C1955 He Was Intercepted
The sudden fragrance made everyone understand that the Nether Fruit they had been waiting for was about to ripen.
At the same time, it also meant that the tense battle had arrived.
"Attack!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Heng let out a low roar. The six of them shot out explosively and flew towards the Netherworld Tree.
They completely did not consider any situation where the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Right now, they only wanted to obtain the Netherworld Fruit first.
There were two reasons why they were in such a hurry to seize the Netherworld Fruit. One was naturally to prevent the Nether Ghost King in front of the Nether Tree from swallowing the Nether Fruit in one bite and wasting their efforts. The other was that they had absolute confidence in their strength. They firmly believed that as long as they obtained the Netherworld Fruit... Even if someone really attacked them from behind, they would still be able to defend against the Netherworld Fruit.
Their confidence in their own strength allowed them to make a clean move.
Jiang Heng and the others appeared in a flash, instantly attracting the attention of the Nether Ghost King.
"Roar!"
The Ghost King of the Netherworld furiously attacked the six figures that had shot towards it. It was not a fool, so it naturally saw through the intentions of these people and knew what they wanted to do.
What it wanted to do was to block these people and stop their plan.
The Netherworld Fruit was a supreme treasure that it had guarded for countless years, and in order to protect this Netherworld Fruit. It had not left this place for many years and had always been guarding this place. How could it allow someone to forcibly seize the treasure right under its nose? This was definitely not something that could be done.
Furthermore, the Underworld Fruit was also related to his advancement, and he could not afford to lose it, as it would allow him to become an even more powerful Underworld Ghost King.
Jiang Heng and the others had long expected this to happen when they encountered the obstruction of the Netherworld Ghost King. They had thought of this possibility before they took action.
The six of them instantly split into three groups.
Jiang Heng, Ji Xukong, and Luo Xingchen joined hands and charged towards the Nether Ghost King. Extremely powerful energy fluctuations erupted from their bodies as they unleashed their ultimate killing moves towards the Martial Emperor-level Nether Ghost King in front of them.
If the three of them joined hands, they would be able to fight a Martial Emperor-level opponent for a short period of time. They would not be afraid of the opponent's strength at all.
On the other hand, Ao Lingchen, Tian Qizi, and the other two burst forth with astonishing speed and rushed towards the Nether Fruit Tree in front of them.
Their mission was to obtain the Netherworld Fruit. After that, they would slaughter their way out from the encirclement of these Netherworld Ghosts and leave with the Netherworld Fruit Tree.
Compared to Jiang Heng and the other two people intercepting a Martial Emperor expert, their movements were relatively easier. After all, the one who could truly threaten their lives here was this Martial Emperor level Nether Ghost King. The rest were at most troublesome to deal with.
When Jiang Heng and the other two joined forces, even though they were facing a Martial Emperor-level existence, they were actually able to block and suppress the Nether Ghost King's movements with their combined strength.
The Netherworld Ghost King had completely gone mad when he saw the other three figures rushing towards the Netherworld Tree's crown under the combined suppression of the three of them. He roared at the Netherworld Ghost King's army.
After receiving the call of the king, the Netherworld army completely rebelled. They ferociously charged towards Ao Lingchen and the other two. They wanted to obey the orders of the king and destroy these three little thieves who were attempting to attack the Netherworld Fruit.
However, when the Netherworld army chased after them, Ao Lingchen and Zhan Wuxin attacked directly at the Netherworld army that was besieging them. They wanted to block it, but Tian Qi Zi was even faster than the Arcane Art. He rushed towards the Netherworld Tree in front of him.
This was the plan that Jiang Heng and the others had come up with. It was Jiang Heng. Ji Changkong, Luo Xingchen, and Zhan Wuxin blocked the Netherworld Ghost King. Ao Lingchen and Zhan Wuxin were dealing with the Netherworld army that wanted to attack them. Tian Qizi's mission was to pick the Nether Fruit.
Picking the Nether Fruit required a special method, so one could not pick it forcefully. Otherwise, one would not be able to separate the Nether Fruit from the Nether Tree completely, and it would cause a portion of the energy to be lost.
The reason they came this time was to obtain the intact Nether Fruit. Naturally, it was to give this harvesting mission to Tian Qizi, who had mastered such a method.
When Ao Lingchen and Zhan Wuxin charged at the Nether World Army, he had also witnessed how powerful this renowned Zhan Wuxin was.
A monstrous combat intent was condensed and erupted from his body. He seemed to have transformed into an invincible Battle God, rushing into the army with great force. In an instant, he had killed several shadows, including a Prospective Emperor shadow.
Such a powerful combat strength filled Ao Lingchen's heart with emotion.
So this was the eighth rank of the Wind Cloud List? How could he be so powerful? This combat strength was too terrifying.
Ao Lingchen didn't show any weakness either. His fists interweaved with the law of reincarnation. He also instantly killed the Netherworld army that wanted to charge past him.
After a short confrontation, Ao Lingchen had a little understanding of these Netherworld Great Army. It was just as Jiang Heng and the others had said. Although these Netherworld creatures' cultivation wasn't weak, they were still powerful. Their true combat strength was indeed a little weaker than martial practitioners of the same level who had flesh and blood.
Of course, even if they were slightly weaker, their combat strength was still not simple. There was such a huge army here, and there were so many Martial Ruler warriors and Prospective Emperor warriors. Even if Ao Lingchen and the other two joined forces, they would still feel a tremendous pressure.
The two of them were like a fortress, blocking the rebellion of the army and cutting off their chance to break through.
