Chapter 171: Water Cloud Heaven Fruit [Extra Chapter for Xiao Tian, the Alliance Leader]
The other eleven individuals had reluctant expressions, but having agreed upon the rules, they could only pinch their noses and reluctantly concede, "Yes, this is yours."
The man was overjoyed and stepped forward. Feeling that the Five Spirit Toad hadn't appeared yet, he wondered if the target wasn't dead yet.
With a single sword strike, a 'shua' sound was heard as the head was chopped off.
Muttering, he said, "Why aren't you coming out yet?"
Just then...
Boom, boom, boom, boom...
A series of explosions reverberated, detonating the items hidden beneath the corpse.
Countless fine needles, as thin as cow hair, crisscrossed through the air.
The closest individuals and those who had come to absorb the Five Spirit Toad were covered in these needles, screaming in agony.
The remaining people also had varying degrees of needle wounds.
Feeling an intense itch, their cultivation bases were momentarily lost, and they couldn't help but roll on the ground, howling in pain.
In an instant, this place became a hellish scene.
Seeing that the dozen or so people chasing her had fallen into her trap, the woman couldn't help but smile, ready to strike.
Suddenly, her eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "What the..."
To her surprise, a bearded giant emerged from the opposite side, brandishing a gleaming longsword. In an instant, he reached the arena, his sword moving like the wind, its glow as bright as snow.
Clang, clang, clang, clang...
Four heads had already been chopped off.
"Stop!"
The woman, enraged, rushed out and charged forward with her sword, intending to attack. But the giant paid her no heed, solely focused on beheading.
Clang, clang, clang, clang...
Four more heads fell.
The woman felt her anger surge, her chest about to explode.
She quickly turned around and killed the four individuals on her side.
But when she was about to kill the third one, the fourth one failed to seize the opportunity, and Fang Che's sword pierced the fourth person's throat, ending their life.
The two Five Spirit Toads simultaneously flew out and returned to their respective owners, feeding on the corpses.
Gritting her teeth, the woman glared at Fang Che, her sword trembled, ready to strike without a word.
Fang Che hastily raised his hand, "Wait!"
The woman clenched her teeth, "What's there to talk about? Aren't you arrogant?"
Fang Che hummed, "I am indeed arrogant, but you're no less so. I can see that they've already formed an alliance. Speaking of which, I'm alone, and so are you. Why don't we join forces?"
The woman's eyes turned red in an instant, "You scoundrel, how dare you take advantage of your grandmother!"
She raised her sword, and with a 'shua' sound, it slashed towards Fang Che.
Fang Che blocked with his sword, "That's not what I meant... Hey, are you even listening, woman?"
The woman was unwilling to comply. She had painstakingly set up a trap to ambush twelve people, only for this guy to snatch nine of the heads!
She couldn't even close her eyes due to the loss!
Alliance?
I just want to kill this despicable bearded man!
Her sword moved like the wind, instantly enveloping Fang Che.
Fang Che mustered his energy, and the Blood Spirit Seven Swords flowed out like the mighty Yangtze River.
The woman attacked fiercely, and Fang Che could only defend, lacking the strength to counterattack.
Fang Che felt the immense pressure, constantly dissipating the force.
His heart was filled with astonishment, akin to a tumultuous river.
The woman's cultivation was far superior to his, and she undoubtedly possessed a profound foundation, unlike those who had forcibly enhanced their talents.
Such talent was almost on par with Mo Gaiyun and the others.
In fact, she was even stronger than them.
At her current cultivation level, she was undoubtedly at the eighth stage of the General rank or higher!
Fang Che had encountered eighth-stage cultivators before, but never with such difficulty.
If not for his profound foundation and the continuous power of the Infinite Sutra, he would have been slashed by her sword.
After several dozen exchanges, Fang Che repeatedly defended.
"You crazy woman, don't you understand? I want to form an alliance with you, not marry you as my wife!" Fang Che roared in anger.
Struggling against her attacks, Fang Che did his best to resist.
The woman's eyes, visible through her face mask, were icy cold, "Who wants to team up with you?"
Noticing that Fang Che's cultivation was inferior to hers, she immediately took the initiative and began to pressure him.
With a 'dang' sound, Fang Che's Wind Steel Sword was deflected, and his chest was slashed, barely avoiding disembowelment.
Fang Che desperately blocked the attack and cursed, "Crazy woman! Hiding behind a mask, you must be ugly!"
The woman became even more enraged.
Fang Che hummed, and with a thought, the Golden Horned Dragon silently appeared in mid-air, invisible and intangible, ready to pounce on the woman.
The woman suddenly sensed the danger and felt a chill down her spine. She immediately sheathed her sword and retreated, pointing it at Fang Che, "What tricks are you playing?"
Fang Che's thoughts raced; this woman possessed exceptional spiritual senses.
He immediately ordered the Golden Horned Dragon to stop and return.
Raising his head, he said to the woman, "Why are you still standing there? Attack!"
Someone behind her?
The woman spun around like a whirlwind.
She found nothing behind her, no one was there.
