Chapter 451 The Crying Child Gets the Milk [8,000-word long chapter, please subscribe]

Although "Snake Demon" Xu Qinglin is not as famous as "Seven Fiends of the Primordial Demon", he is still quite well-known among the many Purple Mansion stage cultivators in the Primordial Demon Legion.

Even demonic cultivators among the "Seven Fiends of the Primordial Demon" would treat him with respect, believing that he has a good chance of forming his core in the future.

Now, however, he died at Zhou Chun's hands after a fierce battle, a scene that naturally shocked many demonic cultivators who knew him.

Therefore, when Zhou Chun saw that his subordinate Cheng Zhiming was in bad shape and rushed to his aid, the mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator from the Blood Bone Sect who had been dominating Cheng Zhiming in the battle was immediately frightened and hastily withdrew, not daring to face Zhou Chun at all.

This situation deeply moved Cheng Zhiming, who immediately bowed to Zhou Chun with gratitude and reverence, saying, "Thank you for saving me, Commander!"

"Vice Commander Cheng, there's no need to be so polite. We're colleagues; how could I stand by and do nothing when you're in danger!"

Zhou Chun waved his hand and directly instructed, "Deputy Commander Cheng can pay more attention to the situation of the younger members of our team. As for killing enemies and eliminating demons, they should do so within their capabilities!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhiming was slightly taken aback, then replied respectfully with a delighted expression, "Yes, Your subordinate obeys."

However, he had already understood Zhou Chun's meaning, which was that he no longer needed to fight with cultivators of the same level.

As a cultivator in the Purple Mansion stage, as long as there are enemy Purple Mansion stage cultivators on the battlefield, the priority should be to kill them first.

Even if one side has the upper hand, it doesn't matter.

However, now that Zhou Chun has directly ordered him to take better care of his own Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators, he has a perfectly legitimate reason not to fight with cultivators of the same level.

Even if someone is held accountable afterward, Zhou Chun will still bear the responsibility.

This was undoubtedly a special favor from Zhou Chun for him to join him.

This made Cheng Zhiming secretly pleased with his previous choice, knowing that he had followed the right person this time.

As for Zhou Chun, while he certainly bears some responsibility for issuing this order, it is entirely within his capacity to bear it.

After all, he had killed five demonic cultivators in the Purple Mansion stage in succession, including Xu Qinglin and the demon-possessed cultivator, both of whom were in the late Purple Mansion stage.

Whether considering his individual achievements or the team's overall performance, he and his team are exceptionally outstanding.

Even if Commander Wei Yong later found out that he had issued such an order, he would definitely not say anything more because of Wei Yong's outstanding achievements.

This has always been the case: those with outstanding abilities will inevitably enjoy privileges that ordinary people do not have!

After instructing Cheng Zhiming, Zhou Chun moved swiftly and charged towards another chosen demonic cultivator.

And so a comical scene unfolded.

Several times, when Zhou Chun rushed towards a demonic cultivator in the Purple Mansion stage, the demonic cultivator who originally had the upper hand would be so frightened that he would flee at the mere sight of him and avoid the fight altogether.

One or two times might not seem like much, but after five or six such incidents occur, the impact on the local battle situation becomes significantly different.

Because of Zhou Chun's unparalleled unpredictability, those Purple Mansion stage demonic cultivators not only had to fight against the numerically superior Heavenly Spirit Legion cultivators, but also had to constantly guard against his sneak attacks and sudden kills, which had a significant impact on their morale.

The key point is that not everyone can prevent Zhou Chun's attack in time.

Soon, a Corpse Demon Cult cultivator with mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivation failed to escape in time and was left behind by the lightning python that approached using the lightning escape technique. Zhou Chun himself then caught up and easily killed the demon cultivator with the same cultivation level as himself in no time.

This scene terrified many demonic cultivators, causing them to flee at the mere mention of his name, with no one daring to confront Zhou Chunfang again.

Until the appearance of a demonic cultivator!

