Chapter Ninety-Five: Water Origin Fruit

  Wow!

  Qin Yong stepped into the formation, and except for feeling a slight suppression of his innate sword energy, there were no other unusual phenomena, and he immediately let out a sigh of relief.

  The wonders of the formation, Qin Yong dared not underestimate it from the beginning. A powerful formation master can even use a single formation to kill a martial artist who is far superior to his own cultivation base. Even if there are two major realms apart, there is still a possibility of falling, which is also why the formation master who inferred the array was only in the Qi Wu realm, but the power exerted by the formation was enough to make even a half-step Diwu realm wary.

  Qin Yong was fully prepared from the start, even planning to use the Air Transport Seal in an emergency. With the defensive power of the Fire Wall LV2 seal, even a half-step Martial Realm would take some time to break through. As soon as he entered the formation, Qin Yong also felt something was off, his body slightly heavy, and his innate sword energy was suppressed, reducing his strength by one or two percent. Fortunately, nothing else happened, and Qin Yong finally relaxed.

  Rumble!

  Qin Yong heard a series of rumbling sounds coming from beside his ear, which was not caused by the formation, but rather because Cai Feiyun and Xu Donglin were blocking the Blood Fierce Wild Ox.

  Qin Yong took a glance, the Bloodthirsty Wild Ox was about to break through the obstruction and attack him who had already entered the formation. This Bloodthirsty Wild Ox was an intermediate-level Xuan beast and should have been in a slightly inner region, but because there were Water Yuan Fruits here, just like the Sharp-toothed Wild Boars guarding the Sword Intent Grass, they all left their original domains due to the heavenly material and earthly treasure, occupying territories belonging to other demonic beasts.

  The Bloodthirsty Wild Ox has been guarding it for so long and even tried to probe the formation, naturally not wanting the Water Yuan Fruit to be taken away. Therefore, with all its might, the Bloodthirsty Wild Ox also wants to stop Qin Yong from picking it, while Cai Fei Yun and Xu Donglin are trying their best to stop the Bloodthirsty Wild Ox.

  The cultivation of the four, the strongest Cai Feiyun and Xu Donglin, are only in the third layer of the Xuanwu Realm, but their strength is not weak at all, enough to rival ordinary fourth-layer Xuanwu Realm cultivators. After all, both of them are among the top ten in the outer sect's ranking, and there are over a hundred people in the outer sect who have reached the third layer of the Xuanwu Realm. Being able to occupy the top ten naturally means their strength surpasses that of ordinary third-layer Xuanwu Realm cultivators.

  Mo Lan and Li Yun Cong were slightly inferior in their cultivation, and their strength couldn't be fully utilized, so they could only harass the Blood Bull and disperse its energy. On the other hand, Cai Fei Yun and Xu Dong Lin were the real obstacles, with Cai Fei Yun displaying great strength to resist the Blood Bull's charge.

  The collision of the long sword and the bull's horns produced a clear, metallic sound. Cai Fei Yun was forced back several steps but still managed to prevent the Bloodthirsty Wild Bull from breaking through. Xu Dong Lin fully utilized her own advantages, facing the Bloodthirsty Wild Bull's attacks without hard collisions, instead using her agility and footwork to dodge around it. Xu Dong Lin's counterattacks also made the bull wary, its tail swishing back and forth in an attempt to deal with her, but it was unable to gain any advantage, its movements completely restricted.

  That's why the Bloodthirsty Wild Ox couldn't exert its full strength, even with reinforced horns, it couldn't break through Cai Fei Yun's obstruction. Otherwise, relying solely on Cai Fei Yun would only allow him to exchange blows with the Bloodthirsty Wild Ox, but he wouldn't be able to restrict its movements.

  Qin Yong took a glance and then withdrew his gaze, focusing all his attention on Shuǐ Yuán Guǒ. After entering the formation, Qin Yong was only a dozen or so meters away from Shuǐ Yuán Guǒ. At full speed, he could reach it in an instant and pluck it off. But Qin Yong didn't dare to be rash; this was a formation, after all - who knew what other situations might arise?

