139: Chapter 139 Brother, we're on the same side! Prisoner, Spirit Crystal +1!

Qin Fenghuo was choked up and couldn't speak.

Down below, that life-and-death collision, which seemed to have stemmed from a major strategic error, erupted!

Having lost the mutual assistance they had during their passive defense, all the freshmen were fighting as if they were on their own. The morale they had previously solidified was completely shattered when faced with the vicious and brutal Cultists!

A massacre!

It was simply a one-sided slaughter!

Seeing this scene, Jiang Mingrou was secretly delighted.

Using the freshmen of Jingdu Martial Arts University as her expendable resources to deplete the strength of other competitors—this way, the kills would count towards her tally. Both sides were effectively working for her!

She didn't hold back at all when she attacked. She showed no mercy, even though they were fellow members of the Heavenly Demon Sect. On the contrary... she was even more vicious!

In fact, since her goal had already been achieved, she no longer hid her strength. Her strength at the mid-stage of the Yukong Realm was nearly unrivaled.

This, however, allowed the Saint Candidate among this group of Cultists to discover the anomaly.

"Jiang Mingrou! You have gone too far!"

That Saint Candidate had just been smug about killing so many geniuses from Jingdu Martial Arts University. But in the blink of an eye, he realized that the leader was actually Jiang Mingrou in disguise! In an instant, he understood that everything he had done was merely making wedding clothes for someone else!

Furthermore, that mastermind was attacking his people right under his nose! This was intolerable!

He immediately shifted his offensive, took his men, and charged toward Jiang Mingrou!

Just at this moment, Cui Xuandu also arrived in time with his men to provide support, and it unexpectedly evolved into a chaotic multi-party battle! The scene was in total disarray!

Meanwhile, in a small patch of space in the distance, the three of them—Dong Dajin and his companions—relied on Dong Dajin's Spatial Control talent to temporarily escape from this chaotic battlefield.

"Goodness, if we go out there, wouldn't we be minced into meat paste immediately?"

Dong Dajin's face was pale, and sweat dripped continuously from his forehead. Clearly, using this talent was extremely taxing for him!

But compared to this discomfort, they were even less willing to face the Sky-Walking Grandmasters one after another! On this battlefield, Xiantian cultivators were complete cannon fodder. Sky-Walking Grandmasters were everywhere. If they were discovered, they probably wouldn't even be able to withstand a casual slap from one of them, even if they gave it their all!

"Damn it! If Brother Lu were here, would these guys dare to be so rampant?"

"He would just demonstrate 'killing a person every ten steps,' and anyone who dared to look twice would be killed instantly!" Dong Dajin muttered silently in his heart.

Unfortunately, this was just wishful thinking; how could it actually happen?

Huh? Why weren't Luo Qingxue and Sima Lan speaking? In the past, didn't their eyes light up whenever Brother Lu was mentioned?

Dong Dajin forced himself to perk up and looked back. This one glance nearly caused the space he had temporarily isolated to collapse!

Unbeknownst to them, a man had appeared in this space. He was burly with a cold gaze. He looked at them with a hint of playfulness. His aura was like an abyss; he was definitely a powerhouse at the Yukong Realm, and his cultivation was certainly not low! Moreover, judging by his aura, it was of the same origin as the Cultists outside.

Beside him, Luo Qingxue and Sima Lan were in an attacking stance, but judging by the struggle on their faces, their bodies had instinctively developed a fear of this powerhouse, causing them to stiffen completely and be unable to move!

"Big Brother... don't be impulsive!"

"Actually, we are on the same side! I am a Cultist too!"

The fat on Dong Dajin's face trembled as he took out a Cultist identity token from his bosom. It was genuine. It just wasn't from the Heavenly Demon Sect, but rather from a sect that mainly operated in Lanchuan Province.

The business of the Fuming Chamber of Commerce was very extensive. Naturally, whether for self-preservation or to leave a way out, as the young master, Dong Dajin could naturally obtain such things, and they could withstand investigation. It could truly be said that money could move gods!

