Chapter 1047 - 878: The Best of Both Worlds

Being followed here, any explanation wouldn't suffice. Li Hongjiu was at a loss for words when questioned, his gaze continuously scanning the surroundings, and he bluffed, "Mr. Yu sent me."

The cloaked man immediately retorted angrily, "Nonsense, if Mr. Yu sent you, why would he send me to find you?"

Upon hearing this, Li Hongjiu immediately realized the test due to urgency had yielded an answer; Yu Yifu wasn't coming.

But the problem now was that these four Heavenly Immortal experts were distributed in four directions, surrounding them. Without concentrating people in one direction, it would be troublesome to start a fight.

One must know that these Heavenly Immortal experts who came are not the usual monks who reach the Heavenly Immortal Realm without much hard strength. These are all allocated by the Nanshan Royal Court; none of them are ordinary.

The reason Shi Chun could take out five at once before was purely due to the surprise of the event, combined with underestimation of the enemy.

Zhu Xiangxin turned his head and asked Li Hongjiu, "Mr. Li, who are these people?"

Li Hongjiu smiled bitterly, "For you, they come with ill intentions, enemies rather than friends."

For himself, however, they were allies.

He was a bit confused; clearly seeing that these allies had been attracted by Shi Chun, why were there still people following him here?

Although unclear about the situation, he realized there should be tracking experts among the newcomers, so he couldn't complain about the five who were killed by Shi Chun being careless, as he was no exception.

Upon hearing they were enemies, Zhu Xiangxin became nervous, and Huang Yingying, who was meditating with crossed legs, also stood up with a serious expression.

At this moment, the ground turned, and members of the Golden-haired Rat Clan cheerfully drilled out from underground. Seeing this continuous emergence of formation, it was clear the excavation here was finished.

A clansman waved a bulging Qiankun Bag and laughed heartily, "Harvest full, another day of making a fortune..."

Before the words were finished, they realized something was wrong, noticing the few extra people on site weren't from Dingnan Prefecture, they fell silent and sought confirmation from Huang Yingying and others.

Seeing this, the cloaked man sneered repeatedly, "It seems you've indeed found a Sandalwood Gold vein. Where's Shi Chun's mount?"

At these words, the drilling Golden-haired Rat Clan members froze, realizing something was wrong; the ones drilling out later were silenced by their peers.

Li Hongjiu responded, "Shi Chun's mount is with Shi Chun."

"Really? Ask them, why are you in a hurry to answer?" The cloaked man chuckled lightly, raised his hand, and grabbed in the air, instantly sending the Golden-haired Rat Clan member who proclaimed the day of making a fortune shooting out like an arrow, seized by his outstretched five claws.

Huang Yingying, who was somewhat nervous, was shocked to see a clansman about to fall into enemy hands, no longer afraid, pointed sharply.

With a snap, the cloaked man's wrist that was reaching to capture the person's neck suddenly burst with blood, as if slashed by a sharp claw shadow, and the figure that wielded the claw also manifested, it was Huang Yingying.

Li Hongjiu instinctively glanced sideways, only to find that Huang Yingying was still there.

In the corner of his eye, he saw the Huang Yingying appearing beside the cloaked man blurred and dissipated as initially seen.

Zhu Xiangxin, having just summoned the scarlet 'Fire Prison God Suppression Stele', was also shocked.

Not just her, everyone was astonished by this sudden change.

The pained and shocked cloaked man was both startled and angry, struck empty with a palm, as if the vanished figure of Huang Yingying had been dispersed by him.

But the wrist that unleashed a palm also burst with blood, slashed by the figure of Huang Yingying appearing on the other side.

This sudden apparition of Huang Yingying's figure was unusual, with a human-shaped figure but claws not of human hands, instead sharp claws of a Golden-haired Rat before transformation. These claws could easily crack hard stone and leave marks on gold and iron.

After succeeding with one move, the figure vanished like drifting sand, and instantly, numerous figures surrounded the cloaked man from all directions, besieging him!

Under the sharp claws, legs broke, elbows snapped, knees shattered, the clavicle spurted blood, legs shortened, arms broke, the chest burst with blood, cheeks were cut, stomach penetrated, the cloak was already torn to shreds, mingling with blood flying around.

The other three Nanshan personnel were shocked. Initially unsure which figure to attack, they quickly locked onto the Huang Yingying's body on the dune and were about to act.

Huang Yingying suddenly frowned and glared coldly, and in that moment, his slender body exuded the air of a grandmaster, waving his sleeves, booming demon energy surged out, and in an instant, numerous figures surrounded the three, appearing out of thin air, with flesh flying everywhere, yet no screams could be heard.

One could see mouths shouting silently.

A duel between several Heavenly Immortal Realm experts, the leaked battle aftermath was terrifying.

Vast Gang Qi spread everywhere, sand turned to dust, and even swift flying sand could kill, with rolling Golden-haired Rats darting into the sand to avoid disaster.

Li Hongjiu fiercely pointed ahead to resist the wind.

Zhu Xiangxin entered the 'Fire Prison God Suppression Stele', and the Flame Stele was also blown away by Gang Wind.

In the surging demon energy, Huang Yingying's sleeves fluttered, his small body seemed like surfing the wind and waves between heaven and earth, the sea of sand rolling like waves, eyes flashing with a gleam like cold stars, without stepping back an inch.

He waved his sleeve, and the sudden Gang Wind abruptly fluttered and subsided.

The four mutilated bodies, losing all limbs, fell onto the sand one after another, coughing blood and gasping.

The whole process happened suddenly, and ended quickly, all in just a few breaths.

The remaining wind stirred, and the floating sand in the air fell like countless raindrops, and after the rain stopped, the four mutilated bodies were almost buried by the falling sand, struggling to emerge once more.

The dune where Huang Yingying stood, without taking a step, was also filled into flat land.
