As they watched the man in black leave, Xiao Jiu and the others all fell into a state of shock. It was as if due to the scene from before, they were still unable to recover from it. The scene they saw before was too amazing.

Even the head of the Xiao family, Xiao Qian, probably didn't have the ability to make Demonic Beasts submit to him, right?

Then, the question arose.

Xiao Qian was at least at the peak of the Aurous Core stage. Based on this estimation, the strength of the man in black was much higher than that of the Golden Core stage.

He had probably only seen such a powerful existence when he was alive.

The black-clothed man left the Xiao family's camp and headed towards the Wu family's camp. However, when he arrived at the Wu Clan's camp, he found that the Wu Clan's camp was extremely peaceful. They didn't cause too much trouble, and instead left quietly.

It seemed that the test on the Wu Clan's side this time around wasn't as severe as the Xiao Clan's. The experts of the Wu Clan seemed to have already dealt with this wave of beasts.

After leaving the dancers' camp, the black clothed man headed in another direction. When he arrived at a valley, the black clothed man stopped his steps and walked into the valley after pausing for a while.

There was a lake in this valley, but the lake had frozen over at this time.

The black-clothed man took off his veil, revealing his slightly handsome face. If this person wasn't Xiao Jiu, then who else could it be?

He had returned to this place. The most dangerous place was the safest place. Several hours ago, he had attracted the attention of many forces by attracting the attention of the Dragon and Tiger Phenomenon. However, once this wave of intense attention had passed, he would descend into a situation where no one else was paying attention to him.

This was originally the most dangerous place, but now it was the safest place.

Xiao Jiu took off his black clothes, changed into a set of plain white clothes, found a flat rock, and laid down on it. After a day of hard work, he was able to rest comfortably, and his entire body felt extremely comfortable.

During the day, he carried a stone as he walked. His body was already exhausted, but because he took the elixir, he was able to temporarily rest. However, this sort of relaxation was only temporary.

He was just a mortal, and as a person who had just returned to his human body, he needed more rest. He didn't have much energy that he could waste.

Time flew. He did not know how much time had passed, but the second day had finally arrived.

His destination was the Flame Valley, but how big was the Forest of Divine Burial and how big was the Burning Fire Mountain? How difficult was it to reach the Flame Valley? At present, Xiao Jiu could only rely on his own strength to walk step by step towards the Flame Valley.

Although he had now recovered his normal physique, his requirement was that his physique must be strong, stronger than the average martial artist. To achieve this goal, there was only one way, and that was to train his body with the combination of cultivation and taking the spirit liquid.

But at this time, he no longer had any spiritual liquids.

In order for the Heaven Punisher Ancient Sword to produce spirit liquid, it had to devour treasures or beasts' cores.

However, right now, Xiao Jiu had no natural treasures on him, and even more so, no beast cores.

To be precise, he still had a beast core, which was obtained by killing the Shi family servants that were following him. It was just a beast core of a Stage One demon beast, but it was actually useless.

A beast core of a Rank 1 Demonic Beast, even if it was devoured by the ancient sword Tian Fa, would still be useless to him, as it was completely useless to him.

So now, obtaining a heavenly resource or acquiring a large number of demon beast cores had become his priority.

The current situation was that if one wanted to produce a drop of spirit liquid from the ancient sword, they would need at least three thousand-year-old blood ginseng or three hundred Rank One Demonic Beast cores.

What should he do now? Whether it was three thousand-year-old blood ginseng or three hundred Rank One Demonic Beast cores, he did not feel that it was easy to obtain.

He could only see and take one step at a time. Carrying a huge boulder on his back, Xiao Yu gradually walked towards the depths of the Blazing Mountain.

Because he had already regained his physical strength, the huge boulder he was carrying on his back now weighed almost 500 Jin. Ordinary warriors wouldn't have any difficulty lifting a huge rock weighing five hundred Jin.

However, if he were to carry such a huge boulder, it would be impossible for him to do so. He would be exhausted to death in just a few minutes, but at this moment … However, Xiao Jiu continued to silently persevere.

Previously, the weight on his back had only been 200 jins. But now, the next day, his weight had increased to 500 jins.

As Xiao Jiu was walking on the road, he naturally encountered many martial artists that had gone to the depths of the Blazing Mountain. Those martial artists all looked at Xiao Jiu as if he were a fool, feeling that he might be sick. He was actually running towards the Blazing Mountain with this piece of rock on his back.

Moreover, outside of this young man's muscular body, there didn't seem to be any fluctuation of mystical Qi on this young man's body. It was this young man that did not have any cultivation.

He had no cultivation, yet he was still heading towards the depths of the Blazing Mountain. Wasn't this courting death?

