As Chen Hao and Chen Xue continued to go deeper, they encountered more and more cultivators. They saw countless small-scale battles, and most of them were people from different continents.
However, these had nothing to do with the two of them.
Both of them blended into everything in the world and drifted past like two gusts of wind …
"Eh?" When the two of them were about to find a place to recover, Chen Xue suddenly seemed to have noticed something.
"What did you notice?" Chen Hao asked.
In these few days, Chen Hao was completely sure that Chen Xue, who had stepped into the Intermediate Nascent Soul Stage, was more than 30% stronger than him in terms of perception ability. Chen Hao's current perception ability limit of 500 miles was already very heaven-defying. Even compared to a super genius at the Half-step Incarnation Stage, it was still slightly stronger. However, Chen Xue could easily sense the distance within a radius of 800 miles. 500 miles and 800 miles seemed to be only 300 miles apart, but if one were to draw a circle with oneself as the center, Chen Xue's perception area was more than twice of Chen Hao's.
"It seems like Duan Yufei and Xia Lanlan from the Ling Tian Sect are fighting with someone … I can't sense it clearly. They're about 800 miles to our left, and they're rapidly approaching us. They seem to be closely followed by four auras!" Chen Xue said.
Although Chen Xue did not associate with Duan Yufei and Xia Lanlan, the two of them seemed to have a good relationship with Chen Hao. Moreover, Chen Xue was familiar with their auras. In Chen Xue's mind, Duan Yufei and Xia Lanlan were people who helped Chen Hao greatly. Since she sensed it, she said it out loud.
"Let's go and take a look. Duan Yufei is not bad."
As expected, just as Chen Xue expected, Chen Hao said without even thinking.
…
Whoosh whoosh!
Duan Yufei and Xia Lanlan both had moderate wounds on their bodies. It was obvious that they had experienced a dangerous battle. At this moment, the two of them were flying at full speed.
Less than ten miles behind them, there were four cultivators from the Southern Sea Islands in hot pursuit. Moreover, the distance was getting closer and closer. It was obvious that they were faster than the two of them. These four people were the same as Duan Yufei and Xia Lanlan, they were all at the peak of the Early Nascent Soul Stage.
"Haha … Let's see where you can run to!"
The leading youth of the four actually condensed a pair of solid wings with his pure and vigorous True Essence, causing his speed to suddenly soar.
Duan Yufei and Xia Lanlan frowned when they sensed the other party's speed.
After the two entered Sky City, they were the first to meet and train together. With their battle prowess, they basically wouldn't encounter any danger in the periphery.
However, when the core area of the ancient city was about to open, they rushed to meet up with the disciples of the sect. They did not expect to find a 3,000-year-old Immortal Fruit Tree on their way there.
The Immortal Fruit Spirit Tree bloomed and bore fruit once every hundred years, bearing one fruit each time. Although it was not a spirit fruit that could increase one's cultivation base, its value was definitely higher than that of countless top-grade spirit herbs. This was because the Immortal Fruit was an extremely rare spiritual fruit that could increase one's lifespan.
In the eyes of young geniuses like Chen Hao, increasing one's lifespan might not be a big deal. However, for some cultivators who had reached a bottleneck in their cultivation and were nearing the end of their lifespan, it could save their lives. Even though one Immortal Fruit could only increase one's lifespan by three years, once a cultivator broke through to the next realm, their lifespan would be extended. How high was its value?
In the cultivation world, any spirit herb that could increase one's lifespan was basically priceless. Nobody would sell it. Occasionally, it would be auctioned for a sky-high price. It was impossible to estimate the exact price.
However, now, not only was the Immortal Fruit Spirit Tree snatched away, but their lives were also in great danger.
Although the two of them had already sent a message to the core disciples of the sect, distant water could not quench their present thirst. Seeing that there was no way to escape, the two of them knew that the only thing they could do was to risk their lives and pray that the sect's elites happened to be nearby.
Swoosh swoosh!
Duan Yufei and Xia Lanlan held hands tightly and looked at each other before they landed on a mountain peak. Each of them swallowed a few spirit pills and raised their aura to the limit.
"Hahaha … What a waste of my energy! You should've done this long ago! Don't expect anyone to come and save you. It'll take at least a few days to reach the core area of the ancient city. No matter how fast your sect's elites are, it'll take at least two to three days, right? Moreover, they're willing to give up their training in the core area of the ancient city to save you? Hahaha … "
After seeing that the two of them were no longer running away, the young man in the lead put away his True Origin Wings and said confidently.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! After a while, the other three people also landed on the mountain peak. The four of them split into four directions and surrounded Duan Yufei and Xia Lanlan as if they were prey.
"You've already gotten the spirit tree. Why do you have to kill all of us?" Duan Yufei said coldly, "If you want to kill us, at least two of you will have to die with us!"
"Die with us? Hahaha … Are you kidding me? Do you think the four of us will fight you to the death? I'll torture you to death no matter what! We have all the time in the world. Since we've gotten the spirit tree, there's no need for us to go to the dangerous core area anymore. Isn't it still cultivation there? Hahaha … "The strongest young man said disdainfully when he heard Duan Yufei's words.
"Brother Li, this woman is not bad. Although she's not a peerless beauty, she's still a rare beauty. You have to take it easy for me. Don't be too ruthless. Let me have some fun with her …"
"F * ck, I want to have fun with her too …" Another young man said.
