Luo Chen felt extremely satisfied and casually kicked both Qin Hongmian and Mu Wanqing away at the same time.
With a gurgle, Qin Hongmian and Mu Wanqing rolled into a ball and hugged each other. If they weren't two women, the position would have looked rather ambiguous.
However, Luo Chen suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Hmm, although these two people were affected by the Loyalty Confusion Water, it might also have some effect on women, right?
Thinking of this, Luo Chen immediately commanded, "Why do you two, mother and daughter, insist that I save you? You can save each other!"
"Huh? Mutual rescue?"
Upon hearing Luo Chen's words, Qin Hongmian and Mu Wanqing were utterly ashamed.
In fact, when their loyalty was clouded by the chaos, they were not unaware of this possibility. However, even if they could think of it, putting it into practice would be another hurdle.
Most people really can't do that with women...
Moreover, even though the two of them are embracing each other right now, they can still maintain that sliver of rationality, not because of their gender, but because they are mother and daughter!
This... is simply unbearable to look at!
However, Luo Chen knew that the only difficulty in taking the first step was that, once they did, due to the effects of the Loyalty Chaos Water, if they discovered a way to alleviate the pain of the Loyalty Chaos Water, it would become uncontrollable, like a flood breaking through a dam.
Then, Luo Chen used the Demon King's will to force the two of them to take the first step.
"what!"
The scream came from Xin Shuangqing, who was watching this scene with her own eyes wide open, and she was almost moved by it herself.
Before we knew it, a day and a night had passed!
The effects of the Loyalty Chaos Water don't disappear so easily. Without Luo Chen's personal intervention to treat it, the discomfort caused by the Loyalty Chaos Water cannot be completely eliminated.
Mutual treatment like Qin Hongmian and Mu Wanqing can't cure the disease completely; at most, it can only provide temporary relief.
However, Luo Chen was very excited to see Qin Hongmian and Mu Wanqing, mother and daughter, healing each other, and Xin Shuangqing was finally beginning to fulfill her promise after learning.
Another day and night passed.
"Ding! Congratulations, host! Demon slave Xin Shuangqing's loyalty has increased by one point, reaching the maximum of ten points!"
Luo Chen pushed Xin Shuangqing, who was already exhausted, away, a hint of satisfaction on his face.
Then, he ordered Qin Hongmian and Mu Wanqing to come to him and asked, "You two little brats, do you need me to rescue you?"
"Yes! Yes!"
"Yes, I want it!"
Qin Hongmian and Mu Wanqing dared not delay and immediately nodded repeatedly, saying they would.
"Hahaha! If you want it, then crawl over to me like two little bitches!" Luo Chen laughed loudly.
Chapter 295 I Can Shift Stars and Change Space
As the sun sets in the west and rises in the east, two days and two nights quickly pass.
"Ding! Congratulations, host! The loyalty of the demon slave Qin Hongmian has increased by one point, reaching the maximum of ten points!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host! The loyalty of the demon slave Mu Wanqing has increased by one point, reaching the maximum of ten points!"
As the system's ethereal voice echoed in Luo Chen's mind, the effects of the chaotic water on Qin Hongmian and Mu Wanqing's loyalty finally disappeared.
The two women slumped against Luo Chen like two puddles of mud, having forgotten how to resist and learned to accept whatever he did to them.
Just then, the cultivation rewards for the mother and daughter duo arrived.
Suddenly, a powerful cultivation force surged wildly within Luo Chen's body, spreading throughout his entire body in just a moment. Luo Chen's cultivation level immediately saw a significant improvement!
Luo Chen's entire body felt as hot as flames. He immediately sat cross-legged and controlled his cultivation to slowly break through the shackles of the early stage of the Core Formation Realm.
At this moment, Luo Chen was almost completely unguarded, and if someone were to launch a sneak attack, it would be very easy for them to succeed.
However, both Qin Hongmian and Mu Wanqing were barely breathing and had no strength left. The perfect opportunity to launch a sneak attack was right in front of them, but they were unable to seize it.
hum~
After an unknown amount of time, a slight sound suddenly came from Luo Chen's body, as if something had broken. Then, Luo Chen felt his strength suddenly increase by more than ten times!
"Wow! Is this the power of a mid-stage Core Formation Realm cultivator?"
Luo Chen moved his body and unleashed the power of his newly acquired mid-stage Core Formation Realm cultivation, which felt incredibly exhilarating!
At that moment, the instant Luo Chen unleashed his mid-stage Core Formation realm power, Mu Wanqing's delicate brows furrowed, her cheeks turned pale, and her small mouth reflexively opened as she screamed.
Luo Chen has finally achieved his goal of advancing to the mid-stage of the Core Formation Realm. If he were to encounter Murong Fu again now, he would certainly not be at a disadvantage!
With his own strength and the domineering power of the Sun Demon Cloak, Luo Chen was confident that he could defeat Murong Fu!
"Now that I've mastered the Shifting Stars technique, all I need is the Six Meridians Divine Sword to activate the host's transformation ability. Then I'll activate the thousands of tentacles, enter the Demon King's Space, and gather all the demon slaves. Tsk tsk, that would be incredibly awesome!"
