Chapter 279 The Fight For The Sky Fruit? Crazy Revelation!

Time seemed to come to a stop for everyone, especially for the Heavenly Strength Society's group. Things had somehow spiraled from a relaxed situation where they would be the only one attending the emergence, to a joint festival. And now, the most terrifying monster to have appeared since the start of the monsters' invasion had even come in to join the fun…

'This is what this reality is like…'

Looking at the horrifying figure in the sky, Leo felt the world turn surreal. Such a creature wouldn't have appeared back on Earth, and even in Murim, the chances of its existence was minimal. Yet, here he was, standing in the middle of this mix of reality, fantasy, and Martial Arts.

His life in 'Murim Supremacy' was mostly sheltered. Even when he faced the threat of monsters for the first time, Leo knew that someone would come to save him. However, now there was no telling what would happen. Cheon Chang himself was supposed to die to the Poison Dragon's claws!

Kraaa!

Everyone, including those who had the ability to stop the monster couldn't do anything due to the Poison Dragon's surprising time, there was someone reacting right next to Leo, but it was too late!

Crunch!

The Emerald Catastrophe closed its mouth as soon as it came into contact with the Azure Tree's crown, chomping off more than half of it alongside four of the cloudy Sky Fruits!

"Intolerable!"

No one could imagine how strong would this terrifying creature grow to be after eating as many as four Sky Fruits. However, they were more concerned about the Azure Tree that lost half of its head with the rest of its leaves melting under the Dragon's hazardous poison…

Most people wouldn't witness an Azure Tree's Emergence more than once in their life, let alone a fruit bearing one, but for some reason, they seemed to forget that fact as they felt pained that a resource on the world-level like this was perishing just like that.

Sishhhh!

As every Martial Artist's soul wailed, something that looked like an arrow shot towards the victorious Dragon who gleefully snatched the Sky Fruits from right under their noses.

Scraaaaaah!

The Dragon screamed in anger as the weapon that looked like a toothpick from the ground embedded itself into one of its large wings, and it didn't stop here.

Szszszappp!

A dark cloud condensed in the awfully clear sky, bringing an end to the phenomenon brought by the Azure Tree's Emergence as a large discharge of black electricity rained down on the Poison Dragon's wound.

'It's really an unfair fight.'

The source of the attack was none other than Cheon Chang! Only the Absolute Spear was capable of landing something like this at this distance! Unfortunately, the First Calamity had already swallowed one of the greatest cheat items within the whole novel, he was on an extremely high end buff!

As soon as the Black Dragon dropped down from its destroyed hold, the Poison Dragon's ruined flesh wriggled as if it had a life of its own, growing bigger and joining together, leaving only a small scorched mark in the wound's origin point.

Wraaaar!

However, even with the miraculous Sky Fruit's help, was a strike boosted by the world's nature and rage for the destruction of its 'child' something that could be shrugged off like that? Even though the cavity in his wings disappeared, the Poison Dragon could no longer maintain its flight in the mid of the air.

"Come out you shameless monk!"

Just as the Emerald Catastrophe came falling down like a broken airplane, a loud shout rose as a figure came out from behind the wilting Azure Tree. He stood tall with a single sword in hand, his other sleeve limblessly flew with the wind, which somehow made him look like he was erupting with righteousness!

"That's the Violet Bloom Sword! It's the Sword Sage!"

"Who is he calling out to? Can't he see that we are already busy dealing with this gigantic monster?"

The crowd cheered for the appearance of one of the few powerhouses that stood at the peak, but they quickly felt that something was wrong… It took them a while to remember due to the strange atmosphere, but this hero of justice had already been crippled by the monsters' ganging up on him during their first public appearance.

"Are you not going to show yourself? Do you really want me to denounce the Shaolin Temple right here in front of everyone?"

The old man's eyebrows closed up on each other, his face swelling with anger as he directed his gaze towards the falling Poison Dragon. It was only when he uttered his 'threat' that his target finally reacted.

"What action of mine seems wrong to you, you senile undying geezer?! I'm merely ridding our peace from these worldly temptations! You can't die that a never-ending massacre would have broken out by now if I hadn't intervened like this!"

Kroaaar!

It was definitely not the Poison Dragon that was doing the speaking, but the Internal Energy amplified voice seemed to come from around his head. Everyone easily came to the conclusion that someone was riding on his back just by following the earlier conversation, but...

"The Temple? Someone from the Shaolin brought this monster here?"

"This voice feels familiar, I feel like I heard it very recently…"

Only when they focused their enhanced vision on the Poison Dragon's head did the confused onlookers see the figure of a short old man rise from under one of the monster's scales.

"Hey! Is that the Shaolin Temple's Head abbot?!"

"Is someone like him really cooperating with the monster?"

"Don't quickly jump to conclusions! It could be someone using a transfiguration technique!"

Split between supporter and denouncer, everyone broke into chattery as they momentarily forgot the threat of the Calamity falling down to the ground. Still, however everyone looked at it, the Sword Sage seemed more believable than the person standing at the top of the beast.

"Is that why you fed these so-called temptations to humanity's enemy, while leaving only one for your pickings?"
