Chapter 374 - Fighting Shoulder to Shoulder
Upon hearing the three familiar voices, Su Zimo’s eyes shone brightly.
“It’s them?”
Tang Yu was slightly shocked.
The three of them were the cultivators that had followed Su Zimo into the city right from the start. Apart from the person called Ji Chengtian who was at six meridian Foundation Establishment, the other two were at four meridian Foundation Establishment.
Back then, Tang Yu thought it was a wise move for them to leave Xuantian City.
Given their cultivation realms, it was only a matter of time before they were killed by the thousand odd desperadoes if they had remained in Xuantian City.
However, Tang Yu did not expect that three out of the four people who had left would return!
The haughty man behind Tang Yu sneered, “They’ve returned to Xuantian City despite knowing that they would die. How stupid.”
Two six meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivators!
Both of them were only at four meridian Foundation Establishment when they left Xuantian City.
There was only a single possibility how the two of them advanced to six meridian Foundation Establishment in such a short period of time.
Like Su Zimo, both little fatty and Leng Rou broke through to five meridian Foundation Establishment during this period of time. Right after, they consumed the Meridian Unlocking Elixir and advanced to six meridian Foundation Establishment right away!
“Haha!”
A pair of spirit wings appeared behind Ji Chengtian as he soared into the air bursting with laughter – seven spirit meridians appeared imperceptibly beneath his robes.
Seven meridian Foundation Establishment!
Ji Chengtian had broken through as well!
Given Ji Chengtian’s endowment, he had a chance of breaking through to seven meridian Foundation Establishment in the ancient battlefield. However, there was no way that could be accomplished so quickly.
In other words, he made the same decision as little fatty and Leng Rou.
He consumed the Meridian Unlocking Elixir!
The three of them smiled at one another from the depths of their hearts.
The Meridian Unlocking Elixir was only effective when consumed for the first time and neither of them had intended to use it at their current cultivation realms.
However, all of them made the same decision to consume it for this battle without discussing or informing one another beforehand!
They gave up the chance of a high cultivation and abandoned their possibility of escaping just for this battle!
Su Zimo understood.
The moment he saw their return, he understood everything.
However, even though he was emotional and his lips were quivering at this moment, he could not say a single word.
“I’m here too!”
Suddenly, an honest-looking cultivator appeared on the battlefield. With a loud roar, he swung his metal rod and repelled two desperadoes!
“Silly Jian?”
Little fatty’s heart skipped a beat when he heard that voice as he turned in disbelief.
At this moment, all four of them who left Xuantian City had returned!
A warm feeling surged through Su Zimo’s heart when he saw that – his injuries no longer felt as painful.
There was no need for words or thanks.
Understanding the fact that the four of them had never left and returned to fight shoulder to shoulder with him during the most critical juncture was more than enough.
“Hahahaha!”
Finally, Su Zimo burst out into laughter.
Ji Chengtian was laughing, as was Leng Rou, as was little fatty, as was Shi Jian.
Amidst the flashing swords and entrapment, the five of them looked drenched and wretched. Yet, they were laughing wantonly in happiness from the bottom of their hearts.
Someone teared but in the blink of an eye, it was mixed with the rain and rolled down their cheek.
“Silly Jian, you said that you’re not silly, so why did you return?” Little fatty asked.
“I… got lost,” Shi Jian replied.
