“Boom!” A black lightning bolt cut through the sky like a heavenly saber with a frightening momentum.

Ye Siwan beneath the tree had a stream of blood flowing down her jade arm, wounded by the bolt.

Ximen Sude’s cultivation far exceeded her even though she was an intermediate seventh-level now.

She took out her fiery sword and posed coolly before the tree, not relenting one bit: “I found this spirit fruit tree first, don’t think about it.”

She knew who he was - a supreme elder from Dark Realm named Ximen Sude. He was a famous character from the same generation as the corpse master of Firmament.

However, she wasn’t afraid at all and wouldn’t give this great supreme spirit root to anyone.

“This tree is a great spirit root and you can’t hold onto it with your cultivation. I see that you are beautiful and talented so I wish to take you in as a concubine, do you agree?” Ximen Sude had a dark smile.

He held his staff while standing on the great lizard; his black robe fluttered to the wind. If she dared to say no, he would immediately attack without showing any mercy.

“Let’s go.” Siwan had no intention of backing off and started channeling energy with a golden glow around her.

The sword became shrouded with fire. She then moved fast enough to have a hundred images, almost like a group of dancing fairies.

“You dare to attack me with such meager cultivation?” He sneered.

His hand was shrouded in black energy. He grabbed a plume of cloud and unleashed a palm strike.

The massive seal struck her real form and forced her back to the tree, injured for the second time. Blood dripped out the corner of her lips.

He was simply too strong. She only survived due to her recent improvement.

His eyes became cold, not expecting to need to use a third strike versus a young cultivator. This was actually humiliating.

“I’ll lend you a hand since you wish to die.” He didn’t want to waste time because that commotion was too loud earlier. More experts were definitely coming here. He needed to take this tree away before that.

Siwan prepared to fight to the death. An auspicious fog surrounded her shiny skin. Her eyes looked like two stars while her dantian started to glow.

“Hey, geezer, which hole did you crawl out from? Daring to rob someone before I, Second Boss? Want to steal my business?” Second Boss took one step forward and moved thirty miles closer with a single step.

He landed next to Ye Siwan while holding two axes with a smile on his face, ready to fight.

He was naturally in a good mood because he found a total of four spirit fruits earlier, all 3,000 years and up.

Two of them were heavily damaged but they were still precious treasures. Another was a 5,000-year vermillion fruit with virtually no damage. He wouldn’t trade it for a hundred cities.

Ximen Sude didn’t know that most of the fruits have been taken already, only this tree was left now since it was the most conspicuous.

Second Boss was afraid of Ye Siwan being captured. If she were to fall under the guy’s spell and torture, she would spill about their fruits too. That would be big trouble so he had no choice but to help.

Feiyun also arrived and stood on her other side. He was also in a good mood since his harvest was several times better than Second Boss’.

Feiyun raised his gigantic bell and declared: “Old man, do you think we’re so easily bullied?”

“You want to take this supreme spirit root that we toiled to find? Let’s see if you’re capable enough.” Shyflower also benefited greatly despite being the slowest.

“That’s right, Sister Ye risked her life to find this tree, we need to help her fight off all robbers.” Little Demoness had a red complexion right now after finding better stuff than Second Boss.

They were crafty enough to divert all attention to this tree, not mentioning anything about the other fruits here.

“A bunch of misfits like you want to oppose me, Ximen Sude?” Sude sneered in response.

This heretical big shot believed he knew all the masters in Jin and didn’t recognize these people.

Two were still young and though they were strong for their age, that still didn’t mean anything to him. He alone could take all of them.

Second Boss has been reclusive for several hundred years and was definitely the strongest in Feiyun’s group. He was very excited and couldn’t wait to kill. His hand started shaking.

Sude posed with both hands behind his back and chuckled at the group: “Yes, trembling with fear now after hearing my name?”

Two more old men from Dark Realm arrived on the scene. They rode spirit beasts; hair and beard white from top to bottom.

They were two supreme elders named Gu Bazhi and Jin Tang.

These three were only below the realm master in terms of status and strength. Bazhi and Jin Tang have trained for two hundred years and rarely showed themselves in Jin. Nevertheless, people still feared their names.

“The three lords of Dark Realm are all here.” Shyflower slightly frowned.

“You know them?” Little Demoness asked.

“I
