Chapter 80

As the divine scroll tore, hundreds of divine patterns burst forth, and a dazzling light suddenly blossomed. A massive shadow of a wild ox appeared before everyone’s eyes.

This wild ox was several zhang tall, with a skin that had a metallic green texture. It was surrounded by flames that resembled specks of starlight, and a mighty and powerful aura spread out.

A divine technique of the Spirit Rank, the Starfire Wild Ox!

"All those treasures are mine, no one can touch them!" Lu Zhao’s face was twisted with a bloodthirsty and manic grin, his eyes glaring at the crowd rushing towards him.

"Kill!" With a low growl from Lu Zhao, the several-zhang-tall Starfire Wild Ox shadow let out a long roar, stomped its thick hooves, and fiercely charged at the crowd.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The Starfire Wild Ox shadow was surrounded by specks of starlight flames. As it stomped its hooves, two streams of white gas spewed from its nostrils, its face was hideously terrifying, and its might was overwhelming, causing the ground to shake violently.

"Roar!" The Starfire Wild Ox shadow charged forward, crushing everyone in its path. It directly slammed the dozen or so martial artists who were at the forefront, shattering their bones and even rupturing their internal organs.

"Ah—"

"Lu Zhao, I will never let you go, even in death!" The tragic wails echoed in the air.

The dozen martial artists who were hit fell to the ground, their bodies convulsing, and blood mixed with fragments of internal organs spewed from their mouths, a sight too gruesome to bear, clearly indicating they were on the brink of death!

The Starfire Wild Ox shadow had taken the lives of a dozen people in one charge!

Seeing this, everyone trembled, their eyes wide open, pupils constricted, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over them from head to toe. Their scalps tingled, and cold sweat drenched their clothes.

A dozen martial artists who were lively just moments ago had lost their lives in the blink of an eye. This terrifying scene made the bloodshot eyes and madness in everyone’s hearts fade, and they suddenly came to their senses.

"Retreat!"

"Quickly retreat, quickly retreat!" Everyone looked at the Starfire Wild Ox shadow in terror, turned around quickly, and retreated together, no one daring to take another step forward.

"Lu Zhao!"

"Are you out of your mind?" After retreating several dozen meters and confirming that the Starfire Wild Ox shadow could no longer threaten their safety, everyone glared at Lu Zhao, who stood behind the Starfire Wild Ox with a manic smile on his face, their eyes burning with anger.

"A divine technique of the Spirit Rank!" Hong Xun and Xue Yao, who were protecting Ye Wei, gazed at the Starfire Wild Ox shadow, their eyes flashing with caution.

No one could have imagined that Lu Zhao actually had a divine scroll of the Spirit Rank!

When everyone was fighting the stone puppet and their lives were on the line, Lu Zhao did nothing. Who would have thought that Lu Zhao was hiding so deeply?

Now, in the presence of countless treasures, Lu Zhao finally revealed his vicious fangs!

Although Lu Zhao used a divine technique of the Spirit Rank, he still looked at Ye Wei with some apprehension, holding four Spirit Rank divine scrolls in his hand, ready to use them to block Ye Wei if he made a move.

According to his plan, as long as he could block Ye Wei, he would have a chance to seize the treasures and use them against Ye Wei and the others!

"Lu Zhao, do you want to keep all the treasures for yourself?" Hong Xun’s face turned cold, his icy gaze piercing through the Starfire Wild Ox shadow and landing on Lu Zhao.

"Lu Zhao, can you swallow so many treasures? Aren’t you afraid of choking to death?" Xue Yao’s face was stern, her hands tightly clenched, and the elemental energy around her body began to circulate, ready to attack at any moment.

When fighting the stone puppet, Lu Zhao did not use the divine scroll. Now, to seize the treasures, he tore the divine scroll and killed a dozen martial artists. His selfish and cruel actions ignited everyone’s anger, making him the target of everyone’s wrath!

"Idiot!" Ye Wei thought to himself, his face also turning grim. He never expected Lu Zhao to be so vicious.

The divine scrolls, barbarian bone artifacts, pills, precious metals, and valuable herbs floating in the air were all illusions. Lu Zhao, the fool, killed a dozen martial artists for these illusions, angering everyone. I’ll see how you deal with this!

"Hmph, Lu Zhao, even if you take these treasures, do you think you can leave the Blood Mist Valley?" Hong Xun’s voice was like a bell, staring straight at Lu Zhao, he shouted angrily.

"Lu Zhao, I advise you not to make a mistake!"

"Do you think you can keep all the treasures to yourself? Even Moye and Jinyan knew to leave seven low-grade barbarian bone artifacts. Who do you think you are?" Everyone’s icy gazes, through the gradually fading Starfire Wild Ox shadow, stared at Lu Zhao.

"I, Lu Zhao, do as I please. If you have the ability, come over. Hmph, if you don’t have the courage, shut up!" Lu Zhao, holding the four faintly glowing Spirit Rank divine scrolls, sneered and glanced at everyone with disdain.

