After the dazzling light faded, everyone’s eyes quickly focused on Leo’s direction.
“That kid must be dead this time,” Fierce Wave said instinctively.
“No, he is still alive,” Fierce Fire replied in a deep voice.
Elder Bloodmoon spoke with a hint of astonishment, “He actually withstood the terrifying twelfth Heavenly Thunder!”
Amidst the dark blue raindrops, the once small figure still stood proudly.
The black clouds in the sky finally exhausted all their energy and quickly dissipated.
Moonlight shone down again, illuminating Leo’s solitary figure.
Leo exhaled deeply, and the seriousness on his face was soon replaced by joy.
Although this tribulation was extremely dangerous, the greater the risk, the greater the reward. Leo not only broke through to the lower-tier Spirit Saint and formed a golden core but also caused Puppet General to undergo a qualitative evolution.
Leo spread his arms, feeling the surging spiritual power within him, his emotions stirring.
Then Leo suddenly turned his body and looked towards where Water and Fire Dual Heroes and Elder Bloodmoon were, shouting, “Didn’t you want to kill me? Why don’t you come over and do it now?”
Hearing Leo’s words, Water and Fire Dual Heroes and Elder Bloodmoon all had cold expressions.
Fierce Wave’s eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he sneered, “That kid thinks he’s invincible just because he survived the tribulation. Since he’s so eager to die, I’ll grant his wish!”
“Such an arrogant kid. If we don’t kill him now, when will we?” Fierce Fire’s eyes also flashed with cold light.
In the eyes of Water and Fire Dual Heroes, Leo’s Storage Sack must contain many treasures. As long as they killed Leo, they could take everything he had.
After all, the Golden Family only wanted the kid’s life, not his belongings.
Water and Fire Dual Heroes’ spiritual power surged within them, transforming into two streams of light that shot towards Leo.
Seeing Water and Fire Dual Heroes impatiently rushing to kill Leo, Elder Bloodmoon snorted coldly in his heart and also shot towards Leo.
When they were still a few hundred meters away from Leo, Fierce Wave shouted, “Kid, don’t be arrogant. Take this punch from me first!”
Fierce Wave threw a punch, and the spiritual power flames gathered in his right hand burst out, transforming into a giant lion enveloped in fiery red spiritual flames.
“Roar…!”
The blazing giant lion roared and pounced towards Leo like it was hunting prey.
Once a cultivator advanced to Spirit Saint, they could condense a golden core in their dantian. Not only did their spiritual power become purer, but they could also use it to launch materialized attacks.
The blazing giant lion was a materialized attack released by Fierce Wave’s spiritual power.
“Tricks of a small-time magician!” Leo sneered disdainfully.
Before his advancement, Leo might have taken Fierce Wave’s attack seriously. But now that he was a Spirit Saint, breaking such materialized attacks was effortless for him.
Facing the charging blazing giant lion, Leo directly threw a punch.
Boom!
The massive fist formed by condensed spiritual power pierced through the mouth of the blazing giant lion.
The blazing giant lion immediately exploded into countless fire droplets.
The fist light that pierced through the blazing giant lion only dimmed slightly and continued to shoot towards Fierce Wave like a meteor.
Seeing his attack easily neutralized, Fierce Wave’s expression turned grim.
“Get lost!” Fierce Wave shouted angrily. With a wave of his sleeve, fiery red spiritual flames surged out from within him and collided with the fist light, shattering it instantly.
Fierce Fire, witnessing this scene from the side, was secretly shocked. “This kid just survived the Thunder Tribulation and still has so much strength left!”
At this moment, Elder Bloodmoon appeared not far from Water and Fire Dual Heroes. The three of them formed a crescent-shaped formation facing Leo.
In the distance, onlooking cultivators couldn’t help but discuss among themselves.
“Three veteran Spirit Saints ganging up on one person!”
“I haven’t seen such a situation in decades.”
“That young man has already survived the Thunder Tribulation. His current cultivation must also be at Spirit Saint level. Truly enviable.”
“Such a heaven-defying talent. It’s a pity that he didn’t fall during the Thunder Tribulation but is about to be killed by three Spirit Saints…”
After a brief standoff, Water and Fire Dual Heroes exchanged glances and burst forth with spiritual power again, closing the distance with Leo.
“Wait!” Just as Water and Fire Dual Heroes were about to make their move, Elder Bloodmoon suddenly shouted to stop them.
Out of respect for the elder of Bloodsoul Sect, they halted their actions simultaneously.
Fierce Fire turned to Elder Bloodmoon and asked in confusion, “Elder Bloodmoon, what’s wrong?”
Elder Bloodmoon ignored Fierce Fire and stared at Leo with old eyes. She said in a deep voice, “Young one, I see that your cultivation journey has not been easy, and your talent is not weak. Anton is gone for good. If you die at our hands, it would be a pity.”
“I’ll give you a chance. Join my Bloodsoul Sect and replace Anton as the closed-door disciple of our Supreme Elder.”
“Elder Bloodmoon, you…!”
Hearing this, Water and Fire Dual Heroes’ expressions changed simultaneously, showing anger on their faces.
They had taken benefits from the Golden Family and had to kill this kid. But if he agreed to join Bloodsoul Sect under Elder Bloodmoon’s offer, things would become complicated.
“What do you say, young one? Join my Bloodsoul Sect. You might even become its leader in the future!” Elder Bloodmoon continued to tempt Leo.
Elder Bloodmoon’s plan was simple: lure Leo into Bloodsoul Sect first. If the Supreme Elder favored him, he would replace Anton as the closed-door disciple. If not, he would be killed within Bloodsoul Sect.
Leo was initially stunned by Elder Bloodmoon’s words but then couldn’t help but laugh.
“Alright, Elder Bloodmoon. I can join your Bloodsoul Sect, but you have to kill these so-called Water and Fire Dual Heroes first,” Leo said with a playful tone.
“You…!” Leo’s words made Water and Fire Dual Heroes even more furious.
Elder Bloodmoon naturally understood that Leo was mocking her. Her wrinkled face immediately turned gloomy.
“You ungrateful brat! Do you think you can take on all three of us just because you’ve just advanced to Spirit Saint?” Elder Bloodmoon shouted angrily.
In her view, she had given Leo a decent way out, but he chose to reject it!
Water and Fire Dual Heroes had been Spirit Saints for over ten years; she had been one for even longer. She believed that no matter how talented Leo was, he couldn’t possibly defeat all three of them.
Seeing Leo merely sneering at her with amusement in his eyes, Elder Bloodmoon could no longer tolerate it. Spiritual power surged wildly within her as she formed a massive blood-red moon wheel in front of her.
The blood moon wheel had edges as sharp as knives and sliced through the void as it charged towards Leo.
Leo snorted coldly and summoned the Bronze Scroll into his hand.
