Chapter 44
Feng Wuxie had also followed the distress signal, hoping to have a chance to get a share of the loot, but as soon as he saw Li Xiaobai, he immediately realized what was going on.
It was a trap; Li Xiaobai was using his treasure to move freely within the formation, conducting transactions with the numerous powerful figures.
And he had succeeded.
Thinking of Li Xiaobai’s bulging Space Ring, Feng Wuxie’s heart was ablaze with desire.
“I must find a way to kill him, then not only that supreme treasure but all of his resources will be mine!”
However, there was no opportunity at the moment, once outside, on the way to the Holy Demon Sect, there would be plenty of time to kill him.
This trip to the mountains had been immensely rewarding for him; advancing to the peak of the Golden Core Stage was not a problem at all, and if lucky, even reaching the threshold of the Nascent Soul Stage was possible.
With a cold glint flickering in his eyes, Feng Wuxie’s figure twisted and vanished into the jungle.
…
Before the formation, Li Xiaobai, with a radiant face, was accepting Space Rings handed over by the crowd.
These big shots were very cooperative, not only giving a substantial increase but also without any delay, promptly handing over their Space Rings.
Li Xiaobai thought to himself that if he were to give up so many resources, it would be better to be killed instead.
Big shots indeed, their courage and composure was something he could not compare to.
Having secured all eight Space Rings and checked them thoroughly, Li Xiaobai’s heart was about to leap from excitement.
Over ten thousand Upper Grade Spirit Stones, over ten thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones, innumerable Lower Grade Spirit Stones, thousands of strains of Spiritual Medicine, and all sorts of dazzling pearls and treasures, all shiny real gold and silver!
This was a windfall!
He had never imagined that swindling could be so profitable; the Spirit Stones had come so quickly that Li Xiaobai felt an unreal sensation, and in a daze, he saw the mount Godzilla from the shop beckoning to him.
He joyfully stored the Space Rings in his pouch.
Then turned around to sit down at the base of the Dragon Serpent Fruit Tree in the center of the formation, no longer paying attention to the crowd.
“Brother Fruit, what do you mean by this?”
“We’ve already presented our resources, is it not time to make the deal now?”
Elder Feng asked, feeling something was amiss ever since he handed over his Spirit Stones.
“Hmm? Deal? What deal?”
Li Xiaobai scratched the back of his head, with a face full of puzzlement.
At his words, the expression on everyone’s faces changed.
The thing they were most worried about had finally happened; the guy had eaten their offerings and was now going back on his word!
“We’ve already given you the heavenly treasures; surely Brother Fruit isn’t thinking of reneging?” Chen Kun said in a deep voice.
“Indeed, Brother Fruit, stop joking around, let’s conduct our trade properly.”
“Right…”
The crowd had confidently handed over their rings because they knew Li Xiaobai could only stay within the formation.
As long as they broke the formation, they could retrieve both the fruits and the rings in their totality, so they were not worried at all.
“Heh, don’t think I’m unaware of your plans; you clearly want to use these resources to lure me and my brother out and then capture us all at once, right?”
“My Dragon Serpent Fruit is the essence of heaven and earth; I see right through your petty schemes in a glance!”
Li Xiaobai’s expression turned stern, not mincing his words.
Now that his wallet was fat and his Spirit Stones were in abundance, the life-saving Divine Artifacts from the shop were within reach, and he had no fear of these so-called big shots.
A casual Thousand Mile Transmission Talisman would allow him to disappear without a trace in an instant.
“Heh heh, Brother Fruit, you can’t talk like that, we all have the spirit of a contract. Just trade with us earnestly, and once you get the fruit, we’ll immediately leave without lingering, how about that?”
Elder Feng continued speaking.
“Why talk so much with this guy? He clearly just wants to swindle us, a typical case of taking the money and not doing the work!”
“Let’s just break through this formation directly and see what he’s got to be arrogant about!”
Chen Kun had no such patience and summoned everyone, intending to forcefully break open the formation.
“Then go ahead and break the formation. Stop blabbering. If you really have the ability, let’s clash in the Slaughter Formation!”
Li Xiaobai raised his middle finger in contempt.
Furious, Chen Kun blew his beard and stared. He was the sect leader, and he had never been humiliated like this before.
“All of you stand back, let me deal with this Dragon Serpent Fruit!”
Suddenly, Chen Kun shot into the sky, the dazzle of twilight within his Dantian shining brightly, his momentum like a rainbow. The strength of the Divinity Transformation Stage was fully revealed as he wanted to face off against the formation, to test its depth.
“Soft Bone-Dissolving Palm!”
Both hands instantly transformed into two skeletal withered claws, with eerily Ghost Qi on them, clawing at the formation around Li Xiaobai.
The sky dimmed for a moment, and Li Xiaobai vaguely heard the piercing screams and mourns in his ears, feeling somewhat uneasy. This old man’s cultivation technique and moves were full of special effects and quite intimidating; he couldn’t actually break through the formation, could he?
Feeling uncertain, he stealthily exchanged for a Thousand Mile Transmission Talisman in the marketplace.
Thousand Mile Transmission Talisman: Ancient rune, instantaneously transports you a thousand miles, destination random. (Price, one thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones)
The price was a bit steep, but for Li Xiaobai at the moment, it was just a drop in the bucket.
“Zzzzt!”
The clear sound of Metal Slaughter’s Qi piercing the sky, a pair of huge skeletal hands firmly pressed on top of the formation, strands of Qi leaking out, faintly showing the tendency to break through.
It seemed that the formation sensed the challenge and gathered a large amount of Metal Slaughter’s Qi in retaliation, striking back swiftly.
The golden luminescence was dazzling. Metal Slaughter’s Qi soared through the formation, grinding the two skeletal giant hands to dust.
Chen Kun grunted, his face turning slightly red, and he was forced to retreat explosively. Metal Slaughter’s Qi was stronger than he had imagined, worthy of being the Qi of slaughter.
“Didn’t you say you wanted to meet the Brother Fruit? Why did you retreat after just one encounter?”
Elder Feng looked at Chen Kun with a smile that was not a smile, his words full of mockery.
“If you can, you go ahead!”
Chen Kun rolled his eyes and silently cultivated his Qi to recuperate. This formation was tough to deal with; just being grazed by the Metal Slaughter’s Qi caused his blood to churn.
Even with the power of the sixth layer of the Divinity Transformation Stage, he couldn’t completely block the offensive of the formation,
Elder Feng shook his head, this formation couldn’t be broken with brute force, at least not at the Divinity Transformation Stage. To break the formation, one had to rely on the abilities of Xiao Cheng Sect.
Within the formation,
Li Xiaobai was gleaming with excitement; this Slaughter Formation truly was powerful, even a high-level giant of Divinity Transformation Stage couldn’t break it, truly worthy of being a defensive formation that could add a significant number of attribute points for him.
Since the opponent couldn’t break the formation, he was in no hurry to leave. This formation could increase a large number of attribute points; the longer he stayed, the more points he would accumulate.
[Attribute Points: 30,000.]
All put into defense!
[Defensive Power: Fourth stage of Indestructible Golden Body. (0/40,000) Can be advanced.]
[Detected that the host is continuously attacked by Metal Slaughter’s Qi, skill upgrade: Fourth stage of Nine Revolutions Undying Sword Intent.]
