This battle lasted from dusk all the way until dawn of the next day.
If it was a normal battle, the Black Sky Cult would have lost their leader, and would have dispersed in a short time. It wouldn't have taken this long — — after all, it was only a battle of a thousand people, it was just that the individual strength was very high.
But the three elders of the Shangqing school set up a formation at the edge of the Shangqing school's outer door, blocking the Black Sky Cult's escape route.
The Black Sky Cult had no way to retreat, and their will to fight increased by quite a bit, bringing a certain amount of casualties to the Shangqing school and the martial artists of the Jianghu.
From this, it could be seen that the ancient Hua Xia's siege of the Jianghu was reasonable.
But the specific analysis of the situation, this battle turned into a battle of annihilation, was considered from a strategic point of view.
These Black Sky Cult members were not good people — — just look at the outer martial artists who slaughtered villages to capture young boys and girls. Even if they escaped this disaster, they would definitely not turn over a new leaf, and would most likely gather together again to revive the Black Sky Cult.
Don't forget, the Black Sky Cult's leader was still alive! He even brought a group of experts with him to attack the Penglai Pavilion.
Bai Xiaowen commanded the martial artists of the Jianghu, and Chen Rong commanded the Shangqing school disciples, spending most of the night to completely crush the Black Sky Cult members' will to resist, and the latter half of the night was spent searching the mountains to capture people.
After one night, the eight camps of the Black Sky Cult were all destroyed, more than half of the thousand cult members died, and more than three hundred people were captured alive.
There were also about two hundred scattered people who were greedy for life and afraid of death, without any courage to fight to the death. Seeing that the situation was not good, they escaped in advance, and before the three elders of the Shangqing school could set up a trap, they escaped the outer door of the Shangqing school.
Of course, these two hundred cult members could not be considered the elites of the Black Sky Cult, and were only the lowest level of the cult members, so even if they escaped, they would not be able to cause much trouble.
In the battle at night, Bai Xiaowen did not personally enter the field.
However, at this time, it was hard to even find a leader in the Black Sky Cult, a group of dragons without a leader; his summoned creature army, against the normal and elite members of the Black Sky Cult, their strength was more than enough.
Bai Xiaowen silently calculated the "direct gains" of this battle, which were the spoils of war obtained from killing the enemy.
Annihilating over five hundred people, capturing over three hundred people alive, in total killing over eight hundred people, the equipment of these eight hundred Black Sky Sect members (especially their weapons) was a considerable amount of wealth.
But the custom of the aboriginals was that the spoils of war belonged to whoever killed them. Many Jianghu martial artists, after killing the members of the Black Sky Sect, if they saw that their weapons were of superior quality, they would directly take them for themselves. Those weapons that they did not fancy were basically grey quality, and would be casually discarded.
After the disciples of the Shangqing school killed their enemies, they would usually look down on the weapons of the Black Sky Cult members, but they would still casually pick them up and wait for the battle to end before handing them over to the school.
Therefore, the spoils of war that Bai Xiaowen could directly obtain were actually not that many. In the battle at night, he controlled the summoned creatures, and only killed a few dozen enemies.
But the targets that Bai Xiaowen chose to kill were very accurate, all of them were elite level and above, and the weapons and armors that he picked up were all blue quality and above.
In the eyes of others, it was Hero Lu Wang who specifically chose the tough ones to fight, leaving the normal members of the Black Sky Cult to his allies to deal with. This kind of fighting style of taking the lead and not rejecting difficulties was really admirable.
The main point was the weapons of the Black Sky Cult leaders, the ten or so branch leader level experts, all of their weapons were not lower than gold quality. Bai Xiaowen "snatched" three items, the Emei Piercer, Clear Wind Sword and Splashing Wind Blade, all of which were common close combat weapons used by martial artists.
The last was the biggest BOSS killed in this battle, the Black Sky Cult's Left Protector, a Leader level expert — — Thousand Hands Butcher Qiu Zhenli.
After Bai Xiaowen "looted the corpse", he obtained two pieces of equipment.
【Deerskin Gloves: Gold Quality, Toughness A, Spiritual Energy Amplification by 3 levels. Note: When you attack with a weapon, the spiritual energy amplification is based on the weapon's amplification level, not stacking.】
This deerskin gloves was only gold equipment, the spiritual energy amplification by 3 levels could barely be seen, but it was a pain in the ass if it did not stack with the weapon's spiritual energy amplification. In other words, it could only be seen when empty-handed. For evolvers who were proficient in fist and palm attacks, this was not bad, but evolvers like that were extremely rare.
The only thing worth praising was the A Grade Toughness, this attribute was similar to "hardness", it was an attribute that countered the weapon's "sharpness", and was equivalent to a physical defense ability.
A Grade Toughness was equivalent to a normal gold grade weapon's sharpness level, after wearing it, one could use their bare hands to catch the opponent's weapon. As long as the opponent did not have a divine weapon like the Heavenly Sword or the Dragon Saber (Walked into the wrong place), there would not be a tragic situation of half a hand being cut off.
There was also a cloak at the back, after peeling it off, it faintly flashed with a dark gold luster.
This was a dark gold equipment!
[Black Feather Cloak: Dark Gold Quality, Toughness A +, Spiritual Defense Level 4. Additional Skill: Great Grasp of Spiritual Energy: Inject spiritual energy into the cloak, and it can transform into illusory hands of spiritual energy, attacking the enemy according to the wearer's will. The number of spiritual energy hands and the attack range are determined by the wearer's strength.]
It was indeed a dark gold equipment, its toughness (physical defense) and spiritual defense (magic defense) were quite high, and it had already completed the basic task of being a protective equipment, not to mention the additional skill.
Bai Xiaowen was now in urgent need of skills, he could not always rely on the sealing and duplication of the Eye of Evolution to conquer the world.
First, it was too passive, and it would be strong when facing strong opponents and weak opponents, similar to Five Flagtree in a certain hot-blooded manga. Second, the skills duplicated by the Eye of Evolution would consume Bai Xiaowen's True Inner Force (as a lubricant for temporarily unblocking the flow of spiritual energy), so it was definitely not as good as the skills he had mastered himself, which could unleash 100% of the power and be more precise in controlling it.
As for whether the Great Grasp of Spiritual Energy was useful, it was still not clear. He would only know after he tried it.
Chen Rong stood beside him and looked at the wisp of dawn in the east.
"It's finally over … Shangqing school is safe," Chen Rong said softly. "Ah-Wang, thank you for saving me and everyone!"
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "This is what I should do."
Should do?
Does Ah-Wang mean that this is the responsibility he should bear?
Who else in Shangqing school is worthy of him doing this?
Chen Rong's cheeks blushed, but she did not lower her head shyly like other girls. Instead, she stared straight at Bai Xiaowen, and there was a hint of joy in her eyes.
Bai Xiaowen noticed a slight change in Chen Rong's aura, which was a bit strange.
Wasn't what I just said the standard answer after receiving a thank you? Is there a problem?
