Lu Chen knew that Killing was the only one present with the highest cultivation level as a Yin Master. He could definitely fly into the air to stop this war of attrition, but from Killing's standpoint, he would certainly not do so.
Because everyone present was calculating and deceitful, no one would be willing to do something that did not benefit them; they were all too cunning.
Before the people above Mountain Valley could react, the battle in the sky seemed to be reaching a climax. The booming voice of Huangmei Daoist echoed, "Ye Laomo, you can't hold on much longer, can you? If you surrender now, I might leave you with a whole corpse, but why do you persist in this futile struggle?"
"Shut up, Huangmei Master! Besides your Divine Bow, do you have any other means? Hurry up and use them all; I fear nothing!"
Ye Nanzhai responded to Huangmei Daoist's taunts, his tone lacking the earlier vigor and carrying a hint of urgency. This was clearly due to the excessive consumption of Yin Yuan. However, it was understandable; after all, he was facing three opponents. To hold on to this extent was already quite impressive.
The Divine Bow was the ultimate skill of Sagittarius among the Star Twelve Seats. It transformed Yin Yuan into an arrow of energy, using Flesh as the bow to launch it powerfully against Yin Spirits. Those struck would die instantly, showcasing immense power.
"The defeat of the Supreme Leader is a foregone conclusion. Although the Alliance Army is not focused on the Red Robe Sect, if this continues, the Red Robe Sect will surely suffer severe losses. Is this fate truly predetermined?"
Lu Chen stared blankly at the clouds above. He could clearly sense that the Imperial Aura in the vicinity was gradually being overshadowed and suppressed by stellar energy. A mix of emotions surged within him as he realized he could do nothing at this moment; a feeling of helplessness washed over him.
Ye Nanzhai was already formidable enough, facing three opponents who were all experts. Zhao Centipede was the leader of the Three Poisons Wanderer; Huangmei Daoist was a master of his lineage, and his Yin True Cultivation was nearly on par with Ye Nanzhai's. There was also Rosen, a Qi Master specializing in martial arts, whose Nether War Armor changed form effortlessly and posed no fear against flying Yin Spirits.
On the ground, Killing and others were also staring up at the sky but showed no intention of intervening. From their standpoint, they were among those who most wished for the downfall of the Red Robe Sect. Whether now or in the future, the Red Robe Sect remained their fierce rival.
Thus, being able to strike a heavy blow against the Red Robe Sect through the hands of the Alliance Army would not be a bad thing for them.
Suddenly, Lu Chen distinctly heard a piercing scream from above: "Ah! My Flying Centipede! My treasure!"
This voice came from Zhao Centipede, surprisingly not from Ye Nanzhai.
"Centipede brother, where are you going?" The speaker was none other than Rosen.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen felt a surge of excitement; it seemed that there had been a turning point in the battle. Indeed, Zhao Centipede's Yin Spirit flew straight down from above in search of his Flying Centipede.
In the midst of battle, Zhao Centipede unexpectedly realized that he had lost his telepathic connection with Flying Centipede. He abandoned the battlefield, leaving Rosen and Huangmei Daoist to deal with Ye Nanzhai.
The only possibility for losing the telepathic bond with a creature he had nourished with his own blood was that something had happened to it.
Three Poisons Wanderer regarded the poisonous creatures he raised as his life and livelihood!
"It must be the Ten-Thousand Poisons Golden Toad that has achieved great merit!" Lu Chen exclaimed in surprise and delight, never expecting that the entire battle situation would be altered by a single Golden Toad.
Before long, the Ten-Thousand Poisons Golden Toad jumped back, covered in wounds and dripping with blood. It seemed to have been injured due to a fierce fight with Flying Centipede.
Lu Chen quickly put it into a black cloth bag to let it rest and recover. Three Poisons Wanderer was able to control his poisonous creatures because he often fed them fresh blood, nurturing them with his essence.
Secretly, Lu Chen began to ponder whether he should also invest some of his own blood to nourish the Ten-Thousand Poisons Golden Toad. Until now, he had only released the Golden Toad after the enemy unleashed their poisonous insects, using it as a countermeasure.
This approach was quite passive; the Ten-Thousand Poisons Golden Toad would only be willing to go out if it encountered food it liked. If the enemy released poisonous insects that were not to its taste, the outcome would surely be different.
Only by gradually establishing a telepathic connection with the Ten-Thousand Poisons Golden Toad could he command it freely.
Indeed, as Zhao Centipede left the battlefield, the nearby Imperial Aura gradually thickened again, exerting counterpressure against the starry energy.
At the same time, the Ten-Thousand Poisons Golden Toad jumped beside him. Lu Chen felt an Imperial Aura enveloping him, seemingly released by Ye Nanzhai.
He heard Ye Nanzhai's voice from above: "Hahaha, this truly aids me! With Zhao Centipede gone, I can focus entirely on dealing with you two."
"Ye Nanzhai, you need not be arrogant. Huang Mei and I together can still defeat you," Rosen replied.
