"Looks like I need to find other disciples of the Tiger Howl Sect to figure out the reason behind this. They wouldn't chase me for no reason; could it be..." After leaving, Ren Pingsheng kept thinking in his mind. Eventually, he formed a vague guess, but whether it was right or wrong could only be verified by someone from the Tiger Howl Sect.
"Hey, there's a sound of fighting ahead; let's go take a look." While he was lost in thought, he suddenly stopped and looked up towards a certain direction.
"Surprisingly, they are all disciples of the Yunxing Sect. Why are they killing each other here? Strange, could there be some incredible treasure that has clouded their judgment with greed?" Ren Pingsheng approached and hid in the shadows, puzzled by the scene before him.
"Li Xing, how dare you attack us? Don't you know that you will be severely punished for harming your fellow disciples?" shouted a severely injured man in anger.
"Severely punished? Ha! Here, even if I kill you, who would know? Every time half of the disciples manage to leave this place alive at most. Do you think so many people lose their lives just because of the dangers of the Azure Wind Secret Realm? You're mistaken; it's because in the last few days, various sects hunt each other for heavenly materials and treasures, even turning on their own." Li Xing sneered, his words revealing the cruel truth.
"Besides, if I obtain the Elixir here, I can break through to become a Warrior Strongman. This little risk is worth taking. You can rest easy now."
"You dare..." The disciple of the Yunxing Sect had a look of terror on his face. Before he could finish speaking, his head was severed from his body. Crimson blood gushed out and splattered everywhere.
"Hehe, this Elixir is mine now. I didn't expect that soon I could also become a Warrior Strongman," Li Xing murmured excitedly, ignoring the blood splattered on him.
"Tsk tsk... I didn't expect to encounter such an interesting scene here. Fellow disciples turning on each other; how interesting!"
The voice came from behind a tree five zhang away. It wasn't particularly loud, but to Li Xing's ears, it sounded like thunder. He hadn't noticed anyone else so close by, indicating that the person's strength was far beyond his own.
Realizing this made cold sweat break out on his forehead; the excitement in his heart vanished without a trace as he paled and shouted, "Who is it? Sneaking around like that; if you have the ability, come out!"
"Hehe, I'm very interested in what you just mentioned, so naturally I won't leave." Two figures stepped out from behind the tree; it was Chen Kai and Qian Xin from the Tiger Howl Sect. He never expected to see them here.
"So it's him. I didn't expect that just after hearing about an Elixir, I'd find disciples of the Tiger Howl Sect again. Could my luck be changing?" In the distance, Ren Pingsheng saw Qian Xin, a familiar face from the Tiger Howl Sect, and muttered with a hint of self-mockery.
"You... are disciples of the Tiger Howl Sect." Upon seeing them appear, Li Xing's expression immediately turned ugly. He knew he was definitely no match for these two; he might even lose his life.
"Regarding the Elixir matter, will you tell us willingly or should I beat you half to death first?" Chen Kai asked coldly, his powerful aura pressing down on Li Xing.
"I... I tell you, let me go. The Elixir will be yours."
"If what you say satisfies me, it can be considered."
"This Elixir should be the Earth Spirit Fruit, which is rumored to be the main ingredient for refining the Earth Spirit Pill. It has the effect of accelerating the condensation of True Qi and breaking through the bottleneck of Warrior Strongman."
"Haha, it's actually this kind of thing. Brother Chen, it seems our luck this time is quite good." Qian Xin laughed happily upon hearing this. One Earth Spirit Fruit can produce at least three Earth Spirit Pills when refined. If luck is on their side, five pills are also possible, which would greatly benefit him as well.
"Not bad, not bad. It seems our opportunity has come. After we go out this time, cultivating to Warrior Strongman won't be a problem. Hmph, once we break through to become Warrior Strongman, the top three Inner Sect Disciples won't stand a chance against us."
"I've told you everything I know, so I'm leaving now." Li Xing noticed that the two were momentarily distracted and slowly began to back away, wanting to leave early.
"Wait, you can't leave yet."
"What? Didn't you just agree? As long as I tell you what I know, you'll let me go. How can you go back on your word?"
"Hehe, I only said that if you satisfy me, you could leave. Unfortunately, I'm not satisfied. Besides, with a rare Elixir like the Earth Spirit Fruit, I don't believe you would keep it a secret. Even Brother Shi from our sect can take action; what do you have to fear?"
Chen Kai said with a mocking smile. From the beginning, he had no intention of letting Li Xing live. The two were already powerful; now that they were attacking together, Li Xing barely managed to fend off two strikes before being pierced in the heart by Chen Kai's sword.
"You... I curse you to die a terrible death, hehe..." His face showed despair and a hint of madness. The chilling laughter was somewhat unsettling.
"How unfortunate; even in death, he won't let anyone rest in peace." Chen Kai's expression turned cold as he kicked the lifeless body far away.
"Don't mind him; let's go check out the Earth Spirit Fruit first. We don't even know if what he said is true." Qian Xin smiled at Chen Kai's reaction and then turned his gaze toward the cave.
