Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu-Chapter 437 - 253: Battle of the Twin Kings · Lost_2

```

It seemed that in his eyes, the killings in this world were nothing but a play, a game.

For the greater good, Chen Qing could casually give orders for genocide without even a frown, and next time, he definitely wouldn’t go soft.

A true leader should learn to control their opponent’s retreat and give them hope.

Coincidentally, Chen Qing had both.

Ji Dang understood all too well that he and Chen Qing were just pawns in a play staged by the great figures behind the scenes, and that their lives didn’t concern them much.

For the big players, it was nothing more than a play to watch for amusement while reaping some benefits.

What the big players wanted was victory, they wanted to win.

But he had no choice, he could only win, only triumph, to earn a place at the table and become a master behind the scenes of all living beings.

At this moment, someone suddenly arrived, "Your Highness, the war has started!"

Ji Dang nodded and picked up the bloodstained spear, once again stepping onto the dragon.

The war in the Central Plains continued, but the war between Chen Qing and Ji Dang was even more frequent, almost ceaseless.

They fought from the Central Plains to the northwest, and then from the northwest to the extreme north, where the snow floated.

At this time, both sides had a bit of regret, wondering why they had put all their resources into defense.

The only difference was that one had the Vajra Body and Undying Body, and the other had Divine Speed Evasion.

Of course, this wasn’t really their fault.

After all, in the wars of the same realm, excluding the situation where a higher realm cultivator directly crushed others, never dying was always the strongest.

As long as one didn’t die in a single war, their martial arts realm would constantly ascend, and their strength would continuously increase, thus always being undefeated.

And in such high-intensity combat, the martial arts realms of the soldiers on both sides continuously rose, and hundreds of Dharma Eye Realm soldiers had newly emerged.

This martial arts realm was already starting to match their commanding generals.

By this time, Chen Qing and Ji Dang both began to understand that once they won this battle, the entire Death Realm would be theirs.

After experiencing this deadly war, the army would be unstoppable!

Because every person under their command would become a hero!

This was after months of life and death trials, days and nights of relentless life and death trials.

Every day someone died in battle, every day was filled with incessant deadly battles, becoming numb for Chen Qing, Ji Dang, and their soldiers.

As if it were a path of martial arts training extended to the extreme.

After seven consecutive days of fierce fighting, Chen Qing slashed two Shen Sha Army members, finally achieving some results, and ordered a brief rest.

To be honest, Ji Dang was the most troublesome opponent Chen Qing had ever encountered.

Of course, this also had something to do with his strange composition of strength.

His defense was maxed, and he should have been a production-based cultivator.

Whether Emperor Earth or Sumeru King Gu, they were essentially production-system King Gus.

Only by supporting with his martial arts realm could he qualify to battle Ji Dang.

If he had an Attack and Conquest System King Gu, he would have slain Ji Dang long ago.

After many consecutive battles, Chen Qing also discovered that the King’s Aura on both him and Ji Dang was becoming increasingly strong.

"Perhaps this is a step that must be crossed on the road to kingship," he thought.

"If this battle ends hastily, how could it be worthy of the Six Dao Ghosts?"

Chen Qing reached out to the sky and suddenly sang a line of poetry without reason, "Bright as the moon, when shall I pick it?"

He had never felt the throne so close.

New ancient dragons descending, tens of thousands of Da Yan soldiers, now seemed like weeds to him.

After experiencing such a prolonged battle, he only felt that with a single charge, he could shatter the ridiculous confidence of the Da Yan Alliance.

Through continuous encounters with Ji Dang, Chen Qing’s understanding of martial arts also soared rapidly, and a plethora of memories became his instincts.

Every day he could clearly feel himself growing stronger, yet this prolonged war had yet to find an end.

Three years passed in a flash.

Compared to the death battles between Ji Dang and Chen Qing, the frequency of conflict on the Central Plains battlefield was much lower, as the Central Plains involved more people and the cultivators on both sides had a wide variety of tactics.

There were always extraordinary talents shining brightly on the battlefield.

As for Chen Qing and Ji Dang, they seemed to have become legends.

For these two overlords who dominated the world had not appeared in the eyes of the world for three years.

