"If you stop me, you'll die too!"
The Devil Monarch's injuries were too severe. Even if he managed to break out of the encirclement, he would not be able to escape. In desperation, he threw out all of his magical weapons and talismans at the Heavenly Bandits' experts.
The Heavenly Bandits had a large number of experts, making them easy targets.
Even though Xiao Lingyu had taken out all six Devil Suppressing Immortal Orbs, he was only able to block six of the Devil Monarch's attacks. The remaining two Devil Treasures and three Devil Talismans all exploded in the midst of the Heaven Smiting Bandit Group cultivators.
Rumbling explosions rang out nonstop as the twenty or so experts of the Heaven Smiting Bandit Group who were blocking the Devil Monarch's path were all killed on the spot in an instant.
At the same time, Xiao Lingyu's Chaotic Demonic Seal and Tuoba Honglai's Divine Talisman struck the Devil Monarch. It was unclear whether he was unable to dodge or did not want to. The Devil Monarch's body immediately exploded.
While Xiao Lingyu was lamenting the deaths of the Heavenly Bandits' experts and checking on the injuries of his brothers, Tuoba Honglai quickly arrived and put away the Devil Monarch's storage magical weapon.
After carefully inspecting the surroundings, Tuoba Honglai approached Xiao Lingyu. He clasped his fists and said politely, "Thank you for your help."
Xiao Lingyu's face was gloomy. He did not want the Heavenly Bandits' experts to suffer any injuries. It was not a good feeling to have things go against one's wishes. However, since they were out on an adventure, they had to be prepared to make sacrifices. Therefore, he could not complain. He only said indifferently, "Don't be so polite, Fellow Daoist. This is what we should do."
"The commotion here was too big. I'm afraid there will be more experts coming. Let's retreat as soon as possible."
Tuoba Honglai took the lead and flew away. He had no intention of giving the Heavenly Bandits experts time to rest.
Xiao Lingyu took out some better healing pills from his storage magical weapon and gave them to his injured brothers. Then, he led everyone away with Tuoba Honglai.
On the way back, it was also very peaceful. They did not encounter any accidents.
After returning to the temporary encampment on the White Bone Continent, Xiao Lingyu had originally planned to ask Tuoba Honglai for the other 70,000 magical crystals. However, Tuoba Honglai had chosen a secret room to cultivate in seclusion after returning, and Xiao Lingyu could not force his way in.
However, no one knew how long a Demonic Monarch would be in seclusion. After waiting for three months, all the cultivators in the Heavenly Bandits could not wait any longer.
"I think he's trying to play dirty. He doesn't want to pay us another 70,000 magic crystals," Xia Liang said angrily.
"If he wants to deny it, we can't do anything about it. We can't possibly risk our lives to fight a Demon Monarch over this, right? Moreover, this Demon Monarch is a formidable character," Zhu Jin said gloomily.
"Most importantly, he didn't say that he wouldn't give it to us. He just doesn't want to come out of seclusion. We can't wait any longer. If we force our way in, we'll look petty," Xu Zhen said helplessly.
"It's also because all the outsiders were killed that the news of the treasure being in his hands didn't spread. Otherwise, how could he be at ease in seclusion here?" Xia Liang added.
"If he dares to deny the 70,000 magical crystals, then there's no need for us to be courteous," Xiao Lingyu said with narrowed eyes.
If it weren't for the fact that more than twenty experts from the Heaven Smiting Bandit Group had died at the last moment, it would have been fine if Xiao Lingyu didn't want the seventy thousand magic crystals. However, the Heaven Smiting Bandit Group had also suffered heavy losses and only obtained thirty thousand magic crystals. There was no way he could be satisfied.
At that time, the Heavenly Bandits didn't have to suffer so many losses. It was only because Tuoba Honglai had asked the Heavenly Bandits for the magical crystals and didn't want to leave any trouble for himself in the future. Thus, he had asked the Heavenly Bandits to help stop the Demon Monarch, resulting in the deaths of more than 20 experts. This debt had to be settled with Tuoba Honglai.
After waiting for another three months, Xiao Lingyu saw that Tuoba Honglai still had no intention of coming out of seclusion. He couldn't bear it any longer. He walked to the door of Tuoba Honglai's secret room and touched the restriction on the door.
Not long after, Tuoba Honglai opened the door of the secret room with an obviously unhappy expression on his face.
"Fellow Daoist, our bandit group has been lingering on the White Bone Continent for too long. We can't wait any longer and are ready to leave the White Bone Continent immediately." Xiao Lingyu tried to be as polite as possible.
"Hehe, we're leaving. I still have to seclude myself for a while, so I won't see you off."
Tuoba Honglai smiled and cupped his hands. Then, he turned to close the door again.
"Fellow Daoist Tuoba …"
Xiao Lingyu pressed the door of the secret room and said, "We're about to leave the White Bone Continent. Shouldn't you give us the remaining 70,000 magical crystals …"
"Oh, that's right, I forgot about that!"
Tuoba Honglai patted his forehead and looked ashamed. Then, he said, "Actually, when I came here, I only had 30,000 magical crystals with me. Why don't I owe you the remaining 70,000 first? When I go back to get them, I'll give you the full amount."
