Chapter 551 Confrontation
The group of experts who had drunk Taiyi True Water earlier all abandoned the remaining water and chased after the two beams of flowing light. For a time, everything was in chaos. Everyone was green with envy, and they were like rabbits who had seen big carrots, making the entire garden messy.
For a while, many divine ingredients and precious medicines of a thousand years or ten thousand years had been stamped. They wantonly destroyed the rich vegetation.
Unfortunately, under such circ.u.mstances, most of the magical skills of the experts from the Human Clan and the Demon Clan had been restricted. That was why they could only rely on their physical strength. How could they catch up with those two stalks of spirit plants?
“Stupid and ugly humans, how dare you chase me?”
“Ha, ha, come on. A group of idiots, so hilarious…”
Fluctuating willpower spread out in the air.
Everyone was stunned.
It was a scarlet flowing light, the willpower released by the Blood Jade King Ginseng.
It stopped in mid-air inside a transparent s.h.i.+eld, with scarlet light around it. Its scarlet body actually grew out limbs, and its facial features could be clearly seen. It looked like a little man with beard on its chin. It twisted its body and made faces to mock them.
“Fatty, you looked for your fellows to capture me? Ha, ha, foolish fellas…” The Blood Jade King Ginseng said. When it saw Ren Xiaoyao, it immediately made threatening gestures and said complacently, “You’re too naive. Do you think a bunch of sc.u.mbags with less than half of my combating power can catch me? Do you still remember? You were scared out of your wits and fell into the cesspool of your own manure…”
Ren Xiaoyao’s face turned red instantly.
Such a disgraceful thing was disclosed by the cynical plant in front of so many people.
“So what? You think you’re smart? Hey, do you know that I s.h.i.+t in the Taiyi True Water that you drink every day…?” Ren Xiaoyao said angrily.
After hearing what he said, the faces of the others turned deadly pale.
“Fatty, what did you say?” Song Que was fuming at him.
“I took a big gulp of the Taiyi True Water in the pool where this da*n guy took a sh*t in…”
“Uh… Don’t get me wrong. It’s not the pool from where you drank just now. There are three similar pools here…” Ren Xiaoyao explained weakly.
Right at this moment—
“Whoos.h.!.+”
A figure suddenly sprang up as fast as lightning and suddenly moved toward the Blood Jade King Ginseng in that high place.
It was the Demon Royal Bu Tianjue.
“Foolish ugly man, how dare you want to catch me…” the Blood Jade King Ginseng was very smug. When Bu Tianjue’s hand was about to catch it, it did a flash move and instantly jumped up by half a meter to avoid him.
“Get down!” the Demon Royal Bu Tianjue shouted.
A jade jar suddenly emerged from his palm.
The jade jar emitted rays of divine light, and a terrifying suction force gushed out. It gave off a multicolored light, and instantly enveloped the Blood Jade King Ginseng within, sucking it into the jade jar.
This incident immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
Was he about to succeed?
Some people were secretly planning to s.n.a.t.c.h that jade container once the Demon Royal Butianjue managed to capture it. After all, it was a gra.s.s elf which was an item exclusive to Supreme Masters. Once they had it, they would have the chance to become Supreme Masters in the future. No matter what price they had to pay, it was worthwhile.
“Cunning ugly guy…” Blood Jade King Ginseng showed a horrified look.
It struggled with all its might, and its entire body flashed with a dense scarlet light. With a flash move, it finally escaped the terrifying suction of the jade jar and recovered its freedom. However, a crimson tuft of beard was sucked into the jade jar.
“What a pity…”
The Demon Emperor Bu Tianjue sighed and took back the jade jar at the first time.
“All my efforts are in vain, and I almost get a gra.s.s elf,” he thought.
He looked down at the jade jar and a hint of joy appeared on his face.
The thin beard turned into small version of the Blood Jade King Ginseng. It was finger sized, plump, with a jade-like crystal texture. A ma.s.s of crimson liquid seeped out of the incision, giving off a faint fragrance of herbs. Just a sip of it would make people feel that they were in paradise.
It was a great opportunity to get such a Blood Jade King Ginseng.
“Haha, old guy, you were almost caught by this group of ugly men, weren’t you? You were so smug that you lost a beard. Haha, you deserve it!” a scathing voice sounded.
It was another gra.s.s elf—the Sky Hammer Gra.s.s that Ren Xiaoyao had mentioned.
This gra.s.s elf was golden. It was like a wooden club and was very ugly. It could be barely described as human-shaped, since it had no human features. Its face looked as if had been crashed by a car, or a tomato smashed by someone. It had obviously not fully evolved yet.
“No one is uglier than you!” the Blood Jade King Ginseng shouted angrily.
“It’s my style, and I have my own characteristics, do you understand?” Sky Hammer Gra.s.s said, also angry.
There were already some people who couldn’t wait anymore. They all jumped up and grabbed at the two gra.s.s elves.
It was a pity that under the suppressing force of this heaven and earth, even a Martial Emperor Realm expert could only jump up 30 to 50 meters at most, so they could not reach those two gra.s.s elves. Ding Hao tried several times, and once again he almost tore off a stalk from the Sky Hammer Gra.s.s. He missed it.
