Chapter 1368
The appearance of this group of special characters was even more eye-catching than the arrival of Zi Chen and the others.
Although the former was an enemy, at least he was still human. However, the group of people that came later, strictly speaking, were no longer human.
"Battle spirits, why are battle spirits here?"
"What's going on? We haven't seen battle spirits for a long time. Why are there so many of them?"
The group of people that came were all battle spirits. They were like normal humans, gathered together and walked over from afar.
Humans could obtain luck points by killing battle spirits.
At this moment, seeing a group of close to a hundred battle spirits, a commotion broke out among the human teams.
"What's going on?" Beside Zi Chen, Wu Xie and the others were also very puzzled after seeing the battle spirits.
Zi Chen looked back at the nine-storey tower and said indifferently, "They should be the same as us. They're all here to hunt for treasures."
Beside him, Man Shi blurted out, "They're here to hunt for treasures too? Isn't this a joke? They're just battle spirits. They're here to train us and provide luck points."
"What a joke. Have you forgotten about the black-robed battle spirit from before?" Zi Chen glanced at Man Shi.
Thinking about the terrifying black-robed battle spirit, Man Shi immediately shut his mouth.
At this moment, in front of the group of battle spirits, there was also a black-robed person leading them. Although he wasn't holding a sheathed saber in his hand, he didn't look like an existence to be trifled with.
"What should we do?" Ma Wei could feel the pressure from the group of battle spirits. He pursed his lips and couldn't help but ask.
"The strength of the leading battle spirit is probably at Grade 9. It's very dangerous. We don't have many people, so we can only wait and see." Zi Chen's line of sight followed the movement of the leading battle spirit.
The arrival of the battle spirits was very surprising. The small commotion in the team was quickly stopped. At this moment, everyone's thoughts were surprisingly the same. They silently acknowledged the existence of these battle spirits.
Nearly a hundred battle spirits gathered together like well-trained soldiers. After they arrived, they stood still and stared at the distorted space in front of them without glancing sideways.
Everyone was happy to be ignored by the battle spirit. Moreover, with the appearance of the battle spirit, they were even more curious about the tower within the distorted space.
"Zi Chen, look over there." Liu Wei's low voice rang in Zi Chen's ears.
Zi Chen turned around. Under Liu Wei's signal, Zi Chen saw that Burning Flame, who was supposed to be in another direction, had actually joined an unfamiliar team.
It was a group that was second only to Xue An Cheng. They were ranked sixty-eighth, and they had more than two hundred people. At that moment, Yan Fen and Ling Dong, who had recovered from his injuries, were at the front of the group, talking to the leader of the other party in a low voice.
From time to time, the other side would cast glances at them. It was obvious that both sides were harboring malicious intentions and were targeting them.
"Damn it! He must be scheming against us!" one of the cultivators from Lu Guangcheng swore.
"This group of people is really shameless. There are over 755 of them, and they actually found others to deal with us." Another person cursed.
"What are they discussing?" Wu Xie looked in that direction.
Zi Chen smiled faintly and said, "What else can they be talking about? Of course, they are discussing how to deal with us."
He Wei was puzzled. "Number sixty-eight is Miao Dongcheng. They have so many people, and their leader is definitely not an ordinary person. Why would he listen to Yanbo Castle and provoke us for no reason?"
Zi Chen snorted softly and said, "Just give them some compensation. Furthermore, Burning Flame doesn't need them to listen to him. He just needs to say that we have something that interests them."
"This group of people is really shameless."
Shangguan Hong had obviously guessed that the other party was after the Void Tree. She gritted her teeth, and anger appeared on her beautiful face.
"It's not that shameless. It's just a method."
Zi Chen shook his head and said, "You must be careful when you see Miao Dongcheng's people. When we enter here, everyone follow me closely. I want to see if they can gather a team of hundreds to besiege us."
There were forces from several cities here, and only Miao Dongcheng and Yanbo Castle were interacting with each other.
The space in front of them was distorting even more violently, and the nine-story tower was disappearing even faster. This was a sign that the tower was about to appear, and everyone's emotions were fluctuating violently.
Those who were most familiar with this place were naturally the battle spirits, so Zi Chen's attention was always on those battle spirits. Under careful observation, he found that the battle spirits, who had not moved until now, had a kind of burning passion in their eyes.
This kind of passion was like a hunter seeing his prey, or a hungry man seeing his food.
Time passed as they waited. It seemed that because they had too many people and were too confident, there was almost no communication between these forces, and they had no intention of cooperating.
Only Yanbo Castle had been very close to Miao Dongcheng's people recently. When they glanced at Zi Chen from time to time, their eyes were full of malice.
