"Useless!"
Cartland shook his head. "This Jiang Li's mental power is at least at the High-level God of War realm, or even the peak of High-level God of War! He's already touched the threshold of Beyond God of War!"
"For a Mentalist like that, numbers are completely useless!"
"Remember, absolutely do not provoke him!"
"He is a true Invincible God of War!"
Hearing this.
Bloodshadow Ivan and Giant Bear Kaita both sucked in a cold breath, nodding solemnly.
Invincible God of War!
It's just a respectful title given to powerful Gods of War. Cartland's status in the God of War circle is also extremely high, with many Gods of War calling him the Invincible God of War.
But Cartland himself knew that while his physical attributes had reached the peak of a high-level God of War, his mental power had remained stuck at the peak of an intermediate God of War, unable to break through.
"We need to hurry and find the Wood Spirit, then immediately leave by fighter jet!"
Cartland was certain that Mist Island was so vast that there wouldn't just be a few Wood Spirits at the entrance: "It will be difficult to get them once my teacher and the others arrive."
"Alright!"
Bloodshadow Ivan and Giant Bear Kaita didn't hesitate either, and the three of them quickly headed into the island.
"Jiang Li, what just happened?"
Cartland had run off for no apparent reason, leaving everyone puzzled. Zhao Fang asked curiously.
Hearing this.
Jiang Li said with a smile, "He's probably afraid I'll kill him."
Everyone: "..."
That was Cartland! A Mentalist of a High-Level God of War! Who among the Gods of War could kill him?!
But no matter what, it was clear that Cartland feared Jiang Li.
"What now? Are we still going to explore deeper?"
Shi Jiang asked.
"Cartland has already arrived, I believe the strong from all sides will also arrive soon..."
Chu Qiang said in a low voice, "The Willow King on the outer perimeter is already so terrifying, if we go deeper, we probably won't make it out alive."
Chu Qiang knew his own limitations. Although he was an advanced God of War, the situation he was facing clearly couldn't be handled even by an advanced God of War!
"That's true."
Shi Jiang and Zhao Ruo exchanged a look. "Jiang Li, we won't go in."
"Alright!"
Jiang Li wasn't one to be overly polite. He glanced towards the depths of Mist Island, took out the backpack containing the Wood Spirit, and tossed it to Shi Jiang, laughing. "Hide the Wood Spirit. If any strong individuals ask about it, say it's with me!"
"Ah?"
Zhao Ruo paused, just as Jiang Li's figure flashed rapidly, like a streak of white light, shooting into the depths of Mist Island.
"Jiang Li's right!"
"Once a being beyond the God of War arrives, even Brother Jiang Li might not be able to protect the Wood Spirit!"
Chu Qiang reminded him, "We'll only be truly safe once the high-ranking members of the martial arts school get here!"
Whoosh!
Jiang Li stood on the Bloodshadow Battle Sword, traversing the skies of Mist Island a hundred meters up, looking down while simultaneously spreading his mental power to search.
"Boom!"
A booming sound came from a distance, followed by faint excited laughter.
"Hmm? Looks like it's Cartland and the others!"
Jiang Li's eyes lit up. With a thought, he immediately flew towards the direction of the sound.
And at this moment.
Fantasy Cartland, Giant Bear Kaita, and Bloodshadow Ivan were attacking a sturdy willow tree. Around them, eight willow trees had already been felled.
This one was clearly not as powerful as the Willow King on the perimeter.
"You can take three Wood Spirits and leave!"
A voice suddenly rang out.
The faces of Cartland, Kaita, and Ivan instantly changed. They turned to look and saw Jiang Li, standing on his Bloodshadow Battle Sword, slowly descending. His harmless face held a slight smile.
Upon hearing this, Cartland's expression became extremely ugly. He cursed inwardly. Why did he have to act tough and provoke him!
"Go!"
Cartland didn't even have the desire to fight Jiang Li.
The three of them immediately sprinted in three different directions.
"Cartland is fast and hard to chase, but..."
Jiang Li immediately assessed that among the three, Giant Bear Kaita was the slowest. With a twirl of the Bloodshadow Battle Sword, he shot towards Giant Bear Kaita.
"I surrender, I surrender!"
Giant Bear Kaita hadn't even run three kilometers when he turned around and saw Jiang Li coming for him. Without a word, he raised his hands.
Whoosh! "Surrender?"
Jiang Li raised an eyebrow.
"Jiang Li, we have no grievances with you. I can't beat you. I surrender, I admit defeat!"
Giant Bear Kaita looked helpless, speaking in broken Mandarin: "Two, Wood Spirits, all for you."
Then.
He decisively opened his backpack and tossed the Wood Spirit to Jiang Li.
Admittedly, that Giant Bear Kaita was sensible!
Even Cartland wasn't a match for him, so Kaita naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to directly confront Jiang Li.
And at the level of a God of War, they generally wouldn't kill unless it was a life-or-death feud.
After all, any God of War was a main force in fighting against monsters, and were rare treasures for humanity.
"Then I'll be going?"
Seeing Jiang Li throw the Wood Spirit into the alloy box behind him, Kaita said in a gentle voice, "Next time you're in Europa or the God of War Palace, I'll treat you to the finest vodka!"
"Sounds good."
Jiang Li smiled and nodded slightly.
"Then we're friends! Don't chase me anymore!"
After saying that,
Kaita vanished in a flash.
"God of War Palace, huh?"
Jiang Li was still rated as a High-level Warrior, so he hadn't applied to join the God of War Palace.
Immediately,
the Bloodshadow Battle Sword executed a spatial shift, and Jiang Li flew rapidly in another direction.
On the other side of Mist Island.
Bloodshadow Ivan moved rapidly through the mist, his expression grave. When he looked back, he saw Jiang Li pursuing Kaita, and he couldn't help but worry.
'Beep!'
"Hmm? It's Kaita?"
"Kaita, have you engaged with Jiang Li?"
The moment the communicator lit up, Bloodshadow Ivan's heart sank: Was Kaita calling for help?!
"No."
Kaita's relaxed voice came from the communicator: "I gave him the Wood Spirit, and then we became friends!"
Hearing this.
Ivan was dumbfounded.
Suddenly.
He raised his eyes sharply, and saw a white streak of light quickly piercing through the thick fog, instantly appearing before him.
Whoosh! The blurry figure solidified, and it was none other than Jiang Li, standing on the Bloodshadow Battle Sword.
"Don't, don't attack!"
Seeing Jiang Li coming at him, Ivan shouted, "I'm also willing to hand over the Wood Spirit and be friends with you!"
"Be friends?"
Jiang Li was taken aback, and saw Ivan pull out three Wood Spirits, decisively tossing them to Jiang Li. "Jiang Li, I didn't keep a single one."
"Very good."
Jiang Li smiled slightly and tossed the three Wood Spirits into the alloy box. Just as he was about to leave,
Above Mist Island.
A fiery red streak of light suddenly shot across the sky from the horizon, like a meteor blazing across the heavens, appearing particularly dazzling in the long expanse of the sky.
Swoosh!!!
In a flash, the fiery red streak of light swept across the sky and arrived above Jiang Li and Ivan.
It was a curly-haired, white man in a combat suit. He was suspended in mid-air, and the space around him seemed to distort slightly. His body was also shimmering with wisps of flame.
The man in the flames looked down, scanning the two of them before speaking in English, "Who are you?"
He's condensing elemental energy and can fly in mid-air. He must be a Beyond God of War!
