Chapter 280: So That’s What The Underground Devils Think Too
Pond, woods, cave.
They were all places where the Underground Devils gathered, so how could they be considered safe?
Grass plains?
Flower garden?After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Lan chose to go to a nearby swamp. There were few trees, and it wasn’t suitable for anyone to stay underground there.
There shouldn’t be any devils there.
If he didn’t find any devils, he would go elsewhere the next day.
This training was not short.
The marsh wasn’t too far away. It was closer to Kunlun and safer, but it was possible that they would return empty-handed.
However, there should be quite a number of Kunlun disciples at the beginning of the training, so he naturally had no intention of fighting for it.
It was good to rest here for a day.If the scenery was good, he could bring Xiao Yu here the next time to take a look.
After a while.
Jiang Lan stood at the edge of the swamp. There was no one around, and there were very few trees. There was only one every few meters.
It wasn’t a large area and he had a wide view of the entire swamp.
Plants grew everywhere.
It seemed like the environment was not bad, but it was a harsh area.
This was especially true for the devils that could burrow underground.
Woosh!
Jiang Lan landed on a large tree and looked around.
Observing the situation of the mountains and rivers was more or less helpful to him.
Sometimes, enlightenment came from this.
It wasn’t long before Jiang Lan spotted an Underground Devil cultivator nearby.
He had an early-stage Void Refinement cultivation base.
He frowned.
He actually met one.
It was good to have something.
However, just as he descended from the tree and stood on the grass, he suddenly discovered another Underground Devil not far away.
Mid-stage Void Refinement Realm.
There were a total of two of them. He could fight them.
He would try to get another two more before he would go back.
That was enough.
However, a third early-stage Void Refinement Realm cultivator soon appeared.
Three…
Actually, he could still fight.
Killing two mid-stage Void Refinement Realm cultivators wasn’t a problem.
It was just that the results might be too good. However, he could first look at the situation of others before considering whether he should register it.
He took out his personal disciple’s sword.
He intended to practice his swordsmanship.
Other than his Power of Nine Bulls, his swordsmanship was probably the most outstanding, although his lightning spell technique wasn’t bad either.
However, those at his surface cultivation basically used the sword. Thus, he could only focus on the sword.
Other trump cards could be left behind.
Except…
Before his sword had even left its sheath, a fourth person appeared, a late-stage Void Refinement mighty figure.
If he started to escape, he should be able to escape with his Spiritual Ape Spell.
The Kunlun main road was nearby, so they probably wouldn’t dare to chase after him.
Jiang Lan decided to withdraw his sword and take the opportunity to escape.
Early-stage Void Refinement Realm. Even with his hidden cultivation at the mid-stage Void Refinement Realm, he would still find it difficult to kill these five people.
Soon, a sixth person appeared.
“…”
Then the seventh, eighth, ninth…
Thirty-six people surrounded Jiang Lan.
He had already given up on escaping from the swamp.
He was curious. Had he been targeted?
So many people had come.
The sword was still in his hand.
“Surprised?” At this moment, a perfected Void Refinement mighty figure walked out.
The weakest among them was a mid-stage Essence Soul cultivator.
However, this lineup was already very powerful.
So many people had come.
Could they really afford to lose?
Or…
Could it be that other races had much more Essence Souls and Void Refinement cultivators compared to the humans?
Maybe.
Jiang Lan looked at the person who walked out. He was a middle-aged man with a smile on his face.
“Do you know why so many of us came?” Ying Lu looked at Jiang Lan and asked.
Jiang Lan couldn’t answer this question. Thus, he only shook his head.
He really did not know.
However, he was prepared to counterattack.
“Because we are from the Underground Devil Race,” Ying Lu said with a smile.
“Shouldn’t the Underground Devil Race like caves and such?” This was what Senior Brother Ji Jiang had told him. In theory, it shouldn’t be wrong.
“Hahaha.” Ying Lu laughed heartily. The others laughed as well.
“That’s right. Our Underground Devil Race likes the darkness of caves. It’s very safe for us to hide underground. However, as you all know, there will definitely be many people looking for such a place to besiege us.
Aren’t we waiting to be killed by you if we stay there any longer? Therefore, we chose a place close to Kunlun and a place where you people think it is unlikely for us to hide in. There will always be people who are left alone,” Ying Lu said with a smile.
As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Lan, as if to say, “You’re one such example.”
Jiang Lan: “…”
He had underestimated these people. He had to reflect on himself when he returned.
“You know that we like to stay in caves. Why are you here?” Ying Lu asked and reminded him kindly.
“To be honest, this way, we will be more ruthless. You don’t have to suffer either. ”
“I felt that this place was relatively safe and that there shouldn’t be any Underground Devils here.” Jiang Lan looked at them and spoke calmly.
It was a true thought.
He had thought that even if there were, there would only be one or two.
Who knew…
There would be so many of them.
He could not escape now.
Nor could he take this battle in and record it as his achievement.
“This is fate. Then I’ll go a little harder. I’ll kill you in one strike with my perfected Void Refinement power.” Ying Lu grinned.
Jiang Lan looked at this person. He was the friendliest person he had met in all these years.
“Since that is the case, then I will also use the most powerful strike of a perfected True Immortal, the Power Of Nine Tribulations, to send you on your way.” Jiang Lan looked at Ying Lu and said calmly.
He didn’t have any emotions, only stating a fact.
“Haha, you are a perfected True Immortal…” Ying Lu looked at Jiang Lan in surprise.
“Perfected… perfected True Immortal?”
Then, the scene in his eyes froze.
There was no pain at all.
He didn’t even know he was dead.
Red mist rose in the sky above the swamp, and red threads appeared in the water.
There were no screams, no shouts, no signs of battle.
There was only the aura of a calamity.
Footsteps began to sound in the calm swamp.
Ta!
Ta!
Slowly and orderly, the sound moved further and further away.
…
…
On a remote mountain outside Qingcheng Town, Jade Spring Mountain.
“It’s happening again.”
In the cave, a middle-aged man looked at the sand table and realized that there was a group of people formed from sand had instantly scattered.
This meant that these people had died at the same time.
The middle-aged man looked at the young man beside him.
At this moment, the young man stood there calmly, as though he was separated from space.
Miao Nian frowned and said softly.
“A battle at this level can’t bring about any feeling at the moment, but—”
He sensed his surroundings and said.
“The closer we get to Kunlun, the stranger it feels. It seems to bring many benefits to our race.”
“Then should we try to get closer?” a third person asked.
“I remember that there’s a person from Kunlun who ascended to the peak of the Stairway to Heavens. This time, we’ll have a chance to deal with him together.
I have also heard that the demons have also come for a certain purpose. Perhaps we can join forces. Furthermore, the dragons have also come. Everyone has come with their own purpose.” Fu Jie’s voice was cold.
“Jiang Lan of the Ninth Summit of Kunlun. His identity is not simple. We need to kill him at the end. And we definitely have to make a sacrifice. We shall ignore him for now.” Miao Nian looked at the sand table and continued.
“I have to figure out that strange feeling first. Perhaps it is extremely important to that lord. We need to think of a way to get close to Kunlun. If we make a fool of ourselves, it will bring about a fatal crisis.”
