The two of them fiercely fought, and with a poof, the young man in the 6th level of the Heaven realm was sent flying by the young man called Luo Wei. Blood sprayed out of his mouth as he flew back. In only an instant, the young man was already injured.
The crowd made an uproar. They did admire the strength of the young man called Luo Wei because Luo Wei's strength should be in the 7th level of the Heaven realm, the same level as Lady Ji. They were both young experts, people who could directly join the Netherworld Army.
With one move, Luo Wei defeated a cultivator of the sixth Tian Qi layer, proving his strength.
"Does this mean that I can come in? With my strength of the seventh level of the Heaven realm, I deserve to be a guard." Luo Wei turned his head around, looked at Lady Ji and said.
Miss Ji waved her hand and said indifferently, "My rule is first come, first served. It doesn't matter if you're strong or not. You can go. Leave some medicinal pellets to heal my guard."
The crowd hadn't thought that Miss Ji would refuse Luo Wei. That didn't make sense …
The only thing they could be sure of was that Miss Ji was from a powerful force in the Specter City. She had probably seen many young experts like Luo Wei, so she wasn't surprised.
"Well, you said we're full, but I don't think we're full yet."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly turned around and charged towards the young man he had defeated earlier. An aquamarine spear pierced out from his hand. This young man was actually a Sword Martialist.
That dark green spear was very similar to Long Chen's Three Thousand Star Field. The energy it contained was also very similar. It was probably a high Emperor level weapon.
The dark green spear rushed forward like a ray of death, instantly piercing towards the young man. In the blink of an eye, it was already in front of the young man.
Seeing that, the crowd cried out in surprise again.
Luo Wei was very decisive. Before, he had only attacked the young man, but now, he had killed him. That was the only way he could enter the group.
The young man who had been killed had a look of despair in his eyes.
At this moment, another long spear collided with Luo Wei's spear tip. Although the force behind it wasn't great, Luo Wei's spear tip deviated due to his precise control. It brushed past the young man's ear, nearly stabbing him to death. Luo Wei's spear tip was a little too late.
When the young man saw that someone was trying to save him, he, who had been scared witless, burst out with all his strength and rolled on the ground, finally escaping from the crisis of death.
"Who?"
Luo Wei's killing intent was foiled, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. His long spear swept out, and a dark green spear aura burst out. However, his target was already far away.
Everyone's gazes landed on the person who had saved the young man.
This person was standing next to the young man, putting away a spear. It was Long Chen.
When they saw Long Chen's appearance, the crowd felt a bit sluggish. No matter how they thought about it, they would never have thought that the person who saved them would actually be Long Chen. Wasn't Long Chen the young man in the 4th level of the Heaven realm before?
When the two spears collided, sparks instantly appeared.
"You can leave." Long Chen looked at Luo Wei, who had a cold look in his eyes, and waved his hand as he spoke to the young man he had saved.
"You …" The young man's eyes were filled with gratefulness. Before, he had insulted Long Chen, but this time, it was Long Chen who saved him. That huge contrast made him feel very conflicted in his heart. Long Chen was merely in the fourth level of the Heaven realm. In a situation where other people didn't have the courage or strength to save him, he actually came to save him. He actually saved him …
"If you don't want to die, leave," said Long Chen, glancing at him again.
If the young man didn't leave, Luo Wei definitely wouldn't let him go.
"Thank you very much. I'll repay you if fate allows it."
A wise man submits to circumstances. Long Chen had the courage to save him, he had the strength to save him, so he definitely had a way to deal with it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have done this for a stranger. When he saw Luo Wei's ferocious expression, he immediately pushed the crowd away and left.
After the young man left, Long Chen didn't say anything and returned to the group. At that moment, the people in the group were looking at him with astonished expressions.
From Long Chen's courage and reaction speed, his strength was definitely not merely in the 4th level of the Heaven realm.
Miss Ji also looked at Long Chen a few more times and her face was filled with a smile.
"This kid has a very strong aura. I feel that his strength is definitely not only in the 4th level of the Heaven realm. I didn't think it would be like that, and his courage is also extraordinary," thought Miss Ji.
At that moment, Luo Wei put away his dark green spear and walked to Long Chen's side. He looked at Miss Ji and asked, "How is it now?"
"One left, one came. Just enough people. Alright, ten of you. Gather at the western gate tomorrow morning. I'll wait for you there."
After saying that, Miss Ji turned around and left.
