"Damn it, fourth rank spirit beasts are really scary!" A King Stage warrior in the sky cursed.
"Unless the Supreme Elder can rush over, we won't get a share of these gourd fruits!" Another King Stage warrior said.
"Look, isn't that … isn't that a Golden Feathered Eagle?" A sharp-eyed King Stage warrior finally noticed the Golden Feathered Eagle on top of a giant tree.
"Let's run before it moves."
Swoosh!
In an instant, a few King Stage warriors who were afraid of death ran away without hesitation.
A fourth rank Golden Feathered Eagle was equivalent to a human King Stage warrior, and it was a cruel spirit beast that liked to eat humans, so of course it had a certain deterrent effect.
There were only seven King Stage warriors left, and Lie Ming of the Purple Sky Sect didn't run away. He just looked at the gourd fruits greedily, thinking about how to get them.
At this time, a middle-aged man in a starry robe said indifferently, "There are a total of five divine fruits in the gourd. Why don't we work together to drive away these spirit beasts, and then fight for them with our own strength?"
A brawny man with a giant sword on his back looked at the middle-aged man arrogantly, and finally nodded, "I have no problem with that."
"I also have no problem with that!" At this time, the others all responded in unison.
"If that's the case, then let's go down. We don't want to be trampled by those spirit beasts." The middle-aged man in the starry robe said as he took the lead and flew down.
At the same time, a bronze mirror appeared in his hand. The bronze mirror flashed, and a pure white light blasted towards the fourth rank Dark Leopard.
This middle-aged man was a King Stage warrior of the light attribute, and he chose the Dark Leopard because he wanted to use light to counter darkness. It was indeed a wise move.
In the eyes of others, they thought that he was too picky. He actually chose the weakest Dark Leopard among the fourth rank Dark Leopards.
The brawny man with the giant sword on his back cursed, "Shameless!"
Then, he also took out his giant sword and found his opponent, the Armored Dragon.
The other King Stage warriors also made their moves. They all chose the fourth rank Low or middle rank Spirit Beasts, and no one dared to provoke the higher rank Spirit Beasts.
Rumble!
For a time, the scene became abnormally chaotic.
Giant trees were blasted into smithereens, and rocks were sent flying. Only the striped "rock" remained in its original spot, seemingly unaffected by any attack.
Ling Xiao hurriedly retreated to a safe place to hide. At the same time, he activated the Vajra Five Transformation Technique, ready to defend against any random energy attacks.
At this time, the middle-aged man in the starry robe who attacked the Black Shadow Panther first actually managed to severely injure the Black Shadow Panther within three moves.
From this, it could be seen that the middle-aged man's strength was definitely not low level. At the very least, he was at the middle level or high level.
After the middle-aged man sent the Black Shadow Leopard flying, he did not stop and instantly flew towards the gourd of Holy Fruits. A pleased smile appeared on his face, as if the gourd of Holy Fruits belonged to him.
Hu!
The one-eyed demonic beast, which no one had provoked until now, caught sight of the middle-aged man in the starry robe and sprayed a mouthful of poisonous mist at him.
"Hmph, what can a mere poisonous fog do to me!"
The middle-aged man in the starry robe snorted disdainfully and leaped up. The Copper Mirror in his hand flashed again and a ball of light shone towards the one-eyed demonic beast.
However, the one-eyed demonic beast was not afraid of the brilliant light attack. Its single eye also flashed with a gray beam of light, which collided with the light emitted by the Copper Mirror.
Swoosh swoosh!
The two beams of light instantly dissipated, and the middle-aged man in the starry robe was not in the mood to continue fighting. He seized the opportunity and once again flew towards the gourd of Holy Fruits.
He had already raised his speed to the extreme, and the one-eyed demonic beast could not catch up.
Seeing that the middle-aged man in the starry robe was about to succeed, the advanced-stage Fourth Order Tempest Greedy Wolf pounced towards him like a bolt of lightning, its deep fangs filled with bloodlust.
The middle-aged man in the starry robe had no choice but to retreat again.
On the other side, the burly man with the huge back had already chopped off the Steel Armored Dragon's huge tail.
The Steel Armored Dragon let out a panicked scream and did not dare to continue fighting. It turned and ran towards the forest.
"Trying to escape? No way!"
The burly man snorted disdainfully. With a single kick, he chased after the Steel Armored Dragon and cut it in two from his vantage point.
The fresh blood was splattered all over the grass, giving off an unusually foul stench.
However, not every King Rank expert was able to smoothly defeat their opponents.
A King Stage martial artist wielding a pair of hooks went up to the advanced-stage Fourth Order Flame Python.
At first, he was able to restrain the Flame Python's elemental attacks by relying on his water attribute, and he even managed to break the snake's body several times.
He thought that victory was in his grasp, but unfortunately, he made a mistake in dodging and was tightly bound by the Flame Python's coiled body.
In the end, the King Stage martial artist did not struggle much and was directly strangled to death.
The rest of the King Stage martial artists were battered and exhausted by their opponents and their own spirit beasts.
At the same level, the strength of spirit beasts was much stronger than that of humans.
Lie Mingqiang of the Purple Sky Sect was a careful and cautious person.
He did not go up against the spirit beast alone, but instead went up against a four-winged mantis with another King Stage martial artist.
During the battle, Lie Mingqiang did not go all out. Instead, he allowed the other King Stage martial artist to fight the four-winged mantis while he launched sneak attacks from time to time.
