Xu Mubai's cousin!
Chen Zong was stunned for a moment before realization dawned on him.
It turned out that Xu Mubai had not entered the Xuanming Small World, but he had given the Xuanming Token to his cousin. Xu Mubai was the number one genius on the Underworld Ranking and the chief disciple of the Xuanming Palace. He had the ability and authority to do so.
However, Chen Zong did not try to curry favor with Xu Mubai's cousin. Even if it was Xu Mubai himself, Chen Zong would not do so.
"Sir, this is the Xuanming Tree. There are seven Xuanming Fruits on it. My cousin instructed me to take these Xuanming Fruits to refine a cauldron of elixirs. However, the Xuanming Fruits are guarded by two powerful Xuanming Flood Dragons. My Xuanming Puppet can only hold back one of them. Please hold back the other one so that I can retrieve the seven Xuanming Fruits." When Xu Mulong saw the surprise on Chen Zong's face, he felt a little smug. However, he did not forget his purpose. Of course, he would not reveal the true effect of the Xuanming Fruit.
The Xuanming Tree and Xuanming Fruit were only known by a few people in the Xuanming Palace.
"As long as you help me retrieve all the Xuanming Fruits, I can give you a Primary Heaven Elixir as a reward," Xu Mulong added.
A Primary Heaven Elixir!
This was definitely a great fortune for a half-step Saint.
However, it was not enough to tempt Chen Zong.
What Chen Zong was more curious about was the Xuanming Fruit.
Although he had never heard of it before, Chen Zong's intuition told him that the Xuanming Fruit was not simple.
This was the Xuanming Small World. Anything in the Xuanming Small World was an opportunity that could be obtained. Naturally, there was no question about who should own it.
"Tell me the true effect of the Xuanming Fruit," Chen Zong said directly.
"I'm not sure about the exact effect of the Xuanming Fruit. I only know that it's a kind of sacred medicine. It's a supplementary medicine for some kind of Saint Grade elixir." Xu Mulong frowned slightly and said, "My cousin, Xu Mubai, instructed me to retrieve it."
As he spoke, Xu Mulong felt as though Chen Zong's sharp gaze had seen through him. He could not help but feel a little angry.
Seeing that the other party was not telling the truth and was even using Xu Mubai to pressure him, Chen Zong sneered inwardly. He was even more certain that this Mysterious Underworld Fruit was extraordinary.
Turning around and staring at one of the fruits, Chen Zong suddenly felt a sense of oppression, as if there was an invisible pressure pressing down on his glabella.
Danger!
Xu Mulong's strength was not bad, but in terms of perception, he could not compare with Chen Zong.
Combined with what Xu Mulong had said, the source of the danger might be the so-called Xuanming Flood Dragon.
"Since you are unwilling to reveal the true effects of the Profound Underworld Fruit, then let's rely on our own abilities." Said Chen Zong with a smile. His words were as sharp as a sword. Xu Mulong's expression changed drastically. His eyes looked cold and sharp, as if he was going to cut Chen Zong's body.
Unfortunately, Chen Zong was not afraid.
"Since you have the ability, go ahead and pick it." Xu Mu Long was determined to conceal the true effect of the Mysterious Underworld Fruit. His attitude was very tough.
From Xu Mulong's point of view, the seven Mysterious Underworld Fruits were already in his bag and should belong to him. How could he let others have a share of it?
Although Xu Mubai's explanation played a part, the truth was that one could only consume one Mysterious Underworld Fruit. The second one would be ineffective.
In the end, Xu Mulong wanted most of the Mysterious Underworld Fruits.
Chen Zong ignored Xu Mulong and observed carefully. With his outstanding eyesight, he could not find the Xuanming Flood Dragon. It was as if it had merged with the trunk of the Xuanming Tree. It was very secretive and he could only sense danger.
Chen Zong took a step forward and slowly approached the Xuanming Tree. At the same time, he was paying attention to his surroundings.
