Chapter 50: Who Is Hu Yue

Chapter 50: Who Is Hu Yue

"Brother Su! Come back! That's something we shouldn't meddle with!"

"Brother Su, are you out of your mind?"

"Brother Su!" Xia Qihai called out several times, wanting to pull Su Zhan back. However, he was afraid of alerting the terrifying giant ape nearby and endangering his own life. He could only anxiously watch Su Zhan move forward.

Although Su Zhan and Xia Qihai were not familiar with each other, they were considered quasi-allies in the Dark Star Forest. Moreover, the royal family of Xia Kingdom and the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect had a friendly relationship. Naturally, Xia Qihai did not want to see Su Zhan meet his demise.

But there was no way to stop him

Xia Qihai sighed.

Su Zhan's actions also caught the attention of the nearby geniuses who were drawn by the divine light.

"Who is this person, and what is he trying to do?"

"It seems like he is a genius from the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect of Xia Kingdom, called Su Zhan!"

"Su Zhan? Isn't Qi Yang the only genius in the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect? Are the others there also worthy of the title genius'?"

"I think this person is not only not a genius but rather a fool! He's actually walking straight toward the Star God Fruit tree. Is he blind? Can't he see that terrifying giant ape feasting on the flesh of monstrous beasts not far away?"

"Let's not bother with him. He's going to be eaten by that giant ape. Let him go! We should think of a way to deal with that ape!"

Voices echoed in the nearby jungle.

Those peerless geniuses from different nations looked on coldly, waiting for Su Zhan to be slaughtered and devoured by the giant ape.

At this moment, Su Zhan had approached, looking at the massive ape-like creature feasting on the flesh of another monster with its back turned to him.

As his gaze swept over the sword scars and bloodstained mouth, Su Zhan suddenly felt that this giant ape seemed somewhat familiar.

The giant ape also sensed the presence of a human martial artist approaching from behind, setting down the blood-drenched monster flesh and releasing a violent aura. It clenched its fist and abruptly turned around!

"Another ant seeking death! Witness my"

Before the spiritual message could be fully conveyed, the giant ape, upon seeing Su Zhan's face clearly, froze for a moment.

Immediately, its pupils contracted, and its face filled with an extreme human-like fear. Its massive body trembled slightly!

"What a coincidence!" Looking at this familiar giant ape, Su Zhan was also taken aback, his expression becoming somewhat strange.

He didn't expect it!

This giant ape turned out to be the one that had accompanied him in his sword practice. Now things were even better, and he could enjoy practicing swordsmanship again.

As soon as this thought arose in his mind, he saw the giant ape's massive body suddenly turn around and start fleeing!

"Devil! The devil is here!"

"So terrifying! A terrifying devil!"

"I don't want the spiritual fruit anymore, it's all yours, all yours! Don't come after me anymore!!!" As the giant ape ran, it transmitted messages of fear.

What devil? I just wanted to practice swordsmanship with you, is there something wrong with that?

Su Zhan felt somewhat displeased, but at this moment, he couldn't abandon the fully matured Star God Fruit to chase after the giant ape. He could only watch as the ape ran into the dense forest, breaking dozens of giant trees before disappearing from sight.

At this point, the geniuses from various countries in the vicinity were completely dumbfounded.

Each of them wore a confused expression, unable to believe what they had witnessed.

"What's going on? That giant ape didn't devour Su Zhan and instead ran away on its own?"

"The Star God Fruit is a rare treasure even for monsters. Yet, that giant ape abandoned it?"

"Earlier, the spiritual messages it emitted seemed to show extreme fear towards Su Zhan. Could it be that this Su Zhan is actually extremely powerful?"

"That's impossible! Before entering the Dark Star Forest, my master was informed me that the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect had actually sent an early-stage Martial Master to participate. Even if he's strong, he would only have the combat power of mid-stage Martial Master, right?"

"Could it be because Su Zhan is carrying some treasure that restrains the giant ape? Or perhaps Su Zhan resembles a human powerhouse that the giant ape has encountered before, and the ape mistook him, so it fled in panic?"

