CHAPTER 53: CHAPTER 53: XIAO ZI DESERVES CREDIT TOO—LET’S EAT TOGETHER!

In just a moment, the first attack echelon arranged by the Qin Army was completely wiped out.

These were all extraordinary beings!

Although there were only a dozen of them, for the small Qin Army in Dakun City, it was already a crippling blow.

"Retreat! Retreat!"

"The plan has failed, subsequent troops retreat in an orderly manner!"

Suddenly, urgent voices came through the earphones.

Orders received.

The second attack echelon in the rear immediately halted their charge, using the cover of the forests to retreat down the mountain.

In the air, the remaining two helicopters quickly emptied their missile pods, then swiftly ascended, exiting the battlefield, and turned to fly away into the distance.

Dakun City, Command Center.

Just now, in the video footage, Thunder Tiger displayed incredible power, thunder resonating as life was continuously reaped.

Knowing that the situation was untenable, the military could only order a retreat.

Upon seeing the remaining troops withdraw in an orderly fashion, everyone present collectively breathed a sigh of relief.

"Who would have thought that Thunder Tiger’s strength was so terrifying!"

"It seems we’ve underestimated him!"

The bespectacled officer, his face filled with resentment, slammed the table hard.

Originally, he thought this operation was a sure thing.

Capturing Thunder Tiger and obtaining the Profound Dragon Fruit would kill two birds with one stone!

After all, the extraordinary beings they dispatched this time were the top elites... yet they still underestimated this Thunder Tiger.

"Our military district has suffered heavy losses this time!"

The slender officer said through gritted teeth, his expression gloomy.

The main loss was the extraordinary beings!

These individuals were the treasures of the military district, with limitless potential, the future hope of Dakun City.

Not to mention losing a dozen, even losing just one would be painful for a long time!

"This Thunder Tiger is beyond what we in Dakun City can handle!"

"I will report this matter and hand it over to higher-ups for handling."

The leading officer, slumped powerlessly in his chair, sighed deeply.

Watching the silhouettes gradually retreat and disappear into the forests, Jiang Che didn’t pursue.

After all, the Profound Dragon Fruit was already in hand.

Their objective for this trip had already been achieved, better not to complicate matters.

As the smoke cleared, both humans and beasts retreated in defeat.

Nangong Luo finally let go of the tension that had been holding him.

His side became the ultimate winners!

Thinking of his elder brother’s earlier appearance, slaughtering the enemy like the arrival of the Thunder God.

Nangong Luo was immensely inspired.

Elder brother is truly invincible!

As the battle ended, Jiang Che quickly dissipated the thunder surrounding him, the Spiritual Power Shield withdrew, disengaging the fusion state.

Buzz!

The purple battle pattern on his neck suddenly glowed, and Little Purple reappeared, landing on Jiang Che’s head.

"Chirp!"

Little Purple looked very weak and listless at the moment.

This time Jiang Che unleashed his full power, frantically mobilizing the spiritual power within him, putting Little Purple under great pressure, consuming too much.

"Roar!"

With a light roar to Nangong Luo, Jiang Che took large strides down the mountain.

Nangong Luo reacted and quickly followed.

This place was extremely exposed, the high mountaintop already visible to humans.

The two tigers and the beast naturally wouldn’t stay for long, quickly blending into the forests.

After leaving Taixu Mountain, they quickly shook off the surveillance of human biomimetic drones, stopping in a valley.

Standing under a large-canopied willow tree.

Its lush and dense willow leaves blocked the sky completely.

Jiang Che handed the Profound Dragon Fruit, which was slung on his back, to Nangong Luo beside him.

The fruit’s surface flashed with a purple-golden glow, and the Profound Dragon Fruit, under its own spiritual power, slowly floated over.

Nangong Luo immediately activated the golden spiritual power within her, tendrils swirling out, curling up the Profound Dragon Fruit and moving it in front of her.

Looking at this purple fruit, Nangong Luo’s gaze gradually heated up.

With the medicinal power of the Profound Dragon Fruit, she could possibly break through to the mid-second rank, getting one step closer to her elder brother’s strength.

Thinking of this, Nangong Luo couldn’t help but glance at Jiang Che, filled with gratitude.

This Profound Dragon Fruit was snatched by her elder brother at the risk of his life from both the beasts and humans.

This time, she merely acted as a guide, the rest depended on her elder brother.

If it weren’t for knowing her elder brother’s outstanding talent, constantly growing stronger even in his sleep, Nangong Luo would feel unworthy of accepting this Profound Dragon Fruit.

"Only in the future, can I repay him!"

Nangong Luo knew she was currently weak and unable to repay her elder brother, she could only hope for the future.

"Third sister does have a good heart! Always remembering to repay kindness, but as for repayment, improving your cultivation is the best way to repay your elder brother!"

Watching the deeply moved Nangong Luo, Jiang Che smiled inwardly.

The Profound Dragon Fruit, its crystalline appearance, looked extremely enticing.

Though the fragrance was restrained, it still made Nangong Luo salivate.

Just as she was about to swallow it whole, Nangong Luo noticed Little Purple perched on Jiang Che’s head, looking at her enviously.

She felt a bit embarrassed.

This time, being able to obtain the Profound Dragon Fruit, Little Purple also played a significant role.

Without the fusion of Little Purple and her elder brother, they might not have been able to destroy the human attack so swiftly, making the opposing side retreat knowing their limits.

Moreover, Little Purple also needed spirit fruits to grow...

Nangong Luo then made a decision, golden light gathering on her body, a golden light blade the length of a finger flashed through the air.

The Profound Dragon Fruit was instantly sliced off a piece, revealing the purplish fruit flesh, the restrained spiritual qi immediately leaking out, a rich and enticing aroma quickly spreading through the forest.

Thereafter, Nangong Luo handed it to Little Purple.

"Chirp!"

Little Purple’s large, watery eyes lit up at once, filled with delight, chirping affectionately at Nangong Luo.

"Chirp chirp!"

Little Purple was overjoyed, accepting the piece of Profound Dragon Fruit, eagerly munching away happily.

The first bite brought endless flavor, Little Purple closed his eyes with a smile, filled with joy.

Immediately, in a few bites, the piece of fruit was devoured clean.

Buzz!

As the medicinal power of the Profound Dragon Fruit took effect, surging spiritual qi transformed into streams of spiritual power, coursing through Little Purple’s body, continuously enhancing its cultivation.

The previously listless Little Purple appeared as if injected with a stimulant, instantly invigorated.

A wisp, two wisps... countless wisps of purple light quickly leapt from the scale armor, more and more intense, wrapping Little Purple entirely within.

Meanwhile, Nangong Luo did not hesitate any longer and swallowed the remaining Profound Dragon Fruit in one gulp.

The Profound Dragon Fruit melted upon entry, first a burst of sweet and sour sensation washed over, filling her entire mouth, intensely stimulating Nangong Luo’s taste buds.

Then, a massive wave of medicinal power surged into her body, converting into substantial spiritual qi, under the cultivation technique’s influence, gathering into a river of spiritual power, wildly flowing through her meridians.

A faint gold light appeared on Nangong Luo’s body, from her meridians came the sounds like spiritual rivers flowing, the aura she exuded was gradually rising.

The tiger and the beast were digesting the Profound Dragon Fruit, with Little Purple still atop his head.

Not wanting to disturb them, Jiang Che quietly stayed in place.

"I wonder if Little Purple and Third Sister can make a breakthrough!"
