Flabbergasted, Xiao Chen said, "Stop talking nonsense. Is the Netherworld Flower about to ripen?"
Having seen too many ruthless people, Xiao Chen felt that his trump cards were not enough. Now, he was even more anxious to raise the combat prowess of the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram.
Ao Jiao's nimble fingers moved quickly in the rain of light. She said in a bad mood, "What's the rush? If you keep rushing me, I'll crush this broken flower."
Naturally, Xiao Chen did not believe that Ao Jiao would really do that. He smiled and said, "Alright, I won't rush you. Just tell me how much longer it will take."
"Three days at most."
"Ka ca!"
Saber lights flashed, and blood splattered. After putting in a lot of effort, Xiao Chen killed a venomous python that was more than seventy centimeters long.
After extracting the Demonic Core, Xiao Chen did not spend any more time on the venomous python's corpse. The corpse of a venomous python that was not more than two hundred years old was not very valuable.
Xiao Chen circulated his Vital Qi and kicked the venomous python's corpse aside. A red Spirit Fruit appeared before Xiao Chen.
He bent down and gently picked the Spirit Fruit. When he looked at it carefully, he saw a few golden spots on the black leaves. Xiao Chen could not help but feel slightly disappointed.
This fruit was called the Metal Essence Fruit. It was a nice name, but unfortunately, it was a poisonous fruit. To those who cultivated poison techniques or refined poisons, it was very valuable.
An ordinary Metal Essence Fruit could sell for thirty thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones. However, aside from that, Xiao Chen did not have any other use for it.
The Metal Essence Fruit looked very similar to the Earth Essence Fruit. It was very hard to tell them apart. Unless it was an older Earth Essence Fruit, which was overflowing with Spiritual Energy, there was no need to distinguish it. The rest had to be personally inspected.
After leaving Shui Lingling, Xiao Chen used his Spiritual Sense to find ten fruits. All of them were Metal Essence Fruits. His luck was extremely bad.
"There is a similar fruit five kilometers to the north. I hope it is not a Metal Essence Fruit this time."
Using his Spiritual Sense, Xiao Chen was much more efficient than the other cultivators who relied on their perception and vision to find the Earth Essence Fruit.
Logically speaking, as long as his luck wasn't too bad, Xiao Chen's harvest should be far greater than the others.
The tip of Xiao Chen's feet gently pushed off the wet water surface. His body moved like a leaf as he drifted forward. The pitfalls in the swamp did not affect him at all.
After 10 minutes, Xiao Chen arrived before his destination. Only, the situation this time was slightly difficult. There were actually two Black-Horned Venomous Pythons that were almost 800 meters long here.
"Looks like there's a lot of hope."
Xiao Chen smiled. He did not retreat because of the difficulty. Instead, his fighting spirit became even stronger.
Chi chi!
The two Black-Horned Venomous Pythons discovered Xiao Chen from far away. Their huge bodies stuck to the swamp as they rapidly swam toward Xiao Chen, moving as if they were flying.
In the blink of an eye, the Black-Horned Venomous Pythons arrived five hundred meters away from Xiao Chen. They opened their huge mouths and spat out two streams of dense poison fog at Xiao Chen.
Insignificant tricks! Xiao Chen circulated his Vital Qi, and his blood surged. He clenched his fists tightly, and when the force poured into his fists, they exploded. "Bang!
Bang! "
Out of nowhere, two strong gusts of wind formed and blew the poisonous fog away, diluting it to the point where it was no longer a threat.
When the poison fog disappeared, the two Venomous Pythons charged over. They soared into the air and kicked up a large amount of mud. Then, their huge tails intertwined and swept at Xiao Chen.
The huge tail contained a tyrannical power. Everywhere it passed, the air would buzz and the void would tremble.
Xiao Chen's heart was as calm as a mirror. He drew the Lunar Shadow Saber with his left hand and slowly circulated the energy for the second move of the Dragon Subduing Slash, Soaring Dragon.
Xiao Chen's figure did not move as he carefully observed. He simulated the trajectory of the two huge tails in his mind, as well as the subsequent changes and possible attacks.
A strong wind blew, and his clothes and hair fluttered in the wind. In the next moment, the two huge tails would strike Xiao Chen's body.
Hidden Dragon in the Abyss, a gentleman plans before taking action. It is fine if he does not move, but when he does, the clouds in the nine heavens will scatter, and he will soar into the sky!
Dragon roars resounded endlessly. The might of the sound was vast and mighty. The blood in Xiao Chen's body surged.
A dragon-shaped heat rose up from his dantian and rushed to the Tianmen Acupoint on his head. Then, it quickly filled his entire body. Xiao Chen's eyes were like torches as he looked at the two snake tails flying over.
In Xiao Chen's eyes, everything seemed to be in slow motion. He could clearly see all the tiny objects floating in the air.
He could even feel the breathing and pulse of the world. With just one saber strike, he could merge with the world and easily chop the two hundred-meter-long Venomous Pythons into pieces.
However, this wondrous feeling only lasted for an instant. Xiao Chen could not catch it. By the time he recovered his wits, he could no longer find it.
"I failed again."
Xiao Chen shook his head slightly and continued to circulate his energy. Then, he took another step forward. Xiao Chen turned into a True Dragon. When he took one step forward, a long, thin crack immediately appeared in the swamp.
"Bang!"
Dirty water and silt formed a curtain above the crack and shot out. "Ka ca! Ka ca!" The instant the curtain soared into the sky, it was incomparably sharp.
The instant it soared into the sky, it chopped off the two entwined snake tails, causing a large scarlet light to fall.
A resplendent purple saber light lit up, and Xiao Chen soared into the air, looking like a True Dragon soaring into the sky. A dragon image flickered on the saber, merging with the saber. Auspicious clouds covered the sky as he soared into the nine heavens.
