Chapter 128 The Sun Fruit Ripened
The two groups of people walked past the Sword Squad one after another, and Eagle and others poked their heads out from among the dead branches and leaves.
Looking at the direction where everyone left, someone asked in confusion:
"People from the Tian and Wang families in the provincial capital, as well as the ancient martial artists from the Xingyi School, why are they coming to Tiger Leaping Gorge?"
"Didn't you hear? They came for the Fiery Sun Fruit."
"I think the young man Commander He asked us to protect is also here for the Fiery Sun Fruit."
"I think so too. He must have been sent by Mr. Wei to get the Fiery Sun Fruit."
"If that's the case, Tiger Leaping Gorge will be very lively."
Everyone speculated that, considering that Lu Ping came here on the Wei family's helicopter, he must have come here to get the Fiery Sun Fruit.
"Let's go, follow!"
At Eagle's command, everyone immediately packed up their equipment and followed behind the crowd like ghosts.
It is like a picture of a mantis stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it.
……
Soon, the red-scaled python and the three groups of people arrived at the edge of the cliff one after another.
The giant red-scaled python lay across the edge of the cliff like a thick wooden sleeper. The three groups of people behind it stopped and watched what was happening.
Tian Feng whispered:
"That one isn't moving. It looks like the Fiery Sun Fruit is nearby."
"Yes! Everyone, be alert. No matter what, we cannot let the Wei family get the Fiery Sun Fruit."
There was a cold light in Wang Tianhong's sinister eyes, and he glanced around with a cold gaze.
After making sure that there was no one else around, he whispered to everyone around him:
"Everyone, rest where you are. Tian Feng and Wang Kai will be on guard in the surrounding area. Report any abnormalities immediately."
"Yes!"
Tian Feng is a member of the Tian family and the nephew of Tian Zhenshan.
Wang Kai is the son of Wang Tianhong and the nephew of Wang Tianfeng.
The Wang family, the Tian family, the Chen family, and the Wei family are the four major jade tycoons in Jingchu Province. They occupy almost all the jade shares in the province.
Over the years, Wei Guangming has occupied almost 70% of the market share in the province by virtue of his position in the military and the power of his three sons, and the remaining 30% is equally divided among the Wang, Tian and Chen families.
In recent years, the second and third sons of the Wei family died one after another, and Wei Guangming's old injuries recurred, and his cultivation level dropped to the seventh-grade master.
Wang Tianfeng also learned from Aunt Cai that Wei Guangming wanted to use the Fiery Sun Fruit to repair his injuries and prepare to make another attempt to reach the Grand Master level.
Therefore, the three of them had already started planning and preparing for today two years ago.
This year, they not only want to seize the entire Jingchu Province's jade business, but also want to destroy the Wei family.
That’s why we have these sinister tricks like shrouds, ashes, and bones.
Now, they appeared at Tiger Leaping Cliff, obviously wanting to stop Wei Guangming from making a breakthrough in his cultivation.
When the six people from Xingyi Sect saw the red-scaled python and the people from the Wang and Tian families resting on the spot, they also followed suit and rested there.
Everyone knows that there will definitely be a fierce battle next, and they must stay in the best condition to have a chance to grab the Fiery Sun Fruit.
The Sword Squad behind them did the same, quickly occupying advantageous terrain and lying in wait.
Nothing happened that night, and in the blink of an eye it was already the next morning.
The sun rises, and the warm sunlight shines on the cliff and on the sun fruit.
Suddenly, the Fiery Sun Fruit began to change rapidly as if it had been injected with a ripening agent.
Whether it was the people from the Xingyi Sect or the people from the Wang and Tian families, they all stared at the giant red-scaled python.
If the other side does not move, they will remain in place.
Lu Ping practiced behind a big rock on the cliff for a whole night, and no one noticed his presence.
His spiritual sense had already covered the entire place, and everyone's every move was locked onto his spiritual sense.
At this moment, the originally golden sun fruit began to change color under the sunlight.
