Life and Death Together
Chu Buyu waved her hand, and Yellow Storage Bracelet flew into her hand. Out of caution, Shen Long used the Shape-Shifting Lock to change his appearance.
"Let's get out of here first."
Chu Buyu said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the cave shook violently, cracks appeared, and it quickly shattered into pieces. A Golden Giant Hand descended from the sky and struck Chu Buyu.
Shen Long snorted coldly, flicked his wrist, Li Fire Staff emitted a dazzling red light, transforming into numerous staff shadows that shattered the Golden Giant Hand.
"They dare to steal treasure right under the noses of our Golden Ape Tribe; they've got some nerve."
A cold male voice rang out.
A Cyan Giant Crane with a wingspan of over ten zhang flew in from afar. A burly man in a golden robe stood on the back of the Cyan Giant Crane. Judging from the fluctuations in his Law Power, he had the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage stage.
Shen Long put the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada into his Spirit Beast Bag to prevent it from being harmed by the aftershocks of the battle.
Chu Buyu made a hand seal, Red Fire Flood Dragon shook its head and tail, opening its mouth to spew out dozens of Giant Fireball, which crashed towards the golden-robed giant.
The Cyan Giant Crane opened its beak and spat out a beam of azure light, which transformed into an Cyan Tornado over a hundred feet high, and rushed forward.
The Giant Fireball collided with the Cyan Tornado, like an egg hitting a rock, and instantly disintegrated.
A Red Giant Fist shot out and collided with the Cyan Tornado. The Cyan Tornado instantly exploded, and hundreds of Giant Wind Blade shot out, heading straight for Shen Long and Chu Buyu.
The Red Fire Flood Dragon unleashed a Red Sound Wave, blocking the incoming Giant Wind Blade.
The Red Giant Fist hurtled straight toward the man in the golden shirt, moving at great speed.
The golden-robed giant's body shone brightly with golden light, and a huge Golden Ape Phantom appeared above his head.
The Golden Ape Phantom let out an angry roar, unleashing a Golden Sound Wave that blocked the incoming Red Giant Fist.
A deafening dragon's roar rang out, and dozens of Giant Fireball hurtled towards them.
The burly man in the golden robe opened his mouth and spat out a Giant Axe that shimmered with golden light. It landed in his hand, and he slashed at the void. A huge Golden Axe Blade swept out and shattered the Giant Fireball that was attacking, as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.
A gust of wind blew past the man in golden robes, and Shen Long appeared, wielding the Li Fire Staff and sporting a pair of enormous golden wings on his back.
The burly man in the golden robe was terrified and was about to dodge when a sharp, piercing screech rang in his ears. He felt as if someone had punched him hard, leaving him dizzy and unable to stand steadily.
Shen Long swung his Li Fire Staff, smashing it towards the burly man in the golden robe.
The golden-robed giant's head shattered with a crash, turning his entire body into a pile of minced meat. The Li Fire Staff also smashed the head of the Cyan Giant Crane, and a Miniature Cyan Crane and a Nascent Soul flew out of its body. Shen Long summoned a Cyan Jade Bottle and sprayed out a cyan glow that enveloped the Nascent Soul, drawing it into the Cyan Jade Bottle.
A Cyan Gourd flew over, spewing out a cyan glow that enveloped the Miniature Cyan Crane and took it into the Cyan Gourd.
"How dare you commit violence at our doorstep? Do you think we don't exist?"
A chilling male voice echoed from the horizon.
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Golden Rainbow flew in from afar, moving at great speed.
Chu Buyu flicked his sleeve, and five red-glowing Flying Dagger shot out, merging into one halfway through the air, transforming into a Red Giant Blade over ten feet long, which met the attack head-on.
With a muffled clang of metal clashing, the Red Giant Blade flew backward, transforming into five red, gleaming throwing Flying Dagger mid-air.
The Golden Rainbow revealed its true form: a short, gleaming golden Short Blade, radiating astonishing Spiritual Qi —a Spirit Treasure.
Several Escape Light appeared on the distant horizon, then stopped in a flash, revealing three men and one woman, with Hao Hu in the lead.
One Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator, two Nascent Soul Middle Stage, and one Nascent Soul Early Stage.
They were out on business when they happened to witness Shen Long and Chu Buyu slaughtering their own clansmen.
"Fairy Chu, retreat quickly!"
Shen Long transmitted his voice to Chu Buyu, his tone anxious.
He roared to the sky, unleashing a burst of Red Sound Wave that shot straight towards Hao Hu and his companions.
