After all, ten million blood slaves might not be as destructive as the three million elite soldiers on the battlefield, but this method of exterminating a species was definitely not as effective as the one between heaven and earth. It sent chills down one's spine.

As long as the war went on, the number of blood slaves would increase infinitely. The final result might be six million elite soldiers from the other countries exchanging for tens of millions or even more blood slaves formed from the citizens and soldiers of the other countries, killing each other.

On this day, Fang Chen returned. The war was not over. He was already powerless to support it.

In one battle, for the sake of winning the battle, Fang Chen had used himself as a bait. Although he had defeated the enemy in the end, he had been ambushed by the enemy's experts. He had been poisoned. This battle had cost the Unicorn Guard more than a thousand people. This was the most disastrous loss they had suffered since the founding of their history. As for the three squads selected from the elite Heavy Unicorn Guards, each squad had twenty-four members. All of them had perished in battle.

The 'Killing' team was chosen by Fang Chen from the Heavy Unicorn Guards. Usually, they were personal guards that only listened to his and Fang Lin Tao's commands. There was a total of three squads of twelve people, each of whom were experts amongst the Second Order warriors, and their captain was even a Third Order warrior.

Ever since Fang Lin Tao had disappeared, the 'Kill' team had returned to Fang Chen's side, protecting Fang Chen's safety, while the 'Kill' team had always been protecting Fang Li's safety.

Using his one million strong army as bait, his five million strong army went all out to attack the rear of the army of the State of Mang Xue. In the end, he had exchanged the casualties of two million elite soldiers of the State of Mang Xue for nearly four million soldiers of the State of Mang Xue dying in the State of Yuan Lu forever, and the most important result of this war was the destruction of the food supply of the State of Mang Xue. As a result, the State of Mang Xue was unable to attack for the next three months or even for the next six months. The unassailable months of the Light Snow Kingdom could very well change the entire course of the war. As long as they were able to inflict heavy damage to the Brightshore Kingdom in the next few months, this crisis could even be resolved.

Therefore, Fang Chen had taken a huge risk and used himself as bait to carry out this battle. The Yuan Lu Empire, which no longer had any other way out, needed even more of this kind of battle.

However, when he was surrounded by the army of the Mang Xue Country, Fang Chen discovered that there were three warriors of the sixth step guarding the enemy's army.

Of the three warriors of the sixth step, Fang Chen had confirmed after exchanging blows with them that the other two were not from the Country of Mang Xue. He wasn't even an expert from any of the four countries that were currently attacking the Yuan Lu country.

When Fang Chen saw the two of them, he already knew that this battle was far from being as simple as it appeared on the surface. At the same time, he was also certain that Fang Lin Tao's disappearance was related to the organization behind this mysterious expert who had suddenly appeared.

In the end, however, they were able to delay their forces from completing the mission they had sent out to rescue themselves. However, those three warriors of the sixth step attacked the camp at the last moment, killing tens of thousands of elites one after the other. Finally, after destroying the camp set up by Fang Chen, they found him.

After paying a heavy price, he forced back three warriors of the sixth step, protecting Fang Chen. However, Fang Chen was still struck by his opponent's palm, which broke Fang Chen's heart. "If it weren't for the fact that Fang Chen was a Fifth Martial Stage practitioner and could break through to the Sixth Martial Stage at any time, he might not have been able to make it home to take a look.

It was not that the three warriors of the sixth step did not want to kill Fang Chen on the spot, but even the warriors of the sixth step did not possess endless inner strength. After killing the tens of thousands of soldiers, they had to face the encirclement of the great army.

When the three of them left, they weren't completely unharmed.

When Fang Chen returned, he was already on the verge of running out of oil. He held his breath and wanted to return home to take a look.

When Fang Li saw his grandfather, the old marshal no longer had that domineering aura. His appearance was haggard and withered, like a rotten tree.

The moment Fang Li saw Fang Chen, uncontrollably, tears rolled down his face. At that moment, he was filled with hatred. He was in pain. He was unwilling. Yet, there was nothing he could do.

No matter where a martial artist's meridians were broken, the best outcome would be that their cultivation would stagnate and gradually decline in the future. If they could find the Holy Medicine, there was still hope for treatment, but their meridians would be damaged. Moreover, Fang Chen's heart meridian was shattered, and he did not die on the spot. It was already because he was at the peak of the Fifth Order that he managed to survive.

"Grandpa …" Fang Li knelt in front of Fang Chen's bed, his head lowered as he groaned in pain.

"Li'er, don't cry." Fang Chen stretched out his weak hand and patted Fang Li's head. After a while, he said, "I'm afraid Grandpa won't be able to take care of you."

"Grandfather, you'll be fine. You'll definitely be fine." The pain in his heart was unbearable, and he almost couldn't hold back his sobs.

"Foolish child, who can live without dying? Grandfather is very tired, it's time to rest. "But your father …" "You must wait for your father's return. Lin Tao has long since surpassed the combat prowess of a Sixth Martial Stage practitioner. Now that he's gone, he must have encountered great difficulties, but Lin Tao will definitely return."

"Li'er, after you were born, you weren't fond of literature and didn't like martial arts, your father and I have never forced you to do so, but now that your father has gone missing, I can't protect you anymore. Grandson, maybe your father and I were too arrogant back then, and wanted to let you live a carefree life, so that you don't have to work as hard as we do, but now, sigh …"

"Grandfather, look." Fang Li said in a choked voice. He placed his palm on his grandfather's hand as the Purple Profound Scripture in his body surged, connecting the space between his eyebrows and his dantian. A stream of energy surged as it gently flowed towards Fang Chen's big hand.

"Yes." Fang Chen sensed the Purple Profound Scripture Fang Li released. It was already the strength of a Second Martial Stage practitioner. Feeling relieved, he tried his best to move the muscles on his face and smiled. "Good, as expected of Fang Chen's grandson, in four years, he's actually already a Second Martial Stage practitioner."

However, Fang Chen did not care much about it. Fang Chen's understanding of his own grandson surpassed Fang Lin Tao's; after all, after Fang Li was born, Fang Lin Tao had already taken command of the national army and rarely returned home. The only people who accompanied Fang Li were Guan Yun Lan and Fang Chen.

From Fang Chen's point of view, Fang Li was just on the spur of the moment. He knew the difficulty of cultivating the Purple Profound Scripture. Fang Chen did not believe that Fang Li, who had never suffered before, would really keep cultivating.

Now that he was hanging his breath and dying at any moment, he actually found out that his grandson, in just four years time, was already a Second Order Warrior. With this kind of cultivation speed, even in the whole of Yuan Lu Country, his talent was top-notch, not to mention Fang Li's Purple Profound Scripture. The difficulty had increased.

"Li'er, train diligently. Now that a chaotic world has been created, only by possessing powerful strength can you protect yourself. Remember grandpa's words." Fang Chen looked at Fang Li and said seriously.
