Chapter 1216
byLi Younan’s face was ashen, and he almost sat down on the ground. He thought the Red Candle Fruit was doomed and would surely be brutally poisoned.
Just then, a bolt of lightning struck. With the flicker of electric sparks, the power of the energy pillar was weakened a lot, but it still wasn’t completely dissipated. Under the horrified gaze of everyone, the energy pillar bombarded on the Red Candle Fruit. At this moment, everyone was scared out of their wits.
Whoosh…
The Red Candle Fruit, which had not been affected by the fighting of the crowd, was actually directly blasted out of the valley under the impact of that energy.
Contrary to everyone’s expectations, this seemingly fragile and tender-skinned heaven-defying spiritual fruit was actually unharmed after that blow.
Everyone was overjoyed and immediately launched their body skills, pouncing towards the outside of the valley. A more dangerous battle began.
Just now, the Red Candle Fruit was at the bottom of the valley, and the red energy filled the air. The crowd just stood on the hillock and used various means to collect this spiritual fruit. They hadn’t really had a direct confrontation yet. But now, the Red Candle Fruit has left the valley, making the scene even more chaotic. With so many elite disciples from various sects colliding together, there is bound to be a fierce battle.
On the side of the Shadow Moon Palace, Wei Guchang looked at Yang Kai hesitantly. Yang Kai still didn’t show any sign of opening his eyes until now, which made him very depressed.
Just as he was thinking about whether he should ask Dong Xuan’er to stay and protect the law, Yang Kai suddenly said, “The three of you can go ahead. Don’t worry about me！”
Hearing this, Wei Guchang’s expression immediately lit up. After nodding slightly, he, Dong Xuan’er, and Dai Yuan also shot out. As long as Yang Kai wasn’t immersed in that deep-level perception, there was no need to worry that he would be sneak-attacked and encounter misfortune.
After Wei Guchang and the other three left, Yang Kai suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes shone with a brilliant light, and his essence was overflowing. Occasionally, a hint of joy would flash by.
He finally managed to clarify his vague thoughts at the last moment before the Red Candle Fruit matured. Although he felt that his control over the Saint Yuan had improved to a higher level, now was not a good time to verify it.
Turning his head to look dozens of zhang away, even though Yang Kai had seen the big scene, the scene in front of him couldn’t help but make him frown.
Youdaoplaceholder0 of elite martial artists at the Third-Order Saint King Realm were desperately performing ing martial skills and activating ing secrets treasures, fighting in groups of three or five over there. Everyone was ruthless and showed no mercy. Although the scene was extremely hot, in almost every force, there was one or two people who diverted their attention to pay attention to the situation of the Red Candle Fruit.
Strangely enough, since the Red Candle Fruit was blasted out of the valley by the martial artist of the Star Emperor Sect, it still hasn’t fallen until now. Whenever it was about to fall towards a certain martial artist, there would always be some subtle energy fluctuations that would sweep it aside at the right time, making it continue to fly around in the air.
And the performance of that cold martial artist from the Star Emperor Sect was particularly eye-catching. Fang Tianzhong, Wei Guchang, and Qu Changfeng were in a triangular formation, restricting him tightly and not allowing him to interfere with the matter of the Red Candle Fruit at all. And this guy also showed great power. Fighting against the three rising stars alone, he didn’t fall into any disadvantage. Although this was not a life-and-death battle, being able to resist such three rising stars with his own strength was extremely astonishing.
Yang Kai was secretly shocked and immediately understood that this guy who came out of the Star Emperor Sect was definitely not easy to mess with.
After watching for a while, Yang Kai knew that if nothing unexpected happened, it would be impossible to determine the ownership of this Red Candle Fruit in a short time. At least after some people died and everyone’s strength was fully exerted, it was possible to settle the dust.
But in the end, it was really hard to say who would get it.
Yang Kai was not uninterested in the Red Candle Fruit. After all, this heaven-defying spiritual fruit was of the upper-grade Void King level, and he had never seen it before. If it was used to refine pills, it would definitely be of great benefit to the growth of his own alchemy skills. Moreover, after being refined into pills, it could also help the Void Returning Third-layer martial artists break through the bottleneck and promote to the Void King Realm. Such a spiritual fruit in the hands of the right person might create at least four or five Void King Realm powerhouses.
But the fighting scene was too chaotic.
Yang Kai calculated that even if he rushed in, the chance of snatching the Red Candle Fruit was less than 10%. It was really not worth it to cause trouble for himself in the end.
What’s more, this thing was also a hot potato. Except for the dozens of elites who could snatch it and possess it, if the Red Candle Fruit fell into his hands without a huge background, it would only bring disaster！
So he had already made up his mind not to participate in the fight of the Red Candle Fruit. It was precisely because of this thought of staying out of it that he had been realized there and had no intention of being tempted at all.
However… Although he wouldn’t get involved in the scramble for the Red Candle Fruit, it didn’t mean that Yang Kai had no other plans.
Glancing at the valley filled with red energy, Yang Kai grinned, silent and mysterious. While everyone’s attention was attracted by the Red Candle Fruit, his figure quietly flickered and directly slipped into the valley, disappearing within the red energy.
