The cultivator who had slapped Sikong Tan down was Shang Tianliang.
Half-step Martial Immortal was like a fish in water, even in the Central Province. Therefore, Shang Tianliang did not encounter any danger during this period of time. He did not encounter any powerful high-grade Demonic Ghosts like Chu Xiu did.
When he encountered Shang Tianliang, he had wanted to go to the Central Province's hinterland for a while. However, he happened to hear news about Chu Xiu.
He had originally gone to the valley to find Chu Xiu. However, Chu Xiu was no longer there. All he saw were traces of battle.
However, Shang Tianliang was not anxious. He believed in Chu Xiu's strength.
Besides, good people do not live long. Scourges live for a thousand years. He did not believe that someone like Chu Xiu would die here so easily.
As expected, by the time he arrived, everything was over. Only a few pitiful fellows who were beaten up by Chu Xiu were left.
Sikong Tan collapsed. Xu Jiang and Chen Jiulong also collapsed when they saw Shang Tianliang.
One Chu Xiu was already so difficult to deal with. Now, there was another half-step Martial Immortal. He was clearly on the same side as Chu Xiu. How were they supposed to fight him? There was no way!
Therefore, Xu Jiang and Chen Jiulong quickly looked at each other. In an instant, the two of them made a decision.
Xu Jiang formed hand seals and poured the last of his moonlight power into Chen Jiulong's body. Chen Jiulong's physical strength instantly soared to the limit.
Chen Jiulong leaped forward and unleashed his power to the limit. As he brought Xu Jiang along, he extended his hand and pulled Yuwen Fu along with him.
The two of them were quite loyal. They did not forget Yuwen Fu.
Although Yuwen Fu was not as close to them as they were, they were good friends who had known each other for many years. They could not bear to leave Yuwen Fu here alone.
Besides, Swordsman Ling Tian's faction had always been unreasonable.
If they really left Yuwen Fu here to fend for himself, Yuwen Fu's master might come looking for trouble with their sect.
"Lord Shang, stop them! At the very least, leave the heavily injured one behind! "Chu Xiu shouted in a low voice.
The moment he used the Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth, Chu Xiu's own strength was almost depleted. Therefore, he did not give chase because he could not catch up.
Fortunately, Shang Tianliang had arrived. With his half-step Martial Immortal cultivation, it would be very easy for him to stop them.
However, Chen Jiulong and Xu Jiang also knew that as long as they stayed, they would really die. Therefore, the two of them immediately began to flee.
Chen Jiulong burned his blood essence, pushing his physical strength to a new peak. The golden dragon had already turned into a blood dragon.
Xu Jiang did the same. He directly ignited his blood essence, turning the silvery-white moonlight into a blood-red color and infusing it into Chen Jiulong's body.
In the blink of an eye, the two's speed had increased by a large margin.
"Stay here for I!"
The Withering Glory Domain spread out, and the power of time began to reverse.
Xu Jiang and Chen Jiulong were horrified to discover that the power within their bodies seemed to be out of their control and began to burn violently.
"Throw Yuwen Fu away!"
Xu Jiang, who had always been gentle, suddenly shouted.
Chen Jiulong was taken aback. Without any hesitation, he threw Yuwen Fu to the ground. The two of them borrowed the explosive power of the Withering Glory Domain to instantly leap forward. In a single leap, they had escaped the range of Shang Tianliang's domain, disappearing without a trace.
Shang Tianliang was taken aback, unable to react.
He also did not expect the two of them to have such explosive power. He was unable to completely burn their power, and instead allowed them to borrow the power of the Withering Glory Domain to instantly bloom and escape.
At that moment, Shang Tianliang looked behind him. The fatty that he had slapped to the ground earlier had also disappeared. Looking closely, there was actually a hole in the ground.
Sikong Tan had actually used a secret technique to escape while Shang Tianliang was chasing Chen Jiulong and Xu Jiang.
There was a total of four people. One had already been crippled by Chu Xiu, and the other three had been half-crippled by Chu Xiu. In the end, only one was left crippled by Shang Tianliang. That made Shang Tianliang feel a little embarrassed and he wanted to give chase.
"City Lord Shang, there's no need to chase after them. Let them go."
Right now, Chu Xiu's power and primordial spirit were severely depleted, and he urgently needed to recover.
Moreover, the Central Province was full of danger. There was no point in chasing at this time, and it would only lead to accidents.
Shang Tianliang snorted coldly. "Give I time, and none of those three brats will be able to escape!"
Chu Xiu gave Shang Tianliang a way out. He nodded in agreement as he walked towards Yuwen Fu.
Seeing Chu Xiu walking towards him with killing intent, Yuwen Fu was terrified, but he did not beg for mercy.
He was the successor of Gu Zun, the successor of Swordsman Ling Tian's bloodline.
He could plot to kill Chu Xiu, and he could also lose, but he could not beg for mercy.
Therefore, even under the fear of death, Yuwen Fu still did not beg for mercy. Instead, he unyieldingly threatened, "Chu Xiu! Before you kill me, think carefully … "
"Pfft."
With a soft sound, the formation-breaking sword pierced into Yuwen Fu's heart. The sharp aura instantly shattered his heart meridians.
