Digging up spiritual roots and seizing blood? You scumbags, wait and tremble.

"Damn it, they must have used a speed-up talisman. They must be very rich."

Things like acceleration talismans are not cheap and are usually only used when escaping. However, Zhong Ran and others are using them now, which shows that they are not short of spirit stones.

"Hurry and chase after them."

The leader said this and quickened his pace.

Among them, five are at the Nascent Soul stage, and the remaining nine are at the Golden Core stage. They are also mercenaries who usually walk on the edge of a knife and have rich practical experience.

Their speed was not slow either. The five Yuanying realm cultivators were chasing faster, but those in the Jindan realm unconsciously fell behind.

Yun Tianyu's acceleration talisman gradually lost its effectiveness and his speed slowed down.

Zhong Ran and the others also slowed down: "There are only five Yuanying realm cultivators catching up. How about we fight it out?"

"Okay, quick decision."

These are not the pampered elders of the sect, but mercenaries who live on the edge of a knife. Every move they make is a killing move, and they are no different from assassins.

These people's actual combat capabilities should not be underestimated. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they must fight quickly and decisively.

"Cousin, protect yourself."

Zhong Ran gave instructions, and the four of them nodded at the same time and stopped.

The five men rushed forward quickly and were a little surprised when they noticed that they had stopped.

They had observed that the highest level of cultivation among these people was only the eighth level of Golden Core.

For young masters like this, no matter how powerful their genius is, they can only fight against opponents one or two levels higher. It is impossible for them to fight against opponents of a higher level.

"Kid, hand over the good stuff on you and I can spare your life." One person said disdainfully.

Zhong Yan rushed forward first, a broadsword appeared in his hand, and he chopped down on one of them on the head.

That person has reached the fourth level of Nascent Soul cultivation, and is considered to be the strongest among these people.

When the man saw that he had drawn his sword at him first, he immediately became furious and raised the big knife in his hand.

The sword and the broadsword collided with each other, making a loud bang.

Zhong Ran, Mu Jinning, and A Sheng also attacked at the same time, and A Sheng didn't even take out his sledgehammer.

These are all the initial and intermediate stages of the Nascent Soul, there is not even a high-level one, so he doesn't want to take the sledgehammer.

He was targeting a middle-aged man who was also tall. Although he was not as tall as him, he was the tallest among the few people and looked like a strong man.

The middle-aged man who was targeted by him was stunned at first, then he became furious, and a big axe appeared in his hand and chopped at his big hand.

The one Zhong Ran chose was a cultivator at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage. He had a goatee and a shrewd look on his thin face.

After Zhong Ran took action, he saw her cultivation level clearly and was immediately surprised.

"How dare you, a Qi Refining Level 8 person dare to confront me?"

Although there was contempt in his voice, he used 80% of his strength when he struck out.

This is their instinct. No matter how weak the opponent is, they will give it their all.

His palm met Zhong Ran's fist, and a strange and terrifying power suddenly emanated from the fist, very suddenly, as if it appeared out of nowhere.

This control over power stunned him.

Fortunately, he used 80% of his strength, otherwise this punch would have taken his life.

Although his life was not taken, he was forced to retreat several steps.

Zhong Ran followed closely, as fast as lightning.

He only felt a figure flash before his eyes, and then he was hit by a punch again, and the whole person retreated uncontrollably again.

As he retreated, he bumped into a big tree.

This is a collision of power, without any technique involved.

He didn't even have time to use his killing move before he saw the woman in purple rushing up again.

His pupils flickered slightly and he quickly moved to the side.

Just as he dodged, the big tree he had just hit suddenly split in half and then fell backwards.

Fallen leaves and dust were flying everywhere.

Zhong Ran pressed forward again. At this time, another fifth-level Nascent Soul cultivator who was standing nearby and watching also moved.

He attacked Zhong Ran with a spear in his hand, the tip of which flashed with golden light.

Zhong Ran was clearly only at the eighth level of Qi Refining, yet he was able to force the powerful Yuanying realm warriors to retreat again and again.

This talent and strength made them extremely fearful.

Such a genius should either be associated with or eliminated.

They are already on the opposite side of them, so it is impossible to interact with them. The only option is to eliminate them.

Zhong Ran dodged to the side to avoid his spear, and a green sword appeared in his hand, with a fiery red glow on it.

The red light and the golden light soon collided with each other, and the two men took two steps back at the same time.

The fifth-level Nascent Soul cultivator came to his senses and attacked Zhong Ran again.

The strong man on Zhong Yan's side had been crippled by him and killed with a sword. At this time, he looked around and rushed towards his sister.

Zhong Ran didn't feel it was difficult to deal with two people alone. If it was before, it might have been a bit difficult, but after she condensed another wood spirit, she felt that her strength had increased by more than two points.

Now with Zhong Yan joining in, the brother and sister quickly killed the two men.

At this time, Asheng and Mu Jinning also killed people.

The five of them would never have imagined in their dreams that they, five powerful Yuanying stage warriors, would die at the hands of four young men.

Moreover, among these young men, the strongest is only at the eighth level of the Golden Core.

The three of them quickly looted everything on them and then continued to move inside.

After they had gone far away, the powerful Jindan master behind them caught up with them.

When they saw the body lying on the ground, they felt a chill in their hearts.

"They must have guardians around them."

"Then what should we do? Should we chase after them?"

"Forget it, let's take their bodies back first and let the boss make the decision."

They put the bodies of the five people into the storage bag, did not dare to chase them in, and turned around and walked outside.

Realizing that they were no longer chasing them, Zhong Ran and the others relaxed a little.

"With five people dead, they definitely won't dare to catch up again, but when we come out, we have to be careful."

Mu Jinning looked around and analyzed, "They will definitely notify their experts to keep a close eye on us when we come out..."

Yun Tianyu whispered, "Didn't they say there would be a beast tide soon? By the time we get out, a lot of time will have passed. I think they will think we have died in the beast tide."

Several people looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

As expected of a former mercenary, his meticulousness is unmatched by ordinary people.

"Fortunately, my cousin is traveling with us, which makes us less worried."

He said embarrassedly: "Xiao Ran, please stop laughing at me."

With his strength, what help can he provide besides some experience as a mercenary?

The few of them stopped talking and continued on their way inside.

Although Lin Qianqian said that it was impossible for them to reach Heifengao before the beast tide, they still had to try.
