Above the Heavenly Dome, two Flying King Devices maintained the same speed, swiftly cutting through the air, with the sound of wind tearing through their wake.
This time, the treasure escorted by Frostwind Commerce was actually related to Barbarian Valley. Despite the martial artists from Frostwind Commerce vehemently denying it, Xiao Ye could instantly see the guilt in their eyes.
"What could be the treasure from Barbarian Valley?" Xiao Ye pondered as his gaze swept over the chests atop the Flying King Device.
"Enough talk. If you hand over the treasure from Barbarian Valley and sever your own hands willingly, to spare us the trouble of doing it ourselves, this old man might consider sparing your lives!" The grey-robed elder said coldly.
"Old fool, you’re an Elder of Earth Commerce. Don’t you know that asking us to hand over the treasure we’re escorting would ruin the reputation of our commerce guild? Dream on!"
"Brothers, if push comes to shove, we’ll fight this old fool to the death!"
The middle-aged man of Frostwind Commerce roared, stepping forward with a long knife in his hand and a towering war intent as he locked eyes with the martial artists aboard the opposing Flying King Device.
"We swear to protect the escorted treasure with our lives!" The thirty martial artists of Frostwind Commerce roared in unison, standing behind the middle-aged man. Each one erupted with a formidable aura, as unflinching as a rainbow, ready to meet death head-on.
"Heh, you people from Frostwind Commerce really are cheap. Once this old man has broken your bones, let’s see if you can still be so arrogant!" The grey-robed elder laughed in anger, and with a wave of his skinny palm, a hundred martial artists behind him roared in unison, unleashing a powerful aura and charged towards the Frostwind Commerce.
"Please guard these treasures. We’ll hold them off!" The leading middle-aged man from Frostwind Commerce said, looking at Xiao Ye, Jin Qiaoqiao, and the others, letting out a low growl. He stomped his foot, soaring into the air.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The rest of the Frostwind Commerce martial artists followed suit, determined to stop the martial artists from Earth Commerce.
Remaining on the Flying King Device, besides Xiao Ye, Jin Qiaoqiao, and the other four, were only seven martial artists from the side of Frostwind Commerce.
Seeing their thirty companions charge out like moths to a flame, the seven martial artists clenched their teeth and maneuvered the Flying King Device, changing direction and rushing off in another route.
Xiao Ye sighed lightly upon seeing this. The thirty martial artists from Frostwind Commerce who had charged out were likely not going to survive.
Even though he didn’t know those martial artists, their action of risking their lives to protect the escorted treasure still earned his utmost admiration.
"I should help them," Xiao Ye thought. After all, he had taken on this task, and if it wasn’t too much trouble, he was willing to lend a hand to Frostwind Commerce.
Just as he was about to step out, a sneering laugh passed through the air.
"These fools really have brain issues. Earth Commerce has dispatched a hundred martial artists, most of whom are strong warriors of the King Martial Realm. They still rush forward instead of choosing to escape. I really don’t understand what they’re thinking!"
"But this is good for us. Now that they’ve lured away Earth Commerce’s martial artists, we can complete our mission safely."
Xiao Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, releasing a cold glint, and couldn’t help but turn to look.
The femininely featured Ye Tiannan wore a face full of cold laughter as he spoke to Jin Qiaoqiao. Meanwhile, the plain-looking Jiang Sheng had a look of fear on his face.
Seeing Ye Tiannan’s expression, Xiao Ye felt a surge of anger well up in his heart, and all his pent-up dissatisfaction towards Ye Tiannan burst forth.
He might not have any particular feelings for Frostwind Commerce, but they were risking their lives to draw away the enemy!
"Hmph, since you’re hiding here making sarcastic remarks, why not join me on the battlefield!" Xiao Ye snorted coldly, prepared to drag Ye Tiannan into battle with him.
The flying King Device, which had been speeding through the sky, suddenly trembled, followed by the shaking of the entire heaven and earth.
Xiao Ye’s expression changed slightly as he saw the grey-robed Elder from Earth Commerce approaching with over forty Martial Artists aboard their Flying King Device.
The grey-robed Elder swung his hand, and the force of the King Martial Power surged tumultuously, forming a giant handprint that smashed directly into the Flying King Device of Xiao Ye’s group.
"Haha, do you really think that mere thirty pieces of trash can stop the people of Earth Commerce? You’re thinking too simply! I have never failed to get what I want!" The grey-robed Elder laughed loud and coldly as the Flying King Device under their feet sped up once again, chasing after them like a streak of light.
Clearly, the Flying King Device of Earth Commerce was of a higher level than that of Frostwind Commerce, quickly closing the distance between them.
Frostwind Commerce’s remaining seven Martial Artists changed their expression drastically and lifted their crossbows, shooting arrows at Earth Commerce’s Flying King Device, trying to stop their advance.
Unfortunately, their arrows were too ordinary, and as soon as they got close, they were shattered by the Energy Shield that had risen from the Flying King Device of the pursuers.
"Haha, don’t bother resisting, just hand over the treasure from Emperor Valley without a fight, and maybe you can still save your lives!" The grey-robed Elder laughed arrogantly, ready to pounce like a hunting Ferocious Beast.
"You... you all get moving, stop them!" Ye Tiannan’s complexion turned pale as he yelled at the Martial Artists of Frostwind Commerce on the Flying King Device.
The seven Martial Artists from Frostwind Commerce glared at Ye Tiannan with contempt.
They had invited Ye Tiannan to escort the items, not to give orders here; he was really too afraid of death.
Even Jin Qiaoqiao looked at Ye Tiannan with a flash of disgust in her eyes.
"Brother Jiang Sheng, don’t waste time with this useless trash; let’s protect the treasure together!" Jin Qiaoqiao took out a slender Longsword from her Space Ring and walked over to stand beside the Martial Artists of Frostwind Commerce, ready to help them resist the enemy.
"Okay!" The ordinary-looking Jiang Sheng also followed suit.
"Sister Qiaoqiao, are you mad? With the power and numbers of Earth Commerce, with our level of Cultivation, charging in is suicide!" Ye Tiannan yelled from behind.
But at that very moment— Follow current novels on noᴠelfire.net
A violent sound of a sonic boom suddenly rang out. A colossal Light Arrow, like a meteor, burst forth with a long trail and pierced through the bodies of two King Martial Realm Martial Artists from Earth Commerce, exploding them into a shower of blood as their mangled bodies plummeted down.
This scene stunned everyone; that arrow was just too terrifying.
"If you’re afraid of dying, then get lost. We’re enough for this mission!" An icy voice rang out.
