NOVEL NEXT Chapter 262 Life is as trivial as grass_2
Moreover, not only that, but the barbarian grandmaster also possessed remarkable cultivation, having undergone blood replacement and marrow cleansing twice. In Lin Zhan's view, Gu Chen jumping off the city wall was truly unwise.
However, Xue Ling's expression remained unchanged; he merely glanced once before withdrawing his gaze.
At the base of the city wall, upon seeing Gu Chen daring to leap down alone, a group of ferocious-looking barbarian soldiers immediately showed sinister smiles and surrounded him.
The barbarian martial arts grandmaster also sneered coldly, saying, "Seeking your own death!"
In an instant, barbarian soldiers attacked from all directions, and with a grandmaster who had undergone blood replacement twice right in front of Gu Chen, no matter how one looked at it, Gu Chen seemed to have leaped into a trap of certain death.
But in the next moment, Gu Chen's strength changed everyone's color.
"Roar!"
Accompanied by a heaven-shaking and earth-shattering dragon's roar, Gu Chen raised his hand and summoned, and immediately behind him, five azure dragon apparitions soared up, their awe-inspiring might spreading out, startling the fierce beasts ridden by many barbarian soldiers into falling to the ground. This scene caused a small-scale panic on the battlefield.
"Go!"
Gu Chen's expression was solemn, and as his arm swung, the five serpentine azure dragon apparitions charged forward.
Splurt splurt splurt splurt splurt!
In just an instant, countless blood sprays burst forth. In a single exchange, at least a hundred barbarian soldiers were crushed by the azure dragons, their blood raining down from the sky, and internal organs and limbs scattered everywhere.
"Courting death!"
Seeing Gu Chen's strength, the barbarian grandmaster's face changed. Sensing with his qi that Gu Chen only had the cultivation of the Returning to True Stage, he flashed forward, appearing before Gu Chen and slammed a palm down on him.
Gu Chen's black hair was disheveled, his body shimmering with a lustrous glow. Seeing the martial arts grandmaster attacking him, he whirled around and casually met the attack with a palm of his own.
"Hmph!"
Seeing Gu Chen dare to disdain him, the barbarian martial arts grandmaster's mouth curled into a cold smile, unafraid as he threw a punch.
"Fool."
Xue Ling on the city wall shook his head upon seeing this. He was very clear about Gu Chen's strength; even he did not dare to compete with Gu Chen in physical prowess, sincerely admiring the barbarian grandmaster's courage.
On the other side, Lin Zhan's eyes were also fixed on Gu Chen, staring intently at him.
Bang!
The next moment, the void trembled along with a scream as the barbarian martial arts grandmaster's arm that clashed with Gu Chen's exploded on the spot, the broken bones stark white, with blood incessantly dripping.
Gu Chen's physical body was now so formidable that he would not fear even a grandmaster who had undergone blood replacement four times, let alone the one in front of him who had only done it twice, allowing Gu Chen to completely overpower him.
The barbarian grandmaster also realized Gu Chen's strength and turned to flee, but Gu Chen pulverized him with just three punches.
Seeing a martial arts grandmaster perish at the hands of the barbarians, Lin Zhan's eyebrows twitched imperceptibly, but the Xuan Tie Army soldiers' faces jolted, and the Metropolitan Procurators from the Jing Tian Department like Song Yu and Wang Yan cheered loudly.
A martial arts grandmaster was extremely important for any force, let alone the barbarians, whose high-end combat power was not so plentiful, to begin with.
The barbarian general, sitting atop a variegated tiger, seeing Gu Chen blow up a grandmaster, instantly turned cold and was about to take matters into his hands personally.
At the same time, tens of thousands of barbarian soldiers also charged maniacally towards Gu Chen.
"Gu Chen, come back!" Seeing this, Xue Ling's face changed, and he called for Gu Chen to quickly return to the city wall.
But Gu Chen did not immediately return; with a gesture of his hand, the five roaming azure dragon apparitions whipped their bodies, instantly leaving hundreds more barbarian soldiers dead on the spot.
The next moment, as the barbarian general approached, Gu Chen's figure flashed and he ascended the city wall.
The barbarian general missed his target, anger bursting forth unabated. He wanted to charge up the city wall, but with Lin Zhan and Xue Ling as well as a host of Xuan Tie Army soldiers there, not to mention his exceptional strength, it was not going to be easy.
With his foray, Gu Chen had not only slain a martial arts grandmaster, relying on the Eight Desolate Azure Dragon Strength, he had also killed thousands of barbarian soldiers.
Upon his return, Gu Chen could feel that the Xuan Tie Army soldiers looked at him with full respect.
The Xuan Tie Army admired the strong, especially those like Gu Chen, who possessed both courage and strength.
The Metropolitan Procurators from the Jing Tian Department were all in awe, having not anticipated Gu Chen's current level of strength where slaying grandmasters was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.
The barbarian general was beside himself with rage, yet could do nothing to Gu Chen. At the same time, his gaze unintentionally, fiercely shot a look at Lin Zhan.
Lin Zhan frowned, but said nothing more.
Soon, a great battle came to an end just like that.
In the following period, the barbarians would attack the city almost every day. Although one martial arts grandmaster was lost, the barbarian forces still outnumbered the Xuan Tie Army. After several bouts, the barbarians suffered over ten thousand casualties, but the losses of the Xuan Tie Army were not insignificant either.
This is the harsh reality of war where every day people die; a face you had just spoken with a second ago could very well be decapitated in the next.
Initially, with Gu Chen and Xue Ling holding the fort, the barbarians suffered considerable losses, but as battles continued, the Metropolitan Procurators from the Jing Tian Department, like Song Yu and Wang Yan, grew increasingly haggard.