Under the ferocious saber light, the two Black Horned Venomous Pythons were chopped in half and fell heavily to the ground.
Looking from a distance, Xiao Chen's earlier actions looked like a dormant True Dragon suddenly taking off and rushing into the clouds.
Xiao Chen sheathed his saber and looked at the corpses of the two Black Horned Venomous Pythons on the ground. Then, he entered deep thought. Soaring Dragon was indeed very mighty.
However, Xiao Chen could not grasp that wondrous feeling. At this moment, he had only brought out about twenty percent of Soaring Dragon's might.
"I'll take it slow. Perhaps only through experiential training between life and death can I truly find that feeling. Let's go and take a look at that mutated fruit first."
He slowly drifted down, carrying a trace of anticipation as he headed for the mutated fruit with moving Spiritual Energy behind him.
"Strange, I clearly felt the energy fluctuation of a Heaven Ranked Martial Technique earlier. Why did it suddenly disappear?"
Two figures flew over from a distance. Their gazes quickly scanned the surroundings, searching for clues.
Since Xiao Chen used a Heaven Ranked Martial Technique, there had to have been an intense battle. This was the best opportunity to take advantage of the situation. These two usually did such things. When they felt the fluctuation, they immediately flew over.
The two wore gorgeous embroidered robes. One was tall, and the other was short. There was an eagle embroidered on their chests — the insignia of the Tianwu Domain's Ximen Clan.
The tall youth looked around and discovered Xiao Chen. He quickly rushed over and asked sternly, "Brat, what happened here earlier? Tell us the truth."
Xiao Chen was only a Medial Grade Martial Monarch. The two did not think that he was the one who executed the Heaven Ranked Martial Technique. Relying on their advantage in cultivation, the two spoke rudely, overbearingly, and extremely arrogant.
The Ximen Clan was one of the Tianwu Domain's four great clans. They had Emperor Wu as their protector. Furthermore, the two had pretty good talent and cultivation, so they did have the capital to be arrogant.
Xiao Chen was currently bending over to pick that mutated fruit. He ignored the questions of the two behind him and continued doing what he was doing.
After picking the mutated fruit and inspecting it, Xiao Chen could not help but reveal a joyful smile. After failing ten times, he finally obtained an Earth Essence Fruit.
Furthermore, this Earth Essence Fruit was quite old; it was at least a hundred years old. With Xiao Chen's cultivation, he could increase his cultivation by ten percent after consuming it, saving him a few months.
"We are asking you a question. Are you mute?"
When the short youth saw that Xiao Chen ignored him, he immediately became angry. Unexpectedly, a Medial Grade Martial Monarch dared to put on airs with them.
Xiao Chen did not panic. He placed the Earth Essence Fruit in his Universe Ring and turned around. He said, "Everything is normal here. Nothing major happened."
The tall youth was standing to the side. When he saw the Earth Essence Fruit from the corner of his eye, his eyes immediately lit up. He said excitedly, "Earth Essence Fruit! What did you put away earlier? Take it out and let us see. "
When the short youth heard the words "Earth Essence Fruit," a greedy look flashed in his eyes. He could not help but take a step forward. He said, "What is it? Take it out and let us see. We brothers will purchase all sorts of mutated fruits at a high price."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and stretched out his hand. The Earth Essence Fruit appeared in his palm. An alluring Spiritual Energy spread out, and the turbid air became much fresher.
"An Earth Essence Fruit with a hundred-year Medicinal Effect!"
The two Ximen Clan cultivators did not bother to hide the greed in their eyes. They could not wait to snatch it from Xiao Chen's hands. "Sou! Sou!
Sou! "
Many figures flew over in the air. They looked around, doing the same thing as the two Ximen Clan cultivators did earlier.
They were cultivators in the vicinity. When they felt the fluctuations of a Heaven Ranked Martial Technique, they quickly flew over. However, they were far behind the two Ximen Clan cultivators.
Soon, someone noticed this scene. However, no one was surprised. They only gave Xiao Chen sympathetic gazes.
The Ximen Clan cultivators were like Ximen Bao. They were all arrogant and despotic, looking down on others. Now that they saw the Earth Essence Fruit, Xiao Chen could only blame himself for being unlucky.
"Tsk tsk! A hundred-year-old Earth Essence Fruit. That is good stuff. Unexpectedly, a Medial Grade Martial Monarch managed to find it."
"So what? He ran into Ximen Yuan and Ximen Jian. He is just making things difficult for himself."
"Strange, how did this brat find the Earth Essence Fruit? The venomous python guarding the Earth Essence Fruit is not that easy to deal with."
"A peak expert probably passed by earlier and casually executed a Heaven Ranked Martial Technique, killing the venomous python guarding the Earth Essence Fruit and allowing him to take advantage of it."
When the cultivators did not find the intense battle that they had expected, they were somewhat disappointed. However, there was a commotion to watch. It added some fun to the boring treasure hunt.
Everyone watched interestedly, anticipating the expression of the white-robed cultivator after he spat out the Earth Essence Fruit.
The short youth, Ximen Jian, suppressed the greed in his eyes. He took another step forward and said extremely gravely, "Brat, you are in luck. This is a poisonous fruit; it is not worth a single cent.
"However, I cultivate a Poison Technique and need it. I will buy it for one hundred thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones."
Xiao Chen looked calmly at the other party and said indifferently, "Do you think I will believe you?"
Ximen Jian did not mind. He smiled sinisterly and said, "Sometimes, it is better to be stupid. If you are too serious, you will only suffer physical pain for nothing."
"Bang!"
A loud sound rang out. Right after Ximen Jian spoke, a Blue Dragon appeared under Xiao Chen's feet, which had been storing up energy for a long time, and carried him into the air.
