Chapter 49: The Magical Beast’s Salutation!

Luo Xiaoman did not expect the Celestial Fruit to appear at this time. It really caught her by surprise.

“The Celestial Fruit is mine!” Wan Zitong yelled. Next, she decisively put away her long sword and rushed toward the Celestial Fruit.

The Celestial Fruit was more important than taking Luo Xiaoman’s life. It was the key factor in determining her success in breaking through the nine layers of Qi refinement. So, she had to get it at all costs.

Upon seeing Wan Zitong approaching the Celestial Fruit as swift as an arrow, anxiety gripped Luo Xiaoman. Without a second thought, she stepped onto the skateboard and chased after her.

She did not care about her own safety anymore. In any case, she could not let Wan Zitong succeed.

“Hmph, how foolish.” Wan Zitong squinted her eyes at Luo Xiaoman who was chasing after her. She wielded her sword to attack Luo Xiaoman.

Maneuvering her skateboard, Luo Xiaoman managed to dodge sideways.

At present, Wan Zitong was getting close to the Celestial Fruit. She could almost touch the fruit.

“Roar!” At this moment, the Icy Poisonous Scorpion made a vertical leap and landed in front of Wan Zitong.

What?!

Wan Zitong’s pupils shrank as she quickly stopped in her tracks. “Go away!”

“Hiss!” The Icy Poisonous Scorpion let out a roar, completely ignoring Wan Zitong.

“Oops! The time limit of the Seal of the Beast King is up.” Feeling scared, Wan Zitong hurriedly went into hiding.

Boom!

At the most critical moment, the Icy Poisonous Scorpion’s tail stinger stabbed at her previous location, creating a deep hole.

“Hoho!”

Before Wan Zitong could react, there were sounds of low roars around her. Not long after, countless Bai Hous, as well as a number of beasts from Bai Luo Mountain, surrounded her.

Upon witnessing the scene, Luo Xiaoman was horrified. The aura of the Celestial Fruit most likely attracted all these monsters.

If such were the case, not only Wan Zitong, but even she herself would not be able to capture the Celestial Fruit.

Wan Zitong’s eyes narrowed, knowing how bad the current situation was.

Suddenly, her gaze fell on Luo Xiaoman’s body. She immediately rushed over.

What was this woman up to? Feeling terrified, Luo Xiaoman instinctively hid herself by the side.

However, Wan Zitong was a ninth-level Qi cultivator. How could she, an ordinary person who could not cultivate, hide from her?

“Luo Xiaoman, I’ve changed my mind! I won’t kill you!” Wan Zitong grinned and cunningly said, “I want you to be the bait.”

She raised her hand to grab Luo Xiaoman before throwing her in the direction of the monsters. “Listen up, beasts. This little girl wants to take the Celestial Fruit. Quickly, kill her.”

“Wan Zitong, you monster!” Luo Xiaoman exclaimed. Her petite body marked a perfect parabola in midair as she fell toward the beasts waiting ahead.

For a moment, the beasts raised their heads. Their eyes, which flickered with a cold light, fell on Luo Xiaoman’s body.

Whoa, what a frightening salute.

Wan Zitong did not witness Luo Xiaoman’s tragic ending. She took advantage of this opportunity and quickly rushed toward the Celestial Fruit.

She squinted her eyes and greedily eyed the glowing Celestial Fruit. Before long, she raised her hand to grab it.

Suddenly, a white figure flew over and stood in front of her.

Bai Hou!?

Wan Zitong’s heart trembled. Were these beasts not attracted by Luo Xiaoman?

She looked back and saw Luo Xiaoman standing on the snow. Luo Xiaoman’s eyes were tightly closed, but she had a painful expression on her face.
