Upon hearing the unfamiliar voice, the five people, who had just relaxed, immediately focused their attention again. Even He Yao raised his Longsword once more, stood up wearily, and stood ready for battle.
The three who arrived all had unfriendly expressions, and their eyes contained murderous intent.
He Yao wasn't stupid; having grown up in the Cultivation World, he naturally understood what the three were planning to do.
An Azure Fire Tiger is quite valuable, especially one that is at the Half-step Profound Immortal. If it were brought before the Imperial Family, it would surely bring considerable rewards.
In order to encourage cultivators to go and resolve the crisis of Demon Beast, the Imperial Family set out a special reward: anyone who kills Demon Beast of a certain Cultivation Level will receive an equivalent reward, and even those who hunt down cultivators at the Human Immortal Realm level will receive the same reward.
These rewards aren't particularly generous, but they're still a nice treat.
However, the situation is quite different for demonic Demon Beast that Half-step Profound Immortal. As True Immortal cultivators, the three of them received a considerable amount of resources as rewards, and with the addition of the Azure Fire Tiger, they were practically getting a great deal.
In this Cultivation World, besides Demon Beast, there are also Demonic Cult and cultivators who are also on the Righteous Path; all of these could be enemies.
Although the Righteous Path is called the Righteous Path, some of the things done by the Righteous Path are even more disgusting than some of the Demonic Path, and these are all quite normal.
Murder and looting are not things only Demonic Cult do.
Of the three, the leader had a cold expression, and his eyes were filled with icy killing intent.
"Brother, we've really struck gold! An Azure Fire Tiger at the Half-step Profound Immortal —that's incredibly valuable!"
"These three lads are quite strong, and they must have a lot of treasures on them. We've really struck gold this time."
The two people beside him couldn't help but laugh, their eyes filled with greed.
Huang Yunhu coldly looked at He Yao: "Your strength is quite impressive. Judging from your aura, you must also be a high-ranking Immortal Body. If you can Submission me, I might spare your life."
He Yao is very powerful, and it would be great for him to take him as a servant.
If such Heavenly Prodigy were to grow up and mature, it would be of great help to him.
As he spoke, his aura surged, and a terrifying pressure was released. With his True Immortal Realm Cultivation Level, He Yao peak.
But now, after a fierce battle with the Azure Fire Tiger, he has lost more than one-tenth of his strength, so he has no strength left to fight this person.
The final battle with the Azure Fire Tiger had exhausted all his strength. Now, He Yao felt extremely weak, and his hand holding the sword was trembling as if the sword would fall from his hand at any moment.
Huang Yunhu naturally noticed that He Yao was physically exhausted and his combat strength was currently at a low point, which made him extremely arrogant.
Think carefully before you answer; you only have one chance.
"He Yao!"
The other Disciple of the Haoran Sect immediately shouted, their eyes filled with worry, suggesting that if all else failed, they should use Elder Su Chen's Talisman.
He Yao gritted his teeth. He didn't really want to use it now. This Talisman was like a second life for them, so wouldn't that mean he had already died once so quickly?
To his Master, wasn't his Disciple utterly useless?
The name of the Haoran Sect cannot be exposed, because even if it is, it will be of no use. Once these people know that they have a powerful background, they will not let them go, but will eliminate them completely.
What other methods are there?
The last resort is to burn Essence Blood, but this has extremely serious side effects and should not be used unless absolutely necessary.
What constitutes a desperate situation? At the very least, it's when even after using the Teleportation Talisman given by Su Chen, there's still a risk to one's life, and only then would one resort to using it.
His only Trump Cards now is the Teleportation Talisman; he has nothing else.
Suddenly, He Yao remembered what his Master had said before.
No matter what, you must always prepare several Trump Cards for yourself and always hide some of your strength. This time, coming to hunt the Azure Fire Tiger was a bit too hasty.
If he had peacefully hunted demonic Demon Beast at the Celestial Heavenly Immortal or True Immortal Realms, this crisis would never have occurred.
Pushing the limits all at once is indeed a bit of a stretch.
Seeing that He Yao remained silent, Huang Yunhu's eyes turned icy cold. "Didn't you hear me? You two, kill the other four first."
The two men beside him immediately grinned maliciously, and one of the four, a fair-skinned young man, said:
"Brother Tiger, can I keep this kid?"
The person whose name was called immediately changed his expression, because he was unshaven and looked extremely unkempt.
What are you trying to do?!
Li Feiyun couldn't help but speak, his face full of disgust.
"What are you doing? Kid, you'll find out soon enough. I love fair-skinned, tender boys like you the most. There was this guy who was about your age before, but he couldn't handle it. He only lasted half a month. I got bored with him and just killed him."
Li Feiyun's expression changed drastically; he finally realized what kind of person this was.
Longyang is good!
This person is attracted to men.
Damn it!
Huang Yunhu seemed to have known about his quirk all along. His eyes held a hint of disdain, but his voice was icy as he said, "Fine, but don't leave any evidence, or don't blame me for being heartless."
These people are clearly not simple characters; if they're not careful, they might all suffer a setback.
Many powerful cultivators have come to Shuiyue City these days. These few people are obviously disciples of those people. They have killed many people like this in recent days, but this is the first time they have caught such a fat fish.
Once they confirmed it, they quickly attacked the other three members of the Haoran Sect. The other three were exhausted from the previous battle and had no power to resist.
"Die!"
The two attacked swiftly, their True Immortal Cultivation Level emanating from them, clearly determined to kill the three of them.
He Yao wanted to rush over to help, but after taking only two steps, his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.
The four of them exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with helplessness.
Why!
Just as they were about to take out the Minor Teleportation Talisman given to them by Su Chen, a black figure suddenly rushed out from behind them.
"Bang!"
Two muffled sounds rang out, followed by the two men being sent flying backwards, crashing to the ground a considerable distance away.
Huang Yunhu's eyes widened in disbelief. "Who!"
Suddenly, a person appeared in front of the four members of the Haoran Sect. Or rather, they were not human at all. Although they were similar to humans, their joints were mechanical, and their eyes were dull and lifeless.
"Mechanism Arts!"
The Puppet instantly charged towards Huang Yunhu. Without a word, Huang Yunhu retreated, preparing to escape. The Puppet's aura was extremely terrifying, probably at the Profound Immortal realm, which was definitely beyond his ability to withstand.
Damn it!
How can such a thing still exist?
