When the crowd turned a corner and stepped onto a new set of stone steps, everyone's eyes lit up! About seventy to eighty feet in front of the crowd, in the middle of a crack in the stone steps, there was a dark red spirit herb swaying in the wind.
The spirit herb was no more than a foot tall and had only three leaves. At the top of the spirit herb was a red fruit about the size of a thumb, emitting a rich dark red light.
"Three Leaves Red Fruit! A top quality second level fire spirit herb! "
Everyone's eyes lit up instantly. Even Chu Chen's eyes flashed with a hint of passion.
The Red Fruit was a very common spirit herb. Its effects were to clear the tendons, promote blood circulation, strengthen the body, and heal the bones. The number of leaves on the fruit varied according to its age. Three Leaves Red Fruit meant that this spirit herb had been growing for three hundred years, and its medicinal properties were already very strong.
The most precious thing about this fruit was that because it had absorbed pure flame spiritual energy all year round, it also had a rare fire resistance property. Once a cultivator consumed this spiritual medicine, their physical body's resistance to fire would greatly increase. It could be considered a very precious spiritual medicine.
This Vermilion Fruit grew in the gap between the stone steps, so it was very close to the group and was not considered a place of absolute death. Thus, when he saw this scene, a young cultivator in gray could not help but leap over the distance of seventy to eighty feet and reach out to collect the Three-Leaf Vermilion Fruit.
"Brother Qi, be careful!"
"Ah …!!"
Seeing this scene, the crowd cried out in alarm. In the next moment, the excited gray-robed man suddenly let out an earth-shattering scream.
Just as his hand touched the Three Leaves Red Fruit, before he could pick it, a dark red light suddenly burst out and wrapped around his arm. In the next moment, a strong fire burned fiercely on his arm. Following a crackling sound, a rich meaty smell wafted through the air.
"Fire Snake!"
Cries of alarm rang out from the crowd. Chu Chen looked over and saw a small snake about three feet long and as thick as a thumb coiled around the left arm of the gray-clothed man. At this moment, a strong flame erupted from the small snake and burned fiercely on the arm of the gray-clothed man!
The Fire Thread Snake was a fire-type spirit beast that was extremely difficult to deal with. This kind of strange snake that lived in lava and seas of fire wasn't very large. It was only a few feet long and as thick as a thumb. However, its body was extremely flexible.
When a Fire Snake was in danger, it could quickly lengthen its body by dozens of times, turning into a 'Fire Thread' that was over a hundred feet long and as thin as a strand of hair. This kind of Fire Thread was incomparably tough, and could not be cut by swords or sabers. It was also incomparably sharp, and with just a slight twist, it could cut an elephant into dozens of pieces.
At this moment, the fire snake coiled around the grey-robed man's arm. It didn't use its most proficient "line of fire" ability. It only released its own fire essence to ignite the man's arm.
However, when they saw the gray-clothed man howling in pain and tears, although they couldn't bear it, no one dared to save him. Otherwise, once the fire burned them, they would be in big trouble.
"Well, it can't go on like this …"
Chu Chen sighed and was about to help when he saw the disciple of the Sword Palace, Ren Baijian, sitting on the back of the Golden-scaled Unicorn, didn't move. He just raised his right hand and waved slightly. A bright white sword Qi shot out from his palm and instantly cut through layers of space and swept past the gray-clothed man's arm!
Whoosh!
The sharp sword Qi was unparalleled. The moment it cut through space, it cut off the arm of the gray-clothed man that was coiled around by the Fire Thread Snake.
With a muffled sound, the severed arm and the Fire Thread Snake fell heavily to the ground. In just a few breaths of time, the arm was burned into a pile of ashes by the intense flames, faintly revealing a small red snake.
Sizzle …
The gray-clothed man retreated rapidly as if he had been electrocuted. His left hand quickly pressed on his right shoulder a few times to stop the blood from gushing out from his severed arm.
In just a breath of time, the blood flowing out from his severed arm had already dyed more than half of his body red. At this time, his face was pale, and he stared at Ren Baijian in shock and fear. "You … why did you cut off my arm?"
The golden-robed youngster didn't answer, but a guard next to him snorted coldly and stared fiercely at the gray-clothed youngster.
"You don't know life from death! If it weren't for my young master cutting off your arm, would you have been able to escape from the Fire Thread Snake's entanglement? At this moment, I'm afraid you would have already turned into ashes like your severed arm! "
"This youngster doesn't know what's good for him. The Fire Thread Snake's origin fire contains the poison of the Fire Thread Snake. Once it comes into contact with flesh and blood, it won't be extinguished unless it burns the human body. The youngster from the Sword Palace cut off his arm to save him!" Someone in the crowd sighed when they saw this scene.
Seeing this scene, Chu Chen also frowned. The cultivators who had cultivated to the Spirit spring stage all had their own vision.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Ren Baijian's sword qi was not harming him, but saving him. After all, in that situation, decisively cutting off his arm was the best choice.
"Yes, the disciple of the Sword Palace really deserves his reputation. The timing of the sword qi was incomparably accurate. If it was one step later, the poison of the Fire Thread Snake's true fire would have completely erupted. Even if he cut off his arm, it would have been useless. At that time, even the immortals wouldn't be able to save this youngster!"
"Clean and direct, the timing is just right, and the speed is incomparably fast. The power of the Sword Palace really deserves its reputation!"
At this moment, even the black-clothed old man Duan Xiong, who had been smiling all this time, revealed a hint of surprise in his eyes. He glanced at the golden-robed youngster on the back of the golden-scaled unicorn and nodded slightly.
"He deserves to be called a young hero. Just that sword alone is enough to amaze people."
"This..."
Hearing the discussions of the surrounding people, the grey-clothed youngster realized that he had wronged Ren Baijian. His pale face revealed a touch of shame, and he bowed to him. "I was blind. I will never forget your life-saving grace. In the future, I will repay your kindness!"
"No need, I just moved my finger. What good things can a trash like you have to repay me with? I don't need your repayment!"
The golden-robed youngster snorted and glanced at him disdainfully. The grey-clothed youngster even had the heart to die. In the heart of this high and mighty swordsman youngster, a weakling like him was not even qualified to repay his kindness.
At this time, the Fire Thread Snake in the ashes slowly raised its head. The two bean-sized snake pupils on the triangular snake head emitted a cold light.
