Chapter 78 Arrival
Chapter 78 Arrival
The Forget-Worry Pavilion and the rogue cultivator didn't take Yan Xiaoqi seriously at first. After all, he didn't have any spiritual energy and looked like an ordinary person. He was far less powerful than the other side, so the two of them got a good beating.
As a result, the evolved Kentucky Fried Chicken is now completely different from what it used to be. With a flap of its wings, a strong wind arose, directly blowing the Forget-Worry Pavilion and that rogue cultivator away.
In an instant, the balance of power shifted. Once in control, Yan Xiaoqi, who knew nothing of politeness, immediately turned into a robber.
"Hey, I'm talking to you guys! Take off your storage bags, shirts, pants, shoes, and socks! If you dare utter a single word of dissent, this master will kill you and steal your treasure!"
Yan Xiaoqi stood with his hands on his hips, looking like he was riding high. In Yan Xiaoqi's opinion, KFC was his, so wasn't KFC's strength the same as his strength?
From then on, Yan Xiaoqi no longer concealed his actions on the island, but began to rob and plunder.
With Kende around, Yan Xiaoqi was practically unstoppable. Of course, he wasn't stupid; he wouldn't pick on anyone above the seventh level of the Jade Void Realm. He hadn't forgotten what Master Xuanyi had said: Kende's current strength was enough to put up a fight with anyone within the Jade Void Realm, but winning was impossible. He could fight for a long time without losing to someone in the late Jade Void Realm, so he could just bully those in the mid-Jade Void Realm.
Despite calling it a robbery, Yan Xiaoqi didn't encounter many people on the way. There were only a hundred or so people on the island this time. It sounds like a lot, but with a hundred or so people randomly distributed on the island, which covers an area of over a hundred square kilometers, the probability of encountering each other is actually not high. He had already encountered two people once before, which was quite rare.
After all, they all came to the island to find treasures. Not many people flew up directly; most people walked, afraid of missing out on the treasures.
"KFC! Charge!"
Commanding Kend to defeat the monster, Yan Xiaoqi happily ran off to harvest the spiritual materials guarded by the monster, and then told Kend to run away.
It's hard to say whether it's because the island is so rich in resources or because Yan Xiaoqi is so lucky, but he picked up seven or eight different kinds of spiritual herbs and treasures along the way.
Jade Milk, Qingxin Stone, Purple Scale Serpent Coil Flower... plus the Black Lingzhi he snatched from that monster, Yan Xiaoqi already has more than ten treasures in his hands, and it has only been an hour since he arrived on the island.
Taking out two spirit fruits he had picked earlier, Yan Xiaoqi ate one himself and tossed the other to Kendall. He pondered what to do next: continue treasure hunting or go find the others to join him.
Before Yan Xiaoqi could make up his mind, someone else had already done so for him.
"Kid, you seem to have quite a lot of good stuff. Why don't you take it out and share it with everyone?"
Yan Xiaoqi turned around at the sound and saw two Tongtian Valley students approaching him.
One was covered in bandages and had an ominous face, while the other was the red-haired man who had tried to ambush Fang Xiu at the door earlier.
The two from Tongtian Valley were undoubtedly the strongest opponents Yan Xiaoqi had encountered since arriving on the island. Both of them were undoubtedly at the seventh level of the Jade Void Realm. With Kendall around, he could protect himself in a one-on-one fight without any worries, but a one-on-two fight would be a bit troublesome...
Thinking this, Yan Xiaoqi tensed up, but remained expressionless, even displaying a hint of sarcasm, mockery, and nonchalance.
"Oh, who do we have here? Isn't this the spineless coward who almost peed his pants in fear earlier?"
Although the situation was precarious, Yan Xiaoqi was the epitome of composure in the face of danger. He wouldn't lose face even if he lost the battle. Yan Xiaoqi's sharp sarcasm was like a resounding slap across the red-haired man's face.
"You bastard! You're asking for it!!"
The red-haired man, who already harbored ill intentions, was instantly enraged and released the corpse beast to kill Yan Xiaoqi.
"If you had handed over all your spoils earlier, you could have left by cutting off your own arm. Now I'm going to chop off your hands and feet and watch you die bit by bit!"
