Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 370: Assassination

Just as Fairy Jiuyin was hesitating internally, the voice of Buried Sword Daoist suddenly came.

"Why hide in the shadows, my friend? Let us join forces to deal with this Fierce Beast before us, and we can divide the Spirit Medicine equally, how about that?"

Upon hearing this.

Fairy Jiuyin’s expression remained unchanged.

Although she tried her best to conceal her presence, she might not be able to hide from a strong person like Buried Sword Daoist.

Being detected by him now was not a surprising matter.

However, Fairy Jiuyin did not fully trust Buried Sword Daoist’s words.

Even though there was more than one eighth-grade Spirit Fruit in front of them, such Supreme Treasures were naturally the more, the better; why would anyone willingly share them with others?

Without hearing a response, Buried Sword Daoist seemed to understand what she was thinking, so he continued: "The maturation phenomenon of the Spirit Fruit is unmistakable, and soon, other powerful ones will arrive.

If it comes to that, it won’t benefit either of us.

Therefore, it would be the best scenario to deal with this Fierce Beast before others arrive and divide the Spirit Fruits between ourselves."

Hearing this.

Fairy Jiuyin’s expression slightly changed.

Indeed.

She did not believe Buried Sword Daoist would willingly share the eighth-grade Spirit Fruits.

But at the same time.

Looking at the current situation, the opponent seemed to have no other options.

The Fierce Beast guarding the Spirit Fruit was too strong; clearly, Buried Sword Daoist was not confident enough to kill it quickly, and dragging on too long could mean ending up with nothing.

Therefore.

Sensing the arrival of other cultivators, a proposal of cooperation by Buried Sword Daoist appeared quite normal.

This thought made Fairy Jiuyin make a decision.

She had been stuck at the early stage of Void Refining for many years, and the eighth-grade Spirit Fruit was the key to her breakthrough.

Without being confident in obtaining the Spirit Fruit alone, she had no choice but to cooperate with Buried Sword Daoist.

"Buried Sword Fellow Daoist, fear not, I come to assist you!"

Fairy Jiuyin proclaimed loudly as she emerged from hiding, holding a Supreme Treasure ancient zither, her lethal music tore through the void to slaughter the Fierce Beast.

Upon seeing her arrival.

Buried Sword Daoist’s eyes lit up immediately, and his attacks became even fiercer.

"I did not expect it to be the Fairy coming; very well, with your assistance, we will surely slay this Fierce Beast!"

While speaking.

Their combined attacks completely trapped the Fierce Beast.

The Fierce Beast that was guarding the Spirit Fruit was inherently weaker than Buried Sword Daoist, but due to a small gap in their strength, Buried Sword Daoist couldn’t slay it.

But now, with Fairy Jiuyin’s participation, the battle transformed entirely.

The combined efforts of the two left the Fierce Beast with no room to fight back, and in just a moment, accompanied by an unwilling roar, it collapsed heavily onto the ground with no signs of life.

"This Fierce Beast was at the peak of mid-stage Void Refining, a step away from breaking through to late-stage Void Refining. Its Demon Pill is also a Supreme Treasure; I will let you have it. As for the remaining three Spirit Fruits, since I found them first, I will take two and leave one for you, how about that?"

Buried Sword Daoist spoke straightforwardly.

Upon hearing this.

Fairy Jiuyin fell silent.

There were only three Spirit Fruits before them, making an equal split impossible, merely one taking less, the other more.

The Demon Pill of mid-stage Void Refining was not as valuable as an eighth-grade Spirit Fruit, but on some level, such a level’s Demon Pill was also quite precious, and she could afford a slight loss.

Moreover.

The longer the delay, the greater the unexpected changes.

Therefore.

Fairy Jiuyin immediately agreed to Buried Sword Daoist’s proposal.

"Alright, let’s do as you say, Fellow Daoist."

"Very well, let’s each pick our Spirit Fruit then!"

Buried Sword Daoist nodded.

Both of them picked their respective Spirit Fruits first, and then Fairy Jiuyin turned back to retrieve the Demon Pill from the Fierce Beast’s body.

At this moment.

A fierce wind assaulted from behind, and Fairy Jiuyin was startled; without thinking, she shredded a talisman, and instantly, her Protective Gang Qi surrounded her, but in the next moment, it was torn apart directly.

"Boom!"

The terrifying force struck heavily upon Fairy Jiuyin, sending her body flying, spewing blood in mid-air.

"Buried Sword Daoist—"

Upon landing, Fairy Jiuyin’s beautiful face was full of shock and anger, but before she could react, she saw a murderous sword light before her eyes, followed by a chill at her neck, and then she fell into eternal darkness.

A headless body collapsed to the ground.

Buried Sword Daoist’s chest heaved slightly, the mystical light of a shattered talisman in his hand dissipating, his eyes colder than ever.

An eighth-grade Spirit Fruit.

How could he share it with others?

For a Loose Cultivator, cultivation was extremely arduous with a lack of resources.

From the very beginning.

Buried Sword Daoist had no intention of sharing the Spirit Fruits with anyone.

If it had been another mid-stage Void Refining expert, Buried Sword Daoist might not have acted, but early-stage Void Refining Fairy Jiuyin was not within his concerns.

As a strong Loose Cultivator.

Buried Sword Daoist had his methods.

The talisman in his hand was a Supreme Treasure imbued with a full-strength strike of mid-stage Void Refining.

This kind of treasure couldn’t slay the Fierce Beast guarding the Spirit Fruit, but unexpectedly killing an early-stage Void Refining Fairy Jiuyin was not a problem.

Looking at her lifeless expression, Buried Sword Daoist felt no emotion as he took the Storage Ring from the corpse and left without looking back.

Just moments after Buried Sword Daoist left, other cultivators arrived.

Upon seeing the dead Fierce Beast and the body in a blue-green dress on the ground, their expressions changed.

"That’s Fairy Jiuyin!"

"She actually died here?"

"It seems she was secretly ambushed by another cultivator..."

Many cultivators felt heavy-hearted, with a vague sense of fear.

The fall of an early-stage Void Refining expert here made them feel like death was lurking in the shadows, ready to claim their lives at any moment.

Looking at the barren Spirit Tree, the Spirit Fruits had long been taken away.

Therefore.

Many cultivators cautiously left.

But some cultivators set their eyes on the bodies of Fairy Jiuyin and the Fierce Beast, starting a fierce battle.

For them.

The body of an early-stage Void Refining cultivator, along with a peak mid-stage Void Refining Fierce Beast’s body, could also be considered a Supreme Treasure, especially for some Demonic Cultivators who had many bizarre Techniques requiring the bodies of strong beings.

In such circumstances, they naturally would not easily give up.

A grand battle.

Sparked directly here.

In no time.

A Demonic Cultivator used his strength to slay all the cultivators present, then collected the bodies of the Fierce Beast and Fairy Jiuyin, and left with a heavily injured body.
