Chapter 683: Everyone Was Captured

ng could only be cultivated to the middle stage of Qi refining. In the past two years, he had also referred to several cultivation techniques obtained from the black-robed elder's storage bag, includi...This group of horsemen riding strange beasts numbered only four or five. There was no particularly strong magical aura emanating from them. However, the air they carried felt incredibly powerful.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Shao Zixia looked around in panic, her face full of despair. Suddenly, she saw Lu Xiaoteng and was like a drowning man seeing a life raft. She mustered the last of her strength to crawl towards Lu Xiaoteng from the messy grass, "Lu, Lu brother, save me."

The five horsemen each held spears and blunt weapons like maces, with black wood bows strapped to their backs. Their auras were strange yet powerful. Hearing Shao Zixia's cries for help, Lu Xia Tian didn't even need to consider joining the fray. The five half-naked horsemen charged in unison, three of them directly at Lu Xia Tian. Two others went to retrieve their bows from their backs, preventing Lu Xia Tian from simply flying away. Their cooperation was unusually seamless, clearly highly skilled in this kind of combat.

whoosh…

The other party took out two short spears from the pouch on the spirit beast's abdomen without a word and threw them directly at Lu Xia tian.

The first man, with an unusually robust physique, threw a short spear with immense power. Although it didn't resemble the fluctuations of magical power possessed by ordinary cultivators, it seemed like pure, unbridled force. However, compared to ordinary cultivators, he radiated a fierceness and sharpness that was more pronounced.

Lu Xia Tian directly drew out the Cracking Earth Blade, his blade flashing like a phantom as he slashed. The blade's shadow moved in sync.

With a clang, several short spears were chopped down by Lu Xia Tian one after another. Lu Xia Tian's body also flew backwards several tens of feet.

Such tremendous strength. Lü Xia Tian shook his somewhat numb wrists. Although he didn't use any other means, ever since he entered the Golden Core mid-stage, especially under the tempering of the ethereal sword energy within his body, the solidity and purity of his essence had already matched that of an average Golden Core late-stage cultivator. The only difference was in quantity, which he compensated for with his seventh-rank physical strength. Even these casual slashes he made possessed the power level of a normal Golden Core late-stage cultivator. The opponent's thrown spear carried such immense force; even after several blocks, Lü Xia Tian felt some strain. Especially that unusually burly man at the front, with prominent brow bones, whose strength was particularly formidable.

"Lu Dao-you, save me, I know the whereabouts of the Qiang Yingguo."

Although Lu Xia Tian showed some surprise on his face, Shao Zi Xia's expression was even more surprised, but it quickly turned into a strong joy. She knew the strength of these strange people very well, and she had personally experienced how difficult it was to block their short spears. Earlier, if it hadn't been for Yu Dong Bao saving her, she would have almost been severely injured by the short spear thrown by the other party. Lu Xia Tian could safely take over, which proved that his strength was a notch higher than hers. Although he might not be able to completely defeat these people, with the two of them working together, their chances of survival were undoubtedly greatly increased.

“In this situation, even if I wanted to stand by and do nothing, I couldn't.” Lu Xia Tian let out a wry smile, but there was also a hint of joy in his heart. Before encountering Jin Chang Dao, he had only speculated. He had been annoyed at being separated from Jin Chang Dao and the others, but unexpectedly, he ran into Shao Zi Xia again, and the other party even admitted to the matter of the Yin Ying Fruit.”

Those few strange men rapidly closed the distance with Lu Xiaoteng. Up close, they didn't throw javelins anymore, but brandished their weapons, striking at Lu Xiaoteng's vital points. The strongest among them wielded a spear like a living venomous snake, constantly swaying and directly aiming for Lu Xiaoteng's throat.

A tiger doesn't show its prowess unless provoked, I'm treated like a sick cat. Lu Xia Tian raised an eyebrow, directly summoning the Hun Zhan Yuan Zhu and swallowing the essence of a ninth-rank demon tiger. His aura surged, powerful strength filling his body.

A wild aura emanated from Lu Xiaottian's body, causing Shao Zixia's face to contort in astonishment. That wildness stood in stark contrast to Lu Xiaottian's somewhat delicate features and slender physique.

Lu XiaTian reached out with his bare hands to grab the sharp spearhead that Tuoba Hai was thrusting towards him.

Tuoba Haiyin's eyes were filled with murderous intent. To dare to treat him with such disdain, the only outcome was death. Tuoba Hai exerted his wrist, and the spear shot out like a dragon entering the sea, flashing past Lu Xiaoteng's hand, transforming into several spear shadows before targeting Lu Xiaoteng's throat.

No matter how Tuobahai changed, Lu Xiaoteng's face remained unmoved. He calmly reached into the flurry of spear shadows with his hands, swiftly grasping them. The armor on his hands appeared at a visible speed, directly grabbing Tuobahai's spear.

Tuoba Hai only felt his spear grasped by an iron clamp. He pulled with all his might, but the spear wouldn't budge. His face turned pale in alarm. This seemingly frail silver-haired cultivator was completely different from the other alien cultivators. He possessed such overwhelming strength. You see, those ordinary cultivators, although they had many bizarre methods and could control artifacts from a distance, were extremely disadvantaged in close combat. Before this, he had killed several of them. Perhaps that's why their methods were so strange, their combat power was strong, but their bodies were very weak. This was Tuoba Hai's understanding of these alien cultivators, but the silver-haired cultivator before him shattered Tuoba Hai's perception.

“Come down here!” Lu Xia Tian pulled with force and gave a light shout. The other party was no weakling, not inferior to a late-stage Jindan cultivator. However, under his use of the Soul Devouring Great Art, even the same amount of power reached an extremely terrifying level.

At Lü Xiaodai’s shout, Tuo Bái Hai was pulled down.

Boom boom...

In the distance, the heavy sounds of cavalry echoed. Lu Xia Tian didn't need to turn his head; his deputy spirit had already noticed that more than ten of these strange men were galloping towards them, shouting as they came.

Two of Tuoba Hai's clan members, seeing him fall behind, shouted and waved their wolf-tooth clubs towards Lu Xia Tian's head and waist. They aimed to force Lu Xia Tian to let go of Tuoba Hai. The two men exerted all their strength, a murderous aura surrounding them. This aura was somewhat weak, with the faint sound of beast roars within it. It seemed like some strange martial art, sounding similar to Di Kun's roar.

However, the strength of these two people was far behind Taibai Hai who led them. They were only at the early stage of Jindan realm. Lu Xia Tian casually swung his two swords. The immense force directly sent the two flying from the spiritual beast's back, soaring into the air and tumbling backward.

At this time, whether it was Tuo Ba Hai or the two tribal members following behind him, they were all looking at Lu Xia Tian in astonishment and disbelief. It seemed they didn't understand why Lu Xia Tian, who had just barely managed to withstand their joint attack, suddenly had such a significant increase in strength.

As for Shao Zixia, her mouth was wide open in surprise. Her face had been filled with excitement, but when she saw more than ten riders arrive from afar, two of them carrying two heads on their spears, and seeing Yu Dongbao and Huo Ying being imprisoned in a cage made of wooden bars, the excitement faded away. They were covered in blood, wearing iron shackles, and looked humiliated and helpless as they sat in the prisoner cart. there was no loss. Up to this point in his cultivation, Lu Xia Tian had put in an immeasurable amount of effort to improve his strength. In fact, not all his efforts were effective. For example, the...
