Wang Baole: Master, help me!

The Great Void Secret Realm, Hundred Treasures Mountain.

This is the medicine garden of the Great Void Sect, where all kinds of medicinal herbs can be found everywhere.

Moreover, each one is a thousand-year-old medicinal herb, rarely seen elsewhere, but not uncommon here.

Therefore, this is also where major forces clash.

Scenes of people fighting over a thousand-year-old medicinal herb are commonplace.

Behind Hundred Treasures Peak, a dozen or so disciples from different sects of the Holy Land were chasing after a man and a woman.

The man was broad and stout; even though he was wearing a Black Robe, it couldn't hide his round body.

The woman was beautiful, but she looked somewhat disheveled at this moment.

"Young Master Wang, there's no road ahead."

No sooner had the woman finished speaking than several bald monks blocked their path.

The dozen or so cultivators who were chasing the two took this opportunity to surround them, giving them no chance to escape.

"Miss Nangong, stand behind me. With me here, you will be absolutely safe." The man in Black Robe spoke with exceptional firmness.

Without thinking twice, the woman stood directly behind the man in Black Robe.

This duo is none other than Wang Baole and Nangong Yu.

Wang Baole arrived at Hundred Treasures Mountain entirely by relying on his own senses, and happened to encounter Nangong Yu fighting with several people. He then intervened and saved Nangong Yu. After revealing his identity, the two teamed up to search for treasure.

With his keen sense of smell and perception of tonics, he quickly discovered a thousand-year-old medicinal herb— the Dragon Blood Fruit.

The Dragon Blood Fruit is produced by the Dragon Blood Grass, which blooms every five hundred years and bears fruit every thousand years.

The fruit contains the power of dragon blood. Cultivators only need to consume one to not only greatly increase their power but also temper their bodies.

Therefore, the two had just picked nine Dragon Blood Fruit when they were targeted by people from other forces.

"Snort!"

A disciple of the Blood God Sect sneered, "Boy, you're about to die, and you're still thinking about playing the hero and saving the beauty. Don't you even know if you're good enough for this beauty?"

A disciple from the Nine Nether Holy Land remarked, "Xue Sha, didn't you always say you weren't interested in beautiful women? Why are you suddenly interested in a young lady?"

Xue Sha laughed and said, "I'm not interested in beautiful women, but this young lady looks like a virgin, and she comes from an extraordinary background. Using her blood to practice my skills will definitely be twice as effective."

Those around frowned slightly upon hearing this. Although the Blood God Sect was known as a holy land, it was actually a demonic sect.

If it weren't for everyone's coveting of the Dragon Blood Fruit in the hands of these two, they would never have associated with the Blood God Sect; it would be too shameful to be associated with them.

"Amitabha!"

A young monk draped in a red robe chanted, "Esteemed benefactor, if you hand over the Dragon Blood Fruit, I, Monk Puyuan, can guarantee that you and the woman beside you will leave safely."

As a disciple of the Great Thunderclap Temple, he naturally had no intention of aiding and abetting evil, and his purpose in coming here was only for the Dragon Blood Fruit, not for killing anyone.

Upon hearing this, Xue Sha of the Blood God Sect subconsciously narrowed his eyes at the Monk Puyuan not far away and said coldly, "Monk Puyuan, don't think that just because you're one of the four prodigies of the Great Thunderclap Temple, I'll be afraid of you. Today, I'm going to have that little girl!"

As he finished speaking, a terrifying aura emanated from Xue Sha. He was enveloped in blood -Xue Sha light, and his mere presence made him look like a demon, inspiring fear in all who beheld him.

Seeing this, Wang Baole was not afraid at all. Instead, he smiled and said to Puyuan, "Thank you for your kindness, Master. But since you are a polite cultivator, you should leave quickly, otherwise you will be in big trouble when I make a move."

These words shocked everyone present!

Even Nangong Yu, who was standing behind Wang Baole, looked at Wang Baole with a surprised expression.

