CHAPTER 497 - Death
Turn from guest to host
"Young Master Wu Ming, that's not what you told Elder Meng previously, right?"
Ning Qi smiled faintly.
Lifeless Thorn frowned in surprise. Looking at Ning Qi indifferently, he said, "What I say to Meng Qingling is my business. What I say to you now is your business. Don't you want to save your master? Then bring me fifty Dragon Blood Fruits and I'll let him go. "
With that, he smiled and flipped his palm. The Dragon Blood Fruit disappeared.
Hearing this, Chi Jin's lips curled into a sinister smile.
Originally, Wu Hu and the others had been shocked that Ning Qi had taken out a single Dragonblood Fruit. When they heard Lifeless Thorn ask for 50 more, their jaws dropped.
Hua Wushang looked at Ning Qi gloatingly. "So, Grandmaster already knew that Jing Wuming did not intend to let Shentu Yuanba go. As his disciple, you have walked right into his trap!"
It was obvious that even the leader of the Cloud Rising Clan might not be able to produce 50 Dragon Blood Fruits. How could Ning Qi possibly have them?
Nu Tao slightly squinted his eyes, the corner of his mouth seemed to carry a faint smile.
"Fifty Dragon Blood Fruits … So, that fellow was lying when he told Elder Meng that he would release my teacher as long as I gave him a single Dragon Blood Fruit. I bet that he wasn't just toying with me when he asked me to accompany the tribute team here …"
Thinking of this, Ning Qi's mind swept over the two Supreme Dragon Slaying Bullets lying quietly in the space bag, and his confidence increased a little.
Ning Qi smiled and said, "I do have 50 Dragon Blood Fruits, but why should I give them to you?"
"What?"
"He really has fifty Dragon Blood Fruits?"
"Are you kidding me?"
"From his expression, it doesn't seem like he's faking it."
"This kid really found so many Dragon Blood Fruits in the Dry Bones Forbidden Land?"
Nu Tao suspiciously looked at Ning Qi.
Hua Wushang didn't want to believe it and blurted out, "You're talking nonsense!"
No one was in the mood to pay attention to him. They all stared blankly at Ning Qi.
Lifeless Thorn frowned, coldly glaring at Ning Qi. Ning Qi's expression remained unchanged as he smiled faintly.
At this moment, Ning Qi felt a force probing his body. He smiled in his heart. The other party had taken the bait.
Sure enough, Jing Wuming took two steps forward after failing to find any traces of a Universe Ring on Ning Qi's body. He was a head taller than Ning Qi, and he looked down at Ning Qi from above. In a cold voice, he asked, "You are merely a seven star Dou Huang. How did you manage to find fifty Dragon Blood Fruits in the Withered Bones Forbidden Land?"
"Young Master, he must be lying. Let me eat him!"
Chi Jin took a step forward and glared at Ning Qi fiercely.
The surging aura was like a tidal wave crashing towards everyone.
Wu Hu and the other managing elders, with the exception of Lin Deng, all took a step back involuntarily before they could withstand Chi Jin's aura.
Lifeless Thorn coldly glared at Crimson Gold, startling Crimson Gold, who turned away with an ugly expression.
Following which, Lifeless Thorn quietly watched Ning Qi, waiting for his answer.
Ning Qi laughed coldly in his heart and said indifferently, "How I obtain the Dragon Blood Fruit is my business."
"That kid is trying to provoke Lifeless Thorn!"
Wu Hu looked at Ning Qi uneasily, desperately trying to signal him with his eyes.
"Elder Nu Tao, hurry up and tell him to shut up. If Lifeless Thorn gets angry, we'll all die here," Shi Feng said.
Lin Deng couldn't help but transmit his voice to Nu Tao.
Nu Tao narrowed his eyes. It was unknown whether or not he had heard Lin Deng's Voice Transmission. Seeing this, Lin Deng could only watch Lifeless Thorn's reaction.
