Suddenly, everyone glared angrily, looking towards the source of the voice, as if they wanted to drag the speaker out and give them a good beating.
However, this was understandable. They had just worked tirelessly to defeat the Fire Spirit Lion and were about to reap the rewards when someone suddenly suggested they go back, which naturally infuriated everyone.
But when they saw who had spoken, their faces were filled with astonishment.
There lay Lu Hongming, the Vice Captain of the Skeleton Adventure Team, who had been on the verge of death just moments ago, now suddenly full of life and vitality. He looked at the Xiao Brothers in the distance with eyes full of mockery.
Beside Lu Hongming, Qiu Wenxuan wore a look of triumph on his face.
Clearly, Lu Hongming had only pretended to be incapacitated to deceive everyone. His true intention was to step in and clean up the aftermath, essentially taking advantage of the situation.
"The Skeleton Adventure Team has indeed proven to be a formidable force in Mystic Spirit Town," Aotian remarked quietly as he observed the members of the Skeleton Adventure Team.
Previously, Aotian had witnessed Lu Hongming being struck by the Fire Spirit Lion, yet now Lu Hongming appeared completely unscathed, which shocked Aotian.
"Yes, yes. Fortunately, Senior Xiao Ya did not reveal her true strength. With her abilities, dealing with them would be a matter of seconds!" Wang Shuiqun seemed to flatter Xiao Ya, speaking with rare sycophancy.
Aotian and Xiao Ya exchanged glances and looked at Wang Shuiqun but did not speak.
While everyone was still stunned by Lu Hongming's sudden recovery, he slowly walked up to the Xiao Brothers and said with a faint smile:
"It seems that my Skeleton Adventure Team has indeed made quite a haul this time. Not only can we obtain the Mystic Spirit Fruit, but the Mystic Pill from the Fire Spirit Lion is also within our grasp. More importantly, the renowned Xiao Brothers are about to meet their end at my hands."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The three brothers exchanged glances; they were determined to fight Lu Hongming but were severely injured and unable to move. All they could do was display their regret and unwillingness.
"Haha! Are you regretting opposing my Skeleton Adventure Team? No worries! As long as you bow down to me and dedicate your lives to my Skeleton Adventure Team, I can spare you from death," Lu Hongming said with his hands clasped behind his back, adopting a magnanimous demeanor.
"Bah! Bow down? I only regret not killing you earlier, you spineless scum!" Xiao Yanyang shouted disdainfully.
"Hmm? You dare to insult me even when death is imminent? Fine, I'll let you curse!"
Lu Hongming snorted angrily, and immediately, a powerful Mystical Energy enveloped his right palm. He struck Xiao Yanyang hard across the face.
Instantly, Xiao Yanyang was sent flying far away, a trace of crimson blood at the corner of his mouth, and his once round face was now swollen and red.
"Flame Sun!"
Xiao Qingfeng and Xiao Lengyue both shouted in anguish, their eyes filled with endless resentment towards Lu Hongming.
"Heh heh, I see you won't surrender either. Well, I'm too lazy to waste time with you. Since you refuse my kindness, I'll send your third brother to hell first!"
Lu Hongming sneered. Then, a vast Mystical Energy coalesced into a palm print and slammed towards Xiao Yanyang's chest. If this strike landed, it would truly mean the end for the three brothers.
"Ah! Whoever can help us escape this predicament, we three brothers will surely repay them generously in the future!"
Seeing the despair on Xiao Yanyang's face pierced Xiao Qingfeng's heart like countless needles. He then turned to the crowd in Mountain Valley and shouted urgently, his eyes revealing a hint of pleading.
The crowd exchanged glances; the favor of the Xiao Brothers was indeed tempting, but who would dare offend the Skeleton Adventure Team in Mystic Spirit Town?
Thus, although some warriors wanted to help, they ultimately shook their heads helplessly.
The Xiao Brothers looked at the crowd's indifference, and despair began to fill their eyes.
Perhaps today is truly the day we three brothers will perish here?
Seeing this, Lu Hongming sneered; he did not believe anyone would dare offend the Skeleton Adventure Team for the sake of the Xiao Brothers. Therefore, in his view, he was the biggest winner in today's contest for the Mystic Spirit Fruit.
Thinking this way, the killing intent in the palm strike aimed at Xiao Yanyang became even more intense.
"Hehe, one should spare others when possible. Don't you think the Skeleton Adventure Team is being a bit too domineering?"
Suddenly, a light laugh echoed. Immediately, a wave of Mystical Energy, as strong as Lu Hongming's, fiercely struck the palm print aimed at Xiao Yanyang, allowing Xiao Yanyang, who was on the verge of death, to narrowly escape disaster.
"Who? Who dares to meddle in the affairs of my Skeleton Adventure Team?!" Lu Hongming turned to the dense crowd and shouted.
Instantly, the crowd that had been gathered together quickly retreated to both sides, seemingly afraid of being misunderstood by Lu Hongming.
Among the crowd, the three members of Aotian were suddenly exposed to Lu Hongming's gaze.
"It’s you?!"
A voice of astonishment came from Qiu Wenxuan.
He still vividly remembered Aotian and Xiao Ya, who had made him suffer a loss in the trading area.
"Wenxuan, who are they?"
Lu Hongming said in a deep voice. For some reason, he sensed a faint aura of danger emanating from Xiao Ya.
"Vice Captain, these two are the ones who competed with me for that iron piece in the trading area. They showed no regard for our Skeleton Adventure Team in their words!" Qiu Wenxuan replied, his eyes revealing a sinister glint.
Clearly, he had long harbored resentment towards Aotian and Xiao Ya.
"Friends, there’s a wide road ahead; let’s go our separate ways. I apologize on behalf of Wenxuan for your grievances, but I hope you won't interfere in the matters between our Skeleton Adventure Team and the Xiao Brothers."
Lu Hongming ignored Qiu Wenxuan's hatred towards Aotian and the others and instead apologized for Qiu Wenxuan in front of everyone. This left the crowd utterly astonished.
The arrogance of the Skeleton Adventure Team is well-known to everyone. However, now Lu Hongming, a member of the Skeleton Adventure Team, is not standing up for his team but instead publicly apologizing, which naturally surprises everyone.
Immediately, as people looked at Aotian and the others, there was a hint of awe in their eyes. Anyone who could make the Skeleton Adventure Team back down must possess considerable strength.
In this world where "might makes right," power is always the most respected.
In fact, Lu Hongming felt quite displeased inside.
He sensed a hint of danger from Xiao Ya. Whether it was just his imagination or not, he thought it best to send Aotian and the others away first. Once he dealt with the Xiao Brothers, he would consider the matter with Aotian. After all, at this sensitive moment, nothing could go wrong.
However, Aotian and the others were not buying Lu Hongming's act:
"Well, about the Xiao Brothers, we brothers are protecting them!"
In an instant, the atmosphere around them seemed to freeze...
