Chapter 156 Intense Struggle

Of course, if Long Chen managed to smell it, the others also all managed to . Their auras all exploded out completely as they attempted to overpower their opponents .

As for Qi Xin who was fighting with Long Chen, his eyes brightened and strange lines suddenly appeared between his eyebrows .

As soon as thpse lines appeared, that water blade in his hand seemed to come to life as it slashed at Long Chen .

Long Chen was startled and hastily blocked it .

BOOM!!! Now Qi Xin's water blade seemed to have had a mountain's worth of energy poured into it, causing Long Chen to be sent flying .

Qi Xin smiled mockingly . Without glancing further at Long Chen, he charged towards the cave .

Seeing that, Long Chen immediately understood he had been duped . And it wasn't just him; everyone else had been fooled as well .

Although he didn't know whether Qi Xin had been faking his anger, but he definitely hadn't lost his reasoning .

He had acted as if he had gone insane to fight Long Chen . That was because Long Chen had been a bit closer to the cave . Once the Profound Spirit Fruit matured, he could charge to it at the first moment .

Long Chen reacted and charged over at Qi Xin . However, Qi Xin had moved first, and so there was no way he could catch up .

"Gale Slashing Moon!" Suddenly a lovable cry rang out and a wind blade shot at Qi Xin . Once the Profound Spirit Fruit had matured, everyone had been irresistibly drawn closer to the cave .

Seeing Qi Xin was the first to charge over to the cave, Tang Wan-er gave up on her opponent and used her wind-attribute energy to increase her speed, shooting over like a bolt of lightning . Completely avoiding all the attacks behind her, she used a secret technique to attack Qi Xin .

Qi Xin on the other hand was completely horrified . That attack she had sent at him had been condensed from her full strength . If he received it without doing anything, even if didn't die, he would definitely be gravely injuring . He quickly blocked with his water blade .

With the wind blade and water blade collided, an explosion of energy sent Qi Xin flying . That terrifying energy knocked him hundreds of meters away .

He had immediately gone from being the closest person to the Profound Spirit Fruit to the furthest . That angered him so much he almost coughed up blood . Stabilizing himself, he immediately charged back, seeing if he could obtain another chance .

"Careful!" Ye Zhiqiu let out a cry . That was because Tang Wan-er had left herself open to attack Qi Xin . Lei Qianshang's fist had already arrived to smash into Tang Wan-er

"Get lost you gorilla!" A spear viciously smashed into Lei Qianshang's fist .

Lei Qianshang was forced back two steps . He was furious that such a good opportunity had been lost just like that . If his attack had landed on her, the Profound Spirit Fruit would definitely have been theirs .

"Die!" Lei Qianshang roared and thunderforce completely covered his body . Lines of thunder appeared on his fist as he punched at Long Chen .

Long Chen hastily raised his spear to block . But a cracking sound rang out as his spear exploded . Lei Qianshang's fist only paused for a moment before continuing towards Long Chen's stomach .

Long Chen was immediately sent flying by that explosive energy . But a strange smile appeared on Long Chen's face . Lei Qianshang's expression immediately changed .

"Stop him!" That was because he realized his fist had sent Long Chen straight into the cave . He was both shocked and infuriated, immediately chasing .

"Stay behind . " At this time Tang Wan-er had already steadied herself and her wind blades flew out, blocking him .

After being knocked flying into that cave, Long Chen took out a jade case from his spatial ring and quickly ran over to the Profound Spirit Fruit sapling, using a handkerchief to wrap the Profound Spirit Fruit and placing it into the jade case, putting it away in his spatial ring .

It truly had been a waste for Long Chen not to be a thief . From the moment he had been sent flying into the cave to plucking the fruit and storing it into his spatial ring, only half a breath had passed .

Long Chen stood next to the sapling . "Game's over . Do you still want to continue fighting?"

Lei Qianshang and Qi Xin who had just ran back immediately turned green . Yue Zifeng stopped fighting, looking at Long Chen complicatedly . Sheathing his sword, he walked away without saying anything .

"What, are you two still not leaving? Are you waiting for me to feed you or something?" Long Chen said, standing by the Profound Spirit Fruit sapling's side .

He knew that with the sapling here, this was the safest place . No matter what, those two would not dare come out to attack him for fear of harming the sapling . If they did, their lives would be taken as reimbursement, turning them into dead monsters .

Lei Qianshang and Qi Xin glanced at each other, both seeing the other's fury and helplessness . Now that the Profound Spirit Fruit had landed in the other side's hands, according to the agreement, they had lost . They could only admit their own defeat .

What had been an excellent situation had been completely destroyed by Long Chen . They hatefully glared at him, especially Lei Qianshang . That was the second time Long Chen had ruined one of his fights .

If looks could kill, Long Chen probably would have died a hundred times over .

Unfortunately, they could only glare . Other than grinding their teeth, they didn't do anything .

If they really did continue fighting, then this would no longer be a game, but a life and death battle .

"If you bet you must accept your loss . Do you want to be shameless?" icily asked Tang Wan-er .

Qi Xin took a deep breath and pointed at Long Chen . "Long Chen, I've remembered you . I'll make you regret ever being born into this world . "

The impishly smiling Long Chen immediately became cold, his smile disappearing to be replaced with icy killing intent .

