Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 52: It Can’t Be Chen

The battlefield in the woods was ablaze, with everyone erupting, their rage and killing intention intertwined.

Zi Yan no longer concealed her strength, displaying the grand momentum befitting a member of a Saint Tao Family.

Chen Shixian ignited once again. A fiery phoenix burst from within her, flames burning fiercely, and within them flowed the Power of Laws unique to the King Tao Realm.

"You’ve broken through to King Tao?" Zi Yan exclaimed in disbelief. Wasn’t it said that she was still lingering in the Destiny Stage? And there’s a Supreme Mystery Realm in between! How could she just...?

Chen Shixian shook her head, "No!"

I...

Zi Yan choked out, "Supreme Mystery Realm?"

Chen Shixian still shook her head.

At this, Zi Yan panicked. A Divine Body at the Destiny Stage actually unleashed power that only a King Tao cultivator should possess. This...?

The prodigies from the Saint Tao Family behind her were also bewildered. Snapping back to reality, they swallowed hard, with no time to ponder as the slaughter from the Royal Clan powerhouses descended upon them.

"Senior Brother, you..." Guang Xiaoyu’s eyes widened as she guessed Chen Pingping’s true intentions.

He wanted to scavenge. While Chen Shixian and the Wild Boar Tribe fought against the Royal Clan powerhouses, he planned to circle around to the back and loot all the cultivation resources of the Wild Boar Tribe, like the Blood Stones—everything! No way! Could it be! Is this really my Senior Brother? He’s so devious. But I like it.

After thinking it over, Guang Xiaoyu suddenly became excited, rubbing her hands together. "Senior Brother, you’re really clever, taking advantage of the big battle to sneak around and scavenge."

"What are you talking about?" Chen Pingping kept a straight face, chastising her, "Scavenge? Nonsense. Why would an ordinary person like me scavenge? I can’t use all these cultivation resources anyway."

"Mm-hmm, right, right, you’re right, Senior Brother."

"Am I not doing this for you?" Chen Pingping said with heartfelt pain. "You really don’t appreciate your Senior Brother’s hard work."

"I appreciate it, Senior Brother! You work so hard!"

"Alright, alright, stop talking. It would be bad if they found out," Chen Pingping glanced at the battlefield.

Despite my own strength, there’s no need to fear them, but... if possible, it’s better not to fight. What can be easily obtained should not be made complicated.

Behind him, Lao Huang and the Eight Treasures Chicken rolled their eyes.

The group tiptoed stealthily to the rear of the Wild Boar Tribe. After opening a cave, they saw mountain-like piles of Blood Stones.

Lao Huang immediately started drooling.

Hei, the little black dog, was even more direct, pouncing on them.

Chen Pingping, resting his chin in his hand, said, "I’ve heard that Blood Stones can enhance Bloodline Power." Then, with a sidelong glance towards Guang Xiaoyu, he added, "You don’t have any."

"..."

"I have it! I have it!" the Eight Treasures Chicken squawked.

Unfortunately, neither paid it any attention.

After a thorough search, apart from a large pile of Blood Stones, there was hardly anything of value.

To be honest, he was disappointed. It wasn’t even as much as a system reward...

Chen Pingping shrugged. "You pack them up."

"Didn’t you say I don’t have Bloodline Power!" Guang Xiaoyu felt wronged, being looked down upon by her Senior Brother once again.

Hmph! After all, I am the Demon Emperor! On the day I achieve my Tao Verification, I’ll definitely blind Senior Brother with my brilliance!

Chen Pingping said, "Even though they might not be of great value or much use, their sheer quantity is a win. Perhaps we can exchange them for something good."

They searched high and low, almost to the point of digging three feet into the ground.

「Ten minutes later」

The two left the cave.

By this time, the fierce battle between the two sides had reached a fever pitch. Zi Yan had unleashed her full strength, complemented by the Divine Body’s extraordinary power and the Wild Boar Tribe’s ferocious assault. Shi Yi and Nangong Jue lent their aid from the sidelines.

The Royal Clan powerhouse was gradually losing. He roared incessantly and unleashed his maximum power, his sinister eyes flashing with cold glints as he snarled, "Human Clan, you all deserve to die!"

As powerful as he was, at this moment he sensed the scent of death. He was uneasy. From initial disdain to current fear, all of this stemmed from Chen Shixian—she was no ordinary Human Clan cultivator. Even though her realm wasn’t high, the combat strength she burst forth with and her unimaginable cultivation methods shocked him deeply.

