Chapter - 1053 Surrounded by Enemies
"Bro Bei! There's no need to think anymore! Let's split now! We'll be dead when the Xiuhcoatl King arrives!" Qie Loulan cautioned. "Back then, when it attacked me, it was just a monster with pinnacle phase of True Nirvana cultivation but after so long, its cultivation has probably reached later phase of Celestial cultivation! He will turn into a terrifying foe once it activates its talent!"
"Chen Xiaobei! Let's go! We can come back when my True Qi recovers!" Phantom Rain urged.
"No! Even if your True Qi is recovered, we won't be able to return!" Qie Loulan said, "Even if you are perfectly healed and recovered, you will never be able to defeat the Xiuhcoatl King!"
"I…"
Phantom Rain flinched but did not argue against Qie Loulan's statement.
If the Xiuhcoatl King had reached later phase of Celestial cultivation, its combat power could reach up to 110,000. Combined with that god-defying special ability they had, Phantom Rain would only become the victim of their torture!
Rumble… Rumble…
From afar, the earth quaked and the dust on the ground filled the air.
The Xiuhcoatl King was aroused and he was going to avenge his offspring!
Ssss… Ssss…
The knot of Xiuhcoatls lowered their heads meekly, welcoming the presence of their king.
"Let's go…"
Chen Xiaobei submitted. While he was unwilling, retreating was the safest, most pacific decision.
"Chen Xiaobei! Where do you think you're going? Get ready to surrender!"
A voice came from behind where five silhouettes were storming toward Chen Xiaobei.
"Huh?!"
Chen Xiabei's exploded in anger the moment he saw them.
He recognized all five of them—they were Nikkawa Uchu and the four Enigmatic Ninjas.
But Chen Xiaobei's anger was not directed at them.
He turned his gaze towards Phantom Rain, his eyes ablaze, and said in a frosty tone, "I gave you the Hundred Herbs Potion! I risked my life to fight these creatures and you sold me out?! How could you be so cold-blooded?"
"I… I did not…" Phantom Rain said innocently, "I don't know how they were able to find us here…"
"Save it!" Chen Xiaobei cut her off. His eyes darkened, and said with an edge in his voice, "Since you're here, let's finish this!"
He had not wanted to start a war with his enemies but Phantom Rain's betrayal infuriated him. And now, he had decided to settle it once and for all!
"Bro Bei! Are you going to fight them?" Qie Loulan asked anxiously.
Right now, they were in a precarious situation. One wrong move and they would be eternally doomed.
"Bring me to the treasury first!" Chen Xiaobei was pissed but his managed to keep his head level.
Even with his trump card and resources, Chen Xiaobei might not have a guaranteed win.
If he had all the 10,000 Spiritual Stones, then the chances of him winning would triple.
"There's no way… We can't possibly go any deeper into this area…"
Qie Loulan shook his head dejectedly.
They could not even move past the Xiuhcoatl horde. How were they supposed to get through the Xiuhcoatl King?
"If I say we can, we can!" Chen Xiaobei took out the Spirit Cage and ordered, "Go back. I'll let you out after I've made it past the Xiuhcoatl horde!"
"Er…"
Qie Loulan wavered, but he could clearly sense the unquestionable powerful presence on Chen Xiaobei. So, he said nothing more and returned to the spirit cage as he was instructed to.
"Chen Xiaobei! Don't do it! There's no way you can get through them!" Phantom Rain tried to dissuade him. "Come with me! That's the only option you have! I promise that I will not hurt you!"
"Next time when I capture you again, I will personally rip your clothes off!"
Chen Xiaobei was enraged. He stared daggers at Phantom Rain before he spun around and launched himself at the Xiuhcoatl horde!
"No!" Phantom Rain cried.
Why would Chen Xiaobei listen to her now?
"Master Phantom Rain, are you alright?" Green Dragon Enigmatic Ninja rushed to her side and asked, "How did you end up here with Chen Xiaobei?"
"I…" Phantom Rain pause remembering that she was still a member of the Tenshou. So, she pointed at the Golden Circlet on her head and said, "Chen Xiaobei tricked me. I had to follow him because of this thing!"
"But…" Green Dragon Enigmatic Ninja looked questioningly at her. "Why do you seem like you care very much for him?"
"Nonsense!" Phantom Rain denied. "Chen Xiaobei is our mission target! How could I not stop him when he is headed for death? I'm not concerned about his well-being! I'm just worried about our mission!"
"Yes! I understand! I will go after him!"
Green Dragon Enigmatic Ninja nodded understandingly.
Both Black Tortoise and White Tiger Enigmatic Ninja followed behind him, closing their distance to Chen Xiaobei.
"Hey, you little twat! Stand there!" Black Tortoise Enigmatic Ninja barked. "You killed all our men and escaped from my hands! This time, you won't be so lucky!"
"That's right!" White Tiger Enigmatic Ninja piled on. "This time, even if you grow a pair of wings, you won't be able to get away from us!"
The last time they intercepted Chen Xiaobei at Shallow Grass Hill, Phantom Rain sent Black Tortoise to fight with him and White Tiger to assist him.
In the end, more than a hundred of their men were struck dead by the Thunder Pool Tesseract that Chen Xiaobei initiated. But these two Enigmatic Ninjas were unharmed.
To them, that was the most humiliating battle ever.
If they do not redeem themselves today by capturing Chen Xiaobei, not only would they be punished, their names would also forever be stained.
That was why they were both so zealous to lay hold of Chen Xiaobei!
"You two, slow down! It looks like there's danger ahead!"
Phoenix Enigmatic Ninja and Nikkawa Uchu who were behind them saw the commotion ahead.
"Why should we be afraid when Chen Xiaobei is not?"
Black Tortoise and White Tiger Enigmatic Ninja continued to pursue Chen Xiaobei frantically.
Their cultivations were much higher than Chen Xiaobei's which meant they were much faster as well. They were getting closer and Chen Xiaobei was already within their attack range.
Whoop… Whoop…
Black Tortoise and White Tiger Enigmatic Ninja channeled True Kang to their bodies and triggered Water and Gold Celestial Events.
Roar!
Concurrently, ahead of Chen Xiaobei, the Xiuhcoatl King was also charging toward Chen Xiaobei!
At 300 meters away, the giant Xiuhcoatl King leaped, shocking everyone!
