Transmigration and Self-Saving Cultivation

Chapter 23: The Battle for the Treasure.

Jun Luochuan and his companions, laden with the treasure they had painstakingly discovered in the cave, embarked on their return journey with hearts full of joy, resembling fishermen returning with a bountiful catch, their faces beaming with the satisfaction of a bountiful harvest. However, their movements, like lights in the dark, were keenly observed by another group with ulterior motives. The leader of this group was a cultivator named Lin Feng, a cunning and ruthless man, like a cunning fox, willing to use any means necessary to achieve his goals, with no moral compass whatsoever.

"Boss, it seems there's a group of people ahead who have acquired quite a few rare treasures." One of Lin Feng's underlings, with a pointed face and monkey-like features, said with gleaming eyes, his greedy gaze seeming to devour everything.

A glint of wolfish greed flashed in Lin Feng's eyes: "Hmph, in this vast world, treasures have always been the property of the strong. Follow them, we can't let them get away so easily!"

On Jun Luochuan's side, Su Yao, like a cheerful little bird, excitedly fiddled with the dazzling treasure in her hands, chattering incessantly: "Jun Luochuan, we've really struck it rich this time!"

Jun Luochuan frowned, looking wary, like a cheetah that had caught a whiff of danger: "Don't be too happy yet. Fortune and misfortune are always intertwined in this world. Be careful that joy doesn't turn into sorrow and unexpected changes may occur."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Feng's team, like vicious wolves, blocked their path.

"Hand over the treasure obediently, and maybe we can spare the lives of you ants!" Lin Feng shouted arrogantly, his voice like a piercing thunderclap, making people tremble.

Jun Luochuan sneered, his smile as cold as frost in winter, full of disdain: "You bunch of rabble? You dare to covet the treasure we earned with our blood and sweat? You're just dreaming!"

"You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences! Brothers, charge! Let them see what we're made of!" Lin Feng shouted angrily, and his team members charged forward like a tidal wave, seemingly intent on engulfing Jun Luochuan and the others.

A thrilling and intense battle instantly unfolded. Jun Luochuan moved with the unpredictability of a ghost, his sword flashing with impenetrable speed, like a dazzling silver whirlwind, instantly routing several enemies who were left in a sorry state.

Su Yao was not to be outdone. She unleashed her magic, and beams of light shot out like dazzling fireworks, heading straight for the enemy's face.

"This little brat actually has some skills!" Lin Feng said through gritted teeth, his expression as bitter as if he had swallowed a bitter pill.

While charging left and right through the enemy lines, fighting bravely, Jun Luochuan observed the situation with his sharp, hawk-like eyes. He quickly discovered that although Lin Feng's team was numerous and seemed menacing, it was actually like a disorganized mess, full of flaws in coordination and completely lacking in teamwork.

"Concentrate your firepower and attack their fatal weaknesses!" Jun Luochuan shouted in a booming voice, his voice filled with authority and power.

Upon hearing the order, the team members immediately understood and quickly changed tactics. Like sharp knives, they pierced the enemy's weak points, causing Lin Feng's team to flee in disarray and retreat in defeat.

Seeing this, Lin Feng felt a raging fire burning in his heart, and he was furious: "Give it your all! Anyone who dares to back down will be in for a beating when we get back!"

However, Jun Luochuan's troops fought with increasing ferocity and high morale, gradually gaining an overwhelming advantage, like a blazing sun, radiating brilliance that the enemy could hardly withstand.

"Boss, it's no good! They're unstoppable, too strong!" one of Lin Feng's underlings cried out, his despairing expression as if the end of the world had come.

Lin Feng's face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm: "Retreat! As long as we're alive, we can always rebuild!"

Jun Luochuan was not about to let these villains who were trying to steal the treasure get away easily: "Trying to run? Not so easy! Since you dared to provoke us today, don't even think about leaving unscathed!"

He led his team in relentless pursuit like vengeful lions, plunging Lin Feng's group into chaos as they scattered like ants on a hot plate.

Just then, another team appeared silently like ghosts. The leader of this team was a woman named Zhao Xue. She was beautiful and charming, like a blooming rose, but she was cunning and scheming, like a deep, ancient well.

"Stop fighting. This pointless arguing will only result in mutual destruction. Why don't we calmly discuss a reasonable way to divide the spoils? Wouldn't that be a win-win situation?" Zhao Xue said sweetly, her voice as melodious as a nightingale's song, yet full of hidden meaning.

Jun Luochuan's gaze was sharp as he looked at her coldly: "Do you think we would easily believe your sweetest lies?"

Zhao Xue smiled slightly, a hint of cunning in her smile: "Do you really think you can handle the combined attack of our two teams at the same time?"

Su Yao gently tugged at Jun Luochuan's sleeve and said timidly, "Why don't we listen to what she has to say? What if she has a compromise?"

Jun Luochuan pondered for a moment, quickly weighing the pros and cons in his mind: "Alright, then tell me about it."

Zhao Xue cleared her throat and said, "Let's distribute the treasure fairly according to our respective strengths and contributions in this competition. This way, we can avoid unnecessary casualties and ensure that everyone benefits. Why not?"

Jun Luochuan snorted coldly, his voice like a biting wind in a snowy landscape: "Do you think you have the right to compare yourself to us with your meager strength?"

Zhao Xue's expression changed instantly, like a flower struck by frost: "Then, in your opinion, what should be done?"

Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, and the atmosphere was as tense as a fully drawn bowstring, Lin Feng's team suddenly launched a despicable and shameless attack.

"Despicable scoundrel!" Jun Luochuan roared in uncontrollable rage, his furious voice seeming to shatter the heavens and earth.

Zhao Xue's team was also drawn into the battle by this sudden turn of events, and the scene immediately became even more chaotic, like a raging, turbulent sea, making it difficult to predict.

Despite the danger, Jun Luochuan remained calm and composed, directing his team to deal with the fierce attacks from both sides. However, his mind was racing, like a machine running at high speed, as he secretly pondered countermeasures.

"This chaotic situation cannot continue; we must find a way to defeat them one by one in order to turn the tide," Jun Luochuan thought anxiously.

He whispered to Su Yao, "You lead a group of men to hold Zhao Xue's team back, while I go and quickly deal with Lin Feng and his gang of villains."

Su Yao nodded firmly: "Okay, you must be careful."

Jun Luochuan charged towards Lin Feng with the force of a thunderbolt, like a tiger descending a mountain. Lin Feng was intimidated by his domineering aura and retreated repeatedly, like a dog with its tail between its legs.

"You will not escape today!" Jun Luochuan roared angrily, his eyes wide with fury.

Lin Feng fought desperately, using all his skills, but in the end he was no match for Jun Luochuan's might and was beaten so badly that he fell to the ground in a sorry state.

After dealing with Lin Feng, Jun Luochuan immediately returned to support Su Yao.

With their concerted efforts and hard work, Zhao Xue's team gradually became overwhelmed and unable to keep up.

"We surrender, the treasure is yours, just spare our lives!" Zhao Xue shouted hoarsely, her voice filled with helplessness and despair.

Jun Luochuan looked at her with disdain: "Wouldn't it have been better if you had known this earlier?"

Just as they were preparing to pack up their treasure and leave this dangerous place, unexpected new situations arose one after another...
