Li Rui, Old Monster, and Lightning Weasel walked together, laughing.
Suddenly, a cliff came into view.
"What is this?" The male protagonist's eyes flashed with surprise as he asked.
"Could this be the Dragon Fruit that takes a thousand years to bloom and a thousand years to bear fruit? If I see it today, my life will not have been lived in vain," Old Monster said.
Li Rui stared at the round fruit, thinking about how wonderful it would be to have just one bite...
"This fruit will dissolve if not picked within three hours of ripening. If we encounter it..." Old Monster said calmly at that moment.
The three exchanged glances, a glimmer of excitement flashing in their eyes.
Suddenly, a roar came from the depths nearby.
It turned out to be the Demon Beasts in the secret realm. They had waited for thousands of years for the fruit, and upon seeing the three of them, they leaped into the air in anger.
With a "swish swish swish," a fierce and menacing leopard stared at Li Rui.
Li Rui was puzzled; even Lightning Weasel and Old Monster beside him hadn’t heard any footsteps to warn him before this leopard charged right in front of him. How fast was it?
Clearly, this was due to Li Rui's earlier use of the Yin Yang Bagua Palm, which had startled the beasts in the secret realm.
This was a Flying Winged Leopard from the secret realm, sporting a pair of transparent wings. From a distance, it looked powerful, moving lightly and quickly.
The Flying Winged Leopard circled in front of Li Rui for a while, constantly lifting its head to sniff around as if testing its strength. It emitted fierce growls, warning them not to come closer!
"Who dares to be reckless here! How many years have I waited for this Dragon Fruit! How could I allow someone like you to take it?" a rough voice boomed.
Seeing this, Li Rui's first instinct was to run. He quickly picked up Lightning Weasel and Old Monster and dashed toward the nearby pool. Before Li Rui could reach it, the Flying Winged Leopard was already by the Spiritual Water, glaring at him menacingly.
Li Rui assessed that the Flying Winged Leopard was not easy to deal with; it felt like they were not on the same level at all. The gap between early-stage and late-stage was vast.
"You are here, let me come forward and subdue you!" Li Rui said calmly.
Seeing this, Li Rui immediately took out the dagger from his bosom. Infusing it with True Qi, it soon emitted a dazzling light as Li Rui charged towards the Flying Winged Leopard, which also rushed towards him.
The Lightning Weasel and Old Monster nearby covered their eyes, unable to bear the sight of such brutality.
With a loud bang, Li Rui and the Flying Winged Leopard collided, creating a tense situation.
Li Rui felt his strength had increased significantly. He extended his fist towards the Flying Winged Leopard, which responded by extending its sharp claws to counter.
Li Rui's power had multiplied several times, slamming the Flying Winged Leopard heavily to the ground.
The Flying Winged Leopard was also taken aback by Li Rui's formidable destructive power.
Li Rui then unleashed the Yin Yang Bagua Palm against the Flying Winged Leopard. Due to his greatly enhanced strength, the damage from his technique was even more potent and accurate.
The Flying Winged Leopard used its internal energy to resist, but as Li Rui expected, it was sent flying far away. It spat blood in mid-air and stumbled to the ground.
After infusing a bit of True Qi, Li Rui felt his strength increase several more times. He charged at the Flying Winged Leopard again, which was unprepared for another heavy blow and immediately fell to the ground, still glaring fiercely at Li Rui.
Li Rui declared dominantly, "I don't want to kill you; you are forcing my hand!"
Then Li Rui activated the Yin Yang Bagua Palm once more and struck at the Flying Winged Leopard. At this point, the Flying Winged Leopard had no strength left to stand and could only watch as Li Rui prepared to end its life.
With a resounding "boom," the Flying Winged Leopard let out a few mournful cries before lying dead on the ground.
After confirming that the Flying Winged Leopard was dead, Li Rui walked over to it and pulled out his sharp dagger.
The Lightning Weasel and Old Monster looked at Li Rui in confusion; clearly, the Flying Winged Leopard was already dead—why was he still taking out a dagger?
Li Rui took out the dagger he always carried with him and began to carve on the Flying Winged Leopard. Before long, he had cut off one of its wings.
A pair of transparent and beautiful wings appeared before Li Rui, the flawless wing bones looking strong and powerful.
"You really are something special," Lightning Weasel and Old Monster looked at Li Rui in confusion. Is this really something so strange?
Li Rui, with a joyful expression, looked at Lightning Weasel and Old Monster, then said, "You guys don’t know, right? The speed of this leopard is astonishing because of these wings. With these wings in our hands, we can do anything we want."
Lightning Weasel and Old Monster suddenly understood.
They seemed to think Li Rui's expression was a bit eerie, but they nodded, indicating that they understood as well.
Then, Li Rui put the wings on himself.
Lightning Weasel and Old Monster were astonished.
Li Rui showed a look of disdain. Don't you know these can help you fly?
Suddenly, Li Rui flew into the air, quite mysteriously!
Lightning Weasel and Old Monster found it amusing. Then Li Rui exerted force with the wings and quickly soared into the sky, moving at an incredible speed, leaving behind a long shadow in the air.
Before long, Lightning Weasel and Old Monster became adept at using the wings. They began to play in the air, trying out various movements.
Old Monster grew impatient and said, "Alright, stop playing around. Let me give it a try!"
After putting them on, Old Monster felt as light as a feather.
Then he attempted to fly, and the wings lifted him into the air at an astonishing speed.
The wings could be freely controlled according to one’s will, which was quite magical.
"Wow! This feels amazing!" Old Monster couldn't help but exclaim.
After playing for a while, they stopped and carefully put away their wings.
"This feathered wing is really a good thing; I'll rely on it to escape in the future," Li Rui said.
"Keep it; it will definitely come in handy later!" Lightning Weasel and Old Monster exclaimed happily. At that moment, they realized their stomachs were growling, and they were already starving.
Seeing this, Li Rui also felt hungry; it had been nearly a day since he last ate.
"You're hungry, right? Let's go get something to eat."
"Yes, I've been starving for a long time," Old Monster nodded.
"Lightning Weasel, with your body like this, how can you have such a big appetite? Can you eat a little less?" Li Rui questioned.
"A beast is made of iron, and food is steel; if you skip a meal, you'll feel uneasy," Lightning Weasel said with wide eyes, looking serious.
They arrived at a forest where Li Rui climbed up a large tree. He used True Qi to strike the trunk with his palm, causing all the fruits to fall to the ground, nearly burying Lightning Weasel and Old Monster beside him. Before Li Rui could jump down, the ground was already empty except for a round-bellied monkey.
The three of them lay on the ground playing when suddenly Lightning Weasel and Old Monster's expressions turned grim.
