"Damn it!" Zhou Lu got up from the ground, cursed, and threw a fierce punch at a large tree beside him. "Bang!" The big tree snapped in half and fell to the ground with a crash. Soon, Long Yan and Luo Er rushed over, and the three old men gathered to discuss how to deal with Li Xiaoyao. Luo Er said, "We should first find a place to hide, so as not to be discovered by that kid. Who knows where that kid got such a powerful sniper rifle from? Although it can't kill us, the bullets are strong enough to injure us." The other two nodded in agreement, "Mhm, that's what we should do." The three of them found a mountain cave, which was originally the lair of a Great Strength Demon Ape from the Spirit Cultivation Realm. As the Great Strength Demon Ape saw the three humans break in, it beat its chest and roared, commanding a group of Demon Beasts, only to be killed by the three men in a few short moments. Seeing how powerful the trio was, the Great Strength Demon Ape turned and fled, and the three men didn't bother to chase after it. Having taken over the lair, the three started to discuss their strategy. "I think the best plan right now is to locate this little bastard first, and then we three should surround him from three different directions and take him out in one fell swoop!" Zhou Lu said. "Zhou Dao-friend makes sense, I think so too," the two men agreed, nodding. Outside the cave, a figure quietly appeared, and it was Li Xiaoyao. Li Xiaoyao stood outside the cave, looking at the Demon Beast corpses scattered around the cave, and shook his head slightly. What a waste, these Demon Beast corpses, if completely consumed, are extremely beneficial for cultivation. Li Xiaoyao waved his hand, collecting more than a dozen Demon Beast corpses into his Storage Ring, and then purchased an ultra-modern weapon from the System. Looking at the object the size of a chicken egg in his palm, Li Xiaoyao's mouth curled up with an expectant smile. This chicken-egg-sized object was a miniature nuclear grenade. That's right, a grenade. The power of this grenade was such that it could flatten all life within a radius of about one hundred and fifty meters. However, the description of the grenade said this: Within a hundred and fifty meters, Cultivators from the Spirit Cultivation Realm would be annihilated; within fifty meters, Cultivators below the Golden Core Realm would be completely destroyed. In other words, those with a cultivation level above the Golden Core Realm would not be killed. If they can't be killed, at least they could be injured and left in a sorry state. "You three old undying, hiding inside like rats, feeling comfortable, aren't you?" Li Xiaoyao suddenly shouted loudly. The three men inside the cave changed their expressions instantly. Zhou Lu stood up, ready to rush out, but was held back by Long Yan, "Don't act impulsively, that kid is probably trying to lure us out on purpose." Luo Er also said, "It must be so, that kid must have set up an ambush outside, just waiting for us to show our faces. We must not do as he wishes." Zhou Lu said angrily, "Are we just going to keep hiding in here?" Long Yan and Luo Er exchanged glances, unsure of how to respond. If Li Xiaoyao really was ambushed outside, going out now would be suicidal, yet not going out and continuing to huddle in the cave was an insult to their status. As the three were in a dilemma, suddenly something was thrown in, hit the ground, and rolled to their feet propelled by its inertia. Zhou Lu looked curiously at the round object on the ground and mumbled to himself, "What is this?" Long Yan snorted and said, "This kid wants to throw stones at us, deliberately using this method to anger us, to make us lose our reason and rush out." Luo Er looked at him with admiration, "Dragon Dao-friend is indeed impressive, to see through the little bastard's purpose at a glance." Long Yan stroked his beard with satisfaction, saying, "This little bastard's tricks are all leftovers from this old man..." "Boom!" Before he could finish his sentence, a terrifying burst of energy suddenly erupted from that inconspicuous circular stone on the ground, and the entire cave collapsed in an instant. Waves of scorching heat swept out continuously from the stone, engulfing everything within ten meters and destroying it in a flash. The trio paused for half a second before reacting, and immediately shouted, "Run for it!" The three ran frantically towards the entrance of the cave, but the miniature nuclear grenade released not only destructive energy. During its fusion, it also emitted a tremendous suction force, dragging their bodies and slowing their pace. "What on earth is this damn thing?" The three roared in fury, desperately sprinting towards the cave's exit, eager to escape this hazardous zone. Li Xiaoyao, perched with a sniper rifle about two hundred meters outside the cave entrance on a large tree, could clearly see through the optical sight that the mountain cave was collapsing at an alarmingly fast rate. "Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!" Three figures dashed out of the cave, covered in dust, their hair and beards matted with mud and ash, their faces barely hiding their fear, looking utterly disheveled. "You little bastard, this old man..." "Bang!" Zhou Lu couldn't finish his sentence before Li Xiaoyao fired his gun. The bullet hit him again, lifting his body into a beautiful arc, soaring high before crashing back down heavily. Although Long Yan and Luo Er were furious, they knew that in the Human Realm they would probably not be able to kill Li Xiaoyao; instead, they'd continue to suffer losses at his hands. "Let's go!" Long Yan made a split-second decision, turning and dashing towards the Human Realm's exit. Reluctantly grinding his teeth, Luo Er followed suit and chased after him. Watching the two escape, Li Xiaoyao let out a sigh of regret. Zhou Lu struggled to his feet, blood spurting continuously from his mouth, staining the front of his shirt red. "You little bastard, how dare you injure me like this?" he roared in anger several times, when suddenly he heard Luo Er's voice, "Old Zhou, get out first; we'll wait at the Human Realm exit and finish off this little bastard when he emerges!" Though Zhou Lu was reluctant, he knew that if he continued to tangle with Li Xiaoyao here, he would be the one worse off. "This old man doesn't believe you can hide here forever!" Zhou Lu dropped this phrase and turned to leave. Outside the Human Realm, people had already been waiting for almost two hours, yet no news had come from inside. Ye Yisheng approached the Li Family Clan members, asking with some worry, "Elder Li, could something have happened to Uncle Master Li?" Li Yiming managed a slight smile, saying, "No news now is the best news." Li Tu also said, "If Xiaoyao had really run into trouble, those three old bastards would have come out long ago. My guess is that the three old bastards have probably not found Xiaoyao. After all, the Human Realm is vast, and if Xiaoyao hides in one spot without making a sound, nobody could find him." "Look, someone's coming out!" Suddenly someone shouted, and all eyes immediately turned towards the entrance of the Human Realm, where a very noticeable fluctuation of spiritual energy was occurring. Three figures emerged from the Human Realm one after the other. Everyone looked closely and was momentarily shocked and speechless. The three people who emerged were the Guardians of the three major families who had entered the Human Realm earlier. However, their current appearance was quite disheveled. With unkempt hair and beards, their clothes either bloodstained or dusty with holes, their bedraggled appearance made everyone think they had seen wrong for a moment. After rubbing their eyes and confirming that they had indeed not been mistaken, they were all curious. What in the world had happened?
