If the five major forces joined hands, although Cangxuan City would suffer the least, there was no other option but to retreat.
"Hehe, Xue brother is decisive indeed!"
Jueming laughed heartily, "We martial artists defy the heavens with only one goal, to reach the pinnacle of martial arts. For this goal, even one's own son can be sacrificed, let alone outsiders."
Hearing this, everyone felt a chill in their hearts, thinking how unlucky it would be to be his son.
This was a tyrant who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals, regardless of sacrifice.
Xue Wudao might not entirely agree with his viewpoint, but since he had already come this far, he naturally would not retreat easily.
All he wanted was the World Demon Fruit.
In order to break through to the Heaven Saint Realm, he could give up anything, let alone a few late-stage Earth Saints under his command.
"Jueming, now that Cangxuan City has suffered the least losses, why don't our five forces join hands to kill Ao Lie and the others first?"
Xue Wudao turned around, his gaze towards Qin Chen and Ao Lie bursting with killing intent.
After using them, it was time to wrap things up.
Gu Liu Shen, Nifeng, and others exchanged a glance, their expressions uncertain, but soon they also smiled coldly, "That's a good idea."
Cangxuan City suffered the least, how could they be balanced in their hearts?
"Not good."
Ao Lie's heart tightened. How could he alone resist the combined forces of the five major powers?
Although Cangxuan City had no losses, the five major forces combined were still far beyond his Cangxuan City. Just the five peerless Earth Saints alone were not something he and Qin Chen could stop.
Is retreat the only option?
Buzz! At this moment, the pitch-black demon tree, after absorbing the essence and blood of many strong men, suddenly erupted with dazzling light. Faintly visible, there seemed to be several fruits appearing in the middle of the demon tree.
World Demon Fruit! Swish, Xue Wudao suddenly shot out, his figure flickering as he was the first to enter the center of this formation.
This was originally solid ground, but as the black demonic energy transformed into a giant tree, the central area also underwent huge changes, allowing passage without any hindrance.
"It's the World Demon Fruit!"
Everyone exclaimed, Xue Wudao must be heading for the fruit.
He must not be allowed to take it all for himself.
Everyone hurriedly chased after him. Although there was more than one World Demon Fruit, whoever obtained it was fortunate, and no one was willing to give it up.
Even Du Luoxin and others from the Soulfire Family couldn't hold back and immediately followed.
Swish swish swish! A large number of experts soared into the sky, like locusts, rushing towards the World Demon Tree.
"City Lord!"
The experts of Cangxuan City, seeing this scene, all looked towards Ao Lie, anxiously shouting.
Because Ao Lie had not moved.
Ao Lie's gaze was fiery, but the reason he hadn't moved was that Qin Chen hadn't moved either.
"City Lord!"
The other experts of Cangxuan City were extremely anxious. If the World Demon Fruit was snatched by people from these major forces, Cangxuan City would be finished.
"Don't move."
Ao Lie said coldly, his voice icy, suppressing everyone before looking at Qin Chen.
"Why aren't you chasing?"
Jueming, who also hadn't moved, frowned and said, watching Qin Chen and his group.
Qin Chen sneered, "You're not chasing, so why should we be in a hurry?"
Jueming laughed heartily, "Do you think you're very clever?"
"Jueming, what exactly are you up to?"
Ao Lie said coldly.
"Ao Lie, you're just a small city lord, yet you dare to shout in front of me?"
Jueming, who had been very gentle before, suddenly revealed his fangs, "Those people have already gone to their deaths, you may be smarter, but you'll only die a little later."
As expected, the plot was now revealed, and he once again showed his true colors.
"Hmph, no matter what you're up to, I'll capture you first."
Ao Lie snorted coldly, striking out with a roar to capture Jueming.
