Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting-Chapter 172 - 97: Slaying the Half-Step Divine Realm, Persuading Long Xueyi to Bleed_2
Looking at the greed in Luo Hongyuan’s eyes, Wei Fan found it amusing, knowing that with a Divine Soldier in hand, he feared no one and could easily take him down.
He threw a few more punches, confirming that his Body Refining Cultivation was ineffective against Luo Hongyuan.
The other’s Protective Gang Qi, reinforced by the Power of Heart and Spirit, was as solid as a turtle shell, and he didn’t know how many punches it would take to break through.
He patted the gourd on his waist, and a knife made from Young Master Bai Xiang’s ivory appeared in his hand.
With the knife in hand, Wei Fan’s entire demeanor changed drastically. As Luo Hongyuan’s Power of Heart and Spirit swept over, it felt as if it was scanning an immovable mountain.
"Knife Momentum!"
Luo Hongyuan couldn’t help but narrow his pupils. Under the sweeping gaze of his Power of Heart and Spirit, Wei Fan seemed to merge with the surrounding mountains, transforming into a massive blade.
But it wasn’t over yet; what scared him even more was yet to come.
Wei Fan’s knife, white as jade, began to emit a purple glow, and the surrounding Power of Heaven and Earth surged like a tide. Even some of the power he controlled was seized by the opponent.
"Purple True Force, you are that recently risen Horizontal Cultivation of Innate Wei Fan!"
Luo Hongyuan’s face was filled with shock.
How renowned is Horizontal Cultivation of Innate?
Even from within the Great Prison, he often heard the guards discuss it.
Finally, he understood why this person’s power was so terrifying; it was because he was the demonic talent of Horizontal Cultivation of Innate.
Boom!
When Wei Fan swung his blade, Luo Hongyuan felt a searing pain in his head, as if his Power of Heart and Spirit was being forced back.
Under the boosting effect of Knife Momentum, his Power of Heart and Spirit couldn’t suppress the opponent, and instead suffered a terrible backlash, as if his head was about to explode.
He struggled to pull back the long spear to block, but the knife was too fast. Before he could defend, the purple sword aura sliced through his Protective Gang Qi, landing on his body.
Blood splattered as Luo Hongyuan retreated with the force, sweeping his spear horizontally at Wei Fan, not daring to use the Power of Heart and Spirit against Wei Fan again.
His Half-Step Divine Realm Power of Heart and Spirit was only a fledgling aspect of a Divine Realm Martial Sect’s skill, but Wei Fan’s Knife Momentum was a hallmark of the Divine Realm Martial Sect, regarded as the ultimate technique mastered by a Celestial Martial Artist.
Facing Luo Hongyuan’s sweeping spear, Wei Fan didn’t even look; he swiftly countered with a slash aimed at Luo Hongyuan’s neck.
Bang!
The spear swept across Wei Fan, sparking a series of sparks, drawing Luo Hongyuan’s pupils into a tight constriction.
What kind of Demon Fiend body is this, that flesh and blood would spark like that?
Swish!
As the knife light swept past, Luo Hongyuan’s head flew off and fell to the ground. As blood was about to gush out, Wei Fan’s Purple True Force swept over, suppressing the blood back.
He then grabbed Luo Hongyuan’s head and body, leaping into the depths of the valley like a large bird.
This blood was meant to nourish the Bodhi Fruit and couldn’t be wasted.
"He’s dead, the Half-Step Divine Realm Luo Hongyuan is dead just like that!"
Long Xueyi’s expression was complex, her body also rising.
Before she had a chance to intervene, Luo Hongyuan was killed. She always thought that she would have to use the means left by her grandfather Long Jianying to slay Luo Hongyuan.
"This demon, his True Qi Cultivation actually broke through to Celestial Human Fifth Layer!"
Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but feel waves of shock inside; it hadn’t been long.
At this rate, it wouldn’t take a month or two for Wei Fan’s cultivation to catch up with her.
"I actually served as a wedding dress for someone else..."
Even though his head was chopped off, the Half-Step Divine Realm Luo Hongyuan wasn’t completely dead.
Though he couldn’t speak, the Power of Heart and Spirit that had partially transformed fluctuated, and his intended message rang directly in Wei Fan’s heart.
He was unwilling!
Years of planning, suffering in the Great Prison, all came to naught, ending up benefiting others. He became mere nourishment for the Bodhi Fruit, and his dream of a Divine Realm Martial Sect shattered.
Wei Fan looked down at the head of Luo Hongyuan in his hand, and coldly said, "You’re unhappy about being a wedding dress for someone else?