A flash of blood-red light appeared on the horizon, and an old man with white hair, exuding a strong smell of blood, blocked Zhou Chun's path.

The old man's white hair was no longer just waist-length, but reached level with his heels.

But his skin and face looked very young and delicate, like a young girl in her late teens.

This stark contrast in appearance is enough to demonstrate that this person is extraordinary.

Generally speaking, people with such unique and outstanding appearances are easily remembered if they become famous.

Upon seeing the white-haired old man, Zhou Chun quickly recalled the information he had read about famous demonic cultivators, and then soon remembered the information about the white-haired old man in front of him.

He stared directly at the white-haired old man and slowly said, "Ge Changsheng, the 'White-Haired Blood Demon,' was once briefly listed among the 'Seven Fiends of the Primordial Demons,' but was later injured and defeated by Li Qianyang, the 'Qianyangzi' of the 'Seven Heroes of the Heavenly Spirit.' After that, he fell into obscurity and never appeared on the list again!"

Upon hearing his words, the white-haired old man Ge Changsheng, whose expression had been relatively calm, suddenly had a terrifying glint in his eyes.

Zhou Chun's words clearly displeased him, touching on a sensitive topic.

Indeed, the battle in which he lost to "Qianyangzi" not only caused him serious internal injuries, but also damaged his reputation and prestige even more.

As one of the "Seven Fiends of the Primordial Demons," he was defeated by Li Qianyang, who was also one of the "Seven Heroes of the Heavenly Spirits." This undoubtedly disappointed many high-level demon cultivators who had originally been optimistic about him, and also gave many Purple Mansion stage demon cultivators who had previously been unconvinced of him an opportunity.

So, during the time he was recovering from his injury, he was unsurprisingly removed from the list of "Seven Fiends of the Primordial Demons" and was never selected again.

This matter is arguably the biggest regret of his life, and something he least wants to hear people mention again.

Now that Zhou Chun brought this up in front of him, it was like reopening his wounds, how could he not be furious?

But then he glared at Zhou Chun with a fierce look in his eyes and said in a cold voice, "Since you know my name, you still dare to bring this up in front of me. You're very good, very good!!"

Hearing his murderous words, Zhou Chun's gaze immediately sharpened, and he sneered, "What, did this hit a nerve? It seems you've only aged in vain; your mental cultivation hasn't kept up at all!"

"You're asking for it!"

With a furious roar, Ge Changsheng's white hair moved without wind, and he could no longer suppress his anger and attacked directly.

He raised his hand and waved it at Zhou Chun, his five fingers bursting with blood-red light, instantly unleashing a blood-red claw-like beam that pierced through the air towards Zhou Chun.

At the same time, a flash of blood-red light appeared in his sleeve, and a blood-red flying sword emitting a hazy blood-red light shot straight towards Zhou Chun.

"Well done!"

With a loud shout, Zhou Chun also raised his hand and swung it, sending a golden blade slashing towards the blood-red claw-like light.

Then the "Golden Rainbow Sword" flew out instantly, transforming into a golden rainbow to meet the blood-red flying sword.

At the same time, the lightning python Bai Bai beside him opened its mouth and spat out a thick bolt of silver lightning that struck Ge Changsheng, the "White-Haired Blood Demon".

However, Zhou Chun ultimately suffered a loss due to his lower cultivation level. In their first exchange, the golden blade he unleashed was shattered in mid-air by the blood-red claw, and he ultimately had to rely on a shield formed from stone to block the attack.

Moreover, the "Golden Rainbow Sword" had previously been corrupted by the venomous snake-shaped flying sword of the "Snake Demon" Xu Qinglin during their sword fight.

This time, facing the "White-Haired Blood Demon" Ge Changsheng's third-grade superior "Blood Transformation Sword" that had been refined to its limit by drinking blood, he was also outmatched and fell into a disadvantageous position as soon as they clashed.

This is a problem faced by many frontline cultivators, whether they are Heavenly Spirit Legion cultivators or demonic cultivators, they all face the issue of frequently changing magical artifacts.

