171: Come again

Three to five million zhen crystal was already the entire savings of a veteran Thirteenth-Order peak expert. Qingyang taking out thirty million zhen crystal in one go, it's easy to imagine how many experts it would attract.

As for those who wanted to rob him, Qingyang paid them no mind. The moment he arrived at the Flowing Land, he immediately spoke to several Order Keeper Captains.

"Lead your respective teams and return to Bei Guan City first."

The reason he let these subordinates leave first was also because Qingyang knew that in the upcoming battle, these Tenth-Order and Eleventh-Order subordinates simply wouldn't be able to participate.

As five Order Keepers and fifty Order Keepers left first, Qingyang turned around and carefully placed Mao Qiu between Hong Zong's mane, and also let Shidian lie on Hong Zong's back.

"Hong Zong, as a speed-type Divine Beast, your speed is the fastest. If a big battle occurs, you must protect them both."

Beside him, Hong Zong nodded vigorously and said seriously, "Don't worry, as long as they are here, I am here; if they perish, I perish."

Just as Hong Zong was speaking, Qingtian also unhurriedly lay down on Hong Zong's back and said weakly, "I'm old, I can't walk anymore."

Knowing that Qingtian was intentionally protecting Shidian and Mao Qiu, Qingyang nodded gratefully towards Qingtian.

Mao Qiu's soul fire was too weak now and couldn't withstand any disturbance, so after settling Mao Qiu, Qingyang immediately placed a mass of Thirteenth-Order Bone Beast energy next to it for Mao Qiu to absorb.

At this time, Hong Zong and Bai Rou Rou were in the very center, Qingyang was at the very front, Jin Hua and Jin Sheng were on Hong Zong's left and right sides, and Blood Dragon was at the rear, eager for action.

This guy, Blood Dragon, although his strength was only at the Thirteenth-Order late stage, his combat power was more than capable of fighting against Fourteenth-Order middle and late stages.

After all, "Initial" wasn't just a simple phrase.

As Qingyang's faction rapidly moved towards the North Faction in this formation, many experts with greedy intentions finally couldn't sit still.

Thus, the first wave of experts immediately launched an attack on Qingyang and his companions.

There were a full ten Thirteenth-Order experts, and their respective Bone Beasts were also of Thirteenth-Order strength.

Facing the attacks of these people, Qingyang, who had already advanced to the Twelfth-Order middle stage, strongly met two groups of experts.

On both sides, Jin Hua and Jin Sheng each met one group of experts.

As for Blood Dragon at the rear, he extremely bravely directly drew all the remaining seven groups of experts into his own battlefield.

The Flowing Land of the West Faction was mostly dominated by withered white barren forests.

In the barren forest, after just a few hours of fighting, the moment Blood Dragon clawed the head of the last Thirteenth-Order middle-stage Bone Beast, the great battle finally ended.

"Clean up the battlefield and continue returning," Qingyang said coldly.

In the following days, Qingyang held a mass of Thirteenth-Order Bone Beast energy in each of his front bone claws to absorb, while continuing to lead the team and quickly return to the North Faction.

As for the spoils of war, they were all taken into Shidian's body.

On this day, when Qingyang and the others finally arrived at the Flowing Land managed by Xi Ze City, which was the Flowing Land on the edge of the West Faction, Mao Qiu also finally recovered to First-Order aura under the saturated energy absorption.

The moment it just recovered to First-Order and sensed Qingyang's aura, Mao Qiu couldn't help but have its soul fire flicker all over, saying excitedly, "Qing Yang, woo woo woo, I finally see you, I thought I..."

At the very front, Qingyang slowly turned his head to look at the palm-sized Mao Qiu bone body and said softly, "Absorb the energy with peace of mind, we'll talk about it when we return to our faction."

Mao Qiu, as a Divine Beast that had already broken through to the Fourteenth-Order on Blue Star, as long as it had enough energy, it could break through to the Fourteenth-Order at the fastest speed.

Although the resources needed for breakthroughs to the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Orders afterward would be dozens of times that of Blue Star, Qingyang was confident that its realm wouldn't fall too far behind Yin Li and the others.

Not long after Qingyang and the others arrived within the range of Xi Ze City's Flowing Land, they encountered a group of blocking forces once again.

Among these people, the leader was that Thirteenth-Order peak expert from the Sha Ling Palace.

Moreover, by his side, there was even a Fourteenth-Order initial stage expert following him.

"Hand over that Divine Beast Bone Rat, and I will spare your lives."

Facing the words of that Sha Ling Palace expert, Qingyang slightly raised his head and assessed the opposing team.

Five groups of Thirteenth-Order initial stage experts, one group of Thirteenth-Order peak, and one group of Fourteenth-Order initial stage experts.

Facing this force, even Hong Zong couldn't help but become serious.

"What the hell kind of Sha Ling Palace are you, daring to target us? Die for this lord!"

Blood Dragon had a fiery temper and immediately charged towards that Fourteenth-Order expert and his partner to kill them.

Seeing this scene, Qingyang said softly, "Rough on the outside but detailed on the inside, well done, Blood Dragon."

Currently, Qingyang's strength had only recovered to the Twelfth-Order late stage. If he fought against that Thirteenth-Order peak combination, it would be at most a fifty-fifty split.

As for Jin Hua and Jin Sheng's combat power, they could only each hold back one group of Thirteenth-Order experts.

Hong Zong's strength could certainly fight against Thirteenth-Order late stage, or even peak, but now on Hong Zong's back were the two weaknesses, Mao Qiu and Shidian.

In the fighting between Thirteenth-Order experts, even slightly released energy could cause Mao Qiu and Shidian to die on the spot, so Hong Zong didn't dare to act rashly at all.

And Blood Dragon's seemingly reckless behavior was actually to gain the greatest advantage for Qingyang and the others.

Blood Dragon, at the Thirteenth-Order late stage, faced the Fourteenth-Order initial stage expert and his Fourteenth-Order initial stage Bone Beast partner.

Although his realm was suppressed, the moment they met, Blood Dragon's combat power instantly caused that Fourteenth-Order expert to retreat step by step.

Seeing this situation, that Thirteenth-Order peak Sha Ling Palace expert was instantly greatly shocked and directly charged towards Qingyang to kill him.

Facing this situation, Qingyang's Seven-Colored Bone, along with three relatively faded black, white, and golden lights, instantly permeated his entire body, and at the same time, he charged towards the opponent to kill him.

Boom~

The moment the energies of the Thirteenth-Order peak and Qingyang, who was at the Twelfth-Order late stage and infinitely close to the Twelfth-Order peak, violently collided, Qingyang retreated a full hundred and thirty meters with "thump thump thump~".

In contrast, that Thirteenth-Order peak expert and his Fierce Beast partner only retreated a hundred meters.

Who was stronger and who was weaker was clear at a glance.

"Damn it, I'll go all out."

Bang~

As Qingyang's angry roar sounded, in Qingyang's two front dragon bone claws, the two masses of Thirteenth-Order Bone Beast energy that had been half-absorbed were suddenly crushed by Qingyang.

The next second, Qingyang's entire bone body began to flash with ten-colored light, and at the same time, the energy light from his bone joints simultaneously absorbed the crushed Bone Beast energy.

Boom~

With Qingyang's reckless and violent energy absorption, in the blink of an eye, Qingyang's strength also suddenly surged, directly reaching the Twelfth-Order peak.

At this moment, Qingyang faced an expert who was a full major rank higher than himself and said fearlessly, "Come again."
