Lei Yang hurriedly and carefully s.h.i.+fted his position. Only now did he clearly see that within the blood-red light, was a small tree that was around two meters tall.
The small tree had an extremely peculiar appearance. Its body was actually similar to a tree dragon, and its trunk was also covered with scales that were similar to dragon scales.
The branches and leaves that were scattered everywhere were like dragon claws. They were very powerful and even bent like dragon claws. In short, the entire tree gave off the feeling of a miniature dragon baring its fangs and brandis.h.i.+ng its claws.
At the end of the dragon-claw-like branch was a red fruit that was about the size of a quail egg. It emitted a dazzling, brilliant, and dazzling light.
There were a total of six branches on the tree. On each branch, there was one red fruit, a total of six. The red light was coming from those fruits.
Strangely, the light beams didn't scatter. Instead, they formed a s.h.i.+eld, which then began to connect to form a blood-colored s.h.i.+eld.
"With so many people competing for it, it must be something extraordinary." Thinking about this, Lei Yang unconsciously let out a bashful smile, but the smile had just appeared on his face, and was quickly suppressed at the bottom of his heart.
Lei Yang hurriedly warned himself in his heart: "Don't want to die!"
There were dozens of cultivators in the valley, and each of them were incomparably vicious. From the fight just now, he could feel that there were at least a few Spiritual Qi great circle undulations coming from them. Clearly, this group of cultivators was not ordinary.
He did not know why, but just as Lei Yang was warning himself, the cultivators fighting in the valley suddenly heard him, and each of them returned to their own camp. There were a total of three forces, and in an instant, they surrounded the small red tree, forming a three-legged stand-off situation.
It was then that Lei Yang realized that these three groups of people were basically spirit cultivators, but there were a few disciples from the sects at the front of the two groups.
At the very front of the camp facing Lei Yang were two cultivators dressed in sky blue robes. They were actually disciples of the Heaven Gate Sect.
From his clothes from head to toe, as well as the tattoos on his face and his muscular body, Lei Yang could immediately tell that he was a disciple from the Ghost sect.
On the side facing Lei Yang, all of them were spirit cultivators, but at the very front of the group, there were four spirit cultivators at the great perfection stage.
Lei Yang thought, although the three forces were roughly the same, the two cultivators at the middle stage of the ninth layer could actually fight amongst themselves, which was indeed impressive.
The cultivators behind each of them were different. It was clear that after entering the secret realm, countless rogue cultivators would gather and develop their own power.
Furthermore, this secret realm was extremely dangerous. Ordinary cultivators with spiritual energy would undoubtedly be the best choice to travel in groups, especially if they were hugging an expert from within the sect.
"Fellow Daoist Shan Gui, you and I are cultivators of the four sects, so why don't we join hands and kill them? After we split the Dragonheart Fruit, how about we split it equally?" Just then, the Heaven Gate Sect man suddenly spoke to the young cultivators of the Ghost Dao Sect, attempting to join hands to fight the rogue cultivators.
However, the man named Shan Gui from the Ghost Dao Sect did not seem to buy it, and did not say whether he was willing or not. However, he did not say anything, and laughed heartily as he narrowed his eyes and started to observe silently.
"Hahaha!" Just the three of you, even if you join forces, will be useless! This humble one will advise all of you, and you may leave on your own. After all, if I enter your sect in the future, I will still have to meet you! " At this moment, the grey robed cultivator spoke. Although his tone was tactful, it was filled with a domineering aura.
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, his eyes were filled with disdain and contempt. Even though they were disciples of a sect, he also didn't place them in his eyes.
But just at this time, Shan Gui from the Ghost Dao Sect suddenly spoke out: "Su Sheng Qin and this rogue cultivator fellow, from what you can see, this blood colored light screen, if any of our three sides were to leave, it would be difficult for the remaining two sides to break it apart. Why don't the three of us join hands, activate this blood colored light screen, and then make a decision, I don't know what you two are thinking!"
Shan Gui's words immediately made everyone start to ponder, they had no choice but to think, after all, everyone had already tried out the barrier just now, it was extremely st.u.r.dy, and had not surpa.s.sed the Spirit Qi realm, so it was impossible to cut it apart.
"Alright, let's do as Fellow Daoist Shan Gui has said!" The rogue cultivator in grey thought for a while and then agreed. However, a trace of a sinister smile flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Seeing that the party had agreed, Shan Gui's heart was immediately filled with joy, and he turned to look at Su Sheng Qin from Heaven Gate Sect.
Su Sheng Qin also thought about it for a moment before exchanging a glance with the female cultivator. After he understood what was going on, he also nodded his head.