There were even many kind-hearted martial artists who reminded Xiao Jiu to take it with a smile as he proceeded forward.

After passing through the area where crowds of people flowed, Xiao Chen entered the area where there were many Demonic Beasts. Normally, the warriors would make way for them and go deeper into the Blazing Mountain, but Xiao Jiu did not choose to make a detour. Instead, he went straight through these places that were considered very dangerous by the others.

After passing through the place where the demon beasts roamed freely, there were almost no people around. At this moment, Xiao Jiu stopped and put down the huge boulder he was carrying.

If an ordinary person were to see Xiao Jiu's actions, they would definitely think that he had gone mad. In such a dangerous place, he actually didn't think about leaving and actually thought about resting here. This was simply insane!

After putting down the boulder on his back, Xiao Chen pulled out a handkerchief from somewhere and wiped the sweat off his forehead.

The Blazing Mountain was hot to begin with. The deeper they went, the hotter it became. At this time, Xiao Jiu was not exhausted, and his body was obviously feeling very good.

After wiping off the sweat on his forehead and body, he very naturally threw the handkerchief aside.

He turned around and looked into the distance, his brow slightly creased.

"You've followed me for so long, are you still not going to make a move?"

A trace of ridicule appeared on the corner of Xiao Jiu's mouth as he faintly smiled.

At that moment, a commotion broke out in the surrounding grass. There were about five or six people who had revealed themselves from a hidden place.

"You are the Shi family?"

Xiao Jiu saw that these people were all dressed in the same uniform, and that the uniform all had the word "Stone" embroidered on it, so he opened his mouth and spoke.

"That's right, we are members of the Shi family. Our young master wants your life. If you surrender now, we can leave you with an intact corpse!"

The leader was a burly man. This burly man had a knife scar on his face, making him look even more ferocious. He looked at Xiao Jiu with a cruel expression on his face.

"There were three members of the Shi family talking to me like that before, but now the grass on the grave is already 30 feet high!"

Seeing this, Xiao Jiu did not panic in the slightest. Instead, he gave a slight smile.

There were a total of five people here, the highest one was the scarred face, with a cultivation base at the first level of the Core Formation Stage, the rest was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, one was at the eighth level, and two were at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

"You're the one who killed them!"

Hearing Xiao Jiu's words, the scarred face of the scarred face trembled, and said with a sinister look.

"I think so. We've killed too many people in our lives to remember who was who! "

Xiao Jiu leaned his body against the boulder, and said this without a care.

"You are very arrogant, but you have no cultivation. I don't know how long you can be arrogant for. I don't know what you said about them killing you, but you must die today! "

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, everyone was infuriated. He was clearly just a piece of trash, yet his words were so bold and out of place. Upon saying those words, he gritted his teeth and prepared to make his move.

"Wait!"

At this moment, Xiao Jiu seemed to have thought of something and suddenly opened his mouth.

"What, are you afraid now? Do you want to kill yourself?"

The leader of the guards said with a taunting smile on his face.

"That's not it. I just want to know, did you guys bring any money with you when you came to kill me?"

Xiao Jiu shook his head and said. These words confused everyone in the Shi family. Why did killing you have anything to do with bringing money?

Was this young master Xiao Jiu a fool? It was one thing for their cultivation to be crippled, but was their brains also crippled?

"Bringing money and killing you even without taking it? Why are you asking this?"

The leading burly man looked at Xiao Jiu mockingly and said in a funny tone. He had experienced countless things in his life, but this was the first time he had ever seen someone like Xiao Jiu.

"No, I'm just short of money to spend. I want to find some after I kill all of you trash!"

Xiao Jiu faintly smiled, not caring in the slightest.

"Hahaha …" Could it be that the trash of the Xiao family wasn't only crippled by his body, but his brain as well? You're already dying, and you're still thinking about money. The question is, even if you get the money, do you have a life to spend it on? "

The burly man laughed out loud, then looked at Xiao Jiu ferociously and said.

Upon hearing Xiao Chen's words, the Shi family members could not help but burst into laughter. In this life or death situation, this trash of the Xiao family was actually able to ask such a question. He simply didn't know what to say!

"No, no, no, you're the ones who have no life to spend it on. You can rest in peace. I'll help you spend your money, as well as your wives and children. I'll take good care of them for you!"

Xiao Jiu shook his head and said meaningfully. He looked calm and collected, as if he was making fun of the people of the Shi family.

"You are courting death!"

Xiao Jiu's glib tongue and nonsense had thoroughly infuriated these Shi Clan disciples. Hearing this, the burly man suddenly stretched out his hand towards Xiao Jiu, grabbing him …
