Chapter 88: The Glory of the Duanjin Clan

  "Bring out your blades and come at me like men! No quarter asked or given! You should know that this melee will never stop until one side is completely slaughtered!", Helianuo raised the long knife in his hand, pointing it at the last few survivors of Gui Lianyu.

  Perhaps it was Helian's cold words that extinguished their last glimmer of hope. The few remaining ghostly warriors exchanged a glance, then simultaneously let out a loud roar and raised their blades to strike at Helian's head.

  Although the previous stormy wind and lightning slash had consumed a lot of Helian's soul power, fortunately, the first three changes of Tianxuanjiu had transformed all his internal organs into containers for storing soul power. Moreover, Xuanlei's soul power was extremely pure, so Helian was not completely deprived of his combat strength. Seeing the last few members of Gui Lianyu rushing towards him with loud shouts, Helian sneered and laughed, thinking that such a cowardly and timid person was not worthy of his attention!

  The Qian Huan Gongzi on the viewing platform closed his eyes in pain, knowing that although the battle on the field seemed to be continuing, unless a miracle occurred, the defeat of Gui Lian Yu was already inevitable. To be honest, he had already raised his evaluation of Xue Lian Yu as much as possible, but now he found that he still underestimated them. Qian Huan Gongzi never thought that Sha Zu's Wan Ren Zhi Lin would be blocked by Luo Tian, nor did he expect that Xue Lian Yu would have two soul masters who could cast large-scale killing soul techniques. In this struggle, even a small mistake was fatal. Unfortunately, Qian Huan Gongzi's mistakes were not just one.

  He shouldn't have overestimated the strength of the minority leader, nor should he have underestimated Helian Duo. This defeat was not accidental, but inevitable!

  As expected, those few timid guys were soon finished off by Helianuo. He took off the red long gown that had been soaked in blood on his body, carefully wiped the blood stains on the horse-killing knife clean, and then slowly walked to the back of the Blood Refining Hell, gently lifted up Luo Tian who was sitting on the ground resting, and supported him as they walked towards the direction where the tribal chief was.

  That minority leader lay on the ground with a haggard face, his hair had turned white after using the secret technique of Wan Ren's Forest to sacrifice his life, and now it was stained red with blood. He struggled to lift his head and looked at Helian Nuo and Sang Xiao who were supporting each other and walking towards him, their faces becoming more and more pale.

  At last, the weak Luo Tian finally walked to the front of the young tribal leader. He took over the sharp horse-cutting knife that Helian Nu had wiped clean and used the tip of the knife to lift up the tribal leader's scattered hair. With a faint smile, he said: "My young tribal leader, you really have become skilled! The records on the white paper with black ink in our tribe's rules clearly state that the protective secret technique can only be used when the tribe is facing an extremely urgent life-or-death crisis. I didn't expect that today, as the future heir to the tribal leadership, you would use this protective secret technique on me, a senior elder!" Luo Tian grew more and more agitated as he spoke, until his arm couldn't help but tremble. The sharp knife tip easily sliced through the young tribal leader's face, leaving a bright red trail of blood that flowed slowly down his cheek and into his mouth.

  The young patriarch licked the blood that had flowed to the corner of his mouth and suddenly smiled, saying: "Young Patriarch? Hmph, it's only now that Luo Changlao is willing to acknowledge me as the Young Patriarch? How ironic! Back when I was living in seclusion with the Duanjin clan, I longed to hear you elders call me 'Young Patriarch', but you all looked down on me for my low cultivation level, poor conduct, and unscrupulous heart. Not until the day Father banished me from home did you ever address me as 'Young Patriarch'. But now that we're both prisoners in this Blood Refining Tower, you're suddenly calling me 'Young Patriarch' left and right! And to think you're even pointing a knife at my throat and addressing me as such! Hmph, Luo Tian, don't be too smug. True, I lost to you today, and you can kill me if you want. But what about you? Aren't you still stuck in this Blood Refining Hell, struggling to survive day after day? Do you think just because they call you 'Old Master' that you're really the boss? Let me tell you, in the eyes of those spectators, we're all nothing but pigs! We're all filthy, stinking pigs waiting for death!" The young patriarch's face turned bright red, clearly unwilling to accept his fate.

  He Lianuo slowly lowered his head, although he didn't understand the pain of the Shaozu leader, but he could hear a hint of resentment and struggle in the Shaozu leader's words. He understood that the original Shaozu leader still hoped to gain everyone's recognition, but others' repeated disregard had twisted the Shaozu leader's mind. Who was right or wrong was really hard to say.