But the key was...

Crack—!

A mere glance landed on the token, and in an instant, it shattered into pieces! Clearly, the other party... did not recognize it!

"Big Brother... don't rush."

"Do you know Lu Qingyun? The one who slaughtered an entire Tianjiao Camp in Lanchuan Province a few days ago and is wanted nationwide. That's my brother! We are very close; we've lived and died together! We're all on the same side, let's not ruin the harmony..."

Dong Dajin's face was twisted in despair, and he had even given up all hope in his heart. He could only watch helplessly as the burly man's hand reached toward him. At the last moment, he weakly took out the Spirit Crystal he had just used to recover his mental energy. "Buying my life, is this enough?"

Clang—!!! A sound of metal clashing, which seemed to explode right by his ear, suddenly rang out! He shrank his head and looked to the side. His pupils instantly constricted! A long sword was being gripped tightly by the burly man's hand! If not for that, this long sword would have likely chopped his head off just now!

This was really no ordinary danger! He had just removed the spatial barrier, and his head had almost been separated from his body! But fortunately... it seemed the life-buying money had worked?

"As fellow members of the Heavenly Demon Sect, why do you want to stop me!?"

The Xiantian Cultist holding the long sword, despite his fear, still shouted sternly at Lu Qingyun.

And the response he got was a slap from the air!

Slap—!! A mist of blood dispersed; the Blood Escape Technique had entered the realm of perfection!

"What kind of status do you have to dare to tell me what to do?" Lu Qingyun's eyes showed no ripples as he uttered those cold words.

This made Dong Dajin, who was closest, tremble uncontrollably. No wonder what he said earlier was useless. The great god in front of him was so ruthless even when attacking his own people, so how could he let him go? However, the only thing that was useful was... bribery?

Snap—!

The string holding the Spirit Crystal around Dong Dajin's neck was instantly snapped. A sharp pain struck him. Before Dong Dajin could react, he saw the burly man in front of him fix his gaze on the two women, Sima Lan and Luo Qingxue.

"Hiss—!!!" Dong Dajin gasped, feeling that this guy in front of him was truly greedy. His appetite was no less than his Brother Lu's! One Spirit Crystal was enough to buy a life; he was really black-hearted! The key was... he didn't have any extra Spirit Crystals!

"Big Brother, how about after we go back, we find a place to send the Spirit Crystal to you. Double... no, triple! Don't worry, I definitely won't lie to you, and I won't set any traps. My family runs a Chamber of Commerce; we value integrity the most!"

"No need."

This one sentence made Dong Dajin's heart sink halfway. But the next moment, he was a bit confused again.

"As students of Jingdu Martial Arts University, this money should naturally be paid by Jingdu Martial Arts University."

"From now on, you are my captives."

"When the time comes, remember to howl a few more times."

Lu Qingyun suppressed a laugh, his hands itching, and gave Dong Dajin a slap on the head. Immediately after, before he could understand the meaning of the words just spoken, Lu Qingyun suddenly soared into the air. His bold and rampant posture immediately attracted a lot of attention!

A Sky-Walking teacher from Jingdu Martial Arts University, after defeating his original opponent, charged straight toward him!

However... the moment Lu Qingyun's gaze fell upon him, the whole world seemed to stop spinning for him!

That gaze seemed to evolve into a terrifying hell, placing him in the eighteenth level of hell, suffering the pain of being gnawed by ten thousand ghosts! And that figure was sitting high on a throne! Overlooking all the creatures of hell, supreme, unrivaled, and invincible! Even harboring the slightest bit of hostility toward him was a great blasphemy, enough to be tortured endlessly for eternity!

At the last moment, he only saw that figure point a finger at him!

In an instant, his arm exploded!

His entire body fell downward, and by his ear... a voice rang out.

"Number of captives + 1, number of Spirit Crystals + 1."

...
