Chapter 28 - Seizing the Heavenly Marrow Fruit

"Look, look, the heaven marrow fruit is about to fall!" The Genius Martial Artists under the tree were all poised, their eyes fixed on the heaven marrow fruit.

Almost simultaneously, five vibrant heaven marrow fruits detached from the branches, shooting out in all directions with a spiritual glow.

"Haha, this one is mine!" A Martial Artist, clearly from a small city judging by his attire, was overjoyed when he saw one of the heaven marrow fruits flying towards him. He leaped forward, reaching out to grab it.

A cold Sharp Weapon, imbued with a strong Dark Element, slashed towards his arm.

"You're courting death! This isn't for you to touch, get lost!" a sharp shout came from beside him.

"Assassin Hall? I usually give you some Face, but do you really think you're so great? Treasures are for those with fate; if you have the ability, come and snatch it." The small-city Martial Artist showed no fear.

With that, the small-city Martial Artist grabbed the flying heaven marrow fruit, placed it in his storage ring, and prepared to look for an opportunity to slip away, not intending to prolong the fight.

"Don't even think about running, chase him!" The crowd quickly surrounded him, no one willing to let the heaven marrow fruit they had almost obtained fall into someone else's hands.

The Assassin Hall Martial Artist immediately activated Nightshade Dark Breath. The Dark Element aura quickly spread, enveloping everyone who had come to participate in the snatch. Several Netherworld Pierces shot towards the small-city Martial Artist who was preparing to retreat with the heaven marrow fruit.

Fortunately, the small-city Martial Artist was also a master of the Dark Element and did not slow down due to the influence of Nightshade Dark Breath, instantly rushing out of the battlefield like a meteor.

Before he could even catch his breath, The Elder of the Lu Family, who had already been ambushed at the exit, blocked his path. The Elder of the Lu Family smiled as he stood in front of him: "Young friend, please stay. Congratulations on obtaining the first heaven marrow fruit. Are you willing to sell it to my Lu Family? We will offer a price that will satisfy you."

Immediately after, the Elder of the Luo Family also stepped forward and echoed: "Young friend, there's no need to worry. We are not those who seize by force. Our Luo Family is willing to offer equivalent resources in exchange. Would young friend be willing to give us some Face?"

"It seems that Martial Artists without a background, even if they snatch a heaven marrow fruit, cannot leave smoothly," the Martial Artists watching the show nearby discussed amongst themselves.

"It's sad, who told us we didn't have a powerful background."

At the same time, the struggle for the other four heaven marrow fruits was also extremely intense.

The two brothers of the Lu Family each rushed towards two of them. The Assassin Hall, having failed in their snatch, turned to another one, and Luo Tingyun, a skilled hand, also participated in the struggle for the last one.

Only these four are left. Which one should I snatch, and how to escape quickly after succeeding, all need to be thought out in advance.

Shen Han stood aside, pondering in secret, quickly assessing the situation.

Currently, only Dark Element and Space Element abilities are suitable for use. The Lightning Element cannot be exposed to others; any clue that could link back to him must be cut off. The corresponding Wood Element and Ice Element skills are too weak to support a snatching battle. The Space Element, however, must be used, otherwise there would be no way to retreat unscathed from the encirclement of the crowd.

He directly activated Nightshade Dark Breath and rushed towards the heaven marrow fruit that Lu Yanlin was involved in snatching. The Assassin Hall and Luo Tingyun both had Dark Element, so he couldn't use Nightshade Dark Breath to quickly snatch the treasure and run. Lu Jingheng was too far away.

Seeing that Shen Han had also come to snatch, Lu Yanlin became furious. "Get lost, bumpkin, there's no share for you here. My Lu Family is an existence you cannot afford to offend."

Shen Han had no time to pay attention. The S-grade Special Ability Nightshade Dark Breath was not to be underestimated; its power was much stronger than before. While everyone's Mental Energy was Sealed, a dozen Netherworld Pierces directly knocked down the Dark Element Martial Artists. He grabbed the heaven marrow fruit and headed straight for the exit.

Everyone had not expected Shen Han to be so strong. He snatched the heaven marrow fruit in just a few seconds. When Shen Han ran out of the exit, everyone was still under the Mental Energy Seal of Nightshade Dark Breath.

One more gone, only three left. Seeing that this one had been taken out of the battlefield by Shen Han in an instant, everyone had no choice but to give up. Only Lu Yanlin had a gloomy expression. "Wang Gang, right? You just wait for me, we're not done. What if you snatched it? Can you still escape from the hands of our Family elders?"

As expected, as soon as Shen Han came out, he encountered a group of powerhouses from major Families and forces. It seemed that if he didn't choose to trade this heaven marrow fruit, he wouldn't be able to leave the Shadowed Forest at all.

The Elder of the Lu Family said with a hint of condescension: "Young friend, have you considered selling the heaven marrow fruit to my Lu Family?"

"What if I am unwilling to trade with you all?" Shen Han was very displeased with their behavior.

A bad-tempered elder in the Lu Family team glared at Shen Han and sneered: "You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit? Do you really think you can leave safely with the heaven marrow fruit? Just now, a Martial Artist from a small city tried to leave with a heaven marrow fruit, guess where he is now?"

"Of course, we are all civilized people and will not lay hands on young friend. However, we still recommend that young friend make this trade with our Lu Family." The Elder of the Lu Family smiled gently, seeing more and more eyes on them.

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful Mental Energy Divine Might suddenly enveloped Shen Han, making his mind unstable. These people were "civilized" on the surface, but inwardly, they were so coercive. Shen Han couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

"Is this how these so-called great Families operate? I've seen it today," Shen Han couldn't help but sneer. "Lu Family, you clean your neck and wait. When my strength is sufficient, we'll play slowly."

"Devouring Skill - Activate"

In an instant, The Elder of the Lu Family's Mental Energy Divine Might could no longer affect Shen Han in the slightest. The several elders around him were all surprised. "This girl is definitely a Genius, but it's a pity she's not from our aristocratic Family."

"Teleportation"

These people were still marveling that Shen Han could remain unaffected by the Mental Energy Divine Might when suddenly, their eyes blurred, and the person was gone.

A living person, alive and well, disappeared before their eyes.

"Hiss~" There were sounds of people gasping. "This… this is the Space Element's 'Teleportation'?"

"To actually see the extremely rare Space Element here is worth the trip," many people exclaimed. "I didn't expect 'Teleportation' to be so cool, disappearing into thin air without a trace. This is simply a life-saving Sharp Weapon!"

"At least S-grade Dark Element, plus Space Element, this girl's potential is no weaker than those Geniuses from big cities."

The elders guarding outside also looked at each other, not expecting that the girl who had just Awakened was actually of the Space Element.

"Find out who that girl is and where she's from," The Elder of the Lu Family asked the person responsible for registration below.

"Replying to Senior Lu, that person was named Wang Gang. It's unclear where he's from, and no major Families in the surrounding cities or the provincial capital have heard of this person."

"Hmph, Wang Gang, right? Very good, you have successfully caught my attention," The Elder of the Lu Family said with a sinister smile, then turned to another elder beside him, gave him a look, and whispered: "Keep a close eye on this person."