Because in life-and-death battles with cultivators of the same level, even a third-tier magic weapon made of hard spiritual materials can be shattered and defiled by the opponent's magic weapon or supernatural power.

Although Zhou Chun hasn't been on the battlefield for very long, the number of times he's fought against cultivators of the same level is already comparable to those who have been on the battlefield for several years. Moreover, many of his opponents are late-stage Purple Mansion cultivators with excellent magical artifacts.

In addition, he himself did not take good care of the ritual implements and often clashed with people, making the ritual implements more prone to damage.

Fortunately, he had many magical artifacts. When he saw that the "Golden Rainbow Sword" was no match for the blood-red flying sword, he immediately patted his storage bag at his waist and summoned a crimson-gold flying sword to join the battle.

This crimson-gold flying sword was a spoil of war he obtained from killing a demonic cultivator. It was a high-grade third-tier magic weapon, but it wasn't as good as the "Golden Rainbow Sword." He kept it on his person as a spare magic weapon.

At this moment, the two swords combined their power and finally managed to withstand the blood-red flying sword.

But "White-Haired Blood Demon" Ge Changsheng is clearly not that kind of poor guy!

Once ranked among the "Seven Fiends of the Primordial Demons," his magical artifacts and supernatural abilities were undoubtedly among the top in the Purple Mansion stage.

Once he takes action, he won't hold back with Zhou Chun.

After making a few tentative moves, he roused himself and unleashed his true power.

He then summoned a blood-red banner, which hovered above his head. Blood-red light surged from the banner, forming a thick blood-red shield that protected him.

No matter how much lightning the Thunder Python unleashed, the blood-red shield remained unmoved, demonstrating extremely strong defensive capabilities and resilience.

After securing his own safety, he raised his hand and patted the storage bag at his waist, taking out a longbow made of white bone with countless blood-red runes, as well as a pot of blood-patterned bone arrows made from the bones of an unknown creature.

He drew his bow and nocked an arrow, aiming it at the Thunder Python and shooting out the arrow in vain.

The long arrow pierced the air, shooting straight towards the Thunder Python like a streak of blood-red lightning, its speed as swift as real lightning.

However, the lightning python managed to dodge the arrow using its lightning escape technique.

However, the arrow that missed its target did not fail. Instead, it changed direction and continued to shoot towards the lightning python that appeared thousands of feet away. It actually possessed the supernatural ability to track enemies by their aura!

In this case, it would be somewhat pointless for the Thunder Python to frequently use its Thunder Escape Technique to evade it.

After all, using the Lightning Escape Technique consumes a lot of mana, and as Zhou Chun's main attacker, its mana consumption has always been greater than Zhou Chun's own.

The previous series of battles had reduced its remaining mana to only 30-40% of its peak strength. If it were to use lightning techniques frequently again, it would be unable to continue fighting!

Therefore, it quickly opened its mouth and spat out a bolt of silver lightning that struck the long arrow.

Unexpectedly, the lightning bolt failed to knock down or destroy the arrow, but only slightly dimmed the blood-red light attached to it before shooting towards it again.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun's expression changed slightly. He hurriedly called Bai Bai over to his side, and had Shi Tou help him block the long arrow attack.

When it comes to defense, that's naturally Stone's forte.

Once the white object entered its protective range, several layers of protection were immediately added to it.

The long arrow struck the defensive spell cast by the stone, but only broke through the first layer of light barrier before being blocked by a stone wall behind it.

This arrow was truly insidious and vicious.

After crashing into the stone wall, it instantly exploded into countless blood-red rays that struck the stone wall. The blood-red rays carried a strong power of filth, instantly leaving the stone wall riddled with holes and in a terrible state.

It's not hard to imagine how terrible the result would be if this arrow were to hit one's flesh.

Seeing this, Ge Changsheng, the "White-Haired Blood Demon" who had failed to hit his target, frowned and temporarily put down the white bone longbow in his hand. He then formed hand seals and quickly spread his five fingers, raising his hand to unleash a blood-red beam of light at Zhou Chun.

