Chapter 260

"Pah!"

Heng Xian spat and wiped the lizard blood off his face.

This lizard had highly toxic poison in its body; if an ordinary Qi Hai Realm cultivator were swallowed, there would be no life left.

But his Ancient Sword Saint True Body could resist more than half, and as for the remaining small half of the toxin, naturally, he used the spirit grass guarded by the Lizard King to detoxify it.

He looked back at the sect disciples and the lizard group and fox group fighting in a mess, tapped his feet, and darted straight toward the direction of the Fox King's chair.

When he got close, he saw a purple vine on the chair, and the vine only bore a small purple crystal gourd, with a fragrant smell.

His figure leaped, he picked it up casually, and then without stopping, he darted straight toward the swamp on the other side.

Ye Hongxue, Jiang Ruyan, and the group surrounded by fire foxes and lizards saw it clearly, only feeling a stifling air in their hearts, rushing straight to their lungs, almost spitting out blood.

Where was today about coming to catch the "cat-faced man"?

It was clearly that everyone had been conscripted by the "cat-faced man"!

Whether it was the sect disciples, the lizard group, or the fox group, they were all played in the palm of his hand.

Both sides were fighting to the death here, while he was strolling leisurely to pick spirit fruits.

Ye Hongxue's eyes were red, and he roared: "Cat-faced man, I, Ye Hongxue, will not share the sky with you!"

"Is that so?"

Heng Xian, who was flying, turned his head to look, revealing an incomparably bright smile, his teeth white and neat.

"I... pfft—"

Ye Hongxue was overcome with anger, and a mouthful of stagnant blood was spat out.

He Bizhi, who was entangled with the Fox King above, also had a face ashen, his figure stumbling, and his blood energy surging.

And Heng Xian's speed did not decrease, he had already reached the side of the Lizard King's human bone mud pool, and saw a crystal-clear melon vine by the pool, on which only one juicy watermelon grew, emitting bursts of misty spiritual energy.

He reached out and picked it.

Together with the gourd, he stuffed it into the storage bag.

Then, looking at the sect disciples and the two major monster groups still fighting and entangled, he waved his hand and shouted: "Everyone, keep busy, I'm leaving first!"

After speaking, regardless of the mood and reaction of the sect disciples and the two beast kings, he stretched, took a few steps to the mountain corner, leaped, bounced to the top of the mountain, and swaggered away on the other side.

"Pfft—"

He Bizhi in mid-air finally spat out a mouthful of old blood.

"Mind as one, do not get angry!"

Niu Wanli beside him supported him, then scanned the bottom and shouted: "There aren't many foxes and lizards left, everyone use your life-bound magic treasures, kill a path, take the junior brothers and sisters and leave first!"

Jiang Ruyan, Ye Hongxue, and the group below immediately drove their respective life-bound magic treasures, instantly pushing a bloody path, and led the low-level disciples to retreat toward the Toad Forest direction.

Niu Wanli, Yu Qiuyi, Xiao Yujian, and the eight people in the sky saw this, waved their magic treasures together, repelled the Fox King and Lizard King, and also retreated to the Toad Forest.

However, the Fox King and Lizard King sensed that the spirit fruits were gone and couldn't find the person who picked them, so they were relentless and followed closely behind.

The group had no choice but to retreat and fight while protecting the low-level disciples, running for a full hundred miles before completely shaking off the two beast kings.

Around them was a safe forest, and the group sat on the ground in a mess.

No one spoke, everyone felt that their hearts were blocked very tightly.

The people present were all elite disciples of major sects, all having some pride and confidence, yet today, everyone's IQ was trampled under the feet of one person and rubbed.

This was no longer embarrassment; this was... a great humiliation!

After a long while, Niu Wanli caught his breath and looked at the group of low-level disciples: "Has the Fox King's psychedelic aura lessened?"

The group of low-level disciples nodded silently: "Much better!"

Niu Wanli and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was just the Fox King's illusion, not fox poison, otherwise, the spirit fruits guarded by the Fox King would have been picked by the "cat-faced man," and without an antidote, the low-level junior brothers and sisters would have been wiped out in one pot!

He Bizhi really couldn't help it and said angrily: "We didn't have a shred of contempt for him, and it seems we didn't expose our tracks either. Over two hundred people, nearly twenty Primordial Dan Realm cultivators, suddenly appeared, joining forces to surround and capture a Qi Hai Realm junior. This... shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Niu Wanli sighed: "Even if you talk to the nine heavens, there is no problem at all!"

"But, we were played by him!" He Bizhi clenched his fists, his eyes blood-red.

Zixi not far away looked at him blankly; it had been many years since she had seen her senior brother so out of character!

Jiang Ruyan pondered for a moment, her face solemn: "Think carefully, whether it was escaping from under the Toad King, or arriving at the Fox and Lizard Valley, including him being swallowed by the giant lizard,

Every step seemed to have been rehearsed many times. In terms of grasping timing and courage, this person can be called a genius!

I suddenly understand the statement of your batch; this person's intellect is indeed close to a demon. Even if the cultivation is much higher than his, there is no way to deal with him!"

Yu Qiuyi smiled bitterly and said: "Yes! Escaping from under the Toad King, a step slower, either die or be captured by us.

In the Fox and Lizard Valley, in a flash of lightning, he bet on our carelessness, used the Fox King and Lizard King, and then calmly faced the pursuit of the two Primordial Dan Realm experts, Brother He and Brother Xiao, deliberately being swallowed by the highly toxic lizard,

Taking advantage of us fighting into a pot of porridge, he calmly crawled out of the lizard's belly and picked two spirit fruits to leave.

Every step was so shrewd that people had nothing to say. To be honest, this kind of ghostly approach, let me follow and learn it again, not only do I not have the courage, but I can't do it either.

The most critical thing is, we don't know if he did it on the spur of the moment or deliberately laid it out, this is very important!"

If it was on the spur of the moment, then this person is too, too terrifying!

If it was laid out in advance, then everyone has to be on guard.

The group looked at each other, all feeling a sense of powerlessness.

Niu Wanli smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Let's not provoke him for the time being, hide a bit, study how to pass the trial first, after all, the opportunity is still important!"

Ye Hongxue's face was awkward: "To be honest, if you want to pass the trial, I feel like you still have to learn from this cat-faced man. Although this person is extremely annoying, his path is very correct!"

He Bizhi thought for a moment and said: "These few days, he seems to have been picking spirit grasses and spirit fruits guarded by beast groups and poisonous creatures!"

Jiang Ruyan said: "Then, starting tomorrow, we will also try our best to scrape up spirit grasses and spirit fruits. This kind of thing can not only be used to detoxify but also provide a massive amount of pure spiritual energy!"

After discussing properly, and waiting for the low-level disciples' Fox King illusion to dissipate, the group returned to the valley where they were stationed.

On a mountain peak that the group passed by, there was a cave in a pile of strange rocks. Heng Xian took off his armor and mask, revealing his original appearance, while observing the sect disciples below through the cracks, while holding a piece of watermelon and eating heartily. Not to mention, the spirit melon guarded by the Lizard King was super sweet, and the spiritual energy was at least three times more than the spirit mushrooms and spirit grasses he had eaten in the past few days.

"Good stuff!"

Heng Xian sighed, turned back, finished the watermelon, then sat cross-legged, preparing to refine the sixth Qi Sea, and murmured: "Five days left!"
