"Boom!"
With a deafening roar that shook the heavens and earth, Tuoba Tao and the others finally commenced their hunt.
Giant mountain peaks were hurled by them into the mist where the two Kui Snakes resided, and under their deliberate control, many peaks were directed towards the juvenile Kui Snake at the center of the dense fog.
"Roar!"
Instantly, both Kui Snakes were enraged, their bestial instincts fully ignited. The Kui Snake in the sky whipped its tail towards Tuoba Tao and his group.
"Quick! Continue the attack, force one out!"
Someone shouted. The male Kui Snake was merely using its tail as an attack and wasn't pursuing them, indicating they hadn't completely provoked it.
"Buzz!"
Just then, a powerful figure from the Sunken World drew their bow and fired a golden beam of light towards the juvenile Kui Snake.
"Boom!"
A loud explosion echoed. The light beam was blocked by the female Kui Snake, but due to the immense energy contained within it, the juvenile Kui Snake was injured upon detonation, eliciting a scream.
At that moment, the male Kui Snake in the sky moved, charging towards Tuoba Tao and his group. It roared, its terrifying aura erupting, and in an instant, it reached them, casting a vast shadow.
"Move!"
Tuoba Tao let out a low command, and the group immediately split into two. One contingent engaged the male Kui Snake in a fierce battle, while the other directly charged into the mist, heading for the female Kui Snake.
"Roar!"
Seeing this, both adult Kui Snakes were shocked and furious. The male wanted to return to protect its mate and offspring, while the female ferociously attacked the intruders.
However, despite possessing the strength of invincible Tier Six, their intelligence was too low. They were no match for Tuoba Tao and his companions and were soon pinned down.
"Quick! Go grab the exotic fruits! If that young snake dares to obstruct, kill it!"
Gu Kun yelled, commanding the lower-tier invincible beings present.
Immediately, over a dozen figures surged towards the small tree bearing nine exotic fruits.
"Hiss!" The juvenile Kui Snake let out a hiss, attempting to stop the crowd, but it was directly bisected by a single strike from one person. It was merely a juvenile, and these low-tier invincible beings were at Tier Three, capable of eliminating it with ease.
Soon, everyone acted, harvesting the nine exotic fruits. One person even uprooted the small tree, the one who acted being Yang Chen.
"Roar!"
The two adult Kui Snakes roared upon seeing this, charging towards these dozen low-tier invincible beings as if their lives depended on it. Tuoba Tao and his group also began to resist with all their might.
"Success! Haha! That great bird, quickly take them away, we'll follow!" Gu Kun laughed, incredibly excited. The exotic fruits were snatched, and he would receive one, thus recovering his losses.
In the sky, the Sunbird descended, preparing to pick up Yang Chen and the others.
But at this very moment, an unforeseen change occurred. Li Xiaotian moved. He suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and with a single punch, he obliterated one person, simultaneously seizing the exotic fruit the victim hadn't had time to store in their spatial ring.
Following this, Li Xiaotian moved as if passing through a realm of no resistance, one punch per person, snatching the exotic fruits.
He had been surrounded and almost killed by these people before, so now, intercepting them, he felt no guilt whatsoever.
He was merely reclaiming what belonged to him!
"Bastard! Ahhh! Ant, you are seeking death!"
From a distance, Gu Kun and the others, witnessing this, had their eyes instantly turn red. They roared, having meticulously set up a scheme to harvest the exotic fruits, only to have Li Xiaotian intercept them at the last moment.
The key was that this person was the one who had previously infuriated them greatly. Seeing an enemy made their eyes burn with hatred, let alone Li Xiaotian snatching their hard-earned gains. This was more unbearable than killing them.
"Ahhh, die!" At this moment, everyone went mad. They abandoned the two Kui Snakes and rushed directly at Li Xiaotian.
However, the two Kui Snakes paid no mind. They immediately pursued the fleeing group. In just a momentary lapse, one person was torn to shreds by the male Kui Snake, and another was sent flying far away by a tail swipe from the female.
"Heh heh, everyone, thank you!" Li Xiaotian laughed heartily, all nine exotic fruits secured, preparing to continue his hidden activities.
"Kill!"
At this moment, a golden spear pierced through the air, thrown by Yang Xuan. It was his weapon, a mid-stage Saint artifact, possessing immense power.
"A good item, I accept it. This artifact and I are fated!" Li Xiaotian's eyes lit up at this. He immediately acted, activating his devouring power, directly consuming Yang Xuan's divine sense connected to the weapon. Then, with a flick of his hand, he collected the spear.
Following this, Li Xiaotian punched through space and stepped into the void.
This was a diversion. Although he stepped into the void, the moment he entered it, he used his Great Dao of Devouring to infiltrate the Dao space of one of the people present.
As fate would have it, it was Yang Chen, Yang Xuan's brother.
"Ahhh! Scoundrel! Scoundrel!" Yang Xuan roared, his rage soaring. His Saint weapon had lost its connection, snatched by this shameless human!
The others attacked in turn, recklessly bombarding the spot where Li Xiaotian had vanished. In their frenzy, two people from their own side were directly blown to pieces.
"Damn it! He escaped again! He escaped again!" The crowd felt Li Xiaotian's disappearing aura, and they trembled with rage, their terrifying power tearing apart everything in the vicinity.
What humiliation!
This time, the opponent had snatched the exotic fruits right before their very eyes, which was tantamount to slapping them across the face.
And it was a resounding slap at that.
"Roar!"
Yet, no matter how furious the crowd was, they dared not linger. At this moment, the two Kui Snakes were even more ferocious than they were. They couldn't distinguish whether Li Xiaotian and these people were allies.
All they knew was that it was the people before them who had stolen the treasures they had guarded for countless years and injured their offspring.
"Roar!"
The two Kui Snakes pursued Gu Kun and the others relentlessly, which made Gu Kun's group feel wronged while also having to resist with all their might.
But the thought of their fierce resistance being in vain for someone else made them feel as if they had eaten feces.
"Damn it! Damn it! Human, I, Tuoba Tao, would rather forfeit the opportunity of the Great Dao Tree than not kill you!" Tuoba Tao roared, his face ashen with anger, his demonic flames surging.
"Ahhh! I, Yang Xuan, am sworn to an eternal feud with you! An eternal feud!" Yang Xuan roared, so enraged that he would rather withstand a Kui Snake's attack to get his words out.
Because he felt too wronged and too angry.
The first time they had surrounded Li Xiaotian, he had lost his spatial ring.
This time, as they competed for exotic fruits, although Li Xiaotian had intercepted them, no one else suffered losses. But he, he lost his Saint weapon!
How could he feel at ease in his heart?
It was like a group of people doing business. Others might feel bad for not making money, but you suffered a significant loss. When you compared the two, you felt even worse, wishing you could just slit your own throat and die on the spot.
"Damn it!" Yang Xuan let out a strange cry, so angry that he almost cried. He felt it was unbearable. Why was he always singled out?
After all, he was only here to help, to help!
And previously, when everyone surrounded that human, he hadn't attacked with full force. But why was he always the one targeted?