Only some Buddhist disciples who hadn’t participated in the war claimed they fought all the way to the end of the Death Realm.

As for anything else, there was no news because no cultivator who witnessed their battles could survive.

Their battlefield was no longer one that ordinary cultivators could witness, as merely seeing it meant death.

The Dragon Cavalry and Shen Sha Army would not spare any surrounding enemies, so they killed anyone they saw.

Ji Dang and Chen Qing seemed to have disappeared.

There were even rumors two years ago that Ji Dang and Chen Qing had perished together, never to return.

The Dragon race was spreading this rumor on a large scale, while Nanli’s side expressed disbelief.

The reason was simple, Nanli’s three leaders, Hu Yao, Xu Yaofeng, and Wushang, were all Chen Qing’s people.

And Dragon Palace and Da Yan were just alliances—now three ancient dragons had descended, taking advantage of Ji Dang’s absence to seize the authority of the allied forces.

Unfortunately, because it was highly probable that Chen Qing and Ji Dang’s battlefield was in the extreme north, Nanli’s side couldn’t send a large number of spies to pass the Da Yan Alliance Army to investigate the whereabouts of Ji Dang and Chen Qing.

In the extreme north, snow continued to fall, and ice rivers flowed.

This was a battlefield Ji Dang had long planned, maximally utilizing the Iron Horse Ice River.

It was also the key to his confidence in defeating Chen Qing.

In the fierce wind, Chen Qing sat in the snowstorm, grabbing a handful of snow and stuffing it into his mouth as food.

After three years of bitter fighting, he was cut off from Nanli, long without any supplies.

He could only scoop snow to chew on.

Even Chen Qing himself had not imagined that the battle would last this long.

Looking across at Ji Dang, not far away, Ji Dang was now full of white hair—the price of frantically using Gu insects of the cicada type.

If Chen Qing’s guess was correct, Ji Dang’s Life Span was running out.

Chen Qing looked at Xuan Mang beside him, whose whole body was covered with crisscross wounds, "Today, how many of us are left?"

Xuan Mang said, "Qing, one more knight died in battle yesterday, three hundred and fifty-seven riders remain."

Chen Qing nodded and then said, "Take out the last of the wine and meat, and rest a little more today."

"I have a feeling this war is about to end."

Gazing across, Ji Dang had two hundred and forty-two remaining, Chen Qing knew this number very well.

The numerical advantage came from the Dream Dragon Slaying Skill.

It was true that the Shen Sha Army had divine speed, but they still needed rest. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Every time they rested for a moment, Chen Qing would try his luck to see if he could slay one in his dreams.

Over the long period, he had slain many of the Shen Sha Army.

Ji Dang hadn’t failed to realize that ultimately Chen Qing would win.

Because the Undying Dragon Cavalry was too dominant.

The Undying Dragon Cavalry could be beheaded, could be gutted, but would not die.

However, if a Shen Sha Army soldier died in battle, it was indeed the death of one.

Yet if they left the extreme north, losing the advantage of the Iron Horse Ice River, the Shen Sha Army would only suffer casualties faster.

Moreover, upon discovering that Chen Qing could use the Dream Dragon Slaying Skill, Ji Dang further understood that he must suppress Chen Qing to end this war.

Otherwise, relying on the Dream Dragon Slaying Skill and the blood of the Shen Sha Army he collected, Chen Qing could kill them off one by one.

Thus, Ji Dang could only drag the battlefield further north, hoping for the more terrifying extreme cold to place greater restrictions on the Dragon Cavalry.

Opposite him, Ji Dang seemed to also have a tacit understanding, silently resting for almost a day.

At dawn the next day, Chen Qing tidied up his tattered robe and drew his sword again, this time using the first sword Gu he contracted.

The Spirit Sword had been completely shattered in three years of battle, with its Life Span burnt out.

This sword served merely as decoration, and couldn’t be used in real combat; now, Chen Qing and Ji Dang used fist skills in their fights.

Chen Qing swung the sword, pointing directly at the Shen Sha Army, and said softly, "This battle should end."

The snowstorm raged, not a single person spoke, yet even though Chen Qing spoke softly, his words still echoed through the world.
