Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 170: Morality and whatnot, we women never talk about it.

The Xuan Guan Army panicked. Yan Shiying deflected an arrow flying towards him and shouted, "My only family member is my sister. She's not near the imperial city right now!"

"This person is lying!"

Yan Shiying's voice rang out. The Xuan Guan Army calmed down and continued to attack Chen Qing and the Li Bingwei outside.

Chen Qing couldn't help but exclaim in his heart: Yan Shiying's prestige in the Xuan Guan Army was so high that it was terrifying.

The Xuan Guan Army believed Yan Shiying's words.

Although Xuan Cuo and Xuan Mang only brought some reinforcements, they were still reinforcements.

This raised the Li Bingwei's morale.

The battle continued. The inner circle was the battlefield between Chen Qing and the Xuan Guan Army, while the outer circle was the battlefield between the Li Bingwei and the Xuan Guan Army.

No matter which battlefield it was, everyone was fighting crazily at this moment.

Perhaps to the other countries, it was just a matter of winning or losing.

To the Li Bingwei and the Xuan Guan Army, it was a matter of life and death.

They were all mortal enemies.

At this moment, both sides had lost more than ten percent of their forces, but no one was afraid or cowering. Instead, they became more ruthless.

The ground was plowed flat one after another, and dust flew everywhere.

The rain of swords and arrows intertwined. The center of the battlefield became more and more brutal. Outside the battlefield, there were also cultivators attacking each other with all their might.

Amidst this chaotic battle, the sky gradually brightened.

Both sides had lost twenty percent of their forces, and the spirit energy in their bodies was almost depleted.

A large number of cultivators held spiritual pearls in one hand to recover their spirit energy, and used the other hand to control their flying swords to continue the battle.

Lin Zhonglu, who had a good sleep, finally couldn't hold back his curiosity. He came to Qing Ran's side and stopped to watch.

"How's the battle?"

Qing Ran rubbed her reddened eyes, "It's been fighting for an entire night, and it's still very tragic."

"Because the Li Bingwei's reinforcements have arrived, the difference between the losses of both sides is not big."

"It looks like the battle will continue for the entire day."

It was not normal for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to fight for an entire night.

Usually, after such a long time, there should be a winner.

But now, the battle situation was still not clear.

Deer in the Forest looked at the battlefield. At this moment, Chen Qing was like a blood-colored giant, standing in the middle of a thousand soldiers and waving his sword.

His entire body was covered in blood, and his entire body was almost covered in blood.

The skin was all over the place, and it was rare to find an intact piece.

Only Chen Qing, who had the flesh butterfly, could rely on his muscles to resist the enemy's flying sword.

At this moment, Chen Qing only felt pain all over his body. There was not a single part of his body that was not hurting.

Xuan Ping helped him overcome the danger of life and death, but she was unable to block all the attacks.

After being attacked by the enemy for an entire night, Chen Qing's entire body was covered in wounds.

The excruciating pain was constantly eroding his consciousness.

Fortunately, Chen Qing had once accompanied the fisherman in the Yellow Springs to drink fish soup for a long time, so his pain tolerance was extremely high.

At this moment, he was still able to maintain a clear mind.

After a night of hard fighting, the enemy's flying swords were not as many as last night, and the number of arrows were also much lesser.

Chen Qing reached out and grabbed the last strand of life force squeezed out from the ground to heal his injuries.

With a wave of his sleeve, he threw a spirit pearl and a large amount of healing spirit medicine into his mouth.

An endless stream of spirit energy mixed with medicinal power exploded from his stomach. As he quickly recovered his spirit energy, he allowed the medicinal power to heal his injuries.

The enemy's attacks were not so fierce, so it was his turn to show off!

This was his first time, and he had been fighting for an entire night in one go.

Competing in endurance, you really found the right person!

Breaking through the sword waterfall in front of him, Chen Qing's left hand immediately used the Dragon-capturing Hand to grab a guard.

This person wanted to escape, but found that a huge suction force exploded from Chen Qing's hand.

Chen Qing grabbed him, and a terrifying force exploded, crushing him into meat paste.

Chen Qing waved his sword repeatedly, and from time to time, he would split a guard in half.

He was like a god of war who would never be tired, who would never die, charging in all directions among the enemy.

Cheng Tianyou wanted to block, but he was sent flying by an arrow.

Seeing that Chen Qing was getting more and more courageous as the battle progressed, and it seemed like he was getting stronger and stronger, all of the Li soldiers became excited.

"Follow the Guard Master and kill these bastards!"

"They can't hold on any longer!"

"We're stronger than them. They must be running out of spirit energy!"

"Kill!"

When Cheng Tianyou heard the roars, he wiped away the blood on his face and arrived before Yan Shiying. "Milord, what do we do now?"

Yan Shiying said, "We can't retreat. Once we're ready to retreat, the deer in the forest will definitely mobilize an army to hunt us down."