The two elves were annoying. They were agile and able to use all kinds of escape techniques. They did not flee though; instead, they deliberately made fun of the experts from the two clans, driving them crazy. But no one managed to catch them.
After half a day, some people gave up.
They couldn’t touch them at all.
People then paid attention to the other divine materials and precious medicines in the garden.
For a while, they all pulled out gra.s.s and picked other herbs, just like farmers who diligently harvested crops. They swept the field wherever they went, not leaving a single gra.s.s in the once lush herb garden. Someone even plucked the herbs with soil and placed them into their storage s.p.a.ce.
This soil, which had produced countless divine materials and precious medicines, contained astonis.h.i.+ng nutrients, and was able to produce more herbs.
In less than half a day, the whole Divine Herb Garden became a barren place.
“Wow, we’re rich…!” Evil Moon touched his round belly. No one could tell how many divine materials and precious medicines were stored in the s.p.a.ce bag on its belly. It was the first one to dig soil; soon, the others began to imitate it.
Ding Hao was also happy.
“Fortunately I made a lot of s.p.a.ce storage equipment when I used to practice casting in the past. This time, I really made a fortune. More than 20 storage rings and more than a dozen other storage equipment were fully filled. When I return to the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect, I might be able to build a small Divine Herb Garden.
“Moreover, all kinds of magic herbs needed for refining the Mysterious Elixir of Magic Horns had been collected. After I leave this place, I will be able to refine the elixir to revive Ximen Qianxue,” he thought.
“These ugly creatures are too cruel!”
“They dug out all of our grandsons…”
The two elves were dumbfounded. Although they could escape the clutches from the experts of both clans, they were unable to protect the other divine herbs. They could only watch helplessly as this herb garden, which they had resided in for many years, was finally left bare.
The experts from the two clans were also unwilling to give up.
The two elves were right in front of them, but they couldn’t catch them. They could only watch them with coveting eyes.
After some hesitation, the experts of the two clans began to leave the garden one after another.
In addition to the Divine Herb Garden, there were countless treasures in the mysterious ruins. The time was limited, and they could not linger. They needed to go somewhere else to find their lucky chances.
In the end, Ding Hao left the herb garden with Ren Xiaoyao.
Since there was no chance to get the gra.s.s elves exclusively for the Supreme Master breakthrough, Ding Hao did not force it. His next goal was to try to find the divine materials that the Saber Master and the Sword Master needed, and then to find the legendary sacrificial altar and to light up the divine fire. He might be able to get the land of the Sage Battlefield. This was a big temptation.
“Why?”
Li Jianyi stood quietly in front of the temporary big tent in the third-stage area and looked at Tang Folei who was not far away.
Shouts could be heard from all directions. Flames were everywhere.
The protecting formation had been broken through.
Thousands of disciples of the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect were surrounded by many enemies on this platform. If they retreated further, they would reach a cliff. The dark colored inscription chain in the sky almost locked the entire Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect.
The sect fell overnight.
The disciples of the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect who were trapped in the square only vaguely knew that the reason why the sect suddenly collapsed was that the chief of the Sentencing Hall, Tang Folei, had betrayed everyone.
In the beginning, some people did not believe it.
But when they saw Tang Folei appear in the enemy’s camp with sword pract.i.tioners who had killed countless disciples the previous day, as well as Fang Xiaoan and others of the Heaven-Splitting Swordsmans.h.i.+p Sect, all of them got angry!
While the curses fell on deaf ears, Tang Folei walked toward Li Jianyi step by step, stopping ten meters from him.
“Why?” He sneered. “I’m just taking back what belongs to me. What’s wrong about that?”
“Something belongs to you?” Li Jianyi showed a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth.
“The position of sect master was supposed to be mine. You are inferior to me in terms of martial arts, apt.i.tude, and contributions to the sect. Why are you the sect master, while I could only listen to your orders and serve you?” Tang Folei burst out laughing and his face was distorted. Under the light of the torch light, he looked like a ferocious ghost. He said in a sharp voice, “I’ve been waiting for the opportunity to take back the position which should have belonged to me. G.o.d was merciful, I finally made this come true.”
“It turns out that you have been holding a grudge…” Li Jianyi sighed. At the moment when he looked up, he became severe and questioned sternly, “But with such means, even if you won the position, are you worthy of the care received from grand masters? In collusion with outsiders, you’re already stained with blood of fellow disciples. Do you still deserve the sect head’s position?”
“Haha, you really are naive. The winner takes all. Everything will be determined by the winner,” Tang Folei sneered and said, “Li Jianyi, as the head of the sect, you let the sect fall into a desperate situation, allowing countless disciples to die miserably because of it. You didn’t save the situation. You are the real sinner of the sect, so why don’t you commit suicide for your sins? Why wait?”
Li Jianyi stood with his sword and said calmly, “The Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect has only had sect heads who died in battle, not swordsmen who surrendered. Tang Folei, if you want to kill me and recapture everything, you can try with your own sword!”
