The laws of nature are so unfair. Li Xiuchen stopped to rest and stepped on a Flame Fruit. Luo Jianqing could only obtain a Flame Fruit by killing a fifth-level monster.
The two walked for another three days and finally ran into people from the Soul-Breaking Sect.
The Broken Soul Sect wasn't divided into six groups like the Taihua Mountain sect, so they could find more opportunities. They all gathered together. The leader, Yan Su, was at the Half-Step Nascent Soul stage. When he suddenly appeared, Luo Jianqing opened his eyes and looked up at him.
Their eyes met in the air.
After a long while, Yan Su bowed and said, "Fellow Daoist Luo."
Luo Jianqing bowed, "Fellow Daoist Yan."
Yan Su asked, "It seems that the fellow Taoists from Mount Taihua have dispersed and are looking for opportunities on their own?"
Luo Jianqing smiled lightly and did not answer.
At this moment, a young woman in green clothes beside Yan Su suddenly spoke in a sharp voice: "Brother, it was that boy. I saw him first pick up a flame fruit, and then dig out another one from the sand!"
The fiery gazes of the Soul-Breaking Sect disciples immediately fell on Li Xiuchen who was standing beside Luo Jianqing.
Luo Jianqing also looked at Li Xiuchen in surprise.
...Li Xiuchen had only been out for a quarter-hour stroll, and he'd already gotten two Flame Fruits?!
The nine members of the Broken Soul Sect all looked at Li Xiuchen with burning eyes. The woman in green jealously remarked that the boy was only at the Qi Refining stage and was guilty of possessing such a treasure. He had no right to possess so many Flame Fruits. However, Yan Su waved his hand to stop the woman from saying anything else. He stepped forward and asked, "Fellow Daoist Luo, may I ask how many Flame Fruits do you two have now?"
As soon as these words fell, Luo Jianqing's expression instantly turned cold.
Yan Su continued, "I know this question is quite rude, so I can tell Fellow Daoist Luo that there are nine of us in the Broken Soul Sect. We have been searching for two whole months, and we have only found four Flame Fruits."
Luo Jianqing smiled instead of getting angry: "What does it have to do with me if you get four flame fruits?"
Yan Su said, "Fellow Daoist Luo, I have always admired the reputation of Taihua Mountain's first disciple, but my fellow disciples have risked their lives by entering Liuyan Valley this time. In Liuyan Valley, killing and robbing treasures are commonplace, and there are even regulations that all disputes outside of Liuyan Valley should be treated as if nothing had happened. Taihua Mountain and our Broken Soul Sect have also signed a contract - in Liuyan Valley, life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by heaven!"
Luo Jianqing said calmly: "So?"
Yan Su said sincerely, "That fellow Daoist seems to have great luck. I think he has obtained a lot of Flame Fruits before. Fellow Daoist Luo, I, Yan, promise you that as long as you give me five Flame Fruits, my Broken Soul Sect will never be your enemy in the Flowing Flame Valley..."
Bang!
A green sword energy flew into the air, and Yan Su quickly took out his own magic axe to block it, without even having time to finish his words.
Luo Jianqing took out the Frost Floating Sword directly, kicked Li Xiuchen far away, and went to meet him alone.
Yan Su quickly picked up the axe and stepped forward to meet the attack. In just a short period of time, the two men fought several times.
Yan Su said, thinking he was trying to persuade him in a kind way, "Fellow Daoist Luo, that man is just a Qi Refining Stage disciple. Why would you make an enemy of us for him?"
Luo Jianqing suddenly laughed: "Do you think I am fighting against the Broken Soul Sect for him?"
Yan Su nodded: "Yes."
Luo Jianqing slashed forward with a flash of sword light and shouted sternly, "I, Taihua Mountain, will never surrender to anyone, let alone submit to you! For the sake of Taihua Mountain's reputation, I will make you apologize!"
In this world, only Mount Taihua has the right to bully others, but Mount Taihua has absolutely no right to be bullied by others!
The cyan and black figures clashed in mid-air, their longswords striking the giant axes, sending metallic sparks flying. Yan Su's eight fellow apprentices hurried to chase Li Xiuchen, but unexpectedly, Luo Jianqing slashed with a giant sword, blocking their path.
Yan Su's expression turned cold: "Fellow Daoist Luo, you want to fight one against nine?"
Luo Jianqing took a step forward, hooked his finger, and the Frost Floating Sword returned to his palm.
He smiled faintly and said, "Why not?"
Under the blazing sun and yellow sand, a dazzling cyan figure stood before the nine men, holding a long sword gleaming coldly. One man standing in front of a thousand! His overwhelming aura overwhelmed the nine Soul-Breaking Sect disciples. Even Yan Su, who had reached the great perfection of the late Jindan stage, was overwhelmed by Luo Jianqing's aura.
Both sides were silent for a moment, and the next second, they started fighting at the same time!
Luo Jianqing swung his sword, crippling the right hands of three Foundation Establishment disciples from the Broken Soul Sect, rendering them temporarily unusable. The other three Qi Refining disciples didn't even join the fray, leaving only two Early Golden Core disciples and one Late Golden Core disciple, Yan Su, standing before Luo Jianqing.
"The Ghost Axe of Creation!"
"The sword draws thunder!"
This struggle was basically a struggle between Luo Jianqing and Yan Su.
However, even though Venerable Hao Xingzi said that Luo Jianqing was invincible below the Nascent Soul stage, Yan Su had already reached the Half-Nascent Soul stage. Moreover, there were two Jindan stage cultivators nearby who were constantly plotting against him. Even Luo Jianqing had suffered a lot of injuries and was gradually losing ground.
A black light condensed on the axe in Yan Su's hand, and countless ghosts flew out from his axe. The sky gradually became dark, and a cold wind blew. Ghosts screamed miserably, and thousands of ghosts flew towards Luo Jianqing at a rapid speed. Luo Jianqing's eyes narrowed and he kicked the ground.
"Seize Spring and Autumn!"
"One sword turns into nine lotuses!"
Nine cyan sword lights formed a large blue lotus formation, piercing the countless ghosts. After the blue lotus formation collided with the ghosts, the two grappled for a while. Yan Su gritted his teeth and spurted out a stream of blood, causing the ghosts' aura on the ghost axe to surge.
