Chapter Thirty: The Treasure Snatcher

  Standing behind a giant rock about thirty meters away from the cave, Xie Ao Yu looked at the people patrolling back and forth in front of the cave entrance, his eyebrows furrowed.

  He didn't take their abilities seriously.

  However, the bald man's strength in the cave was at the lower boundary of the Ling level, two levels higher than him. If it were a one-on-one fight, even with the Bao Long Fist and Chi Dian Lei explosion slash as well as the Lei Ling Sheng Dao, Xie Ao Yu might not be able to kill him across levels, let alone there being other high-level upper-grade experts like Kaya Luo.

  If it's murder, alarming them would be disadvantageous to him.

  What's wrong?

  Xie Ao Yu narrowed his eyes as he stared at the cave, thinking about how to make a move that would ensure safety while also seizing the top-level Dou Qi inside.

  He was deep in thought when he heard a loud roar.

  "Roar!"

  The little mountain is shaking.

  Xie Ao Yu's eyes lit up, and inside the mountain cave was actually a demon beast.

  Then angry shouts were heard, a fierce battle broke out inside, and the people outside who were responsible for patrolling also drew their weapons, hesitating whether to rush in.

  Just then, someone in the cave shouted, "Poison!"

  The sound disappeared immediately.

  A gray gas emerged from inside, emitting a nauseating stench, and the people responsible for patrolling outside also retreated while covering their noses and mouths.

  "Bang bang bang......"

  A violent shock came from inside.

  A figure let out a mournful cry and flew out of the cave, falling heavily to the ground. There was a deep wound on his chest that exposed his bones, but what was fatal was that his face had turned a greyish-green color, with blood flowing from all seven orifices as he died.

  Poisoned to death.

  "Retreat quickly!" Tra's roar echoed, he darted out of the cave, his long knife held high, and as a lower-ranking spiritual realm cultivator, his combat power far exceeded that of others. The surging fighting energy infused into the long knife, causing it to emit a cold gleam.

  Others like Kayaro also withdrew one after another.

  Splash!

  Wait until everyone leaves, then swing your sword and cut down.

  With one slash, a flash of light broke through the air, and a massive demon beast over two meters tall charged out from within, lowering its head to defend itself with the twisted horns on its forehead.

  "Right!"

  The blade struck right between the horns.

  The monster let out a pained screech, stumbling backward, which only enraged it further. It began to roar madly, its jaws open wide as it spewed forth a gray-green mist.

  Seeing this, he hastily retreated.

  The monster also took advantage of the situation and rushed out, fiercely pouncing on Trala, with poisonous fog rolling in its mouth, while using its sharp horns to violently butt.

  This demon beast is two meters high and three meters long, with a cow's body and a snake's tail. Its entire body is covered in gray-green fur that seems to carry potent venom. When it runs, the ground shakes violently.

  The monster's fighting strength was obviously not weak, and it also had poisonous fog, which forced people like Tral to retreat constantly. Especially that poisonous fog, had already poisoned three people to death.

  "Kayaro, you take them into the cave, I'll lead him away." Tra shouted.

  Kaya responded with a single word and led the two of them rushing towards the cave.

  The monster saw this and roared as it went to block their way.

  "Full force, intercept!"

  More than a dozen people took action, blocking the monster's counterattack. For a time, they killed each other, making it difficult to distinguish between them. Seeing this situation, Xie Ao Yu would not let go of such an opportunity.

  He lowered his body and accelerated to the limit.

  At the moment when Nakaya led two people rushing into the cave, he suddenly rushed out.

  Because Tie and others were all busy dealing with the magic beast, after all, this was a magic beast that could spit out poisonous fog, not other magic beasts. The poisonous fog made them dare not to be careless at all, so no one noticed Xie Ao Yu's existence.

  As soon as he entered the cave, Xie Ao Yu furrowed his brow.

  It smells too bad!

  "This stench is probably the guardian of the cave's attack." Xie Ao Yu muttered, because it was too smelly, and he estimated that ordinary people would retreat in defeat if they rushed in.

  The stench returns to the stench, and on that mountain wall and ground, there are still some gray-green ones, which are obviously highly toxic. If you're not careful, there's a possibility of poisoning.

  Xie Ao Yu proceeded cautiously forward.

  The cave wasn't very deep, about twenty meters or so. There was a bend in the middle, and Xie Ao Yu was right at that bend, looking inward. He only saw that the three of Kayaro had already reached the end.

  These three people are a threat to Xie Ao Yu, namely Kayaro.

