"I came here with Conferred God King Ao Feng to hunt for treasures, so I had no intention of getting my hands on the Condensed Earth Essence.
Seeing that Ao Feng was also looking at him, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but feel a little awkward.
Even though he had thought of an excuse, he still couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
After all, he was the one at fault here.
Seeing that Zhang Xuan had admitted to it, Hu Xiao burst into laughter. "It seems like I've struck gold this time!"
"Hand over the Condensed Earth Essence obediently, and I'll spare your life!"
"I can't hand it over!" Zhang Xuan shook his head.
He had already absorbed the Condensed Earth Essence, so how was he supposed to hand it over?
"I'm only speaking nicely to you because I'm in a good mood today. Since you don't know what's good for you, I'll just kill you and get the Condensed Earth Essence!"
Seeing how Zhang Xuan didn't show the slightest hint of fear in the face of his threats, Hu Xiao burst into laughter.
Kacha!
A powerful shockwave rippled through the air as his palm strike swept across the area.
Seeing that Hu Xiao had made a move, the God King who had wanted to become Hu Xiao's attendant heaved a sigh of relief.
"You sure don't know your place. Do you really think that we're in the Firmament, where everyone abides by the rules?"
Instead of admitting defeat in the face of danger, he was still putting on an act. Wasn't he courting death?
Just as Hu Xiao was about to lose his life, the other party shook his head helplessly.
"What's the point? What's the point? "
Zhang Xuan sighed.
He had only met these God Kings by chance, and they were all hunting for treasures together. He didn't have a deep relationship with them, so he could have just turned a blind eye to it.
But to steal from him and even make a move on him, that was too much!
Zhang Xuan flicked his finger.
Huala!
The palm prints that filled the sky shattered like glass. Before Hu Xiao could react, he was already struck. Peng! He flew dozens of meters before crashing heavily onto the ground and vomiting mouthfuls of blood.
"Conferred God King Hu Xiao's attack was shattered with a single finger and sent flying?"
"What in the world happened?"
The surrounding Divine Kings' teeth were chattering, and they were filled with fear.
Even Ao Feng widened his dragon eyes and shivered. From a distance, he didn't look like a dragon at all. Instead, he looked like a cowardly python.
The fact that Zhang Xuan was able to move freely amidst the phantasmagoric spirits and break through the barrier to reach the Condensed Earth Essence was already a testament to his strength, but he could never have imagined that the other party would be so powerful!
Hu Xiao … Even if Zhang Xuan had been at his peak, it would have been difficult for him to defeat the other party. Yet, at this very moment, he couldn't even compare to an ant in front of the other party.
Wasn't he just a Deity King?
Struggling to his feet, Hu Xiao's eyes were bloodshot.
For a Conferred God King to be severely injured by an ordinary God King with a single finger … Had it been in the past, he would have never dared to imagine such a thing happening!
While the young man hadn't used his full strength, the fact that the young man was able to break his palm strike so easily proved that the young man was more powerful than the most powerful titled battle pet warriors he knew.
"Die!" With a roar, Hu Xiao's palm turned into a claw and pressed down again. The powerful force was like a mountain crushing down.
Zhang Xuan frowned as he stood on the spot, not bothering to retaliate at all.
Hu!
Before the palm strike could reach Hu Xiao, it dissipated in midair. Following which, a cold harrumph sounded. "I still have other matters to attend to, so I won't bicker with you today …"
Ripples appeared in the air as the ferocious Conferred God King swiftly flew into the distance. His silhouette was already on the verge of disappearing from sight.
Clearly, he had realized that the young man before him was not someone he could deal with with with his current strength. Thus, he turned around and fled.
In the Flooding Sea, the one who could preserve his life and obtain the treasure would be the victor. As for reputation, given his standing, who would dare to say anything about him after he left?
Besides, even if he dared to say anything, there had to be someone who would believe him!
"Zhang Shi …" Luo Qiqi was taken aback by the sight of Hu Xiao fleeing. Even though Zhang Xuan knew what Hu Xiao was up to, he didn't seem to care at all.
"It's fine if you want to leave. It's not like you're injured."
Knowing what Luo Qiqi was thinking, Zhang Xuan waved his hand casually.
His top priority now was to raise his cultivation and push for a breakthrough to the God Monarch realm. Ordinary Conferred God Kings were nothing to him anymore, so it wasn't worth wasting his time on them.
"But … Hu Xiao stole Conferred God King Ao Feng's treasure. If we can get it back, we might be able to resolve the previous awkwardness," Luo Qiqi said.
After spending so much time together, she knew what kind of person Hu Xiao was.
He was upright, reserved, resolute, and benevolent. He would never take too much from others.
The awkwardness earlier must have been due to him accidentally absorbing the Condensed Earth Essence.
It was indeed inconvenient for Zhang Xuan to face Ao Feng when nothing had happened. However, the other party had been robbed and beaten up. If he could exact vengeance for him and get the item back, he would be able to put an end to the matter. There was no need for him to feel embarrassed anymore.
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up upon hearing those words.
He had been so focused on how to convince Hu Xiao to accept him as his disciple that he had completely forgotten about this matter. Perhaps, he might not have to accept Hu Xiao as his disciple anymore …
That was close!
With such a thought in mind, Hu Xiao raised his head to take a look, only to see that Hu Xiao had already vanished without a trace.
"It's too late. He has already fled far away," Luo Qiqi said with a bitter smile.
Even though Conferred God Kings were unable to teleport, their speed was still on par with ordinary teleportation. Hu Xiao had already fled eight breaths ago, so it would be difficult for them to catch up to him.
"It's not too late at all …" Zhang Xuan shook his head as he suddenly raised his hand.
The space in front of him immediately caved in, as if layers of newspaper had been compressed together. The distance of several hundred li was suddenly stacked together, and it felt as if his arm had traveled several hundred li away.
"Ahh … Impossible!"
Hu Xiao cried in agony as he was pulled over and slammed heavily onto the ground.
Lying on the ground, Ao Feng's eyebrows twitched wildly.
Only a God Monarch would be able to pull off such a feat.
Could it be that the young man before him was not a God King but a God Monarch in disguise?
Hu Xiao was not the only one who had lost his mind.
He had thought that he had successfully escaped after flying for so long, but who could have thought that the young man would actually be able to grab him back so easily?
It was as easy as catching a mosquito.
Letting go of Hu Xiao, Zhang Xuan instructed calmly, "I just remembered that you can't leave yet. Return all of the treasures that you have stolen!"
As the Conferred God King of the Nine Skies and the soul energy that he had absorbed earlier, his soul had become so powerful that he could easily tear through space and teleport.
Even though Hu Xiao had fled a great distance away, he was still within the range of his soul. With just a thought, he would be able to grab him back easily.
This was not a difficult task at all.
"Yes …" Hu Xiao hurriedly nodded.
The fact that the young man before him was able to capture him so quickly while he was still on the run showed that he was no match for the young man before him.
Hu Xiao took out all of the treasures that he had stolen from the crowd and raised his head to look at Zhang Xuan. "Elder, may I leave now?"
He no longer dared to act haughtily before Zhang Xuan anymore.
"Leave all of your treasures behind," Zhang Xuan said.
Since he had already robbed Hu Xiao once, he might as well take all of his treasures with him.
Given how cunning Hu Xiao was, he should have quite a few treasures on him.
