86: The gap of a layer of film
"If you all continue to hide in the back, wanting to take advantage of the situation..."
After killing five giants, Li Canglan stopped his movements.
He looked at the dozens of Martial Artists watching the show from afar,
"Then from now on, I will no longer continue to kill the giants."
"I'd like to see who can outlast whom."
Although these people were no match for the giants, they were not completely without the power to parry.
Even if they joined forces, with five people resisting one giant, Li Canglan could understand that.
But just hiding in the back like this, waiting for the Heaven And Earth Treasure to appear before making a move?
Where in the world is there such a cheap good thing?
Seeing that these people remained indifferent, Li Canglan indeed withdrew from the fight.
Stepping on the corpse of a giant, he leaped lightly and left the battlefield.
He sat on the ground with a relaxed, wide-legged posture, quietly operating Gluttony Desire to devour the crystal cores.
Seeing this, the Giant Sword Man Yang Diao also knew that they were now being used as pawns.
It was only the desire for the Heaven And Earth Treasure that made them rush towards the giants without hesitation.
But Li Canglan stopped fighting, which made them also develop thoughts of self-preservation.
He was a member of the Demon Suppression Division, but that did not mean he was a hot-blooded idiot.
As an up-and-coming talent of the Demon Suppression Division, he deeply understood the minds of these Martial Artists.
Don't look at how cowardly these people are right now.
When seeing these giants, they didn't even have the courage to make a move.
But once they showed signs of fatigue, or were injured,
These onlookers, the Martial Artists, would very likely attack them like hungry wolves.
This is what is called being submissive to outsiders, but striking hard at one's own kin!
Looking at Yang Diao, Wang Guangke, and the others, they also looked like they wanted to give up fighting.
These people hiding in the back finally got anxious.
"Our strength is insufficient; once we go up, our lives will be in danger!"
In the crowd, someone shouted at the top of their lungs,
"And you only need to expend a little effort to kill these giants!"
"Are you forcing us to go to our deaths?"
This person was also very smart, hiding in the crowd and not revealing himself.
Because he understood that once he revealed himself, he might follow in the footsteps of the person who was torn apart by the giants.
Li Canglan was busy absorbing the crystal core energy and couldn't even be bothered to lift his eyelids.
"We have no relation to you; why should we fight to the death for you?"
"Still the same words: either join together and you can have several people deal with one giant."
"Or you can leave now; otherwise, it's out of the question."
For a moment, the dozens of Martial Artists looked at each other, hesitating.
Braving hardships all the way, they risked their lives to get here.
They certainly weren't willing to leave now.
But fighting the giants, if they were not careful, they would also encounter life-threatening danger.
"Forget it, wanting the Heaven And Earth Treasure, how could it be that easy?"
In the team of Martial Artists, someone shouted.
Between leaving and taking a risk, they ultimately decided to take the risk.
The swarming crowd rushed up and began to push back against the giants.
Although their individual strength was insufficient, under the pressure of numbers, it still made things a bit easier for Yang Diao and the others.
However, when one person was besieging a giant with his teammates, his eyes suddenly darted around.
He looked at Li Canglan and lowered his voice,
"If it weren't for this person, we wouldn't have to take such a big risk."
Several people immediately understood and, leading the giant, slowly moved towards the direction where Li Canglan was resting with his eyes closed.
Li Canglan had been resting for a few minutes.
Added to the crystal core energy absorbed along the way.
He felt that the Raging Wind Thunder Eagle mark's energy seemed to be approaching its limit.
If the Martial Artist mark only absorbed energy normally, the efficiency of growth was extremely low.
It wasn't that the energy could grow by as much as was absorbed.
There would always be a loss ratio within this.
It was just a matter of the difference in high or low.
Li Canglan's Gluttony Desire could domineeringly devour energy directly.
But it also couldn't directly add it to the Martial Artist mark.
Fighting consumed energy, and then absorbing energy replenished the loss.
