Chapter 116: Getting the Red-Veined Loquats

Under the eager eyes of five people and one python, one hour passed in the blink of an eye.

As expected, the surrounding qi began to riot, crazily rushing towards the red-veined loquats tree.

Seeing this, Zhu Huang looked at the swordsman and subtly nodded.

’Lin Mengmeng and Bai Guo re the hrem of the child of luck. I can’t deal with them for the time being but I can deal with surname Yuan.’ He thought.

At the same time, the swordsman drew his sword and rushed towards Shen Xu.

Similarly, Zhu Huang took out a talisman, ready to attack Yang Shi as soon as the fruits ripened.

’It’s here.’ Shen Xu thought with a lazy expression.

When he first arrived in the Canglan continent, he couldn’t stand killing people.

However, after more than one year of conditioning, his current mentality was no different from Canglan natives.

When necessary, he would not hesitate to kill his enemies.

“Does daoist friend Zhu want to break the agreement?” Shen Xu asked and Zhu Huang sneered.

“What agreement? Treasures belong to capable cultivators.”

“Well said.” Shen Xu smiled but didn’t draw his hammer or other weapons.

Instead, he focused on the loquats tree.

At this time, faint red lines had begun to appear on the yellow fruits.

When he saw this, Shen Xu nodded with a satisfied expression.

*It won’t be long. ’ He thought.

[Zhu Huang will soon attack you. Use a rebound Talisman.] Shen Xu transmitted to Yang Shi.

[Got it.]

Barely a breat later, a fruity scent filled the cave.

At the same time, the swordsman attacked Shen Xu.

Seeing the attack, the double pretended to dodge but still stayed within the range of the sword attack.

’Don’t blame me for being ruthless.’ He thought.

Although he and Zhen Yuan weren’t wearing their precious robes, Zhen Yuan had already inscribed runes on all their clothes.

When the sword attack approached Shen Xu, his robe glowed with silver runes and the attack was rebounded.

Soon after, the swordsmam screamed and his body fell to the ground.

“This…” Lin Mengmeng narrowed her eyes.

’I have never seen inscriptions like those.’ She thought.

“Bastard! How dare you kill my people?” Zhu Huang roared in anger but Shen Xu snorted in derision.

“Would he die if he didn’t attack me?” Shen Xu said while looking at the talisman in Zhu Huang’s hand.

Without another word, he also took out a talisman and threw it at Zhu Huang.

However, Zhu Huang had a system.

As soon as the system sensed the danger, it shielded the double and urged him to dodge.

While dodging, Zhu Huang also activated his Talisman and threw it at Shen Xu.

This talisman was a level three axe slash talisman.

Generally, even a golden core realm cultivator would have to evade it to avoid being injured.

However, Shen Xu was confident in Zhen Yuan’s inscriptions.

Rather than avoid, he allowed the attack to hit clothes, directly triggering a reinforced rebound.

Seeing this, Zhu Huang gritted his teeth and activated a level three earth wall Talisman.

Unfortunately, Shen Xu didn’t plan to let him go.

Soon after he saw the earth wall, Shen Xu activated a level three wood stake Talisman.

’Wood overwhelms earth.’ He thought, his lips curled in a mocking smile.

Zhu Huang’s earth wall survived the rebound attack.

However, it was quickly overwhelmed by the wooden stakes.

Seeing this, Zhu Huang retreated, his eyes narrowed into slits.

’That wood stake talisman was uncommonly powerful.’ He thought but didn’t have time to carefully think about it.

When Zhu Huang retreated, Shen Xu followed.

Soon after, Shen Xu activated a level three talisman and launched it at Zhu Huang.

At first, Zhu Huang thought the Talisman was just an ordinary flame talisman and planned to block it with an earth wall.

However, the system was more discerning.

Before Shen Xu’s talisman could reach Zhu Huang, the system wrapped its host in a golden light and the person disappeared from the cave.

“He escaped.” Shen Xu muttered with a displeased expression.

’Can Zhu Huang tell the difference between an ordinary flame talisman and a soul fire Talisman?’ He wondered but this was not the right time for that.

While he was fighting Zhu Huang, the red-veined loquats matured and were about to fully ripen.

[Grab as many as you can.] Shen Xu revised his earlier instructions.

[Got it.] Yang Shi replied.

“Fellow daoist Yuan…” Bai Guo called with an uneasy expression.

After all, surname Yuan was a late stage foundation establishment realm cultivator and had a powerful inscribed robe.

When he heard Bai Guo’s uneasy voice, Shen Xu sighed.

“I won’t attack you if you don’t attack me. However, the agreement is no longer valid. From now, everything depends on our own ability.” He said and the other two nodded in agreement.

’They probably hhink they have an advantage because they have two people and I am alone.’ Shen Xu thought with a wry smile.

Three breaths later, the loquats finally ripened.

Instantaneously, three people and a python moved.

Yang Shi started at the top while Shen Xu chose the lower hanging red-veined loquats.

In the blink of an eye, all the loquats were harvested and everyone dispersed.

As if afraid of being killed, Bai Guo and Lin Mengmeng rushed out of the cave.

However, Shen Xu didn’t follow.

Instead, he turned to Yang Shi.

“How many do you have?” He asked.

“Four.”

“I also have four.” Shen Xu smiled, taking the other four from Yang Shi.

“Master, lord Zhen is still fighting. Do you want to go out and help him?” Yang Shi asked but Shen Xu rolled his eyes.

“Brother Yuan is fine. Don’t worry about him.”

“How dare I worry about lord Zhen?” Yang Shi said and continued.

“Lord Zhen is hiding his strength. It won’t be good if the others cooperate to attack him.”

“Brother Yuan can still handle it.” Shen Xu said, looking at Yang Shi with a meaningful expression.

’Why do I feel my contract beast cares more about brother Yuan than me?’ He wondered but didn’t dwell on it.

“Yang Shi, we have something else to do.” He said.
