With better luck, you get killed on the spot in a counterattack; with worse luck, you bring your teammates down with you.
He’s not foolish. What he needs to do now is to keep an eye on this group, barely qualifying as human, to avoid adding chaos to Cen Yueyue’s side.
"Traitors shall die! Attack!" Latest content published on NoveI~Fire.net
Unlike her usual graceful and demure demeanor, Cen Yueyue now exhibits a heroic and imposing presence, her long hair fluttering, her moves wide and sweeping, elegant yet with fierce aggressiveness, and her occasionally shouting voice is full of pressure.
Although the realm of the two siblings is close, their strengths differ drastically. Mainly because Cen Yueyue is covered in treasures; she casually maneuvers seven or eight Magic Treasures at once, leaving her opponent completely unable to retaliate. No wonder Hou Zhongxiao’s first reaction upon seeing Cen Yueyue was to use these ignorant civilians as shields.
Rather than challenging her directly.
"No wonder Yu Ying rates her so highly."
"If it were me, I would probably have been paralyzed on the spot by that slap, unable to dodge, only able to endure."
"There are three hairpins behind my buttocks, distracted and multi-tasking; I better just enjoy the spectacle."
Glancing at those "ordinary villagers," as far as the eye can see, over half of the original three to four hundred people have either died or been injured, all fighting each other brutally over the Immortal Elixir, with many not content with just one.
Some even fought over others’ Immortal Elixir, ultimately falling off the cliff together, perishing together.
Looking at the path downhill, some, after seizing the so-called Immortal Elixir, wisely chose to stop and leave immediately, but...
"Even if they snatched these things, they still couldn’t survive. After all, it’s just psychological comfort."
"Hou Zhongxiao was right; he indeed lacks catalysts. There are many Gu Worm larvae in the rear hall, but those formed in the shape of Elixirs are still being cultivated and not activated."
"The real indestructibility effects lie in these few beings."
Looking at the two people he had just thrown down from the roof, their bodies filled with Gu Worms, followed by those unusually shaped gremlins, their bodies riddled with awakening Gu Worms.
A group of people huddled beside these monster corpses, devouring and sucking on the flesh and blood, enchanted by the taste as if possessed, their eyes blood red, exactly like the villagers Jiang Feng saw in Yi Village.
In the distance, a group of sneaky old men were approaching the rear hall.
Knowing they had no power to compete with others for the Immortal Elixir, they took a different approach by sneaking into the Upper Immortal’s residence amidst the chaos, hoping to scavenge some valuable treasures.
Near the entrance, the crowd was still restless, with several hundred people severely injured or dead, fiercely fighting over the Immortal Elixir, leading to a bloody and deadly struggle. Some even pushed others off the cliff to reduce competition.
Jiang Feng could only shake his head at this scene; the natural selection will sift out those who are suited to survive.
"Descendants of wolves and dogs."
A rather grim voice sounded beside his ear.
Focusing to look, the two people in the distance were in the heat of battle, two fierce beasts flying directly from the silver crown she usually wore on her head!
The previously rather graceful Hou Zhongxiao was now covered in scars, his clothes torn and ragged, looking somewhat wretched, with blood still streaming from the corner of his mouth.
With a shock in his heart, Hou Zhongxiao immediately twisted his body and jumped into the crowd, but unfortunately, everyone was now scrambling for the scattered Gu Worms on the ground, completely indifferent to the Upper Immortal who they once worshipped as a deity.
Eventually, Hou Zhongxiao completely abandoned his dignity, hid among the crowd, and roared loudly.
"If you dare, kill me along with these commoners!"
