This Half-Step Spirit King Realm Herb was very precious. It could help those at the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Realm breakthrough to the half-step Spirit King Realm. If eaten by masters already a half-step into the Spirit King Realm, it could also help them increase their vital essence.
In short, the Half-Step Spirit King Realm Herb is a true treasure to self-cultivators. Everybody who saw it wanted to take it for themselves.
Fengwu Cao looked at this Half-Step Spirit King Realm Herb anxiously, her eyes full of eager.
Fengwu Cao was at the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Realm; this Half-Step Spirit King Realm Herb would be of great use to her. But she knew she was far from being powerful enough to fight for it.
With this thought, Fengwu Cao turned depressed but could do nothing else.
Qingfeng Li saw Fengwu Cao's pitiful look and said, "Don't worry. I'll get this Half-Step Spirit King Realm Herb for you."
Hearing these words, Fengwu Cao was thrilled and looked at Qingfeng Li in excitement.
This Half-Step Spirit King Realm Herb was too precious. Gekuang Zhao, Ziyue Bing, Puotian Shou and Doudi Fu all gathered around it, looking at each other, and preparing to grab it at any time.
Shoo!
Gekuang Zhao rushed to it first. He moved like a swift arrow, immediately reaching the side of the Half-Step Spirit King Realm Herb.
When he wanted to pick it with his right hand, Ziyue Bing attacked him with a long white sword, preventing him from touching the Half-Step Spirit King Realm Herb.
Feeling the white sword energy from Ziyue Bing, Gekuang Zhao became panicky. He gave up on picking up the Half-Step Spirit King Realm Herb and drew out his sword, colliding it with Ziyue Bing's and creating a giant boom.
Sword energy spread away and cut through the air. They both took one step back and looked at each other coldly.
Gekuang Zhao was a master a half-step into the Spirit King Realm. The long sword in his hand was called the Furious Spirit Sword and was a powerful spiritual device in the half-step King level, and it could easily cut through conventional spiritual devices.
But Ziyue Bing was not ordinary as well. As the Saintess of the Ice King Sect, she held an extraordinary white sword called the Freezing Frost Sword, which was also at the half-step King level, same as the Furious Spirit Sword.
Seeing Gekuang Zhao fighting with Ziyue Bing, Puotian Shou rushed toward the the Half-Step Spirit King Realm Herb from the side, wanting to take the herb during this opening.
It was a good idea, but he was stopped by another rival, Doudi Fu.
Technically, Puotian Shou and Doudi Fu were good friends, but they still were conflicted in front of the Half-Step Spirit King Realm Herb.
"Brother Doudi, you want to stop me?" Puotian Shou frowned and asked.
Doudi Fu nodded, "Brother Puotian, this Half-Step Spirit King Realm Herb is a treasure useful to all of us. I'd say whoever wins takes it."
Doudi Fu started to fight with Puotian Shou after saying these words. They were both a half-step into the Spirit King Realm. The fight was very intense, and the others could not intervene.
Most importantly, they had a n.o.ble ident.i.ty from king level self-cultivation sects, so the surrounding smaller forces had no guts to offend them.
Others didn't dare to offend them. But one man was an exception; that was Qingfeng Li.
Shoo!
Qingfeng Li performed the Dragon's Thousand Steps, turning into a shadow of the dragon, and moving toward the Half-Step Spirit King Realm Herb like red lightning bolt while the others were fighting.
Qingfeng Li picked up the herb with his right hand.
"F*ck, the herb was taken by Qingfeng Li."
"Qingfeng Li is so audacious, grabbing the Half-Step Spirit King Realm Herb from those four masters."
"You're right, Qingfeng Li is too conceited. Those four will teach him a lesson."
The people around were discussing out loud.
They were weak and couldn't get the Half-Step Spirit King Realm Herb, so they felt jealous of Qingfeng Li and didn't want him to get it.
Gekuang Zhao, Ziyue Bing, Puotian Shou and Doudi Fu all saw the herb taken by Qingfeng Li and were irritated.
They stopped fighting and surrounded Qingfeng Li.
"Qingfeng Li, hand over the Half-Step Spirit King Realm Herb," Gekuang Zhao looked sullen and said to Qingfeng Li.
The Half-Step Spirit King Realm Herb was first discovered by Gekuang Zhao but was taken by Qingfeng Li. Of course, he was distraught.
Not only Gekuang Zhao, but the other three also asked Qingfeng Li to hand over the Half-Step Spirit King Realm Herb.
They thought themselves very n.o.ble as the young masters of King level sect, and that they were the only ones worthy to get Half-Step Spirit King Realm Herb.
They thought Qingfeng Li was a rogue cultivator without a sect background, and thus was not worthy to own treasures of such a level.
"Hand over the Half-Step Spirit King Realm Herb? No way. Take it from me if you can," Qingfeng Li looked at these four and said arrogantly.
Though surrounded by these four, Qingfeng Li was very calm, without any fear of them.
Qingfeng Li had many cards in his hand; with his spiritual devices and techniques, he was more powerful than all of them.
"Furious Spirit Sword Technique." Gekuang Zhao turned his wrist and slashed with the Furious Spirit Sword forward, manifesting the energy into a blast of chilling wind.
The sword tore apart the air and shook the dimension, slas.h.i.+ng toward Qingfeng Li with furious power.
Seeing Gekuang Zhao's sword technique, Qingfeng Li frowned. He didn't use the Red Fiery Sword because it was only a spiritual device at the peak stage of the heavenly-level, and it was no match for the Furious Spirit Sword, a spiritual device a half-step into the King level.
Qingfeng Li was in urgent need of a more precious sword in the king level, as that was the only way he could unleash his full power.
But this was a less pressing issue. What he should do now was to dodge the attack from Gekuang Zhao.
Qingfeng Li moved his body and performed the Dragon's Thousand Steps again. He moved like a laser, turning his body 180 degrees around and dodging the attack from Gekuang Zhao.
Gekuang Zhao was shocked when Qingfeng Li avoided his attack unexpectedly. His movement technique was too fast.
Seeing the sword energy from Gekuang Zhao miss, Ziyue Bing, Doudi Fu, and Puotian Shou attacked Qingfeng Li at the same time.
Their idea was simple, the Half-Step Spirit King Realm Herb was on Qingfeng Li, and they could only take it back after defeating him.
Qingfeng Li channeled the vital essence inside his body, performing the Dragon's Thousand Steps, and turning into a shadow, moving between them like a lightning bolt and dodging their attacks.
Qingfeng Li was too fast, even faster than a whirlwind, so their attacks kept missing.
There were sealing spells all over this mountain. The attacks from Gekuang Zhao and the rest didn't hit Qingfeng Li, but they hit those seals, making one of them explode with a loud boom.
The explosion was very powerful, blasting all of them backward. They were all pale with terror in their eyes.
