Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 789 Scapegoat

Zhu Zhiben being able to perform the sacrifice for the second time showed that his martial arts talent was indeed not bad, and he had the chance to ascend to Saintly Position in the future.

However, compared to Yin Xinran, who was also a second-time sacrificer, his combat power was much inferior.

If even Yin Xinran could only come to a standstill with Shi Hao, what virtue and ability did Zhu Zhiben possess to contend with Shi Hao?

With a single strike, he staggered back.

Shi Hao didn’t even bother with him and turned his head towards the Purple Gold Rat, "Mouse, hurry up, your old man could come back at any time!"

The face of the Purple Gold Rat darkened, ’I’m just playing along with you to make a fool out of Zhu Zhiben, this idiot, and you’re addicted now?’

But its speed noticeably increased; after all, if the Silver Mouse did return, even if they had the Immortal Abode to save their lives, they would be trapped here.

Ignoring me?

Zhu Zhiben was furious. Shi Hao had gained a huge advantage with one strike but did not pursue the victory. How disdainful was this of him?

But he wasn’t stupid and immediately realized that this so-called "child of the Silver Mouse" was fake as hell.

It just so happened that the thief was also a mouse, nothing more.

"Dammit!" Zhu Zhiben roared and charged at Shi Hao again, trying to stop him and the Purple Gold Rat from continuing to take the treasures.

This was all Zhu Family’s; how could it fall into your hands so easily?

Shi Hao, with a casual punch, blasted Zhu Zhiben back once more.

When it came to combat power, Shi Hao was now able to easily suppress those at the second sacrifice, using the World Tree Essence to kindle the Incense Flame, which immensely boosted his combat power to terrifying heights.

"That’s it." The Purple Gold Rat hopped back.

Shi Hao nodded and immediately rushed out of the cave.

Zhu Zhiben continued to try to block him, only to be repelled by Shi Hao’s punch, utterly unqualified to stop him.

If it wasn’t for the fact that they were pressed for time, as the Silver Mouse might return at any moment, Shi Hao wouldn’t mind casually killing this guy, but after all, he was a second sacrificer. It was easy to defeat him, but killing him would indeed take some time. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

"Stop right there!" Zhu Zhiben hastily pursued.

He couldn’t let Shi Hao get away; otherwise, the Zhu Family would have done all the evil deeds, but Shi Hao would reap all the benefits, turning them into the biggest losers.

Shi Hao displayed his movement technique, moving at incredible speed.

Zhu Zhiben... couldn’t catch up!

"Third Uncle, Seventh Ancestor, someone is taking advantage of the chaos, stealing the treasures from the Silver Mouse’s den! Quickly intercept them!" As he exited the cave, Zhu Zhiben was quick to shout at the top of his lungs, his voice spreading far and wide.

Suddenly, several figures soared into the air, releasing terrifying presences, each either Ascending to Saint Position or traversing the Heaven Connecting Road.

Shi Hao heaved a sigh; it seemed he would have to use the Immortal Abode after all.

However, before he could enter, he felt an even stronger presence sweeping over. In the sky, a silver flash appeared; the Silver Mouse had shaken off Zhu Wen and returned to its lair.

Immediately, everyone held their breath. With the return of the Silver Mouse, they were all within its domain, and a mere thought could kill them.

—Even those capable of traversing the Heaven Connecting Road would not escape unscathed.

Magical beasts were generally less intelligent than humans. Their growth relied more on their bloodline rather than their own insights into the world.

But to reach the level of the Sky Ladder, the Silver Mouse certainly couldn’t be a fool.

It finally realized that it might have been lured away from the mountain by a ruse.

However, just an instant later, everyone could sense a surge of frenzied rage.

The Bright Moon Silver Mouse had gone mad because it saw its den was now completely empty.

The audacity of humans, to actually deceive it?

It burst out of the cave immediately, its momentum like a tide, frighteningly formidable.

Zhu Wen, of course, came rushing over to intercept the Silver Mouse in time.

He was astonished.

According to the plan, he would entangle the Silver Mouse, while other clan members would look for the Silver Mouse’s den, taking some Golden Sun Jade, but definitely not to an excessive degree, lest they provoke the beast into a frenzy, which was no joke.

The retreat of the Silver Mouse was not because it was overpowered by him, but because it found the fight meaningless. Thinking to let things slide, ’Go ahead and enter the mountain if you like. I’m done,’ it decided not to care anymore and continued with its big sleep.

Then why had it gone mad?

This was the rhythm of a desperate fight.

"What’s going on?" Zhu Wen attacked while shouting his question.

He was growing angry. Could it be that one of his clan members couldn’t control their greed and took more of the Silver Mouse’s treasures, thus enraging the monster rat?

"Venerable Ancestor, an outsider got ahead and entered the Silver Mouse’s den first, emptying all the treasures!" Zhu Zhiben hurriedly reported.

What!

Zhu Wen was both shocked and furious.

How dare someone snatch what was his?

Had he been inactive for too long, allowing people to forget his might?

He opened his domain and began to search.

——He was familiar with the breath of everyone in the Zhu Family, so any unfamiliar breath he detected would certainly belong to the thieving culprit.

Found you!

He sneered coldly. It was good that the Silver Mouse’s den had been emptied out; he would kill the thief, seize the Spatial Spirit Tool, and then all of the Silver Mouse’s treasures would belong to the Zhu Family.

No matter where he said this, he wouldn’t be in the wrong.

Oh, I kill and reap the rewards, why should I have to return them to you?

There is no such principle, right?

On the contrary, you, a mighty beast of the Sky Ladder caliber, got looted by someone Ascending to Saint Position. That’s a massive disgrace. Do you still have the face to demand the return of the treasures?

If Zhu Zhiben could know what the old ancestor was thinking at this moment, he would be utterly baffled.

Ascending to Saint Position?

Wasn’t it the Supplementing Divine Temple?

And if Zhu Wen could know his thoughts, he would be even more bewildered.

——You can’t even handle a mere Supplementing Divine Temple, not only allowing a complete plunder but also failing to capture the person?

Incompetent!

Zhu Wen made his move, boom, a mighty blue hand appeared, releasing endless oppressive force.

Fu Fan was both horrified and innocent.

What was this situation?

He had followed Shi Hao’s trail here; that fellow was incredibly cunning, actually diving into the river, attempting to wash away his scent.

But Asura was too naive.

He wasn’t tracking the scent but the Spirit Imprint, which couldn’t be shaken off so easily.

So, although it took some time, he still caught up.

However, what did he see?

Two great Sky Ladder Almighties in fierce combat!

Mother of... Although he was Ascending to Saint Position, he certainly didn’t have the prowess to involve himself in such a battle; he would just be cannon fodder.

He was already slipping away, but the human Sky Ladder Almighty had locked onto him with spirit sense, and then made a move against him.

In an instant, countless expressions of disbelief raced through Fu Fan’s mind.

Why?

He was completely innocent, so why attack him?

However, when a Sky Ladder Almighty struck, it was a cataclysm for him.

Who was he to resist?

He hastily said, "Junior is a disciple of Venerable Shuanghua, with the surname Fu and given name Fan!"

Smack!

No sooner had the words left his mouth than he was already flattened into a pulp, the Spatial Spirit Tool instantly confiscated.

What did Ascending to Saint Position matter? Before a Sky Ladder Almighty, he was utterly ineffectual.

Shi Hao was stunned, naturally having heard Fu Fan’s words, and that was why his expression was so bizarre.

You died a wrongful death.
