Several minutes later, everyone in the lava felt a sudden release, their bodies regaining mobility, and the sensation of controlling their own bodies again was truly wonderful.
Monk Liaowang had a complex expression on his face. Even though he had honestly stated he would stop the other party from killing again, the other party still spared him.
Indeed, this person has wisdom roots, kindness in his heart, and follows the righteous path—he is truly a person deserving of redemption!
Li Xiaobai’s actions further solidified Monk Liaowang’s resolve to reform him.
“Damn it, this time I’ve suffered a huge loss. All the treasures given by my family have been taken away by that Li Xiaobai!”
“Same here, there were several plants of Spiritual Medicine inside that could have helped me break through!”
The remaining cultivators fled from the lava like flying, returning to the cliffside above, sighing in despair. This time, they had really hit a snag.
Yu Xiu looked even more embarrassed as he dared not mention what he had lost. The ring he was carrying contained a secret manual of the Xingtian Sect, a closely guarded secret that was now taken by someone else. If word got out, it would inevitably affect the prestige and status of the Xingtian Sect.
“This matter must be reported to the sect. Li Xiaobai possesses demonic arts and uses the Demon Sword. We must prepare!” Yu Xiu said.
“Brother Yu, don’t forget the oath we took just now. In this lifetime, we cannot become enemies with him,” a fellow cultivator reminded.
“It’s just that I won’t be his enemy. The families and powers behind us aren’t here for nothing; we just need to faithfully report the name ‘Demon Sword Li Xiaobai.’ Other matters, the family will have people to handle the operations.”
Yu Xiu stated that Central Province’s powers would not allow such a talent to suddenly emerge uncontested. For major powers, only the favored can compete at the pinnacle. Uncontrolled talents must be nipped in the bud.
Therefore, exterminating talent had always been an ongoing affair for the major powers.
The other cultivators nodded in agreement. Indeed, that sword strike was too terrifying; even the favored sons of the great powers had been brought to their knees. A genius of such magnitude appearing out of nowhere must be brought to the attention of the sect masters.
Otherwise, in the future, they might become formidable rivals for those figures.
“Indeed, our sect also has powerhouses who have entered the Secret Realm. We should report this.”
“The same goes for me. The elders of my clan have gone to that minor world. It would be best if they could slay this person within the Secret Realm.”
“Let’s report it quickly…”
On the other side of the lava.
Li Xiaobai safely crossed through the lava, successfully landing on dry land. He changed into clean and neat clothes and checked the enormous gains from this excursion.
[Attribute Points: 20000.]
All on defense.
[Defensive Power: Indestructible Golden Body Ninth Turn (22000/100000) ready for advancement.]
There was still some distance to go before advancing his defensive power to the next stage, but as long as he advanced, even cultivators at the Tribulation Crossing Stage would no longer pose a threat to his life.
By then, the Hundred Percent Barehanded Blade Catch could possibly be effective against those at the Tribulation Crossing Stage as well.
Inside the Space Ring, there were a total of thirteen Spiritual Medicines from the lava, seven of which were Fire Lotuses, and six others of various forms, unfamiliar to him. However, at first glance, they were certainly valuable items, and later he would see if he could get Ouyang Shuanger to increase the price.
There were also the treasured collections of dozens of cultivators, which were probably the accumulations of most cultivators’ lifetimes, including Spirit Stones, Spiritual Medicines, Cultivation Manuals, Spiritual Artifacts, Magic Treasures, covering a wide variety.
Once he got out, he would find a suitable place for trading and clear out the lot.
He was sure to make a fortune.
The vehicle used for travel had been taken away by Ergouzi, so he had to get himself another one.
The mall.
[Lamborghini: High-end sports car, top configuration, as swift as lightning, fast speed, consumes one high-grade Spirit Stone per kilometer. (Ten thousand high-grade Spirit Stones)]
[Note: Feels like flying.]
That’s the one!
Without any hesitation, Li Xiaobai clicked to purchase.
Li Xiaobai had long adored this kind of high-end sports car, but without Spirit Stones, all he could do was stare and drool. After amassing a fortune, a mere ten thousand superior-grade Spirit Stones was nothing to him, barely worth his attention.
Finally, he could show off a bit.
Soon, a rose gold luxury sports car hit the ground. Its chassis was low, with smooth flowing lines, and the metal armor shell had the fierce and terrifying look of a big truck, creating an impressive impact.
This car was even more luxurious than a heavy-duty truck.
Trucks were just heavy, had a high load capacity, and strong defensive power, but their downside was poor maneuverability.
However, the Lamborghini didn’t have these weaknesses. It was not only a high-end sports car designed for speed, but its heavy metal armor was also sturdy, with defensive power that hardly fell short of the big trucks.
The streamlined body design made it lighter and more agile. With this top-notch mode of transportation, the big truck could be retired and given to Ergouzi to drive from now on.
The token on his person slowly glowed.
The ranking on it changed once again.
People’s List.
Ranked 5000th: “Begging For Death” Li Xiaobai.
…
Ranked 7000th: “Cool and Awesome” Ergouzi.
Ranked 7001st: “Pudong Rooster” Ji Wuqing.
Ranked 7002nd: “Princess Zhenuan” Ouyang Shuanger.
He had taken out hundreds of cultivators in one move, which shot his ranking up by two thousand. If he had been ruthless just now and taken out a few more prodigies, his rank could have been even higher.
But Ergouzi and Ji Wuqing had also risen two thousand places, no need to ask, those two were definitely causing trouble everywhere driving their big truck!
He only hoped they wouldn’t get killed by someone; his truck was still quite valuable.
He glanced around, there were many forks in the road. Ergouzi had the embroidered shoe, and he was about to buy another pair when suddenly, a beam of golden light burst through the sky in the distance.
A huge column of gold light shot up to the heavens, clearly signaling the birth of a great treasure.
Li Xiaobai’s eyes lit up, what good luck, this was the place!
He hopped into the car, threw a few superior-grade Spirit Stones into the fuel box, pressed the gas pedal to the floor, and with a thunderous roar of the engine, the Lamborghini disappeared into a blur.
…
At the same time, somewhere in a jungle.
A heavy-duty truck rampaged through, breaking trees and scattering them, while unfortunate cultivators who couldn’t react in time were pulverized by the truck’s charge.
Inside the cab, Ergouzi kept glancing back, obviously anxious and restless.
“Woof, good people don’t block the way, those who do are just obstacles, make way for Lord Ergouzi!”
“Woof, damn it, they’re catching up, hit the gas, speed up!”
Ergouzi barked frantically with Huazi in his mouth.
“Cackle, I’ve already floored the gas, you better steer and drift to shake them off!”
Ji Wuqing’s eyes were wide as he firmly pressed down on the accelerator.
Ouyang Shuanger was sitting in the passenger seat, pale with fear, constantly looking back through the rearview mirror as several figures drew closer.
The antics of this chicken and dog terrified her. She wanted to get out of the truck, but seeing Ergouzi’s madness, she swallowed the words that reached her lips.
She was just a bystander, why should she have to go through such terror?
Curled up inside the cab, shivering, she longed for home.
