The cliff was steep, and everyone didn’t dare to fly into the air. They could only walk close to the rocks. Xiao Chen was traveling through the crowd at a speed that was almost to the limit. The tip of his foot didn’t touch the ground. Every blade of grass on the cliff, and even the stones that flew into the air, could be used by Xiao Chen.

However, when he was less than twenty feet away from the immortal tree, a figure suddenly attacked. It was obvious that it was here to stop him from approaching the immortal tree. Not only that figure, in the blink of an eye, more than ten figures had appeared nearby to stop him.

These people attacked ruthlessly. They beckoned for the life gate. Xiao Chen pointed his feet and Ling Xian Step spread out. He circled around a person. He raised his palm and controlled life and death. The man’s eyebrows darkened, his body tilted, and he fell down the cliff.

This scene was too fast for a dozen people to see clearly. When that person fell down the cliff, another person had already attacked. This person also didn’t leave any room for action. His fingers formed claws and grabbed Xiao Chen’s throat. However, before he could get close, he was already controlled to take his life, just like the person from before.

In just a short moment, five or six of the dozen or so people had already been killed by the manipulation of life and death. They attacked ruthlessly, but they didn’t expect that this person in front of them would be even more ruthless.

Seeing that he had killed five or six people in an instant, the strangest thing was that those people died in an instant. Without even touching them, they suddenly died. There weren’t any wounds on their bodies. It was truly extremely strange. The remaining people didn’t dare to approach them anymore.

In the distance, many people also looked at the white-haired man with astonished expressions. It was too strange. What kind of cultivation technique was it? It didn’t touch anyone, but killed them in an instant. It was extremely strange.

In the northwest, Brocade Childe and Old man Qingyi were also looking over. Brocade Childe’s expression was uncertain, while Old man Qingyi was thoughtful.

His cultivation was so high that no one else could compare to him. The others couldn’t see it clearly. However, he had just seen clearly that the young man definitely didn’t touch anyone, nor did he hurt them at all. However, he instantly took the lives of those people. It was as if he could control a person’s life and death. What kind of trick was this? Even though he had seen countless miraculous techniques in his life, he couldn’t find a similar technique.

“Tutor, that person is about to get the Vermillion Fruit.”

At this moment, Brocade Childe suddenly frowned and said.

Old man Qingyi slowly regained his senses and shook his head, “There’s no hurry. Old Monster Qi won’t let him succeed. Let’s see.” As he spoke, he looked in another direction.

There was a skinny old man coming towards the cliff at an extremely fast speed. He was slaughtering impermanently. No one who stood in front of him could escape death. He was the skinny old man sitting under the rock in the southeast direction. He was nicknamed Qi Lao Xie. He was not someone from the Four Little Seas. Therefore, most of the people here did not recognize him.

“Whoever approaches this old man’s thirty zhang radius will be killed without mercy!”

His murderous aura was heavy, and his gaze was ice-cold. It was really like killing gods. Some people died under his palm before they could even react. They turned into a bloody mist. Compared to Xiao Chen’s strange killing methods, his methods were much more bloody.

“Harmony … Harmony Stage!”

Finally, a few Soul Formation cultivators reacted. The skinny old man in front of them was not a Cave Ruins Realm cultivator or a Heaven Ruins Realm cultivator, but an expert who had already reached the Harmonious Realm!

Many people trembled when they heard the words “Harmonious Stage”. They never expected that a single Vermillion Fruit would attract the experts of Harmonious Stage. Those who had originally intended to continue fighting for the Vermillion Fruit all hid in the distance.

Even though ten years had passed and a large amount of Spiritual Qi had poured into the entire ancient land of Xianyuan, only a small number of people were able to reach the Harmonious Stage. The Harmonious Stage was completely different from the Ruined Heaven Stage. The Ruined Heaven Stage was only a cultivation realm, but the Harmonious Stage was the initial stage of becoming a Saint.

It was obvious that Old Xie Qi had comprehended the Heavenly Dao and entered the Harmonious Stage. He had already cultivated for at least 1,200 years. The Soul Formation cultivators here had only cultivated for a few hundred years. How could they pass through a single move in his hands? Forcefully rushing forward to stop him was no different from sending him to his death.

Very quickly, Old Xie Qi had already rushed to the vicinity of the Ancient Immortal Tree, and no one dared to stop him. At this moment, Xiao Chen was also nearby.

This time, everyone’s gazes were focused on the two of them. One was an expert at the Harmony Stage, while the other was an invisible murderer with extremely strange cultivation methods. They wanted to see who the two of them fought to the death and ended up with the Vermillion Fruit in their hands.

Evidently, Old Xie Qi also noticed that this white-haired young man in front of him was extraordinary. There was an aura that no one could compare to.

If it was an ordinary person, he would have slapped him to death with one palm. He was too lazy to waste words. However, at this moment, he knew that this person in front of him was not easy to deal with. He said gloomily, “Young man, you still have a lot of time. You don’t have to snatch this fruit from a person who is about to die, do you? How about giving it to this old man? This old man will definitely return this favor to you in the future.”

Evidently, his lifespan was about to expire, but he was unable to reach the True Cave Stage. He had no choice but to use this thousand-year-old Vermillion Fruit to extend his lifespan, or he could only find another way to seize his soul. However, the latter was obviously inferior to the former. Although there were people in this world who successfully seized their souls, it would also damage their cultivation.

Xiao Chen glanced at him and said indifferently, “I’m afraid I can’t give this fruit to Senior if I want to save him.” As he spoke, he stretched out his hand towards the Vermillion Fruit.

“Humph!”

Old Evil Qi coldly snorted. He didn’t say anything else. He suddenly raised his fierce palm and streaks of blood shot out. This palm was extremely powerful. Xiao Chen couldn’t take a hard palm. He could only turn around and strike out. The two palms collided, causing the nearby mountains to collapse and dust to fly up.

The remaining energy surged out. Even those who were far away felt suffocated. Harmonious experts were not at ease. However, they did not expect that the white-haired man’s strength was so deep. He was not shocked at all by the thin old man’s palm strike. Could it be that he had also entered the Harmonious Period? It’s really unimaginable …

Old Evil Qi’s gaze was cold. With just this palm strike, he knew that the opponent’s strength was definitely not inferior to his own. However, Zhu Guo, he was determined to obtain it today. Suddenly, his palm struck out with killing intent and a thick stench of blood pounced towards Xiao Chen. However, countless bloody mist instantly formed between his palms. It was unknown what kind of evil technique this was, but it must be extremely powerful.

“It’s the Blood Soul Curse …”

In the distance, Meng Xian’er’s gaze narrowed. Seeing that the blood mist had already enveloped Xiao Chen, she did not hesitate. Genuine energy’s palms condensed and an ice spike that was about a foot long instantly shot towards the cliff with a “whoosh” sound.

This Ice Thorn was extremely urgent. Old Xie Qi sensed the killing intent and could only restrain his attack. He returned his palm to resist this Ice Thorn. Meanwhile, Xiao Chen took advantage of this moment to break free from the bloody mist and reached out to grab the thousand-year-old Vermillion Fruit on the tree branch.

Old Evil Qi was slightly shocked. He hurriedly circulated his cultivation technique to stop them. The two of them collided with each other’s profound strength once more, causing the cliff to tremble. At this moment, the Vermillion Fruit on the tree was already fully ripe. After being shaken by the two of them, it finally fell off the tree branch and fell towards the bottomless abyss.
