Luo Jianqing gathered his fingers to accumulate the blue sword-light (as same as sword energy) to entangle the blood-colored long whip directly.

“Fellow Cultivator Mo! You’ve bad injured and hadn’t recovered yet. Just take it easy, and we will figure out what’s going on about the Blood fruit. Okay?”

However, Mo Qiu didn’t buy his words at all. He shook his wrist lightly and took his long whip back. Sitting on the stone bed with the support of his hand, he smiled coldly while the blood watering from the corner of his mouth slowly, “Stop talking nonsense! Since you have built bond with Blood fruit, I would never get it back unless I kill you!”

As soon as his words finished, the blood whip moved quickly and slapped it to Luo Jianqing again.

It was the first time for Luo Jianqing to face Mo Qiu’s blood-colored whip directly as his opponent. Especially, this time, Mo Qiu used all his power with the addition of black evil power! Flying in the air, his long whip kept winding rapidly as the countless snakes with blood color, which formed a huge scary bloody shadow.

Luo Jianqing dared not to let down his guard and drew his Floating Frost Sword immediately.

Almost at the same time, his Floating Frost Sword crashed with the long blood-colored whip. With a shining sword light flashed, the stone in the cave was broken into pieces. With the shadow of the long whip cast, all the broken stones flew into all directions! After several rounds, Mo Qiu gradually fell into an inferior position, and soon Luo Jianqing attacked with his sword surrounded by the thunder, ending the fight with his sharp cold sword pointed Mo Qiu’s throat in a very close distance.

Mo Qiu wiped the blood on his face silently and then sneered, “Do you believe that I can kill you right now by thousand ways and black will be your fall.”

His tone was so cold and freezing, with the deep scary killing intent.

Staying still, Luo Jianqing looked at him with his sword and said after a while, “Mo Qiu, the blood fruit was in my body when I woke up and I didn’t know why it happened. Maybe it approached me on its own initiative and then…”

“What the hell are you talking about? I’m the only person it would choose between you and me! It is the blood spirit fruit!”

Luo Jianqing asked, “What’s the blood spirit fruit?”

Before when they were in the dune, be it Yan Su of the Duan Hun sect or the Bright Flower Faerie of the Fei Hua Sect or the others from Eight Clans, none of them could recognize the Blood fruit. Even Luo Jianqing, he always thought that the blood fruit was just one kind of Yan Fruit’s variant. Of course, there was nothing recorded in the book, Seeking Immortality about the blood fruit as well. Therefore, the only thing he heard about was the name “Blood fruit”, which was called by Li Xiuchen.

Mo Qiu’s face turned pale quickly. His spiritual energy which just recovered a little was exhausted now after the fighting just now.

Mo Qiu said in a cold tone, “You know that I’m not Dao cultivator”

Keeping silence for a moment, Luo Jianqing said, “Yeah, you’re fiend cultivator.”

“You’re right.” Mo Qiu admitted it without any hesitation, “The blood fruit was the unique product as the result of the fiend cultivating. The way of fiend cultivating was the way of killing. In my whole life, there were only less than 10 fiend cultivators I ever met have no blood on their hands. Even in the whole world, 99 percent of the fiend cultivators made themselves by killing innocent creatures. And the fiend cultivators who only killed their opponent and the guilty person were less than 100 persons.”

Hearing this, Luo Jianqing couldn’t help asking, “What about you, Mo Qiu? Have you ever killed human cultivator? And how many years you’ve been cultivating for since you said you’ve met a lot of devil cultivators.”

Mo Qiu looked up staring at Luo Jianqing coldly. Looking at each other like this for a long while with a Floating Frost Sword between them, then Mo Qiu opened his mouth and said slightly, “No, I haven’t.”

With no known reason, Luo Jianqing heaved a sigh after hearing Mo Qiu’s answer.

And Mo Qiu continued, “It was filled with the blood on the way of being a fiend cultivator, so all the fiend cultivators will get a bottle-neck when they reach the Body Fusion Period and hardly get promoted. In this case, there is a unique method of cultivation for fiend cultivator called Blood Spirit Skill. In the process of the cultivation, fiend cultivator will turn all his spiritual power into the blood and then water one blood spirit tree with it. And the time of growing the tree depends on the cultivation of the owner. The more powerful the cultivator is, the more time and more suffering required accordingly. After the blood spirit fruit is borne, fiend cultivator will eat it and then he can begin to cultivate the Blood Spirit Skill.”

Luo Jianqing asked surprisingly, “So just eat it?” The hidden meaning in his words was that it would be so easy if all he needed to do was only to eat one fruit.

Mo Qiu gave him a mock smile, “You know nothing! When the blood spirit fruit is ripe, it is also the time that the fiend cultivator lost all his spiritual power and blood. And the fiend cultivator must eat the fruit immediately when he still can feel to the spiritual power within the blood spirit fruit. Do you know what result he will get if the fiend cultivator eats the fruit after he lost all his power and blood?”

Luo Jianqing said without thinking, “He will die in a violent manner.”

Without any spiritual power and blood in his body, the fiend cultivator would be reduced to a living death which was just stronger than the ordinary people a bit. Even he survived, he was still in a terribly dangerous situation.

