Special War God

Chapter 5 Cleaning up the battlefield

Seeing Lu Yuancao finally fall, Xia Zhongnan and Gu Xiuzhang on the top of the mountain both breathed a sigh of relief. When they first saw Lu Yuancao smash the 200-jin stone that fell at high speed with one palm, they were both stunned. This was far beyond Xia Zhongnan's understanding of human strength. This was the first time he truly experienced the powerful strength of a cultivator. If he said this on Earth, he would probably be regarded as a lunatic.

The two of them tried their best and did not dare to relax for a moment to throw stones at Lu Yuancao. Fortunately, they were also practitioners in the Qi Transformation Realm, so a stone weighing one or two hundred kilograms was not too heavy for them. The other practitioners of Fengqing Sect were behind and below Lu Yuancao, and were hit by the stones he shattered, becoming collateral victims.

With Lu Yuancao's death, Fengqingmen's survival became even more critical. The mountain road was extremely narrow and steep, surrounded by cliffs, and the space for them to dodge was extremely limited. With so many rocks falling down in a dense manner, they didn't even have a chance to escape. Even if they could dodge one or two with their superb skills, how many could they dodge? Three, four, or even more?

Moreover, the number of stones was far more than that. There were thirty or forty, seventy or eighty stones, falling continuously. Each stone made a whistling sound, and each one carried a breath of despair. This was simply hell on earth.

When Lu Yuancao was alive, he attracted all the attention of Xia Zhongnan and Gu Xiuzhang. Others were just affected and could not escape, and they could hide carefully. Now the two of them were purposefully "killing" the fish that escaped from the net one by one from top to bottom. They really had no chance. Even Lu Yuancao, who was at the level of transformation, was killed by the smash. How could they resist?

The Fengqing Sect team of more than 40 people, led by a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Realm, was wiped out here.

When all the Fengqingmen were defeated, Xia Zhongnan and Gu Xiuzhang also collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath. Physically they could still hold on, but mentally, they felt extremely exhausted...

After resting for a while, Xia Zhongnan stood up, cheered himself up, then pulled Gu Xiuzhang up and said, "We can't stay here for long. Let's quickly clean up the battlefield and retreat!"

Gu Xiuzhang asked: "Clean up the battlefield? What does that mean?"

Xia Zhongnan didn't have time to explain to him, and walked down the hill first. When he came to Lu Yuancao's body, he searched carefully and found a few gold leaves, a few silver coins and three small bottles. When he opened the small bottles, a fragrance came to his nose, and Xia Zhongnan said, "This should be the Ningyuan Pill, right?"

Gu Xiu Zhang, who followed him, nodded quickly and said happily: "Yes, it's Ning Yuan Dan, three bottles in total!"

Originally, they went out to find a Divine Transformation cultivator who lived on the other side of Funiu Mountain to exchange for Nengyuan Pills, but they didn't expect to find their target so easily.

After getting Gu Xiuzhang's confirmation, Xia Zhongnan was also very excited. He put away the gold leaves, silver coins and two bottles of "Ningyuan Pills", and then threw one bottle to Gu Xiuzhang, saying, "What are you doing? Clean up the battlefield!"

Gu Xiuzhan finally understood the meaning of "cleaning up the battlefield" and no longer needed Xia Zhongnan's explanation. He hurried to search for another body.

The two searched more than a dozen bodies, but apart from the Ningyuan Pill, they only found some silver coins and healing pills. At this time, Xia Zhongnan said to Gu Xiuzhang: "Don't worry about the rest, I guess there's nothing good left. Saving your life is the most important thing, let's retreat first."

After saying that, Xia Zhongnan pulled Gu Xiuzhan, who wanted to continue searching, and went down the mountain along the original route, no longer paying attention to the corpses of Fengqing Sect disciples on the roadside.

Gu Xiu Zhang asked doubtfully: "Brother Fei, aren't we going to escape? Why do we have to go back the same way?"

Xia Zhongnan explained with concern: "Although I expected that someone would chase us, I didn't expect that a beast like the demon marten would be able to track our scent. Now that we know this, we have to find a way to solve it. There is a small river in the valley under the ridge. We will wade through the water when we go back. If someone chases us and sees the battlefield ahead, they will not think that we will turn back and wade away, and no demon beast will be able to track our scent. This way it will be much safer."

Gu Xiu Zhang said admiringly: "Brother Fei, you are so awesome! If it weren't for you, I might have been caught by the Tian Feng Cult..."

Xia Zhongnan said: "Since we are brothers, let's not talk about these things anymore. I said that we are people who can trust each other and face difficulties together. If we can't share wealth and adversity together, how can we be considered brothers?"

He thought of his comrades in the special forces: Big Bear, Gray Wolf, Nightingale, Snow Leopard, Swan...

Xia Zhongnan and Gu Xiuzhang walked along the stream for more than 20 miles. As the sky darkened and the river deepened, they could only walk along the river bank. As they were about to leave the Funiushan Mountains and enter the plains, Xia Zhongnan asked Gu Xiuzhang to go ashore and said, "Let's cut some trees here to make a raft, and then we can ride the raft down the river at night."

Gu Xiu Zhang asked, "Follow the current? Wouldn't that mean we are heading east, and getting further and further away from the sect?"

Xia Zhongnan replied: "Return to the sect? Do you think Tianyi Sect can deal with those supreme sects? Let's not go back and cause trouble for them!"

Gu Xiu Zhang was surprised and said, "Ah? We haven't revealed our identities, so why would they come to the Tianyi Sect?"

Xia Zhongnan explained: "You underestimate the abilities of those big sects. I believe that soon, the news about our bounty will spread all over the country. What do you think the people in the sect will do if they find out?"

Gu Xiu Zhang said cautiously, "We are hiding in the sect, they won't betray us, right? I know you have resentment towards the sect, but there is no need to belittle them like this."

Xia Zhongnan sneered, "I'm not on guard against them, I just don't want to embarrass them. Too many people have seen us in Deqing Tower. If our portraits are circulated, even if the people of Tianyi Sect don't report it, there will always be people who know that we are from Tianyi Sect. If Tianfeng Sect comes to ask for us, can Tianyi Sect guarantee that they will not hand us over? How can they protect us?"

Xia Zhongnan's words left Gu Xiuzhang speechless for a moment. He followed Xia Zhongnan to make a raft, and after a while he asked again: "If we don't go back to Tianyi Sect, where should we go?"

He grew up in Tianyi Sect, was only 18 years old, had hardly ever been out of the house, and knew nothing about the outside world. Suddenly encountering such a thing, he was really confused.
