Report

More than a dozen experienced and highly skilled human cultivators charged into the barbarian tribe. They looked like a pack of tigers charging into a pen of sheep. Other than a few strong barbarian warriors who were at the forefront, who could barely resist for a while, the rest of the people, regardless of their age or gender, were no match for them.

Even though the barbarians were fierce by nature, and many of them still picked up weapons, sticks, and stones to fight to the death, but in front of the incomparably sharp divine weapons, all of these were like pieces of paper, completely defenseless. In an instant, the barbarians were thrown off their feet, and blood splattered in all directions.

This group of black-robed men were obviously used to seeing blood and death. Once they made a decision to attack, they did not show any mercy in the face of such a tragic situation. They could be said to have a heart of stone.

For a moment, the tribe was filled with cries and screams of pain. There was a continuous stream of people lying in pools of blood, twitching as they died. Fresh blood and broken limbs could be seen everywhere.

Lu Chen was already in the village of this tribe. When he saw this scene, his footsteps paused for a moment. He did not have a good impression of the barbarians. To be exact, he and the majority of the human race hated this race.

Before the Thousand Year War, the barbarians had invaded the Central Plains. The people were plunged into misery and suffering, and countless civilians died tragically. Moreover, the barbarians were savage by nature, and some tribes were so terrible that they even committed cannibalistic acts.

Therefore, this was also the reason why until today, when the human cultivators discovered the remnants of the barbarians in the Land of Chaos, they would always kill them. Today's situation was obviously a conventional way for the black-robed men to kill the barbarians.

The blood feud that had lasted for thousands of years could no longer be resolved.

However, this barbarian tribe did not only consist of warriors, there were also the elderly, the weak, women, and children. This massacre obviously did not differentiate between them.

Looking at the scene of the barbarians falling one after another, Lu Chen suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Was his heart softening?

Lu Chen shook his head slightly to get rid of these messy thoughts. Just as he was about to continue moving forward, a small figure suddenly staggered from the side. It was a barbarian boy.

Half of his face was stained with blood, but he didn't know if it was his own or someone else's blood that had splattered onto his face. Looking from the direction he was running from, there was a swift and fierce black-clothed man wielding a weapon as he slaughtered.

The boy seemed to have suffered quite a bit of shock and was running crazily to the other side.

However, from the corner of his eye, Lu Chen saw that in the other direction he was running to, there was a black-clothed man killing his way over. Running over there seemed to be suicidal.

When the barbarian kid ran past Lu Chen, Lu Chen hesitated for a moment, but he still extended his hand and grabbed the boy.

The barbarian kid screamed and turned his head to look at Lu Chen. The sharp fangs in his mouth were bared in anger, and he struggled with all his might.

Lu Chen frowned, but he was too lazy to argue with him. He pushed the boy to the ground, and at the same time, he pointed at the path that he had just come in from without batting an eyelid. There were no black-clothed men in that direction, so it was a way to escape.

Immediately after, Lu Chen continued to walk forward. After all, his goal was not to save people, but to take advantage of the chaos to steal the mysterious black piece of wood that could actually resonate with the black fire in his body.

However, he had only walked a few steps when he suddenly heard a gust of wind behind him. Lu Chen frowned and turned around to look. He saw that the boy had a terrified expression on his face, and was running towards him. He suddenly jumped up and threw himself into Lu Chen's arms.

Was it because he was too frightened? So when he saw someone showing kindness, he felt that it was a shelter that he could rely on? Lu Chen looked at the boy and reached out to catch him. However, after a moment, his expression suddenly changed. His right hand suddenly reached down and grabbed the hand of the barbarian kid.

The sharp edge of a small knife had already pierced through the clothes on his lower abdomen, and was just about to reach his skin.

The barbarian kid screamed crazily, and desperately tried to stab the sharp knife into Lu Chen's stomach. However, Lu Chen's hand was like iron to him, and it did not move at all.

Lu Chen grabbed the barbarian kid, and his eyes had already turned cold. After a moment, he suddenly said, "When others kill people and bleed, you are so scared that you don't dare to fight back and run around. I saw that you are pitiful, so I saved you and helped you, but you want to kill me?"

"Ah …" The barbarian kid let out a beast-like roar. It was unknown whether he understood Lu Chen's words, but his face was full of viciousness. He gritted his teeth, and desperately tried to push the knife in his hand to stab Lu Chen to death.

After trying for a while, but to no avail, he suddenly opened his mouth and bit down on Lu Chen's right wrist. At the same time, the strength in his hand increased greatly. It was obvious that he wanted to use this opportunity to get away from Lu Chen, and then stab into Lu Chen's lower abdomen.

