#316 - It's a ghost!
Just as Xu Ming was about to touch the main Blood Bodhi fruit, two other people were about to as well.
The three of them paused and glanced at each other.
None of them had expected that someone would be even faster than them!
Immediately afterward, the three exchanged blows, and the force of the impact sent them flying backward.
Steadying himself, Xu Ming looked at the two people who had exchanged blows with him.
One of them was dressed in what looked like barbarian clothing, with several painted lines on his face.
The other was also dressed in exotic attire, and judging from the demonic aura emanating from him, he was likely a genius from the Southern Border Demon Kingdom.
"I didn't expect that someone of the same realm could actually withstand one of my blows."
The three of them thought simultaneously, their expressions showing some astonishment.
In their view, their blow should have either killed or crippled the opponent, but they hadn't expected the other's palm technique to be just as fierce, which took them by surprise.
It wasn't that they were arrogant, but such a thing had never happened before.
However, Xu Ming was the first to react, rushing towards the main Bodhi fruit again.
If he could get the Blood Bodhi fruit first and then use the Release Heart Buddhist defensive technique, combined with the movement techniques taught by "God Thief," he could escape Blood Bodhi Mountain even without flying.
Moreover, in Xu Ming's view, this main Bodhi fruit was absolutely essential.
Otherwise, Qingwan's Great Path would be difficult to repair.
But how could the other two possibly allow Xu Ming to obtain the main Blood Bodhi fruit?
The other two also rushed towards the Blood Bodhi fruit.
The three of them engaged in a great battle around the main Blood Bodhi fruit.
The cultivators under the tree were somewhat dazed as they watched the three's battle.
Most of the cultivators who came to the Rootless Secret Realm were of the same realm, or at most one realm higher.
But the strength displayed by these three completely exceeded their understanding of the Dragon Gate Realm.
They even felt that these three had disrupted the immortal cultivation realm constructed from ancient times!
Was their Dragon Gate Realm even a Dragon Gate Realm?
Why did their Dragon Gate Realm seem even more terrifying than the Nascent Soul Realm!
At this time, taking advantage of the three's fierce battle, some cultivators wanted to fish in troubled waters, hoping to steal the main Blood Bodhi fruit.
But it was clear that these people were thinking too much.
As soon as other cultivators secretly approached, trying to get their hands on it, the three would unanimously attack and kill them.
It could be said that few cultivators in the Rootless Dreamland could withstand the combined attack of these three.
After the souls of those who wanted to steal an advantage were scattered, no one dared to step forward, only able to look at the main Blood Bodhi fruit with envy.
However, they also hoped that these three would fight to the death, and then they could reap the benefits.
"A barbarian from the Northern Wilderness and a bookworm from the Central Plains, you're both somewhat interesting."
The man from the Southern Border Demon Kingdom sneered and took out a formation map from his storage bag.
With a wave of his hand, a formation appeared in the sky above the Blood Bodhi tree.
A blue Qilin actually stepped out of the formation.
"Boom!"
The Qilin spat out a blue flame towards Xu Ming.
Xu Ming unleashed a streak of sword energy, wanting to test the quality of the Qilin.
As a result, the sword energy and blue flame exploded, and Xu Ming fell directly from the hundred-meter-tall tree.
Xu Ming, who fell heavily to the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood. The clothes on his chest had been burned open, and the skin on his chest was charred.
"Scholar Xu, are you alright?"
Finally finding an opportunity, Zeng Rong and the other three moved forward.
Just as Xu Ming was about to stand up, Zeng Rong took out the poisoned dagger and stabbed it directly into Xu Ming's back!
Zeng Rong felt that he was bound to succeed!
Unfortunately, just as the poisoned dagger was only 0.01 centimeters away from Xu Ming's heart, it could no longer move forward an inch.
Zeng Rong looked down.
Xu Ming's hand was holding his wrist.
His chest had already been pierced through.
Zeng Rong never expected that Xu Ming was still on guard even now.
If Xu Ming hadn't been paying attention to him at all times, Xu Ming would never have been able to detect his assassination.
This also meant that Xu Ming had never trusted him!
Since he had never trusted him, why did he spare his life?
Seeing that the matter was exposed, Wang Mingshan and the others all presented their weapons and stabbed towards Xu Ming.
But Xu Ming only delivered a punch, and the strong Martial Artist Qi knocked them all to the ground, their internal organs shattered.
They clutched their chests, lying on the ground and groaning.
Xu Ming glanced at them indifferently, like looking at four stray dogs on the side of the road.
Xu Ming no longer paid attention to them, but focused on the battle for the main Blood Bodhi fruit.
Xu Ming knew that the realm quality of these two people was definitely comparable to his own, not to mention that he needed to face a one-on-two or even a one-on-many situation.
Therefore, Xu Ming no longer had the slightest concealment, pushing his Blood Qi Berserk to the extreme. Furthermore, with the blessing of the Dao Pattern Eye, Xu Ming stepped up the tree and unleashed the Grass Character Sword Technique, a single sword strike.
Scarlet sword energy slashed towards the two.
The two were both shocked, but quickly recovered, pinched their fingers, and slapped out a palm, dispersing Xu Ming's sword energy.
Xu Ming first randomly picked one of the two people, then held his long sword and slashed at the opponent frantically, without the slightest hesitation!
The demon clan man was enduring Xu Ming's sword after sword, feeling as if this man had gone mad!
But every sword of this man was very methodical, all slashing towards the weakest part of his defense.
"These eyes!"
The demon clan man was shocked, staring directly at Xu Ming's eyes with Dao patterns appearing.
"What the hell!"
The demon clan man was cursing incessantly in his heart.
What exactly was going on with this man?
It was already one thing that his sword energy was terrifyingly sharp, but he could even maximize his Blood Qi like a demon clan opening "Blood Rage."
Especially those eyes of his! They seemed to be able to see through the essence of things!
How could this man have so many strange techniques?!
