Chapter 291
Geng Wu fell on his back and let out a final tremble. The mountain range regained its calm. Corpses lay on the ground, and blood danced on the ground.
"Clang!"
The flying spirit weapon also lost its control at this moment. It returned to the size of a palm and fell from the sky. With a sound, it fell into a pool of blood.
The white snowflakes turned red as soon as they landed. This was a blood-stained land.
Zi Chen's body was covered in blood. A large cut had been cut open on his black clothes. The previous wound had already healed and formed a scar.
Ah Tian sat cross-legged, recovering from his injuries and refining spirit medicines one after another.
The unlucky Ah Tian was lucky today. He had met the second benefactor of his life and encountered the second opportunity of his life. He had survived a great disaster.
Zi Chen guarded beside Ah Tian.
Two hours later, Ah Tian opened his eyes. Looking at the blood-stained mountain range, he still had some lingering fear in his heart.
But in the next moment, a smile appeared on his face.
The smile seemed to be his disguise, hiding all his pain. He only revealed a smile to make others feel happy.
"Thanks, Ah Luo." Ah Tian got up. His injuries had not healed, but he could still walk. He smiled at Zi Chen.
"Ah Luo." Zi Chen frowned and looked at Ah Tian.
After breaking through to the Quintessential Element realm and transforming his Perfect Body, Zi Chen could change his aura as long as he changed his appearance. Even Flight's spiritual perception couldn't detect him, but Ah Tian was able to identify his original alias.
And at this moment, Zi Chen was using his real body.
"Heh, don't be surprised. I don't have any powerful methods. I only saw your eyes. Although you can change your appearance, you can't change your eyes." Ah Tian smiled, his smile very gentle.
"Oh." Zi Chen nodded.
"What are you doing?" Suddenly, Zi Chen looked at Ah Tian and asked.
Ah Tian bent down and took some of the black-clothed man's bags.
"There's food inside. Leave it for the road." Ah Tian raised the blood-stained bag in his hand, still smiling.
"Is there no food in your spatial ring?" Zi Chen asked.
"Uh."
Ah Tian was startled. His smile faded a little before he laughed happily, "I don't have a Spatial Spirit Ring. That kind of high-grade stuff is not something I can have."
"We shouldn't stay here for long. We should take the food and leave quickly." Ah Tian said.
Of course, Zi Chen did not let Ah Tian take the food, because he had a lot of them in his spatial ring. Moreover, before this, Zi Chen had already ransacked them, so there was nothing valuable on them.
However, Zi Chen was very confused. As the adopted son of the city lord, Tian did not have a Spatial Spirit Ring.
"Ah Luo, why are you here?"
At this moment, Zi Chen had already taken on Ah-Luo's appearance. This was also Su Long's intention, indicating that Zi Chen shouldn't appear. As for why, Su Long didn't say.
"I was cultivating in this mountain range when someone destroyed my house. After asking around, I found out that the other party was looking for you," Zi Chen said calmly.
"Thank you. You are really my benefactor." Ah Tian laughed.
"Right, why do they call you Unlucky Ah Tian? Could it be that you often have bad luck?" Zi Chen asked doubtfully.
This was also a question he had always wanted to ask.
"Since I was young, no matter what I did, it was very difficult to succeed. No matter how hard I tried, it was still the same."
"When others went up the mountain to pick herbs, they would return with a full harvest. But when I went, I would encounter a flood and a rainstorm. I would return empty-handed and almost lose my life."
"I followed some mercenaries to earn Yuan Stones. It was a path I had walked thousands of times. It was very safe. But as long as you brought me along, the mission would definitely fail."
"I've made bets since I was young, but I've never won. Even if it was raining, I bet that the sky would clear up in the next moment."
"Although there were many irresistible factors, in other people's eyes, it was all because of me. So, very few people were willing to partner with me. And I was indeed unlucky, so people called me Unlucky Ah Tian."
Ah Tian explained with a smile on his face.
Ah Tian's fate was very bumpy. He was practically always unlucky. But he had become a monster of Letian City.
In a situation where he did not have any resources, to be able to have such achievements, it was clear that hard work surpassed talent.
"It was not easy for me to live a life with resources. Who knew that people from the Geng family would come and kill foster father in one strike. Before I could even get the resources, I was hunted down by the Geng family. Moreover, it was a chase of millions of miles." A rare trace of bitterness appeared on Ah Tian's face.
"But fortunately, I got lucky again today. You are my benefactor. Although this is the second time in my life that I got lucky, you saved my life. It can be considered great luck." Ah Tian's face regained a smile.
"No."
Zi Chen shook his head and said, "You saved yourself. If it wasn't for the tenacity that you cultivated since young, not giving up and persevering until the last moment, even if I appeared, it would have been useless. So, you are your benefactor."
"You being able to live today is because of your hard work." Zi Chen also smiled.
"Is that so? Haha, according to what you said, it seems my life is not too gloomy." Ah Tian laughed happily.
"Of course it is not gloomy. Your life will be bright. Of course, before that, I will let you have some fun and be filled with hope." Zi Chen also laughed.
Zi Chen only had admiration for Ah Tian.
