Xu Mubai took a look and saw that the streaks of light were actually several cultivators, all of whom were at the Nascent Soul stage.
Among the cultivators were a bald, blue-haired man, a half-bald old man in hemp clothing, a burly man in black armor, and a man dressed entirely in black.
These guys were all quite powerful. The bald man with blue hair was at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, the old man in hemp clothing was at the great perfection of the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, the man in black armor was at the peak of the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and the man in black clothes who was completely covered up was the weakest, at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but the magic weapon he used was extremely strange. It was a small red sword that kept releasing red and black mist, and it actually held its own against the others in the fight.
These people are enemies and are chasing a gourd.
The gourd was filled with incredibly pure spiritual energy, emitting a shimmering green light.
This gourd is clearly a rare and precious plant that has developed some intelligence; it can even grow legs and run on its own.
Although the gourd could run, its speed meant it should have been caught long ago. However, the few who wanted it weren't of one mind; each wanted to snatch it, and none would let the other succeed. Just as the gourd was about to touch the others, the rest immediately focused their attacks, allowing the gourd to escape.
Ayao stood on high ground, watching the gourd trailing a long blue ribbon as it shot towards them.
Just as the blue-haired man was about to catch up and reach for the gourd, the old man in hemp clothing flicked his cane, and the dead man's head on the cane released wisps of purple mist that struck the blue-haired man. The blue-haired man's hand was thrown off course, and he groaned in anger.
The blue-haired man's brother-in-law, the man in black armor, flicked out a red whip, which immediately wrapped around the green gourd. Overjoyed, he reached out to retract the whip. But the old man in hemp clothing and the man completely covered in black both slapped him without hesitation.
One green and one red, two enormous handprints sent the man in black armor flying.
They fought all the way, and suddenly the gourd flew to A Yao's side. A Yao reached out and grabbed the green gourd.
The green gourd immediately became docile in her hand. It didn't struggle at all. Ayao looked at the gourd, which was as green as jade with dark patterns on it, and it looked very beautiful.
The blue-haired man, the old man in hemp clothing, the man in armor, and the man in black who was completely covered up were all surprised by this situation. Now, all four of them were looking at A Yao and Xu Mubai.
Holding the jade gourd, A Yao's fair hands appeared as white as snow against its backdrop. The Nascent Soul cultivators, seeing her beautiful face and exceptional beauty, were all filled with lust. However, seeing that she was only in the early Nascent Soul stage and that there was a white-robed man in the late Nascent Soul stage beside her, they showed their wariness.
Xu Mubai is the young master of the Huanhua Sect, but this place is quite far from the Huanhua Sect.
The Ancient Realm is divided into three continents. Xu Mubai was born on the Mysterious Continent in the south of the Ancient Realm, and this place is already outside the territory of the Mysterious Continent. Although some people have heard of the reputation of the young master of the Huanhua Sect, no one here recognizes him. Although those few Nascent Soul cultivators do not know Xu Mubai, they are only at the late stage of Nascent Soul. In any case, they will be wary of him if they encounter him.
“Fellow Daoists, we four picked this gourd together. What are you planning to do?” the blue-haired man asked, his gaze toward A Yao quite lewd.
These four were originally enemies, but now that the gourd was in A Yao's hands, and seeing that Xu Mubai was beside her, and that she had two Nascent Soul cultivators with her, and that they were all alone, it was clear that one-on-one combat wouldn't work. So, without a word, an alliance was formed in an instant.
The four of them had gone to great lengths for this gourd, and they couldn't give up so easily.
If there had been only one person, they would have run away long ago.
However, they felt they had an advantage in a four-on-two situation.
Although the man was at the late-stage Nascent Soul realm, the female cultivator was only at the early-stage Nascent Soul realm. On their side, there was one mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator and one late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator at the late-stage Nascent Soul realm—two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, so they couldn't possibly lose.
These two must be from out of town. The female cultivator is so beautiful and has the cultivation level of Nascent Soul, it would be perfect to capture her and use her as a cultivation vessel.
"Just because you say it's yours doesn't mean it's yours. I really like this gourd," Ayao said with a light laugh.
"Is this fairy going to be an enemy of the four of us? She is very beautiful, and I like her very much too." The man in armor licked his lips, and his gaze toward A Yao became even more blatant. He was still lacking a Nascent Soul female cultivator to serve as a furnace to help him break through his bottleneck.
Xu Mubai was already furious when he saw the lewd looks the four men were giving A Yao. Hearing the armored man's provocative words, the man waved his folding fan, and countless wind blades appeared, instantly shooting towards the armored man.
The armored man was startled and immediately summoned an ancient bronze mirror. The mirror suddenly expanded, blocking Xu Mubai's wind blades. Then, he roared and charged towards Xu Mubai with a long spear. The other three rushed towards A Yao.
The old man in hemp clothing flashed in front of A Yao, reached out to grab her, and let out a strange, grating laugh.
A Yao was enveloped in spiritual light, which shot backward before she retreated.
The man, completely covered up, and the bald man with blue hair, one throwing punches that unleashed a barrage of poisonous insects, the other releasing a swarm of venomous creatures. These guys all thought Ah Yao was an easy target, so they wanted to take her down first.
Xu Mubai didn't know what level of cultivation A Yao possessed. Although he was fighting the armored man, his divine sense was constantly focused on A Yao, and he was worried as he watched her constantly dodging. Spiritual light swirled around him, and countless flower petals appeared around him, transforming into countless flower blades. These flower blades shot out towards the armored man relentlessly.
The moment the armored man blocked his way, Xu Mubai used his superb speed to instantly appear beside A Yao. He then sent the old man in hemp clothing, who was trying to ambush A Yao, flying with a single wave of his fan.
The man in black, completely covered up, pointed his finger at the small red sword in front of him. The red sword immediately emitted a bright red light, and then countless red longswords shot towards Xu Mubai.
With a flick of his folding fan, Xu Mubai caused the runes on the fan to light up, and golden runes were imprinted in mid-air, forming a powerful barrier that protected him and A Yao.
