A boa constrictor tens of meters long was locked in a standoff with the shadow of the gun. Due to the massive consumption of spiritual energy, its body exploded in waves, and the size of the boa constrictor shrank dramatically with each explosion. In the blink of an eye, the boa constrictor burst into countless water droplets. Though the imposing shadow of the gun had also consumed a considerable amount of power, it still carried an unstoppable momentum, piercing through the countless water droplets and directly targeting Cheng Tao.

Cheng Tao's eyes turned cold as he looked at Luo Quan, his gaze carrying a hint of seriousness. He hadn't expected the opponent's marksmanship to be so superb. Dealing with this person wouldn't be easy. No wonder the man had been so disrespectful towards him before, not even flinching when faced with so many people. It turned out he did have some real skills.

The Bi Jiao Pearl on top of his head flashed, and several Bi Jiao surrounded a blue light shield, blocking the spear's shadow. At this time, the thunder spear had already reached its limit, piercing the blue shield and its might was finally exhausted.

Seeing the opponent about to strike again, Cheng Tao's figure flashed as he retreated over a hundred meters, rejoining his several attendants. He burst into laughter, "It feels good! I haven't had such a refreshing fight in months. Your strength isn't weak, but the Golden Condensation Fruit is the priority now. How about this, we take care of those two Qicat first, and then settle our score."

This thing is actually quite cunning. On the surface, it seemed arrogant before, but in reality, it only bullied the weak. As long as the opponent was strong enough and there were sufficient benefits at hand, it would withdraw without hesitation. Even if some people in the crowd thought Cheng Tao was a coward who preyed on the weak, they could only think about it in their hearts. After all, Cheng Tao's strength was already formidable for most foundation-building cultivators. The other party wanted to fight, so they fought, and they wanted to stop, so they stopped. They also had to have this capital and not be bullied.

Luo Qian snorted coldly. From their recent exchange, he realized the opponent's strength was not weak, and even his cultivation level was a little higher than his. If he wasn't a cultivator of the thunder system, with some restraint against the water system, and greater power than the opponent, he might have been at a disadvantage. In a real fight, it would probably just be a draw, and wasting mana in this way wouldn't be wise, especially with so many people eyeing the Golden Condensation Fruit.

At this time, Lu Xia Tian, who had donned the Fire Jiao scales armor, blended back into the crowd. He was equally perceptive of the subtle situation before him.

“With so many people here, there are only eleven Gold Condensing Fruits. How can we divide them If it weren't for us, why would we fight these two Qu Cats These two Qu Cats are very powerful, and even ten or so cultivators couldn't stand a chance against them.” Someone immediately spoke up loudly.

“That’s right, if you think you can take over the Golden Condensation Fruit after dealing with Qiu Mao, then all of us will have worked for nothing, won't we” a monk wearing a string of beads around his neck replied.

Cheng Tao glared around the room, but despite witnessing his prowess, no one dared to challenge him. They were simply unwilling to be the first to make a move. If Cheng Tao chose to act now, it would undoubtedly affect everyone's interests.

“Since that’s the case, let’s first join forces to deal with Qu Mao. After we execute these two demonic beasts, as for the Jinning fruit, everyone will rely on their own abilities. Whoever grabs it gets it. Otherwise, with so many people here, saying who should get a share is ridiculous.” After drawing even with Luo Qian, Cheng Tao’s original plan naturally fell through. However, he wasn’t someone stubborn. One plan failing didn't mean everything was over; he could always come up with another. He had several people around him; it was unlikely they would be completely robbed in this situation. The difference was just how much more or less they could grab.

Cheng Tao looked at Luo Qian and Su Qing with inquiring eyes. From the way they interacted, Luo Qian seemed to be more in a position of following. It was very likely that this alluring woman's strength was not inferior to Lei Xiu Luo Qian he had just fought. As long as these two agreed, those who were basically weaker would only have to follow their arrangements.

"Alright, then let's do it that way." Su Qing nodded in agreement directly. Although the other party's eyes were a bit irritating, the Condensing Gold Fruit was the most important thing. Besides, she also thought this was the best solution. After all, with her and Luo Qian's abilities, grabbing a few Condensing Gold Fruits wouldn't be a big problem.

Although others found it not ideal, they couldn't come up with a better solution at the moment after some thought, so they agreed to this plan.

With so many people present, it was impossible to rush in all at once. Soon, the crowd discussed and decided on an attack plan. Cheng Tao's men, a total of thirty-four people, were divided into three squads, using a wheel fighting method. The four squads were divided into two waves, employing a wheel fighting tactic.

Lu Xiaitian's luck was pretty good. He ended up on a team with Luo Qian and Su Qing. He couldn't help but smile inwardly; it seemed he wouldn't have to exert too much effort for now. He could still save some strength for later. The team wasn't just Cheng Tao who had ambitions, there were also a wave of others further away laying their traps. They just didn't know it yet.

“These two Qicat are not simple, even ten casual cultivators would be no match for them. But now we have more people and several masters. As long as we work together, it should be easy to kill these two Qicat. Everyone, please don't hold back.” The ascetic monk looked at the golden Qicat and reminded.

"Amazing!" many exclaimed in surprise.

"Those who fear death should retreat now while they still can." Luo Qian, despite his high talent and bold nature, glared at the other party and took a step forward, putting himself half a body ahead of Su Qing. Lu Xiaoteng pulled out a round shield with sharp spikes from his storage bag. This shield was incredibly sturdy, boasting powerful defense and even a counterattack function. However, its peculiar appearance made it stand out awkwardly within the team.

"Looking at you like this, aren't you planning to use this big shield as a turtle shell Charging into battle with a turtle shell on your head won't worry about the Qicat attacking you. However, just thinking about defense isn't enough. If we keep defending like this, will we even be able to slay the monster beasts" A short man with an eight-character mustache looked at Lu Xia Tian and said in a yin and yang manner.

"I'll fight you later, I won't put in any less effort than you. You have this free time, why don't you take care of yourself instead." Lu Xia Tian replied coldly.

"Stop wasting time and hurry up, follow me! Anyone who doesn't work hard, don't blame me for being impolite." Su Qing said coldly as she turned her head back.

"Kid, let's just wait and see." The middle-aged man with a walrus mustache snorted and glared menacingly at Lu Xia Tian. Originally, he did have some plans to make a muddle of things, push Lu Xia Tian, who looked lonely and vulnerable, out as a scapegoat so that he could get by unscathed. Unexpectedly, despite his young age, Lu Xia Tian had quite the temper and stood up to him directly. Seeing that this was how things ended, he wouldn't let this kid off easy. The woman was with the young Lei Xiu, someone he couldn't afford to offend. Could he really not afford to offend this clueless kid Back then, the Buddha Sect and some powerful demon clans swore an oath with the boundary stone, leaving a strong curse power on it. Even though many years have passed, it wouldn't be easy to dispel t...
