Chapter 722: Blood Poison Demon Sect! _2
They hurried to the location of the "Tianqi Stone," only to find it already surrounded by a group of mysterious enemies.
These enemies wore strange clothing, exuding a powerful aura.
"They are people from the borderlands, of the Blood Poison Demon Sect."
A foreign warrior said, his voice tinged with fear.
The Blood Poison Demon Sect, a notorious cult in the borderlands, was infamous for practicing Blood Poison Magic, a cruel sorcery that not only corrupts one's will but also turns cultivators into bloodthirsty powerful beings.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged glances, knowing this was an unprecedented challenge.
"Prepare for battle!" Luo Chen shouted, and the foreign warriors quickly assumed their positions, ready to confront the invaders.
The enemies of the Blood Poison Demon Sect seemed in no rush to attack; they surrounded the location of the "Tianqi Stone," chanting as if performing some kind of ritual. Luo Chen and Qing Shuang realized they had to stop them before the ritual was completed.
"Qing Shuang, we'll split up. You go disrupt their ritual, and I'll hold them off." Luo Chen quickly decided.
Qing Shuang nodded, knowing it was the only way.
She flickered like a bolt of lightning into the enemy ranks, her sword light flickering, instantly slaying several disciples of the Blood Poison Demon Sect.
Luo Chen brandished his Longsword, charging into the enemy formation. His swordsmanship was open and grand, each strike carrying the force of thunder, forcing the disciples of the Blood Poison Demon Sect to retreat continuously.
However, the Blood Poison Demon Sect disciples seemed endless—whenever one fell, another would take his place.
Though brave, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang gradually felt overwhelmed.
At that moment, reinforcements from the foreign tribe finally arrived.
Led by their leader, they surged into the battlefield like a torrent, fighting alongside Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.
The battle intensified. Though powerful, the disciples of the Blood Poison Demon Sect were gradually suppressed by the combined forces.
Ultimately, under the leadership of Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, the attack of the Blood Poison Demon Sect was thoroughly defeated.
The ritual was sabotaged, and the Blood Poison Demon Sect disciples scattered in all directions, restoring peace to the borderlands once more.
After the battle, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were invited to the leader's tent to receive their gratitude and commendations.
"You are our heroes," the foreign leader said, "Without you, we can't imagine what might have happened."
Luo Chen shook his head, "We just did what we had to do."
Qing Shuang smiled and said, "Yes, it's what we should do, after all, it is a Demon Power."
Listening to these words, the leader's smile grew even wider.
Afterward, he approached Luo Chen enthusiastically, took his hand warmly, and said, "If you don't mind, would you stay and join our celebration ceremony?"
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged a glance, knowing that the celebration ceremony was a significant part of the foreign culture, and refusing such an invitation would be seen as impolite, possibly damaging their relationship.
Thus, Luo Chen nodded, showing his agreement.
"We are honored to participate in your celebration ceremony," Luo Chen replied.
The foreign leader was pleased to hear this, and after instructing some nearby warriors, the entire camp quickly became busy preparing for the celebration ceremony.
As night fell, bonfires flared up in the camp, the firelight illuminating everyone's faces with warmth.
The warriors of the forest sat around the bonfire, singing and dancing in celebration of this victory.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were also invited to join in, and although not familiar with the foreign dances, they did their best to integrate into the joyous atmosphere.
During the celebration ceremony, the foreign leader once again expressed his gratitude to Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, announcing their recognition as the Honored Warriors of the tribe.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang felt the sincerity and enthusiasm of the tribal people, and their hearts filled with warmth.
However, in the midst of the celebration, a scout from the tribe hurriedly ran in, interrupting the festive mood.
He whispered a report to the leader, whose expression immediately became serious.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang noticed the change, quickly stood up, and approached the leader.
"What's going on?" Luo Chen asked.
The leader sighed, "There's a new threat appearing on the other side of the border, and we need your help."
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged glances, knowing the peace at the border was far from secure.
They nodded, willing to continue assisting the tribe.
"We are ready," Qing Shuang said firmly.
The leader nodded gratefully, then quickly gathered several key warriors to discuss the strategy.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang joined the discussion, aware that this threat could be more severe than any before.
After intense deliberation, they decided to split up. Some stayed to protect the "Tianqi Stone," while Luo Chen and Qing Shuang led an elite team to scout the other side of the border.
In the darkness, the team led by Luo Chen and Qing Shuang set out once again, traversing the desolate terrain to the other side of the border.
On their journey, they remained on high alert, as no one knew what awaited them ahead.
After a night of trekking, they finally reached the other side of the border.
Here, they discovered a large enemy force assembling, preparing for an attack.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang immediately realized this was an unprecedented great battle.
"We must report back immediately," Luo Chen said.
Qing Shuang nodded, and they quickly turned around, leading the team members back to the camp.
They rushed without a moment's pause, knowing time was of the essence.
Upon returning to the camp, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang immediately reported the situation to the tribal leader.
The leader's expression turned extremely grave after hearing this.
"It seems we must go all out," the leader said.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang nodded, knowing the upcoming battle would be pivotal for the fate of the border.
The leader quickly gave orders, and the entire camp sprang into action.
Warriors began preparing weapons and strengthening defenses, enveloping the camp in a tense yet orderly atmosphere.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were not idle either; alongside the tribal warriors, they reinforced the camp's defenses, ensuring every corner was impenetrable.
They knew this was the only way to ensure their invincibility in the impending battle.
Time passed day by day, and the atmosphere at the border grew increasingly tense.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang spent almost every day training and patrolling, knowing any negligence could lead to disastrous consequences.
Finally, one morning, the enemy launched their attack.
The horn of battle echoed over the border, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang led the tribal warriors to confront wave after wave of enemies.
The battle was extraordinarily fierce, and the enemy's numbers far exceeded their expectations.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang weaved through the battlefield, their swordsmanship incredibly sharp, each swing taking the life of multiple enemies.
However, the enemy seemed endless, continuously surging forward.
Just when Luo Chen and Qing Shuang felt exhausted, the reinforcements from the tribe finally arrived.
Led by the leader, they surged onto the battlefield like a torrent, fighting alongside Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.
The battle intensified. Although strong, the enemy gradually got suppressed under the combined forces.
Ultimately, under the leadership of Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, the enemy's attack was completely crushed.
After the battle, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were invited to the leader's tent to receive their gratitude and commendations.
...
In the blink of an eye, a few more days passed.
Having stayed for several days with the border tribe, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang finally decided to leave.
After bidding farewell to the tribal leader, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang left the borderlands.
