"However, there are some Spiritual Beasts that are not easy to deal with. If you kill one Spiritual Beast, you can only obtain one Spiritual Crystal."

"But if we kill the others, maybe some of them will harvest quite a lot of Spirit Crystals."

"Using this method of killing to seize a treasure naturally would have twice the result with half the effort."

"Greed, I didn't expect these people to be so greedy that they would go all out to kill each other."

"This method is indeed much faster than killing Spiritual Beasts in the Spiritual Beast Mountain Range."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Murong Yanran immediately understood.

"Everyone, you have to be careful. Judging from the auras remaining on their bodies, these three are at least low-grade Profound Rank."

Lu Chen looked up slightly and said solemnly as his gaze landed on the depths of the Spirit Beast Mountain.

Lin Siyun and the other two solemnly nodded. They couldn't help but pay full attention to this and respond with caution.

Lu Chen planned to hunt for higher grade spirit crystals and then refine them in a safe place.

The effects of these spirit crystals were quite obvious, and it was a good opportunity to increase everyone's cultivation.

Spirit crystals were divided into red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.

According to the little fox, the domain contained within the Spirit Crystal actually corresponded to the power of achievement. It was at least a yellow Spirit Crystal. The energy contained within it had a qualitative change compared to the first two colors and was much easier to absorb.

Moreover, not only was it easier to absorb, but the purity of the energy would also be higher. It would also have a higher compatibility with the spiritual energy in the human body.

There would even be higher level spirit beasts, some Rank Four spirit beasts.

As for Rank Four spirit beasts, the condensed Spirit Crystals were green, and their strength was at least human mid-grade Profound Rank.

From the looks of it, the area ahead was indeed more suited to Lu Chen's needs.

With Lu Chen's current strength, he needed to refine the Spirit Crystals that were made from Rank Three and above spirit beasts in order to have a better effect.

Lu Chen felt a chill in his heart. Was this an attack from a spirit beast, or was it an a.s.sa.s.sination from someone who had stolen another person's spirit crystal?

He secretly gathered spirit energy as he became fully alert.

At the same time, he turned around and winked at Murong Yanran and Lin Siyun.

The expressions of the two girls tensed up as they slowed their steps and waited with rapt attention.

An illusory shadow rapidly flew towards Lu Chen's direction.

Faced with this sudden situation, even though Lu Chen was on guard, he still felt a wave of fear.

The person who came was of extraordinary strength!

Fortunately, the two of them were more alert, so they quickly dodged to the side after they saw the incoming attack.

Soon after, Lu Chen discovered that even after dodging, this black figure still did not give up. With a short knife in hand, it rapidly stabbed towards him.

This involuntarily caused Lu Chen's heart to tighten. This gaze gave him the feeling that it was a kind of indifference to life.

It was as if this attack was a habit.

The opponent's speed was extremely fast, but it was still within Lu Chen's control.

His opponent's tactics were more likely to be used in close combat.

"So fast..."

Seemingly not wanting to be a burden to Lu Chen, she struggled a little.

However, He Qian's actions caused Lu Chen to hold her even more tightly.

Clang!

At this time, he didn't intend to use the power of karmic virtue. He wanted to gradually break away from the reliance on the power of karmic virtue.

Unless it was a critical moment, Lu Chen still wanted to use his own strength to deal with the enemy.

This was undoubtedly a form of training for himself.

The next moment, a series of crisp sounds were heard as the two sides exchanged blows several times.

When he neared the tenth blade, the opponent's short blade suddenly broke with a "Peng" sound.

Murong Yanran and Lin Siyun had already seen the opportunity and were hiding at the side. However, they did not manage to get involved.

The black-clothed man's eyes flashed with surprise. The longsword in Lu Chen's hand emitted a cyan light, giving off an ordinary yet extraordinary feeling.

The black-clothed man quickly took a few steps back, opening up a distance between him and Lu Chen. He immediately drew out the long sword on his back, madly waving it in front of him.

As the black-clothed man brandished his longsword, six or seven wind blades actually shot towards Lu Chen at great speed.

Kcha! *

Lu Chen's eyes focused on the black clothed man, and he could clearly see that his neck was split in half by an ice blade.

The man's head and torso separated, and his eyes dimmed.

A moment later, his head and body fell powerlessly to the ground, dead.

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment. He turned around and realized that Murong Yanran had seized the opportunity to make her move.

"Miss Yanran, your actions were indeed decisive. Thank you for helping me out!"

At the same time that Murong Yanran attacked, Lu Chen acutely sensed that a few auras, which were approaching rapidly, had suddenly left.

It was unknown if they had misjudged Lu Chen's strength, or if they had underestimated their team's young strength.

Only when Murong Yanran made her move did they give up on the idea of approaching her.

"His aura is still not stable yet. To Mister Lu, this is definitely a piece of cake. Yanran's actions are just superfluous."

Murong Yanran only smiled faintly. She did not have much confidence in front of Lu Chen.

This was because she was very clear that the black clothed man was not the only one here.
