Chapter 860: Longevity Fruits

Yi Qin laughed loudly, and he revealed a domineering expression as he said, “Your thoughts are too naive. So what if I block you now? Let’s see who will obtain the Longevity Fruits and the seven-colored Auspicious Signs in the end.

“You may be strong, but with us three brothers working together, we do not fear you. If you have the capability, then come at us.”

The Great Qin Nation’s old man nearing the end of his lifespan frowned slightly. The old man in the other group, who was staring at him continuously, was clearly there to handle him.

Xiao Jian, Liu Ruyue, and the others had people eyeing them. Even without the strongest three princes here, the Great Jin Nation’s Royal Court had people that could firmly suppress them.

Ying Yue’s expression became sullen and uncertain. She had not expected the people of the Great Jin Nation to be so shameless, not even giving others a chance and blocking them before the Longevity Fruit matured.

Suddenly, graceful seven-colored lights flickered. The Longevity Fruit finally matured, and Auspicious Signs fell from the sky in the distance.

When Yi Qin saw this scene, he could not help but reveal a pleased expression. The three old men from the Great Jin Nation’s Royal Court should have already reached the vicinity of the Longevity Tree.

Just thinking of this, Yi Qin smiled involuntarily. When he looked at Ying Yue and the others, who had unsightly expressions, he gloated and said, “Good. The Longevity Fruit has matured. Princess Ying Yue, I’ll just stand here. Let’s see how nothing good will come of this.”

Right after Yi Qin spoke, a piercing alarm rang out. Yi Qin’s expression changed, and he turned his head to look over his shoulder. Feeling it was strange, he said, “With the three seniors’ strength, why would they send out an alarm on this level?”

The situation had changed drastically, so Yi Qin could no longer bother with Ying Yue and her group. He led his party away, rus.h.i.+ng towards the Longevity Tree.

Xiao Jian stepped forward and asked out of suspicion, “Princess, what’s with this bunch of people?”

Ying Yue thought for a moment and quickly made a decision. She said, “It looks like they ran into trouble. Come, let’s follow them.”

The Great Jin Nation’s originally domineering and unreasonable Royal Court had suddenly changed its stance and turned around to leave.

Naturally, Ying Yue and the others could not let this opportunity pa.s.s. They quickly followed behind and went over as well.

For some reason, Liu Ruyue’s heart thumped very hard. She thought of a wild possibility, basing it on just the gaze that she felt earlier.

She never doubted the truth of that gaze. Even though the Superior Grade Martial Sage did not believe that anyone could travel in the sky of the Sky Dome Immortal Realm, she never doubted. She was certain that the owner of this gaze had stood in the nine heavens, that he had given her a meaningful look piercing through the boundless spatial storm.

Thinking of this, she sped up, expending the Quintessence in her body without holding back. Soon, she was running neck and neck with Ying Yue.

Liu Ruyue needed to know for sure in her heart. She needed to see if the master of that gaze in the nine heavens above, the person who stopped to look at her, was the person that she always thought about.

After a while, the people from the Great Jin Nation and Ying Yue’s group arrived at the Longevity Tree’s location. When they made out the situation, they were dumbfounded.

They saw a fatty collecting the seven-colored Auspicious Signs with a jade bottle. The smile on his face was even brighter than the light of spring.

A mysterious cloaked male was handily blocking the three grandmaster-level Martial Sages.

The black-cloaked man fought barehanded, using his palms as sabers to send out strands of saber Qi flickering with electricity. Hundreds of lightning flood dragons surrounded him.

As this mysterious man brandished his palms like a saber, the lightning flood dragons roared, charging towards the grandmaster-level Martial Sages and knocking them back.

No matter what the three grandmaster-level Martial Sages did, be it a combination attack or serial attacks, the black-cloaked man blocked them all.

When the fatty above saw this scene, he laughed loudly, feeling very pleased. Then he continued collecting the seven-colored Auspicious Signs at an even faster pace. When it looked like the Auspicious Signs were almost all collected, the three grandmaster-level Martial Sages grew even more anxious.

The party from the Great Jin Nation was stunned. The three bona fide grandmaster-level Martial Sages approaching the end of their lifespans had spent a long time cultivating to an unfathomable level.

Without a doubt, the three stood at the very peak of the Sky Dome Realm. Yet, today, even when the three of them worked together, a single person easily blocked them.

Where did this cloaked man come from?

“It’s over. The Auspicious Signs are all gone!” a youth beside the Great Jin Nation’s First Prince said with a pained expression. Their primary objective on this trip was lost.

These youths were young. They did not have to worry about their lifespan. Naturally, they did not have much use for the Longevity Fruit.

Ying Yue’s and the others’ expressions changed. The Auspicious Signs were all gone. This person was far stronger than the party from the Great Jin Nation’s Royal Court; they did not stand a chance at all.

The fatty chuckled and tossed the jade bottle filled with Auspicious Signs to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen extended his hand and caught the jade bottle. His lips curled up involuntarily. Now, when he looked at the three old men charging over, a cold look flashed in his eyes.

Earlier, he had worried that he would not be able to collect all the Auspicious Signs if he were distracted. So he could only put in all his effort into blocking these three.

Now that Xiao Chen obtained the Auspicious Signs, he no longer had to play nice with these three old men. If he did not deal with them now, they would be a source of trouble when the Longevity Fruits fell to the ground.

“Double Dragons Playing with Pearl!”

Using his palm as a saber, Xiao Chen executed the third move of the Dragon Subduing Slash. A bright pearl entered the chest of one of the three grandmaster-level Martial Sages.