Smiling, Lifeless Thorn released a berserk killing intent that locked onto Ning Qi. "Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Die? Of course I'm afraid of death. "
Ning Qi said seriously.
After pausing for a moment, a hint of pride flashed in Lifeless Thorn's eyes. He then continued, "However, I'd rather die standing than live kneeling. Lifeless Thorn, either you kill me or you keep your promise to take that Dragonblood Fruit and release my master."
He would rather die standing than live kneeling!
The way Nu Tao looked at Ning Qi slightly changed. Now, he seemed to understand Ning Qi's character.
"He is probably the only Dou Huang who can say such words in front of Jing Wu Ming …"
Wu Hu thought to himself in shock.
Hua Xi Ri and Hua Wushang exchanged a glance. Then, Hua Xi Ri sent a Voice Transmission, "This kid is just bluffing. With Jing Wu Ming's personality, he's dead for sure."
"I hope so."
Hua Wushang nodded.
He didn't believe Ning Qi's nonsense.
Who would rather die standing than live on their knees?
Elder Shentu should have no regrets even if he died, Xia Bing thought to herself as she gazed at Ning Qi.
Xia Bing looked at Ning Qi with a glimmer in her eyes as she thought to herself.
Lifeless Thorn stared at Ning Qi for the time it took to brew a cup of tea. Everyone grew nervous. Just as everyone thought that Lifeless Thorn was about to attack Ning Qi, however, Lifeless Thorn said indifferently, "Your master killed three of my Purple Thorn Dragons and is currently imprisoned in the Draconic Penitentiary. With his cultivation, he can last another ten days at most. If you really want to save your master, hand over the Dragonblood Fruit, and I'll fulfill my promise."
"Fifty Dragonblood Fruits?"
Ning Qi asked, smiling faintly.
"Naturally."
Lifeless Thorn nodded.
"Does this ant really have fifty Dragonblood Fruits?" When Crimson Gold saw Lifeless Thorn earnestly negotiating with Ning Qi, she could not help but feel nervous. However, when she recalled that her Young Lord's intelligence far surpassed that of ordinary Dragons and rivaled that of the human race's most cunning clans, Crimson Gold had no choice but to trust Lifeless Thorn's judgment.
Thinking up to this point, Crimson Gold grew excited. If the Purple Thorn Dragon Tribe obtained fifty Dragonblood Fruits in one go, she would get at least one, right?
To the Dragon Race, the Dragonblood Fruit was a sacred medicine. No Heaven-Grade Medicinal Pill could compare to the Dragonblood Fruit. This was why the Dragon Race in the Dry Bones Forbidden Land was so powerful that not even the three Dragon Race's Patriarchs dared to casually enter. Otherwise, how could the Rising Cloud Sect protect the Dry Bones Forbidden Land?
"Don't even think about getting fifty Dragonblood Fruits. You broke your promise first. I will only give you one Dragonblood Fruit as agreed upon!"
Ning Qi sneered.
"You!"
Lifeless Thorn bellowed. He had never imagined that Ning Qi would be so disrespectful to him after he had spoken politely to him.
"You what? Kill me? I'm afraid that no one will be able to obtain fifty Dragonblood Fruits from the Dry Bones Forbidden Land in the future! "
Ning Qi retorted fearlessly.
Lifeless Thorn was startled when he heard Ning Qi's words. Although he had yet to confirm whether or not Ning Qi had fifty Dragonblood Fruits, he guessed that the Rising Cloud Sect had reaped a bountiful harvest this time. Otherwise, the Rising Cloud Sect would never have agreed to exchange one Dragonblood Fruit for a Seven-Star Dou Zong. This was a losing deal. He had only allowed Ning Qi to accompany the tribute team to see if the Dragonblood Fruit truly existed. He also wanted to lock that fellow's disciple in Draconic Prison. Only then could he quench his anger.
