Slaughter descends upon Gu Lan Jiao.

"Swish!"

The sword light cuts down.

From Gu Lan Jiao's forehead, following the tip of the nose, chin, chest, and abdomen, it falls.

"Boom!"

The body of Gu Lan Jiao explodes into two halves.

The vision of Corpse Mountain and Blood Sea that filled the entire underground space dissipates.

"Aunt!"

Gu Tong roars in anger, holding half of the corpse, heartbroken!

Fatty slumps directly to the ground, panting heavily.

Luo Tian lies on the ground, covered in blood, unable to even crawl.

Ye Chen holds a sharp sword stabbed into the ground, half-squatting, also exhausted.

The hidden dangers of unleashing the Burning Sword Technique now begin to appear, that extremely intense sense of weakness hits Ye Chen's body and will like waves crashing one after another.

The three joined forces.

Risking their lives, they killed a powerhouse from the Primordial Embryo Realm.

Such a feat is incredibly glorious.

However, the price paid is also enormous.

Gu Tong's eyes are bloodshot, he sets down Gu Lan Jiao's half body, and stood up with his sword.

His gaze sweeps across the three of Ye Chen.

"Ye Chen, I will make you wish for life and death!"

"Then, I will let you watch with your own eyes as these two companions of yours die, I will mince their flesh before your death, forcing you to eat it piece by piece!"

"My grandfather shouldn't have been soft-hearted back then; since the old man left you as a pest, it's up to me to solve it!"

"I've heard, everyone from your Ye Family died without complete corpses, and you will end up the same way!"

Gu Tong's power is boiling like an oil pot, exceedingly violent.

Ye Chen turns his head to look at Fatty.

Fatty smiles bitterly, "Brother Ye, I've got too much meat, not tasty."

Ye Chen looks again at Luo Tian.

Luo Tian, barely breathing, says, "Stab him to death, then you won't have to eat our flesh."

He feels that Ye Chen is too exhausted to cut.

But there should be enough energy for a stab.

Just like when he carried Ye Chen on his back fleeing, Ye Chen stabbed the woman blocking the way.

Stabbing like that.

It's quite effortless.

At this moment.

Gu Tong is already standing in front of Ye Chen.

Ye Chen stands up again, staggering, as if he could fall with a gust of wind.

The two face each other.

Gu Tong's face is fierce and ruthless.

Ye Chen's expression is calm, but the killing intent makes his eyes resemble two seas of blood!

Gu Tong strikes with a sword towards Ye Chen's shoulder; he won't let Ye Chen die so easily, he wants to torture him to death!

Ye Chen neither dodges nor avoids, allowing the sword to slash on his shoulder.

At the same time.

In Ye Chen's sea of consciousness, four sets of spirit patterns vibrate.

Spirit Wave Impact!

The invisible spiritual power, like a sword, instantly pierces into Gu Tong's sea of consciousness.

Gu Tong's sea of consciousness shows cracks.

Although the Spirit Wave Impact couldn't penetrate Gu Tong's sea of consciousness, it plunges him into immense pain, as if his head is about to explode!

Ye Chen raises his sword.

Stabs towards Gu Tong's heart.

"Puff!"

The sharp sword pierces through flesh and blood.

Gu Tong's eyes widen, his face turning into a mask of agony.

Ye Chen twists his wrist holding the sword.

Releasing the last bit of sword energy.

A translucent bloody hole bursts open in Gu Tong's heart.

Gu Tong's body falls backward.

Ye Chen looks at Luo Tian, squeezing out a smile on his blood-stained face, "Was the stab okay?"

Luo Tian wants to laugh, but he can't.

Almost fainted...

Moreover, Ye Chen's left shoulder is only held by a piece of skin... so tragic!

At this point, Ye Chen is truly out of strength, letting his body fall straight to the ground, gasping for breath.

Fatty barely recovers the ability to move, crawls up, walks to Ye Chen's side, pulls out a pill, and stuffs it into Ye Chen's mouth.

"Was it necessary."

"You used your spiritual power just now, and it seems you did quite well in the Spirit Martial division for a month. Actually, when Gu Tong approached you, you could've used spiritual power to surprisingly kill him."

