Chapter 485: Four hundred eighty-five, jumped out by itself!
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
Yun Xiao did not immediately strike, as he had no grudge against these people. They had come from afar, and if they knew to step aside wisely, he could overlook their earlier disrespect.
However, these obstructing individuals were numerous and a notch above in strength. How could they possibly take Yun Xiao seriously?
As the man before had said, though they hailed from different empires, they supported each other in the Demon Realm. If they allowed this youngster to pass, they would lose a spot. How could they give it up so easily?
"Since you refuse to see reason, don’t blame us for being unkind!"
Seeing that the youngster had no intention of backing down, the leader’s anger fueled his courage. With a grand gesture of his hand, one of the geniuses who had just reached the Mid Stage of Meridian Union Realm lunged forward.
This person was named Tao Hua, from a remote empire whose overall power paled in comparison to the Xuanyue Empire. Yet he was this empire’s greatest talent—neither the Royal Family nor any major Sect came close to his ability.
Tao Hua, who once stood high and mighty in his own empire, realized at the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference that he was just a frog in the well. When compared to super talents like Shen Wannian and Ye Shimei, he wasn’t even qualified to carry their shoes.
Tao Hua, who had luckily met this group by chance, managed to reach the foot of Demon Suppressing Mountain, just one step away from advancing to the second round.
Tao Hua was the weakest among the group. He knew that if he let this young man in rough clothes reach the destination first, one spot would inevitably be lost. And he might very well be the one to be eliminated.
So, for both emotional and rational reasons, Tao Hua needed to be the first to step forward. He had no impression of the young man before him and knew this was not any of the top talents, so he was somewhat confident.
