On the mysterious island.
When the cloth bag containing three Five Elements Spirit Fruits was thrown out by the Warrior Puppet, the situation immediately took a different turn.
Yan Qiyang, who had been fiercely attacking the Five-Colored Dragon Fish, suddenly stretched out his hand, and a streak of silver light shot out from his sleeve, heading straight for the flying cloth bag.
"Taoist Friend Yan, what are you doing!"
Luo Qingni's complexion drastically changed as she angrily shouted, her eyes filled with shock and fury.
Hearing her words, Yan Qiyang's eyes revealed a hint of mockery.
How important were the Five Elements Spirit Fruits, and how could Yan Qiyang let someone else get their hands on them first?
Such treasures related to one's own cultivation fate, of course, one could only be at ease if they secured them first.
"When the time comes, I will consume one fruit for my Core Formation, and offer the remaining two to the elders of my sect. They will certainly accept me as a disciple, bestow me with Dharma Treasures and Elixirs, and from then on, my cultivation path will be worry-free!"
He thought jubilantly, having already made plans for the ownership of the three Five Elements Spirit Fruits that were within his grasp.
However, what he didn't anticipate was that just as the silver light was about to hit the cloth bag, a green figure suddenly flew out from inside the bag and bit the incoming silver light.
With a pitiful shriek of a mouse, a silver-white rat was viciously bitten by a green snake mid-air, and both plummeted towards the ground.
This change in events immediately caused Yan Qiyang's complexion to shift dramatically.
Before he could continue employing other measures, the cloth bag had already been seized by Luo Qingni and slipped into her Storage Pouch.
"Taoist Friend Yan, do you have anything to say now?"
Luo Qingni, wearing a smile, looked at Yan Qiyang, no longer hiding her triumph.
"Bitch! Did you already know I had one more Lightning Mouse?"
Yan Qiyang's forehead bulged with veins as he looked at her furiously and shouted, as if he wished he could tear her to pieces.
Seeing him reveal his true colors so quickly, the smile on Luo Qingni's face also vanished instantly.
With a cold laugh, she said, "Of course I didn't know you were keeping a little pet , but I knew you, old thief, would never play by the rules. It seems I haven't misjudged you one bit!"
Having said that, she moved and immediately turned to run.
"Where do you think you're going!"
Yan Qiyang bellowed in anger and immediately retracted the Mountain Quelling Mace, which had been attacking the Five-Colored Dragon Fish, and hurled it towards Luo Qingni.
However, Luo Qingni didn't even glance at the Talisman Treasure coming at her, not pausing her steps for an instant.
Because at this moment, the Tortoise Puppet that had been protecting her actively stepped in front of the incoming mace, blocking the resentful strike from Yan Qiyang for her.
And just as Yan Qiyang was preparing to launch more attacks, the Five-Colored Dragon Fish, because he and Luo Qingni had ceased their attacks on it, seized the opportunity to counterattack.
A bubble-like globe of five-colored water was spat out by the Five-Colored Dragon Fish, exploding instantly beside Yan Qiyang, blasting him away completely with the powerful force of the explosion.
At the same time, a five-colored beam shot through the air, precisely striking Luo Qingni who had escaped a distance away.
At this moment, the Tortoise Puppet was still defending against the attack of the Mountain Quelling Mace, unable to offer any support to Luo Qingni.
But when the five-colored beam hit her, there was no scream of agony; all that was left in her place was a shattered wooden plaque.
And several dozen feet ahead, Luo Qingni's figure reappeared, continuing her frenzied escape toward the outside of the Hundred Fruits Garden.
This scene baffled even the Five-Colored Dragon Fish, its eyes wide with confusion, not understanding why its attack, which clearly hit the target, ended up this way.
However, Yan Qiyang, who had also survived its attack, saw this and his expression changed, realizing what had happened.
"I knew this woman cultivated an extraordinary technique, but to think she had such a life-replacing secret technique, I've really miscalculated this time!"
He was secretly shocked, but had no intention of giving up.
With a flick of his sleeves, he suddenly shot several earth-yellow orbs behind him.
Following a series of "bangs," a thick cloud of earth-yellow mist shrouded a large nearby area.
This was something he had prepared specifically for a retreat, made from collected Wutu Fiend Qi and certain special Spiritual Objects, possessing a strong interference ability that could effectively disturb the senses of Demon Beasts like the Five-Colored Dragon Fish.
Originally, he had planned to use this after securing the Five Elements Spirit Fruits for his own escape, but now he could only use it to deter the Five-Colored Dragon Fish from pursuing him.
Once freed from the Five-Colored Dragon Fish's lock-on, he immediately pursued Luo Qingni with a vengeance.
The two of them, one chasing and the other fleeing, soon left the Hundred Fruits Garden.
Only the Five-Colored Dragon Fish was left, attacking the two Puppets and two Corpse Refinements like mad, venting its rage.
After Luo Qingni and Yan Qiyang left the Hundred Fruits Garden, it wasn't long before Yan Qiyang, whose speed had skyrocketed after using a secret technique, caught up to Luo Qingni, and a fierce battle ensued.
"Yan Qiyang, I'll give you one Five Elements Spirit Fruit, how about we stop this and call it even?"
Inside a courtyard, Luo Qingni, while vigorously defending against Yan Qiyang's attack, called out, attempting to make peace.
"That's acceptable, but you must give the Five Elements Spirit Fruit to this old man first!"
Yan Qiyang replied without hesitation, yet his assault showed no sign of stopping.
Seeing this, Luo Qingni couldn't help but shout in anger, "Old thief Yan, do you take me for a three-year-old child? I'll say it one last time; stop now, and once we're outside, I'll give you a Five Elements Spirit Fruit. I can swear on a Heart Demon Oath to guarantee its truthfulness!"