Fatty sees through Ye Chen's secret, honestly shocked, Ye Chen only joined the Spirit Martial division for a month and could already wield spiritual skills. The main thing is, his spiritual power could severely damage Gu Tong.

Even if Gu Tong was careless, this isn't something an average Spirit Master could do!

Shocked and puzzled, in Fatty's view, Ye Chen could've first attacked Gu Tong's sea of consciousness with spiritual skills, then killed Gu Tong.

Yet, Ye Chen deliberately let Gu Tong slash him once.

Fatty can't understand why Ye Chen did that.

Does the more severe the injury, the stronger the explosion?

Ye Chen swallows the pill with effort, then says, "My friend said to stab him, only that position can kill him, and after he slashes me with a sword, his guard would completely disappear."

Fatty is stunned.

Luo Tian, lying beside, couldn't smile earlier, but this time, he laughs, wanting to raise his brows, with thick eyebrows twitching slightly, somewhat comical.

Came close to losing life this time.

But it seems... quite happy, so this is what friends are for!

Fatty quietly walks to Luo Tian's side, a face full of resentment.

Darn, that idiot Luo Tian, that earlier sentence almost got Ye Chen killed.

If Gu Tong wanted to torture Ye Chen to death, what if he slashed at Ye Chen's head with that sword?

If Ye Chen died.

I would be done for too.

Fatty took out a pill and forcefully stuffed it into Luo Tian's mouth.

"Ah!"

Fatty let out a scream.

Luo Tian bit his finger...

A quarter of an hour later.

The three, covered in blood, stood beside the stone platform in the center of the underground chamber.

The surface of the stone platform appeared semi-transparent.

Inside the stone platform, there was a milky white liquid flowing, aside from a piece of milky white rock.

Ye Chen was the most pitiful.

His left arm was wrapped in cloth strips, otherwise, with just a slight shake, it would fall to the ground.

"It really is Earth Essence Milk, so much!" Fatty, familiar with these things being part of the Star Pill division, said, "Earth Essence Milk is sealed inside this stone platform, there's a protective layer outside it. Forcibly breaking the protective layer would cause some loss to the Earth Essence Milk.

No wonder Gu Tong was absorbing energy here; he wanted to refine away the protective layer and then get the Earth Essence Milk.

A drop of Earth Essence Milk is thirty thousand taels of silver, priceless and with no market, there should be about a hundred drops here, three million taels of silver, the actual value would definitely be higher, a big gain."

"Isn't Earth Essence Milk a hundred thousand taels of silver per drop?" Ye Chen looked at Fatty and asked.

Hua Qianxue said it was a hundred thousand before.

Fatty said, "Earth Essence Milk also varies in grade, the kind you mentioned for a hundred thousand taels per drop is the best, you probably heard Hua Qianxue talk about it, Hua Qianxue always uses that kind for a hundred thousand taels."

I see.

Fatty looked at Luo Tian and said, "Let's split this Earth Essence Milk equally."

Luo Tian glanced at Fatty.

"Brother Ye said it himself, he just wants to kill people, the stuff is ours."

Ye Chen didn't mind.

He indeed had said that.

Although Earth Essence Milk is rare, Fatty and Luo Tian risked their lives to adventure with him, even if there was more Earth Essence Milk, Ye Chen wouldn't go back on his word.

Some things, he understands clearly.

Since Gu Tong had already refining the protective layer almost completely, Fatty spent a little while to break through the protective layer, each holding a jade bottle, carefully gathering Earth Essence Milk.

Luo Tian's face wore hesitation.

Doing this seemed so ungracious, Ye Chen was in such a miserable state...

After the two packed the Earth Essence Milk, they placed it in their Storage Rings.

Fatty looked at Ye Chen and said, "Brother Ye, let me give you something, don't say I'm really so petty."

With that, Fatty tossed that block of milky white stone sealed in the stone platform to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen caught it casually.

This milky white stone was only the size of an ordinary bird egg.

It felt smooth and warm to the touch.

"What is this?"

Ye Chen asked.