The crimson beam of light struck the earthen-yellow protective shield erected by the stone, instantly piercing a hole in it. It then powerfully struck the black protective shield surrounding Zhou Chun, causing it to shake violently and revealing faint cracks.

This power surpasses many third-tier high-grade spells, clearly indicating that this is an extremely powerful Blood Bone Sect secret technique.

Zhou Chun also realized how troublesome this "white-haired blood demon" was.

If compared to the strength of "Corpse Fiend General" Jiang Zhong, if I wanted to kill him, I would probably have to use all my strength and let him use the [Heavenly Divine Thunder] twice in vain before I could kill him.

And that's only a possibility!

If the opponent has some powerful secret techniques or magical artifacts to protect them, it's not entirely impossible for them to block or avoid the bombardment of the [Heavenly Divine Thunder].

In that case, not only would all his cards be exposed, but he might also gain nothing, which would be a huge loss.

Therefore, Zhou Chun had not yet decided whether or not to do that.

He glanced at the overall situation on the battlefield. Overall, the Heavenly Spirit Legion still held a firm advantage, as their numerical superiority was already quite obvious.

In this way, it seems that even if Zhou Chun and the "White-Haired Blood Demon" Ge Changsheng are evenly matched, it will not have any adverse effect on their own situation.

This made him even more determined to keep his true intentions hidden.

Therefore, in the ensuing battle, Zhou Chun and his two spirit pets adopted a defensive strategy, engaging in a counter-attack battle against their opponents.

It must be said that with Zhou Chun's current magical artifact configuration, plus the presence of the Golden Armor Mountain-Bearing Turtle Stone, if he chooses to play defensively, it would be very difficult for anyone in the Purple Mansion stage to pose any fatal threat to him.

No matter how powerful Ge Changsheng, the "White-Haired Blood Demon" he faced, was, with his superior cultivation, exquisite magical artifacts, and numerous secret techniques, he was like a mouse trying to pull a turtle when facing his all-out defense. He had no way to break through Ge Changsheng's defenses.

"Young man, aren't you very arrogant? I heard you came to the battlefield to compete for a place among the 'Seven Heroes of Heavenly Spirits.' Is this how you plan to compete, hiding in a tortoise shell?"

After failing to break through Zhou Chuncheng's defenses for a long time, "White-Haired Blood Demon" Ge Changsheng became furious and started verbally attacking him in between his attacks.

However, Zhou Chun completely ignored his insults and sarcasm, acting as if he hadn't heard anything he said.

I had already made up my mind to just let things drag on like this.

As it turned out, Zhou Chun's approach was very wise.

Because just after he and "White-Haired Blood Demon" Ge Changsheng had been fighting for three quarters of an hour, more reinforcements from both sides joined the battlefield. There was even a demonic cultivator who was among the "Seven Fiends of the Primordial Demons" and a cultivator from the Heavenly Spirit Legion who had once served as one of the "Seven Heroes of Heavenly Spirit" for a period of time. The two quickly clashed and started a great battle.

If Zhou Chun had used his ultimate move to kill "White-Haired Blood Demon" Ge Changsheng, he would have been in extremely poor condition and likely would have become a key target of the Yuan Demon Legion. Perhaps even the demon cultivator ranked among the "Seven Yuan Demon Fiends" would have come to kill him.

Thus, after nearly an hour of intense fighting, the lower and middle-level cultivators on both sides had exhausted their magical power due to the fierce battle and had to adopt a retreat and defensive strategy.

According to past practice, both sides would likely withdraw their troops and return to their camps, resuming the battle on another day.

Zhou Chun was also severely depleted of his mana at this point and didn't want to waste any more energy on his opponent.

So Lei Mang immediately used his meager mana to unleash a powerful "Heavenly Thunder Slash" to launch a fierce counterattack, which caused Ge Changsheng's arrogance to vanish and he hurriedly withdrew his strength to defend.