Thinking of this, Luo Chen couldn't wait to obtain the martial arts manual of the Six Meridians Divine Sword.
Although the warrior from the Western Xia Second Rank Hall had already returned to report to Duan Zhengchun, Luo Chen was naturally not foolish enough to wait for Duan Zhengchun and his group to arrive at the Wuliang Sword Sect.
What if Duan Zhengchun doesn't come? What if that warrior from the Western Xia Second Rank Hall slipped on dog poop and died? Wouldn't all our waiting have been for nothing?
So, Luo Chen put Qin Hongmian, Mu Wanqing and Xin Shuangqing into the Demon King's Space, then tidied his clothes and went down the mountain.
He planned to go to Tianlong Temple in Dali in person. In any case, that old bald monk Kurong must have the manual for the Six Meridians Divine Sword. So, instead of waiting here, he might as well go and get it himself!
Luo Chen took out the Flying Horse Skateboard and immediately shot out.
Two days later, Luo Chen heard some news from the martial arts practitioners along the way:
Mr. Congbian Su Xinghe posted an invitation to all martial arts practitioners to play chess, saying that he would give away a treasure!
As a result, many martial arts practitioners rushed to explore this so-called Zhenlong Chess Game, hoping to try their luck and see if they could gain any benefits.
Upon receiving this news, Luo Chen immediately felt that this was something worth trying, since he knew how to solve the Zhenlong Chess Game.
Moreover, he gained Wu Yazi's lifelong power for free. Why not take advantage of such a benefit and let that idiot Xu Zhu benefit from it?
So, Luo Chen changed his plans and arrived at the Zhenlong Chess Game two days later.
When Luo Chen arrived, a large number of martial arts figures had already gathered outside the stone cave. Ding Chunqiu was trying to solve the Zhenlong Chess Game, but he had no clue whatsoever. Instead, he was bewildered by the game itself.
Everyone watched Ding Chunqiu break the formation with great tension.
The people weren't worried about whether Ding Chunqiu would get into trouble, but rather whether the game would be broken. If it were, then Ding Chunqiu would take all the benefits!
Kumārajīva, watching from the side, was even more anxious. His cultivation had already reached the peak of the mid-stage of the Core Formation Realm, and he only needed an opportunity to advance to the late-stage of the Core Formation Realm. At this moment, he became anxious, fearing that Ding Chunqiu would snatch the benefits.
Kumārajīva immediately stepped forward to drive Ding Chunqiu away. Seeing this, the others didn't understand what was happening and didn't stop Kumārajīva.
But at that moment, Luo Chen suddenly moved and blocked Kumārajīva's path.
"Wait a minute! Are you and Ding Chunqiu on good terms?"
Luo Chen raised his hand and blocked Kumārajīva's path.
The sudden appearance of Luo Chen startled everyone slightly!
Everyone knows how powerful Kumārajīva is, yet this young boy dares to stop him; he's simply courting death!
Of course, everyone also admired Luo Chen's courage!
"Huh? Where did you come from, you brat? Take this Flaming Blade!"
Upon seeing this, Kumārajīva assumed that Luo Chen was with Ding Chunqiu and had come to protect him. He immediately channeled his cultivation, gathered his palm power, and unleashed a flaming blade at Luo Chen!
Although Luo Chen has only just entered the mid-stage of Core Formation, with the protection of the Sun Demon Cloak, he can ignore 50% of the attack damage from a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator. Therefore, once Luo Chen enters the mid-stage of Core Formation, his true overall strength will surpass the peak of the mid-stage Core Formation!
Luo Chen raised his hand in a palm strike, but just as his palm was about to collide with the flaming blade, a sudden idea struck him. "Damn it, haven't I already mastered the 'Star Shift' technique? Why bother with this idiot?" Instantly, Luo Chen drew a circle to his left and right, then another with his right hand. He then activated the "Star Shift" technique, catching the flaming blade's ethereal internal energy with one palm, channeling it into his body, and after a chaotic jumble of movements, slamming it out with his other hand! ...
Chapter 296 Killing Ding Chunqiu
The powerful, ethereal internal energy of the Flaming Blade suddenly surged towards Kumārajīva.
"The stars have changed!"
Kumārajīva was shocked and immediately mobilized his inner strength again, unleashing the ethereal inner force of the Flaming Blade once more, clashing with the attack that Luo Chen had turned around to use.
"Who is Murong Fu of Gusu to you?"
Kumārajīva restrained his aura, stopped attacking, and demanded an explanation.
Seeing that Kumārajīva had stopped, Luo Chen did not continue the pursuit. He laughed and said, "You're smart enough to know what's good for you. That Murong Fu is my long-lost, foolish son!"
Foolish son?
Upon hearing this, Kumārajīva's expression turned strange, and he almost laughed, but he knew that Luo Chen was obviously cursing Murong Fu, so he didn't say anything more.
