"Gao Hai!"
At the exact moment his younger brother died, Gao Tian, who was currently fighting Xiao Lin, naturally sensed it, and he instantly let out a grief-stricken cry.
Of course, it wasn't just Gao Tian; Xiao Lin had noticed it as well. In fact, while fighting Gao Tian, Xiao Lin had actually been keeping an eye on the battle between Ji Li and Gao Hai.
In Xiao Lin's eyes, at the very beginning, Ji Li was indeed trading blows back and forth with Gao Hai. However, somehow later on, Gao Hai was actually killed by Ji Li without showing any resistance at all!
How could that scene be described?
It felt as if Gao Hai had deliberately thrown the match afterward.
He was clearly preparing a big move originally.
But suddenly, not only did Gao Hai cancel his big move, he even stood dazed on the spot, waiting for Ji Li to walk right up to him, and then a fire-attribute Dou Technique went down, turning both his physical body and soul to ashes.
This was truly too fake to be true, yet that was exactly what happened.
Then there was only one possibility!
"For Gao Hai to turn into that state, it must be Ji Li's doing!"
Xiao Lin thought to himself silently.
Ji Li had always been mysterious, and the opponent definitely possessed means that far exceeded his surface strength; Xiao Lin knew all of this. But when Ji Li truly exposed a part of his strength, Xiao Lin was indeed shocked.
To be honest, given Gao Hai's situation just now, if he were to face Ji Li himself, he might not necessarily escape unscathed either. Therefore, if he really fought with Ji Li, he would absolutely have to go all out right from the start!
Otherwise, there was a high probability he would end up with the same fate as Gao Hai.
"Was it caused by that white mist?"
At this moment, Xiao Lin also remembered that right before Gao Hai fell into a daze, a wave of mysterious white mist seemed to have suddenly appeared around him.
What that white mist was, Xiao Lin didn't know for the time being.
But that it was very dangerous, was certain!
"Ah, ah, ah, I want to kill you to avenge my brother!"
While Xiao Lin was contemplating the mysterious aspects of Ji Li, Gao Tian seemed on the verge of going crazy because his brother had died at Ji Li's hands.
At this time, he even wanted to break away from Xiao Lin and go straight after Ji Li!
"Swoosh"
However, how could Xiao Lin let him have his way?
Just like that, Xiao Lin suddenly flashed his body and directly intercepted Gao Tian again.
"Your opponent is me."
Xiao Lin spoke calmly.
"Get lost! Do you want to die too?"
The current Gao Tian was clearly in no mood to tangle with Xiao Lin.
It was just that Xiao Lin still had no intention of moving aside.
"Since your brother has already gone, wouldn't it be great if you went down to keep him company too?"
Xiao Lin said such a sentence in a perfectly serious manner.
"Good, very good! Hahaha, all of you go to hell!"
Xiao Lin's words could be said to have added fuel to the fire.
Gao Tian, who was already furious beyond measure due to the death of his brother Gao Hai, could no longer maintain his composure. However, at this time, Ji Li, who had already dealt with Gao Hai, approached the battlefield of Xiao Lin and Gao Tian.
"Not finished yet? Need my help?"
Ji Li asked Xiao Lin after casting a smiling glance at the bloodshot eyes of Gao Tian.
"No need, it will be over soon."
Xiao Lin refused Ji Li's kindness without even turning his head.
It was agreed that each would choose an opponent. Now that Ji Li had already taken care of his opponent and come over to his side, Xiao Lin naturally wouldn't let him interfere!
He also had his own pride, okay!
Just now, he merely wanted to test the power of his current Star Dou Qi, so he hadn't used any means beyond Dou Qi. Now that the winner had already been decided between Ji Li and Gao Hai, Xiao Lin naturally wouldn't continue to slack off.
Without knowing what kind of mentality was at play, Xiao Lin didn't want Ji Li to look down on him!
"Alright then, I hope you won't make me wait too long."
Shrugging his shoulders, Ji Li also displayed an indifferent attitude toward Xiao Lin's refusal.
After all, everything before his eyes was originally within his arrangements. Picking the Gao brothers, these two One-Change Dou Zun, he merely wanted to take the opportunity to see Xiao Lin's strength.
Although Xiao Lin was currently suppressing Gao Tian, a One-Change Dou Zun, solely relying on his cultivation of a Nine-Star Dou Zun, Ji Li believed that this was definitely not Xiao Lin's true strength!
If it were really just this much, he wouldn't feel a sense of threat from Xiao Lin.
Regarding his own judgment, Ji Li was still very confident!
"A mere Nine-Star Dou Zun, stop looking down on people, die!"
Normally speaking, Gao Tian should have run away at this moment.
Setting aside Xiao Lin's combat power which was not inferior to his, Ji Li had easily taken care of Gao Hai, whose strength was similar to his own!
