Chapter 196: Chapter 197: Seizing the Ghost Fruit

Treasure Medicines are divided into four grades: low, medium, high, and top. Top-Grade Treasure Medicines are the most precious, second only to an Ancient Medicine King.

The Ghost Fruit was a top-grade Spirit Medicine. The power it emanated was unique—not ordinary medicinal energy, but a kind of Soul Power.

The Blood-Winged Demon Tiger seemed to care deeply for this Ghost Fruit, carefully protecting it beneath its giant tail. Even while battling the Undying Creature, it hadn’t moved a single step away.

Seeing the Undying Creature regenerate once more, the Blood-Winged Demon Tiger roared. A bloody light flowed across its Scale Armor as crimson Demon Power enveloped its body.

Undying Creatures are a special type of being from the Earth Palace. They are Yin Spirits, formed from the souls of those who fell in the Earth Palace and transformed over millions of years.

These Yin Spirits are incredibly difficult to kill, hence their name: Undying Creatures.

Although the Undying Creature before them was weaker than the Blood-Winged Demon Tiger in terms of Realm, it was withstanding the tiger’s attacks by relying on its immortal nature.

"Your attacks can’t kill me. Hand over the Ghost Fruit," the Undying Creature uttered. Its voice was as if from Hell, so chilling it made one’s skin crawl.

As it spoke, its body fully reformed. It gripped its spear and charged down from the sky. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Hmph. We’ll see about that."

The Blood-Winged Demon Tiger angrily spat out a ray of blood-red light, like a Blood-Colored Killing Sword, shooting up to meet the attack.

"You think you can stop me? I found the Ghost Fruit, so it’s mine now. If you don’t hand it over, I will obliterate you," the Undying Creature said coldly.

The moment its voice fell, its speed increased again. It transformed into a phantom, vanishing in an instant. A spear plunged down from the void, shattering the blood-red light and aiming to pierce the Blood-Winged Demon Tiger’s head.

ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!

The Blood-Winged Demon Tiger roared, its long, blood-colored wings spreading wide. They rapidly closed in from both sides, clamping down on the incredibly sharp spear in mid-air.

CLANG! CLANG! The spear was no illusion but a true weapon of slaughter. As it was caught between the blood-colored wings, it scraped through, creating a shower of brilliant, dazzling sparks.

Terrifying shockwaves of energy spread out in all directions like ripples on water. The void shattered with a series of booms, destroying everything in their path and striking fear into the hearts of any who witnessed it.

Ye Wushuang was several miles away. When the shockwaves from the battle between the Blood-Winged Demon Tiger and the Undying Creature reached him, he activated his Pseudo-Treasure Body to defend himself.

Fortunately, he was far enough away that he wasn’t injured.

Ye Wushuang concealed his presence and watched the situation unfold. Both creatures were terrifyingly powerful, especially the unkillable Undying Creature, which gave him a strange sense of crisis.

"You want my Ghost Fruit? Wishful thinking!"

A wave of Divine Sense emanated from the Blood-Winged Demon Tiger. As its wings pinned the spear, the tiger’s giant, blood-colored tail, like an unparalleled weapon, took the opportunity to shoot forward and pierce the Undying Creature’s body.

A flash of blood-red light instantly penetrated the Undying Creature’s body.

However, just like before, the Undying Creature revived in an instant. At the same time, its body moved around the Blood-Winged Demon Tiger, appearing beneath its wings. It grabbed the tip of the spear and thrust it down at the tiger.

The Blood-Winged Demon Tiger immediately spread its wings and retreated. Otherwise, the spear would have definitely pierced its skull.

But even though the Blood-Winged Demon Tiger dodged quickly, and the blood-colored spear didn’t pierce its head, it still penetrated one of its shoulders. Bright red blood splattered everywhere, making it roar in pain as it violently swept the Undying Creature away with its wings.

Ye Wushuang watched everything, his eyes suddenly lighting up.

Although this Undying Creature couldn’t be killed, Ye Wushuang noticed that its aura weakened and its strength decreased each time it was slain.

’This means that even if the Undying Creature manages to kill the Blood-Winged Demon Tiger, it will be severely wounded and its power will be greatly diminished.’

At this thought, Ye Wushuang’s eyes flickered. He had remained here with a plan in mind: to be the fisherman who profits while the snipe and the clam grapple. The two were evenly matched. As long as they fought to the bitter end, he would have his chance.

BOOM!

At the same time, as the Blood-Winged Demon Tiger was severely injured, the Undying Creature immediately reacted, gripping its spear and giving chase.

SWOOSH!

The spear tore through the air, pinning the Blood-Winged Demon Tiger’s body to the ground.

Then, the Undying Creature looked at the Ghost Fruit with insatiable greed. It moved directly past the Blood-Winged Demon Tiger’s body, its hand shooting out to grab the fruit.

"ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!"

The Blood-Winged Demon Tiger roared madly, a vicious light exploding from its eyes. The Demon Power in its body ran rampant, surging out in a wave of blood-red light that swept toward the Undying Creature.

The Undying Creature sensed the danger and momentarily gave up on seizing the Ghost Fruit, dodging away. At the same time, it swiftly pulled out its spear and flew up into the Firmament, then plummeted down like a streak of light.

As it fell, the Undying Creature’s body became even more diffuse, as if it were about to be annihilated. However, the killing intent from the spear only grew thicker, and its power became even more terrifying.

BOOM!

The earth trembled. The spear drove the Blood-Winged Demon Tiger deep into the ground, dealing it a fatal blow.

"The Ghost Fruit is finally mine! Hahaha!" the Undying Creature laughed triumphantly. It reached out a hand, grabbing for the Ghost Fruit through the void.

At that exact moment, a figure in white flashed like lightning, appearing in the void. In an instant, by the time the Undying Creature’s hand touched the ground, the Ghost Fruit was gone.

At the critical moment, Ye Wushuang had finally made his move.

Taking it by complete surprise, he snatched the Ghost Fruit, grabbed the Blood-Winged Demon Tiger’s corpse, and retreated. Using Floating Light and Shadow, his figure reappeared dozens of miles away.

"Aargh! You damned bastard! How dare you take my Ghost Fruit! You’re courting death! Courting death!"

The Undying Creature roared. It had worked so hard to kill the Blood-Winged Demon Tiger for a chance at the Ghost Fruit, but at the critical moment, the prize was snatched from its grasp. This drove it to the brink of a rampage, its killing intent boiling over.

"Damned bastard! Bastard!"

"How dare you steal my treasure! Even if you flee to the ends of the earth, I will find you and obliterate your soul!"

The Undying Creature roared continuously as its figure flickered, flashing through the void like a phantom in hot pursuit of Ye Wushuang.

Its extreme speed was unimaginable. With each flicker, sharp, deadly rays of light shot toward Ye Wushuang, terrifying beyond compare.

Along the way, all the rocks and Ancient Woods in its path were utterly annihilated, turning into dust!

Seeing this, Ye Wushuang’s eyelids twitched, and his heart pounded with shock. Although the Undying Creature was severely wounded, its remaining power was still this terrifying.

With its roars, its attacks grew even more intense. The Ancient Trees below vanished, and mountains trembled and collapsed. The scene was like the end of the world—exceptionally horrifying!

Ye Wushuang didn’t look back. He quickly stored the Ghost Fruit in his True Dragon Space and simultaneously activated the eighty-one Qi Vortexes inside him. A torrent of violent Dragon Spirit True Essence surged out, flooding his entire body.

Empowered by this immense force, Ye Wushuang’s speed increased severalfold as he dove from the sky into the forest below.
