Eternal Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 386 - 376 Huo Jiang

Behind the large stone Chu Hao had indicated, an elder immediately leaped out, of medium build, with hair half white and half black, exuding a terrifying aura.

"Little girl, I’ve told you many times, these are the Green Silver Fruits planted by Lord Kong Ming for Huo Jiang to enhance his cultivation," said the elder somewhat helplessly.

Although he was a War King, the girl was the most favored disciple of the four War Emperors, and he did not dare to scold her.

"So stingy, there are so many fruits, wouldn’t it be alright to give me ten pieces?" the girl demanded brazenly.

Ten pieces, you really dare to say it.

This Green Silver Tree, though not a divine tree, was an extremely precious treasure tree. Its Green Silver Fruits could gradually enhance a martial artist’s cultivation, ignoring the so-called realm barriers.

For instance, a Martial Sect needed to exhaust much effort to comprehend the Heavenly Spring to open their own Life Spring, but by continuously consuming Green Silver Fruits, the Life Spring would slowly open.

Of course, the cultivation forcibly elevated by Spiritual Medicine couldn’t possibly reach Nine Meridians, Ten Meridians, Nine Springs, or Ten Springs, and the upper limit was solely to the level of a War King, not breaking through to the Upper Three Realms.

But that was already enough. The upper limit was War King; in the Middle Nine Counties, that made one a top figure. What more could one ask for, especially since even fools could be elevated thusly?

Moreover, the Green Silver Tree was rare in the world, and the time from blossom to fruit maturity was exceedingly long. Originally, War Emperor Kongming had spent a great deal of effort to find a fruit-bearing Green Silver Tree and transplanted it to the Spirit Spring Sect. Every three months, he fed one fruit to many generations of his descendent Huo Jiang. Combined with his supreme cultivation, Huo Jiang, a man of average talent who seldom practiced diligently, was forcibly elevated to the level of a Warrior.

Otherwise, would there need to be a War King guarding here all day?

"No way!" he shook his head, "Little girl, don’t get your hopes up. Even if all four of your masters intervened, Lord Kong Ming wouldn’t give you one."

As the years passed, War Emperor Kongming increasingly valued his only male descendant, almost doting on Huo Jiang to the point of disregard for everything else.

In past years, War Emperor Kongming would occasionally appear to guide the cultivation of the internal War Kings, War Venerates, and War Emperors in the sect. But in recent years, he either practiced diligently by himself or ran errands to enhance Huo Jiang’s cultivation, blatantly ignoring the sect rules and acting unilaterally to use a large amount of Spiritual Medicine on Huo Jiang, a mediocre person.

Yet he was the only War Emperor in the sect, the banner, the pillar of the Spirit Spring Sect, and besides, his strength was the strongest. Not even the four War Emperors could match his one hand. Who dared, and who could stop him?

In the Spirit Spring Sect, the current little witch was naturally the Barbaric Girl, but when it came to the grand ancestor, that was definitely Huo Jiang.

The girl’s eyes darted around; she was thinking of a way to trick this old man into leaving.

Just then, footsteps were heard, and a young man approached. He looked quite handsome and exuded the aura of a Warrior, but his casual demeanor gave off an extremely unreliable impression.

"Jia Boshan, what’s going on here, why are there outsiders here?" the young man immediately started berating, apparently completely disregarding a War King.

—Though Yun Cai was also quite impulsive, her behavior was more mischievous, unlike this young man, who clearly carried a condescending arrogance.

In the Spirit Spring Sect, probably only one person could be so domineering.

Huo Jiang, the direct descendant of War Emperor Kongming, and his only male offspring.

The War King in question was Jia Boshan, and a flash of anger crossed his face. The Martial Arts World took the respect of seniors very seriously, and the higher the realm, the more strict this respect hierarchy could not be broken.

He, being a War King, had not only been addressed by name by a mere Warrior, but also in a condescending manner of reprimand. How could he not rage?

If it were someone else, even Yun Cai, he might lightly punish her, and the four War Emperors of Tianshuang wouldn’t hold him to account, because their own disciple was unreasonable first. But Huo Jiang was different; War Emperor Kongming’s doting on him had reached the point of irrationality, even obsession.

If he dared to discipline Huo Jiang, War Emperor Kongming would surely retaliate tenfold against him.

Thinking of the formidable War Emperor Kongming, he naturally could only swallow his anger and said, "I will immediately send her away!" He paused, then said to the Barbaric Girl, "Young lady, please leave."

"Huh?" Huo Jiang then looked at the girl properly, inadvertently showing a hint of amazement.

Honestly, Yun Cai was quite outstanding, and while her beauty might not compare with Demoness Gu, she was indeed a rare beauty. Moreover, born in the Barbaric areas, she possessed a natural, primal demeanor, creating a unique charm.

"Hold on!" Huo Jiang spoke up, addressing the girl, "Little beauty, what is your name?"

"What does it matter to you?" the girl retorted hotly, unhappy that she couldn’t lure Jia Boshan away and let Chu Hao steal the Green Silver Fruits.

