A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 950 - 936: Mountain King

Ivan hesitated for a moment; although the Life Fruit was valuable, he didn't feel too bad about offering it.

But right now.

A special situation had arisen.

The Life Fruit was meant for saving one's life. As members of large families, they needed to carry more life-saving items when traveling outside.

If he handed it over.

He would lose one of his life-saving methods.

"What's wrong, Brother Ivan? Is it that you're unwilling, or are you worried that I'll deal with you on this airship?"

Changzhi Shuyuan said with a smile.

Although his smile was gentle, it sounded extremely harsh.

Ivan's face turned a bit cold, but unless Changzhi Shuyuan wished to provoke a battle between two great families, he wouldn't dare to harm him on this airship. Not only wouldn't he dare, but he would also take care to protect Ivan to prevent misunderstandings.

Even if Changzhi Shuyuan had lost his mind and wanted to attack him.

The experts by his side were not fewer than those with Shuyuan; if conflict arose between the two sides, Ivan would not fear.

If a battle broke out on the airship.

It would be a situation of mutual destruction.

Thinking of this, Ivan gritted his teeth and took a sealed glass jar from a nearby attendant: "The Life Fruit is inside, take it, this time I admit defeat."

After speaking.

He slammed the jar onto the table furiously, intending to leave this heart-wrenching place with his men.

Yet, after walking only a few steps.

Changzhi Shuyuan blocked him: "Brother Ivan, it feels like one Life Fruit isn't enough to cover our gamble debt, don't you think?"

Ivan furrowed his brows, finally realizing that Changzhi Shuyuan's intentions were not tied to the drink.

"Changzhi Shuyuan, what do you want to do?"

"Ha ha, what can I do, just collect the debt you owe, that's all. Ivan, you came aboard my airship, surely you didn't just bring this bit of stuff with you?"

"One Life Fruit is more than enough to cover the debt from our previous gamble. If you really want to cause trouble, do you think I will be afraid?"

Ivan shouted angrily.

A surge of Blood Qi erupted from his body, forcing Changzhi Shuyuan back two steps.

Changzhi Shuyuan's face was somewhat pale. He was slightly weaker than Ivan.

However.

After Ivan's move, two Martial Arts Grandmasters beside Changzhi Shuyuan shot out like lightning, swiftly attacking Shuyuan's vital parts from both sides.

Violent Blood Qi boiled in the air.

The previously luxurious casino now filled with the formidable presence of Grandmasters.

"Young Master, be careful."

A middle-aged man with bushy eyebrows and large eyes, who had been closely following Ivan, suddenly sprang out, a black-purple light film enveloping his entire body, blocking Ivan from harm.

Clang!

The palms of the two Grandmasters collided with the man's black-purple light film, producing an ear-piercing metallic sound.

The two Grandmasters stepped back with eyes full of shock.

"Mountain King An Shuo, I didn't expect you'd been with the Lawrence family all these years. No wonder no one found you; who would suspect someone from the Lawrence family?"

One of the Grandmasters said in a deep voice.

Mountain King.

This was An Shuo's nickname.

He had already made a name for himself decades ago, killing many enemies in the Free Federation and slaying numerous demons and aliens, yet disappeared suddenly without a trace.

There hadn't been any information whatsoever.

His relatives and foes had searched the world all these years without finding a hint of his whereabouts.

Unexpectedly.

This person, who had vanished for decades, appeared by Ivan's side.

The opponent was once an esteemed expert; after so many years of cultivation, he must be at least a Tier Two Martial Artist by now!

This was the strength of an Elite Level Grandmaster.

"I didn't think you'd have such a powerful follower; it seems I've underestimated you."

Changzhi Shuyuan's eyes showed surprise, though it was still within expectations.

A Tier Two Martial Artist couldn't stir up storms.

Even if there were Tier One Martial Artists today, he would take Ivan's life, having plotted for a long time.

"High Priest, if not now, when?"

Changzhi Shuyuan shouted coldly.

Suddenly, several Grandmaster Level fighters quickly approached Changzhi Shuyuan, surrounding him tightly like stars surrounding the moon.

Ivan and the few Grandmasters around hadn't understood what was happening yet.

But.

Judging by the situation, that High Priest seemed to be Changzhi Shuyuan's ultimate weapon?

As they were wondering, the walls suddenly began to wriggle. It wasn't an illusion, nor a trick, but genuinely started moving like water waves, twisting and casting ripples.

"Young Master, something's wrong here. Changzhi Shuyuan undoubtedly has prepared many tricks to kill us; it's better if we leave first," Mountain King An Shuo said in a deep voice.

Ivan still couldn't believe Changzhi Shuyuan dared to take action.

This would inevitably start a war between the two families.

How could he dare?

Yet faced with reality, Ivan had no choice but to believe.

"Go, quickly go, let's return and inform the Federation; I want him dead!" Ivan looked at Changzhi Shuyuan from afar.

After he issued the command.

Several Grandmasters quickly launched attacks, trying to pierce the airship and escape with Ivan.

However.

Their attacks on the twisted, eerie walls had no effect, as if falling into another space, causing no ripple at all.

This left Ivan a bit panicked.

Even Grandmasters couldn't escape; what was on this ship?

"Give up; you can't break through the Emerald Green Barrier I set up with your reckless martial artists," then, from the undulating water waves in the walls, a gray-haired elder stepped out.

The elder coldly stared at Ivan and his men, eyes amused like a hunter eyeing prey.

"Lord Cha, kill these people; as I promised the Golden Fruit, after your move, I'll deliver it to you immediately."

Changzhi Shuyuan said respectfully.

The elder nodded, pulling a scalpel from wide sleeves: "Remember what you said; I dislike issues with agreed transactions."

Then.

The scalpel started slicing through the void.

The people in front instantly bore blood-dripping wounds, as if their bodies were cut open by the scalpel. Strangely, trees and vines grew continuously from the wounds, creating a terrifying sight.

Such a bizarre scene could drive one to madness.

"Heh, martial artists are just so fragile," disdain flashed in the elder's eyes as he sped up his scalpel, slaughtering the Grandmasters quickly.

Only Mountain King An Shuo remained standing before Ivan.

With his highest strength, he lasted the longest.