Turning back, she saw Fang Che spitting out blood, his body flying away like a shooting star, leaving her speechless.
"Blood Ignition Technique! You bastard, you escaped!" The woman was furious, her eyes blazing with anger.
"Next time we meet, I'll definitely slay you with my sword! You bastard, scoundrel!"
Only then did she turn around and leave in anger.
Fang Che rushed out over five hundred li in one breath before finally finding a place to catch his breath.
In his heart, he felt nothing but regret.
He had intended to form an alliance with this woman, establish a connection, and then when encountering their opponents, stab her in the back, directly killing her to steal her spatial ring.
However, this woman's vigilance was unexpectedly high.
Being relentlessly pursued and hunted down, yet still refusing to ally with others—this woman was too strong! He would have to find another opportunity.
Fang Che hurriedly recovered his energy and healed his injuries. Although he hadn't suffered any severe damage, this woman had forced him into several intense clashes, and the powerful vibrations had taken a toll on his body. "A woman with such immense strength must be ugly!" Fang Che comforted himself with this thought, feeling much better.
After all, he was Fang Che, the school's flower.
As he was about to continue healing, a faint sound of battle suddenly reached his ears, startling him.
Quickly recovering his spiritual energy, Fang Che stealthily moved towards the source of the sound.
As he drew closer, the sounds of combat became louder and clearer.
"This isn't just a couple of people fighting; it's a massive group battle!" Fang Che was astonished.
A large-scale battle in this place? How strange! What had happened?
As he pondered, a gust of wind brought with it a strong scent of blood.
But amidst the blood, there was another aroma—a pure fragrance. Fang Che furrowed his brows.
"That's a fragrant scent. What is it? To be so distinct amidst the thick blood..."
Fang Che's eyes lit up with realization.
There was only one possibility—heavenly materials and earthly treasures!
Something valuable had been discovered here, and Fang Che's spirits soared.
This... Fang Che, the old demon, couldn't afford to miss this! But what exactly it was and the situation that had led to this chaotic group fight, he didn't know yet.
Moving quietly, he approached a steep cliff, as straight and tall as a wall.
The battle was evidently taking place on the other side of the cliff.
With a whoosh, Fang Che flew up to the top.
As he was about to climb over, he almost stumbled.
The cliff was indeed like a wall, with sharp edges at the top and a maximum thickness of half a meter. Although it widened slightly below, after a few hundred feet, it was still only about ten feet wide.
Only further down did it gradually become wider, but it couldn't be called a mountain.
"What a stroke of luck."
Descending a few hundred feet, he entered a valley entrance shrouded in mist. Pushing through the mist, he saw the scene below.
Three groups were clearly on guard, some engaged in combat while others watched from the sidelines. New General-ranked individuals kept arriving from the valley entrance and other places, but the three groups didn't fight them; instead, they tried to recruit these newcomers who were concealing their auras.
Then, they discussed matters of great importance.
Clearly, these three groups were vying for something.
But Fang Che couldn't see what it was.
Only when he was about thirty zhang above the ground did he notice something.
At this height, there was a water cloud floating in the air, seemingly suspended without touching the sky or the ground.
Below, the battle raged with fierce gusts of wind.
Yet, this water cloud remained motionless in the sky, and from within it, a faint fragrance wafted.
Fang Che was stunned by what he saw.
This water cloud, neither touching the sky nor the ground, hung in mid-air, reminding Fang Che of a legend.
The Water Cloud Heaven Fruit.
Recorded in the Earth Star's "Chronicle of Wonders."
"Unattached to the sky, the sky is my root; unattached to the earth, the earth is my body; the grand path in the air, a mirror to the mortal world; blooming in the illusory realm, a fruit of fortune; bestowed by fate, it is the Heaven Man Fruit."
Hence, it is also known as the Heaven Man Fruit.
Ranked third on the Chronicle's list of wonders.
This fruit can be consumed by anyone, whether a peak martial artist or an ordinary person without cultivation.
Martial artists also call it the Tenfold Pill.
After consuming this fruit, any unabsorbed medicinal power won't dissipate; instead, it silently accumulates within the body's meridians.
Every day, there's a purification of the body's meridians and marrow.
Moreover, the fruit's effects increase tenfold based on an individual's cultivation speed.
For example, if you're a Martial Master, and in a day, you can usually absorb the spiritual energy of a small wine cup, then after consuming this fruit, you'll gain ten small wine cups' worth of spiritual energy.
But if you're a Royal-ranked cultivator, and in a day, you can absorb a large vat's worth of spiritual energy, then after consuming this fruit, you'll gain ten large vats' worth.
And so on.
If you don't cultivate that day, the fruit's power will only purify your body, and any unused medicinal power will remain until you start cultivating again.
This unreasonable boost and daily purification of the body will continue until the fruit's power is completely depleted.
According to rumors, it can even elevate the innate waste with completely blocked meridians to the Heaven Man level.
Hence, it is known as the Heaven Man Fruit.
The exact growth period is unknown, but within three hours of blooming, the fruit will ripen.
