"What a shame, I don't think you're going anywhere for a while? hiss.." said the old man as he stuck out his tongue at the end of each sentence.

"Heh, it depends on your ability as the leader of the worms." Huo Bing grinned widely while brandishing his middle finger. He acted very relaxed as if he was not a cornered self but snakes.

The old man only smiled in response, but the few snakes behind him again spat out a corrosive attack. Huo Bing stood up straight then spat fearlessly and pitted his saliva against the snake's attack.

Heiliao looked at the fellow with a resigned look. He could not understand how the half-baked birds could be relaxed when their lives might not be in their bodies soon. Even today the bird can still perform useless actions such as pitting their spit.

For a moment nothing moved at all either the snakes, the ten figures of their pursuers, or Xika the three. The snake leader's old man stared intently at the ten figures standing opposite to him, who were met with an equally sharp gaze.

The ten figures, which consisted of four Immortal Pearl Pavilions cultivators, three Burning Abyss Clan cultivators, and three Northern Light Palace cultivators, were among the cultivators, trying to guess the steps the snakes will take.

On the one hand, they were grateful that the snakes did not seem to be Xika's friends, but she did not know whether the snakes were indeed purely hostile to Xika or had the same purpose as them. Then one of the Immortal Pavilion Pearl, Jin Fu by his name, stepped forward and volunteered as the leader of their group who was approved without a sound by the other two big sects.

"Greetings," said Jin Fu cupping his hands at the yellow-robed man, "may I know what business you have with the three of them?"

The old man ignored Jin Fu's greeting, which made some people on Jin Fu's side dislike but was ignored by Jin Fu, "We have no business whatsoever with the possessions they have. All we want is his third life."

Jin Fu was silent for a moment. Actually he wanted to propose an agreement for them to obtain the entire spatial ring of Xika's group, while the snakes obtained the lives of all three. But he doubted the fruit was in a spatial ring given Xian Cheng's story that it was inserted into a strange black hole. And it seems he needs them alive to get the fruit back.

"For now we need them alive. We'll leave as soon as our business is done." Seeing that the old man did not return his greetings, then Jin Fu decided that there was no point in maintaining good manners anymore. The world does not view seniority by age, but by strength.

"It seems that I can't let you do that" said the old man calmly, unperturbed by Jin Fu's attitude that no longer attached great importance to modesty.

"Then......."

Jin Fu stared at the old man for a bit, then glanced quickly at the other nine, and a fight between the three parties ensued. But before that, let's back off for a while, when Jin Fu and the old man started talking.

Xika and his two colleagues did not just sit idly by waiting for how their fate was decided. They tried to find a way out by discussing it in their minds.

"Huo Bing, you're saving the fruits of life just now aren't you? Give it to me," Xika said starting the discussion.

"For what?" huo Bing asked while taking out a single piece of life.

"less. Earlier I ate two pieces of life and managed to ascend to the Qi Forming 9. I think if I eat some I can get on Low-Jack. At that time the fight should not be too one-sided." Xika started to eat the fruit that Huo Bing had given her without realizing the expression of the bird nor did Heiliao hear her speak.

"Stupid! You wanna die? Or defective? You can break through easily as long as it's still in the same realm, but when you want to jump into the next realm, you can't rush. After all you just climbed to the Qi 8 Forming in the competition right? Then in the basement you recklessly ate the two fruits of life that made you ascend to the Qi 9 Forming.

You need to stabilize your cultivation first. No matter how many fruits of life you eat, you will not ascend to the Royal Realm. There's even you exploding." Heiliao immediately refuted Xika before Huo Bing gave another fruit of life.

"What?" Xika could only be speechless staring at the new fruit of life half she ate.

"Eat only that one to restore your hands and strength. It's already gone." said Huo Bing trying to hold back the laughter of seeing Xika's confused silly face.

"Oh, and bring this too."

The bird threw the fruit of life one for Xika and one for Heiliao.

"Well, it's not called the fruit of life for no reason, is it? Bring it in just in case we can't seem to avoid this one fight."

After Huo Bing spoke, the three of them immediately jumped in different directions dodging the lashing that had occurred due to the meeting of the old man's attack with the fireballs of cultivators from the Burning Abyss Clan.

At that moment, Huo Bing and Heiliao jumped to the left and right sides so they had to fight with the snakes as well as the group of pursuers from the capital. While Xika was either lucky or did not jump towards the snakes so he was forced to face hundreds of snakes at the Black stage which was equivalent to Middle-Jack if likened to a human cultivator.

