Situ Lei smiled gently and said, "This brat is already crippled. Earlier, he received a hundred moves from us. Now, he received two Heaven Ranked Martial Techniques. He will not be able to recover within a month."
The thousand-year-old White Nascent Fruit would ripen in only four days. By the time Xiao Chen arrived a month later, the White Nascent Fruit would be gone, and it would be useless.
This was also why the two were not in a rush to chase after Xiao Chen.
Unless one was a Martial Sage, no one could recover within four days from the Heaven Ranked Martial Techniques of two half-Sages.
No matter what, they managed to get rid of a hidden danger. Although they paid a high price, it was all worth it.
Liu Chen turned around and smiled. "Old fogey Situ, there is a Tricolored Flame Python guarding the thousand-year-old White Nascent Fruit. How about we work together later?"
Situ Lei laughed loudly and said, "That would be for the best. We cannot let others watch from the sidelines. Naturally, we cannot let a beast take advantage of us."
It was rather funny. The two had relaxed expressions and calm gazes. They did not look like mortal enemies who had fought for decades. After the discussion, both sides retracted their forces, no longer paying attention to Xiao Chen.
A white figure swayed as he descended from the sky above a small river in the periphery of the Savage Beast Forest, landing on the riverbank.
Xiao Chen raised his head and looked at his pale reflection in the river. He coughed intensely a few times, and blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth, dyeing his white robes red.
This time, Xiao Chen was severely injured. His internal organs all cracked; he had truly sustained internal injuries.
However, his injuries were not as severe as Liu Chen and Situ Lei made them out to be. Under Martial Sage, indeed, no one could withstand the attacks of two Heaven Ranked Martial Techniques and recover quickly.
However, Xiao Chen was an exception. His physical body had already reached the standard of a Martial Sage. Furthermore, his bones had formed an internal defense.
In terms of resistance to attacks and recovery, it would not be an exaggeration to say that a regular Inferior Grade Martial Sage could not compare to him.
Ao Jiao, who was in the Immortal Spirit Ring, looked at the pale Xiao Chen, who occasionally frowned due to the intense pain. Feeling confused, she asked, Xiao Chen, if you had used Soaring Dragon, you would not have suffered such severe injuries, right?
Xiao Chen swallowed a healing Medicinal Pill and squeezed out a smile on his pale face. "There is no need. My goal is the thousand-year-old White Nascent Fruit, not to fight to the death with two half-Sages."
"Continuously exposing my strength will only make the two of them more wary of me. Why don't I get injured at the right time and let them think that I can't fight anymore? At that time, I'll give them an unexpected surprise. "
Being chased by the two great clans for the past few days had left Xiao Chen mentally and physically exhausted. He had not been able to relax for even a moment.
The two Half-Saints were pressing down step by step, and it caused his mind to be strained at all times. It was too exhausting. If this continued and Xiao Chen kept putting on a brave front, not only would he fail to obtain the White Nascent Fruit, but he might even lose his life here.
Ao Jiao frowned heavily. She still said with some reluctance, "However, it is still too dangerous for you to continue like this. If they really steeled themselves to continue chasing you, you would be in real danger now."
Xiao Chen analyzed calmly, "That won't happen. The two of them fear each other. If I were no longer a threat, they would not have worked together to suppress me.
"Furthermore, riches come from danger. Even if they chase me, I will accept it. No one in this world can predict everything."
After three days, Xiao Chen's strong physical body completely recovered.
Xiao Chen, who was at the riverside, opened his eyes. His delicate face had a ruddy glow, and he looked spirited without any signs of illness.
Xiao Chen radiated a sharp aura, and his eyes were bright and spirited. His gaze was as sharp as a knife's edge.
After stretching his body, Xiao Chen took out a black cloak from the Universe Ring and draped it over himself. He looked into the distance and muttered to himself, "In another day, the thousand-year-old White Nascent Fruit will ripen. The White Nascent Fruit will definitely be mine!"
Xiao Chen stretched his arms and soared into the air like a huge bird. Just as he was about to land, a Blue Dragon image appeared under his feet.
Xiao Chen pushed off with his feet, and his body flew forward again. In an instant, he crossed a kilometer.
Xiao Chen moved like a black arrow as he quickly moved forward in the forest. After one hour, a hill more than eight hundred meters tall appeared at the limits of his vision.
The cultivators of the Situ Clan and the Liu Clan hid at the foot of the hill. They looked at the summit with fervent gazes.
The White Nascent Fruit was about the size of a fist. With such a long distance, Xiao Chen could not see it with his eyes. He could only keep extending his Spiritual Sense forward.
Finally, Xiao Chen saw the White Nascent Fruit hiding at the edge of a crack in the wall. The four black petals made the white Spirit Fruit look exceptionally eye-catching.
The Spirit Fruit was snow-white and as soft as a baby's skin. No one could bear to touch it.
Xiao Chen extended his Spiritual Sense and soon discovered the Tricolored Flame Python guarding not far away. The Tricolored Flame Python was covered in flame tattoos. It was not very thick, only a hundred meters long.
It could not be compared to the three-hundred-meter-long python that Xiao Chen once saw.
However, the bewitching tri-colored snake crown on its head was like an evil poppy flower, and it was emitting a strange aura. It reminded people that this was a genuine Ninth Grade Spirit Beast that could be compared to a Semi-Sage Realm expert.
Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense noticed Situ Lei and Liu Chen in the air.