Lu Chen swung his hand, and the barbarian kid flew up involuntarily. Then, before he could recover, he felt that his neck had been grabbed by someone.

At this time, the barbarian kid suddenly felt his vision darken. He saw that in addition to Lu Chen, there was also a black figure that suddenly appeared behind Lu Chen.

It was another black-clothed man, and no one knew when he had stood behind Lu Chen. He glanced at the barbarian kid and said in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"

Lu Chen's body stiffened. Just when he was about to move, the barbarian kid in front of him suddenly struggled. A trace of viciousness flashed in his eyes, and he pointed at the escape route that Lu Chen had pointed out to him. He opened his mouth and was about to speak loudly.

Lu Chen's pupils suddenly shrank, and a cold intent flashed in his eyes. In that split second, he suddenly shook his hand. The barbarian kid's face suddenly stiffened, and all the words that he wanted to say were suddenly stuck in his throat, and he could no longer speak.

A crisp sound of bones breaking rang out from his neck. There was a look of disbelief in his eyes, and he looked at Lu Chen, whose eyes had suddenly become cold. He didn't think that this soft-hearted person would suddenly become so cold and merciless.

Then, his head slowly drooped down, and there was no more sound.

Lu Chen slowly stood up, and turned around to look at the black-clothed man behind him.

The black-clothed man nodded and said, "Well done." After that, he left the place and flew into the distance.

Lu Chen looked at the black-clothed man as he left, and then looked at the barbarian kid who had already fallen on the ground. His eyes were indifferent. After a while, he turned around and also left the place.



The battle in the barbarian village was getting more and more intense, but in reality, they weren't evenly matched. To be exact, from the beginning, the barbarian tribe had basically fallen into a terrible situation. The strength of the black-clothed men who had suddenly appeared was too strong, and their methods were too cruel. They didn't give the barbarian tribe any chance.

The situation in the village was tragic and bloody. Not long after, dozens of barbarians had already fallen, and the black-clothed men who had invaded were not even injured, let alone dead.

The difference in strength between the two sides was too big, and the scene was chaotic. Under the cover of this chaos, Lu Chen approached the pile of stones without anyone noticing.

The strange black piece of wood was inserted on top of the pile of stones, and it was about five or six feet high. Lu Chen's eyes swept over it, and suddenly froze. He stopped at a certain place below the pile of stones for a moment.

Somewhere in the pile of stones, there were a few white things. Lu Chen's eyes instantly became cold, and his eyes were full of killing intent.

The white things were the color of bones, and there were a few round things in the pile of stones. They looked like human skulls, and the black holes of the skulls looked gloomy and terrifying. But what was more frightening was that Lu Chen could clearly see some broken bite marks on one or two of the bones, as if they had been gnawed on by wild beasts.

His body suddenly trembled, and even his breathing became hurried. After a while, he forced himself to look away, and clenched his teeth. He controlled his mind, and took a deep breath, and then walked towards the black piece of wood.

But right in front of his eyes, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and snatched the black piece of wood away in an instant.

Lu Chen was shocked. He looked up and saw that it was the old barbarian priest. His old face was filled with madness, and he grabbed the black piece of wood and leaned it against his body. Suddenly, the totem symbols on the black piece of wood that had dimmed after the ceremony was interrupted suddenly lit up, and a strange aura emitted from the black piece of wood.

The old barbarian priest's eyes were bloodshot, and he shouted a few incomprehensible words from his mouth. It seemed like he was chanting something like an incantation. Strands of red aura floated up from the black piece of wood, and immediately rushed towards the barbarians who were still alive in the surroundings.

The scene was as if there were hundreds of red lines suddenly connecting all the barbarians to the black piece of wood in a way that would make one's scalp tingle. Every "red line" was tied to the head of a barbarian, and then, following the old priest's hoarse howl, a strange change occurred.

All the barbarians, regardless of whether they were old or young, had their bodies inflated like a balloon. Their faces were ferocious, and their eyes were bulging out. Their ugly faces now looked like those of evil spirits.

But at the same time, the strength of these barbarians seemed to have doubled, especially the strongest of the barbarians. Their bodies had doubled in size, and in a short period of time, they seemed to be suppressing the black-robed men who were charging towards them.

Such a strange secret technique was unbelievable. But soon, everyone realized that this secret technique wasn't a very comfortable thing to do. Because suddenly, someone let out a blood-curdling scream in front of everyone's eyes. A barbarian woman's swollen body exploded, and instantly turned into powder. Blood flowed like a river.

But even more barbarians seemed to have gone mad, and rushed towards the black-robed men. An even more horrifying battle had begun!
