Chapter 307 - Appearing In Time
The black-robed man carried Yang Tianqi on his shoulder and pressed Huang Daxian’s neck against the riverbank.
Although Huang Daxian’s legs were very agile, the difference in strength between the two of them was too great. There was no room to escape at all. He had just escaped to the riverbank when he was immediately captured. Now, he was half-dead from the beating and blood was still gushing out of his mouth.
“I was talking to you nicely just now. Didn’t you hear me? You still want to escape?”
The black-robed man kept searching Huang Daxian’s body, searching some of the things hidden on him.
Huang Daxian wanted to speak, but the blood that kept gushing out of his throat prevented him from saying a complete sentence.
“It’s a misunderstanding… I was wrong. I didn’t do anything…”
He said something very ambiguous, but it was already meaningless. Since he had already fallen into their hands, there was no reason for him to leave alive.
The black-robed man had also found everything on Yang Tianqi. This shocked him.
Initially, he thought that Huang Daxian had enough treasures on him. However, when he searched Yang Tianqi, he realized that this kid’s body was like a treasure vault. Even he could not compare to the treasures he had hidden.
“Good lord, the two of you actually have such ability. I didn’t expect you to have so many treasures hidden on you.”
Those who were lucky enough to escape just now reported that two strange people had appeared in the mystic realm. These two strange people were powerful and had snatched away all the fruits that everyone had obtained. That was why they had returned empty-handed. This made the black-robed man furious.
After some investigation, the black-robed man directly found the source of the problem. He quickly found the hiding place of Huang Daxian and the others before capturing the two of them.
Although the fruits they had recovered were not as many as they had lost, it was already a very considerable number. In terms of headcount, the number of fruits on this kid was comparable to five or six people.
In addition, he had made a killing by discovering these accidents. He did not expect to find such a treasure vault on an inconspicuous Body Refinement Realm cultivator. This kid was really lucky.
However, before the black-robed man could be smug, he suddenly felt that his body was enveloped by a very huge power. This power seemed to be everywhere, covering him in the middle and constantly squeezing his body.
The black-robed man looked around strangely, but the space beside him was still fine. Nothing had changed. What went wrong?
He even shook his head. There was nothing in front of him. He must have been too nervous and sensed something wrong. He had to kill the two of them quickly and go back to cut his losses. Otherwise, he would not be able to answer to the higher-ups.
He had just raised his hand and brewed this powerful energy, wanting to burn Yang Tianqi clean.
However, at this moment, the power became even more corporeal, as if it had completely enveloped it in the middle, making him dizzy.
The black-robed man’s hand trembled a few times, and the power condensed in his hand dissipated. He looked at his empty hands in horror. No matter how hard he tried, he could not use any strength. He could only watch as his body could not move and slowly floated up.
In the next second, after the space in front of him flickered, a person appeared.
This person looked like a young man with tender skin, but his body revealed an experienced aura. At this moment, this guy looked at the black-robed man with displeasure as if he was looking at a corpse.
The black-robed man did not know why he was so afraid. It was as if he had seen his natural enemy when he saw this fellow in front of him. He was so terrified.
“Who are you? What do you do?” The black-robed man asked Li Yuanqing in a hoarse voice.
Li Yuanqing did not say anything else. He waved his arm gently, and the black-robed man’s huge body turned into ashes like smoke and disappeared into space. He disappeared easily without any process.
At this moment, Li Yuanqing’s strength had taken another step forward. It was as if he had already reached the peak of the Formation Arrangement realm. The power in his body was even more corporeal.
After dealing with this guy, Li Yuanqing took out a warm pill and gently placed it in Yang Tianqi’s mouth.
Yang Tianqi slowly opened his eyes. He looked as if he was dreaming and saw his master’s face.
“Master, am I dreaming, or am I already dead? No, Master, no matter if I’m dead or alive, you must save Liu Wen. He fell into that mystic realm and was entangled by two demon beasts. You must save him!”
Yang Tianqi thought that he was dead, but he still grabbed Li Yuanqing’s arm tightly and shouted at the top of his lungs.
Li Yuanqing gently stroked his back and immediately calmed the little fellow down. The little fellow looked at Li Yuanqing in confusion.
“It’s fine. I will save him.”
Yang Tianqi bit his lip gently. The pain woke him up.
“Master, am I still alive?”
“Let’s go.”
Just as the two of them were about to leave, Huang Daxian opened his eyes unsteadily. He was shocked to see a man suddenly appear. However, when he saw that it was just a brat, he instantly felt relieved.
“Little guy, what’s your relationship with him? Where did that guy go just now?”
Huang Daxian hurriedly touched his waist and checked his storage bag. He realized that it was clean. He immediately went up and grabbed Yang Tianqi’s arm. He waved his fist and was about to smash it at Yang Tianqi’s face.
“You bastard, how dare you steal from me!”
“Bastard!”
These words seemed to have power as they smashed Huang Daxian heavily. Huang Daxian spat out another mouthful of blood on the ground and looked up at Li Yuanqing in horror. Only now did he realize the terrifying strength of the young man in front of him. He had thought that he was just an unknown fellow just now, but who knew that this person was so powerful?
“Who are you?”
Li Yuanqing did not answer him. He only looked at Yang Tianqi at the side. “Is this person still worth living?”
Yang Tianqi hesitated for a moment before saying, “Master, he might know how to enter the mystic realm again. Why don’t we…”
Before he could finish speaking, Li Yuanqing raised his hand and Huang Daxian turned into ashes again.