He then took the opportunity to have the stone retreat towards the area where his own army was retreating.

At the same time, he didn't forget to utter a harsh threat: "Today is not the time for us to fight to the death. I'll take your head, you old devil, another day when I'm in full health!"

Upon hearing his words, "White-Haired Blood Demon" Ge Changsheng immediately understood his meaning.

The man glared at Zhou Chun with resentment for a few moments, but ultimately decided against pursuing him rashly. Instead, he sneered, "Do you think I'd be afraid of a junior like you? If I run into you again, I'll take your dog's life!"

As he spoke, he retreated to the area where his own army had retreated.

In fact, although his cultivation level was one small realm higher than Zhou Chun's and his magical power was much deeper, the fierce battle had continued until now, and facing the attacks of Zhou Chun and his two servants, his own magical power was also running low.

Under these circumstances, he knew in his heart that it was impossible to defeat Zhou Chun, who was determined to retreat.

Before long, both sides retreated back to their own formations, then took pills to restore their mana while watching the battle between the Golden Core cultivators and some Purple Mansion cultivators.

Zhou Chun's focus was naturally still on that fellow cultivator who had once been among the "Seven Heroes of Heavenly Spirits".

In the sky, a man in blue robes was surrounded by blue light, with a blue-green pearl protecting him above his head. As he made hand seals, he would release bolts of blue lightning to strike his opponent.

This person is named Lin Qingxuan. He is a core disciple of the Qingmu Sect in Cheng Kingdom. The strength of the Qingmu Sect is similar to that of the Yanyang Sect, and it has two Nascent Soul stage cultivators in charge.

It is said that this person not only possesses a superior spiritual root aptitude, but is also a natural [Yi Wood Spirit Body]. After successfully establishing his foundation, he mastered the innate divine power of "Yi Wood Divine Light".

Combined with his top-tier cultivation technique, the "Yi Wood True Scripture," he could easily defeat ordinary late-stage Purple Mansion cultivators with just his "Yi Wood Divine Light" supernatural power.

The technique he used at this moment was the legendary "Wood Divine Thunder," a branch of the "Five Elements Divine Thunder," which also had a restraining effect when dealing with demonic cultivators.

However, although Lin Qingxuan was powerful, his opponent was even stronger.

The person who fought Lin Qingxuan was Yin Shaotian, a demonic cultivator from the Yin Ghost Sect. He looked very young, about the same age as Zhou Chun, but his temperament was sinister and unlike Zhou Chun's sunny disposition.

This person, also known as the "Prince of the Underworld," has been in the position of "Seven Fiends of the Primordial Demons" for more than two years.

This person was now commanding three third-tier high-grade ghost generals with different supernatural powers, surrounding Lin Qingxuan in a "品" (pin) shape.

When Lin Qingxuan unleashed his "Yi Wood Divine Lightning," it only caused the ghost generals to grimace slightly before they were able to withstand it. It wasn't exactly painless, but it certainly didn't cause any serious injury.

These three ghost generals either spewed eerie green ghost fire, or sprayed pitch-black poisonous water, or wielded steel forks and sharp blades as their vanguard; their supernatural abilities were all quite formidable.

Furthermore, the "Netherworld Prince" Yin Shaotian himself would occasionally use the secret techniques of the Yin Ghost Sect to attack and interfere with Lin Qingxuan, preventing him from fully dealing with the three-headed ghost general.

After watching for a while, Zhou Chun had to admit that this person's strength was probably the strongest Purple Mansion Demon Cultivator he had ever seen.

"Yin Shaotian's methods are indeed formidable. If I were to face him now, unless he were to be careless and underestimate his opponent, getting hit by Bai Bai's [Heavenly Divine Lightning], or being frozen by the 'Heavenly Frost Frost Bee's' chilling aura, killing him would be virtually impossible!"

He thought to himself, and also perked up to watch the game.

After all, he might very well face off against this "Prince of the Underworld" in the future, so it would be great to learn more about the supernatural abilities of this potential opponent now.

