"Yes!" Upon hearing Lu Hao’s command, the disciples from Xuanyue Valley immediately headed toward the cliff face, intending to seize the Heaven Reaching Fruit!
"Dammit!" Seeing how brazen and domineering the Xuanyue Valley disciples were, Dong Xuan’s face turned livid with anger.
Wei Lin’s fighting spirit soared. "Eldest Brother, these people will devour you whole. They’re more savage than the Demon Beasts, and giving in will only make them more aggressive. We might as well fight them directly!"
With a tap of his toes, he launched himself into the air and quickly confronted the disciples of Xuanyue Valley.
"If you want the Heaven Reaching Fruit, you’ll have to get past me first!" Wei Lin shouted coldly, his eyes bursting with an icy glint. He swung his sword, and a streak of cold light shot out! The fearsome Sword Qi was unstoppable, charging toward the approaching Xuanyue Valley disciples. Witnessing this, they acted immediately, instantly neutralizing Wei Lin’s attack.
Seeing that the battle had already begun, Dong Xuan turned to Long Chen. "Brother Long, you’re faster. I’ll leave grabbing the Heaven Reaching Fruit to you. Second Junior Brother and I will hold them off!"
"Alright." Long Chen nodded slightly and readily agreed. In this situation, he had no other choice. He could sense how extraordinary the Heaven Reaching Fruit was; if the people from Xuanyue Valley took it, they would leave with nothing.
Bending his knees slightly, Long Chen leaped into the air!
TAP! TAP! TAP!
At this moment, his speed was incredible, so fast that it was impossible to track his figure. He moved as if on level ground, heading toward the towering tree on the cliff.
Seeing Long Chen about to reach his destination, Lu Hao’s eyes narrowed, his gaze locking onto him. "Kid, that Heaven Reaching Fruit isn’t yours. You’re courting death by daring to compete for it!"
The words had barely left his lips when Lu Hao stomped hard, launching himself toward Long Chen.
Sensing danger, Long Chen sped up instantly. At this moment, his Wind Control Skill was being used with such divine mastery that it had reached the peak of perfection!
Lu Hao was momentarily stunned. He was dumbfounded, never imagining that even with his level of cultivation strength, Long Chen would still leave him in the dust. The thought made Lu Hao’s blood boil.
By now, Long Chen had reached the towering tree. Up close, the golden glow from the Heaven Reaching Fruit was even more dazzling. Long Chen glanced at it, feeling a magical force beckoning him. What is the use of this Heaven Reaching Fruit? I’ve only heard that consuming it is greatly beneficial, but I don’t know its specific effects. The more I wonder, the more I want to find out.
With a light leap, he arrived in front of the Heaven Reaching Fruit. Just as he was about to pick it, a thunderous shout rang out. "Dare to touch what’s mine? You’re courting death!"
Following the voice, a powerful gust of wind rushed toward Long Chen! He had no choice but to counter with his palm. As their palms collided, a ripple of energy spread outward from the point of impact. Long Chen stumbled several steps backward, while Lu Hao remained motionless.
When he turned and saw the glistening golden Heaven Reaching Fruit, his eyes lit up. "This Heaven Reaching Fruit is all mine! It can only be mine! None of you will get your hands on it! Hahaha—" Lu Hao laughed manically.
Just as he was about to claim the Heaven Reaching Fruit, a figure appeared before him, striking directly at Lu Hao’s chest with an explosive palm! Lu Hao’s expression shifted slightly. Facing the sudden attack, he could only dodge to the side. His attempt to pick the fruit had been interrupted by Long Chen, infuriating him to no end.
His cold gaze fixed on Long Chen. "Kid, you’re seeking death!"
Long Chen smiled faintly. "It’s not yet certain who will die. It’s too early to say that."
"Then I’ll send you on your way right now!" Lu Hao roared, immediately launching an attack.
The full power of the War King Realm Third Level erupted at that moment! A terrifying pressure instantly enveloped Long Chen, weighing him down.
Faced with Lu Hao’s attack and the immense pressure, Long Chen’s expression remained as calm as still water. With a single jolt of his body, the pressure that had enveloped him shattered.
Fourth Stage Coiling Dragon Seal!
As the Divine Demon Ancestral Dragon Formula circulated, Long Chen’s strength instantly surged to the Seventh Layer of the War Ancestor Realm!
Simultaneously, Lu Hao’s cultivation was suppressed, dropping from the War King Realm Third Level to the Ninth Layer of the War Ancestor Realm!
The abrupt suppression left Lu Hao completely stunned. What in the world is happening?! How is this kid so unnatural?! How did he do it?
A storm of questions flooded Lu Hao’s mind. However, before he could figure it out, Long Chen had already jabbed two fingers toward his chest!
Furious Thunder Finger!
A bolt of lightning coiled around his fingers, carrying devastating power.
