Chapter 491: Chapter 491: No Need to Compete, We Withdraw

”How is this possible?”

The black-clothed elder stared at the severed stump of his wrist, his eyeballs nearly bulging out. He was shocked beyond words.

His Vajra-like body, in front of the enemy, was as weak as a thin piece of paper, unable to even withstand a single sword strike.

He couldn’t imagine what kind of divine weapon in the world could so easily break through his Vajra body.

”What kind of sword is that?”

The black-clothed elder’s eyes narrowed, his sharp gaze shooting out and landing on the sword in the hands of the man in the middle.

This sword was merely an Emperor Level Lower Grade treasured sword.

Although such a blade was sharp, it definitely couldn’t easily sever his wrist.

Unless it was an Emperor Artifact, perhaps only then could it break through his physical defense.

”My heavens, am I hallucinating? How did one sword strike cut off the Vajra Zombie’s hand?”

The middle-aged man was shocked. Looking at the sword in his hand, he was also momentarily disoriented.

He knew his own strength very well.

Facing a Half-Step Life-Death Realm Vajra Zombie, he definitely couldn’t break through the opponent’s defense so easily.

He had originally prepared for a protracted battle, but he never dreamed that with just one sword strike, as if cutting tofu, he would sever the black-clothed elder’s hand.

It was truly unbelievable.

Below, the girl in colorful clothes shouted excitedly, her beautiful little face flushed with excitement. Even the arm hugging the little blue cat had unknowingly tightened its grip.

Fortunately, this little blue cat was no ordinary creature. Otherwise, it would have cried out long ago.

”Haha... The Senior has made his move! What damned Vajra Zombie? In the eyes of a Divine Monarch Realm Senior, it’s truly nothing!” the Big Black Cat waved its fist, laughing inwardly.

Luo Li smiled without speaking.

She, her senior sister, and her junior brother exchanged a knowing look.

Such a miracle could only be the work of the adorable little blue cat.

The Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon, a Divine Monarch Realm expert, was far too powerful. Dealing with a mere Half-Step Life-Death Realm Vajra Zombie was no different from crushing an ant.

Ye Yun also opened his eyes. Seeing that the Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon had chosen this indirect method of action, a hint of admiration appeared in his gaze.

This little dragon was perfectly executing the task he had assigned, not blatantly displaying its power despite its Divine Monarch Realm cultivation base.

It seemed that after the mission was completed, he would have to reward this little dragon.

Perhaps he should teach it a Divine Skill? Ye Yun mused.

At this moment, the black-clothed elder hovered in mid-air, his expression uncertain, his thoughts clearly in turmoil.

After pondering for a few breaths, he finally made a decision.

”Let’s go!”

The black-clothed elder ordered, then transformed into a black light and entered the coffin behind the man. The coffin lid flew back on, sealing it.

The man from the Yin Corpse Sect, at the Tenth Level of the Heavenly Mandate Realm, his face ashen, led all the disciples of his Sect to retreat dejectedly into the mist, disappearing from sight.

Seeing the members of the Yin Corpse Sect disappear, everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief.

The Yin Corpse Sect was, after all, one of the Supreme Major Sects of the Nether Immortal Dynasty, incredibly powerful. Within the Nether Immortal Ancient Land alone, they had at least ten expeditionary teams.

Such a formidable power was best not provoked lightly, unless one hailed from another Supreme Major Sect.

The middle-aged man stared incredulously in the direction where the Yin Corpse Sect disciples had vanished. After a few seconds of stunned silence, he brought the sword before his eyes, gently caressing the blade. He didn’t feel anything unusual about it.

”This is strange. What exactly happened? Was it because... that Vajra Zombie was too weak?” the middle-aged man muttered to himself as he slowly descended from mid-air.

The girl in colorful clothes looked at Luo Li and the others, saying softly, ”This Divine Element Longevity Fruit is urgently needed by our family’s ancestor. If you wish to contend for it, then we shall compete according to the established customs.”

”There’s no need to compete. We withdraw,” Luo Li replied, shaking her head gently, choosing to concede directly.

In terms of strength, they were outnumbered and outmatched, certainly no match for the team from the Jiangchuan Dynasty’s Su family.

Furthermore, Luo Li was aware that her Old Ancestor seemed to hold the girl in colorful clothes from the Jiangchuan Dynasty’s Su family in high regard, with seemingly profound intentions.

Throughout their journey, with Suibai’s help, their small team had obtained many Divine Element Longevity Fruits, almost as if by cheating.

They weren’t lacking these two.

The other five from the Dragon God Sect naturally understood Luo Li’s words. No one had any objections.

The girl in colorful clothes was slightly stunned. She looked at Luo Li, her smile blooming like a spring flower. ”Thank you so much, Miss!”

”You’re welcome!” Luo Li smiled, then turned and led the other five away from the area.

”Sect Master, take care!” the little blue cat in the arms of the girl in colorful clothes didn’t forget to send a telepathic message to bid Luo Li farewell.

Luo Li couldn’t help but smile. Forcing herself not to look back, she quickly disappeared into the black mist.

Although they had relinquished that Divine Longevity Tree, for the Su family to obtain the Divine Element Longevity Fruits on it, they would still need to kill the numerous strange creatures guarding the tree. This would also take some time. These matters were no longer Luo Li’s concern.

The small team of six, now without Suibai’s guidance, began to explore the black mist. Along the way, they encountered several small waves of attacking strange creatures, all different from those they had met before. According to Mu Qing, these strange creatures were called Nether Immortal Ghost Wolves. Typically, such creatures began to appear after passing the fortieth Heavenly Mechanism Tower. While exploring the mist, the group absorbed Spirit Stones, using the divine nature within them to resist the toxins in the poisonous mist, and did not stop to rest.

「Several hours passed.」

They were like headless flies, making no discoveries.

BOOM!

A black light suddenly plummeted from the mist, smashing a large crater into the ground.

All six of them jumped in fright.

When they clearly saw the figure in the crater, they were greatly astonished.

The arrival was none other than old Suibai.

He was covered in blood, his body swaying unsteadily as he staggered towards them.

Evidently, from his recent great battle with the Red-haired Bone Dragon, Suibai had suffered extremely severe injuries.

Luo Li and the others quickly rushed down into the crater, reaching Suibai’s side.

”Suibai, are your injuries severe?” Luo Li asked with concern.

Suibai nodded silently.

After nodding, he began to cough violently, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood—a shocking sight.

The six of them felt their hearts grow heavy. Seeing Suibai in this state, they too felt deeply distressed.

”Suibai, I have some Medicinal Pills here,” Luo Li said, taking out a small bottle. ”Take them and see if they can help your injuries.” Inside the bottle were over a dozen God-level Dragon Tiger Pills.

Suibai unhesitatingly snatched the small bottle, uncorked it, and glanced inside, his eyes filled with shock.

Seeing that Suibai seemed to recognize the Dragon Tiger Pills, the group was slightly stunned.

It seemed this Suibai was indeed a person of considerable origin.
