Tyrant Sky Martial Soul-Chapter 2134 - 2137: Golden-Eyed Black Lion and the Hell Fruit

In the span of two days, Ling Xiao gathered a large number of medicinal materials from the deep mountains, regardless of their usefulness, as his Mountain and River World was vast enough to store them.

After all, he couldn't be certain what kind of pills he might want to concoct in the future.

So, the more medicinal materials, the better.

Moreover, the medicinal materials of the Xuanwu Continent were indeed far superior to those of the Divine Phoenix Continent, he even contemplated the idea of moving the entire Featherization Mountain Range.

Unfortunately, he didn't possess such an ability yet.

Hmm?

Isn't that Lord Lin?

On the afternoon of the second day, Ling Xiao had ventured deeper into the wild mountains than he had the previous time.

To ensure his safety, he constantly observed his surroundings using the Tai Chi Eye.

Suddenly, he spotted a figure a few miles away.

Upon closer inspection, that figure turned out to be Lord Lin from Eight Immortals County!

"Why is this guy here instead of overseeing the assessment tasks?"

Feeling curious, Ling Xiao accelerated his pace, and when he was about a mile away, his Tai Chi Eye saw everything more clearly.

Just a few hundred meters away from Lord Lin lay a fierce Monster Beast.

Its strength had reached the peak of the half-step Yin-Yang Realm.

This was truly a Cave Heaven Demon King!

The Monster Beast resembled a gigantic lion but had a peculiar appearance.

The lion's body was entirely black, like coal, yet its eyes emitted a golden glow, instilling a shiver in anyone who saw them.

"Golden-Eyed Black Lion!"

Ling Xiao remembered reading about such a ferocious creature in the books.

According to the books, the appearance of a Golden-Eyed Black Lion invariably heralds the presence of a "Hell Fruit".

Looking near the Golden-Eyed Black Lion, Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel elated.

There was indeed a fruit tree about one meter tall, bearing four fruits which exuded a hellish aura.

The fruits were bizarre, resembling a mass of black flames.

They appeared to be immature.

Hell Fruit is a treasure, as direct consumption can significantly enhance the cultivation level of Cave Heaven Realm Martial Artists.

The extent of enhancement depends on the individual's potential.

If processed into the "Yin-Yang Hell Pill", direct consumption could allow a half-step Yin-Yang Realm Martial Artist to step into the Yin-Yang Realm Cultivation without obstacles.

This is surely a Divine Pill.

No wonder Lord Lin was guarding that place; it must have been for those Hell Fruits.

However, based on Ling Xiao's understanding of Hell Fruits, they would take at least ten more days to mature.

Lord Lin didn't understand these, hence he kept guarding there, otherwise no one would dare to pick them as long as the Golden-Eyed Black Lion remained there.

"Heh, regardless, you just keep guarding it for me, those Hell Fruits are mine,"

With a sneer, Ling Xiao changed direction and sped off to another side.

After running for nearly a mile, he suddenly stopped.

"You've been following me for so long, aren't you tired?"

Ling Xiao turned around and addressed a dense clump of bushes.

From those bushes, a flash of cold light suddenly shot toward Ling Xiao, and then a figure almost simultaneously lunged forward.

Ling Xiao instantly saw it clearly.

The intruder was one of Lord Lin's three subordinates, a guy with cultivation reaching the Ninth Celestial Realm.

His face turned cold; he had already warned these bastards not to attack him, yet this guy dared to strike directly?

In that case, don't blame him.

Seeing the cold light approaching, Ling Xiao instantly activated the Hell Dragon Seal, entering the Hell Human-Dragon Form.

In that instant, his aura surged rapidly, ascending at least three realms in combat power.

Originally, his cultivation was at One-turn Cave Heaven Realm Middle Stage, equivalent to the Sixth Dongtian Realm Cultivation of a regular Martial Artist.

Now, his combat power had ascended three realms, making his realm on par with his adversary.

In such a situation, he prevailed.

"Clang!"

The cold light was casually deflected by Ling Xiao.

The resilient Dragon Claw could not be easily pierced.

The man seemed to realize the situation was unfavorable and was about to flee, but suddenly an Ice Arrow thundered down from the sky. Though it didn't pierce him, it caused him to stagger, slowing him down considerably.

The Ice Arrow technique was naturally released by Shen Dian.

"Nice!"

Ling Xiao praised, instantly arriving in front of the man, gripping his neck with the terrifying Dragon Claw, then activated the Three-leaf Demon Pupil.

Soul Capturing!

He wanted to extract some information from this man but was too lazy to ask, so he found the Soul Capturing function of the Three-leaf Demon Pupil more convenient.

"Why are you following me?"

Ling Xiao asked.

The man's eyes became dazed, mechanically replying, "Lord Lin ordered that anyone who gets within a mile of the Hell Fruit be killed without exception!"

"I see. Tell me everything you know about this Featherization Festival."

Ling Xiao continued. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"The County Magistrate ordered us to assist the younger generation of the Chen Family in killing the younger generation of the Ling Family. The battle has been going on for a while now, leaving few of the Ling Family's young generation alive."

The man answered.

"What!"

Ling Xiao had previously speculated that the Chen Family might act but hadn't imagined it would reach such an extent.

"If anything happens to Jiaojiao, I'll make the County Magistrate pay with his life."

Ling Xiao's hand suddenly exerted force, killing the Ninth Celestial Realm Martial Artist on the spot, incinerating him into ashes with black flames.

"Shen Dian, let's go!"

Ling Xiao executed Meteor Step, weaving through the dense forest, as Shen Dian flew back into Ling Xiao's Storage Ring again.

Though it was just a small test, the collaboration between Ling Xiao and Shen Dian was reasonably coordinated.

Shen Dian attacked with the Secret Technique Sword. While not extremely powerful, it proved useful at crucial moments.

For Ling Xiao, it was undoubtedly a major asset at this stage.

"Shen Dian, as long as you sincerely assist me, I will someday release your seal and reshape your physical body."

Ling Xiao was a straightforward person, good to those who were good to him.

If the Ling Family had treated him slightly better, he would have reciprocated accordingly.

Unfortunately, they hadn't; the Ling Family deeply disappointed him.

His current goal was solely to save Ling Jiaojiao.

With the Tai Chi Eye activated, Ling Xiao clearly saw the situation a few miles ahead, guided by the directions given by the man, there was no way he could go wrong in this direction.

As for why the Chen Family would team up with the Eight Immortals County Magistrate to annihilate the Ling Family, he didn't know.

Nor did he wish to know.

Because for him, it did not matter much.

His figure, like a meteor, darted through the forest, as more and more bodies appeared on the ground.

Most were from the Ling Family, occasionally a few were from the Chen Family.

After all, the Ling Family Martial Artists were not entirely weak.

Ling Jian, Ling Jiaojiao, and Ling Yan were not ones to be trifled with.

More people here!

About five or six miles away, Ling Xiao saw several individuals being surrounded by the Chen Family.

But due to the chaos, he couldn't discern who was there.

To ensure Ling Jiaojiao's safety, he hastened toward that direction.
