Chapter 514

"We're here!"

The Black-Hearted True Person, with a bear's head and a human body, licked his bloody mouth, excitement flashing in his eyes.

Among these people.

Only he and He Jiuxuan knew about the Immortal Fruit.

They had come with the intent to kill.

Si Feng was, like him, an elder of the Wan Fadian; he wouldn't be naive enough to think that once Si Feng was rescued, he would willingly hand over the Immortal Fruit with both hands.

On the contrary.

As long as Si Feng was rescued, he would never again have a connection to the Immortal Fruit.

This great fortune would either be occupied by Si Feng or valued by those great figures of the Wan Fadian.

So the most correct course of action was to kill and seize the treasure.

The Black-Hearted True Person already belonged to a different lineage than Si Feng.

Killing him was even less of a burden.

In the blink of an eye.

Si Feng's cell appeared before the Black-Hearted True Person.

The commotion caused was simply too great.

So much so that Si Feng had long since discovered that something was wrong, and at this moment, he happened to meet the Black-Hearted True Person's fierce gaze.

There was no joy of seeing a fellow sect member in Si Feng's eyes.

But there was also not much sadness.

"Finally..."

He had already guessed the reason for the Black-Hearted True Person's appearance here.

There was no sadness, nor was there fear.

There was even a trace of pleasure at the impending liberation.

Si Feng tilted his head and looked at the pile of hay he had already lost count of how many times he had counted.

'If there's a next time, I'll still eat it!'

For a moment.

A heroic spirit actually arose.

Then he closed his eyes, quietly waiting for the Black-Hearted True Person to take his life.

But he waited for a full few breaths.

He never waited for that life-reaping strike.

He opened his eyes.

And saw a middle-aged man in a white robe with a profound aura appear before him.

The Imperial Preceptor of the Great Yu!

The Imperial Preceptor stood with his hands behind his back, looking calmly at the Black-Hearted True Person who was confronting him: "Demonic path, leave now, or... die!"

Every word was incomparably domineering.

Of course.

If it were still two generations ago, the people in the Jingcheng would surely remember how this Imperial Preceptor had slaughtered three thousand demonic cultivators in the Jingcheng.

If he could do it before, he could do it now.

The Black-Hearted True Person narrowed his eyes, looking at the Imperial Preceptor who had rushed over from the capital.

He was not panicked.

The appearance of the Imperial Preceptor was already within their expectations.

The Black-Hearted True Person's bear face revealed excitement: "I heard you're very good at fighting?"

"Today I'll try to see how much water is in it."

After speaking.

He actually expanded his figure directly, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a giant beast a hundred feet tall, quite resembling the legendary great divine ability of "Law of Heaven and Earth."

The terrifying body smashed through the roof of the Black Prison, giving off endless pressure.

The Imperial Preceptor appeared incomparably small.

But the next instant.

A giant divine sword comparable to the Black-Hearted True Person tore through the night, slashing toward the Black-Hearted True Person.

Back then, countless cultivators died under this sword.

It had not been used for two generations.

The two powerhouses fought, and the mere aftermath of the battle forced people to retreat three times over.

In a corner of the Black Prison.

A figure flashed by, completely unaffected by the fierce battle between the two powerhouses.

"Black-Hearted True Person?"

Li Rui narrowed his eyes.

Looking at the monster cultivator revealing his true form, he recognized at a glance that this monster cultivator was precisely the Black-Hearted True Person, who had a great reputation in the Northern Polar Demonic Sect.

It is said that the original form of this Black-Hearted True Person was a Mountain-Moving Bear.

Looking at this mountain-like body, moving mountains was not impossible.

'He certainly knows how to choose his time.'

Li Rui thought to himself.

With the cultivators descending to the lower realm, the Marquis of Dingyuan and Gu Changsheng were almost all running around outside, and yesterday, the Chief Councilor Zhang also rarely left the capital to inspect the Northern Border, leaving only the Imperial Preceptor as a powerhouse in the Jingcheng.

As for the Holy Emperor, it was naturally impossible for him to take action personally.

It could be said that tonight was the weakest time for the capital.

Of course.

Li Rui did not feel surprised by this.

There were spies planted by the Yu Kingdom in the Northern Polar Demonic Sect, and it was inevitable that the same was true in the Yu Kingdom's court.

While pondering.

The battle between the Imperial Preceptor and the Black-Hearted True Person entered a white-hot stage.

Under the suppression of the giant divine sword, the Black-Hearted True Person's decline was already apparent.

The gold content of the world's martial arts rankings was revealed at this moment.