The corners of Xiao Chen's lips curled up slightly. He pulled down his hood and crossed his arms. Then, he stood on a tree branch and waited quietly.
Before a storm, there would always be a period of calm. The wind would not blow, and the beasts would not cry out. Everything would be exceptionally quiet, so quiet that it would make one feel sad.
At this moment, the hill with the thousand-year-old White Nascent Fruit was undoubtedly in this period of calm. Situ Lei and the Liu Clan cultivators hid themselves in the grass and trees below the hill.
They held their breaths and remained motionless, cautiously watching each other. Everyone knew that no matter which side obtained the thousand-year-old White Nascent Fruit, the other side's clan would suffer a calamity.
The families on the other side would suffer a calamity and be expelled from Green Summit City. Their hundreds of years of family business would be completely destroyed.
No one could accept such a result. A battle with the other side was unavoidable.
The Clan Heads of the two clans chatted cheerfully, standing side by side in the air. Those who did not know what was going on might even think that the two were old friends.
Situ Lei looked at the slope and slowly said, "When the thousand-year-old White Nascent Fruit ripens, it will definitely attract many peak Rank 9 Spirit Beasts. At that time, the disciples of our clans will go and block these foreign Spirit Beasts."
"The two of us will work together to kill the Tricolored Flame Python. After that, the fight for the White Nascent Fruit will depend on our own abilities. Brother Liu, what do you think?"
Liu Chen smiled calmly and said, "Based on Brother Situ's tone, it seems like you can defeat me and obtain the White Nascent Fruit."
When Situ Lei heard this, his expression did not change. He put on a superficial smile and said, "Brother Liu must be joking. If I were really confident, your Liu Clan would have been chased out of Azure Peak City long ago. Why would I wait until now?"
Sly old fox! Liu Chen cursed in his heart. He did not linger on this topic. He said, "Sure, let's go with your suggestion."
Situ Lei had trump cards, but so did Liu Chen. If they relied on their own abilities, Liu Chen was not afraid.
As the two waited quietly, time slowly went by, and the sky slowly darkened.
Normally, the roars of all sorts of beasts could be heard in the Savage Beast Forest at night. Strangely, there was not a single roar tonight. Under the night sky, many pairs of eyes stared at the small hill. No one relaxed at all.
In the boundless darkness, time and scene seemed to freeze.
Situ Lei and Liu Chen stood side by side in the air, each with their own ulterior motives. The Tricolored Flame Python beside the White Nascent Fruit. The cultivators of the two clans hid at the foot of the hill like statues.
Even further away, there was Xiao Chen, dressed in a black cloak, leaning against a tree trunk with his arms crossed.
Everything formed a strange picture. All that was left was for the White Nascent Fruit to ripen. When a mountain torrent erupted and a storm arrived, the picture would shatter.
Amidst the silence, it was already midnight. Suddenly, the White Nascent Fruit's four black leaves glowed with light.
The black leaves were a boundless Starry Heavens. The motes of light were the twinkling stars in the Starry Heavens.
At this moment, the people who had been waiting for a long time could not help revealing faint excitement in their eyes.
The thousand-year-old White Nascent Fruit was about to ripen!
The Tricolored Flame Python guarding at the side moved its body slightly. It stuck out its forked tongue as it looked greedily at the crystalline, snow-white fruit.
Situ Lei's and Liu Chen's eyes lit up. Even people as astute and astute as them could not help taking a step forward. Even they themselves did not notice it.
The cultivators of the two clans hiding at the foot of the hill leaned forward, advancing five or six meters in unison.
At this moment, some ripples appeared in the quiet picture. Aside from the young, black-cloaked bladesman standing on the distant tree trunk, who remained as calm as before, everyone else in the picture could not resist the temptation.
All the people in the picture could not resist the temptation and took a step forward.
The motes of starlight on the leaves increased in number and grew brighter. In this boundless darkness, they became even more eye-catching. Xiao Chen, who was far away, could see them clearly.
The thousands of motes of light flickered, looking very beautiful. They overshadowed the White Nascent Fruit's luster, giving off the feeling of a guest stealing the spotlight.
However, everyone knew that this was only temporary. No matter how bright a supporting character was, he was just a supporting character in the end.
Suddenly, a fiery light appeared in the middle of the flickering motes of starlight. The light was like the blazing sun, instantly suppressing the motes of light.
It was like the sun quietly hiding in the night sky. When it released its light, even the dazzling stars would lose their brilliance.
How could the light of a grain of rice compete with the sun and the moon?!
The moment the thousand-year-old White Nascent Fruit released its light, it shone brightly. A vast and boundless Spiritual Energy surged out into the surroundings.
The multicolored light in the sky looked like snowflakes drifting down, filling the sky with auspicious signs.
"Roar!
The five-colored auspicious sign and the spiritual energy that leaked out from the spirit fruit spread far and wide in an instant. The powerful roar of a beast resounded throughout the sky and earth.
The ground trembled. As the peak Rank 9 Spirit Beast ran for its life, the shock waves actually reached this place in an instant.
"My Situ Clan disciples, heed my orders! Guard the hill! Do not let any Spirit Beast near!"
"My Liu Clan disciples, heed my orders! Guard the hill! Do not let any Spirit Beast near!"
Situ Lei and Liu Chen shouted at nearly the same time. The instant they spoke, their figures moved like lightning, arriving beside the thousand-year-old White Nascent Fruit.
