Chapter 67

Long Bo was facing off against a Level 5 Green-Scaled Python guarding the Blood Flame Fruit Tree. He also saw Qin Wentian and the others on the hillside and couldn't help but shout, "Brothers of Dixin Academy, give a hand, this Green-Scaled Python is really tough."

Qin Wentian had caused quite a stir at Dixin Academy, and many people knew him. He had witnessed the challenge between Qin Wentian and Murong Feng, and he knew that Qin Wentian's combat strength was very formidable.

"Should we join in?" Zhao Yi was eager to try. The battle situation on the other side was clear. Although the Dixin Academy students were at a disadvantage, they wouldn't be defeated in a short time. Long Bo, facing a Level 5 Green-Scaled Python alone, had very little chance of winning. Although the Green-Scaled Python was injured, Long Bo was also covered in wounds.

If the battle continued, the entire situation would eventually collapse. Only Long Bo could temporarily hold off the Green-Scaled Python guarding the fruit tree.

"The key is that Green-Scaled Python. If we can deal with it, we'll free Long Bo, and then dealing with the other Green-Scaled Pythons won't be much of a problem," Fan Le said in a low voice.

Qin Wentian's eyes flickered. If they helped Long Bo deal with the Green-Scaled Python, they might not get a share of the rewards when it came time to divide them. Human nature is unpredictable, especially when it comes to something as precious as the Blood Flame Fruit. Qin Wentian had long understood this.

"Brat, come here," Qin Wentian said in a low voice. Instantly, a shadow darted into his body, and then Qin Wentian whispered a few words in his ear. The brat then jumped off and left.

"Zhao Yi," Qin Wentian looked at Zhao Yi.

"What's up?" Zhao Yi asked.

"You should stay away from here for now. Staying here might be dangerous," Qin Wentian said to him. Zhao Yi's expression stiffened, looking somewhat unhappy. With the Blood Flame Fruit right in front of him, Qin Wentian asking him to leave was hard to accept.

"If we turn against Long Bo and the others, we won't be able to protect you," Qin Wentian explained. However, Zhao Yi's expression remained stiff and unappealing. Without a word, he turned and left, clearly unhappy.

Seeing this, Qin Wentian shook his head. Not everyone was as carefree as Fan Le. He and Zhao Yi had spent many days together, thinking they had developed a friendship, but now it seemed he had overestimated their bond.

Zhao Yi's strength was weak. Whether facing the Green-Scaled Pythons or Long Bo and the others, he had no power to resist. Staying here, they would find it hard to protect him. For safety, Qin Wentian asked him to leave temporarily, but Zhao Yi's expression changed instantly, and Qin Wentian didn't bother to explain further.

"They're almost at their limit," Fan Le said in a low voice. Qin Wentian's thoughts returned, and he saw that Long Bo was already in a suppressed state against the Green-Scaled Python. These Dixin Academy students were in mortal danger.

"Friends, if we die, you won't be able to resist these Green-Scaled Pythons. If we join forces, we still have a chance. We can share the spoils later," Long Bo shouted to Qin Wentian and Fan Le. In this critical situation, Qin Wentian's involvement would make a significant difference.

Qin Wentian understood Long Bo's words. If they were to die, he and Fan Le wouldn't be able to take the Blood Flame Fruit.

"Fatso, keep some cards up your sleeve," Qin Wentian's body suddenly rushed out, heading straight for Long Bo. As he rushed out, Fan Le released his Bow Star Soul, and brilliant arrows shot out in all directions, controlling the battlefield from a distance.

A truly skilled archer could kill from a thousand miles away without leaving a trace.

Fan Le's arrows weren't powerful enough to kill the Green-Scaled Pythons, but they were aimed at their eyes, controlling several battlefields and preventing a quick defeat.

Qin Wentian's body had already reached the Level 5 Green-Scaled Python. This Green-Scaled Python's strength was comparable to a Fifth Stage Wheel Pulse martial practitioner, and its enraged state made it extremely formidable.

Seeing Qin Wentian charge, the Green-Scaled Python spat out a cloud of poison. Qin Wentian held his breath, and then saw its massive tail sweep towards him.

"Thud." Qin Wentian stepped on the ground, and his body became ethereal and dreamlike. The massive tail swept past him, and he twisted his body, continuing to charge towards the python.

"Boom." A Vajra Seal struck the Green-Scaled Python's abdomen, making it roar in anger. Its head lowered, and its mouth opened wide, trying to swallow Qin Wentian.

