Even Chu Wenshang was shocked when he saw this scene. Chu Tianlu was trapped to the point where he didn't have a chance to make a move. The owner of this dagger was actually Chu Tianliang!
Chu Xingping bravely came to save Chu Tianliang without any regard for his own safety, yet Chu Tianliang actually seized the opportunity to stab his heart. This sudden turn of events happened too suddenly, and even Chu Wenshang and Chu Tianlu were momentarily stupefied.
"You're crazy!" Chu Wenshang continued to trap Chu Tianlu while frowning at Chu Tianliang. He really couldn't understand the scene in front of him. Was this guy a lunatic who couldn't distinguish between friend and foe?
"Hmph, this bastard just wanted to kill me on purpose. Did he think I couldn't see it?" Chu Tianliang looked at Chu Xingping who died on the ground and laughed coldly.
"This … Aren't you thinking too much?" Chu Wenshang didn't comment on this. Indeed, Chu Xingping acting rashly just now was debatable, but to say that he wanted to kill Chu Tianliang on purpose wasn't logical. What benefits did killing Chu Tianliang bring him?
One had to know that the descendants of the ancestral family weren't just Chu Tianlu and Chu Tianliang. Unless all the descendants of the ancestral family died, Chu Xingping, a branch family descendant, would only be able to ascend to the position. Killing Chu Tianliang wouldn't bring him any substantial benefits. Instead, he would be hated and even chased by Chu Tianliang's father. Did he have nothing better to do?
Moreover, even if Chu Xingping didn't choose a good opportunity to act just now, with his strength, this was the most he could do. The result proved that his gamble wasn't wrong. If it weren't for his shadow blade attracting Chu Tianlu's attention, Chu Wenshang wouldn't have had the chance to follow up. Not only did Chu Tianliang not feel the slightest bit of gratitude, he even killed him without hesitation?
In an instant, Chu Wenshang felt a chill from the bottom of his heart.
Although it was said that a man must be ruthless, and mutual deception was the norm in the world of cultivation, it was really rare to see someone as ruthless as Chu Tianliang. Just because of an unreliable suspicion, he directly killed his own helper. Especially under the premise that his life had just been saved by the other party. Even if Chu Wenshang had seen all kinds of schemes, he still couldn't help but feel a chill.
A dignified early stage Gold Core expert was actually frightened by a mere peak late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. It sounded a little ridiculous, but it was the truth. Chu Wenshang shuddered with fear at the moment.
"What are you waiting for?" Chu Tianliang furrowed his brows. He didn't care at all about how great of an impact his blade had on others. His eyes only stared at Chu Tianlu. He had originally schemed to get rid of Chu Tianlu on this trip, and after experiencing what happened just now, he was even more happy to get rid of him.
Right now, Chu Tianlu was already surrounded by layers of Shadow Bind. As time passed, not only would the Shadow Bind's power not weaken, it would instead continuously strengthen. In the beginning, it only bound his hand, but by now, his entire body was completely unable to move. Unless Chu Wenshang took the initiative to let him go, the only thing he could do was close his eyes and wait for death.
"You do it yourself, the Spiritual Knowledge Fruit is mine." Chu Wenshang's tone was unquestionable. He wanted the thousand spirit jades that Chu Tianliang and his son had promised him, and he also wanted the Spiritual Knowledge Fruit that he could easily obtain.
"Uncle Wenshang, aren't you being a bit too greedy?" Chu Tianliang's brows furrowed even deeper. His first priority at the moment was undoubtedly to get rid of Chu Tianlu, but he didn't want to give up on the Spiritual Knowledge Fruit. Although the opponent's strength was at the early Gold Core stage, and he definitely couldn't compete with him, it could be seen that everyone should have a share, right?
"What do you want?" Chu Wenshang's eyes suddenly became a bit more vigilant. Chu Tianliang's performance of stabbing Chu Xingping to death with a blade just now had left a deep impression on him. In the face of benefits, this junior who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth might take a risk out of desperation.
"Everyone who sees it has a share, everyone divide it equally," Chu Tianliang immediately proposed.
"Divide it equally? It's just one Spiritual Knowledge Fruit, what's the use of splitting it in two? " Chu Wenshang flatly refused. The function of a Spiritual Knowledge Fruit was to raise one's spirit by one level. This was a matter of fact. Once it was split in two, it meant that its effect would not be enough to raise the spirit's level. At most, it would only be able to nourish the spirit, and the effect would be greatly reduced.
Moreover, their understanding of the Spiritual Knowledge Fruit was limited to hearsay. They didn't know what would happen after the Spiritual Knowledge Fruit was split in two. What if it was directly crippled? That was not impossible. At that time, who could they find to cry to?
It wasn't that Chu Tianliang didn't understand this principle, but it was rare for him to encounter the legendary Spiritual Knowledge Fruit. He didn't want to give up just like that. He rolled his eyes and said, "I can ask my father to prepare some more spiritual jades. Uncle Wenshang only needs to give me half, no, a small half will do!"
A Spiritual Knowledge Fruit could easily raise the spirit level of a Gold Core stage expert, even a Yuanying stage old monster. Moreover, he was currently only at the peak of Foundation Building late stage. Maybe he would only need a small half to raise one level. For this, spending a few hundred spiritual jades would be worth it.
"The Spiritual Knowledge Fruit is mine, there's no room for discussion. In the future, if we find other treasures of heaven and earth, I can give them to you." Chu Wenshang didn't back down. His aptitude wasn't high, and he had been stuck in the early Gold Core stage for many years. If he didn't have a fortuitous encounter, it was very likely that he would stop here for the rest of his life. At present, this Spiritual Knowledge Fruit was almost the only hope for him to advance a level. How could he just let it go?
Chu Tianliang didn't speak again, but from his expression, it could be seen that he didn't want to let it go.
Lin Yi looked at this scene from afar and found it somewhat funny. At this moment, the Spiritual Knowledge Fruit was still in Chu Tianlu's arms, but these two people were already about to tear each other apart, completely unaware of the approaching danger.
The confrontation continued. Although Chu Wenshang had made up his mind to monopolize the Spiritual Knowledge Fruit, he couldn't completely ignore Chu Tianliang. After all, the position of the father and son in the Chu family was really not small. If they really fell out because of this, even if he could rely on the Spiritual Knowledge Fruit to raise his strength by a level, his future days would be very difficult.
At present, the best way was to show a tough attitude and make Chu Tianliang retreat in the face of difficulties. At worst, he would give some concessions in other aspects as compensation.
However, at this moment, a strange change occurred. The ground under Chu Tianlu's feet suddenly trembled, and the layers of shadow tentacles covering his body actually began to show signs of collapse. In the blink of an eye, Chu Tianlu broke free and regained his freedom.
