Within the stone forest, the prodigies from the hostile races ended up dumbfounded when they witnessed how the Earth Shield repelled all the powerful attacks easily.
In a brief instant, Hans’ face flashed with terror. He quickly roared, “Retreat!”
They attacked with full power in order to ensure all the humans would die. However, the Earth Shield alone could block all of their offensive means. Definitely, this wasn’t an enemy they could handle!
Hearing his words, everyone attempted to flee.
A prodigy from the Purple Scale Race screamed in terror, “Damn it! Since when did the Human Race have a prodigy like him?”
During this time, green vines suddenly appeared in the air, completely restricting their surroundings.
The level-2 planetary state Kaka prodigy didn’t slow down at all when he saw the vines. He planned to run through it.
When he went near one of the vines, the vine suddenly whipped him.
Rumble!
The prodigy from the Kaka Race was cut into half with that single move. Rocks and lava were flung in the air.
Witnessing this gruesome scene, the other prodigies quickly halted their movements.
The Kaka Race had stronger defenses than the other races. Thus, they would suffer the same fate, if not worse, by trying to run away. Hans yelled, “Move aside! I’ll open a path!”
His body flashed, and he planned to attack.
At this moment, a golden fist force struck over from afar.
Hans quickly turned around and swung his fist to meet the golden fist force.
Rumble!
A black and golden beam clashed, creating a huge explosion.
In a brief instant, the black fist force was broken while the remaining one kept attacking Hans.
Hans’ expression changed. He crossed his arms and blocked in front of him. In a rushed manner, a black shield materialized.
The golden fist force clashed with the shield, creating another rumbling sound.
A shockwave spread across all directions and the prodigies near Hans were sent flying back.
The level-3 planetary state prodigies felt pressure on their chests while the level-2 ones suffered injuries. As for the level-1 planetary state prodigies, they simply died on the spot…
When it came to the rest, all of them were heavily injured.
Hans fell back too. His barrier was shattered, and his body was covered in cracks.
Nangong Jing withdrew her fist and mumbled, “He didn’t die. I should’ve used more force.”
She was a level-4 planetary state now and had a perfect mastery of Golden Fist Art. At full power, her combat power could approach level-9 planetary state. She thought using 80% force would kill this guy.
Hans spat some hot lava, and a black rock appeared on his hand. Just when he planned to insert spirit force into it, he suddenly stopped.
Another level-3 planetary state from the Kaka Race said desperately, “What’s wrong, brother Hans? Use the black shield quickly!”
Unexpectedly, Hans turned around and punched that particular Kaka heavily.
Rumble!
The prodigy wasn’t on alert at all. His eyes were full of disbelief. When he tried to speak, his body was already shattered.
Seeing this, everyone was stunned.
‘Why would he kill someone from his own race?’
They didn’t have time to think about it. They were going to take out their trump cards right now so as to defend themselves for a brief moment and then use the space rock to leave.
During this time, everyone suddenly stopped moving
Qiuyue Hesha glanced at Nangong Jing with a triumphant grin. “They almost got away.” On the side, Nangong Jing almost punched the fox demon. “I just made a mistake. Even if they run, they won’t get away!” Qiuyue Hesha grin widened. “Yes, they can’t. We have little brother Lu Ze after all. But… that doesn’t change the fact that you almost let them get away.” “Fox demon, do you want to fight?!” Nangong Jing was furious by her taunts.
Lu Ze and the group got a headache from watching the two quarrel. Luo Bingqing and the rest could only watch expressionlessly. They didn’t dare to say anything nor ask.
Lu Ze attempted to placate them with his smile. “Teacher Qiuyue, let’s deal with them first. They’re waiting for people here, so this means we’re near the ruins.”
Qiuyue Hesha showed a victorious smile and nodded. She commanded, “Place all your treasures on the ground and end yourselves.”
Accordingly, Hans and his cohorts placed all their storage devices on the ground and wiped out their own life force.
With a wave of Lu Ze’s hands, all the equipment flew into his hands.
Lu Ze sported a beaming smile on his face. “Time to split the profits, everyone has a share!”
He gave Luo Bingqing and his group tw storage rings each. They looked inside and took out the tasty ingredients, giving them to Lu Ze.
This transfer was done very smoothly. Clearly, this wasn’t the first time.
Thereafter, the group set off again. Along the way, they didn’t encounter other hostile prodigies anymore.
Ten hours later, the outset of a city appeared in the distance.
Lu Ze’s eyes lit up. “That seems to be it.”
Nangong Jing agreed with a nod. “Let’s speed up.”
Outside the city, there were two groups standing off against each other. Both sides had more than a hundred people. They were just staring at each other.
One of the factions had the Barbarian Race, Winged Race, and Round Race. Man Kun, Man Xiu, Eddie, Brenda, Qiu Lin, and Qiu An were all here.
There were much fewer beings here than the original number who came in.
This was the same case for the other faction…
Qiu Lun looked at the leading prodigy from the Purple Scale Race. “Yu Changsheng, the ruin is here. Aren’t you guys going to enter?”
Yu Changsheng sneered, “I’ll let you guys in first. How about it?”
‘Who dares to go in with such a terrifying monster there?’ Yu Changsheng sneered on the inside. ‘When brother Yushang arrives, you would all die!’
He wondered where Yushang went when he came in. It had been so long since he last saw him.
Qiu Lin asked Man Kun and Eddie, “Why hasn’t a single human arrived? Is that Lu Ze really strong?”
He was immersed in solitary cultivation during the social gathering. But almost everyone said Lu Ze was “extremely” strong, including Man Kun and Eddie. This made him very curious.
Man Kun replied telepathically, “Won’t be long now. Most likely, the humans got teleported farther away.”
Through a voice transmission, Eddie added, “Even if Lu Ze comes, there’s nothing we can do about the guardian beast, but with him around, here we can kill more of those bastards.” Qiu Lin exclaimed, “That would be enough! They probably collected quite a lot of things inside.”
During this time, the prodigies on both sides rejoiced.
Maintaining the mental communication, Man Kun and Eddie remarked, “It’s Lu Ze’s chi and the other humans. They’re here!”
Qiu Lin sneered, “Get ready to attack. That monster won’t come out if we don’t go inside the ruins!”
Yu Changsheng also communicated with a level-4 planetary state prodigy from the White Ghost Race. “Benny, brother Yushang is here! Prepare to attack! By the way, where are Hans and Xue Wuqing?”
Benny shook his head. “Don’t know, maybe they ended up in a far place during teleportation.”
Yu Changsheng said, “Then, we won’t give them a share of the loot.”
Benny grinned. “Of course, they’re at fault for being late.” At this moment, both sides had lights flying. The left side only had one but the right side had more than ten.
Despite that, the left one was faster.
Lu Ze raised a brow. “The one who just arrived is probably the prodigy who entered the prodigy ranking. It should be the one that they were talking about. His chi is pretty strong.”
