Chapitre 65: The Bodhi Fruit is ripe
"Hmm?"
Emperor Li Cheng looked at Xiao Yun in front of him, a trace of surprise and doubt appearing in his eyes. He had heard the discussions around him earlier, so he knew that Xiao Yun came from the Chaos Holy Land.
In other words, this person was the one mentioned by Elder Wan Yanghui, the one who had defeated their Taichu Holy Land's Lightning Body Resolving Jade Dragon, Xiao Yun.
This made Emperor Li Cheng feel strange.
Before entering, the high-level members of the Taichu Holy Land had given Zhou Feiyu and the others a strict order to kill Xiao Yun and make the Chaos Holy Land suffer another defeat.
As for Emperor Li Cheng, the high-level members of the Taichu Holy Land did not give him any orders.
Because in the eyes of the high-level members of the Taichu Holy Land, a mere mortal like Xiao Yun was not even a match for Zhou Feiyu and the others, so there was no need for Emperor Li Cheng to bother.
When Emperor Li Cheng heard that Xiao Yun was just a mortal, he didn't pay much attention to him.
By now, they had already been inside the True Dragon Nest for some time, so Zhou Feiyu and the others should have already killed Xiao Yun.
But why did this person appear here?
A trace of doubt flashed in Emperor Li Cheng's eyes. Could it be that those waste like Zhou Feiyu and the others couldn't even find a person?
While Li Cheng was observing Xiao Yun, Jiang Haoran and Zhao Wujin beside him also looked at Xiao Yun.
Zhao Wujin immediately recognized Xiao Yun and couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Xiao Yun, I didn't expect you to be here. You haven't encountered any danger on the way, have you?"
Zhao Wujin's tone unexpectedly carried a hint of concern, which surprised the people nearby. Only a few people knew that Xiao Yun had already "joined" Zhao Wujin.
And naturally, Zhao Wujin regarded Xiao Yun as his follower, which was why he was so concerned.
After all, he was his designated top general.
"Are you crazy?" Xiao Yun glared at Zhao Wujin. If it weren't for Li Cheng's presence, he would have slapped him already.
However, Xiao Yun knew that his biggest enemy at the moment was Li Cheng. Once he dealt with Li Cheng, he could take care of Zhao Wujin.
At that moment, Xiao Yun walked closer to the Bodhi Tree while observing Li Cheng in front of him, speculating about his strength.
"Halt!"
Jiang Haoran finally spoke up. He stared sharply at Xiao Yun, his gaze filled with disdain, and proudly said, "This is not a place where any cat or dog can come. Get lost quickly. You don't have the qualifications to compete with us for the Bodhi Fruit."
"And who are you, a dog? How dare you bark in front of me!" Xiao Yun coldly stared at Jiang Haoran.
"How audacious!" Jiang Haoran didn't expect that a nobody like Xiao Yun would dare to speak to him disrespectfully. He was instantly filled with rage and was about to take action.
"You're the audacious one!" Zhao Wujin, who was beside him, looked coldly at Jiang Haoran and snorted, "This is my follower, my top general. I brought him here. Do you have any objections?"
Jiang Haoran's face darkened, but he didn't say anything further.
Although he was also an extraordinary talent, Zhao Wujin was a disciple of the Holy Land, and their Holy King Sect, despite its formidable reputation, still couldn't compare to the Holy Land in terms of foundation.
However, Jiang Haoran took a deep look at Xiao Yun, a flash of coldness fleeting in his eyes. It was evident that he had remembered this person and intended to settle the score later.
Xiao Yun didn't pay any attention to Jiang Haoran at all. His gaze was fixed on Li Cheng in front of him, his eyes flickering as he speculated about the opponent's strength.
"You're lucky. It seems you haven't encountered Zhou Feiyu and the others," Li Cheng said coldly, his eyes glancing at Xiao Yun. Then he casually asked, "Did you manage to escape because you didn't encounter them?"
Xiao Yun was taken aback. Although he smiled indifferently, it seemed that Li Cheng thought he was able to come here alive because he didn't encounter Zhou Feiyu and the others, so he managed to save his life.
Li Cheng was still unaware that Zhou Feiyu and the others had already been completely killed by Xiao Yun.
After all, this news was too shocking.
Thinking about this, Xiao Yun looked at Emperor Li Cheng and sneered, "I've always been lucky. For example, this Bodhi Fruit hasn't ripened yet. It seems to be waiting for my arrival."
"Ha!" Jiang Haoran scoffed beside him, looking at Xiao Yun with mockery on his face. Apparently, he thought Xiao Yun was too arrogant to consider this Bodhi Fruit as his own. Did he think they three extraordinary geniuses were just decorations?
However, Zhao Wujin wasn't angry. He crossed his arms and looked at Xiao Yun with shining eyes, praising, "Truly worthy of being my top general. Your aura is extraordinary. I can already envision you sweeping across the world with me in the future!"
Xiao Yun couldn't be bothered to deal with this lunatic. He shifted his gaze, observing the Bodhi Fruit in front of him. He noticed that there were only three petals left on the Bodhi Tree, indicating that it was nearing maturity.
Xiao Yun wouldn't make a move until the Bodhi Fruit had fully ripened. Otherwise, with three extraordinary geniuses present, any one of them could easily destroy the Bodhi Fruit.
Xiao Yun stared at the three remaining petals on the Bodhi Tree, patiently waiting.
The other three extraordinary geniuses also waited patiently. They didn't consider Xiao Yun a threat because, apart from defeating Zhang Yunfei, he didn't have any noteworthy achievements.
If Xiao Yun had a special physique or came from the Chaos Holy Land, Li Cheng and Zhao Wujin might have taken notice of him.
But Xiao Yun was just an ordinary individual, so Li Cheng and the others didn't pay much attention to him.
...
Time passed slowly.
Soon after, two petals fell from the Bodhi Tree, landing on the ground and merging with the soil, transforming into invisible spiritual energy that nourished the Bodhi Tree.
A faint halo emanated from the Bodhi Tree, and the Bodhi Fruit became even more dazzling and radiant. Its golden brilliance was incredibly resplendent, accompanied by a refreshing fragrance.
Instantly, the gazes of everyone present became solemn, and they held their breath.
Because they all knew that the Bodhi Fruit was about to ripen!
Only one petal remained, and once it fell, it would signify the maturity of the Bodhi Fruit.
At that moment, the eyes of Li Cheng and the other two extraordinary geniuses turned sharp, like sharp swords, tightly fixed on the Bodhi Fruit, while also remaining vigilant of each other.
Xiao Yun, on the other hand, was ignored by them.
And he was fine with that. He stared at the Bodhi Fruit for a while, then glanced at Li Cheng and the others, considering whom to make his move against.
"Now, it's apparent that Li Cheng has the strongest and fastest power. If I were Zhao Wujin or Jiang Haoran, I would certainly team up to deal with him."
Xiao Yun calculated in his mind, his eyes flickering.
He had already decided whom to target: Li Cheng.
By eliminating Li Cheng first, who possessed incredible speed, Xiao Yun could prevent him from seizing the Bodhi Fruit. If Li Cheng managed to grab it, no one would be able to catch up to him if he decided to flee.
A flash of silver light appeared in Xiao Yun's hand as he swiftly took out a silver flying knife, gripping it tightly.
Just at that moment, the last petal on the Bodhi Tree fell, and boundless golden light converged, making the Bodhi Fruit shine like the sun.
The pupils of the three extraordinary geniuses present contracted, and then brilliant divine light burst forth from their eyes.