A faint red color appeared on the branches, leaves and fruits, which seemed to be alternating between red and yellow, or like a flame starting from the roots, spreading to the branches, young leaves, and even to the fruit itself.
As its color turns redder, a rich fragrance emanates from its body.
As the breeze blew, the fragrance slowly rose along the cliff and then drifted into the nostrils of everyone present, stimulating everyone's olfactory nerves.
"Where does the fragrance come from? Why does it smell so good?"
"It's the Fiery Sun Fruit. This is the smell of a ripe Fiery Sun Fruit."
After smelling this fragrance, everyone present suddenly felt their minds clear and their bodies warm.
The red-scaled python suddenly opened its eyes, and its eyes, which were as big as basketballs, rolled around.
Then, it moved!
The huge body moved slowly along the cliff, preparing to eat the Fiery Sun Fruit.
However, just as it made a move, Wang Tianhong suddenly stood up, waved the sword in his hand, and shouted:
"Everyone, act now. The Fiery Sun Fruit must not fall into the hands of this beast."
"on!"
All of a sudden, dozens of warriors from the Wang family and the Tian family took action together, waving various weapons and attacking the red-scaled python.
The red-scaled python that was about to eat the Fiery Sun Fruit suddenly stopped, slowly raised its huge tongue from the cliff, and looked over here fiercely.
Facing the Wang family and the Tian family who were rushing towards it, it was not afraid at all.
Suddenly, the huge snake head shot out like an arrow, and with a deafening sound, it suddenly bit towards one of them.
With a crisp sound, all the bones in the man's body were bitten off by the giant python.
At the same time, all kinds of swords, spears, swords and halberds fell on the giant python.
Bang bang bang!
These weapons were like hitting a piece of hard rock, causing sparks to fly.
Not only did it fail to hurt the giant python at all, but it made them sweat profusely.
Wang Tianhong, Tian Feng and others were not giving up. They used all their strength to swing their weapons and chop at the giant python, just like a group of ants tickling an elephant.
After a few seconds, the giant python finally swallowed the man in its mouth into its stomach.
Then, the snake's tail swept across, bringing up a terrifying gust of wind.
Wang Tianhong suddenly felt his hair stand on end and alarm bells rang in his heart.
"No, everyone, retreat quickly!"
However, before he could finish his words, the giant python's tail swept towards them like a hundred-meter-long sword.
Bang bang bang!
Before anyone could touch the giant tail, they were blown hundreds of meters away by its violent force.
Wherever the giant tail passed, big trees fell down and earth and rocks collapsed, just like the explosion of a mountain cannon.
Just one tail caused Wang Tianhong to lose many soldiers and generals, and his team of more than 20 people now has less than 8 people.
"Damn it, this beast actually has the strength of a ninth-grade innate being. We are no match for it at all."
Wang Tianhong cursed in his heart and shouted to the remaining people:
"Someone, blow this beast to death with a grenade."
"Second Master, this is not possible. This is Tiger Leaping Gorge. If we use hot weapons, it will definitely alert the Tiger Leaping Gorge defenders. Then we will be in a more passive position."
"Yes, Second Master, as long as the Wei family doesn't come, why should we fight with a beast? It's not necessarily a bad thing for the Fiery Sun Fruit to be eaten by this beast."
The remaining members of the Wang and Tian families were so frightened that they no longer dared to attack the red-scaled python.
Not only that, he also advised Wang Tianhong not to fight and to leave the place quickly.
Their goal was to prevent Wei Guangming from getting the Fiery Sun Fruit.
As long as the other party can't get it, anyone else can get it.
Of course, it would be better if the red-scaled python got it.
When he thought of this, Wang Tianhong also reacted and understood the interests involved.
He immediately waved his hand and ordered everyone:
"Retreat, everyone, retreat immediately, and do not disturb the red-scaled python from eating the scorching sun fruit."
"Second Master is wise!"
This is what the Wang family and the Tian family were waiting for. As soon as Wang Tianhong's voice fell, they ran in the opposite direction of the Chiling giant python.
