Tie Ta did not pay much attention to that. "It's probably someone fighting with a magical beast."
Jianchen agreed with that. However, with the memories of his past life, he had experienced things that Tie Ta could not compare to. In this environment, even the slightest movement would alert Jianchen, especially after being robbed by his schoolmates during the day. Jianchen became more and more vigilant of his surroundings. Jianchen had seen far too many people fail miserably at a simple task. He did not want to become one of them.
Jianchen tried his best to listen to the movements in the distance with the subtle sounds that his ears caught. However, his brows gradually furrowed. He could already tell that it was not someone fighting with a magical beast, but two groups of people fighting each other. Moreover, the sounds of fighting were rapidly approaching them.
Jianchen looked at Tie Ta and said, "Tie Ta, it's not someone fighting with a magical beast. It's two groups of people fighting. Moreover, from the sounds of it, they're rapidly approaching us. Prepare yourself. There might be a battle later." Jianchen did not choose to change his position. With their strength, they could protect themselves here. Moreover, he was not someone who was afraid of trouble.
Tie Ta immediately became interested. He picked up the axe beside him and said, "Someone's probably been robbed again. Changyang Shōten, do you think we should go and take a look?"
Jianchen sat down cross-legged in front of the fire with his iron rod in hand. He said, "No need. If nothing unexpected happens, they'll be able to reach us very quickly."
"Oh!" Tie Ta sat down obediently. His face was extremely calm.
Very soon, the sounds of fighting in the distance became louder and louder. Even Tie Ta could hear it clearly. Before long, several figures fled from the distance, running towards the fire that Jianchen and Tie Ta had lit.
Behind them, black silhouettes kept flashing in the night sky. It was obvious that they were chasing after them.
"My two friends, the people behind us are here to rob us of our magic cores. Not only are they extremely powerful, they also have more people than us. I hope that we can work together to fight them. Otherwise, the magic cores that we've painstakingly collected over the past two days will all end up in their pockets." Someone shouted from afar. Although Jianchen's group was only two people, if they joined, the strength of both sides would at least be equal.
Hearing this voice, Jianchen frowned slightly. This voice gave him a familiar feeling, as if he had heard it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where. Obviously, he didn't have a deep impression of it.
Seeing that the four fleeing people were getting closer and closer to Jianchen, a figure suddenly shot out from behind at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of the four people, blocking their path. Then, he raised the huge sword in his hand and slashed at the person closest to him.
The person fleeing at the front didn't back down either. He raised the Saint Weapon in his hand and fiercely slashed at the huge sword.
"Dang!"
The difference in strength between the two was clearly too great. With a low rumble, the person fleeing at the front was directly sent flying by the huge sword.
In this short moment of delay, the pursuers had caught up with them. They surrounded the escaping people and attacked them fiercely. There were a total of eight people chasing after them, and none of them were weak. The huge difference in numbers caused the escaping people to be suppressed by the other party. They bitterly held on, and it wouldn't be long before they were defeated.
"Luo Jian, just you wait. I definitely won't let you go." An angry roar sounded from one of the fleeing people. The voice was clearly deep.
Hearing this voice, Jianchen's face abruptly changed. Unlike before, this deep voice was extremely familiar to him. It was the voice of his big brother, Changyang Hu.
"Big brother!" Jianchen called out. His voice was filled with surprise, and his eyes immediately sharpened. Without any hesitation, he charged towards the fleeing people with his metal rod.
Seeing Jianchen's actions, Tie Ta followed closely behind Jianchen with his huge axe. After three days of interaction, Tie Ta seemed to have become completely obedient to Jianchen. Even Tie Ta probably didn't realize this himself.
Actually, Tie Ta had been completely convinced by Jianchen's extraordinary battle prowess over the past three days, as well as his rich experience in surviving in the forest and his ability to think through problems.
Jianchen's feet did not touch the ground as he quickly ran through the grass. He was extremely fast, approaching the two parties in the blink of an eye. The metal rod in his hand turned into an undetectable black streak in the night sky as he stabbed towards one of the people. From the person's figure and the direction of the voice, he had already recognized the person who was attacking. It was his big brother, Changyang Hu.
Although everyone had noticed Jian Chen and Tie Ta long ago and had been on guard at all times, Jian Chen's speed was just too fast. There was no warning at all. Furthermore, everyone's vision was greatly affected by the sound of the night, so no one noticed the metal rod in Jian Chen's hand that was only as thick as a finger.
The tip of the metal rod stabbed deeply into the shoulder of the person attacking Changyang Hu, directly piercing through. Immediately, a miserable cry rang out in the dark night. Afterwards, before the injured person could react, Jianchen kicked him in the chest, sending him flying far away.
