Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled

Chapter 653 - 649: Even Together, You’re All Just Trash

The surrounding prodigies stood not far from Xia Feng, guarding against him suddenly breaking through the lines to snatch the Celestial Pill.

For a while, both sides remained in a stalemate, neither willing to make the first move and attract concentrated fire.

Finally, someone among the reclusive prodigies couldn’t hold back any longer and said, "You’ve killed so many of our reclusive prodigies, aren’t you afraid of us causing you trouble when we get out?"

Xia Feng raised his eyebrows slightly; he thought this person might say something substantial, but it turned out to be meaningless nonsense.

He sneered, "You reclusive tribes are truly overbearing. You were the ones who targeted us first, and you were the first to make a move. Now that we’ve fought back and injured your people, you suddenly bring up your clan elders?"

His eyes subtly glanced at the golden pillar of light behind everyone, the ominous feeling growing stronger.

"I never intended to cause any conflict with you. If you were to behave yourselves, I’m not one to kill indiscriminately."

"But some of the things you’ve done are indeed a bit shady. We were all transported here at the same time; who arrived any earlier than anyone else?"

"You act as if everything is already in your pocket, but aren’t you afraid the treasure will shatter your teeth?"

Tang Yunqi felt a bit embarrassed by Xia Feng’s words. They always considered themselves special, and at times, indeed carried an air of superiority when outside.

Now being called out by Xia Feng, many felt slightly warm on their faces, a bit embarrassed.

Xia Feng’s expression grew more serious as he added, "You all came a little later and might not know about what happened in the Celestial Pill Valley before."

"The Demon Race infiltrated the prodigies, using fake Celestial Pills to incite a great battle among everyone. Then, they used the corpses of prodigies to transform into Resentful Beasts, causing considerable trouble."

"The scene now is quite similar. You’d better be careful not to focus on me and give the Alien Race an opportunity."

The prodigy’s eyebrows furrowed for a moment but quickly relaxed and said, "You don’t need to try and scare us with words."

"Our tribe has records of such events; this just means the Celestial Pill is about to emerge. It’s not as sinister as you claim. Trying to scare us with such stories is rather naive."

Xia Feng’s expression turned colder, "Scare you?"

"I’m putting it plainly today. Even if all of you combined, you’re nothing but trash. You can’t even handle me. Now there’s only half of you left. Do I still need to scare you?"

When Xia Feng and the women made their move earlier, it was quite ruthless, resolving nearly half of the prodigies in a short time.

Although part of it was done by their own people, every move Xia Feng made was clean and efficient, leaving those watching him somewhat unnerved.

If those attacks landed on them, they probably couldn’t withstand them either.

So, even when Xia Feng called them trash now, their faces turned ashen, yet no one dared to attack him recklessly.

Lacking strength and confidence, they didn’t dare provoke him like this.

Xia Feng snorted lightly and was about to say something when faint wisps of resentment began to rise around the mountain wall.

Resentful Beasts emerged from the resentful aura, and even the corpses of the recently deceased prodigies on the ground gradually turned into various forms of Resentful Beasts.

Whether it was Xia Feng and the women or the reclusive prodigies standing nearby, they all gasped.

"How is this possible?"

"Everyone who came with us are people we know. It’s impossible for any Aliens to be hiding among us!"

As the prodigies spoke, they subtly cast their eyes toward Xia Feng.

The reclusive prodigies naturally knew each other well; to them, the only strangers were Xia Feng and the women.

Tang Yunqi noticed these subtle glances and immediately stood in front of Xia Feng, glaring back at the reclusive prodigies.

"What are you looking at? You may not know them, but I know them well. They’re all our own people; there’s no way an Alien could have infiltrated."

"Besides, don’t forget, the young man just reminded you about the Alien infiltration. If there really were a problem, would he say such a thing?"

The reclusive prodigies paused, no longer pursuing the topic, though they couldn’t help but harbor some suspicion.

Xia Feng cleared his throat, "Why quibble over these matters here when we could be dealing with these Resentful Beasts sooner."

"If the Demon and Nether Races emerge soon, we might encounter more complications."

This was a sensible statement, and the prodigies knew what was at stake, instantly setting aside their differences and launching attacks on the Resentful Beasts.

Xia Feng was the fiercest among them, solving the Resentful Beasts almost before they could get close to him.

Next were the women and Tang Yunqi, fighting with wide, broad strokes, dissipating a considerable amount of resentment in moments, making even the Resentful Beasts reluctant to approach them.

The other prodigies didn’t have such capabilities, or even if they did, they didn’t unleash them all at once.

Perhaps they feared that while attacking the Resentful Beasts, someone would backstab them.

Or they worried that, having exhausted too much energy dealing with the Resentful Beasts, they’d be weaker during the final contest for the Celestial Pill.

So, each protected their own patch, just ensuring they weren’t attacked, and no one fought desperately.

Xia Feng furrowed his brows; even at this point, the prodigies still showed no signs of unity, leaving him at a loss for words.

During their struggle with the Resentful Beasts, two strange chuckles emerged from the mountain wall.

Xia Feng watched as the Void was torn apart, and then a Demon and a Nether Race member emerged from it, scanning the prodigies before fixing their gaze on the Celestial Pill.

"We’ll gladly accept this Celestial Pill this time."

With a smile, the Demon reached for the Celestial Pill, causing Xia Feng’s heart to skip a beat. He quickly dealt with the Resentful Beasts beside him and swung the Heaven-Burying Sword at the Demon.

The reclusive prodigies also wanted to follow Xia Feng’s example, quickly withdrawing from combat to seize the Celestial Pill. However, they neither had Xia Feng’s formidable combat power nor had they properly engaged the Resentful Beasts before, unfamiliar with their attack power.

So, surprisingly, only Xia Feng managed to disengage from the battle and head toward the Celestial Pill.

The reclusive prodigies’ faces turned pale then flushed, their expressions tangled with indecision.

They didn’t want Xia Feng to get the Celestial Pill, nor did they want it to fall into the hands of the Aliens.

After some internal deliberation, they concluded that it was better for Xia Feng to have it than for it to be devoured by the Aliens, so they all began fighting with renewed vigor.
