Condemning the Heavens Chapter 476

Chapter 476: 476
The group of people began moving through the forest after observing the army vanishing in the distance .
Their mood was suddenly light and cheerful . Their faces were full of smiles, and they began talking, but although they were merry, they never relaxed their nerves .
They were alert and observant as they knew that they were deep in enemy territory .
Their journey did not encounter any problems; they encountered a few small villages but stayed away from them .
They were entering deeper into enemy territory, and from time to time, they would encounter marks and signs of battle, but they had not experienced any skirmishes themselves yet .
The land did not resemble a battlefield . It was relaxed and calm; the atmosphere was fresh and full of excitement as the farmers began harvesting their crops . To them, the war was nothing more than a subject talked about over the dinner table .
Although some soldiers would ravage the places they fought, most people would not go against the villagers . Not only because they were cultivators and the villagers were mortals, but it was against the moral and ethical values of real experts .
There were naturally some who did not care about how a cultivator ought to behave, but even they had no interest in ordinary villagers . They had nothing that could catch their eyes, and ravaging their places, razing it to the ground would gain them nothing .
As such, the villagers were safe in their locations, but there were always exceptions, which was also why the first village acted the way they did when Xue Wei and his friends arrived .
Suddenly, as they were moving through a lush field of grass, the sound of clashing weapons could be heard in the distance, accompanied by energy fluctuations in the air . Someone was fighting .
They hurried to follow the sounds, while being highly alert, only to find that a small group of experts was fighting it out close to a river .
Three corpses lay on the ground, and seven men were fighting on the riverbank .
If not for them wearing bracelets of different colors, it would be impossible to see the difference between who worked for the Demon Phoenix Continent, and who was on the side of the Xiyang Continent .
The Demon Phoenix Continent experts were in dire straits . They had lost two men, while the opponents had merely lost one . While it was not a massive difference, it was enough to cause problems for the men of the Demon Phoenix Continent, and Xue Wei hurried over to participate in the battle .
When Xue Wei and his friends engaged in the fight, the Xiyang Continent's soldiers instantly collapsed, some tried to flee, but they were quickly disposed of .
After this, they hurried from one end of the continent to the other, and they managed to help out a large group of men who were in a bad position . They did not help those who were doing okay but just observed their fight .
There was a bad habit on the battleground that people would steal each other's points, and as a result, many were guarded, not only against their enemies but also against their own people .
Xue Wei understood this, and he had never planned on stealing other's points . He had never cared about the points, all he wanted was a battlefield, but it was only after traveling far and wide that he could find someone to fight .
He was starting to feel rather depressed . Perhaps joining the war was not the right decision . While they did advance in cultivation, it was at a normal speed, and the closest they had gotten to a real fight was the rescue mission for the Vermilion Birds .
Although the small skirmishes also existed, they were not challenging enough, and soon they started trying out various gambles . Sometimes they fought two and three against five, other times, they fought one against three . Although they never fought all of them together, they always observed and kept it under control .
If any of their friends got seriously wounded they would be able to step in right away .
The one who grew the most was Luoluo . She had increased her powers recently . They had grown much rapidly, but now she was able to get control over her rise in power . She was able to use the least amount of energy to get the most effect out of it .
Bai Tianyi had also benefitted dramatically from the fights where they had fought one against many .
He and Luoluo had gained much soul power during the Vermilion Bird rescue mission, and their strength had soared as soon as the soul power had been refined into spiritual energy . Most of the battles were reserved for them to get better control on the newfound power .
Hei Gou, Lin Xiao, and Xue Wei often stood by the side and observed the two spirits fighting with all their might .
They were here for the chances to fight, and thus they made the whole war into their own little game .
They understood the seriousness of the war and understood that while they could do this, there was also a chance that someone else could turn the tables around and execute all of them in a moment if they truly felt like it .
However, this was also another reason for them wanting to become much stronger .
As long as they were not the strongest people on the battlefield, they were always in danger . The common soldier like them was actually just cannon fodder . When a big battle started, they could be killed by a single thought by a King or Emperor ranked expert .
Sighing, Xue Wei felt the pressure . As long as the war was prolonged, there was a chance that it would end in one big battlefield again, and when that happened, they would need to be in their best shape, so that they could stay alive .