"Do I need to think about killing you?"
Shang Tianliang finally noticed Chu Xiu's current state. His primordial spirit and power were almost completely depleted. Although he was not seriously injured, he had already overdrawn his power.
"These four fellows actually forced you into such a state?"
Shang Tianliang was curious. Logically speaking, this should not be the case.
With Chu Xiu's current strength, as long as he did not encounter a Half-Step Martial Immortal, he was practically invincible among his peers.
Chu Xiu did not say a word. He only took out the Ghost General's soul crystal.
Shang Tianliang was immediately shocked. "Just what did you kill?"
Previously, Shang Tianliang did not have much of an idea of the Demonic Ghosts' strength.
However, when he killed a few Demonic Ghosts and obtained the soul crystals that weighed a few taels, with the heaviest weighing only half a catty, he finally realized how powerful the Demonic Ghosts were.
The soul crystal that Chu Xiu took out now seemed to weigh at least five catties. Just what kind of monster was that?
"It's just a high-level Demonic Ghost with a cultivation equivalent to a Martial Immortal."
Shang Tianliang immediately stopped talking. He coughed and changed the topic. "You've exhausted too much of your power. Let's not talk so much for now. Let's recover our power first."
After Chu Xiu spent almost a day recovering his power and primordial spirit, he told Shang Tianliang everything that had happened since he entered the Central Plains.
After hearing it, Shang Tianliang looked at Chu Xiu with a hint of pity.
Chu Xiu was definitely the unlucky kind.
As soon as he entered, he encountered a high-level Demonic Ghost. Then, he was surrounded by Yuwen Fu and the others. Not only did he fight two battles, but because he refined the soul crystal, he was targeted by the Ghost General with a cultivation equivalent to a Martial Immortal.
Shang Tianliang even dared to say that among all the martial artists who entered the Central Plains, Chu Xiu was the most unlucky one.
"By the way, City Lord Shang, what did you do after entering the Central Plains?"
Shang Tianliang thought for a moment and said, "Kill the Demonic Ghost and steal the token."
"That's it?"
Shang Tianliang glanced at Chu Xiu and said, "That's normal. Apart from that, what else do you want?"
Chu Xiu choked. Indeed, ninety percent of martial artists should have such a routine.
"City Lord Shang, did you meet anyone else?"
Shang Tianliang said, "I didn't meet anyone else, but I met Chenqing Di.
That guy basically had no opponents. As long as he met someone, he could get a token. As long as he met a Demonic Ghost, it was basically a kill.
So, I only exchanged a few words with him. We didn't travel together. "
Shang Tianliang paused and added, "By the way, you don't have to worry about the others. They all have their own tricks up their sleeves, so they should be fine. After all, not everyone is as unlucky as you."
Chu Xiu was speechless.
Shang Tianliang suddenly thought of something. He said to Chu Xiu with a serious expression, "Boy Chu Xiu, be careful of the people from the Sanskrit Sect."
"What's wrong with the Sanskrit Sect?"
Shang Tianliang said, "Previously, Tao Qiushui mentioned that some people will deliberately suppress their cultivation and only break through to Martial Immortal after entering the Central Plains. That's the case with Singalo from the Sanskrit Sect.
"Furthermore, the Sanskrit Sect used some unknown method to recruit eighty percent of their disciples in just a few days. So, most of the martial artists from the Sanskrit Sect in the Central Plains move in groups of three to five. If they meet the people from the Sanskrit Sect, most martial artists can only admit that they are unlucky and hand over their token.
"Everyone knows about the grudge between you and the Sanskrit Sect. Singalo even tried to find your location.
"However, you are still considered lucky. Singalo's location is completely different from yours. Even if he knows you are here, it will take him some time to find you."
Chu Xiu's eyes flashed coldly. "If he really finds his way here, it's hard to say who will be the one to kill who!"
Shang Tianliang shook his head and said, "With your current strength, you might not be at a disadvantage even if you face a First Heaven Martial Immortal like Singalo. However, the problem is, do you think he is the only troublesome person from the Sanskrit Sect? Several dozen people from the Sanskrit Sect have come. Singalo has already recruited eighty percent of them. If they attack together, you won't be able to handle them. "
Chu Xiu nodded. Although he was reluctant to admit it, he made a mental note of it.
"Where do you plan to go next? Are you going to the center of the Central Province to find the others? "Shang Tianliang asked.
Chu Xiu said, "Don't be anxious. Earlier, after I killed the core of that Ghost General, or rather, after I freed the cultivator from the Battle God Sect, he gave me a piece of information. It was the place where he died. There was a relic that he had obtained after fighting with others. From his tone, it should be an extremely precious item. I plan to retrieve it first before entering the center of the Central Province. "
Shang Tianliang frowned slightly and said, "That guy has already become the core of the Ghost General. Can his words be trusted? Don't think that it's a trap. "
Chu Xiu shook his head and said in a lecturing tone, "City Master Shang, aren't your thoughts a little too dark? Why do you always think of people as bad? That's not good. A man's words are always kind when he's about to die. I believe he won't lie before his death. "
Shang Tianliang looked at Chu Xiu speechlessly.
Do you think you're qualified to say that I'm dark?