"Are you kidding me? So you're all into this too? "
"Motherf * cker, I didn't expect the three of you to be so famous in our archipelago. Are women really that fun?"
"Hahaha … Brother Li, we naturally wouldn't dare to mess around in our Southern Sea Archipelago. But what are the disciples of the Eastern Continent afraid of? Women aren't just fun to play with. They have all kinds of fun. Only by experiencing it for yourself can you understand a thing or two. Of course, Brother Li is still a virgin. The three of us can have some fun with this chick. It won't be too late for Brother Li to try when we meet a beautiful virgin. Not only is the taste wonderful, it's also good for cultivation … Yin and Yang blend, hahaha … "
"Bastard!" Duan Yufei was so angry that his hair stood on end. He clenched his teeth so hard that blood came out. His anger was like a volcanic eruption.
Boom!
His True Origin, which contained monstrous anger, exploded. Duan Yufei was like a mad beast and attacked directly.
"Yufei!" Xia Lanlan's face was pale. Death wasn't scary. With the person she loved by her side, she would live and die with him. What was there to fear? However, what Xia Lanlan didn't expect was that the four of them were actually such scumbags. Seeing Duan Yufei attack, Xia Lanlan, who originally wanted to self-detonate to avoid being humiliated, hesitated slightly and didn't do so. She fought first. Even if she died, she had to make the other party suffer a certain amount of damage. It wouldn't be too late to self-detonate at the last moment.
Seeing the two of them angry, a trace of pride flashed in the depths of the four guys' eyes. This was exactly what they wanted.
Duan Yufei and Xia Lanlan's realm and strength were on par with them. If they really wanted to kill them, they would have to face the two's life and death counterattack. At that time, the two of them might really drag one or two of them down with them. But the two of them who had lost their minds were much simpler …
"Fight with them and consume their True Origin! Be careful of that woman, she might drag us down with her to self-detonate, haha … "
The leading youth transmitted his voice to the other three.
…
"These four are quite sinister …"
In the void, Chen Hao and Chen Xue were like two cool breezes as they stared at Duan Yufei and Xia Lanlan who had already fallen into a great battle below them. Chen Xue transmitted her voice to Chen Hao.
A distance of several hundred miles was a matter of minutes for the two of them at their maximum speed. When Duan Yufei and Xia Lanlan landed on the mountain peak, the two of them had already arrived. It was just that they weren't in a hurry to attack.
"It's not that the four of them are sinister, it's that Duan Yufei and Xia Lanlan are too inexperienced. It's the same for you … "Chen Hao said bluntly.
"How am I the same?"
"No matter what kind of battle, you can't give up until the last moment. Now, it's obvious that they already have the determination to die. This kind of situation can indeed increase their battle strength, but it's easier for them to fall into a real death trap. Last time, in the Black Wind Ancient Cave, you were the same … just slightly better than them. The more dangerous it is, the calmer you have to be. It's really unnecessary for them to lose their minds because of a few words from the other party. Otherwise, with their strength, even if they die, they can drag the two of you down with them … "
Chen Xue pursed her lips but didn't say anything.
"It's time to attack. You don't have to show yourself. Wait for me for a moment."
A few minutes later, Duan Yufei and Xia Lanlan were already in a life and death situation. Chen Hao knew that he couldn't drag it on any longer. Otherwise, if Xia Lanlan self-destructed, he wouldn't be able to save her.
…
Hiss!
Chen Hao's aura appeared above Duan Yufei and Xia Lanlan out of thin air. Before anyone could react, he casually swung his sword four times. Chen Hao didn't use the Platinum Sky-Splitting Slash. He only used the flaw of the Solitary Sword Technique to attack, raising his strength to 80% and containing the sword essence of the Second Heaven. Chi! Chi!
Chi! Chi!
Even so, the incomparably sharp sword intent instantly pressed down from all directions.
"Ah!"
Chi! Chi!
Chi! Chi! Four screams, accompanied by the sound of flesh being pierced, suddenly rang out.
Just a moment ago, the four people, who were in sight of victory, all widened their eyes and stared at Chen Hao, who was standing in the void. However, the blood spurting out from between their eyebrows made them lose consciousness instantly. They didn't even taste the pain of death.
Duan Yufei and Xia Lanlan, who weren't affected by Chen Hao's sword essence, also looked at the void with shock at this moment.
"Brother Duan, Miss Xia, I don't need your reward this time. I'll take their things." Chen Hao smiled and grabbed at the four corpses in the void. Immediately, their weapons and storage rings floated to Chen Hao.
"Be careful. Goodbye! "
While Duan Yufei and Xia Lanlan were still in shock, Chen Hao's figure turned into a flowing light and quickly left their sight.
After a long time, Duan Yufei and Xia Lanlan woke up from their shocked state. They felt like they were dreaming after surviving a disaster. No matter what, they didn't expect that such a shocking reversal would happen when they were on the verge of death.
"Is … is this true?" Xia Lanlan reached out to pinch Duan Yufei's face and said in disbelief. Chen Hao had only appeared for a few seconds, but the four experts who had forced them into a desperate situation had died just like that.
"We owe Brother Chen two lives again …" Duan Yufei murmured, holding Xia Lanlan's hand, his eyes full of gratitude and joy after surviving a disaster. In his heart, he was even more shocked by Chen Hao's strength.
