After the two cultivators at the eighth level of Tribulation, Fang Ying and Wang Yangfeng, had finished their partition.
The highest combat power remaining on the scene was the cultivator at the sixth level of Tribulation, clad in black robes and wielding a staff, who had been present earlier.
Under different circumstances, if he were the only one with absolute dominance and no opponents of similar cultivation level, he might have been overjoyed.
However, the situation was entirely different now.
The deaths of the three cultivators at the fifth level of Tribulation did not signify a reduction in the black-robed staff-wielding cultivator's competition; in fact, it was the complete opposite.
The pressure on this black-robed staff-wielder was now countless times greater than when he faced the three fifth-level cultivators.
Watching the cluster of meteorites, partially divided and drifting out of the distorted space,
Zhao You did not immediately move to claim a portion.
Instead, Zhao You’s expression was grave as his gaze turned towards Li Qi's direction.
Knowing Li Qi's strength, Zhao You did not wish to confront him directly. He spoke in a negotiating tone to Li Qi, saying,
"Fellow Daoist, how about we split this meteor fragment cluster, fifty-fifty?"
Li Qi's eyes also turned towards Zhao You in response.
The atmosphere on the scene quieted for a moment.
The lower-level Tribulation cultivators around were already searching for Dao Fallen fragments within the scattered meteorites that were drifting out.
However, they seemed to sense the unspoken tension between Li Qi and Zhao You.
Dividing their attention, they cast curious glances at the two, as if watching a show.
"I wonder how that fellow Daoist will respond to this proposal. Fifty-fifty? I think that's quite generous."
Someone muttered to themselves.
Then, a cultivator at the second level of Tribulation, a thousand meters away, shattered a meteorite, extracted a Dao Fallen fragment, and turned to say,
"Although Zhao You's strength is also at the sixth level of Tribulation, and he's not from my immediate vicinity within the Void Black Market, I've heard of him. While his strength is considerable, the other Daoist's displayed power seems to be higher than the sixth level of Tribulation, not lower. I doubt he'll agree to this fifty-fifty proposal."
After all, anyone present could clearly see that a cultivator at the sixth level of Tribulation, even with full effort, could not have killed three fifth-level cultivators in such a short time.
As everyone watched, and with Zhao You's heart sinking,
Li Qi slowly shook his head. His voice was calm yet undeniably resolute.
"With your strength, you are not qualified to split it evenly with me. I want seventy-five percent."
Seventy-five percent!
Hearing this, even Zhao You couldn't help but frown slightly!
The meteor cluster had already been partially divided by the two eighth-level cultivators. If Li Qi were to take another seventy-five percent,
Even if he took the remaining twenty-five percent, the amount of Dao Fallen fragments he would acquire would be extremely limited.
"Fellow Daoist, taking seventy-five percent, aren't you being overly greedy!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere on the scene instantly became tense.
The attention of the surrounding cultivators, who were searching for scattered Dao Fallen fragments, grew even more intense.
Could it be that a fight was truly going to break out?
Since it did not concern them, and seeing these two seemingly strong Tribulation cultivators about to clash, the Tribulation cultivators present instinctively moved a little further away from Li Qi and Zhao You, adopting a spectator's posture.
In response to Zhao You's dissatisfaction, Li Qi remained unfazed. Instead, a smile slowly spread across his face, as if he had everything under control, or perhaps as if he didn't consider the sixth-level Tribulation cultivator Zhao You worthy of his attention.
"I want seventy-five percent, you think I'm too greedy? Very well, I'll take it all!"
His voice was calm, but his words were incredibly arrogant.
"Take it all again?"
The lower-level Tribulation cultivators surrounding them widened their eyes upon hearing Li Qi's declaration.
The last three fifth-level Tribulation cultivators who had been told by Li Qi that he would "take it all" hadn't even had their remains fully recovered.
Could it be that this time, Li Qi was also planning to directly eliminate Zhao You, a cultivator at the sixth level of Tribulation?
Zhao You seemed to have realized this as well, and his expression instantly turned extremely grim.
But before he could speak,
Li Qi's voice sounded again at the opportune moment.
"I said, this time I'm taking all the remaining meteorites. Make your move. Of course, if you attack and fail, then the Dao Fallen fragments you collected earlier will also belong to me."
As Li Qi finished speaking,
Zhao You's pupils contracted violently. An inexplicable sense of terrifying crisis suddenly surged within his heart.
In an instant, Zhao You's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He looked at Li Qi with utter shock and horror.
This time, he had thoroughly felt the sense of crisis emanating from Li Qi, no less than what the two eighth-level cultivators had made him feel!
And Li Qi, after speaking, appeared to become lazy. He seemed unconcerned about whether Zhao You would actually attack him.
This was blatant disrespect, utter contempt.
But in reality, this was confidence in his own strength.
For him, while his other three awakened talents might not be able to deal with two eighth-level cultivators within a minute, dispatching a sixth-level Tribulation cultivator was more than sufficient.
He didn't even need to activate hundredfold defense or hundredfold recovery. By directly activating hundredfold strength, Li Qi was confident he could kill this sixth-level Tribulation Zhao You in three punches!
The atmosphere on the scene grew even more oppressive under Li Qi's words.
"Make a move, why aren't you moving?"
Li Qi's lazy eyes once again looked towards Zhao You.
But in reality, Zhao You had no courage to make a move.
Although he hadn't truly fought Li Qi yet,
The warning signs from his sixth-level Tribulation cultivation, and the previous three cautionary tales,
He seemed to understand that Li Qi's words were not a joke in the slightest.
And finally, under the watchful eyes of everyone, and after Li Qi's repeated provocations,
Zhao You uttered no words. With a flash of his figure, he directly retreated.
