1053 Surrounded by Enemies (1/2)
”Bro Bei! There's no need to think anymore! Let's split now! We'll be dead when the Xiuhcoatl King arrives!” Qie Loulan cautioned. ”Back then, when it attacked me, it was just a monster with pinnacle phase of True Nirvana cultivation but after so long, its cultivation has probably reached later phase of Celestial cultivation! He will turn into a terrifying foe once it activates its talent!”
”Chen Xiaobei! Let's go! We can come back when my True Qi recovers!” Phantom Rain urged.
”No! Even if your True Qi is recovered, we won't be able to return!” Qie Loulan said, ”Even if you are perfectly healed and recovered, you will never be able to defeat the Xiuhcoatl King!”
”I…”
Phantom Rain flinched but did not argue against Qie Loulan's statement.
If the Xiuhcoatl King had reached later phase of Celestial cultivation, its combat power could reach up to 110,000. Combined with that god-defying special ability they had, Phantom Rain would only become the victim of their torture!
Rumble… Rumble…
From afar, the earth quaked and the dust on the ground filled the air.
The Xiuhcoatl King was aroused and he was going to avenge his offspring!
Ssss… Ssss…
The knot of Xiuhcoatls lowered their heads meekly, welcoming the presence of their king.
”Let's go…”
Chen Xiaobei submitted. While he was unwilling, retreating was the safest, most pacific decision.
”Chen Xiaobei! Where do you think you're going? Get ready to surrender!”
A voice came from behind where five silhouettes were storming toward Chen Xiaobei.
”Huh?!”
Chen Xiabei's exploded in anger the moment he saw them.
He recognized all five of them—they were Nikkawa Uchu and the four Enigmatic Ninjas.
But Chen Xiaobei's anger was not directed at them.
He turned his gaze towards Phantom Rain, his eyes ablaze, and said in a frosty tone, ”I gave you the Hundred Herbs Potion! I risked my life to fight these creatures and you sold me out?! How could you be so cold-blooded?”
”I… I did not…” Phantom Rain said innocently, ”I don't know how they were able to find us here…”
”Save it!” Chen Xiaobei cut her off. His eyes darkened, and said with an edge in his voice, ”Since you're here, let's finish this!”
He had not wanted to start a war with his enemies but Phantom Rain's betrayal infuriated him. And now, he had decided to settle it once and for all!
”Bro Bei! Are you going to fight them?” Qie Loulan asked anxiously.
Right now, they were in a precarious situation. One wrong move and they would be eternally doomed.
”Bring me to the treasury first!” Chen Xiaobei was pissed but his managed to keep his head level.
Even with his trump card and resources, Chen Xiaobei might not have a guaranteed win.
If he had all the 10,000 Spiritual Stones, then the chances of him winning would triple.
”There's no way… We can't possibly go any deeper into this area…”
Qie Loulan shook his head dejectedly.
They could not even move past the Xiuhcoatl horde. How were they supposed to get through the Xiuhcoatl King?
”If I say we can, we can!” Chen Xiaobei took out the Spirit Cage and ordered, ”Go back. I'll let you out after I've made it past the Xiuhcoatl horde!”