As Zhou Chun watched, he realized that if Lin Qingxuan could not kill the three-headed ghost general, even if they kept at it, Yin Shaotian could easily wear him down!

Therefore, it can be seen that even if Yin Shaotian lacks a powerful means like the [Heavenly Divine Thunder] to kill the enemy in one blow, he is still among the strongest in the Purple Mansion stage in a war of attrition, and can wear down many enemies of similar strength.

Fortunately, both sides are currently on a battlefield, not in a desolate wilderness.

Even if Lin Qingxuan is no match for Yin Shaotian, he cannot be killed by him.

After the two fought for a long time, Lin Qingxuan, feeling his magic power was insufficient, suddenly threw out three cyan lightning beads at the three-headed ghost general.

Then, taking advantage of the opportunity while the three-headed demon general was resisting the explosion of the lightning orb, he suddenly used the Wood Release technique and quietly escaped the encirclement.

Immediately afterwards, this person also flew back to the place where his own army had retreated, and like Zhou Chun, took pills to restore his magical power.

Upon seeing this, Yin Shaotian, in a triumphant manner, led his three-headed ghost general to the Heavenly Spirit Legion for a stroll, where he mocked Lin Qingxuan and Zhou Chun.

After he had aroused enough hatred, he triumphantly returned to the demon army amidst the cheers and jeers of the demonic cultivators.

For several days afterward, both armies fought fiercely on this plain.

Zhou Chun also fought against "White-Haired Blood Demon" Ge Changsheng several times.

Having already decided to hold back for the time being, even though he could defeat the demon Ge Changsheng in his prime, he did not use his true trump card to kill him.

In every battle between Lin Qingxuan and Yin Shaotian, Lin Qingxuan was still suppressed by Yin Shaotian, but he managed to hold him back, preventing Yin Shaotian from freeing up his hands to kill the other Purple Mansion cultivators on his side.

With these powerful cultivators tied down, the fighting among the other Purple Mansion stage cultivators on both sides was extremely fierce, with considerable casualties every day.

After seven days of fierce fighting, with one Golden Core cultivator from each side having perished, the battle finally ended in a draw, and the fighting ceased.

In this battle, Zhou Chun killed six enemy cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage, including the renowned late-stage Purple Mansion demonic cultivator Xu Qinglin, known as the "Snake Demon." He naturally took the lead among Purple Mansion cultivators and made the greatest contribution.

In addition, he restrained Ge Changsheng, the "White-Haired Blood Demon," an old demon who was once among the "Seven Fiends of the Primordial Demons," preventing him from killing other cultivators on his side. His achievement was comparable to killing a late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator.

Therefore, when the rewards were distributed after the war, he received a very high honor.

"After this, young friend Zhou, your name will surely resound throughout the entire army once again, and your battle merits will rank among the top twenty Purple Mansion stage cultivators, making you a true dark horse with the potential to compete for the 'Seven Heroes of Heavenly Spirit'!"

Inside the main hall, after reviewing the statistics of everyone's battle achievements, Wei Yong quickly summoned Zhou Chun and praised his performance highly.

However, Zhou Chun did not show any joy in the face of Wei Yong's praise. Instead, he bowed and said, "Commander, you are wise. I have a request!"

"Oh, what do you want to say?"

Wei Yong was slightly taken aback, then looked at Zhou Chun with a curious expression.

Under his gaze, Zhou Chun calmly said in a deep voice, "After this great battle, I realized that my true strength is still somewhat lacking compared to figures like Yin Shaotian. Therefore, I wish to obtain a pill that can help me break through the barrier of my cultivation realm and reach the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm as soon as possible!"

At this point, Zhou Chun added firmly, "If I can break through to the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm, I will be confident that I can personally kill demonic cultivators like 'White-Haired Blood Demon' Ge Changsheng on the battlefield!"

"Hmm, you're right. You are indeed at a disadvantage compared to those people in terms of cultivation!"

Wei Yong nodded thoughtfully, seemingly agreeing with Zhou Chun's words.

