Watching this scene, everyone was stunned. They never expected that it would be the Zhuhong Fruit Tree that launched the attack, and the attack was so fierce.

The two fastest runners were one Marrow Tempering realm cultivator and one Visceral Tempering realm cultivator, but they couldn't put up a decent resistance against the tree's attacks.

“Clang!

A jade token fell and hit the ground, making a crisp sound.

Finally, this sound awakened everyone, and they frantically retreated.

The python was dangerous, but the fruit tree was even more dangerous. What happened to this mystic realm? They had never heard of plants attacking people before.

Bang!”

A branch suddenly swept in front of Chen Fei. He dodged backward, and the branch hit the air, making a dull sound. Just from the sound, one could understand the tremendous force behind it.

Chen Fei's figure slid, and in the blink of an eye, he moved more than ten meters away, completely avoiding the Zhuhong Fruit Tree's attack range. But others were not so lucky.

In just an instant, the few people who were the fastest to charge were all included in the range of the branches' attack. Soon, a Marrow Tempering realm warrior was entangled by a branch.

Amidst the screams, the person turned into a skin, and the branch of the Zhuhong Fruit Tree trembled, turning the skin into countless fragments in an instant.

“MOVE!”

An angry shout came from a Visceral Tempering realm warrior. The blade in his hand turned into a stream of light as it struck the branch, creating a sound of clashing iron and sparks flying.

“Bang!”

This seemed to anger the Zhuhong Fruit Tree. Instantly, more than ten branches attacked, and with a cry of pain, the Visceral Tempering realm warrior disappeared without a trace.

Watching this scene, the warriors who had been slower to run frantically fled, feeling fortunate that their agility was average.

Otherwise, if they had charged too far ahead, they would likely have been reduced to ashes.

Chen Fei now stood dozens of meters away, observing the scene in front of him. It was extraordinary. Chen Fei should have already run away, like the other warriors who wished they had two more legs to run faster than anyone else.

But there were two jade tokens lying on the ground, which immediately caught Chen Fei's attention.

In just a short period of time, two Visceral Tempering realm warriors and five Marrow Tempering realm warriors had died instantly. None of them had the strength to fight back against the Zhuhong Fruit Tree.

The python demon lazily slithered back to the side of the Zhuhong Fruit Tree.

The arrow wounds on its head had already been forced out by the movement of its muscles, and the wounds had healed completely.

Perhaps by the evening, the scales in that area would have completely regenerated.

Chen Fei suppressed his breath and looked at the python, then at the completely calm Zhuhong Fruit Tree. This combination completely subverted everyone's understanding.

The greatest threat here turned out to be a spirit tree that produced fruit. Who could have imagined that?

The chaotic scene from earlier had completely quieted down. The python retracted its head into its body, and except for the broken trees and the heavy grooves on the ground, there was no evidence of the battle that had just taken place.

Chen Fei turned his head and saw that Kuang Dingbo had already fled.

The impact from the python was powerful enough to turn an ordinary warrior into a pulp. But judging from Kuang Dingbo's ability to move, he probably had something that protected him from that attack.

A gentle breeze blew through the dense forest, causing the branches of the Zhuhong Fruit Tree to sway. The fragments of clothes hanging on the branches were the only clues that indicated that something had happened here.

Chen Fei stood still, his mind filled with various thoughts.

At this moment, Chen Fei hadn't run away yet, which indicated that he had ideas about the Zhuhong Fruit and the jade tokens on the ground.

In the trial of the true inheritance, the followers of the Marrow Tempering realm were considered supporting roles, but no one said that supporting roles couldn't become protagonists!

Followers could also compete for jade tokens. As long as they possessed five jade tokens and left, they would have officially passed the true inheritance trial. Guo Lingshan invited Chen Fei to the mystic realm not only because he felt there were more opportunities there but also because he wanted Chen Fei to give it a try.

Chen Fei glanced at the jade tokens on the ground and the Zhuhong Fruit above.

Charging head-on was definitely impossible; the area around the Zhuhong Fruit Tree was a death zone, not to mention the presence of a peak first-stage python.

Such a combination couldn't be dealt with unless around ten Visceral Tempering realm cultivators worked together with all their strength. And if they had a bit of bad luck, they would suffer heavy casualties.

Chen Fei estimated the positions of the jade tokens on the ground and then looked up at the three Zhuhong Fruits on the tree.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Chen Fei felt that those three Zhuhong Fruits had become even more ripe.

He wanted the jade tokens, and he also had ideas about those three Zhuhong Fruits.

“I'll take a gamble!”

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Fei took out two arrows and aimed at the jade tokens on the ground.

The distribution of the jade tokens was not uniform, but that wouldn't faze Chen Fei.

After a brief calculation, the next moment, two arrows flew out, hooking onto the rings on the jade tokens, drawing an arc in the air, and flying past the python.