"Boom." "Boom."
Suddenly, there was a sound of energy trembling between heaven and earth. A violent force surged out of the distorted space in front of them, and this force spread out with a strong aura.
Swoosh. Swoosh.
Just as this force appeared, the battle spirits reacted. They immediately turned into streams of light and retreated into the distance.
"Let's go."
Zi Chen's perception was sharp to begin with. In addition, he had left a part of his perception to deliberately pay attention to those battle spirits, so his reaction was very timely.
As he spoke, a substantial force rushed out of his body. This force directly enveloped the group of people beside him, and then led them to retreat.
Because they trusted Zi Chen very much, they did not struggle.
On this side, Zi Chen and Zhan Ling's side had all retreated, and the leaders in the other directions had also reacted. Unfortunately, there were too many of them, and adding on the fact that their reactions were just a split second too slow, it directly led to chaos in the group.
Amidst this chaos, the violent energy in front of them spread out.
The violent energy spread out like a ripple. Wherever the ripple passed, the cultivators seemed to have been subjected to a Body Fixing Technique. Their bodies actually stopped in mid-air.
When their bodies stopped, the expressions on their faces also froze.
The ripples swept past them and went into the distance. As for the cultivators who were enveloped by the ripples, their bodies dissipated like smoke.
Not even a scream could be heard between heaven and earth. These people just turned into nothingness and disappeared.
Several forces had lost dozens of experts, and some of them were half-step Domain realms. This made them, who had retreated far away, have the urge to curse.
"Boom!"
Another tremor came from the front. The corners of everyone's mouth twitched slightly, and they reflexively dodged back.
The ground was constantly shaking like an earthquake. It seemed that the energy this time was even stronger.
While everyone was retreating far away, those battle spirits were looking ahead with excited expressions.
They saw that the distorted space in front of them had returned to normal, and a huge nine-story tower appeared in their line of sight. The tower stood between heaven and earth, but there was still spatial energy surging around it, as if it was in another void.
This spatial energy was very violent, and it turned into ripples of light that spread out in all directions.
In the middle of these ripples of light, there was a transparent safe passage that led directly to the bottom floor of the tower.
"That's." Zi Chen also noticed the passage immediately, and his expression turned serious.
However, before he could make his next move, he saw the battle spirits not far away turn into streams of light and rush toward the safe passage.
"Let's go too."
After seeing Zhan Ling's actions, Zi Chen did not hesitate. His energy wrapped around everyone as he charged forward.
Both sides were very fast, and the battle spirits were prepared in advance. Therefore, by the time Zi Chen rushed into the safe passage, the figures of the battle spirits had already gradually disappeared into the depths of the passage. Obviously, they had all entered the nine-story tower.
"Damn it, let's go quickly."
"What cunning battle spirits, what cunning brats."
"People of Hu Ping City, stop right there."
"Die."
The other cultivators who had retreated far away all reacted at that moment. When they saw the figures disappear into the passage, they became furious as well. They gnashed their teeth, itching to devour the people of Hu Ping City.
Unfortunately, no matter how they roared behind them, Zi Chen did not stop at all.
Just as the battle spirits disappeared, Zi Chen led everyone into the passage. However, as soon as they entered the passage, a powerful spatial hurricane appeared. The hurricane directly broke through the barrier of light that Zi Chen had created for everyone.
When the barrier of light shattered, Zi Chen's face suddenly changed, and he cried out, "Oh no!"
The spatial hurricane disappeared in a flash, and there was not a single person around Zi Chen anymore.
Just as the tower appeared in the outer region, the same scene appeared in the other three regions as well.
However, what was different from Zi Chen's was that in the other three areas, the direction of the spatial passageways had changed.
Some led directly to the eighth floor, while others led directly to the seventh floor. There were even some factions that saw the passage to the sixth floor open.
Obviously, the less floors there were, the less time it would take to reach the top of the first floor.
"Haha, Tongyou Tower, the people of Hidden Fog City are here!"
"Hmph, let's see if the final harvest from the opening of Tongyou Tower goes to your Shuntian City or our Destiny City."
"People of Golden Leaf City, follow me."
Voices rang out outside the nine-storey towers. Soon after, figures rushed in through the passageway.
When the cultivators entered the nine-story towers, many battle spirits also rushed in ahead of them.
These battle spirits exuded an extremely powerful aura, and some of them were even close to the seventh level.
A seventh level battle spirit was equivalent to a cultivator at the second domain realm.
"People of Hu Ping City, I'll wipe you all out this time."
Ling Dong of Yanbo Castle looked at Zi Chen's disappearing figure with a trace of murderous intent in his cold eyes.