Even with cultivators descending to the lower realm, the Imperial Preceptor still ranked in the top five in the world, while the Black-Hearted True Person... was in the top thirty.

There was also a gap between those in the Dao Body Realm!

In less than ten moves, the Black-Hearted True Person was suppressed by the Imperial Preceptor.

It wouldn't be long before he was defeated.

'Want to kill Si Feng?'

'It's for the Immortal Fruit...'

Among those demonic cultivators of the Northern Polar Demonic Sect, Li Rui saw the figure of He Jiuxuan.

Connecting it to what he heard in the East Sea before, it was not hard to guess.

The Northern Polar Demonic Sect actually robbed the Black Prison directly for the sake of the Immortal Fruit!

This move could not be called anything but large.

From this, one could also see the importance of that Immortal Fruit.

Sure enough.

It seemed to be to verify Li Rui's thoughts.

Just as the Imperial Preceptor and the Black-Hearted True Person fought to the nine heavens, He Jiuxuan, who had been lurking in a corner of the Black Prison, turned into a phantom and headed straight for Si Feng.

There was blue fluorescence flickering in He Jiuxuan's hand.

It was precisely the Water Dao Stone!

At the same time, He Jiuxuan's right hand was already inverted like a bowl over Si Feng's head.

Si Feng had already had his magic power sealed.

He had absolutely no resistance.

Rolling his eyes, his whole body twitched incessantly, like a shrimp that had its vein pulled out.

The next instant.

A trace of "Immortal Qi" that Li Rui was extremely familiar with was forcibly extracted by He Jiuxuan from Si Feng's dantian, and then stored in the Water Dao Stone.

He Jiuxuan looked at the gradually filling Water Dao Stone.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"It's done!"

That aura flickering with cyan brilliance was precisely the spirit of the Immortal Fruit.

A treasure that legend said contained the great opportunity to become an immortal.

Even for him, a wave of ripples couldn't help but rise in his heart.

Such a supreme divine object as the Immortal Fruit, if it were in the cultivation world, he would have no qualification to touch it.

It was even the same for great cultivators in the Dao Body Realm.

As for why Si Feng was able to steal and eat the Immortal Fruit, that was unknown; there must be a great secret within it.

But just as things were progressing smoothly—

The smile on his face stiffened.

He retreated without hesitation.

Almost at the same time he retreated, a long blade fell fiercely, forcibly severing the Immortal Fruit's spiritual energy between the Water Dao Stone and Si Feng.

Seeing his good deed blocked by someone.

He Jiuxuan was instantly enraged.

"Seeking death!"

The ferocity he had hidden so well was triggered at this moment, and his eyes instantly turned into an eerie blood red.

People of the Wan Fadian all knew.

On ordinary days, this Senior Brother He of the inner sect was a gentle and elegant gentleman, but once he got serious, he would become a peerless demon even more demonic than demonic cultivators.

Most of the people who had seen this side of He Jiuxuan were already dead.

Li Rui was not afraid in the slightest.

He raised his blade and went to meet He Jiuxuan's demonic arts.

"Dragon Slayer" danced wildly.

At the same time, Li Rui attacked with both hands, his left palm releasing the Azure Lotus, the might of the Great Dao of Azure Profundity fully displayed.

Almost in an instant, a fiery red divine sword appeared from He Jiuxuan's hand!

"Great Dao of Smelted Gold!"

"Great Dao of Azure Profundity?!"

Li Rui and He Jiuxuan were both startled.

Who in the world didn't know that the Dao of Azure Profundity and the Dao of Smelted Gold involved a struggle of the Great Dao, and were completely enemies of destiny?

He Jiuxuan had even come to the Jin Ting Small Grotto-Heaven precisely to avoid the Great Dao of Azure Profundity; he never expected to encounter someone who possessed the Great Dao of Azure Profundity again.

Such fate...

He Jiuxuan's eyes flickered; he recognized that the person before him was precisely the person he saw riding a flying magic treasure together with the two from Bai Yujing in the East Sea that day.

Just as he had already developed the intent to kill and planned to use his foundation to annihilate the other party.

Suddenly—

Gu Changsheng's voice sounded from the Black Prison: "Fellow Daoist of the Northern Polar Demonic Sect, since you've come, there's no need to leave."

The next instant.

Two terrifying auras appeared in the Black Prison; besides Gu Changsheng, there was also the Daoist Wang from Bai Yujing who had descended to the lower realm.

It was clearly premeditated!

Seeing this, He Jiuxuan's face changed.

Then his figure became elusive, and finally, he vanished into thin air.

Heaven-Guiding Talisman!

Li Rui watched He Jiuxuan leave, sighing in his heart.
