Chapter 965: Chapter 965: The Heaven-Defying Magical Treasure
“God of Slaughter, if you don’t want to die, you’d best stay put!”
Feng Hao saw Bai Xiaofan approaching, and a trace of venom flashed in his eyes.
For this person he had intended to exploit but instead beca a pawn to, there was not a shred of goodwill in his heart.
After all, from childhood till now, he had only ever toyed with others—never had he been toyed with!
“Isn’t that obvious? Of course I don’t want to die. But standing here nice and proper, who’s going to bother killing ? I believe this Divinity Transformation stage big shot here wouldn’t waste his ti on a asly half-step Nascent Soul cultivator!”
Bai Xiaofan laughed mockingly, fully grasping Feng Hao’s intentions.
Though he didn’t know how this punk managed to latch onto the likes of Yichenzi, one thing was clear: the guy was scheming to use him to eliminate a rival!
“Hehe, not bad. To act so composed in such dangerous circumstances—that’s rare. Kid, what’s your na?”
Seeing Bai Xiaofan remain so calm, despite only being at the half-step Nascent Soul stage, Yichenzi felt surprised. He even seed steadier than Liu Cheng and the other four half-step Divinity Transformation experts.
Judging by the way Liu Cheng’s group spoke to Bai Xiaofan earlier, it appeared they held Bai Xiaofan in so regard as well.
“The na’s Bai Xiaofan!”
Bai Xiaofan cupped his hands with a polite yet dignified smile, answering neither submissively nor arrogantly.
“From now on, follow . I’ve been away from this world far too long—I need a couple of obedient ones around .”
Yichenzi said this casually, as though the re offer to have Bai Xiaofan join him was a supre honor.
Upon hearing Yichenzi’s words, Feng Hao wanted desperately to urge him not to take Bai Xiaofan in.
Yet he knew full well that if he dared question Yichenzi in any way, the next mont could very well be his last.
And so Feng Hao could only glare venomously at Bai Xiaofan, the man who might soon beco his ally!
Liu Cheng, Yaoyao, and the other two also turned their attention to Bai Xiaofan.
With Bai Xiaofan’s talent, if given guidance by Yichenzi, his cultivation level would surely progress by leaps and bounds!
However, just when everyone thought Bai Xiaofan would agree, he lightly shook his head.
“Apologies, but I’m the one used to taking others as slaves—I’ve never had the habit of following others.”
Crash!
Bai Xiaofan’s words left Liu Cheng’s group utterly stunned!
“Are you saying you want to make this old man your slave?”
Yichenzi’s elderly eyes narrowed slightly, his expression devoid of emotion as he lightly stared at Bai Xiaofan.
“Ahem, asking sothing like that makes bashful. But if you’re interested, I suppose I could reluctantly agree!”
Bai Xiaofan acted like he was shy, coughing awkwardly before answering Yichenzi in an exaggeratedly coy manner.
“Good. Very good. Bold indeed!”
Yichenzi nodded in admiration at Bai Xiaofan’s response.
Then his aged eyes brightened slightly, shifting toward Isis.
“Scepter of the Sovereign—are you surrendering it or not? Hand it over, and I’ll let the four of you go. Refuse, and every single one of you will die here.”
Though Yichenzi’s tone was soft, barely audible if one didn’t actively listen, his words rang loud and clear in everyone’s ears—undeniable and decisive.
None of them doubted Yichenzi’s claim, knowing he ant every word he said!
“Not handing it over!”
Isis clutched the Scepter of the Sovereign tightly, her tone firm and resolute as she pronounced each word distinctly.
As soon as her words fell, as though prearranged, Isis, Liu Cheng, and Yaoyao joined forces to launch an attack.
In that instant, the four who had been fighting just monts before unexpectedly showed rare camaraderie.
Strike first!
Even though Yichenzi claid he’d let them go, how could they be willing to relinquish such a treasure?
Besides, they didn’t truly believe Yichenzi would release them!
If he had intended to, Liu Cheng definitely wouldn’t have gotten involved and would have walked away imdiately!
Although Yichenzi had regained life and already possessed Divinity Transformation mid-stage cultivation—an impressive feat—the being capable of reducing such a powerful figure to re Primordial Spirit and sealing him inside a golden treasure chest must have been even stronger!
Now reborn, before Yichenzi’s powers returned to their peak, would he permit rumors about his forr defeat to spread?
Watching the four charging toward him, Yichenzi’s elderly eyes revealed a trace of scorn.
Had they been four early-stage Divinity Transformation experts, they might pose him so minor trouble.
But four half-step Divinity Transformation cultivators? Even with his weak current energy levels, they wouldn’t pressure him in the slightest!
Bai Xiaofan saw the four suddenly sync up their attacks and, with a wave of his hand, swung his Dragon Sparrow Sword rcilessly toward Feng Hao on the other side!
Dammit, ever since this guy approached him on the plane to buddy up and manipulate him bit by bit, did he really think Bai Xiaofan wouldn’t notice? Did he take him for an idiot?
Feng Hao saw Bai Xiaofan suddenly taking the initiative to strike him and instantly flew into a rage.
Seeking quick permission from Yichenzi, he swung his Longsword and charged straight at Bai Xiaofan.
Isis raised her delicate hand, and the Scepter of the Sovereign radiated white light once more, enveloping the four attackers as well as Bai Xiaofan and the others nearby!
Wow!
Feeling the effects of the faint white light, Bai Xiaofan’s heart remained calm but stirred with awe.
Finally, he understood why everyone was so desperate to obtain the Scepter of the Sovereign.
Damn it!
How could such a heaven-defying artifact exist?
Bathed in the light, Bai Xiaofan felt his immortal energy circulating faster than ever and becoming more abundant within him.
In contrast, Feng Hao on the opposing side looked constipated, as if his internal energy circulation had all but stopped.
This single detail alone was enough to drive any cultivator mad with desire!
With the Scepter in hand, it was akin to ensuring one’s immortal energy stayed replenished during battle, while any foes with murderous intent toward its wielder found their energy flow slow to a crawl. This ford an overwhelming gap!
Bang bang bang!
As soon as the fight comnced, Feng Hao was completely caught off guard by Bai Xiaofan’s ferocious assault, forced into relentless defense.
Ordinarily, with his cultivation level, he wouldn’t end up in such a pitiful state, given he was at half-step Divinity Transformation.
But now, under the Scepter’s suppressive force, he had instantly fallen into a disadvantage.
anwhile, Yichenzi also felt the oppressive aura radiating from the Scepter of the Sovereign.
However, it seed he was well aware of the artifact’s capabilities and showed no sign of panic. Raising his hand, he struck out with a single palm aid at Isis—the first to charge toward him.
