Chapter 352: I’ll Count to Three

“What are you doing?”

Looking at the two young girls in his arms, Lin Xun was stunned; it was impossible not to be angry.

He could have caught this lightning bolt safely on his own.

But man, he hadn’t expected these two to block his way.

It forced him to protect them.

Otherwise, with the impact just now, several of these girls’ bones would have broken.

“You saved us,”

the elder sister of the Dragon Cry Twin Girls spoke slowly, her expression full of self-reproach, knowing she had only hindered him.

“So… we wanted to help you. S-sorry.”

“No need, you’ll only get in the way.”

Lin Xun said unceremoniously.

Releasing their soft, slender waists, Lin Xun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

“Don’t wander around here.”

With those words, Lin Xun charged straight up, leaving only his back to the two.

Lin Xun reached out to retrieve his long spear.

Just then, a purple Sword Qi slashed across the sky! It completely dispersed the Thunder Dragon manifestation, causing the Thunder Bead to drop.

Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Qingshang flew toward the canopy of the rootless tree with her sword, not even glancing at the Thunder Bead.

The direction Jiang Qingshang was heading was exactly where the rootless fruit was located.

Lin Xun didn’t know how Jiang Qingshang confirmed the location of the rootless fruit, but it didn’t matter anymore.

Lin Xun also didn’t hesitate and chased after Jiang Qingshang.

Seeing that no one was picking up this Thunder Bead, dozens of nearby Cultivators rushed toward it.

But a Spear Qi passed through the air, and all the Cultivators who wanted to snatch the Thunder Bead were repelled.

Under the escort of the Spear Qi, that Thunder Bead fell directly in front of the Dragon Cry Twin Girls.

To Lin Xun and Jiang Qingshang, this Thunder Bead was useless; at most, it would be resold or kept as a collectible.

But for a Cultivator practicing lightning techniques,

this Thunder Bead could definitely be called a priceless treasure!

In Lin Xun’s view, although the Dragon Cry Twin Girls had just hindered him once,

they had indeed risked their lives to save him, truly intending to trade two lives for one.

Plus, they had been persistently looking for him to repay their debt.

Lin Xun felt these two girls were quite good, so giving them a small gift didn’t matter.

The elder sister of the Dragon Cry Twin Girls reached out, and the Thunder Bead landed gently in the girl’s fair palm.

The elder sister, who practiced the Thunder Dragon technique, held the Thunder Bead and blinked her eyes while looking in Lin Xun’s direction.

Although she didn’t know why he would give her the Thunder Bead,

she now owed him another huge favor.

And within the canopy of the rootless tree, Lin Xun and Jiang Qingshang simultaneously saw two crystal-clear fruits growing at the core.

rootless fruit!

And there were only two!

The strange beasts guarding the Heaven And Earth Treasure appeared again and pounced on the two.

With one spear and one sword, all the strange beasts blocking their path were dissipated into blood mist.

At this moment, both Lin Xun and Jiang Qingshang noticed that their biggest enemy was each other.

As Jiang Qingshang was about to seize the two rootless fruits, black Spear Qi swept toward her.

Jiang Qingshang had to temporarily pull back and defend with her sword.

And just as Lin Xun was about to seize the rootless fruit, purple Sword Qi forced him to block with his spear, pushing him back ten meters.

The two faced each other from a distance within the canopy of the rootless tree, their eyes narrowing.

Although both Lin Xun and Jiang Qingshang didn’t want to admit it,

but…

the other was definitely the strongest person of their age they had ever seen.

At this time, less than an hour remained before the entrance/exit of the Rootless Secret Realm would open.

He had to get the rootless fruit within this hour.

But the opponent was very troublesome!

This couldn’t be resolved in a short time.

“Lin Xun, you are Wang Xing’s friend. Name a price. As long as you give me these two rootless fruits, I can give you at least one half-immortal weapon,” Jiang Qingshang said coldly.

“Heh.” Lin Xun chuckled contemptuously, “I’ll give you two half-immortal weapons; how about you let me have these two fruits?”

Jiang Qingshang’s beautiful eyes narrowed: “If you need to repair your injuries, I can give you better medicinal herbs than this!”

Lin Xun crossed his arms: “Sorry, I’ve set my sights on the rootless fruit.”

Jiang Qingshang tilted her head: “No way to negotiate?”

“I suppose so.”

As soon as Lin Xun and Jiang Qingshang finished speaking, they both vanished from their spots. Within the canopy of the rootless tree, purple Sword Qi and black Spear Qi continuously permeated the air.

In the Rootless Secret Realm, both Lin Xun and Jiang Qingshang were in the Golden Core Realm.

And both were known as invincible among their peers.

Lin Xun and Jiang Qingshang engaged in close combat, fighting a hundred rounds in just ten breaths!

Lin Xun fought more bravely and crazily as the battle progressed.

Lin Xun even had a thought.

That was, when this Jiang Qingshang reached the Spirit Refining Realm, he could have a proper fight with her! Without holding anything back!

Honestly!

This Jiang Qingshang was much more formidable than Jiang Yue.

But unfortunately,

at the Golden Core Realm, his Golden Core was special and slightly superior.

Inside Lin Xun’s Dantian, that black Golden Core released spiritual energy that filled his blood.

*Clang!*

Using his spear as a staff, Lin Xun swung it down fiercely at Jiang Qingshang!

Jiang Qingshang blocked with her sword horizontally, but it felt like a whole world had struck her blade.

Just as Jiang Qingshang was about to be knocked out of the canopy, green vines continuously spread out and caught her firmly.

“I wish you success in obtaining the rootless fruit!”

A voice echoed in Jiang Qingshang’s ear. Just as she was about to turn her head, the Yin-Yang School’s Lesser Minister of Fate and Xia Xiaomeng stepped forward together.

There were only two rootless fruits.

Although Xia Xiaomeng wanted to personally make Lin Xun a Cultivator,

with this guy standing in the way, she wouldn’t be able to snatch it if they didn’t join forces.

He was the Demon Son Lin Xun, the Lin Xun with the same name as Xiao Xun, the strongest existence in the world!

Anyway, if Qinger wanted the rootless fruit, it must be for the same reason as her—to make Xiao Xun a Cultivator!

In that case, she would help Qinger get the rootless fruit.

At the same time, Ruo Wangchen, Bai Luoxue, and the others also arrived.

Sikong Wangxing and Zhu Ling didn’t know who to help for a moment and were very conflicted.

However, Ruo Wangchen and Bai Luoxue didn’t think that much and stood directly by Lin Xun’s side.

Su Ying and Nong Qin didn’t even need to be mentioned.

If calculated this way, Lin Xun’s side was actually much stronger than Jiang Qingshang’s.

But even so,

if they continued to tangle like this, an hour would definitely not be enough!

“Fighting like this won’t produce a result, and none of us have time. You and I are currently at an equal distance from the rootless fruit,” Lin Xun suggested. “I’ll count to three. Just the two of us will go for the rootless fruit at the same time. Whoever gets it, it belongs to them! How about it?”

“Agreed!”

“Fine.”

Lin Xun nodded.

“Three, two… one!”