Chu Buyu made a hand seal, Red Fire Flood Dragon opened its blood-red maw, spewing out dozens of Giant Fireball that crashed towards Hao Hu and his companions. The five Red Flying Knife merged back into one, transforming into a Red Giant Blade ten feet long, which headed straight for the other side.
A blinding red light shone from her back, and a pair of glowing red wings appeared.
The Red Fire Flood Dragon reverted to its original form, transforming into a Red Flying Knife that flew into Chu Buyu's sleeve.
Chu Buyu's Red Feathered Wings flapped gently on his back, and he disappeared from the spot.
Hao Hu's body shone with golden light, and a Giant Ape phantom appeared in the void above his head. The Giant Ape phantom spewed out a Golden Sound Wave, shattering the incoming Giant Fireball. The Golden Flying Knife collided with the Red Giant Blade again, Red Giant Blade flew backward again, transforming into five Flying Dagger flashing red light.
The three Nascent Soul Cultivator, two men and one woman, unleashed their Law Treasure and attacked Shen Long.
Shen Long swung his Li Fire Staff, creating numerous shadowy effects that deflected the incoming Law Treasure.
A cold glint flashed in Hao Hu's eyes, and he was about to unleash other Divine Ability when a crimson flame lit up not far behind them. Chu Buyu appeared in an instant; she had not abandoned Shen Long and fled alone.
Chu Buyu raised his right hand, and a round bead flashing with red light shot out, heading straight for Hao Hu and the other three.
Hao Hu inwardly cried out in alarm; he never expected Chu Buyu to launch a surprise attack.
"A cunning Human Race."
Hao Hu cursed inwardly and tried to dodge.
A sharp, piercing screech rang out, and the four of them immediately felt dizzy, as if someone had struck them on the head with a heavy object.
Hao Hu, being in the Nascent Soul Late Stage, was least affected. He summoned a small, shimmering Golden Small Umbrella, which released a large expanse of golden light, enveloping the four of them.
The Red Round Bead exploded, and a huge ball of Red Thunder Light shot into the sky, engulfing Hao Hu and his companions.
Having landed a successful blow, Chu Buyu transmitted his voice to Shen Long: "Let's retreat together."
"You brat, you're asking for it."
An extremely angry male voice rang out from within the Red Thunder Light.
A Golden Short Blade shot out, heading straight for Chu Buyu.
Just as Chu Buyu was about to dodge, a loud beastly roar rang out, and she felt as if her head had hit a wall of bronze and iron, making her dizzy.
Just as Chu Buyu was about to be cleaved in two by the Golden Short Blade, a beam of azure light appeared beside Chu Buyu, Shen Long appeared, wielding his Li Fire Staff to meet the attack.
With a clang, the metal clashed, and the Golden Flying Knife flew backward.
As the void rippled, a Golden Giant Hand appeared out of thin air above their heads and slammed down in their faces.
Shen Long roared to the sky, unleashing a Red Sound Wave that shattered the Golden Giant Hand.
He raised his right hand, and the Soul-Extinguishing Bead shot out, heading straight for Hao Hu and the other three.
Hao Hu also possesses Spirit Treasure, and this is the Golden Ape Tribe's stronghold; the longer they delay, the more dangerous it becomes for them.
At the same time, the Iron Tail Scorpion let out a sharp, piercing screech, and the Soul-Extinguishing Bead exploded, a huge ball of black light shining in the sky and engulfing a large area.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Long and Chu Buyu gently flapped their wings and disappeared from the spot.
Not long after, the black light dissipated, revealing the figures of Hao Hu and his companions. They were covered in dust and dirt, with small bloodstains visible on their bodies—injuries caused by the Thunder Pearl. Their auras were weak, and their souls had been severely damaged. The Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivators had fainted and become living dead.
Hao Hu's face turned grim. He never expected that his opponent possessed a treasure like the Soul-Extinguishing Bead. His soul was severely damaged, his strength plummeted, and his reflexes were far inferior to before. If he forced his way after them, his opponent might still have some hidden trump cards, and he would perish.
"Immediately use the Large Communication Array to notify other tribes to intercept these Human Race cultivators. The male cultivator is carrying a powerful Spirit Treasure."
Hao Hu gave the instructions.
For a Body Cultivator, possessing a heavy Spirit Treasure is like adding wings to a tiger, greatly enhancing their strength. Barbarian Race cultivators have powerful physical bodies, and heavy Spirit Treasure can significantly improve their strength. Only in this way will Nascent Soul Cultivator from other major tribes take action.
"Yes, High Priest."
A burly man in a blue robe agreed and left to carry out the order.
The news spread quickly, and the Barbarian Race mobilized many Nascent Soul Cultivator to capture the two Nascent Soul Cultivator.
