After all, these people were here for Jiang Xiaobai’s bounty, meaning they intend to kill Jiang Xiaobai.
Since they were already enemies, why should Jiang Xiaobai show them mercy?
Take the five individuals from before. Jiang Xiaobai had killed all of them without a second thought.
To kill, one must also be prepared to be killed. Such is the rule of this world.
At this moment, the crowd was growing more chaotic. More people were joining the battle, and someone was getting killed every second.
There were screams, cries of people who lost their comrades. But most people died quietly on the ground.
“Fatty, I’ll draw their attention by charging out later. Once they’re gone, loot the storage rings from the corpses here, got it?”
As time went by and the situation got messier, Jiang Xiaobai told this to AnRan.
AnRan nodded. Right now, he was following Jiang Xiaobai’s every word, firmly believing in him. Whatever Jiang Xiaobai instructed, he complied without any objection.
Jiang Xiaobai then gave some instructions before finding an opportunity to dash out at an astonishing speed.
Despite the chaos, there were still many bystanders on the perimeter looking to take advantage of the situation.
Seeing someone suddenly dash out, everyone was initially confused. Why did he suddenly run? Was he giving up the 50 million top-grade spirit stones?
At this moment, AnRan timely yelled in the crowd, “Bastards, that chap must have taken Hong Shixian’s head amidst the chaos! Chase him!”
Once these words left his mouth, the crowd instantly erupted.
What were they fighting in this chaotic battle for if not for Hong Shixian’s head?
Now that someone had cunningly taken it, how could they give up?
Immediately, a huge crowd started chasing after Jiang Xiaobai.
There was a disparity in strength among the crowd. The powerful ones were faster, whereas the weak ones could only try desperately to catch up.
Not long after, a gap had formed in the crowd, and Jiang Xiaobai, running at his fastest speed, was leading the pack.
When he saw that it was the right time, a cold smile crept up his face.
“Chase. Continue to chase. You dare covet my bounty; I’d love to see how you die!”
Jiang Xiaobai sneered to himself before suddenly disappearing with an earth escape technique.
The one nearest to Jiang Xiaobai instantly felt something was amiss. Why had the person ahead suddenly vanished?
“Weird, did the guy die or something? Why can’t I detect his presence?” The leader of the crowd furrowed his brows. However, for the sake of the 50 million top-grade spirit stones, he continued the pursuit.
At this point, they fell into a trap Jiang Xiaobai had left behind. It wasn’t anything deadly, just a few explosive pills similar to grenade bombs. They caused a loud bang, similar to a fight taking place ahead.
An unfamiliar face had blended into their crowd unnoticed.
“Damn, they’ve already started fighting ahead. We can’t let them get ahead of us!”
Hiding at the back of the crowd, Jiang Xiaobai shouted out loud.
The people ahead had heard the explosion and were already anxious. Jiang Xiaobai’s shout only added fuel to the fire.
The 50 million top-grade spirit stone bounty was within reach, how could they let it slip?
They rushed forward, and unknowingly run into the bewildered front group.
When the two groups clashed, the atmosphere turned awkward.
However, the group at the back saw the traces of a battle nearby and quickly assumed that the front group had succeeded. They instantly began fighting.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai, who had still planned to cause more chaos, was taken aback.
“Well, well, these people have learned to rush for answers too?” A mocking thought crossed Jiang Xiaobai’s mind, but he refrained from joining the fight.
Now, he needed to make the rear group catch up, then continue to use the earth escape technique to make it to the back and sow discord.
Consequently, the battlefield shifted, the fight resumed, and the chaos was as intense as before.
Jiang Xiaobai took advantage of the situation and rushed back to the initial location, curious about his loots.
But just as he arrived, he saw AnRan being chased by two individuals, his body covered in blood, some of it, his own.
Jiang Xiaobai instantly grew livid. Someone dared to lay his hands on his brother. Were they seeking death?
He instantly rushed forward, drew his sword and killed both individuals who were merely at the first phase of Transcendence.
“Phew, boss. Good thing you arrived just in time. Otherwise, I would be a goner.” AnRan breathed a sigh of relief as he sat down on the ground.
Jiang Xiaobai quickly checked AnRan’s condition. Fortunately, AnRan was tough. It looked like he had practiced some protective body technique. His injuries were merely skin deep which could be treated with a single pill.
“Why did you start a fight?” Jiang Xiaobai asked, baffled.
Under such circumstances, shouldn’t everyone have chased after him?
“Ai, I didn’t expect that some people, like us, came here to take advantage of the situation.”
With a sigh, AnRan explained what had transpired.
It turned out that after Jiang Xiaobai had led people away, AnRan had planned to loot the battlefield. But he found that several people were also scavenging.
A lot of people had died unclearly in the previous chaos, and nobody paid attention to storage rings on their bodies. Naturally, some people had similar thoughts.
At first, AnRan was safe. A few people were wildly seizing storage rings. But later, after grabbing everything, their greed turned towards others. Luckily, AnRan was alert. He evaded some people’s pursuits, or else he would have been the first one to be encircled and killed.
Jiang Xiaobai sighed. Indeed, not everyone was a fool.
Next, Jiang Xiaobai with AnRan returned to the initial battlefield where two or three more corpses had been added. There were also two men engaged in a fight to the death.
They were among the ones who were scavenging. Jiang Xiaobai didn’t care much and killed both of them with two slashes.
Afterward, he gathered all the battle spoils, which were more than a hundred storage rings!
“Hahaha, Boss! We’ve made it big this time!” AnRan was laughing in elation.
Jiang Xiaobai also had a smile on his face; the loot was truly substantial. He was intrigued to see their gains right away.
But this place was still too dangerous. Just when Jiang Xiaobai was preparing to leave with AnRan, suddenly, more than a dozen figures emerged, surrounding them.
All these men had achieved Transcendence!
Two were later phase Transcendents and two mid-phase Transcendents! The line-up was indeed horrifying!
Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai immediately put his guard up. He squinted his eyes and asked, “Fellow Taoists, what is the meaning of this?”
“Hehe, your strategy wasn’t bad.”
The man in the lead chuckled, “Unfortunately, you think everyone else in the world is a fool.’
“Oh? Fellow Taoist, I don’t quite understand what you mean.” Jiang Xiaobai knew his plan had been exposed, but he continued to play coy.
“You’re pretty clever, using this method to kill the people after your life and even hit some jackpot at the end.”
The powerful late phase Transcendent said coldly, a look of disdain on his face. “It’s just unfortunate for you that we knew precisely how strong Hong Shixian was. He wouldn’t just die like this in the hands of a bunch of idiots.”
“The ones who’ve returned at this time to profit off of others must be the instigators..”
