227: Then prepare to be stabbed.

Maybe Gai Qingfeng didn't recognize this terrifying old turtle, but Lu Chen did.

Previously, his Dao Soldier had encountered this terrifying old turtle while driving out the Deep Sea Giant Demons beneath the deep sea, but he hadn't expected to meet it again so quickly, and it had even rescued Zu Shou.

However, since Zu Shou had been rescued, the remaining Xing Chuan must be left behind.

This guy had previously used that ancient mirror Spirit Treasure to shine on Lu Chen, and could even reveal the connection between his Dao Soldier and him. This was something Lu Chen absolutely could not tolerate.

"This guy is still colluding with the Demon Clan, damn it!" After the terrifying old turtle appeared, Wei Wenlong and others, who were briefly stunned, were all furious.

However, since Zu Shou had left, their anger could only be vented on the remaining Heavenly Pride from the Southeast, led by Xing Chuan.

Without any surprise, the great battle between the Eastern Region and the Southeast began again.

As soon as Zu Shou left, Gai Qingfeng took the opportunity to attack Xing Chuan. After teaming up with Wei Wenlong, Xing Chuan's ancient mirror Spirit Treasure, no matter how strong, was helpless. He was quickly beaten back step by step by the two top Heavenly Pride.

"Gentlemen, we shall meet again someday! See you next time!" Xing Chuan became more and more shocked and angry as he fought. Suddenly, he sacrificed the ancient mirror Spirit Treasure and flashed it at Gai Qingfeng and Wei Wenlong.

In an instant, brilliant divine light erupted from his ancient mirror, instantly shooting out a terrifying beam of light that pierced the sky with a roar. Even Wei Wenlong's heavy treasure, the dragon-patterned belt around his waist, couldn't block it. He was sent flying backward, tumbling dozens of times before falling into the distance.

"You..." Gai Qingfeng reacted extremely quickly, retreating instantly and drawing out a simple golden saber covered in images of various strange beasts from the Void. With a slash at the sky, a terrifying saber aura hundreds or thousands of feet long erupted. On it, there were also numerous ancient beast phantoms accompanying it, either silently roaring or breathing fire and thunder, boosting the power of the saber aura. It collided with the divine light shone from the ancient mirror Spirit Treasure.

"Boom!"

An unprecedented astonishing collision erupted. The ancient mirror's divine light was terrifyingly powerful. After repelling Wei Wenlong, who was protected by a heavy treasure, it actually shattered the saber aura Gai Qingfeng had unleashed and continued to strike Gai Qingfeng's shoulder, directly evaporating his entire arm.

If Gai Qingfeng hadn't dodged quickly, just that one strike would have killed him with the light from the ancient mirror, leaving no corpse, and perhaps not even his Yang God would have remained.

"Damn it, what rank is this innate Spirit Treasure?!" Wei Wenlong was shocked and uncertain, his heart filled with terror!

Until now, no one's innate Spirit Treasure had ever been seen to be powerful enough to break the power of a heavy treasure. Xing Chuan's ancient mirror Spirit Treasure was the first!

Before this, among the special Spirit Treasures, the jade gourd of Gu Family's God Child Gu Qingtian, the great Buddha statue of Monk Huixin from Dajue Temple, and the innate Spirit Treasure of Great Qian Crown Prince Qian Changsheng were actually very, very strong.

But even Gu Qingtian, Huixin, or Qian Changsheng were not as powerful as Xing Chuan's ancient mirror Spirit Treasure. When fully unleashed, it could simultaneously repel Wei Wenlong, who was protected by a heavy treasure, and Gai Qingfeng, who was fully retaliating, even causing Gai Qingfeng to lose an entire arm because of it.

Such power was terrifyingly unexpected!

Because previously, Xing Chuan's ancient mirror had never displayed means of direct offensive power. Instead, it used an unknown method to shine on people and directly erase them within the ancient mirror. Wei Wenlong had been entangled with Xing Chuan's ancient mirror Spirit Treasure for a very long time because of this strange method!

As a result, they never expected that the already difficult ancient mirror Spirit Treasure actually had an even more terrifying killing move, to the extent that even the combined efforts of Gai Qingfeng and Wei Wenlong suffered such a great loss!

