Chapter 133 Ch 133: Sky River
"This... How is this possible?" Murad was extremely shocked when his long blade was cut in two halves. He shifted his gaze to look at Alex and again said: "There is no way this is true. I must be hallucinating. The sword in your hand is just an iron sword. It is impossible for your sword to be compared with my long blade. My long blade is a Spirit Rank weapon. This must be an illusion... Yes, an illusion!"
Murad started acting like a crazy young man. Alex didn't waste his time with Murad anymore. He once again slashed at Murad, however this time, there was no longer white light shining on his sword.
"Ahh!"
Murad had completely let his guard down because of his crazed state. After Alex attacked once again, Murad clutched at his chest as he flew backward after being struck by the blow. At the same time, he let out a painful scream. After stumbling to the ground, he struggled to get to his feet, looking at Alex with fear in his eyes.
Alex's face held a hideous grin on it as he made his way slowly to Murad. Seeing that his life was in danger, Murad immediately gritted his teeth and with a bang, his body exploded into a shower of Blood Mist as he flew away.
From afar, his voice could be heard, "You better be prepared. You have to pay for your action in the future. I, Murad, swear that I will not rest until I have burned your bones and scattered your ashes. No one can save you from me!"
Alex, who was unprepared for the spectacle in front of him, could only stare blankly at Murad's disappearing figure. He couldn't believe such a coward would dare threaten him!
Murad had already left so Alex turned around and gave chase after Huang Long and others.
How dare they hide behind him for protection? And then after seeing that Alex didn't have a chance of winning, they actually abandoned him and run away!
Who did they think he is?
When Alex found Huang Long, Huang Long was hiding with his three other companions.
"Come out now!" Alex shouted this out coldly at them but no movement could be detected from inside.
Alex unleashed his aura and then attacked the upper half of a tree, causing it to explode into many pieces. Huang Long and the other three people looked out from their hiding places with embarrassed expressions on their faces.
Huang Long was shocked by Alex's abilities. He subconsciously checked behind Alex and asked him, "What happened to that man?"
"He? He ran away." Alex spoke in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Ah, thank you for saving us, sir!" Huang Long and others came out of their hiding spot in the tree hole and then proceeded to bow to Alex, continuing to thank him obsequiously.
Alex smiled coldly at them. These people are really hypotheticals. Taking a deep breath, without wasting a single second, Alex directly said: "No need to thank me. You dare to use me as a shield to save your life. En En, don't worry, I'll not do anything to you guys, at least not until you tell me the location of Immortal Spirit Tree."
"What? You also want to know the location of Immortal Spirit Tree?"
Huang Long and others were shocked. They were running away from Murad because they didn't want to tell him the location of Immortal Spirit Fruit, but now, they once again fell into the hands of someone who has the same intention. Moreover, although the man in front of them looked ragged and heavily injured on the surface, he was someone who managed to make Murad run away for his life.
They were no fools. They knew Alex must either have some card up his sleeve, enough to scare Murad to the bones or his abilities must be beyond his cultivation base. In any case, they are not Alex's match. If Alex wants, he could kill them anytime.
This was a world followed by the law of the jungle. Moreover, all kinds of miracles could happen in this world. So, Huang Long and others didn't doubt Alex's abilities after knowing that Murad ran away after being scared of Alex.
They looked at each other, and after conversing with their eyes, they finally made their decision. Looking at Alex, Huang Long said, "I'll tell you the location of Immortal Spirit Fruit. Unlike what we know, this Immortal Spirit Tree bore two fruits instead of one. I have only one condition before I tell you the location of Immortal Spirit Tree. You have to swear that you'll fulfill your promise, otherwise, even if you kill us, we'll not tell you!"
Anyway, Alex only needed one Immortal Spirit Fruit. So, he didn't think much and nodded his head in agreement.
.....
At this time, Alex's eyes blurred for a short period of time before everything once again became clear in front of his eyes.
He saw his past life self arriving in front of a long river.
Alex had followed the route given by Huang Long and arrived in front of a large river. This river had a name: Sky River.
According to Huang Long, the Immortal Spirit Tree was located on the opposite side of the Sky River. But there are a few demonic beasts as well as a huge dragon guarding the Immortal Spirit Tree.
Putting aside them, there was a terrifying demonic beast deep inside this river. Huang Long specifically pointed it out when he told Alex the information about the Immortal Spirit Fruit.
Huang Long and others managed to cross the river but failed to get their hands on the Immortal Spirit Fruits because of the demonic beasts and the guardian dragon there.
At this moment, not only was Alex in a dilemma but there was also a group of people in front of the river in his field of vision. Among this group of people, there was a familiar face.
It was the young man who was tested to have Level 7 comprehensive talent.
He didn't find it strange that this person and others managed to find the location of the Immortal Spirit Tree. After all, if Huang Long and his companion could find the location, others could do the same.
Besides this young man, there were also seven or eight Origin Sea Stage martial warriors. There were both men and women among them.
Alex was currently listening to their discussion about how to cross the river from afar. Then he waved his hand and a talisman appeared in his hand.
[Name: Invisibility Talisman
Detail: Could turn a person invisible for three hours!]
This was a treasure he had duplicated from someone five years ago. Now, this token was about to come in handy.
"Tori, you've been here once. I heard that it was Ling Luo who took the lead. How did you cross this Sky River last time?"
The young man who was tested to have Level 8 comprehensive talent was named Ash. Alex glanced at his attributes.
[Name: Ash Ermeta.
Cultivation: Origin Sea Stage Level 9.
Skills: Nine Revolutions Fire Formula, Eternal Flame Awakening, Star Mandate Fist, Star Sucking Palm, Shattering Mirror Blade,...
Special Physique: Flaming Sun Body.
Other Treasures: Star Crystal, Spirit Flame Fruit, Vermilion Flower,...]
"Last time, we had a total of 12 people. In the end, only 9 of us managed to cross this river. Another 6 people were swallowed by that Demonic Beast at the bottom of this river." Tori said with a pale face.
Whenever she thought of that scene, her body would tremble. The aura of that Demonic Beast was too terrifying. It was even more terrifying than Martial King Stage old ancestor of her family!
"Is there no way? Can't we pass this river?" Ash again asked with a frown on his face.
"At that time, we were divided into two teams, one in the south and the other in the north. The Demonic Beast seemed to have merged with the river, and it moved very quickly. If we were to cross the river alone, we wouldn't have been able to buy time for the other person. Only eight or nine people can hold on for about a minute against that demonic beast." Tori once again replied in a trembling voice.
Ash fell into deep thought. At this time, someone suggested, "Why don't we let some other Demonic Beast give it a try first? After the demonic beast at the bottom of the river try to swallow it, we can try to cross the river!"
After saying that, an incomparably huge ape appeared beside him. It was three meters tall, and there was a ball of fire burning on its tail.
It was a Spirit Sea Stage Demonic Beast called Flame Ape!
However, as soon as this Raging Flame Ape appeared, its face revealed a terrified expression. It looked at the Sky River while trembling violently, and in the next moment, it instantly disappeared from where it was standing.
"What? Even Flaming Ape is so scared that it directly returned to the Pet Bag?"
"Is the Demonic Beast in this river really that terrifying?"
