Chapter 746: Chopping Wood is What I Do Best

“You’ll pay for your impudence!” shouted someone before the Sunberry Chief even said anything.

“Are all people from the seventh dimension this rude? Don’t you know how to behave as a guest?”

“You should be grateful that you’re given a sunberry!”

“I say we should just kill them!”

Their brows were all furrowed and their anger was directed at Xiao Chengfeng.

However, he did not back down. He shot up from his seat, scoffed, and said, “Old Sunberry himself hasn’t even said anything and here you all are acting like lickspittles! If I didn’t know any better, I’d think you’re all just hoping to get another sunberry out of this!”

He knew where his priorities were—suppress the unknown gray mist and bring back a sunberry tree of the expert. Hence, he did not bother to play the diplomat in this situation.

‘Did he just call me Old Sunberry?’ The Sunberry Chief’s eyes flashed with anger but he managed to temp it down. He squeezed out a smile and said, “Hehe, everyone, please, calm down. Our friends from the seventh dimension are just a little too straightforward. Please, forgive them. Here, have some sunberries.”

“You’re too kind, Chief. If it were up to us, we would’ve taken them down already!”

“Thank you for the sunberries!”

“Yes, we’ll follow the Sunberry Clan to the ends of the world!”

Smiles broke out all around and the guests began to eat the sunberries. They cheered with joy as soon as they bit into it.

“Wow! Is this the power of Origins? One bite gives me the equivalent of ten thousand years of cultivation!”

“So, the legends of the Origins are true! This is really the fastest way to become the strongest!”

“Damn, this is delicious! I feel like I’m close to being enlightened. Another half-step and I’ll become a Wisdom Elite!”

“The power of Origins is the supreme power! Even Wisdom has to bow down to it.”

Everyone was immersed in the ecstasy of their powers increasing. Even Ziyang Elite and Lingyu Elite were impressed by the thick Origins contained in the sunberries.

“Let’s raise a glass to the Chief for we wouldn’t have this great fortune if it weren’t for him!” said Ziyang Elite with a grin.

“Yes, let’s all thank him together! With the sunberries in our hands, we’ll surely become the strongest in all of the seven dimensions!”

With burning passion in their eyes, everyone got up from their seats.

“Haha, thank you all for putting your faith in the Sunberry Clan! Rest assured that you’ll all receive a frequent supply of the power of Origins once you’ve joined the Sunberry Clan! I guarantee that each and every one of you here will become stronger than ever before!” said the Sunberry Chief with a smile and the crowd erupted in a roar.

However, Yang Jing and the others remained seated. They looked over the sunberries in front of them, nodded from time to time, and started to give their evaluations.

“Not bad. This is indeed a new fruit that the expert doesn’t have.”

“We’ve been lacking in our supply of new fruits so much that the expert got bored of all the fruits he has. This will surely make it up to him.”

“I wonder what it tastes like and whether the expert will like it.”

After finishing his toast, the Sunberry Chief noticed that they still had not touched the sunberry. So, he said, “Please eat it while it’s still fresh.”

There was a weird glint in his eyes as he smiled to himself internally. The sunberries were grown by him and apart from containing the Origins of the fourth dimension, they also contained a hint of the unknown gray mist. One bite, and Yang Jing and the rest would be contaminated with the unknown and then, he would have the secrets of the seventh dimension in his hands!

That was why he had been letting them get away with their brutish behavior. Now, the time had come for his payback! The other guests were also secretly keeping a close eye on Yang Jing and the others, waiting for them to submit to the awesomeness of the sunberries. They could not wait to see the cocky seventh dimension people become sycophants to the Sunberry Clan.

Under their watchful gazes, Yang Jing and the others began to slowly peel off the skin of the fruit, revealing the green flesh underneath it. The Sunberry Chief’s body began to tremble with excitement as they opened their mouths to take a bite. ‘C’mon…eat it…just eat it!’

Finally, they bit into the juicy flesh but spit it out within half a second. Disgust was all over their faces.

“Blergh! What is this? Is this all it takes to be called a divine fruit now?”