To be able to have such achievements without any resources, other than admiration, what else could he say? It should be known that when he did not have any resources, Zi Chen was only at the fourth Heavenly Layer of True Qi.
With a flash of light, a spatial ring appeared in Zi Chen's hand.
"This is for you." Zi Chen handed over the spatial ring to Ah Tian.
"I don't want it. It is too precious." Ah Tian waved his hand to refuse.
"It might be precious to others, but it is too much for me. It is useless."
Zi Chen laughed, "Didn't you say that I am your benefactor? Then let this benefactor be even more precious."
Ah Tian finally received the spatial ring. His hands were trembling. He was very grateful. This could be considered the most precious thing he had ever received in his life. Good luck had always accompanied him today. The spatial ring did not disappear after he received it. Everything was real.
At the same time, Ah Tian opened the spatial ring. His face suddenly changed.
"There is a spirit weapon inside!" Ah Tian exclaimed. Inside the spatial ring, a spirit weapon was quietly floating.
"That's Geng Wu's Spirit Weapon. I have my own Spirit Weapon, and its quality is very good. I don't have much use for it. Didn't you say that your life is very dark? Then I'll use it to illuminate your life, so that your future days will be filled with sunshine." Zi Chen laughed.
"Thank you."
The smile on Ah Tian's face disappeared. He was very grateful. The spatial ring in his hand was trembling. Ah Tian knew that he owed Zi Chen a great favor.
"You are too courteous. We are friends." Zi Chen laughed.
"No." Ah Tian turned his head and said seriously, "We are brothers. Brothers who have gone through life and death together."
"Going through thick and thin together, we should be brothers."
The two laughed loudly.
After Zi Chen and Ah Tian left, figures appeared in the mountain ridge. They were very strong. Streams of Zhen Yuan surrounded their bodies. The one in the lead was Le Tian City's monster, Geng Le.
They had come here to pursue the corpses.
Besides Geng Le, there was also Yu Kong.
In the mountain ridge, corpses were lying on the ground. Blood dyed the mountain ridge red. Geng Le saw his brother at a glance.
"Big Brother!" With a cry, Geng Le rushed over.
However, Geng Wu's body was already cold.
"Who? Who did this?" Geng Le roared at the sky, his voice exploding like thunder.
The others were also incomparably shocked. Dead, everyone was dead. Not a single person was left alive. Even Geng Wu, who had a spirit weapon, was dead.
Sure enough, when they came here to pursue the corpses, what they saw were still corpses.
Yu Kong swept his gaze around, looking at the traces of battle on the battlefield. Then, he looked at the wounds of the dead cultivators.
After a while, he said, "This was done by a long spear. It's very sharp. Even a sharp weapon was shattered. Its quality is not inferior to a spirit weapon."
"The wound between Geng Wu's eyebrows was pierced by a long sword. It seems to be a spirit weapon. Only a spirit weapon could kill him." Yu Kong analyzed.
"Moreover, among these people, three of them died in Ah Tian's hands. Clearly, someone was helping Ah Tian. As for their strength, it's still unknown, but it's definitely not at the Spirit Origin Realm."
"Ah Tian, I want you dead."
His angry voice traveled dozens of miles away, carrying endless resentment. After dealing with the corpses, everyone followed the footprints on the ground.
Ah Tian knew that the people of Le Tian City would not let him go, so he sped up. Moreover, Zi Chen had many good quality pills on him, so Ah Tian's injuries recovered very quickly.
"By the way, if you knew that the Geng Family wanted to kill you, why didn't you run far away? Why did you have to come to Yongqi City?" Zi Chen asked curiously.
"It was a coincidence. Of course, it could also be considered bad luck."
Ah Tian said, "I guessed that they would definitely leave, so I hid in Yongqi City. There was no problem at all. But who knew that there would be strange movements in Yongqi City that would attract many people. The Geng Family also came, so they discovered me."
"Strange movements? What strange movements?"
"I don't know either. It's said that they discovered some ruins, and there seems to be some inheritance inside. It attracted many experts, and even many monsters rushed over after hearing the news." Ah Tian said.
"Why don't I know about this?" Zi Chen asked.
"You were cultivating in seclusion in the mountains, so of course you don't know. Moreover, this news is still a secret. Not many people know about it."
Zi Chen's eyes flashed. He had actually discovered some ruins.
This made him very tempted.
Any ruins would naturally have treasures inside. Ever since he saw Liu Mingyong take out the spiked club, Zi Chen wanted to obtain that weapon.
Liu Mingyong could use the spiked club to force back Ancestor level experts, so he could use it to intimidate Yu Kong. He might even be able to kill him with one blow.
And the most likely place for such an item to appear was in ruins.
"Many powers have gone. I originally planned to go as well, but the Geng Family caught up with me."
Ah Tian said, "But fortunately, such a ruin appeared. The Geng Family's Yu Kong experts all went there. Otherwise, I would really be in trouble."
"Where is that place?" Zi Chen asked. He clearly had some ideas.
"It's north of Yongqi City. It's said that it's deep in the mountains and forests. There are many powerful demonic beasts there, and it's said that there are even Greater Demons."
"Let's go take a look."