Shortly before the snakes bit her body, Xika coated herself with Nexus, a card box that serves as a protective suit, so that the fangs of the snakes did not penetrate her body. Then Xika burned all over her body and made the snakes that had been on her body away.

Not wasting a chance, Xika immediately aimed at some of her cards and slashed at the nearby snakes. He did not manage to slash them in two of course, after all they were on par with Low-Jack, but at least he managed to deliver severe injuries that would be a fatal weakness in a one-on-one fight.

A SHOCK!

Just raising her head, Xika a slash of tail came back after her which she could only endure this time. He crossed his arms in front of his chest just before the blue tail hit him and threw him into a large tree not far from where he had been.

He could feel his chest throbbing in pain where the tail scratches hit him. Although Nexus prevented him from getting a bloody wound, it did not prevent him from getting bruised and bruised and making his whole body in pain.

Even now, the three snakes that wrapped around his legs wrapped themselves tighter and tighter, causing him pain. Turning the Space Shifter into a stick and coating it with four elements, Xika pierces all three with the Space Shifter and successfully makes a giant snake satay.

The three snakes escaped from the Space Shifter after he flicked it several times, but more snakes came to the new tree that Xika was occupying.

At this moment Xika got a bit of an image of her strength and the strength of the snakes. Now, when he is in the Qi 9 Formation, he can face the snakes at the Low-Jack level with his bare hands. He could give them fatal injuries, but if he wanted to kill them instantly, he would still have to rely on a combination of the four elements.

If only he could ascend to Low-Jack, then he should be able to help in the fight of Heiliao and Huo Bing. He glanced at them and found the two were facing an extraordinary chaotic fight. Unlike Xika who only fought with the snakes, Huo Bing and Heiliao had to fight with the snakes as well as the group of pursuers that involved them in a three-party fight.

On the left, Heiliao's condition was arguably the best of the three parties. After returning to be able to use his space element, Heiliao proved his ability as a Space Ruler. Out of nowhere, Heiliao became increasingly adept at using his space abilities.

The wolf coated his entire body with the space element. When the cultivator from the Northern Light Palace thrust his sword into Heiliao's stomach, it, a hole appeared and devoured the sword then took it out next to one of the Autumn Black stage snakes that was equivalent to a Middle-Jack level cultivator and successfully pierced through his stomach.

"Hisss!"

The cultivator from the Northern Light Palace was as shocked as the snake he stabbed. He drew back his sword and found blood still dripping proof that he had actually pierced the snake five meters away from his position.

THE SPLAT!

A concentrated attack of high qi darted towards Heiliao's back. A black hole re-emerged and absorbed the attack and then spewed it back into the group of snakes that had surrounded Xika to make them scattered.

Then the wolf darted forward and raised its feet about to kick the cultivator from the Burning Abyss Sect who immediately stepped back. Unfortunately, only half-Heiliao swung his legs did a black hole appear and moved his legs behind that Burning Abyss Sect cultivator to make him push forward towards Heiliao.

When he saw Heiliao lift his leg he thought Heiliao would do another trick attack so he did not hold on, unfortunately for this time Heiliao actually gave him a normal kick without any space element landing right on his cheek and making him fall from the top of the tree.

On the right, Huo Bing's condition was arguably as bad as his opponent's condition. The bird does not have the practical element of space to attack and defend like Heiliao, but it has the element of wind that facilitates its movement plus the element of fire and ice that can make the enemy cold hot.

Huo Bing fought empty-handed at the beginning of the fight without any elements so both his clothes and expression seemed to be in such a mess. But in the middle of the fight, when a snake was about to attack Huo Bing who was off guard, an ice flower suddenly emerged from his body and managed to freeze him for good.

A SHOCK!

PRANGS!

Huo Bing's kick successfully crushed the snake that had just frozen and sent its shale on both sides which he immediately detonated and made each of his enemies flung away in different directions.

He decided to finish off the cultivators from the Capital first.

WHUSHES!

In a single blink, Huo Bing was already in front of the Immortal Pearl Pavillion cultivator and had already floated his feet about to kick the man, yet something wrapped around his feet. Huo Bing was about to turn his head but the cultivator from the Pavilion had punched him first and made him lose his balance, then before he could stabilize his body, his legs had been pulled and thrown dozens of meters back and hit the tree trunk, then fell onto the branches below him to reach the ground.

From below, Huo Bing saw the snakes and other cultivators were fighting on top of a fairly wide tree branch. He grinned widely, then set fire to the tree where the two were fighting so as to force them to jump onto another branch.

Just as the two had landed, the branch where the two were on foot exploded and made them fall down accompanying Huo Bing below.

Huo Bing smiled smugly successfully managed to force the two down.

"Hehehe........"
