Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"What utter bullshit about your prey!"

"That little bastard killed countless of my brothers and wreaked havoc in the Blood Oath Hall's treasury, making me lose all face. Today, I'm determined to kill him with my own hands to vent my hatred!"

Faced with Ji Rufeng's threat, Cui Gu's tone was extremely firm, showing no sign of backing down.

After all, he and his opponent were both among the three hall masters of the Tomb Raiders Sect, and their strengths were almost equal, both at the eighth level of the Body Refinement Realm. There was nothing for them to be afraid of.

In addition, Lu Feng is a traitor wanted by Sha Wuqiu, the leader of the Tomb Raiders Sect. If Lu Feng's head can be taken down, it will be a great achievement and the reward will be substantial.

Therefore, Cui Gu naturally did not want Ji Rufeng to steal this credit.

He was determined to get Lu Feng's head!

"Fatty Cui, this kid is nothing more than an ant at the third level of Body Refinement. Why do you need to take action yourself? Isn't that using a sledgehammer to crack a nut?"

Withdrawing his energy, Ji Rufeng probed again, his gaze now sinister.

As for Lu Feng, who was severely injured and unable to move, he was ignored.

After all, Lu Feng's bones were broken, he was covered in blood, and his breath was barely perceptible. He was practically dead and there was no way he could escape from under his nose.

Therefore, Ji Rufeng's primary enemy became Cui Gu, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

He couldn't let the other party ruin things.

The treasure bowl was already in his possession!

"I don't care what you say!"

Faced with Ji Rufeng's probing, Cui Gu waved his hand dismissively, his tone still arrogant, "Anyway, this kid's head is mine today. If you want to take it, then go ahead and try!"

"This fool doesn't seem to know the secret of the treasure bowl..."

"Hmph, this is truly heaven's help! Such a treasure of heaven and earth, if it were to fall into the hands of this fool, wouldn't it be a terrible waste?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Rufeng felt a weight lifted from his heart and secretly sneered.

At first, he was worried that the other party was also after the treasure basin. Now it seems that Cui Gu did not know the secret of the treasure basin and just wanted to kill Lu Feng to vent his anger and then take the latter's head back to claim the reward.

"Fatty Cui, since that's the case, how about we split it in half? You can have the boy's head, and I'll take the rest. What do you say?"

Ji Rufeng's gaze returned to Cui Gu, who was not far away.

"Hehe, I don't like fighting with others for food, I want it all...!"

Faced with Ji Rufeng's reminder, Cui Gu merely raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a disdainful smile, seemingly having no intention of dividing the spoils with the other party, but rather wanting to keep them all for himself.

"You, surnamed Cui, do you really think I'm afraid of you?!"

Seeing that the other party was not giving him any face, Ji Rufeng was furious and immediately took the initiative to attack Cui Gu, as if he had also reached the limit of his patience and no longer needed to endure!

"Well done!"

Faced with Ji Rufeng's sudden attack, Cui Gu also snorted coldly, immediately drew the gilded double hooks from his waist, and his Yuan Power surged forth as he met the attack head-on.

Although they were both members of the Tomb Raiders' Sect, they had a long-standing feud and had never gotten along.

As for why Ji Rufeng and Cui Gu were able to coexist peacefully without any conflict, it was entirely thanks to the mediation of Sha Wuqiu, the leader of the Tomb Raiders Sect. Otherwise, the two would have fought to the death long ago.

"Die!"

Cui Gu suddenly swung out his gilded double hooks, creating a series of whooshing sounds as if two golden chains were clamping down on Ji Rufeng's lower body.

The gilded double hooks in his hands were made of refined steel rock. Although they were not as good as true spiritual treasures, they were comparable to first-class weapons and had considerable destructive power.

"The wind sweeps away the remaining clouds!"

The gilded double hooks suddenly attacked, but Ji Rufeng stomped his feet on the ground and instantly leaped into the air to avoid the attack. At the same time, he twisted his body and kicked out dozens of powerful afterimages, creating waves of air. It seemed to be a martial art with considerable power.

Clang clang clang...!

A series of metallic clangs rang out, and countless afterimages of powerful winds vanished. The gilded double hooks were then flung away and stuck upside down in the ground.

Clearly, this clash between the two was once again a draw!

"These two guys actually started fighting...?"

At this moment, seeing Ji Rufeng and Cui Gu suddenly fighting amongst themselves, Lu Feng was both surprised and delighted.

After all, he is now in dire straits, and this dog-eat-dog situation between the two of them has undoubtedly given him a chance to escape.

"Damn it! My injuries are healing way too slowly...!"

While secretly observing the battle, Lu Feng tried to heal his injuries by circulating his internal energy, but his recovery speed was extremely slow, like a tortoise crawling through a hole, and the bloodstains on his wounds were still terrifying.

At this rate of recovery, it would take at least seven days and seven nights for his injuries to fully heal!

Ji Rufeng and Cui Gu, standing to the side, clearly wouldn't give him that chance.

Buzz!

Just as Lu Feng was at a loss, the treasure basin hidden in his bosom suddenly trembled, and then a strange ray of light suddenly surged out, instantly enveloping his entire body.

"This is... the aura of the Immortal-Nourishing Stone?"

The unexpected turn of events surprised Lu Feng slightly.

At that moment, he felt as if he were in a hot spring, warm and refreshing. At the same time, all the pores on his body were wide open, like a hungry baby greedily suckling at its mother's milk, absorbing all the pure energy from the treasure basin.

Not only that, Lu Feng's bloody wounds were healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he was back to normal in no time. In addition, his Yuan Power cultivation also broke through and stepped into the fourth level of Body Refinement Realm!

"Is this feedback from the Treasure Bowl...?"

Realizing that his injuries had almost completely healed and his dantian was once again full of power, Lu Feng clenched his right fist, a look of emotion on his face.

He never imagined that what he had once merely "fed" a magical stone into the treasure basin would now save his life.

"I see."

"The Immortal-Gathering Stone from last time wasn't completely absorbed by the Treasure Basin; some immortal energy remained. Now it's perfect for you, kid..."

At this moment, Gu Canyang's voice slowly came over, as if his soul power had just recovered.

"Ancient, you've finally shown yourself...!"

"If I had been any later, I would have truly died a horrible death!"

Upon hearing Gu Canyang's voice, Lu Feng could not hide his excitement.

After all, even if his cultivation level breaks through again, his chances of escaping this time from the combined attack of Ji Rufeng and Cui Gu are less than 10%, unless Gu Canyang personally takes action.

"Young man from the Lu family, don't get agitated. My soul power is not what it used to be and has not fully recovered. I can't handle these two guys right now. In the end, you'll have to rely on yourself..."

After coughing a few times, Gu Canyang said in a somewhat embarrassed tone.

Now he is just a remnant of his soul, and spends most of his time in slumber, relying on living as a parasite in the treasure basin to survive.

With his meager soul power, he was clearly no match for Ji Rufeng and Cui Gu, both at the eighth level of the Body Refinement Realm. The only help Gu Canyang could offer Lu Feng was his experience and knowledge accumulated over tens of thousands of years.

"No way!"

"Even you, sir, can't do anything about it?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng felt utterly devastated, and his face turned ashen.

If Gu Canyang is unable to make a move right now, wouldn't he still be doomed?

After all, with his mere fourth-level Body Refinement Realm cultivation, it would be incredibly difficult for him to fight two opponents and kill Ji Rufeng and Cui Gu, both at the eighth level of Body Refinement Realm.
