In the next moment, the surrounding Dao Kings all saw Shun Long vanishing on the spot, as his body disappeared from the place he was standing on, appearing right next to the 4 young men and women who were lying on the ground.
Without even looking at the yellow-robed young man who was standing just a few meters away from Liu Mei and was holding a black sword that was still dripping with fresh blood, Shun Long waved his right hand, taking out an alchemy bottle that was filled with snow-white colored pills from the 'Stone of Time', before he began to feed the pills to Liu Mei and the others.
Indeed, the 4 people who were lying on the ground in front of him with extremely weakened auras, looking like they were about to die at any moment, were precisely Liu Mei, Xingyi, Jiang Chen, and Bai Longtian!
As for the snow-white pills that Shun Long had just taken out, these were all top-grade rank 6 healing pills that he had personally refined while he was still in seclusion back in the Northern Sovereign's estate.
Aside from injuries to a person's soul or other special types of injuries, these pills that Shun Long had just taken out could practically save even a peak rank 9 Dao King who was on the brink of death, if that person was just afflicted with physical injuries.
''You arrogant bastard, what do you think you are doing in front of me?'' At the same time that Shun Long began to feed the healing pills to Liu Mei and the rest, the yellow-robed young man who was standing just a few meters away from him shouted in a cold voice as he stared at Shun Long, looking at him with a look of both incredulity and anger in his eyes.
In fact, it wasn't just this yellow-robed young man but all of the surrounding Dao Kings here who were stunned by Shun Long's presence, as they could now all sense that this person in front of them was just a peak rank 3 Dao King.
Clearly, none of them could fathom how a peak rank 3 Dao King could possibly clear the first stage of this 'Illusion oasis'!
However, the killing intent that was coming from Shun Long's body earlier had momentarily stunned even the yellow-robed young man, which was why he had failed to react in time and had ended up allowing Shun Long to get close to Liu Mei and the others.
Turning around, Shun Long stared at this yellow-robed young man in front of him who was clearly emitting the aura of a peak rank 9 Dao King, and after throwing a single look at the black sword in his hands that was still dripping with fresh blood, Shun Long asked him in an extremely cold voice
''Why did you attack them?''
Seeing the condition that Liu Mei and the others were in and the fresh blood that was still dripping from the yellow-robed man's sword, Shun Long could naturally tell that Liu Mei's and the rest's injuries had all come from this person in front of him.
''Hahahahaha!'' Hearing Shun Long's question, the yellow-robed young man started laughing loudly in a mocking manner, while many of the surrounding Dao Kings began to shake their heads in response.
''Why did I attack them? Why? Do I need a reason to attack someone in this place? Hahaha! Brat, where do you think we are right now? This is the 'City of Immortals'! Here, the strong rule and the weak must obey, understand? I don't need a reason to attack someone other than to take their treasures! However, before I kill you I don't mind answering your question.
Once these 4 fools passed the first stage of the 'Illusion oasis' and came here, I magnanimously offered them a safe place to rest before they challenge the second stage. In exchange, all they had to do was hand over half the drops of 'Immortal water' that they gathered during the first stage.
If they had agreed, I would have let them live and wouldn't have bothered with them any longer. Unfortunately for them... they refused, thinking that they had a choice. And of course, this is their punishment for refusing.
Normally, I would have given you the same offer as them... but it's too bad that I already find you an eyesore!''
As he finished speaking, the yellow-robed young man brandished his sword as he began to approach Shun Long with slow steps, while a malevolent smile had already formed itself on his lips.
Clearly, for a peak rank 9 Dao King like him, dealing with an early-stage Dao King like Shun Long was child's play.
At the same time, inside the foggy space in the 'Stone of Time', Little Black opened his bright blue eyes and stared at the yellow-robed young man in front of Shun Long with a gaze that was filled with endless killing intent, while his body had started to emit an aura that would have caused the souls of any late-stage Dao Emperors who dared to stand before the black dragon at this moment to tremble with fear, and after a moment of silence, Little Black said to Shun Long
''Master, although your talents would be considered unrivaled even in the 'Immortal Dimension', you are still a peak rank 3 Dao King right now. The gap between the two of you is too big right now. I know that master would rather deal with this yourself but let me take care of this.''
At this moment, Little Black could sense Shun Long's raging emotions that were like a volcano that was about to explode.
Clearly, there was no way that Shun Long would let this matter go when the yellow-robed young man had already laid his hands on Liu Mei and the others! This was even more so since Little Black could tell how serious Liu Mei's and the rest's injuries were. Even though Shun Long had already fed them top-grade rank 6 healing pills, Little Black could tell that Jiang Chen's and the rest's vitality was still rapidly slipping away from their bodies without any signs of improving, while their breathing had already turned extremely weak and was about to stop at any moment.
