The King Sword and the Dragon Slayer Spear, two weapons that Bai Hao had personally witnessed being auctioned off, were now blocking his path.
"And what made you come to me?" Bai Hao asked, looking at the young man holding the dragon-hunting gun.
He didn't know these two people before, let alone have any enmity with them. Now they suddenly rushed out to block his way. Did they take these two weapons just to block his way?
"Leave your two weapons behind, and you can leave." The young man pointed his Dragon Hunter Spear at the two weapons on Bai Hao's back.
Glancing at the weapons behind him out of the corner of his eye, Bai Hao finally understood the purpose of these two people. They were here to rob him of his weapons. But this was too bizarre. He hadn't even shown his weapons yet, and they had already targeted him.
"It's not impossible for you two to get my weapon, but we'll see if you have the ability." Bai Hao's gaze sharpened. He didn't draw the weapon behind him, but instead clenched his fists, and two balls of golden lightning flickered in his palms, gradually becoming more violent.
The young man and the masked man exchanged a glance, nodded to each other, gripped their weapons, and were about to attack at the same time.
Suddenly, a pale blue shadow flashed past the two of them like a streak of light. In the blink of an eye, the two of them were thrown off their feet and fell heavily to the ground.
Bai Hao was also startled. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was the woman with her eyes covered by a cloth who had taken the Dark Sun Sword.
"So everyone who bought the weapons is going to come after me? I'm pretty sure that weapon shop was just setting me up for an ambush..." Bai Hao thought to himself helplessly.
She personally witnessed these three people bidding for the weapons, and now they're all here. Are there other people coming later?
Bai Hao was mentally prepared.
"Do you want to fight me?" The woman "looked" at Bai Hao, holding the Dark Sun Sword in her hand.
Despite being blind, she accurately located Bai Hao's position, holding the Dark Sun Sword in her hand, exuding a fierce and sharp aura.
For a moment, Bai Hao even had the illusion that he was being suppressed.
This person has a very strong presence!
"That's what I should be asking you. Are you here to stop me like them?" Bai Hao retorted.
He could already sense that this woman was completely different from the other two, and that her Dark Sun Sword was superior to the King Sword and the Dragon Hunter Spear—the sword of the Third Prince of the Divine Source Dynasty, second only to the weapons of Qian Jing and Qian Ye behind him.
Upon hearing Bai Hao's words, the woman remained silent for a moment, then turned and left without saying a word, leaving Bai Hao with only her back view.
Watching the woman's departing figure, Bai Hao frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, then abandoned the Solar Lightning in his hand. He glanced one last time at the young man lying on the ground and the masked man, then walked directly past them...
In the end, Bai Hao didn't encounter any other people who had bought weapons and tried to stop him. Perhaps only those two had ulterior motives, while the others just wanted to buy weapons for self-defense.
Weapons blessed by the Sun's Thunder are the only protective items in this world; only these weapons can slay a soul separated from its body.
While the artisans of this world were capable of forging weapons, with the decline of the Divine Source Dynasty, even if they could still forge weapons, they no longer possessed the blessing of solar lightning. Therefore, the weapons available today are all remnants from the past; even if they are broken and dilapidated, as long as they contain solar lightning, they are one of their greatest guarantees for survival in this world.
Along his journey, Bai Hao has encountered many souls that have left their bodies—life forms that have lost their humanity, collectively known as free-floating bodies.
They are lifeless and unconscious, drifting aimlessly like ghosts. They can't help but approach any living creature they encounter, just to find life...
Along the way, after using the Sun's Lightning to kill many souls that had left their bodies, Bai Hao saw a tree after an unknown number of days. It was a short tree covered with small red fruits.
The fruit on that tree is a holy fruit!
"So Saint Luo fruit can be picked outside." After taking a closer look, Bai Hao confirmed that this was indeed Saint Luo fruit.
He had seen many Saint Rocher trees around the town, but the Saint Rocher fruits on them had long been picked, leaving only a mess of fruit trees. He didn't even know that Saint Rocher fruits actually grew on trees.
This Saint Luo Fruit tree was extremely lush; Bai Hao roughly counted at least two or three hundred fruits!
Meanwhile, around the Saint Luo Fruit tree, there were many souls separated from their bodies. They were all humans who had lost their humanity, wrapped in strips of cloth, with their feet off the ground, floating around aimlessly, but they would not leave the vicinity of the Saint Luo Fruit.
"There are quite a few souls separated from their bodies here. It seems that even though they have lost their humanity, the Holy Fruit still holds a great attraction for them." On a nearby tree, Bai Hao counted the souls separated from their bodies; there were nearly a hundred, a large number.
Although the attack power of the soul separated from the body is not high, their strength lies in their difficulty to deal with. Only the solar lightning or a weapon blessed by the solar lightning can completely kill them or free them.
Along the way, Bai Hao had killed quite a few souls separated from their bodies. Although he had the Sun Lightning, it was still somewhat difficult for him to face so many souls separated from their bodies at once.
"Looks like we're in for a good fight." Bai Hao glanced around again to confirm the number of souls separated from their bodies, then slowly drew Qian Jing from his back.
"For the sake of Saint Luo Guo, and also to free you from the suffering of wandering, I hope you will not blame me."
Gripping Qianjing tightly, Bai Hao leaped down from the tree. The lightning of the sun instantly coiled around Qianjing's blade along his arm, illuminating the surroundings with golden lightning. All the souls separated from their bodies were drawn towards it in that instant.
A series of longing growls escaped their throats, and all the souls separated from their bodies rushed towards Bai Hao, who, gripping Qian Jing, unleashed a killing spree…
A bloodless massacre. The slain souls experienced the purification of the sun's lightning, died completely, returned home, and were freed from the torment of wandering.
At the same time, Bai Hao was able to get closer to Saint Luo Guo, getting even closer to his goal.
...
After an incense stick had burned, Bai Hao finally killed all the souls that had left their bodies. He was panting heavily, and sweat was beading on his forehead.
"Phew, finally done. This Saint Luo Fruit is mine." After putting away Qian Jing, Bai Hao turned and walked towards the Saint Luo Fruit tree. Just as he reached out to pick it, another hand suddenly reached out from the other side. The moment their palms touched, both of them were stunned and pulled their hands back as if they had been electrocuted. At the same time, Bai Hao placed his palm on the hilt of the sword behind him.
Who goes there?!