Could it be that Young Master Wang has lost his mind?

He was clearly just a Dao Foundation cultivator. Xue Sha and Monk Puyuan were both geniuses of the True Fate Realm. How dare he say such a thing?

"Hahaha..."

Xue Sha suddenly burst into laughter. He looked at Puyuan and said, "Little monk, you see? This kid not only doesn't appreciate it, but he also looks down on you. If I were you, I would have beaten him down right now."

Upon hearing this, Monk Puyuan frowned slightly. He had never liked fighting and killing, but today he had been underestimated. He was determined to teach this kid a lesson and show him his power.

"Amitabha Buddha, since you remain stubbornly deluded, then please don't blame this humble monk for being impolite."

As he spoke, a burst of Buddhist light appeared on his body, and a powerful pressure instantly enveloped Wang Baole and the other man.

Wang Baole remained calm and composed despite witnessing this scene, but no one noticed the jade pendant he was holding in his left hand.

"Sigh... Monk, I thought you were a good person, but I didn't expect you to try to rob me too."

He looked around at everyone present and asked, "Do you know why I ran away?"

"Isn't that obvious, kid? Of course you're afraid of us!"

Xue Sha said with a disdainful look. He felt that this kid was a bit clueless. He asked, "In this secret realm, how many people would dare to face so many powerful people like us all by themselves?"

"No, I was just worried about accidentally hurting my fellow disciples. Now that there's no one else here, I can attack without restraint."

Wang Baole slowly raised his hand as he spoke.

"Pfft... Hahaha..."

Xue Sha couldn't hold back and burst into laughter. "Kid, I really don't know how you've survived so many days in the Great Void Secret Realm! Come at me all at once, whoever grabs the Dragon Blood Fruit gets it!"

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Baole shouted, "Master, help me! Slay!!!"

Clang!

A Sword Qi tens of meters long burst forth from the Sword Jade, slashing towards Xue Sha and his group.

When Xue Sha saw that sword, the smile on his face froze instantly. That sword actually contained the True Essence of Sword Dao, which even his master had only barely comprehended.

Escape!

Those around who saw this sword strike instinctively used their escape techniques to flee.

But to everyone's astonishment, even before the sword fell, they felt a sense of having nowhere to escape.

Everyone present stared wide-eyed as the sword fell.

Boom!

With a single sword strike, the previously noisy back mountain fell silent.

The dozen or so cultivators who had been chasing Wang Baole and Nangong Yu fell instantly.

The Xue Sha, bearing the brunt of the attack, was utterly annihilated, beyond any hope of survival.

Puyuan and the others who witnessed all of this were completely terrified. They stood frozen in place, sweating profusely as they stared at the huge crack cleaved by that terrifying Sword Qi.

Nangong Yu's mouth also turned into an "O" shape. No wonder Young Master Wang was so confident; it turned out he had such a treasure in his possession.

Instead of immediately touching the corpse, Wang Baole turned to look at the terrified monks.

A slight smile played on his lips. "Monk, you spared me just now, so I'll spare you too. You can leave as long as you keep your storage rings and bags. Is that fair?"

Puyuan snapped out of his shock upon hearing this. He wanted to refuse, but seeing the Sword Jade in Wang Baole's hand, he held back.

Although he possessed a treasure left to him by his sect that could temporarily save his life, he dared not gamble on how many more Sword Qi the Sword Jade could unleash.

"This humble monk concedes defeat!"

After saying this, Puyuan took off his storage ring and respectfully placed it on the ground.

The two monks behind him did the same, putting down their storage bags and leaving together.

Wang Baole immediately collected the spoils of war; these items had cost his master a sword strike and couldn't be wasted.

After he finished his work, Nangong Yu came to his senses and asked, "Young Master Wang, you're amazing! Where are we going next?"

Wang Baole laughed and said, "It's not that impressive, it's just that my master is stronger than theirs. Next, let's go take a look in these mountains. I can already smell some delicious food..."
