Chapter 270 Rest and Recuperation
Hearing Wu Chuan's words, Lu Hao didn't continue pursuing the retreating seventh-rank warriors. Chasing them might lead to an ambush. Anyway, he had already killed six seventh-rank warriors, enough kill points to break through to the eighth rank. He had completely achieved his goal. His next step was to muddy the waters and minimize the number of human warriors killed. So he turned and charged towards the mid-rank battlefield. Mid-rank warriors were now easily defeated with a single strike for Lu Hao; he didn't need to think about his attack, he could just relentlessly charge in. Even those with merged essence and blood were just a matter of one strike for him.
There is no need to use the power of heaven and earth.
This strike combines divine weaponry and spiritual power into one; what can you use to block it?
This strike consumes 15,000 calories of vital energy; with your essence and blood combined, what can you possibly use to block it?
This attack cost 100,000 kill points to upgrade, what are you going to use to block it?
The middle-grade battlefield was originally only held up by a few sixth-grade martial artists, but after Lu Hao and several other grandmasters arrived, the situation was immediately reversed.
Lu Hao also saw Qin Fengqing and Wang Jinyang. Both of them were in bad shape. One of them was restrained by a being whose essence and blood were intertwined. Their bodies were tattered, but neither of them had any serious injuries. Overall, they were still okay.
It's possible that the two of them were young and killed a sixth-rank official right from the start, which is why they attracted the attention of the Essence and Blood Union.
Lu Hao went over and, with just one sword, finished off the enemy's combined essence and blood.
Qin Fengqing and Wang Jinyang, panting heavily, gave Lu Hao a thumbs up. Lu Hao was really strong; they could barely resist the fusion of essence and blood, but for Lu Hao, it was just a matter of one strike.
Soon, the high-grade and some mid-grade soldiers from the underground caves withdrew. As for the lower three-grade soldiers, they were just cannon fodder here and were easily dealt with by Lu Hao and his group.
The group then cleaned up the battlefield and collected the bodies of their fallen comrades.
Thirty people were eliminated in this battle, but only 17 remain on the field.
One Grandmaster died, as did the principal of Nanwu School. The Sixth Rank suffered the most losses, with ten dying. Fang Ping escaped with Li Changsheng, and their current situation is unknown. The results of this great battle were glorious: one Eighth Rank, six Seventh Ranks, more than twenty Sixth Ranks, and countless others were killed.
Lu Hao glanced at the situation of the seventh-rank warriors he had killed. None of them had brought anything valuable with them. Their most valuable possessions were their weapons, which were made of A-grade alloy. As for the rest, these underground warriors would never have brought them out to fight.
Turning around, I saw Wang Jinyang there, silently mourning over a corpse.
Lu Hao slowly walked over. The corpse was completely unrecognizable, with only some skeletons remaining, but it could be determined that it belonged to a seventh-rank expert.
The only one who died at the seventh rank was Principal Chen Jinzhong of Nanjiang. "Old Wang, the deceased is gone, we still have to move forward. Principal Chen certainly wouldn't want you to be so dejected. Principal Chen is gone, and you still have to support the entire Nanwu." Lu Hao said, looking at Principal Chen's remains.
"I know, don't worry, it won't happen. Old Lu, I need to ask you for a favor, can you do me a favor?"
After a moment of silence, Wang Jinyang spoke.
"Tell me, and I'll definitely help you."
"We've only temporarily repelled the underground warriors; we don't know when they'll attack again. Principal Chen's body can't just stay here. Could you put it in your storage space and give it to Nanjiang when we get back?"
Wang Jinyang spoke slowly. He knew this request was a bit excessive, since it involved storing a corpse in the storage space, but he still said it. He couldn't just stand by and watch Principal Chen be exposed in the wilderness.
"Okay, no problem, this is just a small matter, no problem at all." Lu Hao immediately agreed, as it might be troublesome for others.
But for Lu Hao, it wasn't a problem at all. His storage space was so big that he didn't even know how big it was. It was just a pity that he couldn't put living things in it now. Otherwise, it would be perfect if he could put the entire country of China in it.
"Lu Hao, thank you," Wang Jinyang said solemnly, almost in tears.
"Don't do that. We're brothers who've been through thick and thin together. If Qin Fengqing sees that guy, he'll scold me."
Lu Hao quickly patted Wang Jinyang and said, he was really afraid that Wang Jinyang would suddenly start crying, and he wouldn't know how to handle it then.
Under Wang Jinyang's gaze, Lu Hao directly put away Principal Chen's household registration document.
Qin Fengqing, who was cleaning up the battlefield, also came over. "Didn't everyone say that the newly opened dungeons are full of treasures? We've killed so many dungeon warriors and haven't seen anything of value."
As soon as Qin Fengqing arrived, she began to grumble and complain.
"Do you think those underground warriors are stupid? They come out to fight with their own treasures. Are they afraid of not dying fast enough?"
Lu Hao said.
Qin Fengqing smacked her lips and said, "Alright, Lu Hao, did you see what Teacher Li did? Teacher Li is really amazing! He defeated an eighth-rank official with a single sword strike!"
"Teacher Li—after that sword strike, he was practically on the verge of death, and then Fang Ping pulled him away—"
Lu Hao said that he could only hope that Fang Ping wouldn't cause any trouble, and that he could take Teacher Li to the Essence of Life for a bath so that Teacher Li could be reborn.
"Lu Hao, is there any possibility of Teacher Li recovering?" Qin Fengqing asked. After all, he had received a lot of kindness from Old Man Li in the past, so he was still very concerned about Li Changsheng.
"It depends on the situation. If Fang Ping is quick-witted, the underground cave will definitely use life essence to heal the wounded after the battle. If Fang Ping can snatch ten or eight jin of Li Laoshi's essence, he will be completely unharmed. He might even be able to rebuild without breaking the old. Otherwise, there's no way out, since Li Laoshi's sword strike absorbed everything he had."
Lu Hao said, and at the same time he also thought that Li Changsheng's choice of the path of unifying all paths might be closely related to this sword. It should be said that it was the power of this sword that allowed him to see the future and choose the path of unifying all paths. Otherwise, it would have been too slow for him to improve by slowly walking the path of origin.
The Unity of All Paths can be continuously improved as long as there are enough resources, and its combat power is also extremely impressive.
"Well, I hope so. I can only say that Teacher Li's sword strike today has shocked countless people," Qin Fengqing sighed from the side.
A sixth-rank official slaying an eighth-rank official—unprecedented and unlikely to be repeated.
After cleaning up the battlefield, everyone waited at the entrance of the passage. The best-case scenario was that the people in the underground caves would back down and stop sending people to attack, in which case they could establish a stronghold here. But more likely, they would regroup and attack again.
Therefore, everyone is recovering quickly within this limited time, waiting for the next major battle to break out.