In other words, he was paying attention to the movements of the so-called Xuanming Flood Dragon and Xu Mulong.
Xu Mulong looked at Chen Zong with a cold smile. He wanted to see how Chen Zong was going to pick the Mysterious Underworld Fruit.
From Xu Mulong's point of view, one would not be a match for the Xuanming Flood Dragon if one did not have the strength of one of the top ten on the Underworld Ranking. In fact, if one did not have the strength of his cousin Xu Mubai, the other top ten geniuses of the Underworld Ranking would not be able to pick a single Mysterious Underworld Fruit under the watch of the two Xuanming Flood Dragons.
This confidence made Xu Mulong ignore Chen Zong. Instead, he acted as if he was waiting to watch a good show.
This was because Xu Mulong was certain that Chen Zong would not be able to get a single Mysterious Underworld Fruit.
As he approached step by step, Chen Zong still could not sense the Xuanming Flood Dragon's location other than the sense of danger he felt.
Shortly after, Chen Zong stared at one of the Mysterious Underworld Fruits. His gaze seemed to have substance. Traces of aura spread out and locked onto the Mysterious Underworld Fruit.
In an instant, Chen Zong felt an extremely cold aura spread out and locked onto him from afar. It was as if it wanted to freeze him.
Chen Zong's hair stood on end. He stopped in his tracks. His eyes flickered with an extremely sharp light. Through the Mysterious Underworld Fruit, he vaguely saw a pair of cold, emotionless eyes.
Those eyes caused Chen Zong's muscles to stiffen for no reason. A chill rose from the bottom of his feet and rushed up his spine to his head.
It was terrifying!
However, Chen Zong only found one Xuanming Flood Dragon, not two. Perhaps the other one was hiding somewhere else.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Zong regained his composure. With such a powerful exotic beast guarding it, the Mysterious Underworld Fruit was even more extraordinary. He had to get it.
As for what effect it had, he had to get it first.
Step by step, Chen Zong continued to walk forward, getting closer and closer. However, the Xuanming Flood Dragon did not move. Its pair of cold, emotionless eyes stared at Chen Zong. Its cold, oppressive aura had locked onto him.
It seemed to be waiting for Chen Zong to make a move.
Chen Zong paid attention to the Xuanming Flood Dragon while paying attention to other movements around him. At the same time, he stared at the Mysterious Underworld Fruit.
Close!
Make a move!
In that instant, his right hand reached out, his five fingers slightly spread open. Like a heavenly dragon's claw, his hand drew an incomparably mysterious trajectory. It was as smooth as flowing water, as if it were made by nature. He wanted to grab the Mysterious Underworld Fruit in his hand.
Just as Chen Zong's hand was about to touch the Mysterious Underworld Fruit, the hidden Xuanming Flood Dragon moved.
When it was still, it was like a statue, motionless. When it moved, it was as fast as lightning, incomparably fast.
Chen Zong's hand flashed, leaving behind a series of afterimages. He instantly dodged the Xuanming Flood Dragon's attack and once again reached for the Mysterious Underworld Fruit. However, the Xuanming Flood Dragon's reaction was even faster. It immediately chased after him, and with a shake of its tail, it smashed towards Chen Zong's chest.
Chen Zong was horrified. The might of this attack was so strong that it made his hair stand on end. If he was hit, even with his strong physique, he would not be able to withstand it in the slightest and would be heavily injured.
With a shake of his left hand, the Gilded Mountainous Sword was instantly unsheathed. It drew a beautiful arc of light, like a crescent moon falling from the sky.
This sword was majestic, mighty, domineering, and sharp!
This sword was unparalleled!
Slash!
In an instant, the sword collided with the Xuanming Flood Dragon's tail. The sword-light shattered, and Chen Zong felt an extremely terrifying force that could topple mountains and overturn seas. It caused the Gilded Mountainous Sword to almost fly out of his hand. His chest felt stuffy and swollen, as if he was about to vomit blood.
