Chapter 74

"Ah, I see. Body refinement to generate a powerful aura, this Wuji Dragon Collapse can only be used with the assistance of a powerful aura. No wonder my cultivation has always been ineffective!"

The thin figure, covered in blood, looked at his hands, seemingly forgetting the person he had just injured.

"Pfft, who are you? Why are you killing us?"

The burly man spat out a mouthful of blood, struggling to get up, his right shoulder blade completely caved in, his right arm hanging limply, blood gushing out.

"Cough, cough!"

The lecherous middle-aged man was the same, but his eyes darted around, seemingly plotting something.

San Heizi's face was filled with unease, facing the person who had given him a terrifying feeling twice, he couldn't muster the courage to resist from the bottom of his heart.

"Heavenly Cloud Thirteen Thieves, No. 2 Yunzhonghe, No. 6 Yunzhongxiong, No. 7 Yunzhongchai, No. 8 Yunzhongbao!"

Li Chen dispelled the thoughts in his mind, raised his head, and slowly scanned the faces of the few people, speaking coldly, his gaze finally landing on San Heizi.

From last night until now, he had let San Heizi leave, using him as a guide, while Lei Peng and Jinzi tracked him, leading to this place.

As he had expected, the cautious Thirteen Thieves would never all go together, leaving some to guard their lair, which Li Chen had eliminated with an ambush.

He then arranged the bodies of the four, putting on the clothes of Yunzhonghu, who had a similar build to him. No matter who came to investigate, they would face his powerful ambush.

In the end, the tall and thin middle-aged man, Yunzhonghe, who had a unique body refinement technique, didn't even have time to use his skill and was brutally beaten to a pulp by Li Chen.

Yunzhongbao, the eighth, who was skilled in ambush and sneak attacks, used Yunzhonghe's body as a shield at the last moment, but it was in vain, as Li Chen's iron pen pierced through his body.

Now, the body refinement practitioner Yunzhongxiong and the cunning Yunzhongchai were both severely injured, their courage shattered.

For decades, the mighty Heavenly Cloud Thirteen Thieves, in the hands of a young man not yet twenty, had already lost more than half.

"I will ask, and you will answer, giving you a quick death!"

Having already tortured and killed Yunzhonghu and the others, Li Chen's inner savagery had dissipated, and besides, it was also to divert the attention of the strong enemies earlier.

"Ha ha, cough, cough, impressive, I haven't seen a young man like you in many years, but to make Grandpa Xiong beg for mercy, that's a dream, Earth Bear Dominance!"

Yunzhongxiong staggered, laughed wildly, and suddenly pulled out a jade bottle, crushing it in his mouth and swallowing it. His figure flickered as he charged at Li Chen again.

A faint earth-yellow light enveloped his body, the manifestation of an earth attribute body refinement technique, having reached the Second Stage Martial Body. He drew a heavy hammer from his back and swung it.

His fearless momentum was like a challenge to the heavens, ready to fight to the death.

"You are a man, but why are you a bandit!"

Li Chen's voice was cold and stern. He crouched, then sprang forward like a rabbit, swift as an arrow, striking Yunzhongxiong's chest with a punch, while gripping his left wrist.

Peng!

Facing Li Chen's full-force attack, Yunzhongxiong's robust body spewed blood, but he still laughed and delivered a powerful punch.

Having taken a Blood Rage Pill, his potential was instantly unleashed, temporarily boosting him to the mid-Second Stage Martial Body.

Unfortunately, he had been severely injured by Li Chen's sudden realization of the Illusory Cloud Collapse earlier, and now his strength was at most on par with his usual level.

His desperate attack did not make Li Chen take him seriously. With his early-Second Stage Martial Body and early-True Refinement Realm cultivation, the mysterious powerful aura that had evolved after his breakthrough erupted with full force.

Peng, peng, peng!

In an instant, countless punches were thrown, and Yunzhongxiong, like a broken kite, spewed blood and his eyes dimmed as he crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

A Second Stage Martial Body expert, thus fell!

Swoosh!

As Yunzhongxiong charged forward, Yunzhongchai channeled his true qi and fled swiftly.

"Can you escape?"

After killing Yunzhongxiong, Li Chen did not stop, naturally unfolding the Wind Drift Step, transforming into a gust of wind and chasing after him.

San Heizi, who had been standing there holding Yunzhonghu's body, shivered as the wind hit his face and hurriedly tried to escape.

Whoosh, whoosh!

The cries of an eagle and a monkey sounded almost simultaneously, two gusts of wind shooting towards San Heizi from above and below.

"What the hell is this?"

San Heizi, still injured, dared not stay and tried to rush forward.

Swoosh!

A sharp gust of wind instantly swept across his back, tearing off a piece of flesh, causing him to scream in pain.

Peng!

In the dim light, a thin figure suddenly grabbed his ankle, lifting him up and slamming him to the ground.

Squeak, squeak!

The thin figure pounced on his chest, raining down punches like a storm.

Ah!

The screams gradually faded, his breathing becoming shallow, and he was clearly dying.