However, how could Gao Tian, whose mind was already consumed by rage, think so much?
"Radiance Piercing the Nine Heavens!"
Like the light of dawn, it pierced through the layers of clouds.
Immediately following, a destructive pillar of light smashed down from right above Xiao Lin's head. That terrifying pillar of light seemed capable of devouring everything into nothingness.
However, Xiao Lin remained completely unfazed.
"Star-Swallowing Wall!"
A curtain of starlight suddenly appeared above Xiao Lin's head.
At that moment, it was as if Xiao Lin was being protected by the starry sky itself!
"Boom"
The destructive pillar of light smashed violently against the starlight curtain, the two forces canceling each other out.
"Die for me, ah, ah, ah!"
Gao Tian continuously increased the output of Dou Qi within his body.
As time ticked by, the starlight curtain also began to dent inward. However, looking at the situation, it seemed it would still be able to block this destructive pillar of light for a short period of time.
Faced with this scenario, Xiao Lin naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch. In the next second, Xiao Lin turned his head to glance at Gao Tian, who was drenched in sweat and continuously increasing his output.
At the same time, a terrifying Heaven Realm soul power had already erupted from within Xiao Lin's body. Without much hesitation, Xiao Lin controlled his soul power and pierced straight toward Gao Tian's undefended mind.
"Ah, ah, ah!"
Suffering a severe blow to his soul, Gao Tian clutched his head in agony. Without Gao Tian's continuous output, that destructive beam of light also dissipated into the air.
"Swoosh"
Just as Gao Tian was trying his best to expel the spiritual power that had invaded his ocean of consciousness, Xiao Lin flashed his body and already appeared right in front of him.
Looking at the abruptly appearing Xiao Lin, Gao Tian's pupils began to dilate.
"God-Slaying Finger!"
Pointing a single finger out, Gao Tian only saw a smudge of starlight expanding rapidly in his eyes. Following that, he could no longer see anything, nor could he perceive anything.
Gao Tian's physical body and soul were instantly annihilated into nothingness by Xiao Lin's God-Slaying Finger at this very moment. Right before killing Gao Tian, Xiao Lin also conveniently kept the opponent's storage ring.
At this point, both Ji Li and Xiao Lin had successfully achieved counter-kills one after another.
"Here."
"Clack"
Right at this moment, Ji Li flipped his hand and threw an object toward Xiao Lin, and Xiao Lin casually caught it. When Xiao Lin opened his palm, it was impressively the storage ring that originally belonged to Gao Gao.
Seeing this, Xiao Lin cast a puzzled gaze toward Ji Li.
After all, Gao Hai's storage ring was Ji Li's spoils of war!
Xiao Lin didn't understand why Ji Li would throw Gao Hai's storage ring to him as well.
"Since I brought you here, I should show some appreciation, right? This way, you shouldn't hold a grudge against me anymore, right?"
At this time, Ji Li also flew in front of Xiao Lin with a smile all over his face to explain. Hearing Ji Li say this, Xiao Lin took a deep look at the opponent.
Ji Li also allowed Xiao Lin to size him up freely.
"Forget it, I also roughly understand your purpose for bringing me here. However, next time you want to stir up trouble, can you just say it clearly beforehand? You made me think you were in cahoots with these two guys at the beginning."
"Hehe, definitely!"
Indeed, after Ji Li threw Gao Hai's storage ring to him and explained it so directly, the tiny bit of grievance Xiao Lin had held in his heart instantly vanished.
By this time, how could Xiao Lin still fail to see through Ji Li's purpose for bringing him to fight the Gao brothers?
It was nothing more than wanting to see his strength. It was just because Ji Li hadn't spoken clearly earlier that Xiao Lin felt a bit bothered in his heart.
Now, it was no longer necessary.
At the same time, Xiao Lin also began to take stock of his harvests from this encounter.
Inside the Gao brothers' storage rings, besides a Earth Grade Light-attribute Cultivation Technique and a Dark-attribute Cultivation Technique, there were also several volumes of Earth Grade Dou Techniques of these two attributes.
Aside from those, there were several other Earth Grade Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques. Not only Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques, but the quantity of medicinal pills was also quite large.
For Tier 8 pills, ranging from two-colored to eight-colored, there were about thirty to forty pills in total. As for pills below Tier 8, they were simply too numerous to count!
There were also various high-tier medicinal herbs, pill recipes, monster cores, and some organs from magical beasts, which were likewise abundant.
Several hundred million gold coins could only be considered the least valuable thing inside the storage rings. Aside from these, there were also some miscellaneous items.
It had to be said, it was truly worthy of being the net worth of two One-Change Dou Zun. After Xiao Lin obtained the storage rings of the Gao brothers, he instantly became loaded once again.
In the future, when he encountered items he fancied, he wouldn't need to mindlessly use formation plates to barter anymore. These pills were completely sufficient to become his capital for trading other items.
