Chapter 686: New Level of Respect; Sharing the Booty

The Golden Savage Ox struggled free and regained its freedom.

“Ka ca!”

Just as the Golden Savage Ox was about to start its ma.s.sacre, Xiao Chen’s dense and pure three-hundred-meter-long Return of the Azure Dragon landed. Blood instantly spurted out like a fountain, drenching Xiao Chen’s white robes red.

A gigantic ox head flew into the air. Its eyes were opened wide with outrage as it died.

The person who launched the sword light saw this incredible scene the moment he turned around. He felt as though his brain had short-circuited. A moment ago, the team had been in a dangerous situation. However, he had just turned away for an instant, and the Golden Savage Ox was dead.

Hu Hai recovered his wits and roared angrily. Then, he sent an ax strike at the swordsman. The swordsman blocked in a frenzy and fled in a sorry state after Hu Hai knocked him back.

Hu Hai felt a bone-deep hatred for this person, so he did not want to let him off. His figure flashed as he quickly gave chase.

“Bang!”

The Savage Golden Ox’s corpse crashed to the ground with a loud sound. The ground trembled violently for a while before gradually calming down.

The landscape of the bottle-gourd-shaped valley had already been completely destroyed. Deep pits and crevices filled the place, the walls around the valley crumbled.

As the wind blew from the valley entrance, the dilapidated valley fell quiet.

Jun Si and the other two had just escaped the jaws of death. When they looked at the Savage Golden Ox’s corpse and Xiao Chen in his bloodstained white robes, their eyes filled with amazement. The insignificant inner sect disciple Xiao Chen had shocked them once again with his prodigious efforts to avert this desperate crisis.

Xiao Chen had used his physical body to clash with the enemy earlier. His astonis.h.i.+ng performance then led the true inheritors to forget that he was a bladesman. Only when Xiao Chen drew his saber did they understand that, when compared to his physical body and close combat techniques, his Saber Techniques were still better.

At this moment, the true inheritors finally appreciated that, although Xiao Chen’s cultivation was low and his combat prowess was lower than theirs, he was not that much weaker than them.

“Junior Brother Xiao Chen, we really have to thank you this time.”

Without dwelling on this, Jun Si went to the Golden Savage Ox and pulled out her weapon as she spoke to Xiao Chen.

Chen Xiao laughed loudly and said, “How can the person I recommended disappoint everyone? Let’s rest and wait for Senior Brother Hu to return first. Then we can split this Golden Savage Ox; the entirety of this fellow is a treasure.”

Only w.a.n.g Cheng did not say anything. He glanced at Xiao Chen, suspecting that when they exchanged blows previously, Xiao Chen had not used his full power.

Xiao Chen knew that after he revealed his true strength, it would be hard to avoid people treating him as a compet.i.tor. However, as the situation had been urgent, he did not care too much about this risk. Thus, he did not regret his decision.

One hour later:

“d.a.m.n it! I still let that fellow escape in the end!”

A strong wind blew, and Hu Hai’s figure arrived before everyone from the valley entrance. However, he had a smile on his face; he did not seem dispirited at all.

Then, Hu Hai walked over to Xiao Chen and patted Xiao Chen’s shoulder heavily. Smiling, he said, “Firstly, you managed to save my life; you saved everybody’s lives.

“Then, you helped us gain the rights to enter the Savage Battlefield. Thirty percent of the spoils will go to you, and you get the first pick. Everyone has no objections, right?”

Jun Si smiled and said, “I do not have a problem with that.”

Chen Xiao did not seem to mind as he added, “I don’t, either. In fact, that should be the case. In both crucial moments, he was the one who saved the day.”

When w.a.n.g Cheng saw this, he shook his head to indicate he also did not have a problem with the allocation.

The Savage Golden Ox had the bloodline of an ancient Savage Beast. Furthermore, it was a peak Rank 8 Spirit Beast. Its entire body was a treasure.

Naturally, the most precious thing would be the Spirit Core. There was not much to say about its effect; it could directly increase a cultivator’s cultivation. Furthermore, it would not have any side effects—making it better than a Rank 9 Medicinal Pill.

Next up would be the pair of golden horns on the Golden Savage Ox’s head. These golden horns were tougher than Frost Iron and could be molded into high-ranked Spirit Weapons. It could also be ground into a powder for refining peak grade Medicinal Pills.

The four golden hooves at the ends of its legs were relatively precious as well. They contained a special flame and were a material necessary for making some Secret Treasures.

The marrow hidden in the Golden Savage Ox’s spine contained a dense Savage Beast’s bloodline. It was beneficial for someone who tempered the body.

Then, there was the ten-meter-long tail. After refining it a little, it would turn into a Golden Ox Tail Whip, which could be sold for a sky-high price to cultivators who used whips.

Aside from these, there were still the ox hide, bones, tendon, meat, and blood. Even though their value could not be compared to the parts mentioned above, they still had significant value.

Four hours later, Hu Hai finished dissecting the Golden Savage Ox’s corpse. He picked up a golden ox horn and put it away to serve as proof of completion for First Senior Sister Shui Lingling.

Then, he pointed at the more valuable parts and said to Xiao Chen, “Junior Brother Xiao, go ahead and take your pick. You can take two.”

The golden horn, Spirit Core, golden hooves, golden ox tail, and the Savage Beast’s bloodline, all of these items were worth cities on their own. All of them tempted Xiao Chen.

However, Xiao Chen could only pick two. So he had to make his choice very carefully. First, he eliminated the most valuable item, the Golden Savage Ox’s Spirit Core.