Ye Nanzhai snorted coldly and said, "Is that so? Loyal and Brave Man Rosen, do you really think you can make a significant impact on this battlefield above Nine Heavens? Your Qigong cultivation is still too weak. If Great Strength Monk were wearing Nether War Armor, perhaps there would be some use, but you are far too lacking. I might as well eliminate you first before having a one-on-one duel with Huangmei Master."
"Ye Nanzhai, you bandit!" Rosen became furious. Before he could finish speaking, he was completely enveloped by Imperial Aura and let out cries of agony.
Lu Chen was also enveloped by the Imperial Aura, but he felt that the Imperial Aura surrounding him was gentle and devoid of any killing intent. It was clear that Ye Nanzhai had already noticed him and recognized that Lu Chen was the key to influencing the battle situation.
However, he wondered what Ye Nanzhai's sudden action of enveloping him could mean. This thought was quickly set aside as his situation could become very dangerous.
In the sky, the screams of Rosen continued, but soon the sounds ceased. After a while, under Lu Chen's uncertain gaze, a shadow fell straight down, landing right in front of him.
With a loud crash, Rosen hit the ground, kicking up a massive cloud of dust and shockwave that knocked Lu Chen over. He rolled several times on the ground before awkwardly getting up, his face covered in dirt.
At this moment, Rosen and his Nether War Armor were scattered all over the ground, with mechanical parts everywhere. Additionally, Rosen's body lay stiffly on the ground, his eyes wide open, pupils dilated, blood flowing from all seven orifices—clearly dead from violent impact.
Rosen had been killed by Red Robe Sect Leader Ye Nanzhai.
"That was close; I almost got hit directly!"
Lu Chen was still shaken. If Rosen had fallen directly on him, the immense force of the fall combined with Rosen's weight would have surely turned Lu Chen into a pulp.
But he quickly realized and muttered to himself, "Impossible; it can't be that coincidental. The Supreme Leader can release the Imperial Aura from Nine Above to envelop me, so he must also have the power to control the direction of Rosen's fall. I cleverly saved him once; although my methods weren't exactly honorable, if he wanted me dead, he could have exposed me in front of everyone, putting me in a perilous situation. The Three Poisons Wanderer would definitely not let me go, along with forces from Korea and Qi Kingdom."
Lu Chen couldn't bear to imagine what would have happened if Ye Nanzhai hadn't revealed his position or Zhao Centipede's methods behind him. Would he have been torn apart by those below? Death would be the lightest outcome.
Lu Chen got up from the ground, blinked at Rosen's body and the scattered mechanical parts around him, and suddenly realized: "The Supreme Leader did this on purpose; he wants me to take Rosen's body and the mechanized battle armor. If the armor is given to a disciple of Red Robe Sect for use, then undoubtedly Red Robe Sect's foundation will become even richer and more powerful to contend against Great Zhou Dynasty and secure a place among various feudal states and rebel forces."
If Rosen and the Nether War Armor fell into the crowd below, they would surely be fought over by everyone present—there would be no chance for Red Robe Sect disciples to claim them. Thus, Ye Nanzhai deliberately allowed the Nether War Armor to fall in front of Lu Chen, creating a false impression of natural descent to confuse everyone.
But how should he deal with this pile of broken items? Lu Chen suddenly thought of Jun Bell and immediately sat cross-legged on the ground. Using Yin Spirit Disembodiment, he activated Rift Spell to open Jun Bell and began collecting the mechanical parts of Nether War Armor.
As Lu Chen performed the ritual method, one by one, the mechanical parts that made up Nether War Armor were ceremoniously stored within Jun Bell.
Finally, Lu Chen looked at Rosen's corpse and carefully contemplated whether or not to collect Rosen as well.
After thinking it over, he decided to give up. Rosen was too large and cumbersome; it would be too difficult to carry him along with the scattered mechanical parts for the ritual. It was better to leave him here; the Alliance Army would come to collect his body.
Having settled this, something else happened that nearly broke Lu Chen's resolve.
He saw hundreds of armored soldiers charging towards him, weapons drawn.
"It's Rosen's Regular Army, come to collect their leader's body."
Lu Chen took a closer look and noticed that there were no signs of the Great Strength Monk or others among them, which reassured him. Ordinary soldiers could come in droves, but they would die in droves as well.
However, these soldiers were innocent. Lu Chen felt that their willingness to risk danger to retrieve their commander's body showed loyalty and righteousness, so there was no need to kill so many more.
Lu Chen prepared to retreat and find a place to hide.
Suddenly, a cacophony of battle cries reached his ears. Lu Chen focused his gaze and realized that over a hundred disciples from the Red Robe Sect were counterattacking the Regular Army under the leadership of the Branch Leader.
With Loyal and Brave Man Rosen killed, the Regular Army lost their leader, causing their morale to plummet. They were unexpectedly countered by the Red Robe Sect, which had less than half their numbers.
