Chapter 96: The Celestial Mystery Holy Land, Zhao Wusheng

A young cultivator sped over from the distance, recalled his spear, and single-handedly challenged two Void Creatures.

Your eyes narrowed slightly. You had already seen through this person's cultivation — early-stage Nascent Soul.

With only early-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, he actually dares to fight two mid-stage Nascent Soul Void Creatures head-on. It seems this person's background is not simple! You thought this to yourself while secretly growing wary.

You activated the Martial Dao Heavenly Eye. In the surrounding void, you failed to discover any other cultivators.

You glanced at the three locked in battle. Heavenly Lightning power surfaced beneath your feet, and in an instant you appeared beside the Thunder Spirit Fruit tree. With one hand, you uprooted the entire tree and stored it into your storage ring.

"YOU DARE!!!" The moment your aura leaked, Zhao Wusheng had already discovered you. He abandoned the two Void Creatures and rushed to snatch the Thunder Spirit Fruit from your hands.

You looked at Zhao Wusheng charging toward you, feeling a little eager to test yourself. After staying in the village for so long, you did not know exactly how strong you were.

Right now, one early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, plus two mid-stage Nascent Soul Void Creatures — perfect for you to practice on!

A point of cold light arrived first. You dodged sideways while extending a hand, firmly gripping the spear shaft and rapidly closing in on Zhao Wusheng.

Zhao Wusheng was also decisive. Knowing your physical body was formidable, he immediately abandoned his spear and pulled distance from you.

At the same time, the two Void Creatures behind Zhao Wusheng switched targets and attacked you together.

Creatures that dwelt year-round in the void possessed powerful physical bodies and excelled at close combat.

You turned the spearhead around. Your right hand hurled it fiercely, and the spear tore through the void, stabbing directly into one Void Creature's belly.

At the same time, you engaged the other Void Creature in close-quarters combat.

Having trained under that absurd gravity for so long, your body's reaction speed had reached an unbelievable level.

While nimbly dodging the Void Creature's attacks, you seized a sliver of opportunity. Your fist, at a speed that nearly surpassed time itself, smashed heavily onto the Void Creature's skull.

One punch after another. Before the Void Creature could even react to what had happened, you had already struck its skull three times in succession.

On the third punch, the mid-stage Nascent Soul Void Creature's brain was directly blown apart by you!

Crimson blood mixed with white brain matter bloomed in the void like fireworks.

Spiritual qi within your body automatically emerged, forming a film of light that blocked the blood outside.

You instantly appeared beside the other Void Creature, pulled the spear from its belly, and under the Void Creature's terrified gaze, drove it into its skull!

Two mid-stage Nascent Soul Void Creatures — dead!

Only then did you raise your head and glance at Zhao Wusheng in the distance. A flash of killing intent flickered in your eyes before vanishing.

Sensing that wisp of killing intent you emitted, Zhao Wusheng finally snapped out of his shock.

Without another word, he dropped to his knees in the void, raised both hands above his head, and bowed to you.

At the same time, he cried out loudly for mercy. "This junior failed to recognize Mount Tai and offended Senior. Please, Senior, treat this junior like a fart and let him go!"

Seeing Zhao Wusheng beg for mercy so decisively left you somewhat at a loss. Then you pointed your spear at him and said, "You want to live?"

Zhao Wusheng hurriedly said, "I do, I dream of it!"

"Reason?"

"This junior is an Inner Sect disciple of the Celestial Mystery Holy Land! If Senior kills me, there might be some minor trouble."

Zhao Wusheng spoke while observing your expression. Seeing your brow furrow slightly, he hurriedly said, "This junior also knows of a fortuitous opportunity, right at the outskirts of this Void Battlefield!"

"Inside seems to be the inheritance left behind after a Fusion realm mighty figure fell!"

An inheritance left by a Fusion realm mighty figure? Could it be another Body Seizure act? You thought this to yourself. You had truly been frightened by Body Seizure.

You stared at Zhao Wusheng for a long while. Just when Zhao Wusheng thought he was doomed to die, you spoke. "You are very familiar with the entire outskirts of the Void Battlefield?"

"To be honest with Senior, this junior came to cultivate in this Void Battlefield back during the Nascent Soul stage. It has been a hundred years now!" Zhao Wusheng hurriedly explained, afraid that if he explained too late, his head would be separated from his body.

You pondered for a moment, then finally said, "Hand over your soul blood, and I will spare your life."

Hearing this, Zhao Wusheng hurriedly handed over his soul blood, without the slightest thought of resistance in his heart.

Someone who can punch a mid-stage Nascent Soul Void Creature to death — I absolutely cannot provoke him again! Zhao Wusheng thought this to himself.

You accepted the soul blood, put away the Earth-rank middle-grade treasure in your hand, and walked toward Little Nannan without looking back.

Zhao Wusheng followed behind, wanting to speak but hesitating. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly.

So what if the treasure is gone? At least I picked up my little life.

"Big Brother, you're back." When Little Nannan saw you, she quickly stood up and waved.

"I'm back. Little Nannan didn't run into any danger, did she?" You stood before Little Nannan, not discovering anything unusual.

"Nope, Little Nannan is very safe."

After confirming there was no danger, you took out the Thunder Spirit Fruit you had snatched.

Zhao Wusheng, following behind you, looked at the Thunder Spirit Fruit in your hand and secretly swallowed.

"Big Brother, what kind of fruit is that? It doesn't look very tasty." Little Nannan looked at the Thunder Spirit Fruit in your hand and asked curiously.

"This is the Thunder Spirit Fruit. Legend says a cultivator who eats it has an extremely small chance of evolving a Thunder Spirit Root within their body!" Zhao Wusheng explained.

"That's a spirit root!" Zhao Wusheng said excitedly.

"As everyone knows, the more spirit roots a cultivator has, the stronger they become after reaching high realms of cultivation!"

"Sounds amazing. Then Big Brother, hurry and eat one and try it." Little Nannan's eyes were full of curiosity.

"Yes, Senior, hurry and eat it. After the Thunder Spirit Fruit is picked, it loses its effect if left too long." Zhao Wusheng explained from the side.

"Alright." You smiled, then glanced at Zhao Wusheng and said, "I am going into seclusion for a while. Guard the law for me."

"This junior will definitely protect the safety of both Seniors with his life!" Zhao Wusheng immediately vowed.

You nodded, then returned the Earth-rank middle-grade spear to Zhao Wusheng.

Refining the Thunder Spirit Fruit would take some time. With Zhao Wusheng, an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, guarding the law, you were not afraid of any danger.

As for whether Zhao Wusheng would harm you? You held his soul blood in your hand. As long as he did not want to die, he would definitely protect you completely!