Mo Qiu nodded, “Yes. Of course, the one who ate the blood fruit will meet his new life which hardly happened in 100 persons. There were so many blood spiritual fruit in the world, what we need to do is to find it.” After a pause, a hopeless sad emotion flashed in Mo Qiu’s eyes. He sighed, “It seemed that the fiend cultivator is powerful and no one is his opponent in the earlier stage on the way of the fiend cultivating, but in the late stage, he will suffer endless vicissitudes. You may feel that it’s not so difficult to cultivate the blood spirit skill. But do you know that the Body Fusion Period is the ceiling that the fiend cultivator who cultivates the blood spirit skill could reach.”

Hearing this, Luo Jianqing fell into the silence.

He still held his sword while Mo Qiu lowered his head. It was so quiet at this time. In the end, Mo Qiu couldn’t insist any more and fell. Until now Luo Jianqing finally found that like a spent arrow, Mo Qiu was actually struggling not collapse in front of him.

Entirely debilitated, Mo Qiu lied on the stone bed. A mixture of emotions spreading over his face, he stared at Luo Jianqing, saying, “Luo Jianqing, give my blood spirit fruit …back!”

Luo Jianqing replied after a long silence, “You also told me that you can’t take it back as long as I am still alive. Besides, Fellow Cultivator Mo, the treasure doesn’t belong to any specific one in the world. He who is capable gets it. Although I have no interest in the blood spirit fruit, now… please forgive me that I can’t give it back.”

Closing his eyes slowly, Mo Qiu smiled in sarcasm.

Luo Jianqing still stood in front of the stone bed quietly.

After a while, he heard that Mo Qiu said hoarsely, “Fuck off!”

Hesitating for a moment, Luo Jianqing put three little jade bottles near Mo Qiu and then away he left.

On the stone bed, the corners of his eyes began to wet but the tears in his eyes didn’t fall. When Luo Jianqing arrived at the gate of the cave, Mo Qiu suddenly shouted angrily, “Luo Jianqing! Don’t let me see your face again or I will kill you directly! I will tear you apart and destroy your bones!”

Luo Jianqing halted his steps and then he still walked out.

In the next days, Luo Jianqing found another cave in the valley and continued to cultivate.

In fact, the blood fruit didn’t belong to Mo Qiu as well but he grabbed it from others. There was nothing wrong in what Luo Jianqing said before, the treasure doesn’t belong to any specific one in the world. He who is capable gets it. No matter what, the power decided the states in the cultivating world. Mo Qiu couldn’t judge him even one word even Luo Jianqing grabbed the blood spirit fruit by tricks.

“Did he say that… he could kill me in thousands of ways?” Thinking the way he lied on the stone bed, Luo Jianqing shook his head slowly and sighed, “It seemed that the anger made him lose his mind. Such an idiot.”

Time passed by uneventfully, Luo Jianqing knew nothing about Mo Qiu’s situation now and also didn’t hear any sound from the cave. On this morning, Luo Jianqing walked to the golden burning river for ways to get out and strengthening his power.

When Luo Jianqing drew near to the golden Burning at a distance of 10 zhang, the Burning suddenly became fierce.

The Burning became a giant golden eagle which swooped from the sky and pecked at Luo Jianqing’s eyes straightly. Luo Jianqing raised the Floating Frost Sword and cut it off at one strike! At a distance of 9 zhang, the Burning became a fierce golden tiger that came straight toward Luo Jianqing. Luo Jianqing drew down the thunderclap with his sword and smashed the tiger!

Then he clenched his teeth and came closer to a distance of 3 zhang!

It was then that the Burning turned into a long golden dragon!

The dragon had five claws, its vivid scales sending an archaic and vigorous breath. It rushed out from the Burning River spirally. With head lowering and eyes looking at Luo Jianqing, the dragon suddenly spoke with human language: “Dao Cultivator! You are one of Dao Cultivators!”

With eyes shrinking suddenly, Luo Jianqing raised his sword immediately and drew down the thunderclap!

“Who are you!”

The golden dragon spewed a hot dragon breath which melted the thunderclap.

“A Sword Cultivator, I hate Sword Cultivators among the Dao Cultivators most. Especially the Sword Cultivators of that…that mountain. I forgot the name. They are the most annoying bunch. Since you’ve got here, I’d better kill you lest that I may become annoyed watching you.”

As soon as then, a hot dragon breath rushed to his face directly! It was so hot that the cliffs around the valley tended to melt. The air became so hot that it rolled gradually, with heat waves splashing fitfully and burning numerous common plants quickly.

Without hesitation, Luo Jianqing spoke formulas and his Floating Frost Sword flew in the air.

“One Sword Turns Nine-pedaled Lotus!”

One Nine-pedaled Lotus rushed to the dragon breath straightly. The two collided with a shocking light!

“This flower! This damn flower! You are the disciple of that man! Ah!!!!! I’m gonna kill you!”

More fervent dragon Burning rushed to Luo Jianqing squarely. It has already become golden and its temperature was so hot that it became visible to the naked eye. Without hesitation, Luo Jianqing withdrew 3 zhangs. Suddenly, the golden Burning died out, the temperature dropped gradually and the dragon also disappeared.

Before fading away, the golden Burning roared fierily: “The day is coming soon! You will die soon! You will die soon! I’ll never admit my defeat. I’m gonna kill the disciple of that man. I’m gonna kill the disciple of that man…”

The Burning faded away into the golden Burning River. Luo Jianqing leaned against the Floating Frost Sword, panting heavily.