"Argh!" At this moment, Tie Ta charged over as well. With a bellow, he raised his axe with both hands and swung it at one of the people.
The person attacked by Tie Ta reacted quickly as well. He showed no fear at all when he saw the incoming axe. He directly raised his huge sword to receive it.
。
Clang!
With a great sound, Tie Ta's axe and the person's huge sword collided heavily. The two weapons separated as soon as they came in contact. Tie Ta stood where he was without moving at all, while the young man who had clashed with him was sent flying by the great force of the axe.
Unless the difference in strength was too great, no one would be Tie Ta's opponent in a direct clash with the innate strength of Tie Ta. The young man who had clashed with Tie Ta suffered quite a bit from that single clash.
However, another chip had appeared on Tie Ta's axe after the clash. Fortunately, the opponent was not very powerful. The energy contained within the Saint Weapon was still within the limits of the axe, or Tie Ta's axe probably would have been destroyed long ago.
"Argh!" Tie Ta roared out furiously as he charged at the others with his axe again. Seeing this, two of the robbers immediately went to deal with Tie Ta.
Clang! With the sound of metal clashing, a person who didn't know Tie Ta's background clashed with Tie Ta's weapon again. Immediately, without exception, he was sent flying by the powerful force of Tie Ta's axe, causing another chip to appear on Tie Ta's axe.
Although Tie Ta's axe was very hard, it was far from comparable to a Saint Weapon. This was because every Saint Weapon contained powerful energy. By relying on a Saint Weapon, one could unleash an attack that far exceeded one's own strength. However, these people were obviously too weak. Almost all of them were at the early stage of the Saint Realm. Even if the Saint Weapon could increase their attack power, it was still very limited. With such a small gap in strength, Tie Ta could use his natural advantage to balance them out. Even so, the axe in Tie Ta's hand could not withstand too many collisions.
"Be careful. He's extremely strong. Don't clash with his axe," the person who had been sent flying hurriedly warned.
With his companion's warning, the remaining young man immediately became cautious. He no longer clashed with Tie Ta's axe. Instead, he used the gaps in Tie Ta's attacks to attack …
Jianchen did not stop after injuring a person with lightning-like speed. With a slight twist of his staff, he shot towards the other person who was fighting Changyang Hu like a ghost. Under the cover of the night, the iron rod that had been dyed red to the point that it was almost black was like a venomous snake hiding in the dark. It was extremely fast and silent as it wandered in the dark night sky, making it difficult for people to notice.
Jianchen's staff stabbed out extremely quickly. Before the person fighting Changyang Hu could react, the tip of the staff had already pierced through his thigh.
The person's expression suddenly changed. He let out a painful groan. His face was filled with pain, and he could not help but slow down his attacks. At this moment, Changyang Hu did not hold back at all. He swung his huge sword down and viciously chopped down on the young man's left arm.
Immediately, the person let out a miserable cry. The bones in his right arm had been severed by Changyang Hu's sword. It drooped down powerlessly. Only the skin below the bones was still connected. Blood gushed out from his arm like a fountain.
At this moment, a green light flashed in the night sky. A huge sword covered in a layer of green light slashed towards Jianchen at an extremely fast speed.
"Wind Saint Force!" Seeing the huge sword covered in green light, Jianchen's expression became slightly more serious. Following that, he began to move in a profound manner. His body suddenly disappeared from where he was like a ghost. At the same time, the huge sword covered in green light slashed towards where Jianchen had been standing at an extremely fast speed.
Jianchen stopped three meters away. Not far from where he had been standing, a person holding a huge sword stood there proudly. The person wore a tattered school uniform and was covered in blood. His face had already become dark and swarthy. It was impossible to recognize his appearance.
Jianchen stared sharply at the person before him. He coldly snorted and said in a deep voice, "Luo Jian, I didn't think I'd meet you here."
Hearing this, the young man was slightly surprised. The voice actually gave him a familiar feeling. He then carefully studied Jianchen. Although it was currently night, he was still able to clearly see Jianchen's appearance at such a close distance with the help of the bright moonlight in the sky.
However, after three days of fighting in the forest and without a clear source of water, everyone's face was completely dark. It was impossible to recognize each other's appearance.
However, when Changyang Hu, who was not far from Jianchen, heard Jianchen's voice, he was stunned at first. Then he looked at Jianchen in disbelief and cried out, "You … you're fourth brother." Changyang Hu's voice was filled with surprise and disbelief. He could not be more familiar with Jianchen's tone.
A sliver of understanding appeared on Luo Jian's face when he heard that. He sneered, "No wonder I found your voice rather familiar. So you're Changyang Xiangtian. I never thought that you'd become a Saint as well. You've really surprised me." A vicious light flashed through Luo Jian's eyes when he reached the end of his sentence.