The python's body trembled in response but quickly calmed down. As for the Zhuhong Fruit Tree, it remained motionless, like an ordinary fruit tree, showing no difference at all because the arrows were not aimed at them.

“Bang!”

The two arrows simultaneously pierced into a large tree trunk. Chen Fei's figure flickered, and he appeared in front of the arrows. Looking at the jade tokens on them, a smile appeared on his face.

As a true seed, he needed to collect five jade tokens. Now, he had instantly obtained two, which nearly completed half of the mission.

“Friend, impressive archery skills. If you share one jade token with me, I'll immediately leave without breaking my word. How about it?”

A voice suddenly came from all directions, and Chen Fei's palm paused slightly before he put away the jade tokens. He looked around but didn't find any figures.

“You and 1, one jade token each. You give me one, and 1'11 leave immediately without breaking my word.” The voice sounded again, coming from all directions.

At the same time, there was no abnormal aura in the surroundings, indicating that the person had a strong ability to conceal their presence.

“If you want a jade token, go find it elsewhere. I don't have enough for myself,” Chen Fei replied, keeping the two jade tokens in his embrace.

He glanced around, then turned and walked away in another direction.

“I only want one jade token. I'm already being polite. If it weren't for thinking that your archery is decent and we could have cooperated. Do you think I would settle for just one? You, a mere Marrow Tempering realm cultivator, don't even have a bit of self-awareness!”

The voice suddenly turned cold, and a killing intent emanated from all directions, pressing down on Chen Fei.

Surrounded, it seemed as if there were countless enemies all around, yet one couldn't find their positions.

Chen Fei's footsteps paused slightly. With his left hand holding the bow and his right hand placing an arrow on the bowstring, he prepared to shoot.

“Hahaha, you think you can attack me? It seems I was too polite to you before, and 1 overestimated you!”

The voice laughed loudly, and the trees around began to sway. It seemed like an attack could come from any direction at any moment, creating a chilling feeling that made one want to submit.

“It was me who was too polite!”

Chen Fei's face remained expressionless. In the next moment, his figure flipped, and an arrow turned into a streak of light, piercing into a tree trunk.

The trunk exploded, filling the air with wood chips. Not only wood chips but also a burst of blood mist. A figure staggered out from it.

“Impossible! How could you find me?”

Qu Jintai looked at Chen Fei incredulously. His Wind Phantom Technique was able to deceive many Visceral Tempering realm cultivators. Even peak Visceral Tempering realm cultivators found it difficult to detect his trace.

But now, Chen Fei had located him on the first arrow he released. If he hadn't moved his body in time, his stomach would have been blown apart by the arrow.

Chen Fei didn't say a word. An arrow appeared in his hand, and in the next moment, the arrow flew toward Qu Jintai.

Qu Jintai roared in anger, feeling resentful. His figure flickered, and multiple illusions appeared, avoiding Chen Fei's arrows. Then, several illusions moved toward several large trees and disappeared.

A gentle breeze blew, causing Chen Fei's hair to sway. Everything returned to calm, but the murderous intent in the air became stronger as if a sword could appear over one's head at any moment.

Chen Fei sensed his surroundings, and after Qu Jintai stopped speaking, it was indeed difficult for Chen Fei to determine his exact location. Even the bloody smell from before disappeared from Qu Jintai's body.

The technique Qu Jintai displayed was indeed amazing, especially in concealing his presence, which was the most remarkable Chen Fei had ever seen.

However, every technique has its limitations. Just like the Starry Night Sword, it excelled in defense and could create a sword shield to protect the entire body. But correspondingly, the Starry Night Sword's offensive power was greatly weakened.

The same applied to techniques like the Soul chasing Steps and Spatial Travel. Each technique had its own strengths and weaknesses.

Of course, there are techniques that are well-rounded, but sometimes, being well-rounded also represents mediocrity. Unless it is a truly divine technique, which is not something that a physical realm cultivator like Chen Fei can come into contact with.

Qu Jintai's technique focused on concealing his presence and intimidating others with words and aura. In terms of actual attack power, Qu Jintai was only a Marrow Tempering realm cultivator. How strong could his attacks be?

Chen Fei glanced around, his figure flickered, and he disappeared from his original position.

The wind howled, rustling the leaves.

In the darkness, Qu Jintai watched as Chen Fei disappeared and breathed a slight sigh of relief. When he saw the two jade tokens flying toward him from a distance earlier, Qu Jintai was confused. He had been wondering about the stroke of luck, but then Chen Fei appeared.

Seeing Chen Fei's Marrow Tempering realm cultivation, greed arose in Qu Jintai's heart. He also wanted the jade tokens.

Whether it was a true seed of the Visceral Tempering realm or a follow Marrow Tempering realm, the most desired goal in this mystic realm was to complete the true inheritance mission, and the jade tokens were the key to that.

Chen Fei was just a Marrow Tempering realm cultivator, but he managed to obtain the jade tokens.. Why couldn't Qu Jintai?
