Chapter 60 Snatching the profound earth fruit


Everyone, including Shun Long were startled that Guan Hong knew a martial skill.

There were plenty yellow grade cultivation techniques spread around in the ‘Mortal world’ and the ‘cultivation world’ as well. However, yellow grade martial skills were much rarer than yellow grade cultivation techniques.

Martial skills were different from cultivation techniques to begin with. Although one needed a cultivation technique to train in and become stronger, martial skills were a cultivator’s hidden card as well.

Of course, cultivation techniques at the black grade and above weren’t freely circulated in the world, but instead were all kept as a tight secret inside every sect. The value of these cultivation techniques was at least on par with black grade martial skills if not higher. After all, the grade of a cultivation technique would indicate how fast a disciple would progress while a martial skill was a way for the disciple to protect themself.

The 2 girls that had just arrived on the scene started discussing

”Senior sister look! That guy over there also knows a martial skill!” The shorter one of the 2 girls who had her hair in two small buns said as she pointed towards Guan Hong.

The ‘senior sister’ however, only glanced at Guan Hong once, before turning her sights on the ‘Profound earth fruit’ as she said

”It’s only a low yellow grade martial skill. He requires so much time to prepare for it that if he was fighting the ‘earth bear’ one on one, he would already be dead by now.”

The senior sister who was also dressed in blue robes had a beautiful face and short black hair as well as a slender body. Her boobs were average in size but her butt was definitely a handful. If one compared her with Liu Mei who Shun Long had met in the ‘Alchemist’s Guild’, her appearance may be slightly lacking, however, she was still a beauty that was on par with Lan Jinjing.

As Shun Long watched the two brothers, Shi Qiang and Shi Shan alternate between themselves trying to draw the ‘earth bear’s’ attention, Guan Hong had already finished charging up his martial skill.

As he had infused a lot of his qi inside his dagger he shouted

”Flying Slash!”

As he slashed with his dagger in the air, the qi he had infused became a blade that flew towards the ‘earth bear’. The bear had already split its attention between fighting Shi Qiang and Shi Shan, as well as defending itself from the occasional attacks from the other 2 members of this 5 man group, while also paying attention to its ‘Profound earth fruit’ at the same time.

As Guan Hong’s attack approached it, it didn’t have any time to dodge and tried to defend with its claws, but that was when the pair brothers showed their teamwork as they both attacked the bear toward its eyes and heart simultaneously.

The bear could only defend against the brothers’ joint attack, as Guan Hong’s slash hit it straight at its neck leaving behind a huge cut that had nearly reached the bear’s bones. Blood was sent high up in the air as the bear roared in pain. However thanks to its thick hide, it had survived the hit although it was now heavily injured.

Just when everyone thought that their fight was almost done, a huge screech sounded in the air, as a 2 meter(6ft) eagle, with sharp, grey-colored feathers appeared from the sky as it directly chased the ‘earth bear’. The injured ‘earth bear’ instantly turned to flee as it saw the eagle, completely disregarding everything else at this point.

The eagle chased the bear relentlessly around the forest.

As everyone’s attention turned to the ‘iron-winged eagle’ who was chasing the ‘earth bear’, Shun Long who was waiting for this chance, instantly opened a space tear as he appeared next to the ‘Profound earth fruit’. It only took a moment for him to appear inside the cave, snatch the fruit and then open another spatial tear to leave the cave from the other side.

However, just as he was about to leave, the ‘senior sister’ from the ‘Roaring wind pavilion’ had then screamed

”The ‘Profound earth fruit’!!”

Everyone’s attention immediately turned to the cave, as they saw Shun Long who had his back turned on them, disappear inside the spatial tear.

Although they saw his yellow robes which betrayed that he was a disciple of the ‘floating cloud sect’, they couldn’t see anything else, as he had suddenly vanished into thin air.

”NOOOOOOOOO MY ‘PROFOUND EARTH FRUIT’!” Both the ‘senior sister’ and Guan Hong shouted at the same time.

Guan Hong’s group had suffered the biggest loss this time as they had been the ones who had first discovered the fruit and injured the ‘earth bear’ as well, only for someone else to play the fisherman and steal their spoils from underneath their nose.

Guan Hong’s eyes were spitting fire as he looked at the blue-robed ‘senior sister’ who had just claimed that the ‘Profound earth fruit’ belonged to her.

Since the person who stole it had disappeared into nothing, Guan Hong’s group had nowhere to vent their anger to. Now, as if they had suddenly found an outlet for their pent up emotions, their group of 5 eyed the pair of female disciples from the ‘Raging wind pavilion’.

”WHO ARE YOU?” Guan Hong and the Shi brothers asked threateningly as they surrounded the 2 girls.

The ‘senior sister’ ignored them as she turned to leave however Guan Hong blocked her path as he said

”No matter who you are, if you want to leave, you will also leave behind your survival points!”

Anger clouded the ‘senior sister’s’ eyes as her peak rank 3 aura exploded as she attacked Guan Hong and a fierce battle of two versus five started.

Meanwhile, Shun Long who had just appeared 30 meters away from the other side of the cave could now hear the fight that had broken out.

Directly leaving the scene, Shun Long sent his spiritual strength inside the ‘Stone of Time’ to inspect the ‘Profound earth fruit’ before heading towards the deeper parts of the Demonic Mountain Region.
