Chapter 550: Chapter 536 Extortion

Rumbling!

At the end of Wu Pojun’s line of sight, he could see the Konghou beasts of the King Martial Realm moving their massive bodies and knocking down many towering trees, charging toward this direction. Their crimson eyes tore through the void, all fixed upon Wu Pojun.

At this moment, Wu Pojun felt as if he had fallen into an ice pit, his whole body chilling.

If so many King Martial Realm ferocious beasts surrounded him, and there was no one around to be his ally, he would surely have a slim chance of survival.

"Has this guy gone mad!"

Shock showed in Wu Pojun’s eyes as he watched Xiao Ye actively charge toward these ferocious beasts.

Xiao Ye dared, but he did not!

If he charged forth, he had no doubt that these ferocious beasts would shred him to pieces.

Between his life and Elder Yang’s inheritance, as well as Little White, he obviously chose the former. As for Xiao Ye’s life, he didn’t care at all. He just regretted in his heart that once Xiao Ye was torn apart by these ferocious beasts, then he would never have the chance to obtain Elder Yang’s inheritance again.

"Damn it!" Wu Pojun cursed inwardly as he saw the King Martial Realm ferocious beasts getting closer. Gritting his teeth fiercely, he was already preparing to flee.

Before running away, Wu Pojun unwillingly looked back. He wanted to witness with his own eyes the scene of Xiao Ye being torn apart by these King Martial ferocious beasts.

But he was quickly stunned.

He saw Xiao Ye charging toward these King Martial Realm ferocious beasts, yet the beasts, as if not noticing Xiao Ye at all, did not attack him. Instead, they bypassed Xiao Ye and chased after him.

"How... how is this possible? Why aren’t these ferocious beasts dealing with Xiao Ye?"

Wu Pojun’s head was spinning, and his eyes almost popped out of his skull, as if he had seen a ghost. At this moment, he finally understood the meaning behind Xiao Ye’s words from before.

Xiao Ye had known all along that these ferocious beasts were hiding in this forest. Furthermore, he intentionally lured him here, wanting to use these ferocious beasts to get rid of him!

He had naively thought before that he had the upper hand, but it turned out that Xiao Ye was the hunter, and he was the prey.

Xiao Ye rushed behind these ferocious beasts, paused, and sarcastically looked at Wu Pojun: "Senior Brother Wu, didn’t you want to chase me? Why don’t you dare to come over now? It seems I was right before; you really are a coward!"

Hearing Xiao Ye’s venomous words, Wu Pojun was so angry he almost spat blood.

Damn it, among the disciples of Earth Hall, anyone who encounters so many King Martial Realm ferocious beasts would have to kneel, okay?

"Bastard, bastard, Xiao Ye you little bastard, how dare you trick me!" Wu Pojun could not be bothered to think about why these ferocious beasts were not attacking Xiao Ye. He cursed loudly, then swiftly rushed toward the outskirts of the forest.

With such a narrow space here, only him alone, and Xiao Ye lurking nearby, he had no chance of winning and could only flee for his life.

Roar!

In such a short time frame, these ferocious beasts were already very close to Wu Pojun.

Furthermore, with Little White secretly manipulating, those flying ferocious beasts continuously interfered with Wu Pojun, significantly slowing down his speed. The unrelenting pursuit of the ferocious beasts grew even closer.

Even with Martial Break Jun’s profound cultivation, in such a desperate flight for his life, he was left in a sorry state by the relentless attacks of the flying fierce beasts. His body bore numerous wounds, some deep enough to reveal bone, which greatly impeded his speed.

Left with no choice, the ferocious beasts selected by the Taiyi Palace elders to guard the holy gates are strong without exception. Not to mention the difficulty faced when so many of them launched a collective assault, Martial Break Jun was naturally overwhelmed.

"Ah!"

With a miserable scream, Martial Break Jun was struck by the massive paw of a King Martial Realm fierce beast that had caught up from behind. He tumbled into the ring of encircling beasts and was besieged.

Boom!

A vast King Realm aura rose behind Martial Break Jun, causing the bodies of several King Martial Realm fierce beasts to stagger. Seizing the opportunity, he dashed out, but not without sustaining several more wounds.

Watching the eager and once again catching up army of fierce beasts, Martial Break Jun’s face reddened with anger, and he bellowed at Xiao Ye, "Xiao Ye, you dare to betray me! If I die here, the Holy Palace will certainly not spare you. Murdering a fellow disciple is a grave sin. You’d better come and help me escape now!"

Xiao Ye stood with his hands behind his back, flying in mid-air. Not a single fierce beast dared to offend him; he looked extremely suave, in stark contrast to Martial Break Jun’s disheveled state.

Hearing Martial Break Jun’s frantic words, Xiao Ye couldn’t help but offer a slight smile, saying, "Senior Brother Wu, surely you don’t naively believe that I can control these fierce beasts?"

"Even Senior Brother Wu can’t break out of the encirclement of these fierce beasts. My cultivation is so much weaker than yours; how could I possibly help you?"

"Besides, if Senior Brother Wu dies at the hands of these fierce beasts, what does that have to do with me? If the Holy Palace seeks accountability, you would just become a wandering soul, whereas I remain a disciple of the Earth Hall."

Upon hearing Xiao Ye’s words, Martial Break Jun staggered, nearly tumbling to the ground.

Xiao Ye led him here, and then suddenly, so many King Martial Realm fierce beasts appeared. It was obvious, even to a fool, that Xiao Ye was involved. Yet, this guy was now completely denying it.

But what Xiao Ye said wasn’t wrong.

Even if the Holy Palace investigated later, they would never trace the incident back to Xiao Ye. After all, with no eyewitnesses, who could guess that the fierce beasts guarding the gate would suddenly go berserk and attack, yet not attack Xiao Ye?

Thinking of this, Martial Break Jun’s guts turned green with regret.

He really shouldn’t have chosen to make a move against Xiao Ye here; now he had trapped himself as well.

Facing the flying fierce beasts swooping towards him again, Martial Break Jun felt darkness before his eyes, unable to see a glimmer of hope.

"Hmph, Xiao Ye, don’t think that these fierce beasts can truly kill me. I do have a life-saving object on me!"

Just as Martial Break Jun was ready to fight to the death, Xiao Ye’s indifferent voice came again: "However, Senior Brother Wu, it’s not that I can’t help you. It all depends on your attitude now!"

Hearing this, Martial Break Jun was first stunned, then ecstatically replied, "Junior Brother Xiao, as long as you’re willing to help me, I’ll agree to any conditions."

At this moment, Martial Break Jun was only thinking about saving his own life; how could he still care about Elder Yang’s inheritance?

"Alright," Xiao Ye said, a smile appearing on his face. "Senior Brother Wu, please take out all of your King Crystals."

"And the long saber in your hand, it must be a Royal Artifact, right? Hand that over too."

Xiao Ye paused briefly in his speech, and then continued, "Oh right, that life-saving object you mentioned, bring that out too."
