The cave was shrouded in darkness, but fortunately, Aotian and the others were martial artists who had entered the Innate Realm, so this darkness posed no trouble for them.
Especially for Aotian, as his Soul Power swept through the surroundings, everything appeared in his Mind, making the darkness no different from daytime for him.
The group walked slowly. Suddenly, a heavy Bloodthirst assaulted their senses, causing everyone to feel a wave of nausea.
Then, a beam of light illuminated the eyes of the six.
Before them lay a vast open space, but at that moment, the ground was littered with corpses. Above their heads was a clear blue sky, and sunlight streamed down onto the ground, dispelling the previous darkness.
Aotian looked around and couldn't help but gasp in shock.
Corpses were sprawled across the once tidy ground, with streams of fresh blood gathering like rivers, painting the surroundings a deep red.
Among the scattered bodies, a giant lion quickly caught everyone's attention. In the lion's embrace lay a small lion cub about the size of a Pug, but both Fire Spirit Lions were stained with thick blood.
It was horrific! This was Aotian's only thought. Although he knew that the situation in the cave must be terrifying, seeing it with his own eyes still filled him with dread.
"Ha ha, having paid such a great price, I have finally obtained this Mystic Spirit Fruit..."
Suddenly, a hoarse and chilling voice of a middle-aged man echoed slowly.
Aotian and the others were slightly startled and turned their gaze toward a corner.
There stood a middle-aged man in Golden Armor with his back to them, seemingly rubbing something in his hands.
At his feet lay the bodies of members from the Skeleton Adventure Team, including Qiu Wenxuan, who was sprawled on the ground with an expression filled with deep fear and regret before death.
"Uh, excuse me, but you probably won't have the fortune to enjoy the Mystic Spirit Fruit!" Aotian suddenly spoke up.
Immediately, the man in Golden Armor was startled, turning around with eyes that shot like arrows at Aotian and the others.
"Lu Hongming?!"
Although Lu Hongming's hair was disheveled and his face was covered in dirt and blood, Aotian and the others could still vaguely make out his outline.
"You... how did you come here?" Lu Hongming's eyes rolled around, seemingly lost in thought.
"Haha, why can't we come? Until I personally take care of you, I, Xiao Lengyue, will write my name backward!" Xiao Lengyue sneered, his eyes filled with a bloodthirsty glint.
Seeing Xiao Lengyue's expression, those around them rolled their eyes in disbelief.
Though Aotian had just met the Xiao Brothers, he understood that among the three brothers, it was the second brother, Xiao Lengyue, who was the most bloodthirsty and combative.
"Heh, I never expected that Qiu Mingjie would actually be willing to give you his personal armor. No wonder you could withstand a kick from the Fire Spirit Lion without a scratch," Xiao Qingfeng said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.
Aotian felt a slight stir in his heart; this Qiu Mingjie must be the captain of the Skeleton Adventure Team, right?
At this moment, Aotian had completely severed ties with the Skeleton Adventure Team, so he was particularly interested in any information regarding them. Especially concerning their captain, Qiu Mingjie, who was not to be underestimated.
"What do you want?" Lu Hongming glared at Aotian and the others, shouting sternly.
"Heh, I'm only here for the Mystic Spirit Fruit. As for your life, I believe the Xiao Brothers will take care of that," Aotian replied calmly.
The Xiao Brothers did not speak, but their eyes revealed a strong killing intent.
If it weren't for Aotian and the others today, the three brothers would have likely perished at Lu Hongming's hands. Now, Lu Hongming was clearly severely injured. How could the Xiao Brothers pass up such an opportunity to "kick a man when he's down"?
Lu Hongming's expression changed dramatically as he said with a fierce tone, "If you dare to kill me, the Skeleton Adventure Team will never let you go!"
"Haha, as long as we kill you, no one will know about this!" Aotian said lightly, as if discussing an inconsequential matter.
Xiao Ya and the others looked at Aotian with admiration in their eyes.
To become a Peak Martial Artist, one must never show mercy to their enemies, and Aotian's ruthlessness towards foes was essential.
Upon hearing Aotian's words, Lu Hongming immediately shouted, "Good! Since you insist on forcing me into a desperate situation, I will fulfill your wish!"
He then pointed to his Storage Ring. Suddenly, a green pill appeared in his hand, which he swallowed without hesitation.
To everyone's astonishment, Lu Hongming's pale face instantly turned rosy, and even his previously waning aura became strong and imposing again.
"Is that... a Spirit Pill?!" Xiao Qingfeng exclaimed in shock upon seeing the green pill.
“Spirit Pill?” Aotian looked at Xiao Qingfeng with confusion.
Xiao Qingfeng noticed Aotian's puzzled expression and explained, “Spirit Pill is a type of pill that overdraws one's vitality. Anyone who takes this pill can instantly recover from any injury, as long as their body hasn't turned to dust, and their cultivation level will even increase by one tier. However, for martial artists above Innate Realm, it has little effect. The most important thing is that this pill will deplete the user's lifespan by fifty years, so no one dares to take it lightly.”
Upon hearing Xiao Qingfeng's explanation, Aotian suddenly understood.
Indeed, no one would dare to take the Spirit Pill lightly. Even an Innate Martial Artist only has a lifespan of about a hundred years, and to deplete fifty years... it could be said that their achievements would be forever halted.
However, this also made Aotian realize that Lu Hongming had already made up his mind to face death; otherwise, he would never have taken the Spirit Pill. After taking the Spirit Pill, Lu Hongming would likely be on par with Xiao Ya in terms of cultivation, and a great battle was probably inevitable.
“Haha, is this the power of Innate Peak? Truly intoxicating!”
Suddenly, Lu Hongming let out a loud laugh, but his laughter was filled with endless resentment.
“Let’s be careful!” Xiao Ya's expression turned serious as she subtly stepped forward to shield Aotian behind her.
The Xiao Brothers also stood firmly beside Aotian, protecting him closely.
Xiao Ya and the Xiao Brothers' actions did not go unnoticed by Aotian; he felt a warm current flowing through him as he looked at the four middle-aged men before him.
Wang Shuiqun's expression changed slightly; instead of protecting Aotian, he cautiously watched Lu Hongming, seemingly afraid that Lu Hongming would launch an attack against him.
“Hehe, today you all will stay here as companions in death!”
Lu Hongming let out a fierce shout, and an overwhelming aura surged from within him, filling the entire cave.
At this moment, Aotian felt as if he were caught in a raging storm, as if he could be obliterated at any moment.
"Accompanying you to the grave? Just based on you?!"
Xiao Ya also shouted defiantly, her powerful aura crashing towards Lu Hongming.
"Bang!"
A dull thud echoed as Xiao Ya and Lu Hongming both took a step back simultaneously. Clearly, neither had gained the upper hand in this clash of auras.
Lu Hongming slowly lifted his head, a hint of crimson spreading in his eyes:
"If I couldn't deal with you before, well now, heh heh, die!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Profound Qi seemed to show signs of unrest...
