Chapter 64

Huang Xiaolong stood beneath the massive iron tree, waved his hands to release a burst of energy, and knocked down an iron fruit. He caught it with his right hand, bit into it, and immediately, a liquid that seemed like a jade nectar flowed into his mouth. Then, warm currents flowed into his body, reaching every meridian.

Huang Xiaolong quickly sat down in a meditative posture, began to circulate the Asura Technique, and continuously refined the medicinal power of the iron fruit.

As he refined the medicinal power of the iron fruit, the Nine Nether Battle Qi in the sixth layer of his meridians began to surge, roll, and rush. At the same time, Huang Xiaolong could clearly feel the faint spiritual energy of the iron fruit continuously nourishing his muscles, tendons, bones, and even his internal organs, making his muscles more solid.

A black and a blue dragon continuously coiled around Huang Xiaolong's back, and the Nine Nether Yin Qi rolled down from the void.

After advancing to the sixth rank, the speed at which Huang Xiaolong's dual dragon martial soul devoured the Nine Nether Yin Qi increased significantly.

A night passed.

Sunlight filtered through the cave ceiling, shining on Huang Xiaolong's body, making him feel warm.

Huang Xiaolong retracted his dual dragon martial soul into his body, stopped the circulation of his cultivation technique, stood up, and swung his fists. A loud boom echoed as two fist prints were left on the cave wall over twenty meters away, each a foot deep.

The cave wall shook, and rocks fell.

Huang Xiaolong's eyes lit up. This iron fruit was indeed a good thing. After a night of cultivation, his muscles had clearly become much stronger, and his explosive power during attacks had increased even more.

If he continued to cultivate like this, in terms of physical strength and explosive power alone, Huang Xiaolong could be twice as strong as other cultivators of the same rank.

Huang Xiaolong retracted his hands and looked around. He saw that the Spirit Devouring Purple Monkey was still sitting on the trunk of the iron tree, refining the medicinal power of the iron fruit. This little guy was strange; he didn't need to sit and refine the demon core, but he did need to sit and refine the medicinal power of the iron fruit and other heavenly treasures.

However, if it weren't for this, it would be too monstrous.

Seeing that the Spirit Devouring Purple Monkey was still refining the medicinal power of the iron fruit, Huang Xiaolong didn't wake it up. He went to a distant open area, summoned the Asura Blade, and began to cultivate the Asura Tear.

Time slowly passed.

Soon, another month had passed.

During this month, Huang Xiaolong spent most of his time cultivating in the underground cave. During the day, he cultivated the Asura Sword Technique and the Asura Ghost Claw, and at night, he swallowed iron fruits and cultivated the Asura Technique and the Yi Jin Jing.

Occasionally, Huang Xiaolong and the Spirit Devouring Purple Monkey would leave the cave to hunt demon beasts together.

During this month, Huang Xiaolong's muscles, tendons, bones, and internal organs were continuously nourished and strengthened by the spiritual energy of the iron fruit. Compared to a month ago, he was more than twice as strong.

Moreover, a few days ago, with the help of the iron fruit's medicinal power, Huang Xiaolong finally broke through to the middle stage of the sixth rank.

Middle stage of the sixth rank!

For someone with a top-tier tenth-level martial soul, it usually took about a year and a half to advance from the early stage of the sixth rank to the middle stage. However, Huang Xiaolong only took three months.

In a month, over a hundred iron fruits on the iron tree were consumed by Huang Xiaolong and the Spirit Devouring Purple Monkey, about half of them.

One day, while Huang Xiaolong was sitting under the iron tree cultivating the Asura Technique, he suddenly heard footsteps outside the cave.

Huang Xiaolong's heart stirred, and he stopped cultivating.

At this moment, voices came from outside.

"Is that iron tree really growing in the bottom of this cave?!"

"It should be correct. According to the treasure guide, it's right here in the bottom of the cave! That unusual fragrance must be the scent of the iron fruit!"

The footsteps grew closer.

From the voices, it seemed there were two people.

Huang Xiaolong stood up, and the Spirit Devouring Purple Monkey jumped down from the tree and onto Huang Xiaolong's shoulder, looking alertly at the entrance to the underground cave.

Soon, two young men, around twenty years old, appeared before Huang Xiaolong and the Spirit Devouring Purple Monkey.

Both were wearing light black clothes, with a divine bird pattern on their chests, clearly indicating they were disciples of the same sect.

When the two men arrived at the bottom of the cave and saw Huang Xiaolong and the Spirit Devouring Purple Monkey, they were taken aback, clearly not expecting to find a child around ten years old and a small monkey.

However, when they saw the massive iron tree behind Huang Xiaolong, their eyes lit up with joy.

"Iron tree!"

"The iron tree is really here in the bottom of the cave!"

One of them laughed loudly, "Haha, Wu Qian, I told you the treasure guide was right! The iron tree is here in the bottom of the cave. With these iron fruits, we can break through to the seventh rank within three months!"

"Right, by the end of the year, we can win the top three in the sect's outer disciples' competition!" Wu Qian, a tall and slender young man, also laughed loudly.

The two men laughed and talked, completely ignoring the ten-year-old child and the small monkey in front of them. In their eyes, all the iron fruits before them were already theirs.

Huang Xiaolong didn't speak, standing there, watching the two men with interest. From their clothing, they seemed to be disciples of a force called the Nine Phoenix Valley in the neighboring country, the Tyrant Dragon Kingdom.

The Nine Phoenix Valley was a powerful force in the Tyrant Dragon Kingdom, one of the major sects.

After a while, the two Nine Phoenix Valley disciples stopped laughing and turned to look at Huang Xiaolong.

"What should we do with this kid?" Wu Qian asked, "How did he find this place? Did he get lost from his family and accidentally find it?"

The other Nine Phoenix Valley disciple, Chen Yun, sneered, "Who cares how he found this place? Anyway, the secret can't be leaked. This iron tree produces over a hundred fruits every year. If we come here to consume the iron fruits and cultivate, we can definitely break through to the eighth rank within ten years!" As he said this, he walked toward Huang Xiaolong.

When he was ten meters away from Huang Xiaolong, Chen Yun drew his long sword and said, "Kid, you were lucky to find this place. It looks like you've consumed quite a few iron fruits. The taste of the iron fruit is good, right? But, it's a pity you met us. From now on, everything here belongs to us!"

"And you, can only die!"

Chen Yun's long sword suddenly thrust toward Huang Xiaolong's throat.

"Don't worry, it's just one strike, it won't be very painful!"

Just as Chen Yun's sword was about to pierce Huang Xiaolong's throat, it suddenly stopped in mid-air. Chen Yun's face froze in disbelief as he saw the tip of the sword clamped between Huang Xiaolong's two fingers.

As his face froze, Huang Xiaolong's figure flashed, and a cold blade flashed by.

Chen Yun's body stood there stiffly, his eyes vacant, and then slowly dimmed, collapsing to the ground.

"You were right, it's just one strike, it won't be very painful," Huang Xiaolong said coldly.

As Chen Yun fell to the ground, blood slowly seeped from his neck, staining the ground red.

"Chen Yun!" Far away, Wu Qian shouted in shock as he saw his fallen companion. At this moment, Huang Xiaolong walked toward him.

"You!" Wu Qian's face changed drastically, filled with fear, and he retreated in panic. He still couldn't believe that Chen Yun had died at the hands of this ten-year-old child.

Chen Yun was at the peak of the late stage of the sixth rank, just like him!
