Chapter 1553 - Obtaining the Immortal Fruit

The crowd scoffed at Old Devil Yin’s words.

Moments ago, he had barked out threats, determined to monopolize all three Phoenix Flame Immortal Fruits. However, faced with Fairy Crimson Lightning and her formidable crew, he became uncharacteristically agreeable.

Fairy Crimson Lightning smiled and shook her head.

Old Devil Yin’s expression changed slightly, but he immediately smiled and said, “Since you don’t approve, how about this? You take two Phoenix Flame Immortal Fruits, and I get one? That should do it, right?”

If not for the Crimson Lightning Sect’s overwhelming numbers, there was no way he’d offer up even a single fruit, especially when victory was so tantalizingly close.

“I’ll take all three Phoenix Flame Immortal Fruits!”

Her bold claim made Old Devil Yin’s expression turn pale.

She wanted all the fruits? Her appetite was a little too big!

Old Devil Yin’s face turned icy.

Although the Crimson Lightning Sect had overwhelming numbers, he already had one foot in the grave. How could he give up something that could pull that foot out of the grave? He would fight whoever dared to sever his hope of living until the very end.

“Little girl, I only made concessions for you because you’re the cherished daughter of the Crimson Lightning Sect’s sect leader. I’m not really afraid of you. You want all three Phoenix Flame Immortal Fruits? Aren’t you worried you’ll burst from overindulgence?"

“How dare you!”

“Insolence! Old Devil Yin, who do you think you are? How dare you speak to our Young Miss like this! Are you tired of living?” snapped the two sixth-level elders, their eyes flashing with lethal intent. Their powerful auras pressed onto Old Devil Yin, voices ringing with warning.

Old Devil Yin may count for something in the eyes of others, but he was nothing before their sect.

“Old Devil Yin, I respect you as a senior, and I will forgive you for your show of disrespect, so leave while you can. Only I am qualified to possess a supreme immortal herb like the Phoenix Flame Immortal Fruit. Why waste a heavenly gift on someone with one foot in the grave? Step aside."

Fairy Crimson Lightning completely disregarded Old Devil Yin and spoke with a high and mighty tone, as if sparing him once meant that he should kneel down and thank her for showing mercy.

Old Devil Yin had acted domineeringly before the crowd earlier, but the way Fairy Crimson Lightning was treating him was too disrespectful.

Old Devil Yin’s cheek twitched in anger at her words. A surge of hostility erupted from him, and he stared at Fairy Crimson Lightning with a sinister gaze, saying, “Little girl, when I was creating waves through the world, you were still drinking milk! Do you really think the Crimson Lightning Sect’s name can scare me? As you said, I already have a foot in the grave. Phoenix Flame Immortal Fruit is my last chance. So, get in my way, and don’t blame me for fighting you to the bitter end!"

“Oh? Old Devil Yin, are you threatening me?”

"Take it however you want!" Old Devil Yin snapped.

“Hahahaha!” Fairy Crimson Lightning laughed out loud, her face filled with contempt, “Are you worthy of threatening me? Since you wish to die sooner, I shall grant your wish! You could have lived on for another hundred or two hundred years. Now, your life shall end here.”

Swish!

However, Old Devil Yin moved before Fairy Crimson Lightning finished speaking.

He charged toward the Phoenix Flame Immortal Tree like a bolt of lightning and grabbed at the air, laying down layers of law power nets to seize the three fruits on the immortal tree.

“You’re courting death!”

A cold light erupted from Fairy Crimson Lightning’s eyes. The elder to the right immediately pounced forth like a ferocious tiger, stopping Old Devil Yin from collecting the fruits.

An earth-shattering saber light swept down, causing Old Devil Yin’s expression to change drastically. He hurriedly stopped and turned around to meet this strike.

Boom!

Fierce qi swept around, shattering the earth.

Old Devil Yin was pushed back by the impact, spewing fresh blood. Even at his peak, he couldn’t match a sixth-level Immortal Platform realm elder.

Undeterred, rage stormed through him. He unleashed all his law power and immortal mark, surging to new heights. At that moment, he truly fought as if this were his last stand.

“Damn it, you’re forcing my hand. I’ll fight you to the death!”

“Everlasting Sorrow Finger Art!”

In his all-out state, Old Devil Yin struck without mercy, lunging toward the Crimson Lightning Sect’s elder like he was determined to take the elder down with him.

The elder faltered, realizing what it meant to face a cornered beast.

If Old Devil Yin fell, he had nothing to lose; the elder, on the other hand, wasn't yet ready for self-destruction. Cautiously, he tilted the fight to defense, only to be battered and cut, Old Devil Yin’s fingers gouging flesh from his chest.

“Die, die, die!” Old Devil Yin roared furiously like he had gone crazy. His strikes were ruthless and extremely tricky, and each strike was fatal.

He had gone all out and was quickly affected by the demonic qi in the air, losing all reason.

Old Devil Yin tore a lump of flesh off the chest of the Crimson Lightning Sect elder. The latter sucked in cold air from the pain, and he shouted frantically, “Old lady, come help me!”

Fairy Crimson Lightning nodded. “Go on.”

The old lady immediately lunged forward, joining hands with the elder to gang up on Old Devil Yin, reversing the unfavorable situation at once. They pushed him back repeatedly, covering him in injuries.

Although Old Devil Yin could contend against a sixth-level Immortal Platform realm when he went all out, he wasn’t strong enough to simultaneously face off against two Immortal Platform realm experts.

The crowd murmured in discussion, shaking their heads helplessly.

“

Haaa

, I didn’t expect the Crimson Lightning Sect’s people to join the fray. It seems like there’s no chance for us now.”

"Looks like it’s over," some observers muttered glumly. "Old Devil Yin can’t stand against the Crimson Lightning Sect together. If even he has to go all out, what chance do we have?"

“Although Fairy Crimson Lightning isn’t as strong as Young Master Hai Long, Shark Crown Prince, and the others, after consuming the Phoenix Flame Immortal Fruits, she’ll advance to the sixth-level Immortal Platform realm immediately. She’ll be just a step away from the big names.

Facing Old Devil Yin, perhaps they could force him to spit out a Phoenix Flame Immortal Fruit or two if all of them joined forces, but there was simply no chance for them against the Crimson Lightning Sect.

A cold glint shone in Chen Fan’s eyes in amusement as he sprang into motion.

Keep fighting, I’ll be taking the Phoenix Flame Immortal Fruit!

Did Fairy Crimson Lightning think she could monopolize a treasure like the Phoenix Flame Immortal Fruit with a single word?

Not happening!

So be it if he didn’t come across the fruits; since he had, how could he possibly give them up?

He would take all three Phoenix Flame Immortal Fruits for himself!

A stream of golden light flashed past the crowd, speeding toward the Phoenix Flame Immortal Tree. It swept away the three fruits on the tree, vanishing from sight.

“Who is it? You’re courting death!”

Fairy Crimson Lightning reacted to the situation the fastest. Overwhelming killing intent immediately swept out from her.

While they were fighting desperately on this side, someone actually tried to seize the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, how abominable. It was a complete show of disregard toward their Crimson Lightning Sect!
