Chapter 500: Chapter 500, Enlightenment Fruit Obtained!
"Little brother, I’ll help you pin down the Thunder Giant. How about we split the Enlightenment Fruits fifty-fifty?"
The old Yin Wind Bladesman slightly moved his lips, transmitting his voice to Chu Ming. Although he couldn’t see Chu Ming, he was certain that he was near the Enlightenment Fruits.
"Not interested!"
Chu Ming replied indifferently, his body slowly moving toward another Enlightenment Fruit.
"How about sixty-forty?"
The old Yin Wind Bladesman transmitted his voice again. This time, Chu Ming did not respond, causing the old man’s face to twitch.
"Seventy-thirty, that’s my lowest offer!"
The old Yin Wind Bladesman was unwilling to give up. Currently, he had only one Enlightenment Fruit in his Storage Ring, which was not enough for him to break through to the Realm of Transcendence and become a Great Power of Transcendence. He needed at least two.
"Not interested!"
Chu Ming continued to reply blandly. By now, he was already next to another Enlightenment Fruit.
"Brat, don’t push your luck!!"
Upon hearing this, the old Yin Wind Bladesman’s face twisted with anger, his words filled with malicious intent, but Chu Ming remained silent.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
Chu Ming’s disregard infuriated the old Yin Wind Bladesman, who fought the Thunder Giant more fiercely.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Squeak!
As the whirlwind of energy surged in the sky, the sound of a branch breaking echoed again. The crowd pushed back the Thunder Giant’s attack and looked up toward the Enlightenment Fruits, only to find that three fruits had become two.
"Right now, he has three Enlightenment Fruits on him!"
The white-robed woman in palace attire closed her eyes, glaring with icy killing intent in her heart.
"We can’t let him get away!"
The gray-robed middle-aged man, who had been injured by Chu Ming, regained his complexion slightly and declared firmly.
The Thunder Giant seemed oblivious to the missing Enlightenment Fruits, relentlessly pursuing the group. Bolts of terrifying lightning, like violet serpents, streaked across the ground, leaving black ruts.
Boom!
The old Yin Wind Bladesman slashed coldly, striking the Thunder Giant back. Then he swiftly formed a saber with his hands, slashing toward the Enlightenment Fruit tree. If he couldn’t have them, then no one else would.
"Roar!"
The Thunder Giant roared, catching the attack with a sudden movement. His body split in two, shielding the tree. The saber light rushed into him, weaving through, only to be consumed and absorbed.
"I must hurry and pluck the Enlightenment Fruits,"
Chu Ming was growing anxious. Though the old Yin Wind Bladesman and the others were holding off the Thunder Giant, he feared unexpected changes.
Swish!
Chu Ming plucked another Enlightenment Fruit. Now four were in his Storage Ring, leaving only one fruit swaying on the tree.
The cold eyes of the old Yin Wind Bladesman and the white-robed woman in palace attire were like icy pools. These Enlightenment Fruits, which they considered theirs, had been snatched mid-way by Chu Ming.
"You guys hold off the Thunder Giant. I’ll kill that brat and we’ll evenly split the Enlightenment Fruits!"
The old Yin Wind Bladesman’s patched robe was further tattered by the Thunder Giant’s attacks, as if it could fall apart at any moment, yet his Sword Intent grew stronger, like an unsheathed long saber piercing the sky.
"Why should we trust you?"
The woman in palace attire struck with her palm. The sky darkened, and a giant blood-red Palm Seal shot out toward the Thunder Giant. She sneered at the old Yin Wind Bladesman’s words.
"Are you going to just let that brat take all the Enlightenment Fruits?"
The old Yin Wind Bladesman asked, his face darkening.
"I’m out. I’m leaving first!"
The green-robed swordsman slashed out, transformed into a sword light, and fled into the distance, his green robes fluttering.
The departure of the green-robed swordsman instantly multiplied the pressure on the remaining group, pushing them to the brink of collapse.
"Leave? Only to come back for the spoils later!"
Watching the green-robed swordsman leave, the woman in palace attire sneered and turned into a petal, flying off to the horizon.
"Hmph!"
The old Yin Wind Bladesman snorted at their departure, realizing that remaining any longer was pointless, turned into a blade light and shot skyward. The balance of power shifted in an instant, and what was evenly matched was broken in a flash.
Boom!
A terrifying lightning cage descended from the sky, targeting the remaining four. The destructive lightning filled the space, enveloping them.
Bang, bang, bang...
Two invincible Guiyuan Realm experts’ bodies exploded into blood mist in an instant, leaving only the two gray-robed middle-aged men struggling within the lightning cage.
Poof!
As the lightning intensified, the two remaining gray-robed middle-aged men couldn’t hold on and were blasted into a rain of blood, evaporating in the sky.
Swish!
Chu Ming had already collected the last Enlightenment Fruit into his Storage Ring, taking a deep breath. He knew the most dangerous moment was just beginning.
At this moment, the old Yin Wind Bladesman, the woman in palace attire, and the green-robed swordsman were undoubtedly watching nearby, observing everything.
However, with his Concealing Robe, the danger was reduced somewhat, yet he couldn’t be sure others didn’t have treasures to detect him.
Swish!
Chu Ming flew away, turning into a sword light. Even with the Concealing Robe, the fluctuation of Spiritual Power while flying could still leave an observable trace.
"They must be nearby,"
Chu Ming thought, speeding up to nearly half the speed of sound. The more he moved, the more visible his trace became.
Boom!
Suddenly, a terrifying blade light descended from the sky, aiming directly at Chu Ming. A hit would severely injure him.
"Finally found you!"
The old Yin Wind Bladesman emerged from the shadows, his expression cold, holding a long saber.
Swish!
In the blink of an eye, Chu Ming split into three, fleeing in different directions. But the blade light was too fast, slicing through two of the shadows, making Chu Ming’s heart race.
"Come out, you two!"
The old Yin Wind Bladesman shouted at a certain spot, his Soul Power spreading out. Chu Ming instantly sensed the woman in palace attire hiding, watching with a smile.
Swish!
She stepped out, smiling, "There’s no one else here. Surprisingly, that green-robed guy really left."
"Good, one less person to share the Enlightenment Fruits with!"
The old Yin Wind Bladesman replied coldly, glaring at Chu Ming.