"I don't care whether Murong Fu is your son or your grandson, but why are you helping Ding Chunqiu? If Ding Chunqiu gets all the benefits, I won't let you off the hook!"
Then, Kumārajīva spoke again.
"Haha, I'm helping that idiot Ding Chunqiu, you almost helped him. Come here, look at this idiot, he's completely lost in this game now. Such a good opportunity, instead of taking the chance to give him a slap, you're trying to wake him up, aren't you stupid?"
Luo Chen stepped aside and then pointed to Ding Chunqiu's side.
Luo Chen remembered that in the original work, Ding Chunqiu was so engrossed in the game of chess that he couldn't pull himself out until he was unintentionally disturbed by Kumārajīva.
Kumārajīva's eyes narrowed slightly. He had considered taking the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on Ding Chunqiu, but since Ding Chunqiu was no pushover, if the sneak attack failed, he would definitely incur the wrath of the Xingxiu Sect. In that case, Kumārajīva would certainly not be able to break this game with peace of mind today.
At that moment, Kumārajīva heard that Ding Chunqiu was engrossed in the game of chess. Did that mean he was unprepared? This was indeed a perfect opportunity for a sneak attack!
Of course, just to be on the safe side, Kumārajīva asked again, "Young hero, how can you be sure that Ding Chunqiu is truly engrossed in the game of chess, and not just pretending?"
"Hahaha! Do you even need to confirm that? Look, I've been calling Ding Chunqiu a complete idiot. Do you think he wouldn't come after me if he could hear me?"
Luo Chen sneered, then pointed at Ding Chunqiu and burst into laughter.
“That makes sense! Ding Chunqiu, since you’ve left your defenses wide open, don’t blame me, Kumārajīva, for taking advantage of your vulnerability!”
Instantly, Kumārajīva condensed a flaming blade and attacked Ding Chunqiu.
"Master, wake up! Someone is attacking you!"
Ding Chunqiu's three most capable disciples, Zhaixingzi, Shihouzi, and Chuchenzi, flew towards Ding Chunqiu at the same time, trying to wake him up.
But in that instant, Luo Chen suddenly shifted his body to the side, flipped his hand, and the Hunting Slave Whip appeared in his hand, which he then lashed out with a sudden movement!
Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
With one whip, three lashes rang out, instantly sending all three of them into the Demon King's space.
At the same time, Kumārajīva's flaming blade struck Ding Chunqiu squarely in the back, and with a bang, the powerful internal force sent Ding Chunqiu flying.
"puff!"
Ding Chunqiu coughed up a mouthful of blood and rolled a long way like a gourd. He struggled to raise his head and looked at Kumārajīva angrily, saying, "Kumārajīva, I have no grudge against you recently or in the past. Why did you attack me?"
"Hmph! Anyone who tries to take this treasure from me, Kumārajīva, must die!"
Since he had already gone too far, Kumārajīva stopped hiding his true intentions and directly stated his bottom line.
Ding Chunqiu looked at the situation before him. He was already seriously injured. If he did not find a secluded place to heal himself in time, it would probably cause irreversible damage.
So he decided to stop arguing; saving his own life was the priority. He then looked at Luo Chen coldly and said, "This young hero has come up with a good plan. I'll remember it! I won't fight you today. Xingxiu Sect disciples, come with me!"
Having said that, Ding Chunqiu suppressed his internal injuries, trying not to let anyone see how serious they were, and prepared to leave.
When Kumārajīva saw that his attack had failed to kill Ding Chunqiu completely, he did not press him any further.
After all, Ding Chunqiu's skills in the Dissolving Power Technique and the Continuous Corpse-Rotting Technique are quite terrifying. If he is pushed too far, it may lead to a backlash before his death!
Ding Chunqiu glanced at Luo Chen coldly, knowing no one would dare to provoke him, then gave Luo Chen another vicious look before turning to leave.
Originally, Luo Chen didn't want to stop him. Anyway, even if this guy was at his peak, Luo Chen wasn't afraid of him. Let him go wherever he wanted.
But the next moment, Luo Chen suddenly saw a beautiful woman in purple among the disciples of the Xingxiu Sect.
This young girl was beautiful and charming, dressed in purple, with a graceful figure and a snow-white, oval face. Her large, dark eyes were bright and intelligent, and she had a clever and mischievous air about her. She was petite and delicate, with beautiful eyebrows and bright eyes, fair skin, and an absolutely stunning appearance.
Ah Zi!
The moment Luo Chen saw A Zi, his lust was aroused, and he was instantly unable to move.
However, if Luo Chen were to grab A Zi and shower her with kisses in front of so many people, although no one could stop him, it would seem like he was being too hasty.
Then, a thought flashed through Luo Chen's mind, and he sneered: "Haha, you old idiot, still calling yourself an old immortal, you old bastard, aren't you ashamed! Look at you, you're already half a breath away and you still dare to threaten me, do you think you can get away with this?"
Luo Chen didn't hesitate and immediately threw a punch, smashing it directly into Ding Chunqiu's old bastard face.
"Boy, how dare you!"