Ao Lingchen and the others wanted to give Tian Qizi some time to collect the Spirit Fruit.
With Jiang Heng and the others stopping him, Tian Qizi successfully broke through to the crown of the Netherworld Tree.
Without the slightest hesitation, Tian Qizi directly used a harvesting method that he had seen in ancient records to display the Netherworld Fruit in front of him.
Many special imprints evolved from Tian Qizi's hands and interweaved with the Netherworld Fruit. The wondrous energy suppressed the Netherworld Tree's energy and separated the Netherworld Fruit from the Netherworld Tree bit by bit.
The Netherworld Tree also contained powerful energy. It would not be so easy to take away the essence of the Netherworld Fruit. Tian Qizi indeed needed some time to completely separate the Netherworld Fruit from the Netherworld Tree's crown. This was because he wanted to suppress the Netherworld Tree's energy.
Everything was going according to their initial plan, proceeding in an orderly manner.
However, no one was careless. They did not forget that Tian Qizi had peeked into the destiny ahead of them. The Heaven's Legacy that they saw was full of chaos and many twists and turns.
Since the Heaven's Legacy zone was like this, the trip would not be so simple.
Everyone was killing the formidable enemies of the Netherworld army before them, yet everyone was vigilant of the unknown in their hearts, and they were wary of the twists and turns that fate would bring up.
Tian Qizi and the others had a certain guess about the twists and turns of fate, and it should be something unexpected that occurred when they were plucking the Nether Fruit. For example, there was someone who wanted to intercept the Hu and perform the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
With such a warning of fate, Jiang Heng and the others had also held back while they were killing the Netherworld army in front of them, and they were paying attention to the enemies that had not appeared in the dark.
Everyone had a premonition that when Tian Qizi separated the Nether Fruit from the Nether Tree, the rats that were hidden in the dark would jump out. At that time, a great battle would truly break out between them, and they would have to fight intensely with them.
However, the Netherworld Ghost King was currently madly roaring and going crazy.
When he saw that someone was picking the Nether Fruit, he also went completely crazy. He madly attacked Jiang Heng and the others.
This was a treasure that he had painstakingly protected. He would not allow anyone to snatch this treasure before his eyes.
The Nether Ghost King's madness had also caused his destructive power to become even more ferocious. That might had also become even stronger after he had gone berserk.
However, even though the Nether Ghost King, who did not possess a flesh and blood body, was an existence at the Martial Emperor Realm, it was merely the weakest existence amongst the Martial Emperors.
Regardless of whether it was Jiang Heng, Ji Xukong, or Luo Xingchen, they all possessed combat strength comparable to a peak Prospective Emperor. With the combined strength of three peak Prospective Emperor experts, they would be able to suppress this weak Martial Emperor for a short period of time.
Of course, in order to suppress this weak Martial Emperor, Jiang Heng and the others had also unleashed all kinds of powerful combat techniques.
No matter how weak a Martial Emperor was, he was still a Martial Emperor. He was a realm above the Prospective Emperor, a realm that had undergone a super transformation. He was simply not someone who could be compared to someone below the Martial Emperor realm.
In other words, Jiang Heng and the others, who possessed heaven-defying physiques, came from various major undying forces. If it were anyone else, they would have mastered all kinds of Immortal Combat Techniques. Even a peak Prospective Emperor would have to face such a terrifying Nether Ghost King. They would have been killed a long time ago.
In the Netherworld Forest, a few Heavenly Prides from the Human Clan were killing each other. They had actually managed to suppress a part of the Netherworld Kingdom. Such a powerful combat strength was truly admirable.
Just as Jiang Heng and the others were engaged in a fierce battle with the Netherworld Ghost King and the Netherworld army, Tian Qizi's operation had finally succeeded.
Under the control of his secret technique, the nine sparkling and translucent Netherworld Fruits that were emitting a rich fragrance had completely escaped from the crown of the Netherworld Tree.
A wild joy appeared in Tian Qizi's eyes as he looked at the fruits that had escaped from the crown of the Nether World Tree. He knew that he had finally succeeded.
However, before Tian Qizi could put away the fruits in front of him into the Spatial Ring, a black shadow suddenly tore through the sky and arrived.
Tian Qizi did not have the time to react. He was directly hit by a fierce attack. His entire body was like a rock that had been thrown out, smashing heavily onto the ground at the side.
With a loud bang, sand and dust filled the air, and gravel flew everywhere.
A huge pit appeared directly on the ground.
"Tian Qizi!"
Jiang Heng and the others also looked at Tian Qizi, who had been sent flying, with some worry in their eyes. At the same time, their gazes were also focused on the black figure that had suddenly appeared on the crown of the tree.
Everyone's eyes were filled with monstrous fury.
It had actually been intercepted by someone.
The Netherworld Fruit that should have been in their hands had actually been taken away by this black figure that had appeared out of nowhere.
The black shadow looked at the Nether Fruit that was shining with a crystalline light before his eyes. It was as brilliant as a star. The corner of his mouth rose slightly as an ancient voice sounded from his mouth, "Such rich soul power. It is indeed worthy of being called the legendary Nether Fruit. It is indeed not simple. "
As he spoke, the black-clothed person directly put away the Netherworld Fruit.
The rich fragrance that caused one to be fascinated also completely disappeared after the black figure put away the Netherworld Fruit.
When Jiang Heng and the others saw the black figure take away the Netherworld Fruit in front of them, their expressions were dark and cold. Their eyes were filled with monstrous killing intent.
In the end, something still happened. They were really schemed against by the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