"You're a sword cultivator?" asked the young man called Luo Wei in a low voice as he walked next to Long Chen.
"Yes, why?"
Although Long Chen had slapped that guy's face, he hadn't directly attacked Long Chen because he had seen that Long Chen wasn't an ordinary person.
"I also use a spear. This journey will take two months. When the time comes, let's have a spar. Speaking of which, your spear is really not bad."
After saying that, he quickened his pace and quickly disappeared from Long Chen's sight.
"Brother, what's your name? We're going to stay together for two months. Let's go out and have a drink. What do you think?" suggested one of the remaining eight.
Before, they had looked down on Long Chen, but when Long Chen had decisively saved that young man, they all admired Long Chen a lot.
Thus, his question was directed at Long Chen. Previously, the few of them had already decided to go out for a drink.
Long Chen didn't have anywhere else to go, so it would be good for him to get to know some people. Therefore, he smiled and said, "It just so happens that I don't have anywhere else to go. I'll follow you guys then."
"Don't call me big brother. We're all brothers. You're very courageous and we all admire you. In that kind of situation, only you could save him. I'm from Scarlet Sun Central City, so I can be considered the host. Today, I'll treat everyone to a meal. You can call me Ah Dong."
The others also introduced themselves. With Long Chen's memory, it was easy for him to remember their names. Most of these cultivators were from the small cities around Scarlet Sun Central City. They were at the sixth level of the Heaven Martial Realm and were only one step away from joining the Netherworld Army. Moreover, they weren't very old. If they were old, they wouldn't have come out to take risks.
After coming to a big restaurant, Long Chen quickly became friends with them. It was fate that brought them together from thousands of miles away. After a meal, everyone started calling each other brothers. Long Chen also knew that most of them had the goal of joining the Netherworld Army.
"Life is like a game. There's no fun in an ordinary game. In the end, we'll still die. Everyone hopes to die later. But for me, it's better to die with a bang. Therefore, I want to join the Netherworld Army and dig out my potential. No one is a true genius. If I work hard, I can also be the next genius."
"Of course. If we didn't want to live a hot-blooded life, why would we go to the main city of spirits?"
"We'll go to the main city first and train there for a few years. When we reach the seventh level of the Heaven Martial Realm, we'll join the strict selection system of the Netherworld Army. You should know that every month, there will be people who will join the Netherworld Army. Those who succeed are the dragons among men."
At that moment, they talked about Long Chen. One of them asked, "Brother Long Chen, is it convenient for you to tell me why you're going to the main city of spirits? I'm just asking. If it's not convenient, it's fine. Who's going to the main city of spirits? There's nothing that can't be said."
Long Chen smiled indifferently. He drank a cup of wine and said, "Similar to you, I also want to go to the main city of spirits to join the Netherworld Army. I just don't know what the selection system is like. With my current strength, I don't think I can pass."
Everybody looked at each other. In their hearts, Long Chen was a bit mysterious. So, they didn't know how strong Long Chen was.
"The selection of the Netherworld Army is based on fighting strength. If you're not in the seventh level of the Heaven Martial Realm but you have the ability to kill cultivators in the seventh level of the Heaven Martial Realm, you can join the Netherworld Army. In the Netherworld Army, there are many talisman masters and puppeteers. Even though they haven't reached the seventh level of the Heaven Martial Realm, they have powerful attacks," said Ah Dong with a smile.
He pointed at himself and said, "I also know a little about the Dao of Talismans. Normally, I can also make some talismans that are not very powerful. The talismans that all powerful Talisman Masters can make are infinitely powerful. We can no longer look up to them."
"As long as you can kill cultivators in the seventh level of the Heaven Martial Realm, you can?"
To Long Chen, that was good news. That way, he wouldn't have to wait until he reached the seventh level of the Heaven Martial Realm to join the Netherworld Army. He could join right now.
There were a total of nine people. As they ate and drank, a day quickly passed. They rested in the restaurant for a while. When the sun rose, they directly became sworn brothers and headed toward the west city gate. After a day of mingling, the group of young people almost called each other brothers.
About a quarter of an hour later, Long Chen's group exited the western city gate. Looking around, they could roughly see Miss Ji. Miss Ji was obviously waiting for them. They hurriedly rushed over. On the way, Long Chen looked around and saw a luxurious carriage behind Miss Ji. It was obviously a carriage belonging to a wealthy family. The decorations were incomparably luxurious, and there were many precious jewels hanging from it, sparkling and translucent.