Such a cycle could increase the growth speed of the Martial Artist mark.
At this moment, Li Canglan felt as if there was a membrane in front of him.
He only needed to pierce through this membrane to officially advance to a two-star Martial Artist.
It was just that there was still some distance to this membrane.
Of course, Li Canglan knew that these people would definitely harbor crooked thoughts.
Therefore, he was operating Gluttony Desire, but he was not operating Eight Directions Thunderclap.
This was precisely so that he could interrupt it at any time!
These few people finally arrived near Li Canglan.
One of them pretended to be unaware and dodged a punch from the giant.
The majestic force of the wind hadn't even approached yet, but it blew so hard against Li Canglan's cheeks that it stung.
Seeing that his treacherous scheme had succeeded, the man sneered.
With this strike, the completely unprepared Li Canglan would certainly be seriously injured!
Then he saw Li Canglan suddenly open his eyes.
In his eyes was the confidence of someone who had everything under control, and he gave a playful smile.
A blinding cold gleam flashed.
Boom!
Li Canglan's speed in drawing his blade was extremely fast.
It seemed like it was just an afterimage, and the giant's fist flew off.
Li Canglan did a kip-up to get to his feet, and within three slashes,
The giant's body fell heavily to the ground.
Immediately after, Li Canglan's gaze fell upon this five-man team.
"W-we didn't mean it."
The Martial Artist who had just wished for Li Canglan to die here had trembling legs and hurriedly explained.
Li Canglan's eyes were filled with bone-chilling killing intent,
"Then what are you... feeling guilty about?"
"I..."
The man still wanted to explain.
Then he felt the world spinning around him.
His head flew up, and there wasn't even a trace of blood on Li Canglan's battle blade.
Fast!
The man's teammates' pupils shrank violently,
"Run!"
They now had only one thought, and that was to escape from here!
Otherwise, this god of slaughter would definitely not let them go.
But how could their speed compare to Li Canglan's?
With Stepping Wind Steps deployed, in a few flashes, he caught up to them.
Then, with a wave of his hand and a drop of his blade, he left none alive!
For a time, the remaining people were all in fear for their own safety.
However, Li Canglan had no intention of killing these innocent people.
Instead, he joined the battlefield.
Half an hour later.
Li Canglan, Yang Diao, Feng Shanshan, and the others stopped their movements, panting.
The field was littered with corpses; everywhere were the severed limbs and blood of the giants.
Li Canglan fully demonstrated the virtue of diligence and thrift.
Immediately after the battle ended, he started looting the corpses!
The burly man who sat on the ground gulped down a bottle of healing potion.
"Damn it, does this guy not get tired?"
The others were busy resting and didn't even have time to recover their state.
This guy, on the other hand, was like someone who had never killed a Demonic Beast before, crazily looting corpses!
The Giant Sword Man Yang Diao didn't bother resting; he picked out the crystal core from the giant's corpse beside him and came to Li Canglan's side.
"Before, thank you."
Li Canglan was taken aback,
"For me?"
Yang Diao seemed to be inarticulate and just nodded silently.
A few minutes ago, his girlfriend, the White Skirt Woman Wang Chuchu, had been ambushed by several giants.
He was also besieged by giants and couldn't make it in time to rescue her.
If it hadn't been for Li Canglan's intervention, even if Wang Chuchu hadn't died, she would likely have been seriously injured.
In this environment, a serious injury meant the threat of death.
When the Heaven And Earth Treasure truly appeared.
That group of people who looked like they were working hard but were actually slacking off might attack them at any time!
Li Canglan didn't stand on ceremony and accepted it directly.
He was just in need of crystal cores to use for a Realm Breakthrough.
Even during the process of looting the corpses, he had been quietly operating Gluttony Desire to devour the crystal cores.
After looting an area, Li Canglan swaggered off to find a place to sit down.
And those Martial Artists in the distance all started to harbor crooked thoughts.