“It’s rancid! Even a dog wouldn’t eat it!”

“Ugh! I feel like I’m eating poop. Blergh!”

“Even the skin from the fruits in the expert’s backyard is a hundred times tastier than this. Quick, let’s wash the taste out of our mouths!”

“We need to gargle! This sunberry’s poisoned!”

They quickly took out a mandarin orange, peeled it, and shoved the slices into their mouths. Lord Angel and War Angel did not have a stockpile of fruits on them so they had to make do with the mandarin orange’s peel.

The other guests were shocked by this development.

“Are they crazy? How can they say it’s disgusting? Do they even know what good food is?”

“They mustn’t be right in the head. It pains me to see them being so wasteful.”

“The seventh dimension people don’t know chalk from cheese!”

“Wait a minute…those spiritual fruits they took out seem to have an even thicker Origins aura than the sunberries!” shouted someone with disbelief.

“Gasp! He’s right. The spiritual fruits in the seventh dimension contain Origins, too!”

“Oh my god, how’s this possible? Is it really that easy to get it over there?”

“Quick, take them down and get the fruits from them!”

Ziyang Elite’s eyes flashed brightly as he stretched out his hand toward the Heavenly Palace people’s fruit. However, a flash of sword light appeared and he started to scream in pain. His entire arm had been cut off! His Origins of Life was flashing brightly as it tried to regrow the arm.

Jiang Liu stabbed his sword on the table, scoffed, and said, “You should’ve thought it through before trying to do something as stupid as this.”

“That’s enough!” The Sunberry Chief had had enough! His force began to surge around him. “Did you purposely come here to make trouble?”

Xiao Chengfeng flashed him a relieved smile. “Yes! You’re finally getting it. We’ve come on behalf of the expert to eradicate you!”

Jiang Liu laughed and said, “For a fruit, you’ve got quite a temper on you! It’s a good thing we didn’t eat the sunberry, otherwise we would’ve become as bad-tempered as you!”

Cultivator Junjun furrowed his brow and shook his head, feeling sorry for the Sunberry Chief. “It’s a pity that you’re already contaminated with the unknown gray mist. The expert would surely find your taste disagreeable now. You’re ruined by your own cleverness.”

“Yes, yes, yes. We all know your seventh dimension’s the greatest, but how can you come here to cause trouble when we’ve kept to ourselves?!” The Sunberry Chief’s voice suddenly turned savage and cold. “Oh well, I can’t possibly let you go back alive after all that.”

“I couldn’t agree more. I’m sure we can suppress them if we all join forces together!” said Ziyang Elite coldly.

“Tianhua, when did you get mixed up with this bunch of people and where did you all get the Spiritual Fruits?” said Lingyu Elite with a greedy glint in his eyes.

“Lingyu Elite, listen to my advice, stay out of this and you might just be able to keep your life,” said Lord Angel evenly.

“Don’t blame me for using force if you’re not going to tell me!” said Lingyu Elite. His face darkened and immediately, a palm strike shot out toward Lord Angel.

Lord Angel shook his head and with a raise of his hand, Wisdom condensed into a palm strike shooting forward. The two palm strikes collided against each other and the impact sent Lingyu Elite flying through the air like a kite with a broken string.

Everyone’s eyes opened wide with disbelief and shock.

“Isn’t Lingyu Elite a second-step Wisdom Elite? How can he be sent flying with only one move?”

“Lord Angel’s so strong!”

“No wonder the people from the seventh dimension are so cocky! We’ve underestimated them!”

Lingyu Elite crawled up from the ground disconcertedly. “Tianhua, how are you so strong?”

“Ha! Of course, I’m strong! Did you really think that you can bully the seventh dimension?”

Xiao Chengfeng took flight to the air, and in a clear voice, he said, “God wouldn’t accept the birth of Xiao Chengfeng, but my sword cultivation’s still historical like the long night! Those who surrender now will be spared!”

His overwhelming aura suddenly surged while the aura of Wisdom wrapped around his sword like a dragon, forming an earth-shattering coercion that would even make a Wisdom Elite quake in his boots. He was definitely close to being a second-step Wisdom Elite.