The force was extremely overbearing and extremely cold. It invaded his body in an attempt to wreak havoc. Chen Zong quickly used all of his strength to resist it.
Retreat!
In an instant, Chen Zong retreated dozens of meters before he could stabilize himself. His Qi and blood were in turmoil.
This scene immediately made Xu Mulong laugh out loud.
"My condition still hasn't changed. As long as you help me restrain the Xuanming Flood Dragon and let me get the Mysterious Underworld Fruit, I'll give you a Primary Heaven Elixir as a reward," Xu Mulong said again.
Chen Zong ignored Xu Mulong, who had a strong sense of superiority. Instead, he stared at the Xuanming Flood Dragon and thought quickly.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of thoughts flashed through Chen Zong's mind.
With just one collision, Chen Zong knew that the Xuanming Flood Dragon's strength was terrifying. With his current strength, he was no match for it. Moreover, the Xuanming Flood Dragon's fighting instincts were amazing. It would be extremely difficult to break through its defense and get the Mysterious Underworld Fruit with techniques.
After some calculations, Chen Zong was not confident.
Therefore, he would have to use the Asura Clone's power.
In the outside world, Chen Zong was worried that he would be seen through by a group of Saint Realm powerhouses. Therefore, he was unwilling to use the Asura Clone's power. However, in this place, a trivial Xu Mulong would not be able to see through him.
With a flash, Chen Zong approached the Mysterious Underworld Fruit again. His speed was as fast as lightning.
Xu Mulong was angry, but he was also gloating. Soon after, Xu Mulong also made his move.
As long as Chen Zong resisted the Xuanming Flood Dragon, he could let the Xuanming Puppet resist the other Xuanming Flood Dragon and get the Mysterious Underworld Fruit.
The seven Mysterious Underworld Fruits were scattered around the huge Mysterious Underworld Tree. There was a certain distance between them. The Mysterious Underworld Fruit that Xu Mulong chose was the furthest away from the one that Chen Zong chose. It was a few thousand meters away.
Although a few thousand meters was nothing to a Half-Saint and could be crossed in an instant, a few thousand meters was enough for Xu Mulong to react. Even if Chen Zong was repelled and the Xuanming Flood Dragon chased after him, Xu Mulong would have enough time to react and escape.
Xu Mulong's idea was good and his actions were fast. Chen Zong naturally noticed Xu Mulong's actions, but he did not pay attention to him.
Close!
Heavenly Fiend Force Field!
In an instant, a terrifying Evil Qi spread out and covered a radius of twenty meters. It directly fell on the Xuanming Flood Dragon.
The Xuanming Flood Dragon's body trembled slightly, and a trace of confusion flashed through its cold and emotionless eyes.
The Heavenly Fiend Force Field's strength lay in the impact and interference of Evil Qi, which weakened the opponent's strength. This ability was often effective against lifeforms with souls, but it was ineffective against lifeforms without souls.
The Xuanming Flood Dragon had a soul and was an intelligent lifeform. It was natural that it would be affected.
However, Chen Zong also sensed that the Heavenly Fiend Force Field's effect on the Xuanming Flood Dragon was not as strong as he had imagined.
The Xuanming Flood Dragon was only a Half-Saint, the peak of the Half-Saint Realm. The strength of a Half-Saint was not as strong as a Saint Realm expert, but its resistance to the Heavenly Fiend Force Field was at the First Heaven Saint Realm.
However, Chen Zong was also glad that the Heavenly Fiend Force Field was effective. Otherwise, he would have to use more of his trump cards.
The suppression of the Heavenly Fiend Force Field affected the Xuanming Flood Dragon, causing it to become disoriented and slow down. Chen Zong's sword slashed through the air, and a tyrannical force broke through the air. After repelling the Xuanming Flood Dragon, Chen Zong flicked a Profound Ming Fruit into the air and grabbed it with his left hand. A wave of cold energy quickly spread out, as if it wanted to penetrate his arm and enter his bone marrow.