After a moment's thought, he quickly looked at Zhou Chun and said, "I am aware of this matter. With your current achievements, it shouldn't be difficult for me to apply for a pill to help you break through the barrier of your cultivation realm. You should return to your camp and await further news!"

"Thank you, Commander. I'll take my leave now!"

Zhou Chun was overjoyed and quickly thanked him before leaving the main hall.

After he had walked away, Wei Yong looked out of the hall and smiled faintly, saying, "No wonder Master Uncle wanted to help trick Qingweizi back then. This kid really knows how to seize opportunities and climb the ladder. He's only just made some contributions, and he's already thinking about turning them into something that can enhance his strength. I'm really looking forward to seeing how he performs in the future!"

On the other side, Zhou Chun, having received Wei Yong's verbal consent, returned to his brigade's base with a joyful heart.

He came to the battlefield partly to exchange for pills through the Heavenly Spirit Legion's channels to break through the barrier of the late Purple Mansion realm.

His previous hard work on the battlefield was precisely a prelude to this.

The fact that a cultivator at the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm could fight to a draw with a renowned old demon like "White-Haired Blood Demon" Ge Changsheng would certainly make Golden Core cultivators like Wei Yong who witnessed this expectantly for his strength after breaking through to the late-stage of the Purple Mansion realm, hoping that he could perform even better on the battlefield.

Once this expectation exists, his own achievements are already significant enough. If he makes a request, Wei Yong will certainly not refuse.

After all, he now works under Wei Yong, and every enemy he kills will have a share of the credit attributed to Wei Yong, the commander.

If he can truly become one of the "Seven Heroes of Heavenly Spirits," it would definitely be a very beneficial thing for Wei Yong.

With such a shared interest and the support of the Moon Wheel Cult, there was no reason for Wei Yong not to help him accomplish this!

"Once I get the pills, I will apply for seclusion to break through my cultivation level. Then, I will focus on cultivating the 'God-Slaying Technique' during my seclusion. It won't be too late to come out of seclusion after I have mastered this secret technique."

"By then, even if my trump card, the Heavenly Divine Thunder, is exposed, I'll still have another trump card to protect me!"

As Zhou Chun pondered his own plans, the more he thought about it, the more satisfied and happy he became.

Judging from the current situation, he definitely made the right decision to come to the battlefield.

Such a battlefield, where opportunities to make merit are everywhere, is indeed a treasure trove for him.

"Commander, the wounded brothers have all been taken care of. However, our battalion has suffered considerable casualties this time, and we're afraid you'll have to put in a lot of effort to replenish our manpower!"

Just as Zhou Chun returned to his post and was secretly pleased with his plan, Deputy Commander Cheng Zhiming came to report the situation, which immediately dampened his good mood.

In the previous major battle, Zhou Chun personally made great contributions, but the First Battalion he commanded also suffered heavy losses.

The team set off with a full complement of 500 people, but only 325 returned, including 32 people who had disabilities or whose foundations had been damaged and who needed to retire.

In addition, more than half of the injured were seriously injured.

This enormous loss is the first of its kind since he took office.

Although this was not due to his poor leadership, but rather a common phenomenon caused by the brutal war, it still made him feel a little uncomfortable.

After all, these people were his subordinates, and they had always followed his orders.

Even if he can't treat his soldiers like his own children, he should still bear some responsibility for them.

He replied in a low voice, "I understand. You go back and rest first. I'll go visit the wounded brothers later and do my best to treat their wounds!"

Hearing this, Cheng Zhiming was slightly taken aback, not expecting that a cultivator of the metal element would be able to heal others.

If it were Yue Feng here, he would definitely question and inquire about it.

However, Yue Feng himself is currently injured and is recuperating at his residence.

Cheng Zhiming, however, was only focused on following Zhou Chun's lead and naturally dared not question Zhou Chun in this way.

Therefore, even though he was curious, he immediately replied respectfully, "Yes, Your subordinate obeys."

The update is a bit late, but there's plenty of content!
