The bickering between the two big shots instantly startled everyone present.

You're big shots, aren't you!

Where's your dignity?

Your principles?

Gejiermai glanced coldly at Lawrence, then looked towards the cave entrance.

His power far surpasses everyone here, so naturally, he is the first to sense Xu Hao's imminent exit.

Lawrence, though not as powerful, also knows that Xu Hao is about to come out, so he looks in that direction as well.

Sure enough, Xu Hao leaps out of the cave entrance, scans the crowd, and says, "I've gotten the item. You can leave now."

Gejiermai quickly says, "Young Master Xu, can you let us take a look at that Shariputra?"

Xu Hao gives him a glance and says, "No."

Gejiermai looks utterly disappointed.

Lawrence isn't too disappointed; as long as Gejiermai can't get the Immortal Bone, it won't affect the situation here, and he can remain carefree.

Xu Hao takes a step to walk down the mountain.

But after a few steps, he suddenly stops, then looks towards the distance and coldly says, "Show yourself."

There's still someone lying in ambush!

Gejiermai and the others instantly become alert, their eyes following Xu Hao's gaze.

But, they can't detect anything.

"Hahaha! Incredible, you actually noticed us brothers!"

The speaker laughs loudly, then suddenly appears out of thin air from a place undetectable by the crowd.

Both are wearing red robes, half-exposed chests, their heads shiny like bulbs with twelve scars.

Their style is very similar to Gejiermai, but somewhat different.

Are these the helpers invited by Gejiermai?

But Gejiermai's next words dispelled this notion for Xu Hao.

Gejiermai is instantly surprised and says, "It's the Shuang Gun Brothers!"

"Shuang Gun Brothers?" Xu Hao turns his head and asks doubtfully.

These two are highly skilled, both at the peak of late stage grandmaster level, standing there giving Xu Hao the impression of an unshakable mountain. Visit * (*) for more.

These two are odd!

Gejiermai promptly says, "Shuang Gun Brothers, they are extremely powerful, hailing from Tianzhu Country. It's said if they combine their powers, they can rival the masters at the Great Perfection of grandmaster level. Unfortunately, they've been famous for twenty years now, yet still haven't reached the Great Perfection realm. Otherwise, they'd surely be on the Heavenly List!"

"Heavenly List?" Xu Hao feels curious about this ranking.

But Gejiermai doesn't explain further. He starts moving slowly towards the Shengu Brothers while saying, "You two, don't underestimate this young man from Huaya. He has very strong skills. Just now, he single-handedly defeated three late stage grandmasters."

"Hahaha! So he's from Huaya. Huaya Martial Arts is indeed strong, but thinking he can defeat us brothers is quite overambitious." The elder of the Shuang Gun Brothers laughs, "Kid, hand over the Shariputra, and I'll let you pass. Otherwise, you won't take another step out of here!"

Xu Hao glances at him and says indifferently, "I knew someone would try to intercept, but I didn't expect you to be so impatient. If you're looking to die, don't blame me for being rude."

Xu Hao has always understood that this journey to Myanmar won't be smooth. The news about the Immortal Bone has already spread, and undoubtedly, someone will keep an eye out.

Being the first to seize the artifact means that from Lama Peak onwards, he will face wave after wave of people trying to snatch the Immortal Bone.

To carry the Immortal Bone away, Xu Hao must defeat those people; otherwise, he will have to surrender the Immortal Bone.

But, once something is in Xu Hao's possession, there's no way he's giving it back.

Taking a plane would be faster to return, but this is Myanmar, a turbulent situation with figures like Lawrence's, local warlord with private armies. If anyone gets an anti-aircraft weapon, then flying is a death sentence!

Thus, Xu Hao has only one path left—fight his way out!

Create a path through blood!

From now onward, the real danger starts.

The previous battles were just appetizers.

Xu Hao instructs Wang Zhong to notify Ge Danwei not to wait for him but to return directly to Binei City, leaving the off-road vehicle at Cass Town.

And Xu Hao, relying solely on himself, will traverse the entire 800-mile journey to the Myanmar-Huaya border.

This will be a long march.

The elder of the Shuang Gun Brothers coldly says, "Kid, it's wise to hand over the Shariputra. Doesn't Huaya have an old saying? 'A wise man submits to circumstances.' Hand over the Shariputra, and we brothers will ensure your safety."

Gejiermai also says, "Xu Hao, you must be aware there will be others blocking your way. When various powers converge, you won't be able to resist. It's better to hand over the Shariputra now than face interception later."