The two immediately entered the cave with caution. It seemed they wouldn't feel at ease until they saw the Earth Spirit Fruit.
"Here, lives are truly worth less than treasures." Ren Pingsheng glanced from afar and couldn't help but sigh. Just from what he saw, five people had lost their lives: three disciples from Tiger Howl Sect killed by him and two disciples from Yunxing Sect who died here.
"Bang, bang, bang..." A sudden rumble echoed through the cave, accompanied by angry shouts and the roars of a Fierce Beast. Ren Pingsheng, who was hiding in the distance, was taken aback; it seemed that the cave was not peaceful.
"Damn it, damn it. I said that this damned guy must have known there was an Earthshatter Bear inside when he said those things earlier, but he deliberately kept quiet," Chen Kai and Qian Xin rushed out of the cave, looking somewhat awkward. Their clothes were disheveled and they were covered in dirt.
"It's not surprising to find a Fierce Beast with such a rare Elixir as the Earth Spirit Fruit. Just now in the cave, we were cautious because of the Earth Spirit Fruit and didn't dare to act. Now that it's out, this Earthshatter Bear is naturally no match for us," Qian Xin said with some excitement. The two had confirmed that there indeed was an Earth Spirit Fruit inside.
The Earthshatter Bear was a mid-tier Fierce Beast among high-level ones. Its attack power was secondary; its main strength lay in its formidable defense.
"Hmph, let's kill this beast quickly. I'm afraid if we delay too long, something might change," Chen Kai shouted sternly, clearly having suffered a significant setback from their encounter in the cave.
Both of them drew their swords simultaneously, leveraging their Movement Technique to unleash a series of chilling Sword Lights that continuously struck the Earthshatter Bear. Despite its tough skin and thick flesh, the bear was soon drenched in blood.
"Roar..." The Earthshatter Bear, at a disadvantage, let out a furious roar and unleashed a yellow aura around itself. Within three yards, sharp spikes over three feet long erupted from the ground, attacking the two.
"It actually used the beast technique 'Earth's Fury.' This beast is desperate; be careful," they dodged the sharp spikes continuously and found it difficult to get close enough to attack.
After five breaths, the spikes disappeared from the ground, and the Earthshatter Bear's momentum had weakened significantly. It was clear that it had exhausted itself. Chen Kai and Qian Xin would not miss such a good opportunity.
"Slash!" With an astonishing pressure from their High-Level Sword Technique, both struck the Earthshatter Bear simultaneously from different angles. Two deep wounds appeared, blood gushing forth like a fountain, quickly ending the life of the Earthshatter Bear.
"Finally dealt with this beast. Although it took some effort, it's worth it for the Earth Spirit Fruit," Chen Kai rarely showed a smile on his cold face.
"Yes, with the Earth Spirit Fruit, refining the Earth Spirit Pill will be an easy task. Warrior Strongman, our success is just around the corner," Qian Xin nodded in agreement, his expression fervent.
"Alright, let's quickly get our hands on the Earth Spirit Fruit and leave immediately." Just as they were about to turn and act, their expressions shifted and they paused again.
"Heh heh, as they say 'those who see treasures have a share.' I wonder if this Earth Spirit Fruit would mind sharing some with me?" As Chen Kai and Qian Xin prepared to enter the cave to harvest the Earth Spirit Fruit, Ren Pingsheng stepped out leisurely from the shadows without caring about the unpleasant expressions on Tiger Howl Sect's faces.
"Ren Pingsheng, it's actually you. Haha, I never expected to meet you here." Qian Xin's previously unpleasant expression turned into one of overwhelming joy upon recognizing the person.
"You didn't mistake him, he is indeed Ren Pingsheng?" Chen Kai's face flushed, and his voice trembled slightly.
"That's right, it's him. He actually came to us, this time it will be effortless."
"Heh, I also didn't expect to run into an acquaintance here, what a coincidence. However, your earlier words sounded very familiar; it seems they were also spoken by your disciples from the Tiger Howl Sect. It looks like you all are looking for me." Ren Pingsheng spoke as if greeting an old friend, seemingly not regarding them as enemies at all.
"Oh, you've encountered our disciples before. It's quite strange that you came out unscathed. Did you escape when you were outmatched?" Chen Kai asked with some confusion.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but those three are probably already in the belly of a Fierce Beast."
"What? You dare to lay hands on our disciples!" Upon hearing this, he became furious, glaring fiercely at Ren Pingsheng, his sword still drawn and gleaming coldly.
"Heh, you really shouldn't be so agitated! You may not even know them well; in fact, you might not recognize them at all. If you're trying to show brotherhood, it seems you're wasting your feelings. At least the person next to you is much calmer than you." Ren Pingsheng chuckled sarcastically.
"Hmph, even if we don't know each other, we are still disciples of the same sect. Since we've met this time, don't think you'll leave the Azure Wind Secret Realm alive. I'll gladly take your life."
The atmosphere grew tense as the three stood silently. The air around them seemed to thicken with their rising momentum.
