Chapter 1386: Chapter 680: Wrapping Things Up, Leaving Qingfeng City! _2
Outside the city, the farmland stretched boundlessly.
Countless villagers were busily working in the fields.
Luo Chen rode his horse, slowly passing through this vibrant expanse, filled with reverence and gratitude for the land.
He deeply understood that it was the diligent villagers, with their hands and sweat, who nourished this land, sustaining Qingfeng City’s prosperity and peace.
As the sound of hooves gradually faded, Luo Chen arrived at the edge of a dense forest.
He tightened the reins, stopping his horse, and gazed deeply into the forest’s depths.
This forest was said to harbor many opportunities and dangers, making it the perfect place for cultivators to train and explore.
Luo Chen took a deep breath, his heart surging with a strong desire for challenge.
He dismounted, tied his horse to a nearby tree, then hoisting his longsword, he ventured into the forest.
Sunlight filtered through the dense canopy, casting dappled shadows, adding a touch of mystery and unpredictability to the tranquil forest.
Luo Chen cautiously navigated the forest paths, constantly alert to his surroundings.
He knew that within this forest, not only were there fierce beasts, but also cunning bandits and hidden traps.
He had to remain highly vigilant to ensure his safety.
After walking for about an hour, Luo Chen suddenly heard a faint noise ahead.
He immediately halted, held his breath, and listened intently.
The sound grew nearer, as if something was approaching him.
Luo Chen swiftly drew his longsword, adopting a defensive stance.
Just then, a huge wild boar charged out from the bushes, rushing directly at him.
Seeing this, Luo Chen’s figure flickered, deftly dodging the boar’s rush, and then seized the chance to strike, accurately piercing the boar’s neck.
The boar let out a mournful scream, struggled on the ground for a while, and then stopped moving.
Luo Chen sheathed his longsword and walked to the boar, checking its injuries.
After confirming the boar was dead, he breathed a sigh of relief and began to process the boar.
He cut off the most tender pieces of meat, wrapped them in leaves, and hung them at his waist as provisions.
Then, he continued deeper into the forest, secretly remaining vigilant.
Deep within the forest, not only were demonic beasts rampant, but many unknown dangers lurked as well.
Luo Chen understood that to survive in this perilous place, one needed both strong skills and exceptional wisdom and keen observation.
As the sun slowly rose, sunlight filtered through dense foliage, casting a patchwork of shadows.
Luo Chen weaved through this world of interwoven light and shadow, every step taken with extraordinary caution.
He used his senses to keenly perceive subtle changes in the surrounding environment, guarding against unforeseen dangers.
Suddenly, a peculiar fragrance wafted over, invigorating his spirit.
He immediately realized this scent wasn’t naturally occurring but was deliberately created by someone.
He quickly scanned his surroundings, trying to locate the source of the scent.
However, aside from dense trees and occasional bird calls, there was nothing out of the ordinary.
Luo Chen secretly remained vigilant, knowing this scent was likely a trap or bait.
He took a deep breath, steadied his mind, and continued forward.
As he was about to exit this area, rapid footsteps suddenly sounded from ahead.
Luo Chen immediately halted, gripped his longsword tightly, and looked ahead cautiously.
Several figures clad in black, wearing ghostly masks, swiftly approached him.
They wielded long knives, their eyes glinting with a cold light, clearly bearing malicious intentions.
"Who are you?"
Luo Chen asked deeply, quietly marshaling his inner energy for the impending battle.
"Hmph, you don’t need to know who we are."
One of the men in black sneered, "All you need to know is that today is the day you die!"
Before his words faded, the men in black simultaneously swung their blades at Luo Chen.
Luo Chen’s figure flickered, deftly evading the first wave of attacks, then swiftly counterattacked.
His longsword danced, sword light weaving, instantly clashing fiercely with the men in black.
After several exchanges, Luo Chen, relying on exceptional swordsmanship and acute combat awareness, gradually gained the upper hand.
Seizing the moment, he pierced one man in black’s chest with his sword.
The man in black let out a miserable scream, fell to the ground, and died.
However, the remaining men in black did not retreat, but rather attacked Luo Chen even more wildly.
Luo Chen snorted coldly, his longsword wielded even more swiftly.
He used his nimble movement technique and exquisite swordsmanship, continually searching for the men in black’s weaknesses.
After a fierce battle, Luo Chen finally defeated all the men in black.
He stood there, breathing heavily, looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, filled with vigilance and doubt.
He didn’t understand why these men in black suddenly appeared to attack him, nor did he know the forces behind them.
Just as Luo Chen was deep in thought, a faint sound of wind suddenly came from behind him.
He immediately turned around, only to see a young man in white, with a delicate face, standing quietly not far away, watching him.
"And who are you?"
Luo Chen asked cautiously.
The young man smiled slightly and walked slowly toward Luo Chen.
"I’m merely a loose cultivator, my name is Yun Tu."
He introduced himself, "I sensed the presence of battle here, so I hurried over to investigate."
Yun Tu’s voice was gentle and clear, seemingly penetrating the forest’s clamor, reaching directly to Luo Chen’s heart.
His eyes revealed a transcendent calmness, in stark contrast with the tense surroundings.
Luo Chen studied the suddenly appeared young man, although wary, the other’s manner and demeanor inexplicably made him feel a certain warmth and trust.
He slightly loosened his tight grip on the longsword, slowly asking, "Brother Yun Tu, do you know where these men in black come from? Why did they attack me?"
Yun Tu shook his head slightly, frowning, "These men in black have mysterious identities and strange actions; I have never seen them before either."
"However, judging by their moves, they are clearly well-trained, not ordinary folk."
"As for why they attacked you, it could be related to your recent actions."
Upon hearing this, Luo Chen’s heart tightened.
He recalled his recent experiences in Qingfeng City, and those with whom he had disagreements.
Could these men in black be assassins sent by them?
He pondered a moment, then said to Yun Tu, "Brother Yun Tu makes sense, perhaps I have indeed stirred some trouble, but I, Luo Chen, act forthrightly, fearing no challenge, if these men in black come again, they shall not return!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Tu smiled slightly, his eyes flashing with a trace of admiration.
He patted Luo Chen’s shoulder, saying, "Brother Luo Chen, with such grand ambition, I, Yun Tu, cannot stand idly by."
"How about this, I’ll accompany you, so we can watch each other’s backs."
Thrilled, Luo Chen quickly bowed in thanks, "Thank you, Brother Yun Tu! With you by my side, my journey will surely be smoother!"
The two exchanged a smile, then walked shoulder to shoulder, continuing into the forest.
With Yun Tu’s company, Luo Chen felt the pressure in his heart lighten significantly.
As they walked, they chatted about their cultivation experiences and views on martial arts, the atmosphere incredibly harmonious.
As time passed, they gradually penetrated into the heart of the forest.
Here, the trees were even more tall and sturdy, their foliage so dense it almost obscured the sky.
Sunlight could only faintly pierce through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled shadows.
The air carried an ancient and mysterious aura, as if hiding countless secrets.
Luo Chen and Yun Tu both sensed the unusualness of this place.
They slowed their pace, more cautiously observing their surroundings.
Just then, a deep roar suddenly originated from ahead, shaking the trees around into a slight tremor.
The two exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with a hint of seriousness.