Didn’t you speak so righteously before? Now that it’s your turn to die and become nourishment for the Bodhi Fruit, how come you can’t see it as dying in the fight against Demons?
I am the Horizontal Cultivation of Innate. In terms of potential and talent, I surpass you in everything. In the future, I’ll slay more Demons than you did. Being able to nurture me and enhance my comprehension a bit, enabling me to slay more Demons in the future – why don’t you think your death is worthwhile?
According to your logic, you should be delighted to die..."
Several rhetorical questions, causing Luo Hongyuan’s Power of Heart and Spirit to disperse in a puff, as the light in his eyes quickly faded.
[Slain Luo Hongyuan, gained 900 years of Power]
[Current Power Level: 944 years]
Wei Fan never really liked killing people, the power gained from it didn’t compare to that from Demons.
If he had slain a Half-Step Condensing Spirit great demon, he could have at least gained 3600 years of power, but killing a person only yielded a mere 900 years.
The cave wasn’t big, only half a meter tall, hidden by some weeds.
Climbing in with Luo Hongyuan’s corpse, a large space unfolded before his eyes.
Not far away, a glowing small tree appeared, rooted beside a large skeleton.
"It’s the Bodhi Fruit!"
Long Xueyi’s voice turned excited. So Luo Hongyuan truly hid the Bodhi Fruit here all those years ago, and that skeleton must be the great demon’s from back then.
Wei Fan quickly approached the Bodhi Fruit and released the true energy constraining Luo Hongyuan’s blood, letting hot blood spray liberally, soaking into the roots of the Bodhi Tree.
In an instant, the small tree emitted an even more brilliant light, frantically absorbing the blood.
After some time, some roots even emerged from the ground, piercing directly into Luo Hongyuan’s body.
Wei Fan turned to Long Xueyi beside him, "We’re both prodigies. Why don’t we let a little of our own blood feed the Bodhi Fruit? It might yield even better results!"
He wasn’t a demon, but Long Xueyi certainly was.
Luo Hongyuan was so self-satisfied to reach Celestial Human Ninth Layer at fifty, but Long Xueyi, in her twenties, had achieved the same, nearly comprehending Sword Momentum. Isn’t she the perfect nourishment for the maturation of the Bodhi Fruit?
Long Xueyi showed a tempted expression. In her eyes, Wei Fan was even more monstrous; if he was willing to bleed, how could she refuse such a good thing?
"Alright!"
She, being decisive, spoke while cutting a shallow wound on her wrist with a sword, forcing a substantial amount of blood with true energy to fall on the Bodhi Fruit’s roots.
Instantly, the Bodhi Fruit emitted an even brighter light than before, even causing the Power of Heaven and Earth to surge, converging on the small tree like a swarm.
Only when she felt a bit weakened did she withdraw and take an elixir.
Wei Fan stepped forward, making a cut on his arm with true energy, forcing out blood.
Thump thump...
His blood, once out of his body, congealed like rare pearls, appearing as a string of pearls dropping, emitting a fragrant scent.
What was even more surprising was that when these blood droplets hit the ground, they seemed to weigh extraordinarily, causing the ground to throb with loud sounds.
"No wonder those Demons consider Horizontal Cultivation of Innate as the supreme medicine; his blood is so mystical!"
Long Xueyi watched in shock.
One drop of blood alone was likely enough to be used as an elixir to enhance True Qi.
The Bodhi Tree’s movements became even more intense than before, with more roots emerging to take in the blood dripping from Wei Fan. The four Bodhi Fruits on the tree swelled and mystically bloomed, resonating with a humming vibration.
By now, Luo Hongyuan’s body was reduced to white bones, all flesh and blood gone.
Wei Fan felt slightly uncomfortable, given that he would soon eat the Bodhi Fruit. The thought of eating something nurtured by someone else’s flesh and blood was unsettling.
"No need to bleed; the Bodhi Fruit is about to mature!"
Long Xueyi’s voice echoed; the light from the Bodhi Tree illuminated the entire cave, as a sound akin to the chanting of sutras reverberated throughout the cave.
Upon hearing this, Wei Fan took two steps back, pulling back the true energy into his Dantian.
Although he had bled a few bowls’ worth, he didn’t feel weakened. Upon slight operation of Qi and Blood Power, the lost blood quickly replenished.
About to use some medicine to heal the wound, other sounds reached his ears.
"Someone’s coming!"
Turning his head, he saw a figure entering through the cave entrance.
