Warren's Rise and Fall

In the silent night, Wang Lunwo lay quietly on the couch, his eyes slightly open in the darkness, like two cold stars. The ferocious figures of the bandits kept appearing in his mind, lingering like ghosts. He was concentrating on thinking about the upcoming battle tomorrow, racking his brains to find a chance to break through the opponent's iron wall-like defense. He knew that this would be an arduous battle, but he had no intention of retreating. In his chest, there was a burning belief, that is, to completely eradicate the bandits on this land and win the long-awaited peace and tranquility for the innocent people here.

His thoughts drifted away, back to the time when he first embarked on the path of cultivating immortals. At that time, he had the original intention of "If you are poor, you should take care of yourself, and if you are rich, you should help the world." In that long and bumpy journey of cultivating immortals, he experienced countless hardships and challenges, encountered slander and difficulties from others, and faced life-and-death desperate situations. However, no matter how difficult the situation was, he never forgot his purest original intention. Now, he has made some achievements in his path of cultivating immortals, and he feels that it is time to use his strength to help those who are in distress and in need of help.

At the same time, in another room, Changsun Mingzhi was also unable to sleep. He was always concerned about his sister. He hoped to find a good home for his sister, and in his opinion, Wang Lunwo was undoubtedly a very suitable candidate. He thought to himself that maybe he should find a suitable time to have a heart-to-heart talk with Wang Lunwo about this crucial matter. He really didn't want to give up this rare opportunity easily. He was eager to get his sister out of the unfortunate engagement through his unremitting efforts. At the same time, his thoughts also drifted to the battle tomorrow. He knew the power of the Liangyi Four-Elephant Array Plate very well, but he also knew clearly that when facing a powerful enemy, it was far from enough to rely solely on magic weapons. He also needed more flexible and changeable combat strategies and tacit cooperation with each other.

In another room, although Sima Yan'er had gently closed her eyes, the figures of Changsun Mingzhi and Wang Lunwo continued to appear in her mind. She began to realize that her feelings for Wang Lunwo seemed to have undergone some subtle changes. She didn't know when this wonderful change began, but she clearly realized that her attention to Wang Lunwo was increasing day by day. She kept asking herself in her heart: "What's wrong with me? Haven't I always deeply liked Brother Changsun Mingzhi? Why does Wang Lunwo's figure appear in my mind so frequently? Is it just because his heroic figure in fighting against opponents of higher levels is too dazzling?"

As time passed slowly, the night became darker and darker. The atmosphere in the room became more and more peaceful, as if the whole world was immersed in silence. Wang Lunwo, Changsun Mingzhi and Sima Yan'er gradually fell asleep in their complicated thoughts. Their dreams were full of various fantastic scenes, including fierce battle scenes, the kind and familiar figures of relatives, and the vision and yearning for a better future.

When the first rays of sunlight in the morning came through the window and gently fell into the room, Wang Lunwo, Changsun Mingzhi and Sima Yan'er all woke up slowly. They all had a slight tiredness on their faces, but their eyes were shining with determination. They all knew clearly that a new day had arrived and a new challenge was about to begin. After a simple wash, they began to prepare to set off in an orderly manner.

When they arrived at the bandit base, the scene in front of them was just as Changsun Mingzhi had expected. The enemy's defense was impenetrable. The base was surrounded by various traps and defensive formations. The bandits were holding weapons and preparing for battle as if they were facing a great enemy. Wang Lunwo and Changsun Mingzhi smiled at each other. There was no fear in their hearts.

Wang Lunwo took the lead in launching a fierce attack. His eyes flashed with a cold light, and he shouted loudly: "Bandits, your doomsday has come." Before he finished speaking, the spiritual power in his body surged out like a surging tide, and the heavy axe in his hand flashed a dazzling light. The sharp axe energy flew towards the gate of the stronghold like an arrow from a bow, and sawdust flew all over the sky. His figure was like a ferocious cheetah, rushing towards the enemy at lightning speed.

Zhang Sun Mingzhi was not to be outdone, he quickly used the wind attribute technique. Countless wind elements quickly gathered around his body, condensing into a crystal clear wind silkworm coat on his body, which was a wind attribute defense technique he had just comprehended recently. Then, he kept casting sharp wind blades, fiercely attacking those ordinary bandits.

Sima Yan'er quietly guarded the battlefield for them. Her eyes were fixed on the battlefield, and she was fully focused and ready to help at any time. Her heart was filled with tension and worry, but she was also full of confidence in the strength of Wang Lunwo and Changsun Mingzhi.

Just when the three were invincible on the battlefield, four figures suddenly flew out from the depths of the stronghold.

One of them said with a grim look on his face: "Our leader knew you were coming a long time ago and specifically told us to wait here."

Another person also said arrogantly: "Yes, you are Wang Lunwo's gang, right? Several of our brothers have fallen into your hands before. We will not be as careless as they are. Besides, the four of us are all in the middle stage of the Condensation Realm. No matter how powerful you are, you can't fight four of us alone."

Wang Lunwo listened to their words without showing any fear on his face. Instead, he sneered and said, "It seems that you have been prepared for this. But this is exactly what I want."

A bearded bandit said viciously, "Boy, you are too confident. Although the four of us are not brothers, after so many years of getting along, the relationship between us is no less than that of brothers."

A bandit with a scar on his face continued, "Forget it, let me introduce them to you one by one. From left to right, they are Xiong Laoqi, Wan Laoliu, Liu Laowu, and finally me, Huang Laosi. The four of us have a square stick formation. I don't think it's possible for you to break through our formation."

