Chapter 506: Chapter 217: Red Toad Mountain,
Destroyed !_1
When the moon had risen to its peak.
Two flying boats, over a hundred glints, dragon horses charging on, all advancing with a grandeur that stirred up a whirlwind.
Stepping on the moonlight, they hurriedly arrived.
“Friend Nangong!”
“Friend Li!”
Hearing these two greetings, the two armies gradually came to a stop.
Nangong Jin hunched over in fatigue and looked at the battlefield of Gaoling Plains, his face a pale shade of defeat.
The scent of blood was so strong that it could make one nauseous.
He bitterly laughed. “It seems you all aren’t faring much better than us.”
Those words were somewhat grating.
However, when Luo Chen saw only a dozen of late stage Qi Refinement Cultivators remaining on Nangong Family’s flying boat, he could only sigh.
The other side, was in an even worse state than his Luo Tian Creed!
The formidable Nangong Family had sailed into The Great River District, while not invincible, they were still a formidable force.
Now, after all the upheaval, only a few of them remained.
“So, what’s your next move?” Luo Chen asked.
Li Yixian quickly replied, “Since we have offended the Huo Family, we must join forces to fight our common enemy!”
Such a clever woman!
Luo Chen gave her a sidelong glance, it was clear that she hadn’t told Nangong Jin everything Luo Chen and Yu Rou had discussed earlier.
If she did, upon learning that Luo Chen had single-handedly induced the ire of Huo Quan, Nangong Jin would certainly not have chosen to join them.
However, now that they had all collectively offended the Huo Family and drawn their attention, Nangong Jin’s choice was only one.
The theory rang true.
Nangong Jin reluctantly said, “Let’s move together! If Huo Quan pursues us, the three of us might be able to hold him off for a while.”
“Not just three, there’s also Master Wang Yuan!” Li Yixian added.
It was clear that even though Wang Yuan had yet to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, his ability to overcome adversaries of higher ranks twice had already won her acknowledgment of his strength.
Nangong Jin nodded slightly, for a rare moment he felt a sliver of confidence.
The military might of four Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators was quite high against those at the Middle Stage Foundation Establishment.
If Huo Quan truly reaches the Late Stage Foundation Establishment Layer after he comes out of isolation.
Even if they were not his opponents, scattering and fleeing would put the Huo Family in a tough position.
In this way, along with holding Huo Hu as a bargaining chip, they would also have the foundation to negotiate with the Huo Family!
At this moment.
The Luo Tian Creed had already cleaned up the battlefield. Under the raging flames, all the corpses were reduced to ashes.
“Let’s go, we must depart Gaoling Plains immediately!”
Luo Chen spoke, naturally assuming the commanding role without hesitation.
Nangong Jin and Li Yixian did not object.
In this battle, Luo Tian Creed had to face the greatest pressure.
Three cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage, more than a thousand members of the Great Lake Gang, as well as a large number who remain in defensive positions, awaiting the enemy.
Under such adverse conditions, Luo Chen led his people to break free of the encirclement.
He had the qualifications to serve as the commander of the three factions.
However...
“I have a request.”
Li Yixian looked at the two men, her gaze nearly pleading.
“Could you possibly spare some space on your flying boats...”
Nangong Jin furrowed his brows.
Luo Chen looked towards those behind her, the Li Family’s common martial art warriors who had just arrived hastily.
Each of them was seated on towering dragon horses, looking extremely fatigued.
The Li Family had thrived within The Great River District for many years and had not participated in many wars.
Because of this, they had a large number of non-Spirit Root commoners amongst them.
When they had left The Great River District, Li Yixian had gritted her teeth and took the majority of them with her.
Actually, the Nangong Family did the same.
They had a simple thought, to not stray too far from The Great River District and find a patch of spirit land to settle down in.
Taking along the commoners would be useful in many ways.
However, they had never expected that things would eventually come to this point.
Now...
Most of the commoners of the Nangong Family had perished in the battle against Liuguang District Bai Family.
Although it was painful, it did lighten their burden in the upcoming escape.
On the other hand, the Li Family...
Having not experienced a major battle, their population remained fully intact.
Controlling the spirit beast beneath her, she flew in the direction of the Taishan District.
In her mind, she was still pondering over how to deal with Huo Quan after leaving the closed-door cultivation.
According to Luo Chen’s threat, the details of the battle at the Gaoling Plains could definitely not be revealed.
“Wang Yuan’s battle power, the betrayal of the array master....”
“If so, then let’s shift all the blame onto Luo Chen!”
“Since you’re making a big deal, then be prepared to face the wrath of a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator!”
“No, that despicable Li Yixian is also responsible. If she hadn’t fought me with all her strength, trading blows for hundreds of rounds, I would have already rescued Huo Hu.”
“Yes, that’s it!”
With thoughts racing in her mind, she had already thought of all the things she would say.
All the blame should be placed on Luo Chen and Li Yixian.
At the same time, try to exonerate herself as much as possible.
“Should I injure myself a bit?”
Sometimes, pretending to be wounded can be extremely convincing.
She hesitated for a moment, and the Jade Feathered White Hawk also stopped.
“Huh?”
“Why did the White Hawk stop too?”
Just as she was puzzled, a massive breath slowly emerged.
She widened her eyes, looking toward the Lancang River that was ceaselessly surging.
A gigantic toad slowly unraveled its body from the river.
Its azure-blue body, towering more than ten feet tall.
The pouch on its back filled with unimaginable potent poison.
The sharp and chilling claws were terrifying, but it only had three feet.
Wherever it passed, the magic tool ships docked at the pier were shattered like tofu.
Yu Rou trembled all over, murmuring:
“Three-footed River-Swallowing Toad!”
“This is the same River-Swallowing Toad from back then, it advanced to the third order middle stage.”
“Wait, what is it trying to do!”
In Yu Rou’s view, the direction where the Three-footed River-Swallowing Toad was moving towards, was unmistakenly the nearby Taishan District.
Suddenly, it stopped in its tracks.
It raised its head, looking towards Red Toad Mountain from afar, its eyes blood-red.
As if something there was emitting a deadly scent, attracting it.
“Croak!”
After letting out a muffled croak, it took a deep breath, inflating its belly several times.
Then, supporting itself with three feet, it took a powerful leap.
The gigantic body, like a spring, shot up into the sky.
The water it brought up was like a torrential rain, pouring down.
After reaching a certain point, it fell at an angle.
The place it was falling towards was clearly the tranquil Red Toad Mountain in the night.
At the same time.
Someone in Red Toad Mountain, as if sensing something, broke out of their closed-door cultivation recklessly.
A white ruler flew out, its body constantly expanding, instantly transforming into a hundred-feet size.
This was a sign that it was being forced to its utmost limit.
However, the seemingly huge magic item.
It was casually swatted by the Three-footed River-Swallowing Toad, the hundred-feet spirit light dimmed, and it flew back.
“No!!!”
An old shrill scream rang out.
But the Three-footed River-Swallowing Toad had already crash-landed into the mountain.
Thump!
A loud noise rang out.
Then, as if it triggered a chain reaction.
An enormous amount of Heaven and Earth Qi, like a dam bursting, poured out.
Moreover, a pillar of fire, abruptly burst out from the top of Red Toad Mountain.
Boom!
Volcano, erupted!
Countless columns of fire, shot towards the sky.
The lava flowed down, pavilions, buildings, giant trees, and flowers were all reduced to ashes.
Outside the Taishan District.
Yu Rou’s face was in a daze, her mouth wide open, and her eyes filled with disbelief.
Red Toad Mountain, was destroyed!