"You!" Everyone pointed at Lu Zhao in anger, their bodies trembling, but no one dared to take a step forward.

A divine scroll of the middle grade contained a Mystic Rank divine technique. Lu Zhao still had one middle-grade divine scroll, and the dozen dead martial artists were a warning. No matter how angry they were, no one dared to charge forward again.

Treasures were tempting, but one had to have the life to enjoy them!

Although everyone knew that a single Spirit Rank divine scroll could kill dozens of people, it couldn’t threaten the lives of hundreds, no one was willing to risk their life to pave the way for others, especially since Lu Zhao still had four divine scrolls.

"You!" Xue Yao’s small hands cracked with anger, and in a fit of rage, she drew divine patterns in the air, ready to charge forward regardless of the consequences.

Just as Xue Yao took half a step, Ye Wei, standing beside her, suddenly reached out and stopped her.

"Since Lu Zhao likes those treasures so much, let him take them!" Ye Wei stopped Xue Yao, glancing at Lu Zhao casually, a faint smile on his face, teasingly.

"Hmm?" Xue Yao stopped, looking at Ye Wei with some confusion. Ye Wei had used three middle-grade divine scrolls to fight the stone puppet. Was he not at all heartbroken, not at all tempted by so many treasures?

If Lu Zhao got those treasures, his strength would increase, making him even harder to deal with.

"Pay no attention to him, those things are just illusions!" Ye Wei looked at Xue Yao’s puzzled face and smiled, speaking softly.

"Illusions?" Xue Yao’s eyes widened, looking at the countless treasures floating in the air and then at Ye Wei’s calm and confident expression, she hesitated for a moment, slowly stepping back, and stood beside Ye Wei again.

"Hmph! You know your place!" Lu Zhao sneered, glancing at everyone with satisfaction, turned to look at the countless treasures floating in the air, licked his lips, and his eyes shone with greed.

"All mine, all mine, hahaha!" Lu Zhao laughed maniacally in his heart, completely ignoring everyone’s threats. With so many Spirit Rank divine scrolls, no one would dare to move!

Once he got those treasures, his strength would increase, and he would be absolutely safe in the Blood Mist Valley. As for leaving the Blood Mist Valley, he would be even less afraid. His second uncle, Lu Zhongtian, a Condensation Essence Realm expert of the Lu family, was guarding outside the Blood Mist Valley.

Lu Zhongtian was a four-star Condensation Essence Realm expert, and even Jinyan and Moye would not dare to act rashly in front of a four-star Condensation Essence Realm expert!

With a sense of invincibility, Lu Zhao stared at the nearest barbarian bone artifact, a satisfied smile on his face, and stretched out his hand to grab the floating barbarian bone artifact.

The moment Lu Zhao’s hand touched the barbarian bone artifact, his satisfied smile froze, the heat in his eyes disappeared, replaced by extreme shock.

"How can this be?!" Lu Zhao watched his hand easily pass through the barbarian bone artifact, feeling as if he had been struck by lightning, he couldn’t help but shout, his voice filled with disbelief and unwillingness.

Illusion!

The barbarian bone artifact was an illusion!

"No, no, it can’t be, it can’t be!" Lu Zhao, in a fit of madness, pounced on the divine scrolls, jade slips, pills, and barbarian bone artifacts floating in the air, but without exception, his hand passed through them all.

Illusion, illusion, all illusions!

The crowd, standing at a distance, first froze, then their faces broke into smug smiles, their hearts filled with a sense of satisfaction that words could not describe. If those treasures were real and all fell into Lu Zhao’s hands, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Lu Zhao’s efforts were in vain, and he got nothing.

Even the usually stern and unsmiling Hong Xun, looking at Lu Zhao like a mad dog, couldn’t help but smile faintly, a hint of a smile appearing on his rugged face.

"Little brother, how did you know?" Xue Yao, with her bright eyes, looked at Ye Wei in surprise, asking curiously.

As Lu Zhao kept missing, Xue Yao naturally saw that the countless treasures were illusions, but the illusions were so realistic that they couldn’t be distinguished by the naked eye. How did Ye Wei know?

Looking at Ye Wei, memories of him using three divine scrolls to fight the stone puppet, walking out of the blood cocoon unscathed, and breaking the crystal jade wall came to her mind. Xue Yao became more and more curious about Ye Wei’s background. What was the origin of this young man?

"This... I’ll explain later. The real treasures are right in front of us!" Ye Wei winked and smiled, his eyes, glowing with a faint golden light, looked at Lu Zhao, then past the floating illusions, and landed on the four massive crystal pillars behind the crystal jade wall.

"Follow me, be careful of Lu Zhao’s divine scrolls!" Ye Wei, without explaining, hurriedly said to Hong Xun and Xue Yao beside him, then rushed into the portal of the crystal jade wall.

"Real treasures?" Hong Xun and Xue Yao’s eyes lit up. They exchanged a glance, followed Ye Wei’s gaze, looked at the four massive crystal pillars, and followed Ye Wei without hesitation.