"How does it not concern me?" Huo Jiang laughed, "I’ve taken a liking to you. From now on, you are my woman, shouldn’t I know your name?"

"Crazy!" the girl scoffed and turned to leave.

"Seize her!" Huo Jiang ordered Jia Boshan.

Jia Boshan hesitated before saying, "She is the joint disciple of War Emperors Tianshuang, Fire Cloud, and two others!"

He couldn’t provoke War Emperor Kong Ming, and he couldn’t provoke the four War Emperors either; just a flick from any of their fingers could crush him hundreds of times over.

"Oh?" Huo Jiang snorted, "What of it, are they as formidable as my great ancestor? If they dare to utter a word, I’ll have my great ancestor kill them all!"

Being able to talk so wildly, showing no respect for the four War Emperors, even seeing them as insignificant insects, showed the extent to which he was favored by War Emperor Kong Ming. In his eyes, the entire Spirit Spring Sect was his private kingdom, where those who followed him would prosper and those who opposed him would perish.

Jia Boshan’s face changed color, the four War Emperors were the pillars of the Spirit Spring Sect; without them, the sect’s strength would surely plummet significantly. More crucially, War Emperor Kong Ming would one day pass away, and who would then support the sect’s banner?

Even though the sect had powerful weapons left by War Emperors, at least it required War Emperors to activate them. War Emperor Tianshuang and the others were absolutely indispensable, even War Emperor Kong Ming greatly valued these significant figures.

"Huo Jiang, watch your words!" Jia Boshan solemnly said.

"Bullshit jerk, you dare talk about killing my four masters?" the Barbaric Girl raged. Her heart was simple and kind, as pure as a blank sheet but also prone to rage, especially when her loved ones or friends were threatened.

The fact that this guy had threatened to kill her four masters naturally made the girl uncontrollably furious, her fists tightly clenched.

"So what, they are just four old turtles!" Huo Jiang said carelessly, in his eyes, only his great ancestor was the greatest in the world, and he was second, who did he need to put in his eyes?

"I’ll smash you!" the girl yelled furiously, pointing her foot, and lunged towards Huo Jiang.

Jia Boshan also disliked Huo Quan, and seeing that both were Warriors, with Huo Jiang even being at the Eight Springs Peak, he did not rush to intervene, thinking they could fight for a while, and he could mediate later.

Huo Jiang snorted and raised his hand to meet the attack.

Bang!

As an Innate Body Cultivator, the girl possessed brutal strength, and her attack, driven by anger, was naturally oppressively powerful. Huo Jiang, having been forcibly enhanced by various Spiritual Medicines to become a Peak Warrior, might not win even against an ordinary seventh-tier Warrior, let alone against the battle-hardened Innate Body Cultivator like the Barbaric Girl.

With a single punch, she swung open Huo Jiang’s arms; her right fist advanced almost uninhibited and continued towards Huo Jiang’s chest.

If this punch landed solidly, Huo Jiang would certainly have been severely injured, and lying in bed for several months would have been inevitable.

However, just as the girl’s fist was about to strike Huo Jiang, a white radiance suddenly surged out from his body, forming a fist that viciously struck towards the girl.

"Puh—" the girl took the punch head-on, but immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, and was sent flying backwards.

"Hahahahaha, you thought you could hurt me?" Huo Jiang sneered coldly; he was the most favored descendant of War Emperor Kong Ming, naturally possessing powerful protective treasures, including some from the Ancient Times.

Chu Hao leaped forward and caught the girl.

"It hurts so much!" the girl moaned; her right fist was visibly twisted, clearly having broken bones from that punch.

Huo Jiang naturally didn’t have that ability, but the Treasure Tool on his body was too powerful, even an Innate Body Cultivator like the Barbaric Girl couldn’t escape having her bones broken with a single punch.

Chu Hao put the girl down; she had only injured her right hand. Her internal organs were also slightly affected, but not too severely.

"What are you, daring to lay your filthy hands on my woman!" Huo Jiang saw this and was immediately furiously enraged, his eyes as fierce as if he were about to commit murder.

Chu Hao’s face was cold as he walked towards Huo Jiang.

Jia Boshan silently sighed and still did not intervene. In his view, Chu Hao was just a small First Tier Warrior, naturally far inferior to Huo Jiang, and Huo Jiang also had an Ancient Treasure Tool, which made his intervention even less necessary.

"Why don’t you take a piss and look in the mirror? With that ugly face, how dare you think you can get the swan?" Chu Hao mercilessly ridiculed.

"Wha, what!" Huo Jiang almost went mad with anger. This guy dared to call him a toad? He yelled angrily and rushed towards Chu Hao, raising his fist and punching toward Chu Hao.

Chu Hao snorted and met the punch with his own.

He used Dragon Fist, which emitted golden flames from his fist, filled with terrifying power.

"Seeking death!" Huo Jiang scoffed coldly. No matter how strong the attack was, he had a Treasure Tool on his body that could unleash the destructive power of a War General, capable of suppressing any Warrior.

Chu Hao’s punch had already struck. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation and monthly tickets; your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read on m.qidian.com.)
