Chapter 456: Chapter 235: Wordless Understanding... Brothers, Follow Me Up the Mountain!

The eyes that were always calm and unperturbed.

Now watching the night sky, dotted with sparse starlight, reappear after the vortex vanished.

Deep within her pupils lingered the ultimate shock and bewilderment.

As if she had not yet recovered from the terrifying scene that overturned her understanding.

Chu Kuanglan lay sprawled out among the rubble, his whole body feeling like it had fallen apart, his arms limply hanging, clearly broken.

He gasped for air, each breath pulling on the wounds in his chest and abdomen, making him grimace in pain.

Lu Jiuyuan knelt on one knee, leaning on a nearly blunted long blade, barely supporting himself from collapsing.

The deep wound on his waist and abdomen that exposed the bone had split open again, staining his tattered combat suit with fresh blood.

Lowering his head, sweat mixed with blood dripped from his chin, and the hand holding the blade trembled uncontrollably.

In his mind, the image of the Vajra Buddha being ensnared by the black net and dragged into the dark vortex like a puppet replayed repeatedly, his heart pounding, almost breaking through his chest.

Jiang Wei’s face was pale as paper, her breath extremely weak, and her red eyes dimmed significantly, as if she had expended all her strength.

She silently took out a new lollipop from her dusty little backpack, unwrapped it, put it in her mouth, her little cheeks subtly moving as she quietly sucked on it.

As if it wasn’t her who just clashed with the seven arms.

And Fang Qingyu...

Thud!

Fell from a suspended state, landing on the charred, scalding, blood-soaked ground.

The Dark Gold Dragon Scales covering his body receded rapidly like a tide, the prominent Dragon Horn on his forehead slowly retracting.

The boiling Shadow Candle Black Flame around him extinguished instantly, and the sprawling Eternal Night Territory beneath him silently dissipated.

The phantom of Shun’s Dragon Craft Arm Armor had long vanished.

He returned to his original human form.

His naked upper body was covered with crisscrossing new and old scars, his bronze skin smeared with dirty blood and scorch marks.

The Dragon Sparrow Calamity Slash was thrust beside him in the scorched earth, its blade dim, the cracks filled with Thunder Liquid also calming down. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Fang Qingyu lay on his back on the cold, shattered ground, his chest heaving violently, each breath carrying a searing pain and a metallic taste of blood.

The activation of Divine Judgment Celestial Attraction.

Had nearly emptied all his Spiritual Power and Qi and Blood Power.

The pinnacle strike of the fusion of two great systems came at a tremendous cost.

Fang Qingyu looked at the starry sky, briefly obscured by the immense body of the Vajra Buddha, now revealed again.

The starlight was faint, obscured by smoke and foul odors, hazy.

But it was the real starlight.

...

The battle... was it over?

The endless, all-consuming tide of Life Ghosts, the monumental and terrifying Vajra Buddha exuding doomsday intimidation... had they truly vanished like a dream?

Leaving only this thoroughly pulverized wasteland and five nearly exhausted and dying people.

Had they really killed a Tier Two Peak Life Ghost?!

This thought, like a thunderclap, repeatedly exploded in the exhausted, numb minds of Wei Banmeng, Chu Kuanglan, and Lu Jiuyuan, bringing waves of dizzying absurdity and... a hint of post-survival ecstasy?

However.

As the initial shock and the joy of escaping death slightly faded.

Countless questions surged like a tide, bombarding their thoughts.

What on earth was that sky-covering, sun-blocking dark vortex just now?

What were those two lifelike Dark Gold Little Dragons on Fang Qingyu’s arm?

What kind of power was that form of his, with the Dragon Horn, covered in Dragon Scales, burning with Black Flame, suspended like a ruler of darkness?!

That ability to puppet and devour thousands of Life Ghosts.

Even a Tier Two Peak couldn’t resist such horrifying power... this is definitely not something a Martial Arts Grandmaster could possess!

Puzzling doubts surfaced in their minds.

The gaze of Wei Banmeng, Chu Kuanglan, and Lu Jiuyuan briefly met in the air, following a fleeting moment of stunned bewilderment.

Deep within Wei Banmeng’s cool eyes, a trace of extremely complex emotion flashed by.

But in the end...

Fang Qingyu shook his head extremely slightly, almost imperceptibly.

Chu Kuanglan grinned with his blood-smeared mouth, seemingly about to say something, but after seeing Wei Banmeng’s eyes, and then the equally silent, flickering yet ultimately calm eyes of Lu Jiuyuan,

He swallowed hard.

Ultimately, that bit of doubt was forcibly suppressed with a burst of rough laughter.

"Hahaha! What a blast! Damn, that was exhilarating!"

Chu Kuanglan suddenly slapped his thigh, wincing in pain as the wounds were agitated, yet he continued to laugh heartily, his voice hoarse but loud, "This life of mine was worth it! Crossing two boundaries to take down a Tier Two Peak Life Ghost! Who the hell would believe that? Hahaha!"

Lu Jiuyuan, leaning on his blade, lifted his head, his pale face cracking an extremely ugly smile, his voice weak yet filled with the same bravado: "Chu Madman, if you put it like that, ... according to your calculation, then I killed too."

"Bullshit!" Chu Kuanglan wanted to wave his arm to retort, but the pain made him twitch, "Your blade at most brushed it! My punch... cough cough... was the real hard hit!"

"Without Junior Sister’s Ice Domain slowing it down, without Jiang Wei’s chain binding, without God Fang’s final... that strike," Lu Jiuyuan panted, his gaze sweeping over Wei Banmeng and Jiang Wei, finally resting on the lying Fang Qingyu, his eyes complicated, "your punch wouldn’t be qualified to even polish its toenails."

Chu Kuanglan paused, then grinned: "Fine, fine! Consider it the three of us... no! The five of us! Together took it down! Hahaha! Five Tier Twos taking down a Tier Two Peak! Does this achievement qualify to go down in history?!"

Wei Banmeng leaned against the broken wall, listening to the conversation between Chu Kuanglan and Lu Jiuyuan, her cool face showing no expression, just silently pulling out a clean cloth from her tactical waist bag, carefully and slowly wiping the Profound Qilin Double Blades that had fallen beside her.
