Chapter 191: Chapter 190: Great Opportunity! _1
Blood-curdling battles could be seen everywhere in the dense forest. Again and again, they sent shivers down people’s spines.
The actions of the Demon Path were ruthless and their schemes were endless. Everyone was going all out, fully expressing their own talents and instincts. The Monk of Wine and Meat, Knife Devil Guzha, and Yan Fei were undoubtedly the hot favorites. Besides these three, there were many others who, while unremarkable in ordinary times, stood out in this test.
Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu’s performances were notably striking. Quite a few people had fallen at their hands, either pierced by iron fists or smashed by huge hammers.
The fame of these two was rising, and more and more competitors were coming to know these two ruthless figures, not wanting to run into them.
Their fists and hammers were smeared with blood. They exuded a sinister aura from head to toe, their eyes were blood-red, giving off the impression of ruthless killers.
Man Gu’s blood lineage of the Ancient Barbarian Tribe was further aroused. In the ancient times, wars were constant. The Ancient Barbarian Tribe, being one of the most powerful tribes at that time, went through countless blood battles and oppression… as well as sorcery from Yellow Bean.
“These two have never been mentioned before. Where did they come from? Looking at their strength, they are comparable to the Monk of Wine and Meat. Look, even the Monk of Wine and Meat doesn’ t want to confront them and stays active in other areas!”
“Probably they have obtained some inheritance or they are the seeds secretly cultivated by the Elders!”
“It’s just not known who is superior between these two.” Discussions about Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu were going on both inside and outside the venue. Meng Jingzhou’s iron fists were invincible, exploding a Foundation Establishment mid-stage competitor with one punch. The opponent was somewhat of a famous figure.
Meng Jingzhou was now at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment. As a disciple of the Seek Dao Sect, and the direct line of the Meng Family, once he left the Seek Dao Sect, he was invincible among those of the same level.
Words of the Saint were sounding around Man Gu. He didn’t blink an eye, smashing one person after another with his hammer, giving him a freakish look like a maniac.
Finally, the two crossed paths, their eyes filled with rebellious unyieldingness, neither willing to submit to the other.
Man Gu raised his hammer and bellowed, “State your name!”
“Meng Jingzhou! Who are you?”
“Man Gu.”
Both men were people of few words. They didn’t talk much and started fighting directly.
Both of them were the cream of the crop in the Foundation Establishment Stage and the top seed candidates. The moment they engaged, the whole ground shook. As the remnants of the battle hit the trees, they snapped in half, crumbling instantly.
Other competitors watched not far away, hoping that these two would both end up hurt, allowing them to take advantage.
The number of imprints in these two’s hands was very high. Whoever could kill them could seize their imprints.
That was a wealth that tempted everyone!
The Monk of Wine and Meat and Knife Devil Guzha observed in secret, their hearts filled with shock.
“The threat of these two is no less than Yan Fei’s!”
“Very powerful! But they are still inferior to me. I still have some tricks up my sleeve. I have seen through these two.”
I didn’t expect to encounter such strong opponents in addition to Yan Fei and the Monk of Wine and Meat. What an assembly of hidden talents!” “Just right! The Demon Blade is thirsty. The blood of those weaklings cannot satiate the Demon Blade. The blood of these two peerless geniuses is just what the Demon Blade craves!”
“Ha, ha, ha! This battle is invigorating! It’s been a long time since I’ve had worthy opponents for a fight!” Meng Jingzhou burst out laughing.
Man Gu was equally excited. The blood of his Ancient Barbarian Tribe was boiling and burning within him.
During their fight, another ancient tree fell. After the ancient tree broke down, a Bodhi tree appeared in front of the two of them.
On the Bodhi tree, three baby figures swayed in the wind. The Bodhi tree had the effect of pacifying the heart and gathering spirit, making this scene very sacred.
Meng Jingzhou was shocked, “Is it a ginseng fruit tree!?”
‘Ginseng fruit?” Man Gu was equally shocked.
With a sacred treasure before them, both men decided to cease their fight.
“Is this the rumored ginseng fruit tree?” Man Gu was skeptical.
Meng Jingzhou nodded, “No doubt, look at these three chubby babies growing on the tree. Isn’t this the legendary ginseng fruit?”
Man Gu continued asking, “But how can ginseng fruit grow on a Bodhi tree?”
Meng Jingzhou took on a you-lack-experience look, “You don’t know, the ginseng fruit is rare, you can’t find a ginseng fruit tree in the world? This is because there is no ginseng fruit tree in the first place!”
Ginseng fruit is spawned from the harmony of the rhythms of heaven and earth and only appears on other trees. When a tree gathers the essence of heaven and earth, ginseng fruit naturally grows.”
“Among the many trees, the Bodhi tree is the most mystical and the most suitable tree for the growth of ginseng fruit!”
Man Gu finally understood, he had not expected this layer of meaning.
Ginseng fruit was before them; that was a major opportunity. There was no need for the two to fight anymore. Even if it was one fruit per person, there would still be one left.
Originally, not many people recognized the ginseng fruit. But after listening to Meng Jingzhou’s reasoned analysis, they felt this was indeed ginseng fruit.
They remembered what the Master had said that there was a major opportunity in this dense forest.
Could it be these three ginseng fruits?
“Charge!”
The hidden crowd rushed out, vying to pick a ginseng fruit!
Knife Devil Guzha threw a cow hair needle. Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu sensed the hidden weapon and leapt backward to dodge this strike.
The two of them were now some distance away from the ginseng fruit, giving the others a chance.
Even if the competitors included Meng Jingzhou and the Monk of Wine and Meat, they had to take a gamble at this point.
If one could get a ginseng fruit, from then on, the path of cultivation would be smooth.
It was worth risking one’s life!
Knife Devil Guzha was the first to grab one. He didn’t hesitate, picking and running.
Is this the ginseng fruit? It feels like meat, no wonder it’s called ginseng fruit!”
Everyone else regretted and chased after him, but Knife Devil Guzha had a better pace. Here in the dense forest, it wasn’t long before he left everyone behind.
Only by refining could it truly belong to oneself. Adhering to this principle, Knife Devil Guzha took a bite.
It didn’t work.
“Could it be that the ginseng fruit feels like meat, but it becomes incredibly hard once you want to eat it.”
As he pondered how to ingest the ginseng fruit, his expression suddenly changed.
“Not good, it’s poisonous!”
He showed a look of disbelief, the surface of the ginseng fruit was highly poisonous!
Who did this? This is ginseng fruit after all! This manner of using poison is simply a waste of precious resources!
At this point, the ginseng fruit opened its mouth and said, “Hasn’t anyone ever told you not to randomly eat wild fruit by the wayside?”
While Knife Devil Guzha wore a face of regret, the ginseng fruit began to move. Lu Yang, three inches tall, stretched lazily. After playing the role of a ginseng fruit for so long, he was glad to finally move.
This was a new technique he had realized – size reduction, distance shortening, and operating the Tree-Planting Sutra.
This way, three mini Lu Yangs would grow on the Bodhi tree. After a bit of propaganda by Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu, his disguise was complete, turning him into a ginseng fruit.
He also applied a layer of highly toxic substance to his body.
Anyone who could grab the would certainly have a high cultivation level, so he was sure that poison would always work.
“And you call yourselves of the Demon Path? You are so easy to cheat.” Lu Yang shook his head in disgust and killed Guzha.
The standards of the Demon Path in this generation were just too low. The three of them on the Righteous Path were even able to play tricks on the Demon Path.
