Chapter 1326: A Small Tree That Can Run

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

Hearing Black Puppy talk, Qingfeng Li was delighted. The Saint Perishing Tree. He couldn't believe that he had heard the name. And to hear about the Saint Perishing Fruit? That was even better news.

The purpose of Qingfeng's journey to the Hell under the Kunlun Mountains was to obtain the Saint Perishing Fruit. After all his hardships, there was finally a light at the end of the tunnel. He had finally heard about the Saint Perishing Fruit's location. He was overjoyed.

"Black Puppy, let's quickly go and find the Saint Perishing Fruit!" Qingfeng Li said enthusiastically.

Black Puppy was also very happy, quickly following Qingfeng Li and the rest 70 kilometers north.

At the sight of them leaving, the surrounding self-cultivators also ran with Qingfeng Li. They felt his powerful presence and knew that they would be safe if they followed him.

Qingfeng Li and his crew sprinted, arriving at the 70-kilometer mark in no time.

A lake greeted them, its water black as night and emitting a bone-chilling dark fog.

The small black tree stood right next to the lake. On top, was a black fruit about the size of an apple that exuded an intense aura.

The surrounding self-cultivators couldn't go near. A faint light circled the surface of the black fruit, reversing the sun and the moon, toppling the heavens and the earth, with mountains and rivers emerging faintly on top. It was needless to say, this kind of black fruit was definitely the legendary Saint Perishing Fruit.

Qingfeng Li's eyes were laced with delight. He had finally found what he was looking for. The only thing standing in his way were all the self-cultivators blocking his path to the fruit.

"Little dog, Sky-Devouring Snake, let's go and grab the Saint |Perishing Fruit," Qingfeng Li instructed. "Kill anyone who stands in our way. They are all our enemies."

Qingfeng Li knew full well that the Saint Perishing Fruit was a fruit coveted by saints. Everyone was after it.

At the sight of all the hungry gazes and twisted expressions within the crowd, it was easy to see that all the self-cultivators were craving for the fruit. No one was going to give up on it easily.

As Qingfeng Li walked forward, a short-haired self-cultivator blocked his path. The man said coldly, "Run along. This is no place for you."

Qingfeng Li sneered and said, "Get out of my way or I will kill you."

Hahahaha!!!!

The short-haired self-cultivator laughed and said arrogantly, "Kid, do you know who I am? I am a disciple of the Sword-Emperor Sect. How dare you threaten me?"

Immediately afterward, the short-haired self-cultivator pulled out a long sword and pointed it at Qingfeng Li. His face was arrogant as could be, completely disregarding Qingfeng Li's existence.

With a flip of his wrist, Qingfeng Li pulled out his Fire Emperor Sword and struck it forward. With sharp flaming sword energy, Qingfeng Li cut the short-haired self-cultivator's long sword in half. The sharp sword energy continued onwards, striking the man's neck and leaving a bloody gash.

The short-haired self-cultivator reached out his palm and covered his neck in an attempt to hide the gash. To no avail, gushes of blood spewed out from his neck. He fell to the ground shortly after, twitching as his body went cold.

The sight of Qingfeng Li killing a Sword-Emperor Sect disciple in one strike shocked everyone in the crowd.

"Who is this man? Isn't he too arrogant? He dared to kill a disciple of the Sword-Emperor Sect?!"

"What are you blind? Don't you see that he's Qingfeng Li?"

"No wonder. It's Qingfeng Li! He really is as fierce as the rumors say he is. He even battled the sect masters of both the Devil-Imperial Sect and the Demonic-Imperial Sect when we were still outside the Kunlun Mountains. A mere disciple of the Sword-Emperor Sect is nothing for him."

The surrounding self-cultivators all chatted about and pointed towards Qingfeng Li, recognizing his name.

Qingfeng Li remained calm. He didn't say a word.

Qingfeng Li had always been a hot topic ever since he entered the world of self-cultivation. He had gotten used to all the attention.

At the sight of his disciple's death, a Third Elder of the Sword-Emperor Sect's eyes grew cold.

The Third Elder was a 60-year-old senior man. Although he was old, his face was still red and supple, making him look like he was only 40 or 50 years old.

He spent his days practicing cultivation techniques and had reached the Spirit Emperor Realm. His body was in tip-top shape.

"Qingfeng Li, you are too arrogant. How dare you kill one of the members of the Sword-Emperor Sect?!" the Third Elder glowered at Qingfeng Li, questioning him angrily.

Qingfeng Li laughed lightly and said, "He told me to leave, and he also cursed at me. He deserved to die."

"Qingfeng Li, I'll give you a chance to kill yourself. Otherwise, I will take action, and you will suffer greatly," the Third Elder threatened, looking down on Qingfeng Li with arrogance filling his voice.

Qingfeng Li sneered at the words. "Is his brain fried? He actually asked for me to kill myself? Is he stupid or what?"

With his eyes on the Third Elder, Qingfeng Li said, "I have a proposal. If you kill yourself in front of me, I will leave your body whole. Otherwise, I will rip your corpse into pieces, not even sparing your bones. Your soul will be lost in the wilderness."

At the sound of their verbal battle, the surrounding self-cultivators were all left speechless. The two men were both as arrogant and as ruthless as could be, cursing at each other as if the other was already a dead man.

"Qingfeng Li, since you're in a hurry to die, I'll grant you your wish and teach you a thing or two about our Sword-Emperor Sect." The Third Elder sneered as he walked towards Qingfeng Li, his eyes murderous.

The Sword-Emperor Sect was the number one force within the orthodox disciplines and was extremely powerful. Every elder from the sect possessed incredible capabilities. On top of this, its sect master and its three elders had all gotten Emperor Class Elixirs ever since they entered Hell and had all broke through to the Spirit Emperor Realm.

The Spirit Emperor Realm was the highest existence within Huaxia's self-cultivation world. They were one of the most powerful groups of people. So, it was natural for the Third Elder to act so arrogantly.

The air grew heavy with every step the Third Elder took. His feet left deep footprints within the earth.

Qingfeng Li stood there calmly. He wasn't planning on running away or backing off.

"Qingfeng Li, are you not afraid of me?" asked the Third Elder.

Qingfeng Li smiled lightly and said, "Why would I be afraid of a dead man?"

"Qingfeng Li, you're even more arrogant than me. I will send you to hell today." The Third Elder had already made his way to Qingfeng Li. He was a mere two meters away.

The Third Elder lashed out with his right hand and, channeling his vital essence, transformed his hand into a gigantic palm that covered the sun and the sky as it smashed towards Qingfeng Li.

Qingfeng Li smiled lightly and unleashed his right fist, turning it into an enormous fist shadow generated from the strength of his Strangle Hell Fist. He smashed his fist into the Third Elder's hand, shattering the latter's vital essence palm.

The Third Elder raised his eyebrows in shock, completely stunned by Qingfeng Li's attack. He didn't expect for the young man to break through his attack so easily.