“Then we won’t need him.”
Li Yuanqing brought Yang Tianqi back to the bottom of the river and arrived at the small space where they had first entered.
There were many people guarding here now. They were all waiting here. The leader had gone and had not returned for a long time. No one knew where he had gone. When they saw Li Yuanqing and Yang Tianqi, they were still restless. They did not know why these two people were here.
“What are you two doing? Why are you here?”
Li Yuanqing did not say anything and walked straight to the entrance. At this moment, the array formation at the entrance had already lost its effect.
However, this was not a problem for Li Yuanqing. His fingers kept carving on the array formation. In the end, he casually took out two high-grade spirit stones and threw them into the two grooves of the array formation.
The array formation suddenly emitted a powerful light. The light was so powerful that it was countless times stronger than when they had entered.
Under everyone’s gaze, Li Yuanqing held Yang Tianqi’s hand and stepped in, appearing in the mystic realm again.
“Who is this person? How can he open this array formation again?”
“It should be someone from above. But isn’t it said that only people below the Foundation Establishment realm can enter? I feel that this guy seems to be very strong. Is he really only below the Foundation Establishment realm?”
They chatted softly outside. They did not know where this fellow who had suddenly appeared in front of them came from. He looked quite strong and his style was very unreasonable.
The two of them appeared at the top of the mountain. Li Yuanqing only briefly identified his direction before immediately turning into a phantom and disappearing from the mountain peak. In the next second, he appeared on the desert.
“Master, look, Liu Wen is below!”
Liu Wen was actually not dead yet. For some reason, the snake and spider behind him were entangled together again. Liu Wen, who was covered in wounds, was hiding under a reverse slope in the sand. He carefully swallowed pills to recover from his injuries.
Just as the two demons were fighting, they suddenly felt a powerful energy in the sky. They immediately looked up and discovered Li Yuanqing and Yang Tianqi. This was good. Just now, it had been chasing after that bastard for a long time. Now, two more fellows had delivered themselves to its door. This was a huge opportunity.
The huge snake raised its head and spat out a mouthful of venom. The two spiders also raised their butts and sprayed poisonous webs into the sky.
However, the two of them had provoked the wrong person this time.
A square stone suddenly appeared in Li Yuanqing’s hand. This stone looked like a small altar that had shrunk. There was a very rich energy flowing in it that made one shiver.
The small square platform appeared for a moment, as if it wanted to distort the surrounding space and emit strong energy fluctuations. Li Yuanqing swung his hand, and the square platform fell heavily as if it was sentient.
As the small square platform fell, it expanded in the wind. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a huge altar that covered the sky.
The huge snake and spider were crushed like inconspicuous ants. When the square platform was raised again, it gently landed in Li Yuanqing’s hand. Nothing was left.
Li Yuanqing turned around and landed beside Liu Wen. He raised his hand and took out two pills before stuffing them into Liu Wen’s mouth.
“Master…”
“Don’t speak. Hurry up and digest the medicinal effect.”
Liu Wen nodded slightly and felt the warm power emitted by the pill entering his stomach.
“I’m sorry, Master. I’ve worried you again.”
“Don’t say such things.”
“If you want to blame someone, blame me,” Yang Tianqi said hurriedly. “I brought him here. I’m responsible for this.”
“No, Master, it’s my fault. I didn’t listen to Senior Brother and insisted on coming here. In the end, I was deceived. If you want to punish me, punish me. It has nothing to do with Senior Brother. Senior Brother came here to save me.”
Although Liu Wen had a good relationship with Yang Tianqi in the past, he had never really recognized Yang Tianqi as his senior brother. After all, he still had a sense of pride in his heart. He had defeated him back then, but after this incident, he seemed to have acknowledged him as his senior brother.
“Young people have to wander around. There’s nothing wrong with that. You don’t have to apologize to me. You just have to remember that the most important thing is to protect your lives.”
“Master…”
“Stop talking. You’re seriously injured now. The two of you stay here and recuperate. I’ll be back soon.”
As Li Yuanqing spoke, he disappeared.
The two brothers looked at the place where their master had been and heaved a sigh of relief. As long as their master was here now, everything would be fine. Their master was powerful and could resolve anything. Nothing was troublesome.
“Thank you so much this time.” Liu Wen looked at Yang Tianqi sincerely.
“Don’t thank me. I almost fell into the hands of others and was harmed by the criminals just now. Fortunately, Master arrived in time. Otherwise, I would probably be dead.”
“What about Huang Daxian? He didn’t escape, right?”
“Master has already killed him.”
“That’s good. That bastard hid so many things before we came in and almost killed us here. He didn’t reveal anything about such a dangerous situation. Killing him a hundred times won’t be enough.”
Yang Tianqi did not say how Li Yuanqing had reduced Huang Daxian to ashes just now. However, that fellow had already paid the price for his greed.
Ten miles away, Li Yuanqing looked at the surging sand under his feet. There seemed to be countless insects squirming under this place, causing the sand to squirm like the surface of the sea.
Li Yuanqing looked at the square platform in his hand. He had not tried this treasure properly after it was successfully refined. Now was the best time.
The square platform in his hand was the Dharma treasure he had successfully refined with the devil crystals of those great devils. The inspiration for this thing came from the Soul Suppression Altar.
This thing was different from ordinary Dharma artifacts. It had the space in its growth attribute. It could continuously refine and increase this ability. It was probably not within the scope of ordinary Dharma artifacts.