The Red Candle Fruit was indeed precious and rare, but the root that gave birth to it was also a rare treasure.
The root of the Red Candle Fruit was called the Red Candle Stand. If it could be placed in a place with rich spiritual energy, it could absorb the spiritual energy and then bear a spiritual fruit similar to the Red Candle Fruit at the top.
Of course, the fruit thus produced was not a real Red Candle Fruit and did not have the effect of helping Void Return Realm martial artists break through their realm, but it had the ability to help martial artists temper their physical bodies.
And what Yang Kai fancied was precisely this ability of the spiritual fruit.
The benefits of a powerful physical body were self-evident. His physical body was countless times stronger than that of martial artists of the same level. Even ordinary Void Return Realm martial artists could not compare with him in terms of physical body strength.
As his strength increased and as he came into contact with martial artists of higher levels, Yang Kai found that the strength of his physical body was vaguely lagging behind These days, he had been injured many times which was enough to make him vigilant.
Moreover, after he unleashes the power to tear space, he also needs an extremely strong physical body as a backup. Otherwise, he simply cannot withstand the strangulation force of the space crack.
If he could possess the Red Candle Platform and take such a spiritual fruit from time to time to temper his physical body, that would be quite perfect. As long as he is given enough time, he can once again increase the strength of his physical body.
By then, whether it is fighting with others or tearing space, it will be extremely convenient.
He doesn’t need the Red Candle Fruit for the time being, and he believes that with his own abilities and the combination of everything he has now, there should be no problem in breaking through and promoting to the Void King Realm. What is lacking is just the accumulation of time. But the Red Candle Platform is what he needs at present, so he will not participate in the scramble for the Red Candle Fruit and is ready to secretly take away the Red Candle Platform and be done with it.
Yang Kai’s wishful thinking, but unexpectedly, someone else thought of the same thing as him.
When he secretly sneaked into the valley and searched for the Red Candle Platform in the place filled with red energy, he happened to see a blurred figure happily put something into his own Space Ring.
Who this person is, Yang Kai doesn’t know, but he knows that what the other party took away is definitely the Red Candle Platform without a doubt.
To stay here at this time to collect the Red Candle Holder indicates that this person has a very deep understanding of the Red Candle Fruit. Dai Yuan is fighting with others outside, and Li Younan of the Medicine and Pill Sect is also fighting with others outside. It can’t be these two people.
Then the person staying here is most likely a member of the Medicine and Pill Sect. I’m afraid he has long received instructions from Li Younan, so he deliberately stays behind.
When Yang Kai discovered him, he also obviously discovered Yang Kai. In great shock, his Saint Yuan surged violently. But before he could perform any killing moves a puff sound came out. This person let out an extremely short scream and immediately lost his movement.
A bloody smell spread. Yang Kai’s eyes shrank. The Wind and Thunder Wings on his back unfold suddenly and he immediately rushed to the front of the person who took away the Red Candle Fruit. Without thinking too much, he directly snatched the opponent’s Space Ring and then quickly retreated.
Yang Kai’s movements were extremely fast. With the help of that close-up moment, he saw a creepy scene.
The one who took away the Red Candle Holder was indeed a disciple of the Medicine and Pill Sect. Yang Kai guessed correctly. However, on his chest, an arm penetrated his body. On that big hand, it was still holding the heart of this Medicine and Pill Sect disciple, beating powerfully.
Moreover, this arm was extremely unusual. It looked extremely dry, like a withered log, but it could suck the blood essence of the Medicine Pill Sect disciple. Before Yang Kai retreated, he clearly saw the corpse of this Medicine Pill Sect disciple quickly wither and turn into a mummy.
There is a third person！
No matter who this third person is, being able to kill a Martial Artist at the Third-Order Saint King Realm in a sneak attack in an instant and using such a strange method is definitely extraordinary.
Almost at the moment he snatched the Space Ring, another hand also reached out, but it caught nothing, and immediately a soft was heard.
Puff…
The sound of something bursting rang out. In front of Yang Kai, the corpse of the Medicine Pill Sect disciple scattered, but there was no one behind him. The third person who killed him disappeared strangely, as if completely integrated into the surrounding environment.
In this valley filled with red energy, the line of sight was extremely blocked, and one could not see anything three feet away.
Yang Kai released his Divine Consciousness power without hesitation. Wisps of imperceptible thought threads spread out around him, laying out a tight net, not missing any space or any corner. But to his horror, the third person actually disappeared really, and even his powerful Divine Consciousness could not detect the slightest bit.
But he knew that the other party definitely hadn’t left. Since he was staying here, he must be eyeing the Red Candle Holder. Now that the Red Candle Holder was in his hands, if the other party wanted it, he would surely come looking for him.
Suddenly, a strand of the imperceptible thought filaments spread around Yang Kai’s body transmitted some minuscule and imperceptible movement. Under normal circumstances, Yang Kai wouldn’t have paid attention, but at this moment, all the hairs on his body stood on end. He quickly turned around, and a ball of burning demonic flame tumbled on his fist, powerfully and heavily blasting towards a certain place in the void.
