No hope for eternal life

Chapter 364: Famous in Longhe

Two days later, at the Longhe battlefield, Mu Changsheng had just arrived and noticed that the Longhe River was dyed red with blood. The blood was rising to the sky and it was extremely tragic.

After reporting to the military camp, Mu Changsheng was also granted a temporary position as a centurion, commanding one hundred foundation-building cultivators and ten golden elixir cultivators.

This was not simply a good thing, because according to military camp regulations, if the casualties of his subordinates exceeded 30% after a battle, then the military merit he was supposed to have received would be reduced by 30%. If the casualties exceeded half, he would not have any military merit left at all.

Of course, there are advantages as well as disadvantages. As long as the casualties of his subordinates do not exceed 30%, he can get an additional 10% of all the military merits of his subordinates. A little bit adds up to a lot, which is still very considerable.

After entering the military camp, Mu Changsheng summoned his own team of 100 men, showed his identity token of a first-class sage, and warned everyone: "It is said that a new official will start with three fires. I don't have any fire here. I just want to tell you that if you follow me, you will have a greater chance of survival and your future will be more promising."

"A first-class sage, this is a first-class sage token."

"It's incredible. It is said that among the Nascent Soul cultivators, only a small number of them are qualified to be first-class sages."

Everyone was successfully shocked by Mu Changsheng's first-class wise man token, and believed what Mu Changsheng said. They felt that there was more hope by following Mu Changsheng.

"Physical cultivators, step out!" Mu Changsheng ordered.

"Shua swish..." More than a dozen figures stood out at the same time. They were all body-cultivating cultivators.

"You." Mu Changsheng pointed at one of the Jindan cultivators and said, "You and I can spar without using any mana. If you can beat me in punches and kicks, I will reward you with ten top-grade spirit stones."

The cultivator pointed at by Mu Changsheng was a captain of ten men, commanding ten foundation-building cultivators. At this moment, he was also tempted by Mu Changsheng's ten pieces of top-grade spirit stones, and immediately said: "Then I am offended."

After saying that, the centurion raised his fist and was about to attack Mu Changsheng, but was blocked by Mu Changsheng with one move and then his throat was locked.

After two moves, the winner was decided.

The centurion flattered him at the right moment: "Your Excellency is indeed a first-class wise man. I am willing to bow down to you."

"It's your turn. The rules and rewards are the same." Mu Changsheng pointed to another body cultivator.

In this way, Mu Changsheng easily defeated every body-cultivating cultivator present and truly achieved the effect of establishing his prestige.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng disbanded the team, leaving only the centurion who was good at observing people's words and expressions.

"What's your name?" Mu Changsheng asked.

"Han Ping."

"How often does a war break out here?" Mu Changsheng asked again. This was the topic he was really concerned about.

"Generally, there is a small fight every two months and a big fight every six months. There is still half a month before the next small fight and two and a half months before the next big fight." Han Ping answered with great discernment.

"Yeah." Mu Changsheng nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "Have both sides always been at peace?"

Han Ping shook his head and said, "Not really. The Dragon River is very large. Some cultivators from both sides will ambush in the Dragon River and hunt each other down. However, that is something that only the most skilled and daring people dare to do. Those who dare to hunt in the Dragon River are at least at the Nascent Soul stage, and there may even be Divine Transformation cultivators involved. It is extremely dangerous."

"A Jinhua cultivator?" Mu Changsheng frowned slightly. With his current strength, he could survive against a Yuanying cultivator, but he was really helpless against a Jinhua cultivator. After all, the gap in realm was too big.

"There is less than half a month left before the next war. Let's wait for the group battle to start. Group battles are safer." Mu Changsheng thought to himself. If he could gain enough military merits through group battles, he would naturally avoid taking risks.

During this half month, Mu Changsheng was not idle. He used the remaining 190,000 medium-grade spirit stones as capital and earned spirit stones through the means of refining talismans and carving formations. In total, he earned more than 3 million medium-grade spirit stones.

