Chapter 313: Chapter 185: The Appearance of the Marauder Cultivators
Traveling with Master Lei Hu for these three months, although encountering robbers, Li Jizhou didn’t take any action.
This made a group of juniors increasingly feel that the previous invitation to Li Jizhou by the three masters was somewhat excessive.
Whether he’s here or not makes no difference, and indeed, joining them is advantageous for him.
It seemed unnecessary for the Taoyuan Mountain Sect Leader to make such a heavy promise!
“Brother Gu, where do you plan to go after you return to the Yan Kingdom? Our Fire Cloud Cave has a Tier Three Spirit Vein, very suitable for your cultivation.” However, Lei Chunying was quite joyous, always finding opportunities to chat with Li Jizhou along the way.
Of course, she didn’t neglect the core disciple of Taoyuan Mountain, even occasionally responding to Yang Yang, the sycophant.
Indeed, she treated everyone equally.
But this still made Yang Yang grind his teeth with resentment, feeling particularly dissatisfied with Li Jizhou.
Especially as Li Jizhou traveled in silence, without using his Divine Sense to scan the surroundings, making him believe Li Jizhou hadn’t contributed much effort.
Boom!
At this moment, a loud explosion suddenly erupted.
Everyone felt a burning wave instantly enveloping them.
“Enemy attack!” Master Lei Hu shouted in panic, a Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact, Heaven-Shaking Hammer, appearing in his hand.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After three consecutive explosions, Master Lei Hu and the Taoyuan Mountain Sect Leader had already engaged the opponent.
After separating from a strike, figures appeared around them.
The leader frowned slightly, looking at the inconspicuous Zhang Ruoyu with a hint of anomaly in his eyes.
The initial sneak attack was expected to hurt the opponent, yet Zhang Ruoyu’s Magical Shield dissipated fifty percent of the power.
Ultimately, only some of the cultivators below Core Formation in Master Lei Hu’s group were knocked to the ground, not severely injured.
And Master Lei Hu and the Taoyuan Mountain Sect Leader quickly blocked the second sneak attack.
Causing their attack to fail this time.
“This person has an extremely sharp Divine Sense, releasing the Magical Shield almost simultaneously with the sneak attack!” The lead attacker gave Zhang Ruoyu a focused glance.
“Why are you attacking us?” Master Lei Hu’s eyes glared sharply at the leader.
There were four people in total, the leader was at the Late Stage of Core Formation but appeared injured, not in peak condition, the other two were at the Middle Stage of Core Formation, and one at the Early Stage of Core Formation.
This team, able to ambush here, was clearly not interested in intercepting those below the Core Formation realm.
They naturally had something to rely on.
Beside one of the Middle Stage cultivators was a Jade-eyed White Tiger, a Tier Three Early Stage Demon Beast.
Beside the Early Stage cultivator was a Tier Three Puppet.
“Hmph! Obviously asking!” The leader sneered, unleashing Late Stage Core Formation Magical Power, aiming to intimidate without battle.
Master Lei Hu’s expression turned serious, communicating with the Taoyuan Mountain Sect Leader, Zhang Ruoyu, and Li Jizhou through Divine Sense.
The opponent’s combat power far exceeded theirs, fighting desperately may only result in mutual injury.
Li Jizhou scanned the surroundings with his life force perception, finding no other hidden threats, instantly looking as calm as a breeze.
He could solve these four people, one Spirit Beast, and one Puppet by himself.
If the Jade-eyed White Tiger emerges, it would probably submit.
Once four Quasi-Fourth Tier Puppets appear, they all could perish!
However, he hadn’t fully refined that Demon Pill yet, at the final crucial moment.
“Could you kindly make it convenient for us?” The Taoyuan Mountain Sect Leader stepped forward, cupping his hand, offering a Tier Three treasure.
If they fought desperately, they might injure each other, but being tens of thousands of miles from the Yan Kingdom, it would be tough to reach.
Moreover, several juniors were following, a fierce battle would likely result in their deaths.
With these words, the four Core Formation cultivators with Master Lei Hu also unleashed their Magical Power.
“You’re being naive! Are you shooing away beggars?” The robber sneered.
Master Lei Hu’s face turned somber, falling silent.
The juniors behind him all showed fear in their expressions.
Facing the fiercely murderous Core Formation Stage robbers, they had no resistance.
“How about adding this?” After contemplating, Master Lei Hu pulled out a segment of Tier Three Mid Stage Thunder Wood Root from his storage bag.
The Thunder Wood Root was excellent material for making Spiritual Artifacts, originally prepared by Master Lei Hu for crafting his destiny Magical Artifact.
Now, he had no choice but to take it out.
Seeing the root, the robber’s eyes indeed showed a hint of delight.
“Still not enough!” Yet he shook his head, sneering.
“Aren’t you being excessive? This is the best we can offer; even if we fight to the death, the reward wouldn’t be much. Why not just part ways?” Master Lei Hu’s expression grew cold.
“Haha, fight to the death? Just you? Two Middle Stage Core Formation, two Early Stage?” The robber laughed disdainfully, instinctively glancing at his own two Middle Stage and one Early Stage Core Formation, and the Tier Three Demon Beast and Puppet.
The difference in strength was obvious.
“I’ll count to three, if there’s no adequate treasure, don’t blame us for being ruthless!” The robber issued a final ultimatum.
“Three!”
“Two!”
In an instant, the tension peaked.
Master Lei Hu and the Taoyuan Mountain Sect Leader surged their Magical Power through their Spiritual Artifacts.
The juniors behind them were all terrified to the extreme.
“Sister Ying, don’t worry, unless I die, I won’t let anyone harm you.” Yang Yang trembled slightly, yet still stood before Lei Chunying, facing the Early Stage Core Formation robber with the horrifying Tier Three Puppet.
“Brother Yang, I knew you were the best!” Lei Chunying said gratefully, yet subconsciously squeezed into the crowd.