"It's all possible!"

Those geniuses were all puzzled and perplexed. Although they didn't consider Su Zhan to be strong, none of them was willing to be the first to snatch the Star God Fruit. After all, Su Zhan's strength was lacking, and even if they waited for him to pick the fruit and then snatched it from him, it would be very simple. It would be better to think about how to surpass the other strong individuals later.

As for Su Zhan, he wasn't worth worrying about!

Those geniuses began calculating in their minds.

Xia Qihai was dumbfounded.

Looking at Su Zhan beside the Star God Fruit tree, he felt like he was dreaming. He just walked over like that, and the terrifying giant ape ran away? Shouldn't it be angry and attack Su Zhan? Even if Su Zhan is strong, shouldn't there be a fierce battle?

What's with taking one look and then running away???

Perplexed and puzzled, Xia Qihai looked at Su Zhan with some envy and whispered, "Su Zhan, you're really lucky! When the divine light converges, it will be the time when the Star God Fruit is fully ripe. At that time, seize the Star God Fruit and run without wasting half a second! Many strong individuals are watching closely!"

"I know, thanks for the reminder."

Su Zhan nodded slightly and felt a slight fondness for Xia Qihai in his heart. Although this person's strength was mediocre, at least he wasn't as treacherous as Qi Yang.

After a while, the divine light suddenly became fainter. Su Zhan's gaze focused, knowing that the Star God Fruit was about to ripen!

That divine light was actually just the gathering of celestial power from the stars. Once the celestial power was gathered, the divine light would fade, and the Star God Fruit would reach full maturity.

Three minutes later.

The divine light had become very faint. Then, starting from the sky, the divine light converged, and a layer of solidified starlight appeared on the surface of the Star God Fruit.

The Star God Fruit had ripened!

Everyone's eyes burned with desire!

"I'll take this item. The rest of you can leave!" A young man dressed in a golden robe rushed out, his voice echoing for miles around.

When they saw this young man, the geniuses who had gathered in groups of two or three or hidden alone around the area all had their faces change.

"It's Hu Yue! It's said that his strength has surpassed the average Origin Elixir realm!"

"Hu Yue is here too! He's the strong individual who managed to escape unscathed from a mid-level Origin Elixir expert!"

"We're done for. Our hopes for this trip are slim!"

"For a treasure like the Star God Fruit, we have to fight for it!"

One genius after another gritted their teeth and rushed towards the Star God Fruit tree!

At this moment, Su Zhan had already plucked the Star God Fruit and stored it in his storage space. He glanced at those geniuses whose faces were filled with madness.

These people represent various countries and powers. If he were to kill them all, he wouldn't mind, but it would likely cause a lot of trouble for the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect.

However, it's best to capture the ringleader first and strike fear into the others. If he could defeat Hu Yue, who Xia Qihai mentioned as extremely strong, he should be able to intimidate these people.

With that in mind, Su Zhan infused his true qi into the Extreme Sun Sword and launched the Firestar Sword Technique.

"Just a mere early-stage Martial Master, seeking death!" Hu Yue grinned maliciously and also struck out with his sword towards Su Zhan.

Strands of green sword qi intertwined, forming a wave of sword qi that soared tens of meters high, imposingly crashing down towards Su Zhan.

In comparison, Su Zhan's Firestar Sword Technique appeared simply insignificant.

But in the instant their attacks collided, the wave of sword qi instantly shattered!

Amidst Hu Yue's shocked and unbelieving gaze, the Firestar Sword Qi broke through the crashing waves.

A red line appeared on Hu Yue's neck, and his head rolled off his body and onto the ground!

"To be so weak and still dare to charge first?"

With a somewhat surprised look at the headless corpse of the young man in the golden robe, Su Zhan then swept his gaze towards the geniuses from various countries who were shocked and had stopped in their tracks due to his strike. He coldly said: "Who is this Hu Yue? Show yourself and die!"
