Chapter 84 – Robbery
After slaying the Green Scaled Python, Chen Fan took the Ginseng Fruit and placed it in a red sandalwood box to prevent it from losing its medical properties.
Rather than consuming the fruit immediately, he planned to wait until he reached the peak of the eighth level to become a Qi Grandmaster in one breakthrough.
This would grant him unrestricted access to the Dragon Mountain Blessed Land, including the challenging Black Sea Demon Cave.
“This Ginseng Fruit Tree...”
Contemplating the idea of uprooting the Ginseng Fruit Tree and taking it back to his clan, Chen Fan eventually dismissed the notion, realizing the tree would likely wither during the half-month storage in his ring.
I should find a safe place to break through to the eighth level.
Chen Fan thought, his eyes gleaming with determination as he set off to search for a secure location.
......
Another side of the blessed land:
The disciples of the four great sects were earnestly scouring for treasures.
Two disciples from the Mountain River Sect stood on a broken cliff, nestled amidst verdant mountains and crystal-clear waters. They were both at the eighth level but gazed fearfully at Wang Fuchen, dressed in white. Their faces were ashen and tinged with despair.
“Wang Fuchen, do you truly intend to eliminate all of us? You may be a Qi Grandmaster, but if we fight for our lives, we can severely injure you. You won't have an easy time in the blessed land then!” said the youth with a square face. He was at the peak of the eighth level; although he seemed furious, he was actually hiding his fear.
Wang Fuchen shook his head and smiled faintly. “Weaklings like you dare enter the blessed land and threaten me with a fight to the death? How funny. How bold of you! Let me illustrate the expertise of a true master.”
“No! I’m willing to give you all my treasures and belongings. Please let me go,” begged the other person, already terrified and trembling.
“Hehe, would I, Wang Fuchen, care about that measly fortune of yours?”
Wang Fuchen smiled disdainfully and said, “It’s about time. I’ll send you on your way. When you reincarnate, consider gaining some wisdom. Before hastily pursuing benefits, assess your capabilities first.”
Hatred rose in their hearts, and their courage grew alongside their ferocity. They unleashed their strongest martial arts simultaneously, attacking Wang Fuchen.
However, just as they made their moves, Wang Fuchen swept over like a breeze. A sense of loathing for the heavens, the earth, and people blossomed in the air. After two swift movements from him, the two disciples stiffened, and the blood streaks on their necks quickly expanded.
“Consider it a favor that I sacrificed you to my Hate Asunder Sword Technique.”
Wang Fuchen said as he swiftly departed.
Outside the Dragon Mountain Blessed Land, Cai Chixia and the other elders of the Mountain River Sect saw this scene through the primeval mirror and let out cold harrumphs. They glared at Leng Feng and the other Floating Cloud Sword Sect elders.
“This Wang Fuchen is a little too overbearing,” said Cai Chixia, noticing Leng Feng’s lack of reaction.
Leng Feng's expression seemed frozen as he turned to her sharply and stated calmly, “If they’re weak, then they should have stayed in the sect to cultivate. Murders are normal in the blessed land. Moreover, trying to steal Wang Fuchen's treasure with insufficient strength is foolish. They deserved to die.”
“Leng Feng, you...”
Cai Chixia had a short temper and became furious after hearing that.
“What, does Elder Cai feel indignant and want to exchange moves with me?” Leng Feng raised his eyebrow, exuding a fierce sword intent.
“Who’s afraid of you!” Cai Chixia stood up, ready to start a physical altercation.
“That’s enough, you two!”
Zhuo Bufan's powerful aura suppressed their hostility.
......
Another part of the blessed land:
Mountain River Sect’s Xuan Feixue looked indifferently at the frozen demon beasts around him. He felt a slight tremor, and an invisible force shattered the frozen demon beasts.
“What a great source of ice and cold. After I absorb it, my Hornless Ice Dragon primeval qi's cold powers will become even stronger!”
Xuan Feixue pointed his finger, and a streak of primeval qi, sharp as a sword, broke through the frozen pool. A hornless dragon condensed from primeval qi appeared, rushing into the frozen pool.
Boom boom!
The water in the frozen pool churned violently.
The hornless dragon absorbed the power of cold within it, feeding it back to Xuan Feixue. Frost formed on his hair and eyebrows, and the cold intent emanating from him grew stronger.
......
In an area where sand swirled wildly in the sky, Burning Incense Valley’s Chu Qing fought against several incredibly ferocious desert ape demons.
Golden light erupted from Chu Qing; each of his punches could shatter a mountain. Engaging ferocious demon beasts head-on, he relied solely on sheer physical strength, every strike making direct contact.
“Haha, not bad, you bunch of demon apes. Put some more effort into it. Have you not eaten? Your punches are as gentle as a breeze; they can’t even scratch my itch.”
Chu Qing laughed out loud, golden light scattering.
The demon beasts roared in fury, seemingly comprehending Chu Qing's words. They gleamed with a golden metallic sheen as their punches carrying wild killing intent struck Chu Qing. The impact resembled sand twisters colliding with one another, generating sparks.
......
Somewhere in a forest: Chen Fan was still searching for a secure location.
“Hmm... what are those sounds?”
Suddenly, Chen Fan halted and looked ahead. Then, he walked over stealthily.
Stealthily advancing, he discovered three figures encircling a small, dark yellow entity in a clearing.
This tiny creature kept screeching anxiously, scurrying around the clearing in an attempt to flee.
Surprisingly, it was a mountain ginseng that had transformed into a spirit. It looked like a human, standing just over a foot tall. It had lived for a long, long time, radiating a glistening light and brimming with abundant heaven and earth primeval qi.
Wang Tengfei!
Chen Fan observed, noting that one of the three figures was Wang Tengfei.
Hehe, count yourself unfortunate to have crossed paths with me, Wang Tengfei. This mountain ginseng is mine now.
Chen Fan smirked coldly, choosing not to reveal himself immediately. His plan was to let Wang Tengfei's group capture the mountain ginseng before making a move to steal it.
“A mere mountain ginseng thinks it can escape?!”
Wang Tengfei suddenly leaped, and his primeval qi transformed into an inescapable net, enveloping the panicky mountain ginseng.
“Haha, you little thing, you've actually become a spirit? Your medical properties must be even better now. With this, I will surely become a Qi Grandmaster soon!”
Wang Tengfei laughed triumphantly, holding the mountain ginseng in his hand.
“Congratulations, Junior Brother Tengfei. Consuming this mountain ginseng will surely make you a Qi Grandmaster sooner!”
The other two Floating Cloud Sword Sect disciples immediately flattered him.
Though not weak with their eighth-level cultivation, they paled in comparison to Wang Tengfei's peak eighth-level cultivation.
“Just you wait, Chen Fan, you little bastard. The day I become a Qi Grandmaster will be the day you will die. I'll peel off your flesh piece by piece to satisfy my hatred!”
Wang Tengfei clutched onto the mountain ginseng tightly, his face contorting into a twisted, hideous expression, exuding an intense aura of animosity.
“Hehe, is that so? Hands up, everybody, for this is a robbery!”
A voice filled with mockery rang after Wang Tengfei’s words.
