Chapter 71: Understanding the Brave Warrior's Heart; Doubling Experience Points

  "Ah..."

  "Ah...... My hand is broken."

  "Ah...... My leg is broken, the enemy is too strong, I'm going to die."

  "We can't beat these fugitives, I'm withdrawing."

  ……

  "Kill, kill all these young and inexperienced brutes, avenge our fallen brothers."

  "Kill!"

  ……

  The people in front were in a great melee, and Fang Yan, Fang Qing, and Fu Qianxun, who were hiding in the dark, were deeply shocked by this brutal battle.

  The disciples of the two Wang families were wailing in despair, and many people couldn't bear the bloody and cruel scene and retreated in fear. Compared to the small number of fugitives, they suffered extremely heavy injuries, with a numerical advantage that was not overwhelming, but they had already become fierce and menacing, shouting and charging continuously into the crowd. They fought until their last drop of blood, even if they couldn't stand up anymore, as long as they still had a breath left, the ferocity in their eyes didn't retreat, crawling to launch a surprise attack on the enemy, until they were hacked to pieces by the opponent's chaotic swords and sabers before they would stop.

  Killing one fugitive would cost the enemy several times, even dozens of times more in a heavy price. Some people with weak minds were intimidated by these fugitives' life-and-death fighting style and didn't have the courage to fight at all.

  "Run away quickly! Everyone run away quickly, these people are too strong, staying here will only lead to death."

  "Bastards, you bastards! Who told you to run away? Get back here and fight to the death!" Gao Jin yelled at the fleeing Gao family disciples.

  Some people couldn't bear the bloody and cruel scene and ran away, one by one, two by two, three by three. The trees fell down and the monkeys scattered, that's what is happening now in this chaotic scene. No one can directly face death. No matter how much the leaders of the two royal families scolded, those who should escape did so; those who didn't, stayed behind only to meet their doom.

  "Damn it, these trash, all the cowards have escaped. We who stayed behind are also in a precarious situation. These fugitives were also injured and they can't escape without healing medicine. Their chances of survival are less than 10%. Later, we'll gather our men to slaughter these dregs." Wang Chu, the leader of the Wang family's army, looked at his clansmen who had been defeated and killed, some escaped, some scattered, now only four or five people were left, and he felt a bit helpless.

  "Withdraw." Gao Jin fought with all his might, but the situation was hopeless. The enemy had broken their morale and he had no choice but to order a retreat. What's the use of just one person fighting desperately? It's only useful if everyone fights together.

  "Brothers, kill them, wipe out these bastards, avenge our fallen brothers."

  "Brothers, kill! The way out is ahead, take the heads of these little bastards and we can leave this godforsaken place!" Du Yanlong, the one-eyed dragon, was full of energy and kept shouting loudly.

  "These people are truly evil, with no redeeming qualities. Nine of them were killed by the other side, and they still suffered a great defeat." Looking at the scattered fleeing figures, the wailing and crying young masters of the aristocratic families, Fang Qing couldn't help but frown.

  "Fang Yan, what should we do now? This ending is too unexpected. Gao Jin, Wang Chu and those useless people were actually killed by nine people and fled in disarray, which doesn't match our previous plan. Shouldn't we temporarily avoid the limelight and wait for them to be exhausted before taking action together to annihilate them?" Fu Qingxuan's eyebrows furrowed deeply upon hearing this.

  In Fang Yan's plan, they would wait for the two disciples of Gao Wang to fight with these fugitives until only one side was left, and then they would take advantage of the situation. However, these fugitives were unexpectedly victorious, using their small numbers to defeat the larger enemy forces, and even repelled them. The reality was quite different from what had been anticipated.

  "Bide our time, why should we avoid? The disciples of the Gao and Wang families have been killed and scattered. We can defeat them one by one later. Now, we need to kill these fugitives. Although they are ferocious, their injuries are real, and they are indeed at the end of their strength. Just because Gao Jin and Wang Chu dare not fight back does not mean that we do not dare to fight to the death. Fighting is like cultivation, both require going against the current. If we retreat easily when faced with a little difficulty, how can we ask for the throne of longevity? How can we look beyond life and death? How can we seize our fate from heaven? We need a brave heart that dares to charge forward." Fang Yan saw Fu Qingxuan and Fang Qing's morale affected by the battle situation below, and suddenly spoke in a low voice.

  "Going against the current, if you don't advance then retreat. If we can't even overcome this small difficulty, how can we become strong?" Fu Qingxuan's eyebrows furrowed, her face stern.

  "In that case, let us go against the current and carve out a bloody path, to ask for the pinnacle of cultivation." Fang Yan said in a low voice.

  "Kill!"

  Fang Yan let out a loud whoop and was the first to leap down from the sturdy branch, charging straight at the burly one-eyed Dragon, Gui Da Han.

  "Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully grasping the Brave Heart, experience points doubled."

  Just as Fang Yan flew towards that one-eyed dragon-like big man, suddenly, the cold system prompt sound rang in Fang Yan's mind.

  "Hero's Heart, experience value doubles." Fang Yan heard the cold system prompt tone with a hint of confusion, but his hands didn't stop attacking, unleashing the strongest attack, Phantom Slash, towards the one-eyed dragon-like giant.

  "Damn it, where did this ignorant little brat come from? He actually dared to sneak up on your grandfather! I'll kill him!" The one-eyed dragon giant felt a sudden gust of wind behind him. In that instant, his pores were wide open, and he stopped chasing the enemy, turned around, and saw that Fang Yan, an eighth-level Qi Refining ant, had sneaked up on him. His anger rose from his heart, and he let out a loud roar. A flash of brutal color crossed his face as his thick, large hand reached out to grab Fang Yan.

  "Looking for death." Fang Yan sneered in his heart, this fool actually used his hand to grab his Phantom Slash, really not knowing life from death. At this moment, the momentum was even more fierce.

  "Ah! Little thief, my arm, I'm going to eat you alive!" Just as the one-eyed dragon's thick hand touched the dreamy sword shadow, a miserable cry suddenly rang out. The sturdy big hand was a mess of blood and flesh, clearly crippled.

  Fang Yan's first move was incredibly effective. Fu Qingxuan and Fang Qing also joined the battle at this moment, each entangling their own opponent.

  "Ah! You little bastard, I'm going to kill you!" The one-eyed dragon's big man fell into a disadvantageous position, Fang Yan's attack was even more fierce and violent than these desperate fugitives. The one-eyed dragon's big man kept roaring with anger. His body was constantly being cut by Fang Yan, especially the ferocious wound on his chest, which almost took his life.

  "You can go to hell and accompany your brother." Fang Yan sneered, unleashing a Mountain-Crushing Blow that collided with his opponent's body in a fierce and overbearing manner. Enduring the hard kick from his opponent, he countered with a Phantom Slash, chopping his opponent's chaotic sword into pieces.

  "Ding! Congratulations, host, on successfully killing an enemy and leveling up, earning 60 experience points."

  Fang Yan was swept away by the powerful kick of his opponent, and while he was still in mid-air, a cold system prompt suddenly sounded in his mind. As soon as he landed, he couldn't hold back the pain in his chest, and a thread of scarlet blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth.

  "The final blow of the Five Elements Realm's fifth-level cultivator is indeed powerful." Fang Yan had blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, and a look of lingering fear on his face. If his opponent hadn't been injured, he wouldn't have stood a chance against him; he had just exploited a big opening.

  "The old man is dead..."

  "What a waste, the big boss is actually dead." The corpse of Du Yan, the one-eyed dragon, fell to the ground, and the four desperate fugitives around him couldn't help but exclaim.
