Chapter 7: The Battle for Supremacy

  Yang Lei didn't expect the white snake to bring back prey, but unexpectedly, as soon as it heard him, it quickly darted outside and in less than two minutes, it brought back two male deer and placed them in front of Yang Lei. Then it spat out a glob of saliva, seemingly saying, "The prey is here, you deal with it."

  Since things had developed to this point, Yang Lei could only take action, taking out his own sharp dagger and quickly dealing with one of the male deer. He then put it on a fire rack and started roasting it. After about half an hour, the male deer was finally roasted well. Yang Lei cut off a smaller piece of venison and gave it all to the white snake. After eating, the white snake didn't look at Yang Lei again, but instead lay down on the spot, closed its eyes, and fell asleep.

  Yang Lei saw this, and directly put another male deer into the storage ring. This storage ring has a good advantage, it's vacuum inside, and doesn't worry about food spoilage, no matter how long it's stored.

  These two days, Yang Lei has been living a comfortable life. Whenever he wants to eat something, the white snake brings him prey, and he focuses on studying the Wind Blade Seven Kills. Each of the seven kills is practiced by Yang Lei until it's extremely familiar, but when combined, they can only reach two kills at most. However, just being able to combine two kills is already quite abnormal, reaching four times the combat power. If he could practice to combine four kills, that would mean having sixteen times the combat power, which also means that if he breaks through to the early stage of the Martial Artist layer, he can absolutely contend with mid-stage Martial Artists. If he reaches five kills combined, he can rival late-stage Martial Artists. If he reaches six kills combined, he can rival the Great Perfection realm of Martial Artists. Of course, if he reaches seven kills combined, he can rival a Master.

  Achieving seven kills in one go, this is just a thought, after practicing the combination of kills, Yang Wei only then realized the difficulty of achieving seven kills in one go. As for two kills in one go, Yang Wei had only mastered one type, but there are twenty types of two kills in one go, which shows how great the difficulty is.

  Two kills merge into one, the change is mysterious and subtle. Only when you have fully cultivated yourself can you possibly practice three kills merging into one. This progresses layer by layer, similarly, to practice seven kills merging into one, you must first practice six kills merging into one.

  On the third day at noon, the yin-yang fruit was about to ripen, emitting a fragrance that filled the air and surrounded by spiritual energy. The white snake stared intently at the yin-yang fruit, not moving in the slightest, fearing it would miss its chance. Just then, a crane's cry pierced the clear sky. The white snake heard the sound and suddenly lifted its massive head.

  Looking at the large white crane circling in the air, Yang Lei knew that his chance had come. This large white crane made the White Snake so tense, it must not be an ordinary white crane. Looking at its momentum, it was not inferior to the White Snake at all.

  As expected, the great white crane suddenly swooped down and instantly entwined with the white snake, coming and going, extremely fierce. The destructive power of their energy was astonishing wherever they went.

  Yang Lei was shocked, and the two of them were fighting in a frenzy. He himself had only reached the 9th level of Qi cultivation, and couldn't withstand such intense energy, so he could only keep retreating. In his heart, he thought, "Fight on, fight to the death! It would be best if they both suffered heavy losses, then I can take advantage of the situation. And there's even a chance to kill these two big BOSSes, which are 8th-level peak magical beasts! If I can kill them, how much experience will I gain?" Thinking this, Yang Lei's mouth began to water. Of course, if he could tame one of them, that would be even better.

  After hiding tens of meters away, Yang Lei was no longer affected by the air wave. Looking at the battle between the snake and the crane, it had already reached a white-hot stage. The white snake's body was scratched in many places, scales and bloodstains were everywhere, while the large white crane was also badly injured, with a large patch of feathers fallen off, and no less bloody.

  However, this does not affect the struggle between the two, but instead becomes more and more fierce, with a tendency to fight to the death. Yang Lei is clear in his heart that the snake and the crane are originally arch-enemies, and for the sake of the heavenly spirit fruit, it's even more expected that they would fight to the death. In this way, Yang Lei is greatly relieved, whether both die or one dies and the other is injured, it will be beneficial to himself, perhaps he can really obtain a holy beast?

  It's terrible, the time has come, and the yin-yang fruit is about to mature. That snake and crane are still fighting, which makes Yang Lei extremely anxious, he can't help but want to go up and make them fight even more fiercely。 You know, this yin-yang fruit is a heavenly spiritual fruit, if it's not picked within an hour, it will wither immediately, fall off, and then merge into the mud。

  This snake and crane were also anxious, the yin-yang fruit was ripe, if they didn't eat it immediately, it would be wasted, both of them had opened their spiritual wisdom, so they naturally understood this characteristic of the yin-yang fruit.

  As the spiritual energy around him was fully condensed into those two fruits, these two fruits, that is, the yin and yang fruits, were completely ripe.

  The great white crane, seeing this, disregarded the white snake and flew towards the yin-yang fruit. But the white snake would not let it have its way, suddenly opening its mouth wide and tightly wrapping around the white crane, giving it no chance.

  So entwined, a snake and a crane, you won't let me, I won't let you, neither can get out, both are getting more and more fierce in the fight.

  Five minutes have passed, and both are now at the end of their strength. The aura stirred up by their struggle has long since dissipated, a fact that Yang Lei is well aware of. However, Yang Lei won't make his move just yet. This snake and crane may be at the end of their strength, but he's still no match for them. If he were to intervene now, who knows if they'd put aside their grudge and turn on him instead? That would be a disaster waiting to happen. So for now, patience is still needed.

  As expected, this snake and crane, although already at the end of their strength, still burst forth with a shocking fighting power that absolutely surpassed the late-stage martial artist's combat power.

  Six minutes have passed, and the two are still entangled in a fierce battle. The white crane's feathers have almost all fallen off, and it is no longer as elegant and agile as when it was flying. One of its legs is also lame, while the white snake is not much better off, with wounds all over its body, its flesh and blood mangled.

  Eight minutes have passed, and now both the snake and the crane are only exhaling without inhaling, lying limp on the ground, staring at each other with wide eyes. It's still you won't let me, I won't let you.

  Yang Lei knew that the opportunity had come, with only seven minutes left before the yin-yang fruit fell. However, Yang Lei was still a bit worried, in case these two guys still had some strength left, then he would be out of luck.

  Another minute passed, and there were only six minutes left before the yin-yang fruit fell. The snake and crane still stared at each other with wide eyes, but their breathing was getting weaker and weaker. Finally, they put down their guard and stepped forward quickly, instantly arriving in front of the two giants.
