118: Green Bird Escapes

Lu Xingchen's heart was filled with joy.

This bitter battle finally yielded some rewards!

Xiong Jun looked at Wolf King's corpse, his hairs standing on end, and he muttered, "You killed Wolf King! You killed Wolf King!"

Lu Xingchen drew his shadow sword and said lightly, "Xiong Jun, if you don't want to die, then lead the Yao Beasts away from Tianhuo City. Otherwise, you will suffer the same fate as Wolf King!"

Xiong Jun was slightly stunned, then roared angrily, "Wishful thinking! Lu Xingchen, you definitely can't use that move a second time. You're already at the end of your rope, I'll kill you now to avenge Wolf King!"

Lu Xingchen said indifferently, "I don't have much Qi left, but dealing with you is still not a problem."

Xiong Jun shouted, "I'd like to try!"

With that, it swiped a claw at Lu Xingchen.

Lu Xingchen clasped his hands together and used the "Startling Soul Roar."

A black skull head appeared above Lu Xingchen's head and shot towards Xiong Jun.

After the previous battle, Xiong Jun no longer underestimated Lu Xingchen in the slightest, and he strengthened the power of his claw.

However, the skull head passed directly through its claw, crashing heavily into its body and impacting its Soul body.

Xiong Jun let out a cry of agony, its right claw instantly lost all strength, and it fell from the air, landing on the city wall.

Lu Xingchen quickly followed, and while Xiong Jun was stiff, he stabbed his sword into its eye.

Finally, the shadow sword pierced through its eyeball, destroying its brain tissue.

Congratulations, host, your Realm has increased to Six-Star Martial Spirit, and you have gained 36 talent points!

Lu Xingchen's heart was filled with joy, and he immediately checked his attribute panel.

Not bad, another step closer to Martial King.

Lu Xingchen had just closed his attribute panel.

Tiger King, on the other side, also let out a mournful cry and fell onto the city wall.

Lu Xingchen looked up at Li Hua, only to see a huge wound on his stomach that exposed his internal organs.

Clearly, Li Hua had fought Tiger King to the death and killed it.

Lu Xingchen came to Li Hua's side and asked with concern, "Senior Brother Li Hua, are you alright?"

Li Hua took out a fourth-grade rejuvenation pill from his Storage Ring, swallowed it, then shook his head slightly and said softly, "I won't die, but I don't have the strength to fight anymore."

Lu Xingchen nodded gently: "My Qi is also almost exhausted."

"Senior Brother Li Hua, you're amazing. You crossed a major Realm to kill a Fifth-rank Demonic Beast with an Eight-Star Martial Spirit Realm."

Li Hua said in a deep voice, "You're the truly impressive one! You fought across nearly ten minor Realms, killed two Fifth-rank Demonic Beasts, and didn't even get injured."

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Just luck!"

With that, Lu Xingchen asked a question that had bothered him for a long time.

"Senior Brother Li Hua, your true combat power has already reached the Martial King level, so why are you still only fourth on the earth ranking? Is it because you didn't use secret techniques when you fought the top three, or do the top three also have strength beyond the Martial Spirit Realm?"

Li Hua said in a deep voice, "I did use them."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen's heart was shocked.

Li Hua continued, "I challenged Jiang E, who is ranked third on the earth ranking, while using the 'Meridian Breaking Art', but I still lost to her. As for Long Chen, who is first, and Li Fei, who is second, I haven't fought them."

"But Jiang E must have fought them. I can't even beat Jiang E, let alone challenge the second and first. I can only say that although the top three on the earth ranking haven't broken through the Martial King Realm, their combat power far exceeds that of ordinary Martial King experts. They will definitely pass the next inner sect entrance examination."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen gasped.

This answer was the one he least wanted to hear.

Even Li Hua, using the "Meridian Breaking Art," couldn't beat them. How strong must the top three on the earth ranking be?

Indeed, the Tianyuan Continent is never lacking in Geniuses.

He wasn't the only one who could fight across Realms!

Even with the System as his backing, he couldn't afford to be arrogant or careless, otherwise, he could easily fall prematurely.

For a moment, Lu Xingchen was also filled with curiosity about the top three on the earth ranking.

He wondered what the outcome would be if he fought them.

Looking at the shocked Lu Xingchen, Li Hua patted his shoulder and laughed, "Junior Brother Lu, you don't need to belittle yourself. The top three on the earth ranking are all Senior Disciples who have been in the Cangxuan Sect for three years, while you have only joined the Cangxuan Sect for a few months."

"In my opinion, your talent and potential are far above theirs; all you need is time. It is my great fortune to be able to become your follower."

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly.

"I understand. Senior Brother Li, you rest first, I'll go help Great Master Li Feng!"

With that, Lu Xingchen took a qi recovery pill, used his Azure Cloud Wings, and flew to Li Feng's side.

Li Feng then noticed the situation outside and looked at Lu Xingchen with a shocked expression.

"Young Friend Lu, you killed those two Demonic Kings?"

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly: "Barely won."

Li Feng gave Lu Xingchen a thumbs up.

Then he turned to look at Azure Spirit Sparrow and said loudly, "Azure Spirit Sparrow, three of your five Demonic Kings are dead, do you still want to stubbornly resist?"

Azure Spirit Sparrow's face was ashen.

Such heavy casualties were something she had never anticipated.

She had originally thought that Bai Ling's emergence would lead everyone to conquer Tianhuo City, but she didn't expect that the Heavenly Battle Forest would actually lose three Fifth-rank Demonic Beasts.

They were all the foundation of the Heavenly Battle Forest.

And all of this was because of this young man named Lu Xingchen.

How could he be so powerful?

Azure Spirit Sparrow looked at Lu Xingchen and said in a deep voice, "Lu Xingchen, is it? You're truly formidable! I, Azure Spirit Sparrow, will remember this deep hatred between you and the Heavenly Battle Forest. There will be plenty of time in the future for us to settle the score!"

With that, she transformed into her true form, a Demonic Sparrow the size of a human, and flew away from Tianhuo City.

Lu Xingchen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

His Qi was almost completely used up, and coming to help Li Feng was just for show.

If Azure Spirit Sparrow hadn't believed him and insisted on fighting to the end, he wouldn't have been able to fight anymore.

At that time, the casualties among the city's defenders would have been even greater.

Li Feng deactivated the Spirit Formation, patted Lu Xingchen's shoulder, and laughed, "Young Friend Lu, Tianhuo City was able to turn the tide and avert disaster this time, all thanks to you!"

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "Don't rush to celebrate yet, there's still one formidable fellow we haven't dealt with!"
