Chapter 340: Kill
As Ye Xiao was running, he saw a huge tree in front of him. He speed-up and ran towards it. Arriving at the base of the huge tree, he leaped high into the air, reaching a height of several hundred meters before disappearing into the dense foliage.
"This idiot, he actually wants to play hide and seek with me. Does he think we are blind and could not see him?" One of them could not help but sneer, thinking that Ye Xiao"s method was really very low level.
"There is only one big tree here. He is like a turtle in a jar now."
Just as the leader was about to climb up the tree, the ground suddenly trembled. He could not help but feel suspicious and looked forward.
This glance was not important but he was immediately scared witless. Dozens of Immortal Lord Realm Immortal Beasts were rushing towards them like a torrent.
"Run!"
Seeing so many Immortal Beasts, everyone was scared silly. They did not even have time to care about Ye Xiao as they ran for their lives.
"Ah!"
Some of the experts who were not good at speed were caught up to by the Immortal Beasts in a moment and died under their attacks.
Seeing so many people, those Immortal Beasts all forgot about Ye Xiao and chased after them.
Ye Xiao lied on top of the big tree and looked outside through the dense foliage. Seeing their miserable state, the corner of his mouth could not help but curl into a cold smile.
Ye Xiao continued to climb toward the treetop. The had covered a radius of several hundred meters and its height was also at least several hundred meters. When Ye Xiao reached the top of the tree, his expression suddenly changed.
This was because he discovered that the Immortal Beasts that had killed those people had begun to return and they were heading in the direction of the tree he was on.
Seeing that the one in front was an Immortal Beast that looked very similar to a hyena, Ye Xiao immediately understood that it had followed the smell and came here. It was really like a ghost that never left.
It was unknown if they had killed all of the group of people but Ye Xiao could not help but curse in his heart. This group of people was so aggressive when they saw him yet they were actually so useless in front of these beasts. They had only delayed the Immortal Beasts for such a short amount of time.
However, there was nothing he could do at the moment. Looking around, there was a tree branch that was very thick, spreading its branches outwards. Ye Xiao"s heart was moved as he thought of an idea.
He took out the Sea Dragon Spear and pried open the old skin on the tree trunk with the sharp tip of the spear. Then, he removed the thin and tough fibers and twisted them into a finger-thick rope hundreds of feet long.
He tied the rope tightly to the branch and used all of his strength to pull in the direction of the trunk. Following Ye Xiao"s increase in strength, the branch creaked and creaked as it moved towards the trunk.
When Ye Xiao realized that no matter how much more strength he used, he could not get even a hair"s breadth closer, he tied the rope tightly to the trunk.
The thin branches on the thick branch had all been shaved off, leaving only the bare branches. Ye Xiao sat steadily on the branch and tested the angle.
"Bang!"
Just as Ye Xiao was busy, the Immortal Beasts had already reached the bottom of the big tree. A wild boar-like Immortal Beast used its strong claws to push the big tree ferociously. It actually wanted to push the big tree down.
Ye Xiao smiled and cut the rope, causing Ye Xiao to fly out in the air like an arrow shot out from the bow.
"Bang!"
Ye Xiao also didn"t know how far he had flown. When he landed, he directly b.u.mped into a large tree and the large tree that was several tens of meters thick was shockingly broken apart by Ye Xiao.
The big tree was broken and Ye Xiao was also knocked into a mess. He felt as if stars were revolving above his head and failed to distinguish which direction was which direction as he felt as if the world was circling.
It was fortunate that his body was very strong otherwise if it was another Immortal Foundation Realm martial artist, he would have died from the impact.
After a while, when Ye Xiao"s dizziness subsided, he identified the direction and headed towards the mountain peak. Along the way, he did not meet any Immortal Beast.
However, the further he went up the mountain, the richer the Spirit energy became. Ye Xiao could not help but exclaim in his heart. No wonder so many people risked their lives to come here.
Since this place was already at such a level, the sect at the peak of the mountain would definitely be even more extraordinary.
After climbing for an entire day and night, although he had met a few groups of Immortal Beasts, Ye Xiao saw them from afar and avoided them one by one. Yes, whenever he encountered a lone beast, he just destroyed their soul and stored their corpses inside his spatial ring.
He had yet to reform his Small World and could not use the spirit energy. It was extremely dangerous for him to encounter a group of Immortal Beasts. He had plenty of time to kill them in the future after reforming the Small World.
After circling around those Immortal Beasts, Ye Xiao finally arrived at the top of the mountain on the sixth day. But what surprised Ye Xiao was that the top of the mountain was completely barren and there was only one Transportation Array.
Out of the original two hundred people, only less than half remained. Regardless of whether or not their eyes were filled with excitement, most of them were wounded.
"Ye Xiao, you are finally here!"
Ye Xiao raised his head and saw that it was actually the Eldest Miss"s other three comrades who were at the Immortal Foundation Realm.
Ye Xiao could not help but be surprised. From the looks of it, the luck of these three people was extremely good. They actually successfully climbed up the mountain top all at once.
Aside from one of them whose name was Feng Lun, who was at the Late Stage of the Immortal Foundation realm, the other two were all at the Middle Stage of the Immortal Foundation realm. Their battle prowess was extremely low but for the three of them to be able to make it here alive, they could only be considered lucky.
"Ye Xiao, you actually did not die!"
Suddenly, a voice filled with killing intent came out of gritted teeth of someone. Ye Xiao turned to look at the source of this voice and saw that there were six men looking at him with a face full of killing intent.
Ye Xiao immediately recognized those people. They were the ones who had surrounded him midway and wanted to cut off one of his arms.
However, out of the original group of dozens of people, only six remained. It seemed that those Immortal Beasts had gone all out ma.s.sacring this group of people.
"Oh, we meet again. We are safe and sound. It is truly a cause of celebration!" Ye Xiao said with a smiled as if he was greeting a friend.
At this moment, Ye Xiao"s appearance attracted everyone"s attention. They all looked over curiously at the young man who was smiling and a group of people who were grinding their teeth.
The leader of these people said with a savage expression, "Kid, because of you, we lost so many people. If we don"t cut you into ten thousand pieces, it will be hard to quell the hatred in our hearts!"
Ye Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Don"t say that, it would hurt my feelings. It was your head that got kicked by a donkey. Fighting against dozens of Immortal Beasts has nothing to do with me."
"b.a.s.t.a.r.d, those Immortal Beasts were clearly attracted to you. You have long had ill intentions. Zhao Qian, go chop off one of his arms!" The leader"s face sank as he shouted coldly.
"Alright!"
A tall and st.u.r.dy man with a cultivation at the Late Stage of the Immortal Foundation Realm immediately slashed at Ye Xiao"s arm.
The expressions of the three other companions of the Eldest Miss beside Ye Xiao changed. They all took out their weapons, ready to support Ye Xiao.
"Don"t move!"
Ye Xiao instructed them by raising his hand and shaking his head.
"Soul Destruction!"
Ye Xiao muttered these two words in his heart and the opponent fell down on the ground lifelessly.
