Chapter 407: Picking Fruit

Suddenly, a formation emerged out of the Starry Sky. The people were slightly startled because they saw that the tactical formation was formidable. The tactical formation was lightly covered by Hongjun, imperceptible from the outside. Someone had to be very confident to use this formation. It looked like the Blood Asura was out of luck.
Inside the formation, Minghe, who held the Anti-evil Axe, looked at the surprised Blood Asura and said, ”Hongjun, let's save some time. We should destroy him now. The Fruits of Stars of the Origin have ripened, it would be a waste to miss them. Let's do this quickly.” Everything changed fast and they did not have time for the Blood Asura.
”Ah!” Minghe shouted and waved his Anti-evil Axe. The axe, full of destruction and death, hacked toward the Blood Asura. The vital force of the Law of Killing and Law of Blood shone on the blade. This time, Minghe was determined to eliminate the Blood Asura with Hongjun.
As Minghe acted, Hongjun did not hesitate to use his chessboard. He chanted: ”The game is set, and everything within it is its piece. Attack!” Just as he finished, many stripes of silver wires emerged out of nowhere and rushed at the Blood Asura. The silver wires were moving eerily and, thus, were hard to ward off.
The Blood Asura finally panicked at the combined attack. Minghe's axe and Hongjun's silver wires had made him feel that he was in great danger. He had the same feeling before when facing a life and death situation. However, he was not sure if he could survive this time.
Thus, the Blood Asura could only fight hard. He fetched another Spiritual Treasure of Chaos, which was a bloodied umbrella that was a Low Grade Spiritual Treasure of Chaos. The umbrella covered him and temporarily protected him from the silver wires. Though Hongjun's attack was parried, Minghe did not stop.
With nowhere to hide, the Blood Asura could only confront his enemy. But he failed to ward off Minghe's axe with a broken Top Grade Spiritual Treasure of Chaos and another Low Grade Spiritual Treasure of Chaos. When the axe retracted, the machete had been chipped further. The umbrella also became dark and cracked.
The Blood Asura himself also did not feel good. Without his solid cultivation at the Late Stage of the Fate Realm and the aggressive Divine Laws he had been practicing, he would have been badly injured. He realized he would be worn out to death this way. Only by fighting back could he find a chance to live.
”What?” The Blood Asura gasped, and his countenance changed. The silver wires had coiled around him somehow. He was unable to move and his umbrella had also been broken through. He looked at the two people and discovered that Minghe had retracted the axe as if he had already won.
Minghe looked at the trapped Blood Asura and shook his head. He then closely watched the formation and found that it was not a simple Universal Life and Death Chess. Additionally, it contained the Great Way of the Puppet. The silver wires were avatars of the Law of Puppets, and the Divine Law waves were crystal clear.
Minghe glanced at Hongjun's chessboard and said, ”Hongjun, your chessboard is really amazing. It seals tactical formations and it's a Magic Weapon refined by the Law of Puppets. It can turn anything into its puppet. I envy you. Alright, let's finish this in case something happens outside. I don't want to ruin our plan and waste our time.”
Hongjun nodded as he started to refine the Blood Asura into a puppet. He smiled and said, ”Don't be. Your axe is awesome too. It resembles the Pangu Axe a little. You must have collected Evil Spirits from many shattered worlds. You really live up to the Rakshasa name.” .
Minghe did not reply. He fetched the Anti-evil Axe, while Hongjun took out his Formation Chessboard. Neither of them knew what each other's secret weapon was, but undoubtedly they were holding something back. They collaborated, but at the same time, they took necessary precautions. They might have to turn against each other at the final moment.
