86: Chapter 86 Half a Step into the Sky! Greed, Struggle!

In Ningan, Inner City, inside the Burning Bone Beast Arena.

"What do you mean Lu Qingyun alone has taken the future leaders of the Six Great Families hostage, and even declared that whoever can kill him can take them away?"

"And what do you mean, six Peak Innate Realm powerhouses have already mobilized simultaneously, heading to the Outer City?"

After hearing his subordinate's report, Ning Xuanzhou instinctively picked his ear, thinking he had misheard.

But after confirming its authenticity again, Ning Xuanzhou could no longer sit still!

Yet after standing up, he sat back down, his brows tightly locked.

Because at this time, although he was anxious, he could not be reckless.

At the very least, he, a Sky-Walking Grandmaster, could not move!

Otherwise, the other families would inevitably make a move.

And without him overseeing the Inner City, things he would not be willing to accept would definitely happen.

But as for Lu Qingyun's side...

"Who else is free here at the Beast Arena?"

"Boss, there is only... Han Baxian left."

Upon hearing this name, Ning Xuanzhou frowned, a tall figure appearing in his mind.

He was strong, sure, but his personality...

Thinking of Lu Qingyun's personality, he rubbed his temples and said: "Can't worry about that much now, it has to be him."

"Notify him to go and reinforce Lu Qingyun. Tell him to restrain his temper and not go too far."

"Understood!!"

...

Outer City, Tingzhuxuan.

In the courtyard, several rows of green bamboo swayed slowly in the breeze.

A huge shadow loomed over them, and then a large hand grabbed them, snapping them off forcefully!

It was a bald man, nine feet tall with a tiger-like back and a bear-like waist.

His head was covered in scars from body tempering, and his bronze-colored skin shimmered with a metallic luster.

He wore heavy black iron armor, with a pair of octagonal purple-gold hammers hanging from his waist, and even standing still, he was enveloped in a thick, heavy aura.

The ground trembled slightly as he walked, his pressure condensed but unreleased, like a beast in human form. When he glared with those raised brows, it was enough to make one's heart stop from fear!

Snap—snap—!

A bamboo stalk the size of a bowl made a mournful, crisp sound in his mouth.

In a few bites, the entire stalk was swallowed into his stomach.

"What kind of damn place is this? It's so petty, not imposing at all!"

"If I had known I was coming to this Outer City place, I would have been better off sleeping comfortably at home!"

After spitting out the bamboo residue from his mouth, Han Baxian strode inside.

Throughout Tingzhuxuan, the attendants had long since fled.

Along the way, Han Baxian did not see anyone.

Until he reached the deepest part.

The corners of his mouth curled up, and he was amused!

"In this situation, am I early or late?"

Han Baxian had originally thought he was coming to collect the corpse for that kid named Lu Qingyun.

If those people were still there, at most he would just be avenging him.

But unexpectedly, the scene before him was eleven corpses lying neatly in a pool of blood!

Among them were quite a few of his old acquaintances.

To think they died at the hands of such a wet-behind-the-ears kid.

Originally, after confirming that Lu Qingyun was not in danger, Han Baxian should have just left.

But the problem was, his gaze... saw the Blood Red Vine on Lu Qingyun that had transformed into armor!

He was a body cultivator!

And a body cultivator who had reached the half-step supernatural level!

The Blood Red Vine, for a Physical-type Awakened, and for a hard-training martial artist or body cultivator like him, was absolutely a supreme treasure!

If he had possessed a Blood Red Vine during his weak period.

Growing with it until now, he would even dare to challenge the Yukong Realm!

A flash of burning desire appeared in Han Baxian's eyes.

Just then, Lu Qingyun seemed to sense it, turned his head, and glanced at him.

Tilting his head, he asked: "What's up, want to take me on?"

From the moment Han Baxian arrived, Lu Qingyun had sensed his presence.

However, he did not sense any malice.

Lu Qingyun just assumed he was sent by Ning Xuanzhou to reinforce him; after all, with such a big commotion, it was impossible for Ning Xuanzhou not to know.

It was just that he did not know the value of the Blood Red Vine on his body.

Nor did he know how much of a temptation this thing was for a body cultivator.

After all, in his eyes, the use of this thing was really not that great.

Every time it sucked him dry until he fainted, and its defensive capability couldn't even withstand his own blood ray blade; it was truly pathetic.

So he didn't bother to put it away.

He just didn't expect that this would actually trigger the greed of Han Baxian behind him!

"Attack, or..."

Han Baxian fell into a struggle.

As a half-step Yukong Realm expert, his strength was immense.

Even if Lu Qingyun had killed six Peak Innate Realm experts single-handedly, he was not afraid at all!

Because he could do it too, and could definitely do it even more easily than Lu Qingyun!

Therefore, if he really made a move, he had absolute confidence that he could snatch that Blood Red Vine from Lu Qingyun!

But after snatching it, the things that needed to be handled were even more worrying.

After all, he worked under Ning Xuanzhou, and this time he was supposed to come to reinforce Lu Qingyun. If he killed Lu Qingyun, although he could make an excuse that he was already dead before he arrived, and he could only avenge him with tears while picking up the dropped equipment.

But...

Han Baxian glanced at the six people not far away, who were reluctantly stripping the belongings from their own experts for Lu Qingyun.

These six people were a hot potato.

If he didn't kill them, his actions would definitely be spread by them.

But if he killed them, as the last survivor, he would definitely face the most severe retaliation!

For a Blood Red Vine, was it worth taking such a risk?
