Chapter 3884: Snatch

“A mere Great Luo Immortal dares to be so arrogant. He’ll soon learn his lesson.”

Although the people around didn't speak, they all sneered, waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

Gu Rusong was the same. Only now did he understand why everyone looked at him strangely earlier, and now he had the same gaze.

But to their surprise, under their gaze, Ye Bufan walked forward step by step, finally entering the hundred-meter range, but the imagined scene did not occur.

His expression remained calm, his steps remained firm, and his speed not only did not slow down but became faster.

The Devilish Qi that had been frantically absorbing their Immortal Essence earlier could not stir up the slightest ripple in front of Ye Bufan.

“What’s going on? Has that Devilish Qi disappeared?”

Watching Ye Bufan walk in as if no one was there, these people were shocked and immediately rushed forward.

According to their thinking, the Devilish Qi that devoured Immortal Essence must have disappeared, or there had been other changes, and in this situation, they naturally couldn't let go of the half moon ink lotus.

These people scrambled, pushing and shoving, their speed pushed to the limit.

Gu Rusong was also like this, rushing over frantically, but his strength had been consumed too much earlier, and he hadn't recovered much yet, making him much slower than others.

Just as he was extremely anxious, he suddenly found that those who rushed in first fell to the ground one after another, no different from what he had experienced before.

“This…”

Seeing this scene, his expression changed, and then he stopped in his tracks.

Facts proved that the Devilish Qi that devoured Immortal Essence had not disappeared; for them, it was exactly the same as before.

Those people also realized this and quickly retreated, scrambling out in a sorry state.

After this commotion, they gained no advantage at all; instead, a large amount of Immortal Essence was absorbed again.

“Why is that Young man fine?”

After these people recovered, they looked at Ye Bufan in shock again, only to find that he had already arrived in front of the half moon ink lotus.

Ye Bufan, having obtained the Ancient Medical Sect Legacy, understood the characteristics of the half moon ink lotus very well.

The reason this item is precious is partly because it's extremely rare, and picking it is even more difficult; ordinary people simply cannot approach it.

The violent Devilish Qi would absorb one's Immortal Essence and turn it into its own nourishment.

However, this item was ineffective against him; with the Demon Refining Bottle in his hand, all Devilish Qi was but fleeting clouds.

If he didn't want to cause too much of a stir, it would be no problem to directly absorb all the dark Devilish Qi here.

To keep a low profile, Ye Bufan had always controlled the extent, absorbing the Devilish Qi around him completely, yet it went unnoticed by others.

He examined the half moon ink lotus up close; its lotus leaves were as black as ink, emitting a faint, delicate fragrance.

The creation of heaven and earth is truly marvelous; an immortal spirit grass that clearly grows amidst Devilish Qi can precisely clear Devilish Qi from entering the body.

As the saying goes, things are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining, and this is exactly the case.

Then Ye Bufan took out two jade boxes and a jade ruler.

The jade ruler swung, cutting off the root of the half moon ink lotus, and the two lotus flowers fell into the jade boxes respectively.

Ye Bufan put away one jade box and held the other in his hand.

Strangely enough, as soon as the half moon ink lotus was put away, the surrounding condensed Devilish Qi quickly dissipated, returning to normal levels in the blink of an eye.

Gu Rusong and the others were completely dumbfounded, especially those who had arrived earlier. The half moon ink lotus, which they had tried every possible way to obtain, had just so easily fallen into someone else's hands.

Ye Bufan stepped back to Su Hongye's side, “As agreed before, this is for you, but it’s too dangerous here and might attract trouble, so I’ll hold onto it for you first.”

Although the half moon ink lotus was a good item, one was already enough.

As for the remaining flower, as previously stated, he had no intention of keeping it for himself but planned to give it to Su Hongye.

However, surrounded by powerful cultivators, each one was like a hungry wolf, eyeing the half moon ink lotus.

Normally, with Su Hongye's strength, she wouldn't be able to protect it and would instead invite a fatal disaster.

He was entirely well-intentioned, but others didn't understand, including Su Hongye, whose eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

She was, after all, an Immortal King Late Stage, and the other party was merely a Great Luo Immortal; this statement should have been reversed.

But ultimately, this half moon ink lotus was obtained by Ye Bufan, and since he had promised it to her, she couldn't say much, only nodding slightly.

But just then, a harsh voice rang out beside them.

“How dare a mere Great Luo Immortal speak such arrogant words? Since you promised us the item, hand it over quickly.”

As he spoke, Gu Rusong had already arrived in front of the two.

Although Ye Bufan successfully obtained the half moon ink lotus, he did not believe that the other party's strength was superior to his own; there must have been some unknown special method.

As for a treasure like the half moon ink lotus, it would be safer in his own hands, especially since the other party was merely a Great Luo Immortal.

With so many powerful cultivators around, he might lose his head at any moment. He didn't care if the other party died, but he absolutely couldn't lose the treasure.

Ye Bufan frowned slightly: “Are you sure you want to take it yourself?”

“Of course, otherwise, should it stay in your hands? You should look at your own strength.”

As Gu Rusong spoke, he directly snatched it.

Ye Bufan smiled coldly, allowing the other party to take the jade box from his hand.

“Junior Sister, I’m heading back first.”

Gu Rusong called out, and his whole person transformed into a phantom, speeding away into the distance.

According to his thinking, with his strength, it would not be difficult to escape from here.

In comparison, Ye Bufan also had a half moon ink lotus in his hand, and the people around should go for that one instead, after all, the other party was just a Great Luo Immortal.

But to his utter surprise, the crowd around did not rush to act against Ye Bufan.

In their eyes, this Great Luo Immortal stood there with no intention of running and couldn't possibly escape.

In comparison, preventing this Immortal King Peak from taking away the half moon ink lotus was the top priority.

After all, there were too many wolves and too little meat; there were only two flowers for so many powerful cultivators.

So, everyone swarmed forward, surrounding Gu Rusong.

The bald Immortal King Peak leader, with the long saber in his hand, sliced through the Void Realm, bringing it down in a single strike.

Gu Rusong secretly groaned in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. At this point, he could only fight head-on, raising his hand to meet the sword.

When the saber and sword clashed, he was shaken back four or five steps, clearly the opponent's strength had recovered more than his own.

But before he could stabilize his footing, a cold glint flashed behind him, and a golden longsword pierced directly through his back.

“Ah…”

Gu Rusong let out a mournful wail, but just as he was halfway through, another cold light flashed, and his head flew high into the air, chopped off by another Ghost Immortal King beside him with a single saber strike.

A wisp of Primordial Spirit overflowed from his Niwan Palace, floating in mid-air, and before it could even discern the surrounding situation, it was shattered into dust by a saber light.

At the same time, the people around began to snatch the jade box, fighting back and forth with great enthusiasm.

And just then, an Immortal Essence large hand grabbed horizontally from the side, snatching away the jade box. Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see the half moon ink lotus reappear in the Young man's hand.