The King Stage martial artist who had joined hands with him was so angry that he vomited blood.
He could not help but curse, "You are too shameless! Why are you not using your ultimate move to kill it?"
Lie Ming Qiang grinned and didn't pay attention to his opponent. He just kept dodging and fighting.
The four-winged mantis seemed to think that the King Stage martial artist was its strongest opponent, so it did not pay much attention to Lie Mingqiang. It only chased after the King Stage martial artist, vowing to kill him.
The King Stage martial artist was about to go crazy. He had no choice but to use all of his strength and finally cut off one of the wings of the four-winged mantis, which could be considered as a heavy blow to the mantis.
Lie Mingqiang seized the opportunity, and the golden spear in his hand pierced through the tail of the four-winged mantis with irresistible force.
The four-winged mantis let out a blood-curdling scream and fell heavily from the sky, dead.
Lie Mingqiang glanced disdainfully at the panting King Stage martial artist and hid far away, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
At this time, the battle had reached its climax.
The Tempest Greedy Wolf and the Earth-splitting Violent Tiger had already begun to fight against the star-robed old man and the towering man.
The other fourth grade spirit beasts were still fighting against the King Stage martial artist, and it was difficult to determine who was superior for a while.
Although the battle was quite fierce, the Holy Fruit in the center of the gourd was not damaged at all. It seemed that as long as any energy sputtered over, it would inexplicably dissipate.
Aooo!
Suddenly, the cry of an eagle resounded through the sky.
Whoosh!
A giant golden figure flew towards the Holy Gourd Fruit at an unimaginably fast speed.
In just an instant, it arrived half a meter away from the Holy Fruit.
The Tempest Greedy Wolf and the Earth-splitting Violent Tiger did not care about their opponents and ran towards the Holy Fruit.
The star-robed middle-aged man and the towering man also realized the urgency of the situation, and they simultaneously used their powerful profound skills to attack the giant golden figure.
Rumble!
A powerful energy curtain rippled around the Holy Fruit.
All the King Stage martial artists were dumbfounded. How could the Holy Fruit survive such a powerful energy attack?
Whoosh!
A strange sound came out, and a gray smoke spread out.
All the King Stage martial artists retreated at the same time, and the Golden Feathered Eagle also let out a strange cry and hurriedly fled from the smoke.
The Tempest Greedy Wolf's reaction was not slow, but the Earth-splitting Violent Tiger was the slowest, and was swallowed by the smoke.
When the smoke gradually dissipated, a spirit beast the size of a small hill appeared in front of everyone.
Wasn't this the Colorful Toad that had been quietly guarding the Holy Fruit?
No one had expected that the "rock" that had been guarding the Holy Fruit was actually the Colorful Toad in disguise.
Looking at the pile of white bones beside the Colorful Toad, everyone's expression changed.
Wasn't that the skeleton of the Earth-splitting Violent Tiger?
It had actually been corroded by a cloud of poisonous smoke.
The colorful toad stood guard in front of the gourd's holy fruit, which was completely unscathed. It let out a series of whooshing noises, and a few wisps of poisonous mist constantly sprayed out from its nostrils. Its large, eerily calm eyes looked around at the enemies who wanted to snatch its spirit fruit.
"It's … it's the Colorful Toad!" A King Stage martial artist exclaimed, trembling.
"What a strong poison, I'm afraid even the elders wouldn't dare to approach it!" Another King Stage martial artist sighed.
"Looks like it's over, the Earth-splitting Violent Tiger was swallowed by the poison in an instant. This Colorful Toad is at least of the fifth rank."
Everyone's expressions changed, and they were all hesitating whether or not they should try to snatch the fruit.
The Tempest Greedy Wolf didn't dare to advance, and it just stood there, baring its fangs at the Colorful Toad.
The Golden Feathered Eagle let out a series of screeches, and circled in the air, as if it was unwilling to give up.
"Everyone, let's attack together and kill the Colorful Toad first." At this time, the star-robed middle-aged man suggested again.
As soon as he finished speaking, the bronze mirror in his hand flashed, and several rays of light shot towards the Colorful Toad.
The others didn't hesitate, and they all used their most powerful mystical skills to attack the toad.
The Tempest Greedy Wolf and the Golden Feathered Eagle also joined the fray, and they also released elemental attacks towards the Colorful Toad.
Whoosh!
The Colorful Toad didn't want to sit still, and it opened its huge mouth, took a deep breath, and actually sucked in all the energy that was blasted towards it into its stomach.
In an instant, its body that was originally four meters tall grew to six or seven meters tall, and it looked very spectacular.
Whoosh!
As it cried out, the energy that it had sucked into its stomach was actually spat out, and it blasted towards the King Stage martial artists in the sky.
"Oh no!" The star-robed elder cried out in alarm, and was the first to run away.
The second person to react was the brawny man, and the others were half a beat slower.
Three low-level King Stage martial artists were the slowest to react, and they were directly blasted into smithereens by the energy ball!
The few who managed to escape wiped off their cold sweat.
At this time, a few beads of cold sweat dripped down Lie Mingqiang's face, and he hesitated for a moment, then turned around and disappeared into the sky.
He knew that with his current strength, it was impossible for him to fight for the Five-Colored Gourd Holy Fruit, and it was better for him to retreat as soon as possible, lest he died like the other three.
