“Thunder Beast, no matter what your reasons are, our Sun Family has never wronged you. If you want revenge, go after those who truly offended you.”
Sun Rui looked cautiously at the enraged Thunder Beast as he spoke.
Roar…
However, for some reason, Sun Rui’s words only seemed to fuel the Thunder Beast’s anger. It opened its mouth and roared again, spewing three columns of fire towards the group of Sun Family Martial Practitioners.
Ahhh…
Many Sun Family Martial Practitioners were burned by the fire columns, and the scene was filled with flames and the cries of the injured and dying.
“Beast, we tried to talk to you nicely, but you insist on causing trouble. Don’t blame us for being rude!”
Sun Tieshan and Sun Rui were truly enraged. They both unleashed their Condensing Origin Realm level ten cultivation, their figures turning into two streaks of light as they attacked the Thunder Beast from both sides.
The Thunder Beast roared and charged forward, its massive body slamming into Sun Tieshan and Sun Rui.
Bang! Bang!
In the next moment, the two were sent flying like broken kites, crashing heavily to the ground, nearly losing half their lives.
“This beast is so powerful! As expected of a half-step Transforming Realm Monster Beast. Even together, we can’t withstand a single blow.”
Sun Tieshan and Sun Rui were horrified. Two Condensing Origin Realm level ten practitioners were no match for a half-step Transforming Realm beast, especially since Monster Beasts were several times stronger than Martial Practitioners of the same level. The disparity in strength was simply too great.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
The Thunder Beast glared at the two, its eyes burning with fury. It roared again and charged at them with overwhelming hatred.
“Not good, run!”
Sun Tieshan and Sun Rui were terrified, dragging their injured bodies as they fled in all directions.
But no matter how they thought about it, they couldn’t understand why the Thunder Beast harbored such intense hatred towards them, as if they had done something unforgivable to it.
The problem was, they hadn’t done anything!
Not far away, Terra Su and Gu Qianyin sat leisurely on a large rock, watching Sun Tieshan and Sun Rui being chased around, enjoying the spectacle.
“They still think those two eggs are treasures you obtained long ago, not realizing you just took them from the Thunder Beast’s nest,” Gu Qianyin said, looking at the disheveled Sun Tieshan and Sun Rui.
Ah!
Not far away, Sun Tieshan stumbled, and the Thunder Beast bit off half his arm, tearing it away. He was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat but didn’t dare slow down.
Seeing Sun Tieshan’s miserable state, Sun Rui was even more terrified and ran faster.
The Thunder Beast glared at Sun Rui’s fleeing figure, a hint of violence in its eyes. It opened its mouth and spewed another column of fire, this time with a faint trace of purple lightning.
Sun Rui felt the fire column coming from behind and quickly dodged to the side. The fire column brushed past him, burning half his sleeve.
But before Sun Rui could breathe a sigh of relief, the purple lightning shot into his body.
Suddenly, Sun Rui felt his body go numb, his eyes glazing over.
Thud!
Sun Rui’s body fell straight to the ground like a wooden stake.
Paralyzed by the lightning, he was dead!
“Not good!”
“Hall Master is dead!”
Seeing this, Sun Tieshan was even more terrified, feeling a sense of despair. He turned and fled in the opposite direction of the Thunder Beast.
Boom! Boom!
The Thunder Beast moved, blocking Sun Tieshan’s path like a small mountain.
Its fiery eyes locked onto Sun Tieshan.
Being targeted by a half-step Transforming Realm Monster Beast, Sun Tieshan felt a chill in his heart. In this critical moment, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind.
The treasure!
He and Sun Rui hadn’t done anything, except take that treasure!
The Thunder Beast must be after that treasure!
Realizing this, Sun Tieshan didn’t dare delay. He quickly took out the egg from his pocket and shouted, “Thunder Beast, stop! Look, is this what you’re looking for?”
Roar!
Seeing the egg, the Thunder Beast’s killing intent slightly subsided. It let out a low growl, its eyes fixed on the egg in Sun Tieshan’s hand.
Seeing this, Sun Tieshan confirmed his guess. The Thunder Beast was indeed after the treasure!
Sun Tieshan nearly spat out blood in frustration. He had thought he had gained a great treasure, only to attract the Thunder Beast’s wrath, resulting in heavy casualties and the death of the Hall Master. He even lost an arm!
This was truly a case of trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice used to lure it!
Roar!
The Thunder Beast suddenly roared again, full of anger!
Sun Tieshan was stunned, then quickly ran to Sun Rui’s corpse, took out the other egg, and said, “There’s another one here!”
Roar…
Seeing the two eggs, the Thunder Beast’s violent emotions slightly calmed, but its eyes remained fixed on Sun Tieshan.
“Thunder Beast, there must be some misunderstanding between us!”
Sun Tieshan, holding the two eggs with his remaining arm, said, “These treasures were given to us by a young man. We didn’t know they were yours. If we had known, we wouldn’t have taken them!”
Humph!
The Thunder Beast snorted coldly, its eyes still fixed on the eggs in Sun Tieshan’s arms.
In fact, if the Thunder Beast had intelligence similar to humans, it would have scoffed at this point. Such a lie was hardly convincing. How could a young man have the guts to steal eggs from the Thunder Beast’s nest? It was nonsense!
Enduring the pain from his severed arm, Sun Tieshan said, “Thunder Beast, I’ll return these treasures to you now, but you must promise to let us leave safely after you get them back.”
“But if you don’t agree, I’ll destroy these treasures right now and we’ll all perish together!”
Humph!
Hearing the words “perish together,” the Thunder Beast snorted coldly again, but its violent emotions subsided significantly.
Observing the Thunder Beast’s expression, Sun Tieshan said, “I’ll take that as a yes?”
The Thunder Beast nodded.
Sun Tieshan immediately threw the two eggs towards the Thunder Beast.
The Thunder Beast opened its mouth, caught the two eggs, and held them carefully.
Only then did Sun Tieshan breathe a sigh of relief. But seeing the corpses of the Sun Family Martial Practitioners and the dead Hall Master Sun Rui, he felt a wave of helplessness and sorrow.
Who knew that his greed for treasure would come at such a heavy price?
“What are these treasures that the Thunder Beast values so much?”