"Earth Marrow," Luo Tian said, "If you sell this piece of Earth Marrow, it could probably fetch about five hundred pieces of lower-grade Primordial Stones."

No need to calculate in silver, it's directly referred to in terms of lower-grade Primordial Stones.

"Of course, it's just a value measure, no one would be willing to sell this thing."

Fatty looked at Luo Tian with surprise, "You know? I really thought you were a silly kid, you didn't say a word earlier!"

Luo Tian said, "I originally wanted to secretly give it to Brother Ye, afraid you'd refuse..."

"I was afraid you might not agree, that's why I kept quiet."

It seems both had thought the same.

Just now, while the two were packing Earth Essence Milk, they didn't even glance at the Earth Marrow...

Ye Chen's heart felt warm.

Soon, Ye Chen discovered the marvelous use of the Earth Marrow, by simply holding it, an extremely gentle energy flowed into his body, from his palm, throughout his limbs and bones.

The speed of healing increased rapidly, even more potent than Fatty's spirit mark healing ability by several times!

"Brother Fatty, Brother Luo, this thing..."

Before Ye Chen could finish speaking.

Fatty said, "You said you would kill people, the Earth Essence Milk would be divided between the two of us, we've already divided the Earth Essence Milk, so take this instead, but let me say upfront, aside from that old woman's sword and Gu Tong's sword which are yours, all other spoils are ours."

"I'll give you those two swords as well," Ye Chen said.

"After killing an enemy, are you not going to claim the spoils to taunt them? That would be meaningless, once we're back in Unparalleled County, I'll take you to the auction house, and you can put those two swords up for auction, piss off that old dog Gu Yue!" Fatty said.

Ye Chen: "..."

That makes sense!

Luo Tian: "Is Gu Yue really an old dog? Then why are his daughter and grandson human?"

......

More than a quarter-hour later.

Ye Chen, Fatty, and Luo Tian returned through the passage to the underground space.

The people from Celestial Sword Sect had repaired the array outside!

Forcibly breaking through the array to rush out, not to mention whether the three of them had the strength, even if they did, they wouldn't dare.

Such movement would cause too much commotion.

There are still many strong practitioners from Celestial Sword Sect battling with the beast hordes outside.

No way out!

Soon, if the beast horde subsides, a group of strong practitioners from Celestial Sword Sect might come in here... what will happen then?

Fatty didn't want to think about it.

Ye Chen frowned and said, "Dongfang Xiu from Celestial Sword Sect wanted to use us to kill Gu Tong. Isn't he afraid that after we've killed Gu Tong, we might be captured by the people from Celestial Sword Sect, exposing him?

And does Dongfang Xiu not know there are so many strong practitioners from Celestial Sword Sect here? Is he so certain we can kill Gu Tong?

I suspect that Dongfang Xiu just wants to make us the scapegoats for killing Gu Tong, he must have arranged something else, and it's very possible he will come personally.

If Dongfang Xiu wants to act himself, he definitely wouldn't use this passage, there might be another passage here!"

Ye Chen calmly analyzed a few sentences.

Fatty and Luo Tian felt it made sense, although Ye Chen's analysis had many issues, it was their only hope, regardless of the problems, let's search first!

Immediately, the three overturned the underground space, finally breaking through a stone wall dozens of meters and discovering a dark tunnel.

Sure enough!

The three quickly entered the tunnel.

Fatty stayed back, threw a bunch of Spirit Talismans, collapsing the entrance, destroying as he went!

Moments later.

Walking in the front, Ye Chen stopped and said, "Since Dongfang Xiu dug a passage here in advance but hasn't shown himself, maybe he's waiting for us at the exit."

"How about we heal first, after all, with the Earth Marrow and Earth Essence Milk, plus Brother Luo's Ten Thousand Spirits Pill, we should be able to recover quickly, then if Dongfang Xiu really wants to play the game of the mantis stalking the cicada while unaware of the oriole behind, the three of us will team up like we did with killing that old woman earlier and take him down!" Fatty proposed.

"Alright!" Luo Tian agreed with Fatty.

Ye Chen said nothing more and immediately began to heal and recover!