  The young patriarch's face turned red with rage as he struggled to stand up, leaning on a long spear and slowly moving in front of Luo Tian. He stared into Luo Tian's eyes and sneered: "Luo elder, it's still the same old story. I know you've always looked down on me, but have I ever looked up to you? Not just you, even my own father, the patriarch, is the same. You're all a bunch of outdated fossils, with only Helian in your minds. Your entire lives are dedicated to Helian. What was the result? Didn't Helian Wudi abandon you five major clans and leave on his own? For hundreds of years! Hundreds of years have passed, and you've been searching for the legendary Helian fire seed that can lead you to revival. How foolish! In my eyes, what's Helian, what's dignity? It's all just dog shit!" The young patriarch shouted loudly, spitting on Luo Tian's face.

  Unexpectedly, Luo Tian, who would have exploded in anger upon hearing someone insult He Lian, simply wiped away the saliva on his face with a calm expression. He looked at the young tribal leader's resentful face and finally spoke up: "Young Tribal Leader, perhaps we were wrong back then. Our old guys should have been stricter on you! If we had been more ruthless towards you in the past, maybe you wouldn't be like this now! Loyalty to He Lian might be a joke to you, but for me and your father, it's an honor worth protecting with our lives!" After a pause, Luo Tian gently pushed He Lian Nu towards the young tribal leader and lowered his voice: "Young Tribal Leader, since you're destined to die soon, I'll share some secrets with you. Honestly, I never planned on surviving in the Blood Refining Hell. When we go up on stage to receive the award later, I'll create chaos and escape!"

  The clan leader's pupils suddenly enlarged when he heard the words, and it was clear that in his opinion, Luo Tian's plan was simply too crazy! To know that the Blood Refining Tower had a history of several decades, and the number of pigs that died here was probably tens of millions, but no one had ever heard of anyone escaping from here!

  It seems that he was afraid of shouting out bad things, Luo Tian stretched out his right hand and firmly covered the mouth of the young patriarch of the Shao tribe. Seeing that the other party did not struggle, Luo Tian nodded in satisfaction and pointed to He Lianuo: "You must think I'm crazy, giving up a life that can barely survive, but instead going to find death. I tell you, I am crazy, not just me, our Duan Jin clan will also go crazy with us. The prestige of the He Lian Five Departments will soon be rekindled on the Youyue Continent, because we have already found the main bone. The person standing in front of you is the one who has been searching for hundreds of years and possesses the complete Tianlang Sacred Seal. He is the fire seed of our revival of the He Lian clan!" By the end of his speech, Luo Tian's tone became excited, obviously, these words had been hidden in his heart for too long.

  The tribal leader turned his head in surprise and looked at Helianuo, who seemed to be cooperating with him. He lowered his body, covered the gaze of the crowd on the platform with his clothes, and exposed the Tianlang Sacred Seal on his chest.

  "Indeed, indeed it's true, the perfect Heavenly Wolf Sacred Mark! I didn't think your dreams could actually come true, hmm, but as for me, it seems I've already been excluded from this dream...!" The young tribe leader's expression suddenly became disheartened.

  "Don't worry, on the day when the Heliang clan is revived, I'll have someone burn some paper money for you. Now, let me help your father clean up the door for the Duanjin clan!" Luo Tian's long knife suddenly thrust forward, deeply stabbing into the chest of the young patriarch!

  Up to now, all 500 strong men of Gui Lian's army have been defeated!

  Qian Huan Gongzi slumped onto the chair, his face unable to conceal a look of despair. He wasn't unprepared for failure, but he hadn't expected this defeat in the beast-fighting arena to be so thorough. Three rounds of pig fighting, one round of beast fighting, and an additional round of group fighting - his Ghost Refining Hell had not won a single match. This time, not only would they have to pay out a huge sum of betting money, but the reputation of the Qian Huan family would likely also suffer a severe blow!

  Looking at the Blood Refining Hell, Ling Xiao was overjoyed, he stood up with a pleased expression, happily accepting the congratulations from the surrounding crowd. For him, although this beast fight did not achieve the goal of eliminating Sang Xiao and others, it brought him huge profits. Most importantly, this victory will inevitably leave a good impression on the elder of the Zhang family, which is of great significance for the future development of Xingchen City!

  She seemed to be completely unaffected by her husband's defeat, and Lan Youzhu walked to the center of the arena with a smile. Perhaps it was because she had seen too many bloody scenes in the past few days, but at this moment, standing among the many corpses, her face didn't change at all. She smiled slightly towards the direction of the Zhang family's elders and said: "Alright, the thrilling and intense group battle has finally come to an end! The Blood Refining Tower is still the winner! According to tradition, in order to commend the surviving pigs for their outstanding performance on the field, the Blood Refining Tower will allow them to receive awards. Next, we will give the remaining living pigs some time to tidy up, and four hours later, the award ceremony will officially begin!"

  "Shall we begin?" Helianuo gently stroked the Tianlang dagger inserted at his waist, and his whole body's blood suddenly boiled up!