Three brilliant arrows shot through the air, aiming for the Green-Scaled Python's eyes. At the same time, Long Bo's Axe Star Soul glowed brilliantly, and a divine axe appeared in his hand. He leaped up and struck the python's vital point with lightning speed.

Seeing the python's mouth open towards him, Qin Wentian's feet trembled, and his body became as light as a swallow. The Kunpeng Seal on his back seemed to float, and he turned into a shadow, retreating under the python's belly. The python's mouth snapped down, but missed.

In that moment, Qin Wentian felt his movements were perfectly executed, giving him a strong sense of control. This was the subtle level.

"Kill!" Qin Wentian roared, and the Wheel Sea Seal released terrifying power, striking the python's head. At the same time, Fan Le's arrows pierced its eyes.

Long Bo jumped onto the python's back, roared, and swung his axe, which glowed with a brilliant green light, cutting into the python's vital point.

The python's massive body trembled violently, struggling wildly, but soon fell to the ground, dead.

"Phew..." Long Bo took a deep breath and smiled at Qin Wentian. "Thanks. Let's take care of the other Green-Scaled Pythons first."

Qin Wentian nodded. With the strongest Level 5 Green-Scaled Python dead, the others were no longer a major threat. Qin Wentian, Long Bo, and Fan Le joined the battle, quickly clearing the rest.

"Ha ha." Long Bo laughed and looked at Qin Wentian. "As expected of the top freshman at Dixin Academy, Qin Wentian. Thanks to you, we avoided some trouble."

"Trouble?" Seeing Long Bo's cheerful smile, Qin Wentian raised an eyebrow, a hint of sharpness in his eyes. However, he still smiled. He was no longer the naive young man he once was.

"Qin Wentian, the demon cores of these beasts are very valuable. I'll give them all to you," Long Bo said generously. However, this generosity sounded somewhat grating to Qin Wentian and Fan Le.

Give them to him?

Without him and Fan Le, Long Bo and the others might have been in mortal danger, let alone killing the Green-Scaled Pythons.

Qin Wentian didn't claim all the credit, as it was a joint effort, but Long Bo's words were somewhat grating.

"I'm not particularly interested in the demon cores. You can have them," Qin Wentian smiled and replied, making Long Bo's eyes narrow slightly, a cold light flashing in them.

"You helped us a bit. It would be too polite to take nothing. How about I give you a Blood Flame Fruit?" Long Bo smiled and then walked towards the Blood Flame Fruit Tree. His followers followed, ignoring Qin Wentian.

"Seven people, one at the Fourth Stage Wheel Pulse, six at the Third Stage. It seems a bit troublesome," Qin Wentian watched them pass, slowly turned around, and said, "Wait."

Long Bo and the others turned to look at Qin Wentian. "What's up?"

"Just now, we saved your lives. The Blood Flame Fruit should be divided among us," Qin Wentian said calmly.

"Is that so?" A cold light flashed in Long Bo's eyes. He looked around and then back at Qin Wentian, a cold smile on his face. "In that case, we should thank you for your 'life-saving grace.'"

As he spoke, the group subtly surrounded Qin Wentian. Although Qin Wentian was valued at Dixin Academy, they were in the Dark Forest, where the eyes of Dixin Academy couldn't see so far.

"If there are two corpses here, they'll probably be carried away by beasts, and no one will know how they died," Long Bo's killing intent was no longer hidden. They had lost several comrades for the Blood Flame Fruit, and now, with seven people, the division was already tight.

Long Bo thought giving Qin Wentian a Blood Flame Fruit was already generous, but some people seemed to prefer punishment over gratitude.

In that case, fewer people to divide among would be better.

"Indeed," Qin Wentian's voice fell, and his foot suddenly stepped out, transforming into a shadow, moving extremely fast.

During the battle with the Green-Scaled Python, his Nine Heavens Kunpeng Technique had reached the second level of the Wheel Pulse Scroll, the subtle level.

"Thud!" A crisp sound echoed. Qin Wentian's body brushed past a Third Stage Wheel Pulse practitioner, and the others were momentarily stunned.

The two bodies touched and separated. When Qin Wentian returned to his original position, they saw a palm print on the chest of the person he had approached, which had destroyed his heart.

"Training is hard, and there are many Blood Flame Fruits. Why can't we divide them peacefully?" Qin Wentian's Star Soul released, and his eyes glowed with killing intent.
