188: Bodhi Fruit

It doesn't matter. If he doesn't give it, I can just snatch it.

It's hard to say who the prey is and who the hunter is.

The seven of them continued upwards, and in the middle of the mountain peak, they encountered three Yao Beasts.

As Li Yue said, all three Yao Beasts were Sixth-rank, and the leading Yao Beast had already reached Sixth-rank Three-Star.

The remaining two Yao Beasts were also Sixth-rank Three-Star.

It could be said that this was a tough nut to crack.

The leading wolf-tribe Yao Beast let out a roar.

"Humans, leave my territory!"

Li Yue said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, we mean no offense. However, we must obtain the Spirit Medicine on this peak. If you don't want to die, then leave this place quickly!"

The wolf-tribe Yao Beast snorted, "I've guarded this Bodhi Tree for three years, and I've finally waited for it to mature. How could I possibly give it away at a time like this?"

Li Yue's expression sank. "Then there's nothing more to say. We can only fight! I've killed quite a few Sixth-rank Yao Beasts, so you three can join the count!"

The wolf-tribe Yao Beast snorted, "I've also killed quite a few Human Martial Artists."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen was slightly taken aback and said in a deep voice, "Before us, were there other Human Yao Beasts that entered this Secret Realm?"

The wolf-tribe Yao Beast laughed, "Of course! The creator of this Secret Realm sealed it with spatial power and set the entrance to be random, appearing once every three years. But I have to say, you are the strongest Human Martial Artists I've ever faced!"

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly. "Thank you for the compliment!"

Li Yue said in a deep voice, "Why waste words with it? Kill it, and the demon core and bodhi fruit will be ours! Moon Gazing Sect Disciples, attack!"

With that, Li Yue pulled out a long spear and charged at the Sixth-rank Five-Star wolf-tribe Yao Beast.

The other four, in pairs, fought against the other two Sixth-rank Three-Star Yao Beasts.

Lu Xingchen and Wang De did not make a move, standing aside to watch the show.

After all, it was a situation of fewer against more, so the three Yao Beasts dared not be careless and immediately transformed into their true forms, engaging the Disciples of the Moon Gazing Sect.

Li Yue became increasingly alarmed as he fought.

As the Saint of the Moon Gazing Sect, he had a certain arrogance, and challenging opponents above his level was commonplace for him.

But he hadn't expected that he wouldn't be able to defeat this wolf demon.

Its strength far exceeded that of an ordinary Sixth-rank Five-Star Yao Beast!

Li Yue let out an angry roar and said in a deep voice, "This is impossible! How can you be so strong?"

The wolf demon sneered, "Do you think I was wasting my time guarding the Bodhi Tree all these years? Although I couldn't eat the bodhi fruit, nourished by the Bodhi Tree's spiritual energy, my strength is far beyond what an ordinary Sixth-rank Yao Beast can compare to!"

Li Yue's expression darkened.

That seemed to make sense!

He then turned to Lu Xingchen and said in a deep voice, "Lu Xingchen, Wang De, stop watching the show and come help!"

Lu Xingchen raised an eyebrow slightly.

This Li Yue really was useless, unable to defeat a single Sixth-rank Yao Beast.

Immediately, he took out the dawn bow, drew an arrow, and shot it at the wolf-tribe Yao Beast.

The power of this arrow startled everyone.

It could already be compared to the attack power of an ordinary Five-Star Martial Emperor!

The wolf-tribe Yao Beast dared not underestimate it, raising its claw to block Lu Xingchen's arrow.

Immediately, Lu Xingchen used the Consecutive Arrow Technique, shooting an arrow every second without a moment's pause.

The wolf-tribe Yao Beast exerted all its strength to barely block Lu Xingchen's attacks.

Meanwhile, Li Yue seized this opportunity to attack with full force.

One far, one near, one arrow, one spear, they completely suppressed the wolf-tribe Yao Beast.

In just five minutes, Li Yue had severely wounded the wolf-tribe Yao Beast.

Lu Xingchen seized the opportunity, drew an arrow, used the String Twisting Archery Technique, and infused the Thousand Jin Slash into this arrow using the Heavenly Pivot Art.

An arrow shot out.

A sound of piercing air rang out. Feeling the powerful force of this arrow, the wolf-tribe Yao Beast was greatly startled and hastily put its right claw in front of its chest.

However, this time, Lu Xingchen's feathered arrow directly pierced through its right claw and then fiercely shot towards its chest.

After being defended by the right claw, the feathered arrow only penetrated three inches into the chest, failing to hit the heart.

But immediately, the Heavenly Pivot Art was activated, and a white Blade Edge bloomed from the wolf-tribe Yao Beast's chest.

“Congratulations, host, for killing a Sixth-rank Five-Star Yao Beast! You have gained 500,000 experience points and 500,000 exchange points!”

Li Yue was slightly stunned, then looked at Lu Xingchen with a gaze full of shock.

The power of that arrow was truly too strong!

If it were Li Yue himself, he might not have been able to block that arrow!

Moreover, his arrow was clearly blocked by the wolf-tribe Yao Beast, so how could it have exploded with a second stage of damage?

What a terrifying Martial Skill!

Lu Xingchen, however, did not idle. He shot two more Twisted String Arrows, killing the two Sixth-rank Three-Star Yao Beasts that had already been heavily wounded by the Moon Gazing Sect Disciples.

At this point, the battle ended, and Lu Xingchen perfectly reaped the kills.

His experience points had accumulated significantly, and he was not far from leveling up.

Li Yue put away his long spear, walked up to Lu Xingchen, and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Lu is truly formidable; he took down three Sixth-rank Yao Beasts by himself!"

Lu Xingchen shook his head. "These three Yao Beasts weren't defeated by me; I merely delivered the finishing blow. The main damage was done by your Moon Gazing Sect."

Li Yue nodded slightly.

What Lu Xingchen said was true; he had only been polite just now.

Li Yue said with a smile, "Since these three Sixth-rank Yao Beasts were killed by Fellow Daoist Lu, then their demon cores should rightfully belong to you."

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Then I won't be polite!"

With that, he walked towards the corpses of the three Yao Beasts, extracted their demon cores, and placed them into his Storage Ring.

Immediately, the seven continued forward, and at the summit, they finally saw the legendary Bodhi Tree.

It was a vigorous and powerful tree, lush green, with three greenish-blue fruits growing at its top.

Li Yue said with a smile, "Legend has it that the Bodhi Tree was the reliance of Buddhist and Daoist Saints for comprehending the Dao and Ascension. As long as one Cultivated under the Bodhi Tree, one's Martial Dao Aptitude could be improved."

"Although we cannot stay here forever, we can take the bodhi fruit with us. Consuming one bodhi fruit can be equivalent to many years of arduous Cultivation."

With that, he turned to Lu Xingchen and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Lu, those three Sixth-rank Yao Beast demon cores must have filled you up, right? Don't even think about this bodhi fruit; leave quickly!"

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen raised an eyebrow slightly, then chuckled, "As expected. The value of the bodhi fruit is so high that no one would willingly give it to an outsider."

Li Yue said in a deep voice, "So, Fellow Daoist Lu, can you tell me your choice? To leave now, or to stay here forever?"

Lu Xingchen smiled slightly.

"Of course, it's for you all to stay here forever!"

Hearing this, a trace of anger appeared on Li Yue's face.

"Lu Xingchen, your archery is indeed good, but there's no opportunity for you to launch sneak attacks now! You don't really think you can defeat me, do you?"
