283: Chapter 283 This guy knows his stuff!

However, heaven does not always grant one's wishes. Or rather, the situation of this chaotic melee had long since galloped off in an incredibly bizarre and absurd direction.

Just at the moment when that golden fireball was about to swallow Gou Fugui and Xiang Batian, "Clang!!!"

Accompanied by a terrifying sword chime that seemed capable of tearing through eardrums!

An incredibly heavy, jet-black sword qi phantom, resembling a deep-sea tsunami, descended abruptly from the sky. With a "boom," it struck the fireball squarely.

"Rumble!!!" Fire and the heavy water sword qi collided violently, erupting into a terrifying spiritual energy storm that uprooted all the trees for dozens of meters around!

"Who?!" Qin Zhuo was knocked back half a step by the shockwave, letting out a hysterical roar from behind her mask.

The dust settled.

A tall, slender figure in snow-white robes, carrying a heavy, bladeless sword on his back, stood as steadily as an insurmountable mountain, blocking the front of Gou Fugui and Xiang Batian.

It was Chu Tiankuo, the first team leader of the South Sea Martial Arts Academy, who had been chasing them all the way from the rocky battlefield!

Chu Tiankuo rested one hand on his heavy sword, looking at Qin Zhuo with an incredibly deep gaze that seemed to see through everything, and snorted coldly: "Captain Qin, we are all fellow practitioners, why must you eat alone?"

"To be able to make you and Captain Yan of Shushan chase them until now, this Chu also wants a share of the heaven-defying treasure on these two!"

"?????"

Qin Zhuo was stunned. Yan Qinghuan, who had just caught up from behind, was also stunned.

What heaven-defying treasure? What kind of nonsense are you talking about?!

I just purely wanted to kill that sharp-tongued keyboard warrior!

Yan Qinghuan was also completely bewildered: I just came for an explanation, who knew what kind of treasure they had on them?!

Looking at Chu Tiankuo who suddenly killed his way out, the anger in Qin Zhuo's mind completely blew her top.

"Share a piece of your grandpa's butt! You ignorant fool, since you want to protect this scum, then this lady will burn you together with him!!!"

Qin Zhuo completely lost her reason, and the Divine Phoenix Fire turned into a sky full of fire rain, directly dragging Chu Tiankuo and Yan Qinghuan into the battlefield together!

"Hmph! Want to silence witnesses and swallow the treasure alone? Keep dreaming!" Chu Tiankuo thought Qin Zhuo was embarrassed and angry because her thoughts were exposed, so he no longer held back, unleashing his full Deep Sea Sword Qi!

Although Yan Qinghuan was blind, he sensed Chu Tiankuo's entry and sneered: "Since Brother Chu of South Sea also wants to wade into these muddy waters, then this Yan will play with you all properly today!"

In an instant, three Peak Fourth-Order peerless geniuses, for a "heaven-defying treasure" that didn't even exist, were absurdly locked in a chaotic battle!

The heaven-destroying and earth-shattering commotion was practically tearing this forest apart!

On the edge of the battlefield, Xiang Batian, who had been blown away by the aftermath of Chu Tiankuo's sword qi, carried Gou Fugui and rolled several times on the ground before stopping.

"Phew... we survived! Batian, we survived!" Gou Fugui looked at the three top big shots fighting into a mess behind them, his tears streaming down in gratitude.

Just a moment ago, he had one foot in the gates of hell!

That handsome man in white using the heavy sword had actually descended from the sky at the most critical moment to block the female devil's fatal blow!

"Wuwuwu, Batian, did you see that! There are still many good people in this world!"

Gou Fugui wiped his tears and exclaimed in an incredibly cheeky way: "Earlier, the Shushan brother risked his life to cover our retreat, and now this Big Brother Chu from South Sea has risked his life to descend from the sky and take the blow for us!"

"This noble spirit of theirs, willing to go head-to-head with an SSS-rank powerhouse for the sake of total strangers... this is the true light of humanity!"

Xiang Batian was also a tough guy shedding tears: "Too touching! Fugui, let's quickly take advantage of Big Brother Chu holding them off and find a place to hide! We must not let their painstaking efforts go to waste!"

The two were moved to a mess and were just about to turn and continue their escape. Suddenly!

"Swish—!"

The solid ground under their feet transformed without warning into an incredibly soft patch of quicksand!

Following that, two incredibly powerful yellow sand tornadoes shot up into the sky, like two giant hands of sand, forcefully lifting Gou Fugui and Xiang Batian directly into mid-air!

"Holy crap! What's going on? Can we fly?" Xiang Batian was flailing in mid-air; his biomechanics had completely lost their effect in the face of this sky-filling yellow sand.

Just as the two were still shaken, countless fine yellow sand grains rapidly gathered and reorganized in the air before them. In just two seconds.

A figure wearing the Kuangsha Academy team uniform, with eyes as cruel and cold as a lone wolf, formed in front of them in an incredibly cool manner. The Desert Lone Wolf, Helan Que!

Helan Que stepped on the yellow sand, arms crossed, looking down from above at the two trapped in mid-air by the sandstorm. His sharp eyes flickered with intense greed and coldness.

He examined Gou Fugui and Xiang Batian with great amusement, his voice as harsh as sandpaper rubbing together: "To be able to make three first-team leaders fight so fiercely over you, it seems Chu Tiankuo guessed right. You really are carrying something extraordinary."

Helan Que slowly extended a hand wrapped in yellow sand, his tone chilling, filled with unquestionable murderous intent: "Hand over the treasure, and I will spare your lives. Otherwise, my Kuangsha can instantly grind you into meat paste!"

"Huh???" Gou Fugui and Xiang Batian hung in mid-air, staring at each other with wide eyes, countless giant question marks popping up in their brains. "Treasure?"

Gou Fugui was completely bewildered, frantically searching through his memories. What treasure? He hadn't even pulled a single blade of grass since entering this crappy secret realm, where would any heaven-defying treasure come from?!

Looking at Helan Que's incredibly serious posture of demanding it, and the fanaticism almost overflowing from his eyes. As the chief profiteer of Class F, the nerve in Gou Fugui's brain named "commercial acumen" suddenly and bizarrely misfired.

Wait a minute... This guy suddenly popped out and demanded treasure right off the bat?

And looking at his wild attire, he must be one of those guys who has suffered in the desert for years and hasn't seen much of the world!

The treasure he's talking about... could it mean... high-end daily necessities, or the second-hand goods I advertised at the opening ceremony?

"So that's it! He's a customer here to buy things!!!"

Gou Fugui's eyes, hidden behind gold-rimmed glasses, instantly lit up. The original fear was swept away, replaced by the extreme excitement of a profiteer seeing a fat sheep!

He even forgot that he was still hanging in mid-air, directly using that tiny bit of Third-Order spiritual power to skillfully open the storage ring on his finger!

"Clatter—!" In Helan Que's extremely stunned gaze, Gou Fugui enthusiastically pulled out a huge pile of scrap metal and colorful bottles and jars from his ring, holding them all in his arms.

"This brother! You know your stuff! You really know your stuff!"