"Once Qing Xu wins, we'll be at an absolute disadvantage."

"Let's keep fighting!"

The battle continued. Yan Shiying did not purposely go looking for trouble with Chen Qing anymore.

If they wanted to kill Chen Qing, they mainly needed to rely on numbers.

However, most of the guards had expended too much of their spirit energy right now. They were unable to gather enough troops to surround Chen Qing.

As a result, Yan Shiying could only charge into the enemy formation, wanting to kill as many enemies as possible.

Yan Shiying and Chen Qing were both fighting as hard as they could right now. The blood on the ground had gathered into a pool.

The entire ground was scarlet red, but before long, the Li soldiers and guards would flatten it again with their techniques.

Two hours passed. Yan Shiying turned his head to look at Chen Qing, who was fighting more and more valiantly. Even though he possessed the strength to fight Chen Qing, he did not have a technique like the Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth after all.

The deterrence of a technique like this on the battlefield was just too great.

As long as Chen Qing remained standing, the Li soldiers' morale would remain high.

On the other hand, the guards of the Li soldiers were already rather afraid.

Chen Qing's current appearance was rather terrifying.

Another four hours passed. Both sides had left over a hundred corpses on the ground once more.

Yan Shiying looked around. The woman called Xuan Ping had killed a Foundation Establishment cultivator with a raise of her hand.

In a single night, she had probably killed several dozen guards of the Li soldiers by herself.

This woman was extremely sensitive to battle opportunities. She would always be able to find the best opportunity to strike.

No matter how Yan Shiying commanded, everyone had already expended all of their spirit energy. It was useless.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of a horn in the forest.

"Kill the traitor Yan Shiying!"

"The Li soldiers have offended god Miao's grace. Charge with me!"

The deer in the forest had finally made a move.

Chen Qing thought, We won!

We finally won!

Yan Shiying coldly watched as a group of spirit beasts surged out of the forest. The Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Country of Lin were a fresh force. If they continued to fight, they would definitely lose.

He let out a long sigh. "Let's retreat!"

Cheng Tianyou and Ying Xiaoxiao looked at each other and yelled, "Retreat!"

Chou Ying also retreated from the battle formation, covering the retreat of the Li soldiers under him.

Li Bingwei's morale soared. "Kill!"

"Don't let them go!"

In the distance, Qingran saw this scene and actually felt somewhat fortunate.

Chen Qing didn't continue the chase with Li Bingwei. Instead, he left the pursuit to Lin Zhonglu.

One had to say that Lin Zhonglu was astute.

He chose a moment when he could mobilize the Foundation Establishment under his command. This was also the moment when Chen Qing needed Lin Guo's Foundation Establishment the most.

How could adding oil to a raging fire compare to sending charcoal in the snow?

With this contribution, Lin Zhonglu wasn't worried that Chen Qing would go back on his word.

Chen Qing led the troops to chase for a while and didn't continue.

There were three reasons.

First, he wasn't familiar with this place.

Second, he was worried that Yan Shiying would set up an ambush along the way.

Third, he had to maintain his military strength to deter Lin Guo's Foundation Establishment.

Although Lin Guo's Foundation Establishment structure meant that they had to choose a side to rely on, what if there were a few who weren't smart?

After chasing for a while and leaving behind dozens of corpses, Chen Qing ordered the troops to rest.

Dispelling the Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth state, Chen Qing sat on a collapsed tree trunk and gasped for breath.

Qingran quickly walked over and cupped her hands towards Chen Qing. "Lord Shenxiang and Li Bingwei, please enter our camp to rest."

At this moment, a large number of Foundation Establishment had been led out by Lin Zhonglu to chase Yan Shiying. Chen Qing didn't have any doubts and let people enter the forest.

Although Chen Qing was in unbearable pain and wanted to be carried away, to maintain his dignity, he could only continue to walk with difficulty.

Xuan Ping walked over in small steps. When the two met, there was only joy.

She reached out and placed Chen Qing's hand on her shoulder.

In the eyes of others, it was Chen Qing hugging her.

In reality, it was Chen Qing resting on her body.

Xuan Ping looked up and took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood off Chen Qing's face. "I caught up to you again."

Chen Qing smiled. He was about to say something when Xuan Ping covered his mouth.

"Heal first."

She helped Chen Qing to the camp and he entered the best treehouse. Chen Qing fell into a deep sleep.

Xuan Ping cast a spell and brought over a handful of water. She cleaned Chen Qing's body and changed his clothes. Only then did she call Jiang Xin over.

"Do you still have the strength to heal?"

Jiang Xin looked at Xuan Ping with a trace of fear.

She didn't know why, but when Jiang Xin saw Chen Qing, she didn't feel scared.

But when he saw Xuan Ping, he instinctively felt some fear.

"I-I can only do so much. Milord's injuries are very serious."

