Chapter 4236 - 4236 Additional Reward
4236 Additional Reward
When Duan Ling Tian and the veiled young woman made a move, Hou Dong, Qiu Ping, and the two imminent Supreme Gods had already begun to fight the other five gatekeepers of the level.
Since the imminent Supreme God from the Sanction Land was hiding his strength, Hou Dong bellowed, “There’s no imminent Supreme God among them! Kill them!”
Hou Dong’s energy surged, and he became much stronger. The last trace of worry in his heart disappeared completely when he discovered their opponents were only almost as strong as imminent Supreme Gods. Since there were no imminent Supreme God among their opponents, what was there to worry about?
Earlier, Hou Dong was still worried that there would be imminent Supreme Gods among their opponents. As such, he had held back and stayed close to the imminent Supreme God he brought with him. Now that his worries were dispelled, he no longer had any scruples and let loose completely.
At the same time, Qiu Ping and the other two imminent Supreme Gods smiled smugly. Without an imminent Supreme God, their opponents were no match for them at all. It would be easy to kill all of them.
As for Jiang Yu Wei and Hou Lian Yu, they slowed down a little after hearing Hou Dong’s words. Since there was no imminent Supreme Gods among their opponents, they felt that the four people in front of them were more than enough to deal with their five opponents from the Sanction Land.
Even Duan Ling Tian and the veiled young woman instinctively slowed down when Jiang Yu Wei and Hou Lian Yu slowed down.
Not long after, the four people in Duan Ling Tian’s group fought the five opponents and quickly gained the upper hand.
Suddenly, Duan Ling Tian’s eyes narrowed when his eyes fell on the seemingly weakest person among the five people from the Sanction Land.
There was something amiss with the other person. Despite seeming like the weakest with the other four protecting him, his eyes were fixed on the four people from Duan Ling Tian’s group as though he was calculating something. It was as though he was the core of the group.
After a moment, the veiled young woman’s eyes also fell on that person. Clearly, she had also sensed that something was amiss with that person.
In the next moment, the seemingly weakest person of the group from the Sanction Land, who was targeted by two people from Duan Ling Tian’s group, deliberately moved closer to the imminent Supreme God, whom Hou Dong brought here. Following that, his energy suddenly exploded.
Boom!
A terrifying destructive energy surged out as a gigantic hammer fell from the sky toward Hou Dong’s imminent Supreme God who was chasing another person from the Sanction Land.
Initially, Hou Dong’s imminent Supreme God did not pay attention to the imminent Supreme God from the Sanction Land. After all, he assumed the other party was the weakest among the opponents. At this time, he suddenly discovered that the weakest opponent was now no weaker than him, becoming far stronger than the person he was chasing. Due to his inattention in the beginning, the prominent divine artifact of the imminent Supreme God of the Sanction Land, which had been imbued with bloodline power, fell on him heavily like Thor’s hammer.
“Help me!!” the imminent Supreme God, whom Hou Dong found, cried out. He panicked now that his life was being threatened. He hastily turned around, trying to avoid the attack. Alas, his movements were a little too slow.
Boom!
The others had yet to react when an explosion rang in the air after the giant hammer with the bloodline power and the destructive energy fell on Hou Dong’s imminent Supreme God. It easily crushed his attack before crushing him.
A blood mist had just appeared in the air when it was dispersed by the wind, causing Qiu Ping and his imminent Supreme Gods to feel chills running up their spines.
Just like that, an imminent Supreme God died.
“How’s this possible?!”
Hou Dong’s expression changed drastically. He did not expect an imminent Supreme God to be hiding among the five people from the Sanction Land.
“Kill them!”
Before Duan Ling Tian and the others caught up, the four people from the Sanction Land who were almost as strong as imminent Supreme Gods rushed toward Hou Dong and Qiu Ping. Since the duo’s strength was on par with theirs, it was only natural that they had the advantage since there were four of them.
At the same time, the imminent Supreme God, whom Qiu Ping found, fought fiercely with the imminent Supreme God from the Sanction Land.
“Jiang Yu Wei, Hou Liang Yu, hurry up!” Hou Dong roared. He could not help but feel anxious at this time. He did not dare to fight the four opponents in front of him and hurriedly retreated.
Similarly, Qiu Ping retreated as well, feeling flustered.
Jiang Yu Wei did not move immediately. Her beautiful eyes lit up as she murmured, “He really hid his strength well…”
At this time, Hou Lian Yu who was just about to make a move was stopped by Duan Ling Tian.
Duan Ling Tian said, “Be patient… You should only make a move after Jiang Yu Wei makes a move…”
Hou Lian Yu was slightly puzzled. He frowned when he saw that Jiang Yu Wei was not moving at all. Soon enough, his expression turned solemn when a thought appeared in his mind. It was clear to him now that Jiang Yu Wei did not make a move immediately because she hoped that Hou Dong and Qiu Ping would suffer some injuries. She clearly harbored selfish intentions.
However, everyone was selfish to a certain extent. Hou Lian Yu was not completely selfless as well.
Hou Lian Yu and Hou Dong did not have a particularly good relationship even though they were from the same clan. As for Qiu Ping and the others from the Misty Rain Divine Sect, they were no different from strangers to him. There was no reason for him to help the others when Jiang Yu Wei had yet to take action. After all, without Jiang Yu Wei, he would also be injured if he stepped forward to help Hou Dong and Qiu Ping now. Unless Duan Ling Tian helped him, the three of them were no match for the four people from the Sanction Land at all.