"AH!"

A miserable scream echoed under the sky.

Chen Shixian’s sword finally pierced through his body. The killing intention erupted, constantly eroding the Vitality Power within him. At that moment, the Rising Moon Above the Sea emerged once again. It restrained all ten directions, simultaneously suppressing the Royal Clan powerhouse here, rendering him unable to move.

Slightly circulating her cultivation, Zi Yan’s killing blow also arrived.

"No!" he roared, his face twisted, unwilling to accept his fate.

Alas... the life within him was fading, and his Divine Soul was gradually dimming...

A SQUELCHING SOUND echoed, and as powerful as he was, he was finally slain.

The battle ended.

All who were still alive breathed a sigh of relief.

Shi Yi and Nangong Jue looked at each other and smiled.

Zi Yan collapsed on the ground, panting as she looked ahead.

Chen Shixian was also completely exhausted.

The body of the Royal Clan powerhouse fell, life extinguished, with no chance of revival.

The Wild Boar King strode over. Though heavily injured, his recovery ability was astonishing; in just a few minutes, his wounds were almost completely healed. Looking at the corpse of the Royal Clan powerhouse, he couldn’t help but laugh loudly. "Finally dead, hahaha!"

The Wild Boar Tribe had been enslaved for a long time, and now they had finally regained their freedom.

「After a while...」

Zi Yan’s injuries had eased considerably. She asked, "What about the Blood Stones?"

"Everyone, please follow me!" The Wild Boar King, acting generously, led them to the rear.

However...

After opening the cave, it was empty inside. There was nothing but a few broken stones and fragments of Blood Stones scattered on the ground.

The Wild Boar King’s face stiffened. "Where are my Blood Stones?" he exclaimed.

He was stunned.

Zi Yan erupted in anger. "How dare you, Divine Body, deceive me?"

Chen Shixian: "..."

Shi Yi noticed a detail. "Calm down, look... there are footprints."

The footprints were fresh. This indicated that just recently, someone had broken in and stolen all the Blood Stones.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

Everyone swiftly glanced at those around them.

But during the recent battle, Chen Shixian was present, Shi Yi was there, Nangong Jue was also there, as were all the members of the Wild Boar Tribe, including several prodigies from the Saint Tao Family. Moreover, the footprints were those of the Human Clan, so it could not have been the work of the Wild Boar Tribe.

So who could it be?

There was only one possibility: Chen Pingping.

Bai Yunfei and Li Pu were unaware of what had happened here. Only Chen Pingping knew. He had returned and hidden in the shadows, waiting for the battle to erupt. Then he secretly snuck to the rear and stole all the Blood Stones.

Thinking of this, Chen Shixian’s expression darkened.

"Impossible!" Nangong Jue couldn’t help but exclaim. "Definitely not Senior Brother Chen!"

"How can you be sure?" Zi Yan gritted her teeth.

Me? Nangong Jue hesitated, thinking, Senior Brother Chen is just an ordinary person; he’s never cultivated. How could he possibly steal the Blood Stones right before everyone’s eyes? Plus, I know his character very well. Two words: uncontentious. He’s too lazy, fond of eating and avoiding work, always preferring to lie down rather than stand up. With such a disposition, how could he possibly do such a thing? But he couldn’t explain it.

From the current situation, besides Li Pu and Bai Yunfei, indeed, only Chen Pingping knew about this place and their subsequent plan. He was the most likely suspect.

Damn it! Zi Yan’s anger blazed. She had worked so hard, nearly risking her life, only for someone else to get there first. Despicable!

Chen Shixian was also grinding her teeth in secret.

The Wild Boar King looked embarrassed. "I’m sorry."

"Forget it, forget it!" Shi Yi said helplessly, consoling everyone. After all, they had fought on the same side and built quite a rapport. What happened wasn’t something they wished to see, nor was it the Wild Boar Tribe’s fault. He patted the Wild Boar King on the shoulder.

"If you don’t mind, you can wait a bit longer. I’ll order my people to gather more," said the Wild Boar King.

Everyone: "..."

Chen Shixian calmed down. Even though the Blood Stones were gone, she had another goal. She immediately fixed her gaze on the Wild Boar King and asked, "Are you interested in leaving the Wasteland?"

The Wild Boar King paused.

"Leaving this world and going to the Heaven Martial Continent is an option. You have a choice: follow me," Chen Shixian said. "I am a Divine Body, and my future achievements won’t be insignificant."

"No!" The Wild Boar King shook his head. "I will not leave my tribe."