The three of them moved as soon as they heard his words. Each of them used their strongest moves to fiercely strike at the red light screen outside the small tree.
Shan Gui was the first to rise, clenching his fist fiercely, a dense black mist appeared out of nowhere around him, in an instant forming a gigantic black mist fist, which struck towards the light screen.
Next was the middle-aged rogue cultivator in grey robes. He flew into the air and formed a seal with his hands. A large amount of sand rose up from the ground and formed a giant palm that also smashed toward the red light screen on the tree.
The last was the Heaven Gate Sect's Su Sheng Qin. His movements were elegant and a l.u.s.trous jade flute appeared out of nowhere in his hands.
The technique he used to attack was very special. It was elegant, and the instant the flute melody came out, it transformed into a auspicious beast that no one recognized.
That auspicious beast had a head of a sheep and a tail of a horse. It was running on its four hooves on the fireball as it charged towards the red light barrier with an indescribable speed.
"Boom!" The three of them flew toward the small tree from different directions and almost simultaneously crashed into the small tree's red light screen. They let out a m.u.f.fled rumble that shook the valley.
The red screen on the tree seemed weak, but it only shook violently for a moment, and was not broken by the magical technique.
Lei Yang a.n.a.lysed the small tree. The red light screen was indeed powerful on one side, but on the other hand, the attacks of the three people had a huge problem.
They seemed to be giving their all, but in reality, they were all waiting for the opponent to break through the barrier of light and consume even more of their cultivation. With this thought in mind, their attacks naturally wouldn't be too powerful.
Although Lei Yang could see through their scheme, and understood some principles, these cultivators' foresight, were indeed able to broaden Lei Yang's horizons.
Next, the three of them successively landed on the red curtain of light surrounding the small tree. They seemed incomparably berserk, and every one of them acted as if they were going all out, but in reality, they didn't use their full strength.
The moment the crack appeared, an indescribable blood aura, much more majestic than before, suddenly spread out from the screen of light.
Initially, when Lei Yang saw the danger and was about to reluctantly retreat, he did not want to see the performance of the three anymore. But just at this moment, the b.l.o.o.d.y tattoo on his arm suddenly moved, and from it, an indescribably strong desire could be felt.
"This is?" Could it be that it was interested in this item? Lei Yang was instantly apprehensive, his originally turned body slowly turned back, returning to his original position and continued to crawl on the ground without moving.
Right then, at the moment when the blood Qi was released, especially for Shan Gui, the greed in his eyes rose immediately. Without realizing it, he was trying even harder to attack the red light screen. It was as if his heart was filled with desire and was determined to get it.
The other two were the same. However, it was clear that the three of them were on guard against each other. In fact, the three teams seemed to be prepared to kill each other at any moment now.
Obviously, once the blood-colored s.h.i.+eld was broken through, the entire area would once again sink into a chaotic battle. There would be no way for them to split the battle equally.
Gradually, the gap grew larger and larger, until it actually formed a gap that ran through the entire screen. Although the adult's arm could not enter the screen, the baby's arm could still enter it. At the same time, the b.l.o.o.d.y aura it emitted became even more shocking, and even faintly contained the cry of a dragon.
With another powerful attack technique, it landed on the crack between the light curtain. The three people's defenses had reached the limit, but right at this moment, Lei Yang saw a rock suddenly fly out from the small mountain in front of him.
The speed of the stone was so fast that it seemed to pierce through s.p.a.ce, to the point that the people on the stage didn't even see where it came from, and it directly struck them.
The rock had hit one of the cultivators in the back of the rogue cultivator. The force of the hit was so strong that it caused the cultivator's arm to explode into a mist of blood.
The atmosphere was already extremely tense. The moment the cultivator exploded, the three pairs of men immediately charged forward. Once again, an astonis.h.i.+ng and chaotic battle broke out.
Shan Gui, Su Shengqin, and that middle-aged rogue cultivator dressed in grey also instantly took off their false masks and started to fight. The weak and short alliance between them was completely broken at this moment.
However, no one expected that right at this moment, another figure would silently and swiftly shoot out from the small mountain opposite of Lei Yang. His movements were illusionary and blurred, and his movements were extremely strange, as though he was an afterimage, he drew a strange arc in the air and rushed straight towards the small tree in the middle of the red light screen.
"So it turns out that I wasn't the only one who was waiting for an opportunity to make a move. There were actually others around me as well. Forget it, I'll just go all out! " Lei Yang gritted his teeth with all his might, putting all of the danger behind him. The greed in his heart rose in an instant, as he had long forgotten the warning he had given himself earlier.