"Hmph..." At the same time, Xing Chuan also let out a muffled groan, his face deathly pale. The ancient mirror Spirit Treasure in front of him instantly faded away, finally disappearing completely.

Clearly, unleashing that attack just now was a great burden on him. In a short period, his ancient mirror Spirit Treasure might even be unusable again.

He glanced at Gai Qingfeng, who had lost an entire arm, then took a deep look at the shocked and uncertain Wei Wenlong, and turned around...

"Pfft!"

Without the slightest warning, Xing Chuan, who was just turning around to leave, suddenly froze, his eyes gradually widening.

However, he saw that behind him, a tall Puppet had appeared at some point. Its entire body glowed with a dark golden luster, and its large hand had pierced directly through his heart, grasping his heart in its palm.

"Lu Chen..." His Yang God instantly escaped from his Physical Body, glaring angrily at Lu Chen in front of the Divine Hall. However, before he could finish speaking, he was trapped in the Void by the Going Through Void Void-Piercing Wind Thunder Dao Soldier in front of him, and both his Yang God and Physical Body were snatched away.

"That you can see through the connection between the Dao Soldier and me with a Spirit Treasure, I don't mind, but if you publicize this, you've already crossed the line..."

If I don't kill you, what use are you?

Lu Chen gently raised his hand, and silently placed the returning Going Through Void Void-Piercing Wind Thunder Dao Soldier and Xing Chuan's Physical Body into the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin.

On the other side, Gai Qingfeng and Wei Wenlong exchanged glances. While breathing a sigh of relief, they were also secretly startled.

'This Lu Chen looks like he has no ambition and is quite friendly, but he's actually a dark-hearted guy, not someone easy to provoke!'

First, Qian Changsheng provoked him and was killed on the spot. Later, there was this Xing Chuan, who was remembered by Lu Chen until now just for revealing his Puppet!

Is this someone you can provoke?

Cannot provoke, cannot provoke!

As for Lu Chen's Dao Soldier continuously moving through the Eastern Region battlefield and collecting the physical bodies of the slain Heavenly Pride, the two of them turned a blind eye, pretending not to see it.

It wasn't just them; Wang Wanli and Wan Futu, who were slaughtering everywhere on the Southeast side, were also like this. Whenever a Heavenly Pride from the Southeast was killed by them, they would immediately retreat, waiting for Lu Chen's Going Through Void Void-Piercing Wind Thunder Dao Soldier to collect the bodies.

There was no other way. Lu Chen's Puppet Technique was heaven-reaching, and his strength was unfathomable. Moreover, the terrifying Great Power from Dongming Sect earlier had left a deep impression on them. Just thinking about it made them tremble with fear.

How could they dare to say even half a 'no' to Lu Chen now!

It was also after the strongest Zu Shou from the Southeast was rescued by the terrifying old turtle and Xing Chuan perished that the Southeast side completely collapsed, losing all will to resist, and scattered in all directions.

With this, the Qing Ming Great Cleansing was settled.

In the Southwest, where the Gu Family was based, almost only Gu Qingtian, the Gu Family's God Child, remained as a sole survivor. In the Northwest, some died and some fled. Yu Chan Sect in the North had no aggressiveness or ambition and showed no intention of competing for 'meat' with the Western Buddhist Sect, Martial God Palace, or Dragon Elephant Institute in the Eastern Region.

In the Northeast, even Great Qian Crown Prince Qian Changsheng had perished, and all the rest had fled. The Southeast also suffered a similar fate.

Only the Eastern Region, West, South, and North safely held out until the end.

Just then, Shen Qingyu from Yu Chan Sect in the North, who was seated on a jade carriage and looked like a celestial being, floated up and bowed to Lu Chen from afar: "Daoist Lu, are you willing to make a deal?"

Lu Chen, who was about to sink his consciousness into the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, had a thought and immediately understood Shen Qingyu's purpose: "Daoist, do you want the cultivation resources and territory in the Northeast?"

Shen Qingyu chuckled softly, about to reply, but saw Gai Qingfeng and Wei Wenlong also walk out together: "Daoist Lu, we, Martial God Palace and Dragon Elephant Institute, can also make this deal."

'Hmph, they're even competing for it!'

Then prepare to be fleeced!

Lu Chen's spirits were lifted...
