In the eyes of the Great Sage, the chances of escaping with the Devil Fruit were not high.
It was better to eat the Devil Fruit directly. This way, he would be able to obtain the special ability of the Devil Fruit. Perhaps his strength would skyrocket and he would be able to fight against the woman in the silver windbreaker.
The corners of the Great Sage's mouth rose slightly, thinking that his idea was not bad.
Of course, after eating the Devil Fruit, he would still need some time to refine it. It would depend on whether the Great Sage could buy him time.
The woman in the silver windbreaker behind him was called the Silver Snake Witch. Her strength was unparalleled, and she was an existence that could not be provoked.
Before the Great Sage obtained the special ability, he did not even have the confidence to fight against the Silver Snake Witch.
"Silver Snake Witch, save it. I've already eaten the Devil Fruit."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Life-Seizing Great Sage bit down. A crunching sound rang out, and Great Sage Heavenseizing Great Sage's jaw dropped. He hadn't bitten down on the devil fruit, but on the air!
"Hmm?"
The Great Sage was stunned. His eyes were spitting fire, and his heart was enraged to the extreme!
The food in his mouth actually flew away. The Great Sage was furious. His divine sense swept out, and suddenly his face changed as if he had seen a ghost.
"You … It's actually you!"
Scared out of his wits, Great Sage Lifeseizer sent his divine will out to find a handsome young man in a white robe with black hair, flanked by a host of fiend-devils. It was none other than Ye Qing.
Seeing the Devil Fruit, Ye Qing could no longer remain calm and tried to snatch it.
If it was only a Devil Crystal, Ye Qing would not be interested. But the Devil Fruit that could provide special abilities was different. Even Ye Qing was moved.
"Great Sage, Great Sage, how much are you selling your Devil Fruit for?"
Ye Qing stepped on the void and arrived in front of the Great Sage in an instant. There was no need to say more about the profoundness of the Void Steps.
The Great Sage's body trembled, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead. Selling the Devil Fruit was impossible. No matter how much money was offered, he wouldn't sell it.
However, there was a saying that an elbow could not win against a thigh. Ye Qing directly made a move, condensed an illusory arm, and took away his Devil Fruit. What else could he say?
The Great Sage felt helpless in the face of such power, and could only curse himself for being inferior.
"Hey, Great Sage, are you selling your Devil Fruit or not?
If you don't say anything, I'll take it that you're giving it to me for free. "
Ye Qing said in a serious tone. The mouths of his underlings twitched. They had no choice but to admit defeat. It was clearly snatching the Devil Fruit, yet he made it sound so dignified!
"I …"
The Life-Seizing Great Sage was speechless. Even if he didn't want to sell it, the devil fruit was already in Ye Qing's hands. What could he do?
"Hurry up, don't dilly-dally. Name a price. I, Ye Qing, never take advantage of others!"
Ye Qing said in a serious tone, and his underlings couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. In terms of shamelessness, there were only a handful of people in the world who could compare to Ye Qing.
"I …"
Just as the Life-Seizing Great Sage was about to say something, Ye Qing rudely interrupted him and tossed him a storage ring.
"See if it's enough." Ye Qing said indifferently.
The Great Sage caught the storage ring with a bitter face. There was no other way. Even if he didn't want to sell the Devil Fruit, he had to sell it now.
Without sufficient strength, it was normal for things like buying and selling by force to happen.
With a heart full of bitterness and unwillingness, the Great Sage opened the storage ring Ye Qing gave him.
With the mentality that something was better than nothing, the Great Sage glanced at the inventory in the storage ring. Suddenly, he was startled and his eyes widened!
"Holy shit!"
The Great Sage cried out in alarm, the shock in his heart indescribable. Ye Qing was very generous. The storage ring he threw out contained 10,000 demon crystals.
Most of the devil crystals were of high quality, and the reward Ye Qing had given to the Great Sage was a huge sum. In fact, even if the Great Sage took the devil fruits to the auction house, he probably wouldn't be able to sell them for ten thousand devil crystals.
"Senior Brother Ye, you … you didn't make a mistake, right?
Great Sage Lifeseizer almost couldn't believe his eyes. "You're giving me these fiend-crystals?"
"What nonsense are you spouting?
Just take it. Isn't it just 10,000 demon crystals?
Why are you so scared?
You've never seen the world. "
Ye Qing stood with his hands behind his back, a calm expression on his face. The one ton of demon crystals from the five-colored treasure chest, plus the demon crystals from the ore vein, was an astronomical figure.
Ye Qing didn't care about a mere 10,000 demon crystals. Right now, he was more interested in the Devil Fruit.
"Many thanks!
Many thanks for Senior Brother Ye's generosity! "
The Great Sage was wild with joy. He bowed to Ye Qing, his heart filled with joy.
The Devil Fruit itself was a hot potato. The Great Sage wasn't strong enough, so he had to worry about losing his life while holding it.
Now that he sold the Devil Fruit and obtained 10,000 demon crystals, the Great Sage could be considered to have made a profit.
"I, Ye Qing, have never liked to take advantage of others. Great Sage, now that the transaction is complete, the Devil Fruit is my property. You don't have any objections, right?" Ye Qing said calmly.
"No objections, of course I don't have any objections. Since the transaction is complete, then Senior Brother Ye, I'll take my leave first."
The Great Sage chuckled. As soon as his voice fell, he rushed into the distance.
The Great Sage was well aware of the so-called 'treasuring a jade ring becomes a crime' principle. Whether it was the Devil Fruit or the 10,000 demon crystals, they were all precious treasures.
If he had 10,000 demon crystals on him, it would definitely attract the envy of others. It would be better for him to find a place to go into seclusion and slowly refine the demon crystals.
The Great Sage quickly flew away, displaying his maximum speed. However, not long after the Great Sage ran, a silver arc of lightning flashed in the sky, splitting the heavens. It carried an indomitable momentum as it shot over, piercing through the body of the Great Sage!
The speed of the silver arc of lightning was too fast. It was so fast that the Great Sage couldn't react in time. With a single strike, he was heavily injured!
The Great Sage screamed again and again. The silver arc of lightning was too powerful. It was released by the Silver Snake Sorceress behind him.
The Great Sage was already very careful, but he was still hit. His life was in danger. Compared to the Silver Snake Sorceress, his strength was on a completely different level.
"Great Sage, I've said it before. Those who oppose me, the Silver Snake Sorceress, will not have a good ending!"
In the sky, a silver arc of lightning shot over. It was the Silver Snake Sorceress. Her eyes were filled with contempt, and she exuded an evil aura.
"Silver Snake Sorceress, we're all from the same sect. Please let me go!"
The Great Sage was terrified. He urged his demonic power to heal himself as he fled.
"Is that so?
Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with you! "
The Silver Snake Sorceress sneered. Her jade-like hand shot out, releasing a silver radiance that pierced through the void and grabbed at the Great Sage.
In the next moment, her arm directly pierced through the Great Sage's body, leaving no room for escape.
The Life-Seizing Great Sage's anguished wails echoed through the air. His fleshly body had been pierced by the Silver Snake Sorceress, and his life force was rapidly draining away. There was no way he could be reborn. He was not the Azure Ape Grand Sage, nor did he have the Azure Ape Demon Body. Once his fleshly body was destroyed, his soul would have to leave his body!
And a lonely soul would never be able to block the Silver Snake Sorceress' attack.