"Qi Xin, be glad this is inside the monastery . If it was outside, I'd have made it so that you would never see tomorrow's sunrise . I'd advise you to put away your little pettiness and not invite a disaster on yourself . "

Long Chen was completely serious without the trace of a joke . At the same time, everyone could sense that profound killing intent from Long Chen .

Tang Wan-er's heart shook . This was the same Long Chen who had killed Zhao Wu . To him, it seemed killing people was a common occurrence that was nothing out of the ordinary . Just how many people had he killed before?

"Hmph just keep talking big . I've already said, I'll make you regret being born in this world . Just wait . "

Qi Xin icily snorted and left .

Lei Qianshang also glared at Long Chen . "Brat, don't fall into my hands later, or I'll make you live a life worse than death . "

Long Chen shook his head . "You'll all willful children . But remember, even willfulness must have its own limit, or the price will be extremely painful . "

Long Chen could feel their hatred, but he didn't feel as if he had done anything wrong .

The very first day they met, Qi Xin had ordered people to humiliate him, wanting him to kowtow in apology . That was an even more vicious humiliation than being killed .

That was why he had gotten Little Snow involved to fight Qi Xin . And Lei Qianshang was pretty much the same . He had ordered Zhao Wu to cripple him .

Later he had been even more insidious, launching a sneak attack and planting a thunderseed inside his body, wanting him to feel the torment of having thunderforce devour his body .

Honestly speaking, Long Chen hadn't borne much of a grudge, feeling that within this monastery, it was more like a game . For there to be winners and losers was extremely normal . There was no need to bother about momentary wins or losses .

But today, Qi Xin and Lei Qianshang had shown him that they were not the same . They would do anything, without holding anything back, in order to deal with him .

If it was just to deal with him and they came at him openly, Long Chen would gladly accepted any of their methods .

But if they were too excessive and starting using some despicable methods, then they shouldn't blame him for being pitiless .

During the battle of the capital, for some unknown reason, Long Chen had begun to feel a kind of excitement and anticipation towards slaughter .

That had caused him to feel a bit terrified . He was afraid he would become a bloodthirsty, murderous demon king, and so he had always been restraining himself since then .

But today, Qi Xin and Lei Qianshang's threats caused that murderous heart of his stir slightly .

"Ok, don't get angry because of them . The rules are extremely strict within the monastery, and they won't dare do anything stupid . " Seeing Long Chen's face was still so grave, Tang Wan-er drew him out of his stupor .

She didn't know why, but she didn't like it when Long Chen was like that . She would rather see him be the rascal, laughing Long Chen . That was the Long Chen she was familiar with .

Taking a deep breath, Long Chen suppressed his fury and put on a wronged expression . "Beloved sister Wan-er, how come I feel so wounded inside? I think I overextended myself in this fight; can you console me a bit? Let us conduct a clean and pure embrace… ah, forget about it . "

Long Chen had only just spread his arms when a wind blade began to quickly revolve within Tang Wan-er's hands as she disdainfully looked at him . Her posture was such that as long as Long Chen dared come over to her, she would let him have at it .

"Cough, it's just a joke! Don't take it so seriously," awkwardly laughed Long Chen . He touched his spatial ring and handed over the jade case with the Profound Spirit Fruit .

"Ok, who do I give it to?" Long Chen looked at the two of them .

"I don't want it . You two can split it . " Tang Wan-er hesitated for a moment and shook her head .

"Why?" Ye Zhiqiu was surprised . That was a Profound Spirit Fruit! It was something that involved their futures and they had even fought such an intense battle for it . Why would she give it up?

"Originally I only fought for this Profound Spirit Fruit in order to… well, uh, I already have a Silver grade Spirit Root, so even without it I have a high chance to advance perfectly . You two can split it . " Tang Wan-er paused halfway . Her face reddened and she glanced stealthily at Long Chen .

"Then many thanks sister Wan-er . I'll remember this favor . Long Chen, let's split it in two," said Ye Zhiqiu .

This Profound Spirit Fruit was extremely miraculous . It didn't need to be consumed at the moment of advancement . As long as you ate it before and absorbed its essence, it would automatically strengthen your realm so that when you advanced, you would have a higher chance of a perfect advancement .

Normally a Silver Spirit Root genius would leap from having a thirty percent chance of a perfect advancement to a seventy percent chance after consuming the Profound Spirit Fruit .

But if it was split in half, the essence would be split and the chance of a perfect advancement would drop to fifty percent .

But no matter what, even just that partial increase was an extremely great thing . That was why everyone viewed the Profound Spirit Fruit so importantly .

That was also why Lei Qianshang and Qi Xin's expressions had been so ugly when they had left .

A cultivator's strength was definitely important, but luck was also an important factor . And so this partial increase in chance could allow your future to change completely .

Long Chen glanced from Tang Wan-er to Ye Zhiqiu and shook his head . "You can eat it yourself . I can't use it . "

Both of them were completely shocked . They looked closely at him, asking, "Why is that?"

Long Chen was embarrassed looking at their intent gazes . He helplessly lamented, "I'll tell you guys a secret, but you must keep it absolutely secret . I'm actually an absolute peak genius . My Dantian's Spirit Root is actually the legendary… Dark Gold Spirit Root . "