Hearing this, Xiao Lingyu's originally kind expression immediately turned cold. He could no longer suppress his anger and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Tuoba Honglai had said that he would immediately give him the remaining 70,000 magical crystals after the matter was settled. But now, he said that he wanted to owe him. Obviously, he was trying to deny it. After all, who knew when they would meet again after this separation?
"I remember that the storage magic treasure of the Demon Monarch we killed in the end also fell into your hands. Don't tell me that he didn't have any magical crystals in his storage magic treasure?" Xiao Lingyu suppressed his anger and continued to ask.
"Him? He was a pauper. His storage magic treasure was full of junk and worthless. If you don't believe me, I can show you the storage magic treasure."
As Tuoba Honglai spoke, he took out a storage ring.
"Fellow Tuoba, let's not beat around the bush. Are you going to renege on your debt?" Xiao Lingyu was too lazy to beat around the bush and asked directly.
"Renege? How could I, Tuoba Honglai, do that? Fellow Daoist, please don't misunderstand. I only have 5,000 magical crystals left. At that time, in order to seek your help, I could only agree to your conditions … Why don't I give you these 5,000 magical crystals first? "
Tuoba Honglai had an innocent look on his face as he took out a storage pouch.
Xiao Lingyu received the storage pouch, and upon closer inspection, he discovered that there were exactly five thousand magic crystals in it.
"Fellow Daoist Tuoba, if you really don't have enough magical crystals, you can take out a few magic treasures, elixirs, or top-grade materials as compensation." Xiao Lingyu accepted the 5,000 magical crystals without hesitation and then suggested.
Tuoba Honglai's smiling expression immediately darkened. He did want to renege on his debt. He was prepared to renege on his debt, but he still took out another 5,000 magical crystals. However, he did not expect the other party to be so inconsiderate.
In Tuoba Honglai's opinion, these bandits might not dare to ask him for the 70,000 magical crystals. Even if they did, he could easily brush them off. However, this was not the case.
"Humph! I have carefully refined my magic treasures for many years. How can I sell them casually? "Tuoba Honglai snorted coldly.
"How can I lose the lives of my twenty brothers casually?" Xiao Lingyu asked in the same tone.
"Twenty lowly lives are nothing to be regretted. You spent a lot of time on this mission and did not put in much effort. 30,000 magical crystals is enough," Tuoba Honglai said disdainfully.
"Your Excellency even wants to renege on the promised commission. I don't think you are any nobler than us bandits. There's no point in talking nonsense. Just tell me, are you going to give us the 70,000 magical crystals or not? "Xiao Lingyu asked impatiently.
"I just said that I only have 5,000 magical crystals left," Tuoba Honglai said lazily.
"So you're not going to give it to us?" Xiao Lingyu asked again.
"No, how can I give it to you?" Tuoba Honglai said, spreading out his hands.
"Then you can rest assured and cultivate in seclusion here."
Having said that, Xiao Lingyu flicked his sleeves and left. Then, he gathered the Heavenly Bandits' cultivators and left the temporary encampment together.
Just as Tuoba Honlai was feeling complacent about the fact that he had saved 70,000 Magic Crystals, a powerful aura suddenly fell on his head. His expression changed drastically. He shouted and summoned a magic weapon in the shape of a black cloth to protect his head.
Boom!
The black cloth had just flown into the air when it was blasted down. However, it still managed to block the attack.
Tuoba Honglai leaped into the air and flew into the air above the temporary encampment. He was shocked to find that the Heavenly Bandits, who were about to leave, had lined up neatly in front of him. They looked as if they were united against a common enemy.
"How dare you! How dare you …"
Before Tuoba Honglai could finish his words, the Heavenly Bandits' cultivators launched another attack at him.
Even though Tuoba Honglai was a Demon Monarch, he didn't dare to take the attacks of so many bandits head-on. After all, there were many mystical demons and spirit demons among the bandits. He could only dodge the energy beam shot out by the countless bandits.
"Since you want to die, then don't be so ruthless as a monster!"
With a thought, Tuoba Honglai's five-colored jade talisman appeared in his hand.
Xiao Lingyu knew that the five-colored jade talisman in his opponent's hand was a Divine Talisman. It could emit a powerful divine light attack.
Since he knew this, Xiao Lingyu naturally would not be unprepared. The Silver Moon Broken Blade appeared in his hand and began to shine with chaotic magical light.
Divine Talismans were only used to store and emit divine power. They were not divine weapons and did not have the power of real divine weapons. However, the Silver Moon Broken Blade was a divine weapon, and a high-grade one at that.
Whoosh!
A five-colored divine light shot out from Tuoba Honglai's hand. With an unparalleled momentum, it surged through the space of the Demonic Realm and whistled through the air.
Whoosh!
With a phoenix cry, a colorful firebird flew out from the Silver Moon Broken Blade. It circled in the air for a moment before flapping its wings to meet the five-colored divine light.
The Five-colored Divine Light and the Five-colored Firebird collided in an instant. All the brilliance between heaven and earth was immediately covered by the brilliant and colorful flowing light. Streams of colorful flowing light sputtered in all directions, and a powerful aura shock wave shook the space of the Demon Realm violently like boiling water.
Xiao Lingyu did not hesitate. He immediately ordered everyone to launch a collective attack on Tuoba Honglai while he continued to pour power into the Silver Moon Broken Blade and silently operated the Phaseless Gigantic Demonic Technique.