Xuan Ping's face was expressionless. "Treat as much as you can. His body is as strong as a divine beast, he will recover very quickly."

Jiang Xin then carefully treated Chen Qing's injuries. "I've done everything I can."

Xuan Ping glanced at her casually. "Mm, you can leave."

Hearing Chen Qing's steady breathing, she lifted Chen Qing's clothes to take a look. His flesh and blood were quickly recovering. Only then did Xuan Ping walk out of the treehouse in satisfaction.

Walking out of the treehouse, Xuan Ping, accompanied by Xuan Mang, found Qing Ran who was taking care of the wounded. "Forest Lu hasn't returned yet?"

Qing Ran didn't think there was a problem. "What's wrong, Madam?"

This was the first time Xuan Ping heard the word 'madam' from a stranger. She couldn't help but feel a trace of pride in her heart.

"Tell him to return quickly. Don't continue chasing. He's not Yan Shiying's match!"

Qing Ran smiled. "Madam is worrying too much. Now that Yan Shiying is tired and his spirit energy is insufficient, it's a good chance to chase and kill him!"

"And he only has six hundred people left. Our army has almost two thousand spirit beasts. We can definitely capture and kill Yan Shiying!"

Xuan Ping saw that he didn't listen to her advice and could only leave. She hadn't walked far when she said to Xuan Mang, "Second brother, send people to spread the news of our victory."

"Remember to spread the news that Chen Qing is God Miao's favorite."

"Also, tell Big Brother to come here."

Actually, this battle couldn't be considered a great victory. The Xuan Guan Army lost five hundred people and the Li Army also lost three hundred people.

It could only be said to be a pyrrhic victory.

When Xuan Cuo came to the treehouse where Chen Qing was sleeping, Xuan Ping was holding a basin of water and washing the blood on Chen Qing's hair.

Her hair had been stained with too much blood, and it had become strands of hair that had clumped together.

"Ping 'er wants me to make a trip to Iron Country?"

Xuan Ping thought that her two brothers weren't ordinary people. "Big Brother is right."

Xuan Cuo said, "But, I need thirty spirit beasts and the heads of all the enemies in this battle!"

"With six hundred heads as a deterrent, Iron Country's foundation will definitely be terrified!"

Xuan Ping said, "Then I'll leave it to Big Brother!"

Xuan Cuo quickly left to discuss this matter with Qing Ran.

At this time, Xuan Ping finally had a moment of peace. "You, why do you have to do such a big thing?"

After sleeping until late at night, Chen Qing finally woke up. Just as he woke up, he smelled medicinal porridge.

Getting up, Xuan Ping in a black dress was sitting not far away cooking medicinal porridge.

"How is the battle?"

Xuan Ping glanced at him. "Forest Deer is probably going to fall."

"When I came, I investigated. Yan Shiying definitely has more than twelve hundred people under him. There should be another army lying in ambush."

Chen Qing thought for a moment and asked, "Have you warned them?"

Xuan Ping said, "I gave them a slight reminder but I didn't order them to retreat."

Chen Qing smiled. "That's good. A complete Lin Country isn't as easy to control as a broken one."

"It's good to let them suffer some losses in Yan Shiying's hands."

Xuan Ping rolled her eyes at him. "Yes, if they don't suffer some losses in Yan Shiying's hands, how can they show off your ability to defeat her with eight hundred people and still win?"

Chen Qing said, "Isn't this something that can't be helped?"

"If I can have two thousand people, I'll definitely bring two thousand people to fight Yan Shiying!"

Xuan Ping picked up the medicinal porridge and blew on it to cool it. "Soon, very soon, we'll have two thousand troops."

"Big Brother is already heading to Iron Country. He should be able to persuade the foundation of Iron Country."

"Now, only you have won two battles on a thousand-person battlefield and killed more than a thousand foundation."

"Adding on the title of God Miao, there should be many people coming to join you."

Xuan Ping reached out and grabbed Chen Qing's left hand. "What you're doing is a big thing. I definitely won't stop you."

"Chen Qing, promise me. If we're going to do it, we'll do our best."

Chen Qing held Xuan Ping's delicate hand and touched the calluses on her hands that she practiced archery all year round.

The rough and tender parts of this pair of hands were always so distinct.

"Okay, then we'll do our best."

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted outside. "Urgent report, urgent report!"

"Lord Lin was ambushed by the enemy and lost!"

Chen Qing and Xuan Ping knew about this long ago and weren't surprised.

Yan Shiying, the next time I fight you, it won't be you bullying me with your numbers advantage anymore.

Xuan Ping said leisurely, "If the deer in the forest dies, Lin Country's foundation will have no leader. It'll be easier to take over Lin Country's foundation."

Chen Qing said in shock, "Isn't it not good to do this?"

Xuan Ping said coldly, "I only know that this is good for you. Us women don't talk about morality."
