Why did you return?" Little Fatty asked.
"I … got lost," Shi Jian replied.