Upon hearing this, Chang Sun Mingzhi hurriedly warned, "Brother, be careful. This kind of formation is usually practiced from the Body Refining Stage. The purpose is to achieve a combined attack effect greater than 1+1=2. It's a bit like the Seven Star Sword Formation of the Seven Star Sacred Land and the Six Intentions Formation of the Six Intentions Sect that we encountered in the secret maze that day."

After Changsun Mingzhi's reminder, Wang Lunwo roughly understood what the opponent's four-sided stick formation was. However, since he was only at the early stage of the Dragon Ridge Realm, and the other four were all at the middle stage of the Condensation Pill Realm, he knew that he could not fight four alone, so he asked Changsun Mingzhi for help without hesitation: "Brother Changsun, I really need your help this time, use the formation plate quickly."

When Wan Laoliu heard the word "array plate", he was immediately shocked and exclaimed: "What array plate!?"

Xiong Laoqi also looked confused and said bewilderedly: "The brothers who escaped before didn't say there were any formation plates or anything like that."

Liu Laowu gritted his teeth and said, "The arrow is on the string now and we have to shoot it."

So although the four of them paused slightly, they quickly continued to pounce on Wang Lunwo.

Wang Lunwo urged anxiously, "Brother Changsun, hurry up." He had experienced this in the previous secret maze. If he and his opponent were not both in the Body Refining Stage, he would have died long ago. Now, facing the formation of a master in the middle stage of the Condensation Dan Realm who was one Qi Ji Stage higher than him, he had no confidence at all.

When Changsun Mingzhi heard Wang Lunwo's urging, he immediately took out the Liangyi Four-Elephants Formation Plate from his storage bag and quickly started to activate it. The four phantoms of the monster beasts on the four corners of the formation plate flew out from the formation plate like lightning, and flew directly towards the four big bandits who had already formed a four-sided stick formation.

Huang Laosi was horrified and shouted, "What is this?" But it was too late. He was dragged directly into the formation by the phantom of the monster.

Liu Laowu, Wan Laoliu, and Xiong Laoqi followed suit. After all, the Liangyi Four Symbols Array could contain cultivators at the Evolutionary God Realm, so the cultivation level of the middle stage of the Condensation Pill Realm was not a concern at all.

This stunned the ordinary bandits who were watching the battle nearby. They had never seen such a powerful magic weapon.

A hint of coldness flashed across Wang Lunwo's face, and he said, "Brother Changsun, your Yin-Yang and Four-Elephant Array has been exposed this time. I'm afraid you can't leave anyone alive."

Changsun Mingzhi nodded and said, "Yes, I know. Yan'er, you can also help kill the ordinary bandits."

Upon hearing this, Sima Yan'er immediately took out her weapon and joined the battle. Her figure was like a dancing butterfly, moving freely among the crowd, and wherever she went, blood flowed like a river.

The three did not hold back at all this time, and did not even let go of the bandits who tried to escape. Because Wang Lunwo knew that if he let even one person escape, the news of the Liang Yi Si Xiang array would be leaked out, which would be a huge hidden danger for the last few of the remaining twelve bandits in the future, and it would be a serious threat to Changsun Mingzhi's safety in the world of immortal cultivation in the future, so he did not hesitate at all.

Changsun Mingzhi obviously understood Wang Lunwo's intention, and the wind blade in his hand never stopped. Although Sima Yan'er didn't know why the two were so murderous this time, she knew that they must have their reasons for doing so, so she also worked hard to kill those ordinary bandits. After all, which of these bandits didn't have the blood of innocent people on their hands?

As time passed slowly, the three of them, after nearly an hour of slaughter, finally killed all the more than 200 bandits in the stronghold. The battlefield was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the bodies of the bandits were lying on the ground in all directions.

Wang Lunwo took a deep breath, and his eyes swept across the battlefield, his heart filled with emotion. Although this battle was cruel, they had no choice for the sake of the people on this land.

Zhang Sunmingzhi quietly put away the Liang Yi Si Xiang formation disc, and he also had a little worry in his heart. After all, the exposure of the formation disc might bring him some unnecessary trouble.

Sima Yan'er stood aside, her face a little pale, after all, this was her first time participating in such a bloody massacre. But she also knew that in this world of cultivating immortals, cruelty was sometimes inevitable.

Wang Lunwo turned around, looked at Changsun Mingzhi and Sima Yan'er, and said, "Although we won this battle, it was almost entirely due to Brother Changsun's Two Yin and Four Symbols Formation Plate. I'm afraid we can't take it lightly. There are only three left of the Twelve Bandits waiting for us. Of those three, Sikong Xiangnan must be a perfect cultivator of the Condensation Pill Realm. Even if the remaining two are not perfect cultivators of the Condensation Pill Realm, they must be in the late Condensation Pill Realm. I'm worried about the safety of you two, Brother Changsun and Miss Sima Yan'er, next time. The three of them will definitely gather together next time."

Zhang Sun Mingzhi said calmly, "Then we have to wait for the Liang Yi Si Xiang formation to be completed. After we have wiped out these four bandits, we can go find them later."

Sima Yan'er also agreed, "Let's just recuperate for a while."

After communicating with the spirit of the formation disk, Chang Sun Mingzhi said to Wang Lunwo, "It will take seven days, because this time the physical body is sucked into the formation disk together, and last time it only absorbed a few evil souls. So, my dear brother, let's set off again in seven days."

Wang Lunwo thought about it and accepted Changsun Mingzhi's proposal. After all, he was not sure of defeating a cultivator who had reached the Perfection of the Condensing Dan Realm, not to mention that he had to ensure the safety of Changsun Mingzhi and Sima Yan'er. After the three of them had discussed it, they began to head back to the village.