  Qin Yong cautiously approached, his speed as slow as a snail. Even though Cai Fei Yun and Xu Donglin were outside the formation, exerting their strength to block the Blood Frenzied Bull, Qin Yong could have quickly plucked the Water Elemental Fruit and relieved some pressure earlier. However, out of caution, Qin Yong continued to approach slowly, pausing for a moment after each step before proceeding.

  At this time, Qin Yong even had the idea of wanting to learn about formations. If he could understand the situation with formations, he wouldn't be as troubled as he was now. Moreover, formations were wondrous and often played a crucial role; if used well, they would become a powerful force in battle.

  However, Qin Yong could only put this idea aside for now and think about it later. What was most important at the moment was to obtain the Water Elemental Fruit. Although he moved slowly, the distance of over a dozen meters didn't take him long to cover, and soon he arrived in front of the Water Elemental Fruit.

  The Bloodthirsty Wild Ox outside discovered this situation and let out an even angrier bellow, causing the earth to tremble slightly. If one looked closely, they could even see the blood vessels in its eyes. The Bloodthirsty Wild Ox was enraged to the extreme, making Cai Fei Yun and Xu Dong Lin's group of four feel a huge pressure. After all, although their numbers were superior, none of them were a match for the Bloodthirsty Wild Ox in terms of strength.

  "Extracting water yuan fruit." Qin Yong looked at the three azure fruits, each only half a fist in size, with mysterious wave patterns all over their bodies.

  At close range, Qin Yong's heart skipped a beat, especially with that faint fragrance, which made Qin Yong feel refreshed and invigorated, as if he was bathing in the sea breeze, watching the waves roll in. No wonder it's a top-grade treasure, Qin Yong thought to himself, but his hands didn't stop moving, quickly plucking a Water Elemental Fruit.

  As soon as he touched the Water Elemental Fruit, Qin Yong felt a cool sensation spreading through his hand, making him feel like he was in an icy cave. Then, a faint stinging sensation came, like sharp ice needles, almost causing Qin Yong to let go, but fortunately, he quickly regained control.

  Qin Yong put it in his bag, and everything returned to normal. At this time, Qin Yong smiled, and the Water Yuan Fruit was just a look and a sniff, but it was so wonderful. If he ate it, he might really gain insight from it and cultivate the Water-attribute True Qi. Even if he was lucky, he might even get a variant of True Qi, such as Ice-attribute True Qi, which was a variation of Water-attribute True Qi.

  He had already picked one, Qin Yong's movements didn't decrease in the slightest, quickly picking off the other two. The branch that originally grew the Water Elemental Fruit withered rapidly, transforming into a dead tree in the blink of an eye, it was unknown how many years would be needed for it to grow another Water Elemental Fruit again.

  Qin Yong's actions not only surprised Cai Fei Yun, Xu Donglin and the others, but also made Xue Meng Wild Bull thoroughly enraged. At this time, Xue Meng Wild Bull let out a furious bellow, and the originally huge pair of horns on its head rapidly grew larger, more than three times their original size, looking extremely incongruous. The tips of those massive horns seemed like spearheads, emitting a faint glow, while Xue Meng Wild Bull also stamped its feet with great force, causing the ground to tremble as if there was an earthquake.

  "Not good, the Bloodthirsty Wild Ox has gone mad!" Cai Fei Yun cried out in alarm, hastily warning.

  The Bloodthirsty Wild Ox gazed at the Water Yuan Fruit being taken away, and finally went completely berserk. At this time, its horns strengthened to a scale that was previously unseen. As it trampled the ground, it was preparing to unleash a powerful attack, one that would disregard everything else. Even when Xu Donglin's sword pierced through, the Bloodthirsty Wild Ox used its thick and rough skin to forcibly resist. All of this was for the sake of waiting for Qin Yong to emerge from the formation, with only one target in mind: Qin Yong!