Each of the five academies has its own strengths. The Divine Academy adheres to the principle of education for all, encompassing all kinds of subjects, and is the one with the deepest foundation among the five academies. As for Tongtian Valley, it is good at cultivating and raising corpses. Of course, it is not an evil method of killing people to cultivate corpses, but an orthodox one. Otherwise, Tongtian Valley would have been wiped out as an evil sect long ago.
Although it is orthodox, the practice of corpse cultivation is too yin, and long-term exposure makes the students of Tongtian Valley particularly irritable and generally extreme in temperament, like a powder keg that can be ignited at any moment.
Red Hair formed hand seals, and two snake-shaped, bluish-gray monsters crawled out from his collar. These two monsters, which looked like snake monsters but were actually corpse beasts, spewed out a large amount of black mist under Red Hair's control.
The black mist was actually the enhanced and settled corpse energy within the body of the Corpse-Refining Beast. The rolling black mist swept in, leaving nothing but barren land in its wake. With Yan Xiaoqi's cultivation level, touching it would mean certain death.
Even if the black mist is deadly, it still has to hit someone first. Putting aside Yan Xiaoqi's defensive magic artifacts, this level is definitely not easy to pass.
Kendall blocked Yan Xiaoqi's path, and with a flap of his wings, a fierce wind arose, instantly causing the black mist to swirl back.
"A mere spirit beast? You think you can save yourself with that?"
Although Kendall's strength was surprising, as the saying goes, a mere spirit beast doesn't think it can stop them.
The strange man covered in bandages raised his hand and made a hand seal. There seemed to be something alive wriggling under the bandages. Once the opponent joined the fray, the battle would definitely change.
Yan Xiaoqi was already prepared to have Kendall lead him to retreat. Not only that, he also prepared a big gift for the two of them!
In Yan Xiaoqi's palm, he held a magical artifact. He didn't have much else, but he had a lot of these strange and unusual gadgets. Yan Xiaoqi was sure that the power of this magical artifact was enough to give the two people from Tongtian Valley a good beating.
However, things clearly didn't go that far. Just as Yan Xiaoqi was about to retreat, his expression suddenly changed, and a smile replaced his worry.
"Hmph! Two mere corpse handlers dare to try and show off in front of Yan Xiaoqi, the son of the King of Hell? Take this!"
Yan Xiaoqi simply pushed his palms out without forming any hand seals, and a fire dragon shot out from his palms.
The scorching flames burst forth with sweltering air currents, charring the cracked ground black.
Yin and evil things are most afraid of yang fire. The fire wave was terrifying. The fire dragon opened its mouth and not only swallowed the black mist, but also swallowed the two people from Tongtian Valley.
Flames scorched their flesh and blood, and the magical power on the bodies of the two Tongtian Valley people seemed to disappear. In the critical moment, the two took out teleportation tokens and crushed them, trying to escape from here. But to their despair, even after crushing the tokens, they were still trapped in the waves of fire.
"Aaaaaah! Spare me! Spare me!!"
Not only were they burned by the flames, but the backlash from the yin energy within their bodies caused them even more pain, forcing them to beg for mercy.
The flames died down, and the two people on the ground were now two lumps of charcoal, looking like they were only exhaling and not inhaling.
"Strange, why aren't they using tokens?"
Looking at the two lumps on the ground, Yan Xiaoqi was puzzled. Why were these two so stubborn, preferring death to leaving the island?
"It's not that they don't want to leave, it's that there's a problem with their teleportation tokens."
Fang Xiu answered Yan Xiaoqi's question. He stepped out from behind Yan Xiaoqi and withdrew his hand, which had been resting on Yan Xiaoqi's back to transfer magical power to him.
Fang Xiu had arrived earlier, and the final fire dragon was naturally his doing. Fang Xiu had clearly seen that both of them had made a move to crush the tokens, but it did not have the desired effect.
I imagine that others will soon discover this as well.
"Huh? Then this thing is useless, isn't it?"
Yan Xiaoqi pulled out the teleportation token from his pocket, his expression fell, and he made a move to throw it away.
"Alright, keep this for now, it might come in handy later. The situation on the island has changed, let's find Xiao Hu and the others first."