The four people from the Sanction Land chased after Hou Dong and Qiu Ping, and both of them were injured in just a blink of an eye, spitting out blood.
At this time, Jiang Yu Wei and Hou Lian Yu finally made a move while Duan Ling Tian and the veiled young woman followed closely behind.
Duan Ling Tian used the law of fire again as he joined forces with Hou Lian Yu, Jiang Yu Wei, and the veiled young woman.
Despite being injured, Hou Dong and Qiu Ping were still able to fight.
As such, it did not take long before the four people from the Sanction Land, who had the upper hand just a moment ago, were completely suppressed.
At this time, Hou Lian Yu quickly seized the chance and said apologetically, “I’m sorry. I was a little distracted earlier. I was really shocked that there’s an imminent Supreme God among them…”
Jiang Yu Wei, who was planning to use the same excuse, frowned slightly upon hearing Hou Lian Yu’s words. Then, she hastily said, “Me too. I really didn’t expect there to be an imminent Supreme God.”
At the same time, Jiang Yu Wei could not help but wonder inwardly, ‘Why did Hou Lian Yu suddenly become smarter?’
Previously, Jiang Yu Wei, Qiu Ping, Hou Lian Yu, and Hou Dong wandered the Realm Battlefield together. As such, she understood Hou Lian Yu to a certain extent. Although Hou Lian Yu was calm and rational, he was also dense and honest to a fault. He was definitely not cunning like he was now; he was like a different person at this moment.
‘Is it because of his helper?’ Jiang Yu Wei could not help but speculate.
Jiang Yu Wei’s speculation was correct. Duan Ling Tian had reminded Hou Lian Yu and taught him to say those words through Voice Transmission earlier. He knew Hou Dong and Qiu Ping would definitely question Hou Lian Yu and Jiang Yu Wei after the fight. After all, Hou Dong and Qiu Ping were injured due to Jiang Yu Wei and Hou Lian Yu’s brief hesitation earlier.
If Jiang Yu Wei had spoken first, Qiu Ping and Hou Dong would definitely place the blame on Hou Lian Yu. Similarly, now that Hou Lian Yu had spoken first, Jiang Yu Wei was in a disadvantageous position. However, fortunately for Jiang Yu Wei, the duo would not dare to blame her openly. After all, Qiu Ping was from the Misty Rain Divine Sect as well, and most importantly, Jiang Yu Wei’s status was higher than his in the sect. As for Hou Dong, he had lost his helper so he definitely would not dare to show dissatisfaction to the duo from the Misty Rain Divine Sect.
Just like this, the matter was swept under the rug.
Hou Lian Yu, Jiang Yu Wei, Qiu Ping, and Hou Dong continued to attack the four people from the Sanction Land. Qiu Ping and Hou Dong’s attacks were particularly fierce due to their anger.
The four people from the Sanction Land continued to lose ground. They wanted to ask for help from the imminent Supreme God from the Sanction Land, but he was occupied with Qiu Ping’s imminent Supreme God. Under these circumstances, they fell deeper and deeper into despair, losing the will to fight before they died one after another.
After the four people from the Sanction Land died, Duan Ling Tian and the others flew toward the two imminent Supreme Gods, who were fighting. With numbers on their side, they easily turned the tide of the battle despite most of them only possessing the strength close to an imminent Supreme God.
The imminent Supreme God from the Sanction Land lost his fighting spirit after a while, and in the end, he was killed by the imminent Supreme God who Qiu Ping found.
With this, they passed the eighth level in the natural secret realm.
“We did it!” Hou Lian Yu exclaimed.
Contrary to Hou Lian Yu’s joyful expression and the faint smiles on Jiang Yu Wei and Qiu Ping’s faces, Hou Dong wore a dark expression on his face. It was only natural since he suffered the biggest loss this time. Not only was he injured, but the imminent Supreme God whom he had found to help him died as well. This meant that he no longer had the qualifications to fight the others if they discovered treasures in the future. He could only meekly follow the others.
Hou Dong took a deep breath as he glanced at Jiang Yu Wei and Qiu Ping. Then, he shifted his eyes to Hou Lian Yu as he said through Voice Transmission, “Hou Lian Yu, although we’re not on particularly good terms, we have to work together now. As it is now, the people of the Misty Rain Divine Sect have the upper hand.”
Contrary to Hou Dong’s expectations, Hou Lian Yu sneered upon hearing the Voice Transmission. He said without using Voice Transmission, “Hou Dong, now that your helper is dead, you want to join forces with me? Keep dreaming! I have no interest in joining forces with you.”
Naturally, Hou Dong’s expression turned unsightly when he heard Hou Lian Yu’s refusal. If it were not impossible, he would have left the natural secret realm at this moment. After all, there was no doubt that he would not gain any benefits from staying in the natural secret realm now. Not only that, but his life was at risk now that he lost his helper.
Apart from that, Hou Dong was also a little puzzled. He could not help but wonder why Hou Lian Yu suddenly became so difficult.
Suddenly, Qiu Ping’s imminent Supreme God exclaimed, “There’s additional reward!”
Duan Ling Tian and the others instinctively followed the direction of his gaze.
After the rewards from killing the people from the Sanction Land vanished, a beam of light carrying a divine pill shone down from the sky. Following that, the tempting fragrance of the divine pill permeated the air in the canyon.
At this moment, except for Duan Ling Tian, everyone’s eyes lit up immediately.