After a short while, a惨叫声从远处的密林中响起，衣袂猎猎作响，嗖忽间，黎晨抓着云中豺的身体落在场中。

身影接连晃动，将地上的几件灵兵收起，斩下十三盗几人的头颅，把尸体扔进木屋中。

拆掉几座木屋，堆积起一个柴垛点燃，熊熊烈火登时映照了整个山谷。

呼啦啦！

狂风吹过，数丈高的火苗猎猎作响，舔舐着十几具尸身，很快就发出阵阵焦糊。

“老大云中龙、老四云中蝎、老十云中蝶、十一云中蜂、十二云中蜈、十三云中蟾，豺狼虎豹，蛇鼠一窝。

以十三盗的本事，应该很快就能找来，云中龙，我等着你，看你是龙，是蛇！”

火光掩映下，黎晨喃喃呓语，神情说不出的平静。

但在一阵风沙过后，却有种说不出的肃杀！

“松阳城，古苍山脉外围，玄云宗属地内一百零八主城之一，不知比落凰城繁华了多少倍，据传城主乃是煅真境巅峰的绝顶强者，师出玄云宗！”

数日后，离古苍山脉外围数百里外的一座大城前，身穿斗篷的黎晨，仰首望了一眼高挂的牌匾，信步迈入其中。

“上好的二阶妖兽皮甲，只要二十块下品元石，等于武者的第二生命啊，快来看一看！”

“极品救命灵丹，复血丹”

颇为熟悉的叫卖声，但已然提高了不止一个档次，来到一处繁华街道的黎晨，嘴角微翘，仿若又回到了一年多前。

为了提升修为，应对诸多压力，不得不以内息境五层修为，冒险进入古苍山脉外围，结果险死还生，时至今日，已然是煅真境武者。

白云苍狗，世事变迁，不得不说造化无常。

“大侠，需要导儿不？别的不说，这松阳城三十里，没有我三狗子不知道的地儿！”

就在黎晨四下打量之时，一道略显稚嫩夹杂着丝丝期许与畏惧的声音从身侧传来，令黎晨下意识的顿住脚步。

A scream echoed from the distant forest, the sound of fluttering clothes, and in a flash, Li Chen appeared in the clearing, holding Yunzhongchai's body.

His figure flickered, picking up the few spirit weapons on the ground, beheading the Thirteen Thieves, and throwing their bodies into the wooden house.

He dismantled several wooden houses, piled them into a stack, and set them on fire. The blazing flames immediately illuminated the entire valley.

Whoosh!

The strong wind blew, and the flames, several feet high, crackled, licking the dozen or so corpses, quickly emitting a burnt smell.

"Leader Yunzhonglong, No. 4 Yunzhongxie, No. 10 Yunzhongdie, No. 11 Yunzhongfeng, No. 12 Yunzhongwu, No. 13 Yunzhongchan, a den of wolves, tigers, leopards, snakes, and rats. With the skills of the Thirteen Thieves, they should find me soon. Yunzhonglong, I'm waiting for you, to see if you are a dragon or a snake!"

Under the glow of the fire, Li Chen muttered to himself, his expression calm and composed.

But after a gust of wind and sand, there was an indescribable sense of solemnity!

"Songyang City, on the outskirts of the Ancient Cang Mountains, one of the 108 main cities in the territory of the Xuan Yun Sect, is said to be many times more prosperous than Luohuang City. It is rumored that the city lord is a peak True Refinement Realm supreme expert, a disciple of the Xuan Yun Sect!"

A few days later, in front of a large city several hundred miles from the outskirts of the Ancient Cang Mountains, Li Chen, wearing a cloak, looked up at the sign hanging high and walked in.

"Top-quality Second Stage demon beast leather armor, only twenty low-grade essence stones, it's like a second life for a martial artist, come and take a look!"

"Top-grade life-saving spirit pill, Blood Recovery Pill"

The familiar cries of vendors, but they had clearly improved in quality. Li Chen, now in a bustling street, smiled slightly, as if he had returned to over a year ago.

To improve his cultivation and deal with various pressures, he had to冒险进入古苍山脉外围，结果险死还生，时至今日，已然是煅真境武者。

白云苍狗，世事变迁，不得不说造化无常。

“大侠，需要导儿不？别的不说，这松阳城三十里，没有我三狗子不知道的地儿！”

就在黎晨四下打量之时，一道略显稚嫩夹杂着丝丝期许与畏惧的声音从身侧传来，令黎晨下意识的顿住脚步。

---

To improve his cultivation and deal with various pressures, he had to enter the outskirts of the Ancient Cang Mountains with only a Fifth Layer Inner Breath Realm cultivation, and he narrowly escaped death. Now, he is a True Refinement Realm martial artist.

The world changes, and fate is unpredictable.

"Sir, do you need a guide? I, San Gouzi, know every inch of Songyang City within thirty miles!"

As Li Chen was looking around, a slightly immature voice, filled with hope and fear, came from beside him, making him instinctively stop.