  Kayaro is a higher-level upper boundary, one level higher than Xie Ao Yu, but Xie Ao Yu is confident that with his high-level fighting skills and the sacred artifact Lei Ling Sacred Sword, he can still defeat him. The key issue is how to prevent him from alerting the outside Tra, which is the biggest problem.

  Xie Ao Yu also saw that at the end of the path, there was a patch of weeds used for resting, and under it was a wooden box, which was used as a cushion for waste wood. It was partially buried underground, and if one didn't look carefully, they wouldn't be able to see it. The eyes of all three people from Kayaro were fixed on the wooden box.

  The wooden box didn't have anything special about it, but on top of it there were some grayish-green **.

  It's obviously the poisonous residue left behind by that demon beast.

  Under Kairo's command, one of them on the left took off his outer garment and used it to wrap up the wooden box, trying to isolate the highly toxic substance.

  Tied up the wooden box, pulled hard.

  The wooden box was pressed down by some weeds and branches, which flew up when it was pulled, with several of them hitting the person's face.

  "Ah!"

  The man immediately covered his face with both hands and fell to the ground in agony.

  While Kayaro and his companion quickly retreated to avoid the weeds and branches, which were all stained with some gray-green **, all of which were poisonous.

  It was at this moment that Xie Ao Yu suddenly rushed out.

  The holy sword of thunder, unmatched in its wild slash.

  Crimson Lightning Blast Slash!

  A burst of crimson lightning exploded from Xie Ao Yu's body, converging onto the Lei Ling Sacred Knife, transforming it into a crimson color.

  A gleam of light flashed through the air, targeting Cayro.

  Kayaro, who was supposed to dodge the poisonous weeds, didn't expect someone to sneak up behind him. When he felt it, the attack had already arrived, and he desperately dodged to the side.

  "Pffft!"

  That knife light still heavily struck Kayaro's back.

  Shattering his Qi defense, almost tearing his body apart, shocking him into spewing out fresh blood, he lunged forward. Xie Ao Yu was merciless, taking a step forward and slashing down with his knife once again.

  Heavily injured, Kayaro hastily swung his sword in defense.

  "Crack!"

  His sword was useless in front of Lei Ling's sacred knife and was cut off by a single slash, taking his head with it as Xie Ao Yu beheaded him with one stroke.

  Alas, Kayaro was stronger than Xie Ao Yu, yet he didn't even have the chance to resist before being beheaded and dying unjustly. After killing Kayaro, Xie Ao Yu pointed with his left hand's little finger.

  One finger pointed at the wooden box, and the severe poison immediately retreated.

  He took advantage of the situation to pick up the wooden box, saw that the person who followed Kayaro was about to run around the corner, and raised his hand to punch him from a distance.

  Dragon Fist!

  One punch hit him and he exploded on the spot.

  Xie Ao Yu knew this would stir up the people outside, he put the wooden box into his spatial ring and unfolded his speed, rushing out at the fastest speed of his life.

  Just as he rushed out, he saw Tra charge with all his might and force the demon beast back, just about to head towards the mountain cave.

  Two people stared at each other.

  "A gift for you." Xie Ao Yu raised his hand and unleashed a Thunderbolt Slash.

  He was very clear that he was two levels higher than Teira, and even with the Reling Sacred Sword and top-notch fighting skills, it would be difficult to defeat him, so he went all out from the start.

  Innumerable scarlet electric lights converged into a flash of knife light, whizzing out.

  "Damn it!"

  The bald man was furious and swung his sword to behead.

  One sword broke through the attack, and he was also shocked to retreat three or four steps. His arms were a bit numb, but he was not injured. He roared in anger and was about to rush up to kill him. As a result, the distance he retreated fell within the range of the demon beast's attack, and as soon as it opened its mouth, a poisonous fog spewed out.

  Telaqi's violent slash was like thunder, but it could only swing its sword to form a strong gust of wind, dispersing the poisonous fog. When he turned around again, Xie Ao Yu had already escaped more than 50 or 60 meters away.

  "Stop him!" Te La shouted at his subordinates as he raised his knife and went after Xie Ao Yu.

  Xie Ao Yu burst out laughing and accelerated to his fastest speed, dashing off like a flash of lightning. Meanwhile, Tela had only taken two steps before she heard a miserable cry coming from behind her.

  His subordinate was poisoned by the monster.

  He wanted to chase and kill, but his subordinates were in danger. These were all the elite under his command. Just as he hesitated, Xie Ao Yu had already run away without a trace.

  Tyrande's anger could only be vented on the demons.

  Xie Ao Yu, who had escaped, found a direction and rushed out for over two to three thousand meters before stopping in a small valley. He looked around, making sure no one was there, before taking out the wooden box.