Three million mid-grade spirit stones may seem like a lot, but when converted into top-grade spirit stones, they are only about one hundred, which is not of much use to Mu Changsheng.

Afterwards, the small battle that was held every two months arrived as scheduled. The so-called small battle meant that both sides would only send out cultivators below the Spirit Transformation Realm.

This is undoubtedly good news for Mu Changsheng. At least he doesn't have to worry about his life.

The battle started. Mu Changsheng was arranged in the second echelon because it was his first time to participate in the battle. He could also observe the battlefield scene.

Most of the people on the battlefield are cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage. These cultivators can also be considered low-level soldiers. They form teams of ten and use battle formations to gather their strength on the decapitators. After being strengthened, the strength of each decapitator reaches the peak level of the Golden Core Stage.

Then the enemy and our team's decapitators attacked each other. These decapitators and their team members were connected in spirit, and they would prosper and suffer together. According to the military camp regulations, if the number of casualties exceeded 20%, they could voluntarily withdraw from the battlefield.

The scene looked intense, but Mu Changsheng frowned slightly, because both the enemy and us on the battlefield seemed very restrained, and the number of monks killed was extremely small. At this rate, it seemed unlikely to accumulate a large amount of military merit at once.

Not long after, it was the turn of Mu Changsheng's hundred-man team to go on the field. Under the leadership of ten centurions, the hundred-man team was divided into ten small teams. While killing the enemies, Mu Changsheng also had to take care of his ten small teams to avoid losing too many people and deducting his own military merits.

After arriving at the battlefield, Mu Changsheng quickly found his target, who was an enemy cultivator at the peak of the Jindan realm, and who looked like a centurion like himself.

"Five-finger palm thunder." Mu Changsheng mobilized the power of thunder in his body and struck out with all his strength. The lightning flashed and swept through the space at a high speed, hitting the enemy centurion.

Although the centurion reacted quickly, the gap between his strength and Mu Changsheng's was too great, and he could not escape death even if he defended with all his strength.

After the centurion's death, the hundred-man team he belonged to was in panic and was about to collapse. Mu Changsheng seized the opportunity and continuously shot out lightning from his palms, quickly reaping the lives of hundreds of people.

However, Mu Changsheng's powerful performance successfully attracted the attention of the enemy. Soon two Nascent Soul cultivators came and prepared to surround and kill Mu Changsheng.

"Just in time!" Mu Changsheng was not surprised but happy. The battle circle of these Nascent Soul cultivators was too far away from him. He was constrained by his hundred-man team and could not take the initiative to charge into the Nascent Soul battle circle. Now, he attracted two Nascent Soul cultivators at once, which was exactly what he wanted.

Mu Changsheng had not used formations and talismans before because he did not want to alert the enemy and scare away these early and middle Nascent Soul cultivators. Otherwise, none of the enemy's hundred-man team would have been able to escape.

At this moment, Mu Changsheng no longer had the need to hide. Two fourth-grade intermediate-level God-Slaying Formations respectively enveloped two Nascent Soul cultivators. One of them was in the early Nascent Soul stage, and the other was in the middle Nascent Soul stage.

The one in the early Nascent Soul stage had no power to resist the fourth-grade intermediate God-Slaying Formation and was easily refined to death.

As for the cultivator in the middle Nascent Soul stage, he only struggled a few more times but could not escape death.

This is the true power of the God-Slaying Formation. In the past, we had to face nearly invincible characters of the same level, which made the God-Slaying Formation seem ineffective.

After Mu Changsheng killed two Nascent Soul cultivators, it caused a complete sensation in Nanliang, because in this kind of small fight, the Nascent Soul stage is already the highest level of combat power. In previous small fights, the death of a Nascent Soul cultivator was considered a big loss, not to mention that this time two Nascent Soul cultivators died at the same time.
