Since the Yue Lang Immortal Pavilion attacked Gu Dao City, the two sides have been engaged in fierce battles.
At the border, intense combat occurred daily.
Fortunately, the battles were not without rules.
Points were awarded only for kills within the same realm or for killing an opponent from a higher realm.
If a higher-level martial artist killed a lower-level one, no points were awarded.
This arrangement meant that higher-level martial artists generally did not initiate attacks on lower-level ones.
Qin Han Chu and the other three arrived at the border as quickly as possible and accepted a mission to eliminate enemy forces.
To foster intense combat between martial artists from both sides, the two factions had opened up an alternate world battlefield at the border.
This meant that martial artists from both sides could engage in combat at the border or venture into the alternate world battlefield to fight.
As soon as they exited the mission hall, Qin Han Chu and the other three spotted four familiar faces.
These four were Xiaolin's team.
In addition to the four they had met before, their team had gained two new members.
Clearly, these two were their new teammates.
"Is the escort mission over?"
Xiaolin had previously sent a message to Qin Han Chu and the other three.
Due to their escort mission, the four had politely declined Xiaolin's invitation to team up.
It was fate that Qin Han Chu and the other three encountered them just as they had accepted a mission.
"Yes, we came right after finishing."
Qin Han Chu replied.
"Interested in teaming up?"
"With all ten of us, it will be safer."
Xiaolin asked.
Qin Han Chu glanced at Axiang and the other two.
"We can."
"But how will we divide the spoils of war with so many of us?"
Axiang first agreed to the team-up request, then inquired about the division of spoils.
Other spoils of war were manageable, but the most important were points.
On the battlefield, every martial artist from both sides possessed a special token.
The tokens differed for each realm, such as Immortal King and Immortal Venerate.
Martial artists could exchange the tokens obtained from killing enemies for points.
"We will keep them collectively, convert them into law crystals, and then distribute them."
"Our two groups will split fifty-fifty!"
As soon as Xiaolin finished speaking, one of her teammates said displeasedly, "We have six people, why should we split fifty-fifty with them?"
The two new members were unaware that Qin Han Chu possessed a "High-grade Immortal Artifact," which is why they believed Qin Han Chu's group was not qualified for a fifty-fifty split.
Xiaolin, however, knew the strength of Qin Han Chu's group, which was why she proposed a fifty-fifty split.
"I have my reasons for doing this."
"Let's just say they are worth the price."
Xiaolin did not reveal Qin Han Chu's circumstances, thereby keeping his secret.
"The three of us support Xiaolin's decision."
The three martial artists who knew Qin Han Chu's group spoke up.
The two newly joined members were intelligent.
Since Xiaolin and her four teammates were willing to forfeit their own interests, it indicated that Qin Han Chu's group indeed possessed extraordinary abilities.
After a moment of thought, the two no longer objected.
Qin Han Chu's group's value would become apparent during combat.
If they were not worth the price, it would still be possible to part ways later.
A new alliance contract was signed, and the two teams temporarily merged.
That afternoon, all ten of them entered the alternate world battlefield together.
The battlefield's area was no less than that of the Lu Xian Realm; even if tens of thousands of people were fighting, it would not feel crowded.
Qin Han Chu's group of ten gathered, then headed southeast together.
A few hours later, six enemy martial artists flew towards them.
All six were at the Immortal Venerate level.
Qin Han Chu's group of ten quickly changed direction, trying to avoid a head-on confrontation with the six.
Although killing lower-level opponents from a higher realm yielded no rewards, there was no guarantee that someone wouldn't attack to seize resources.
While the law crystals of the Immortal King realm were not abundant, accumulating them through plunder could amount to a significant sum.
If the opponents pursued them, Qin Han Chu's group of ten would have no choice but to flee for their lives.
Seeing the six fly away, the group breathed a sigh of relief.
An hour later, an eleven-person team approached them.
Xiaolin looked at Qin Han Chu, "Go for it?"
"Let's make a swift decision!"
"You guys tie up the others, we, as a couple, will take down one of them first."
The contract Qin Han Chu had signed with the other party included a confidentiality clause, allowing Qin Han Chu to use the Mu Qing Sword.
As long as they were thorough and eliminated all witnesses, the secret of the top-grade Immortal Artifact would remain unknown to others.
Now, not only did Qin Han Chu possess a top-tier Immortal Artifact, but Axiang also had one in her possession.
The two of them, working together, could instantly kill an enemy.
"Agreed, you two can take the person on the far right!"
With that said, both sides charged towards their opponents.
Under Xiaolin's coordination, nine people directly engaged ten opponents.
It was at this moment that Qin Han Chu unleashed the Mu Qing Sword.
A terrifying sword move directly cleaved through the opponent's counterattack, then fiercely broke through their defenses.
This sight terrified the opposing martial artist!
Just as he was about to retreat, a beam of light suddenly pierced his heart from behind.
With a scream, his body was destroyed.
Immediately after, another beam of light pierced his skull.
His immortal infant was also severed!
In an instant, one opponent was eliminated.
While the opponents were still in shock, Qin Han Chu turned and swung his sword, directing immense power towards another individual.
The moment he made his move, Axiang followed suit.
Witnessing the death of his comrade, this enemy unleashed his full strength in terror.
Under his full exertion, he managed to block Qin Han Chu's attack.
However, Axiang's attack followed closely behind, once again shattering his defenses.
Qin Han Chu swung the Mu Qing Sword in his hand, sending another sword energy forward.
"Help me quickly!" With his defenses broken, the opponent had no time to gather his defenses against the fierce combined assault from Qin Han Chu and Axiang.
Without the protection of laws, his physical body was extremely vulnerable.
He needed to retreat temporarily and then gather new defenses to protect himself.
"Block them!" Xiaolin and the others immediately attacked with full force, intercepting their opponents.
Ah!
With a scream, Qin Han Chu's sword light split the opponent in two.
This continuous onslaught put a significant strain on Qin Han Chu.
He could no longer use the Mu Qing Sword and hastily drew the Life and Death Immortal Sword to join the fray.
"Top-tier Immortal Artifact!"
Not only the opponents, but Xiaolin and the others were also greatly shocked.
They had previously assumed Qin Han Chu's Mu Qing Sword was a high-grade Immortal Artifact.
But now they realized that Qin Han Chu's sword was a supreme-grade Immortal Artifact.
These were powerful Immortal Artifacts that only Immortal Gods were qualified to possess.
Once spotted by powerful enemies, they would surely resort to bullying the weak to seize them.
Initially, the enemy team had one more person than Qin Han Chu's team, but due to Qin Han Chu and Axiang's combined attack, the opponent had now lost two.
This meant that Qin Han Chu's team now had one more person than the opposing team.
The initial disadvantage had turned into an advantage.
Xiaolin's two new teammates finally understood Xiaolin's intention.
Although Qin Han Chu's team only had four members, their true combat strength was far greater than that of their six members.