Everyone present was shocked. They looked at each other with fear in their eyes and those who were not even at the Heavenly Realm especially felt that they were not even qualified to be cannon fodder.

The Sunberry Chief’s face was cold and mocking. “All of you have eaten the sunberries, so it’s time for you to put yourself to good use!”

The crowd began to tremble. There were expressions of pain on their faces and the mana in their bodies grew increasingly disordered. Even Ziyang Elite and Lingyu Elite were no exception.

“Oh no! This sunberry’s poisoned!”

“We’ve been set up! How can you be so vile, Chief?”

“Ah! No! What is this power? Why is there hair sprouting all over my body?”

“We’re contaminated with… with… The unknown. Ahhh—!”

In an instant, white hair began to grow on all the guests who had eaten the sunberries. Their eyes glazed over and they charged at the Heavenly Palace people savagely as soon as their gazes fell on them.

Yang Jing pierced a white-haired monster with his blade and said, “Tsk, tsk. This is what you get for being a sycophant to the Sunberry Clan.”

“Let me put you out of your misery!” Jiang Liu slashed down on the monsters as if he was chopping down a tree.

There seemed to be no force behind his attack but instantly, every white-haired monster in his path had been wiped out. What was amazing was that there were three Wisdom Elites amongst the monsters.

“I expect nothing less than the expert’s personal woodcutter! Brother Jiang Liu, your power’s beyond human!” said Yang Jing, impressed.

“He’s stealing my spotlight! I bet I can do a better job than him if I was the expert’s personal woodcutter!” said Xiao Chengfeng angrily and enviously.

Although the white-haired monsters had the advantage of numbers on their side, they did not possess the power that the Heavenly Palace people had gotten after following Li Nianfan for so long. They managed to suppress all the monsters with their all-consuming and overwhelming attacks.

The Sunberry Chief never moved from his place as he calmly watched. He did not join in the battle but instead, quietly walked to the back garden forest.

“Fruit, where do you think you’re going?!” Jiang Liu immediately pursued him. He entered the back garden forest and saw rows of dense sunberry trees. Normally, he would be revitalized by all the green but the atmosphere there was quite creepy, to say the least.

“Let me go! Someone, please, save me!”

The cries for help floated in his ear. Then, he saw a sunberry tree being surrounded by the others while a thick cloud of unknown gray mist closed in on her. Jiang Liu’s eyes lit up, delighted to discover that there was still one sunberry tree that had not been contaminated by the unknown gray mist.

“Let her go, you scum!” His face darkened and he quickly slashed down on them.

“No! What’s happening?”

“Gah! What a terrifying attack! It’s the scourge of us trees!”

“How will we be able to withstand such a heaven-defying ultimate spell?”

Despair descended on all the panicking sunberry trees and their miserable screams filled the air as they were cut into halves.

“You all should be honored to die under my woodcutting technique!” Jiang Liu smiled arrogantly. Then, he appeared before the young sunberry. “I’m so glad to have found you. This way, we won’t be going back empty-handed,” he said happily.

“Watch out!” shouted the young sunberry tree.

Jiang Liu arched his eyebrow, spun around, and brought his sword down.

A huge branch was chopped off! An extremely huge sunberry tree appeared in front of him as the rest of the sunberry trees closed in on him as well.

“I wonder whether I should call you brave or stupid for chasing me here,” said the Sunberry Chief, his voice echoing through the air.

Then, one branch after another whipped through the air, aiming straight for Jiang Liu from all directions. Jiang Liu remained calm, standing where he was as he waved his sword around him, cutting down one branch after another. With each cut, a branch would fall to the ground. The sunberry trees never got close to him at all. In a blink of an eye, the ground was covered with broken branches. Wisdom was still swirling around Jiang Liu as it seemed like he had entered a state of flow.

The Sunberry Chief was looking at him like he was his nemesis. “What kind of ultimate spell is this? Who are you exactly?”

Jiang Liu balanced the tip of his sword on the ground and calmly said, “I’m a woodcutter. Chopping wood is what I do best.”
