Ni Qiang, Xiao Heli, and King Meng Shan were stunned, unable to react. Feng Hao's words had completely plunged them into despair. So, they were just pawns used by Feng Hao.
"I'm right, aren't I?" Feng Hao slowly raised his head and looked at Li Kai, who had a devilish smile on his face. His eyes paused on the dark dagger for a moment before moving away. He said indifferently, "Perhaps your cultivation base has reached the level where you can even fight a mid-grade pagoda spirit alone, but because there are too many pagoda spirits, you have no choice but to find some scapegoats to help you."
"Li Kai, is this true?!" King Meng Shan was furious. His face was flushed, and his pupils seemed to be spewing fire. He and his companions had become someone else's pawns, and Li Kai was the one who reaped the benefits.
Li Kai still had the same smile on his face, but in the eyes of Ni Qiang and his companions, it looked a little strange. Li Kai licked his lips and said, "So what if it's true? What can you do to me?"
"Bastard!"
King Meng Shan's eyes turned red, and the gloves on his fists flickered with a cold light. He was about to rush forward and attack, but he stopped after taking just one step.
This was because the dagger that was resting on Niya's neck moved slightly, causing blood to seep out of Niya's fair skin.
"Tsk tsk, I told you not to move, or else this beauty will die." Li Kai tightened his grip slightly, staring at King Meng Shan and his companions.
"What do you want to do in order to let go of Niya?" Ni Qiang clenched his fists tightly, and his chest was heaving up and down. If not for Xiao Heli holding him back, he would have gone berserk.
"Hmph, no wonder you are so gullible. Can't you see the situation clearly?" Li Kai looked at the three contemptuously and said, "Hand over all the crystal cores you have."
With this, not only was King Meng Shan enraged, even Xiao Heli felt as if he was being insulted. He had been in the Hundred Races for so long, and he had never been fooled by anyone before. But now, he had failed miserably.
"Brother, don't worry about me. Just kill this bastard." Niya cried at Ni Qiang with tears in her eyes.
"Shut up. Otherwise, I don't mind leaving a mark on your pretty face." Li Kai sneered as he grabbed Niya's neck.
"Wu-Wu-Wu!"
Soon after, Niya's face turned incomparably red. Both of her hands continuously hammered Li Kai's arm. Under the other party's enormous strength, she felt as though she was suffocating.
"Niya."
Ni Qiang was even more furious. He could only watch helplessly as his sister was treated in such a manner. If looks could kill, Li Kai would have died a long time ago.
"Didn't you hear me? Hand over all your crystal cores! Don't think that I don't know that you fellows killed a mid-grade Tower Spirit not too long ago!" Li Kai shouted furiously.
Hearing this, King Meng Shan and the others were shocked. It seemed that Li Kai had been targeting them for a long time. The mid-grade Tower Spirit that he killed was in a secret cave, and he did not tell anyone about it, but Li Kai actually knew about it.
Everyone present knew the value of a mid-grade Tower Spirit's crystal core. Furthermore, there were two of them. It was no wonder that Li Kai would try to harm them.
Without any hesitation, King Meng Shan took out a mid-grade crystal core and said through clenched teeth, "I can give it to you, but what guarantee do you have that you won't hurt Niya?"
Looking at the mid-grade crystal core in King Meng Shan's hand, a look of greed emerged on Li Kai's face. In just a short while, he had obtained two mid-grade crystal cores without the slightest effort. He had definitely made a huge profit.
"You have no choice." Li Kai smiled sinisterly. Then, his gaze fell on the gloves around Feng Hao's wrist. The corner of his mouth cracked slightly as he said, "Hey, kid, I'm talking about you. Take off your gloves and give them to me as well."
"How dare you, Li Kai! You've gone too far! He is not with us. I'll give you the crystal cores you want. What else do you want?" King Meng Shan roared furiously.
Feng Hao was stunned. He did not expect that he would be involved in this. He immediately laughed and looked at Li Kai with a playful gaze.
"What are you laughing at? Hurry up and take off your gloves for me." Li Kai saw the smile on Feng Hao's face and felt uneasy for some reason. He immediately shouted.
"Brother Feng, don't mind him." Ni Qiang said with bloodshot eyes. His body was trembling, and he clenched his teeth tightly as he glared at Li Kai. The anger in his heart seemed like it would explode at any moment.
"Ah!"
At this moment, Niya cried out in panic. Because Li Kai had slightly tightened his grip on the dagger, more blood was dripping down the dagger, causing her face to turn even paler.
"It's none of your business. Shut up." Li Kai glared at Ni Qiang, and the smile on his face gradually turned ferocious. "Do you want to see your sister die?"
"Big brother, don't mind me. Don't give the mid-grade crystal cores to a despicable person like him." Niya cried. The four of them had come together to hunt the tower spirit, and she knew very well what kind of hardships they had gone through. She would never allow the fruits of their hard work to be taken away by this despicable person.
"Alright, alright. Since you want the gloves, I'll give them to you."
At this moment, Feng Hao sighed. Originally, he didn't want to get involved in this matter, but Li Kai's methods were too shameless. He actually used a girl to threaten them, and even more despicable was that he had set his sights on Feng Hao.
"Brother Feng, you …" Ni Qiang and the others looked at Feng Hao and didn't know what to say. Their cultivations were not weak, and they could naturally tell that Feng Hao's gloves were not ordinary items. They had only known Feng Hao for a day, but he actually agreed to use the gloves to save Niya.
Niya also stared blankly at Fenghao. He actually agreed. Was it worth it for an unrelated person? Moreover, she had made things difficult for him time and time again, and even looked down on him. Could it be that he really didn't mind?
Feng Hao strode forward and stopped in front of Li Kai. He smiled faintly and said, "If I give you the gloves, will you really let her go?"
When Li Kai saw Feng Hao agree so directly, he was also stunned for a moment. Then, he quickly reacted and smiled evilly, "That depends on whether you are willing to cooperate. Don't be so long-winded, hand over the gloves."
When Li Kai said this, he paused for a moment. Then, as if he thought of something, he turned to Ni Qiang and the others and said, "And you guys, hand over your weapons."
The smile on Fenghao's face grew even wider when he heard Li Kai's words. It was indeed as he had guessed. This time around, Li Kai was not simply using them as scapegoats. It was likely that he was plotting something else.
