Chapter 2351: Five Thunders Striking the Top

Seeing Dong Ruian's reaction, everyone was startled, and Meng Gang and Feng Haogeng were filled with regret.

They regretted their slow reaction, knowing that they should have snatched the golden bell buddha fruit first, as an extra fifteen to thirty minutes wouldn't have made much difference.

Watching his True Qi hand get closer and closer to the golden bell buddha fruit tree, Dong Ruian was filled with excitement.

But just as he thought he was about to succeed, a huge figure suddenly shot out like lightning from the nearby dense forest, and a massive claw, carrying a world-destroying Aura, swatted down at him.

“Ah!”

Dong Ruian was startled, not expecting an 8th-Order Demon Beast Swordtooth Tiger to appear at this moment.

This big fellow was incredibly powerful, absolutely no less than a full-strength strike from a Void Tempering Peak expert.

If he insisted on getting the golden bell buddha fruit at this moment, he would probably be killed before he even got his hands on it.

Thinking of this, he no longer cared about anything else and quickly retracted his hand, striking out with a palm to meet the Swordtooth Tiger.

His True Qi hand collided with the Swordtooth Tiger's massive paw, instantly being shattered, and his entire body was sent flying backward.

Dong Ruian's Qi and blood surged from the impact, but he secretly rejoiced, grateful for his quick reaction, otherwise, that blow might have killed him.

Just then, a sharp eagle cry came from mid-air, followed by a giant Thunder Eagle appearing in the sky, its entire body flickering with dark blue electric arcs.

“Uh…”

Dong Ruian was startled, unable to understand why so many 8th-Order Demon Beasts suddenly appeared here.

Before he could react, the Thunder Eagle directly swooped down, and then five lightning arcs, as thick as buckets, descended from the sky, accompanied by rumbling thunder, striking down at him.

“Ah! No…”

Dong Ruian was shocked and let out a tragic wail.

Originally, with his strength, he could still fight against an 8th-Order Demon Beast; even if he couldn't win, he could escape.

However, he had just been ambushed by the Swordtooth Tiger, and his strength hadn't fully recovered yet, so how could he handle the Thunder Eagle's full-strength attack?

In desperation, Dong Ruian exerted all his strength to condense a layer of True Qi shield, but it was instantly shattered by the dark blue electric arcs, which then heavily struck his body.

“Five Thunders striking the top of my head, my oath has really come true!”

This was Dong Ruian’s last thought before he died, his heart filled with regret.

If he had known this, he shouldn't have casually made that oath; he originally thought it was just words, but he didn't expect it to actually come true.

Under everyone's gaze, Dong Ruian was annihilated by five lightning bolts; when the lightning dissipated, there was nothing left of him, and his Primordial Spirit was also shattered.

The people from Cangfeng Academy were terrified, not expecting their backer to die like this.

But they no longer cared about revenge; they all turned and ran, fearing that if they ran a little slower, they would die at the hands of these big fellows.

Meng Gang and Feng Haogeng swallowed hard as they witnessed all of this.

They had not taken their oaths seriously before, having made such vows countless times without them ever coming true.

But seeing Dong Ruian die from the five thunders striking his head, their hearts immediately tensed up.

They couldn't help but recall Ye Bufan's words just now: could their oaths really come true?

After a brief moment of shock, the two of them no longer cared about the golden bell buddha fruit and turned to run, after all, no matter how good the treasure was, they needed to be alive to enjoy it.

Ye Bufan had two Vajra Apes there, so they didn't dare to charge directly; Meng Gang directly rushed towards the dense forest on the left.

In his opinion, with his Void Tempering Peak strength, he would be safe once he entered the forest.

To escape, this fellow pushed his cultivation to the extreme, moving as fast as a bolt of lightning.

But just as he reached the edge of the dense forest, a giant figure suddenly rushed out from within, carrying an overwhelming Aura.

The 8th-Order Demon Beast Tie Jia, like a moving small mountain, slammed into him fiercely.

“Damn it!”

Meng Gang was both shocked and angry; he couldn't understand where Ye Bufan found so many 8th-Order Demon Beasts.

Although this was the Endless Forest, it shouldn't be possible to just grab a handful, and all of them obeyed his summons.

Now there was no choice; facing such a large Tie Jia, dodging was impossible, so he could only fight head-on.

He quickly struck out with both palms, using all his strength to block the attack.

Although he was at Void Tempering Peak, facing the powerful Tie Jia, he was still sent flying backward, like a sandbag, for dozens of meters.

And just then, the Black Demon Ape moved; it had its own little scheme.

Seeing that these people were being killed by other Yao Beasts, what if it didn't get Medicinal Pills later? It had to seize the time to show off.

Thinking of this, it directly rushed over, its huge paw fiercely striking down.

Meng Gang could handle one 8th-Order Demon Beast; although he couldn't win, he could barely protect himself.

But facing the combined attack of two 8th-Order Demon Beasts at once was impossible; his Qi was already in disarray from the collision, and he had no power to resist the Black Demon Ape's claw.

With a splat, the Wuliang Temple's esteemed Seventh Elder was smacked into a pulp by the Black Demon Ape's claw, directly embedded into the ground.

On the other side, although Feng Haogeng chose another direction, the outcome was not much different.

Ye Bufan had originally given them no chance to escape; several 8th-Order Demon Beasts had already formed a encirclement.

He could ignore the small fry, but these three Void Tempering Peaks absolutely could not be allowed to escape.

As soon as he moved, the Thunder Eagle above him had already swooped down, and huge lightning arcs struck down one after another.

Facing such a powerful bombardment, Feng Haogeng could only stop and resist with all his might.

Although he eventually blocked it with his powerful cultivation, he was still struck until he was covered in dust and in a sorry state.

At this moment, the Tie Jia guarding the other side pounced over, still using its most擅长's brutal charge.

Feng Haogeng was now numb all over from the electricity, and his True Qi was almost depleted, so how could he still resist?

He was sent flying like a cannonball, and behind him, the giant Swordtooth Tiger had opened its mouth wide, revealing its stark white teeth.

Feng Haogeng was filled with terror but had no way out, and was swallowed whole by the Swordtooth Tiger.

At this moment, all the oaths made by the three people earlier had come true.

All of this happened in a flash, almost in the blink of an eye, and three Void Tempering Peak powerhouses all perished.

Luo Tianya and the others nearby were already scared out of their wits, no longer daring to stay here, scattering like birds and beasts.

The several 8th-Order Demon Beasts were all focused on dealing with Meng Gang and the others, having no time to bother with them.

Ye Bufan's attention remained on the Vajra Ape tree; at this moment, the seven fruits had completely turned purplish-gold, dropping from the tree one after another.

He flashed over, and with the jade boxes he had already prepared, he caught the golden bell buddha fruits one after another.

After doing all this, Ye Bufan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking down at the golden bell buddha fruits in his hand, each one shimmered with golden light, full of Spiritual Qi, and flowing with Buddhist charm; it was clear at a glance that they were rare heavenly and earthly spiritual treasures.

They were indeed good things, and a smile played on Ye Bufan's lips.

With so many people vying for the Vajra Ape, he was ultimately the biggest winner.
