Once seated, Su Fu smiled warmly at everyone: “Don’t worry, why would I lie to you?”
Before she finished, she flicked her wrist with one hand.
The next moment, a peach appeared out of thin air in her palm.
The peach’s color was rich, surrounded by a golden halo.
Wisps of auspicious clouds swirled around it, with a lingering mist that refused to dissipate.
At the same time, a strong, intoxicating fragrance filled the air, enchanting anyone who smelled it.
If this wasn’t the Nine-Thousand-Year Peach, then what was?
Excitement and greed couldn’t be hidden from the three generals’ eyes; their breaths grew heavier.
The Great Fairy had truly not deceived them—the peach was really in her hands.
Luckily, they hadn’t acted rashly, or else they would have missed out on the peach.
But it made sense—the Great Fairy had no choice.
Without the peach, today she would have been utterly disgraced.
General Yuan Yang suppressed the threatening look he had earlier, replacing it with a smile: “It seems we have misunderstood the Great Fairy. Truly, you keep your word—very admirable.”
“Since that’s the case,” General Tuohuo forced a calm expression, eagerly rubbing his hands together, his Adam’s apple bobbing as he said, “shall we enjoy the Nine-Thousand-Year Peach then?”
Su Fu smiled and said, “Naturally.”
Before she finished speaking, she waved her wrist lightly.
The peach floated gently and landed in a glazed glass plate placed at the center of the four.
The plate slowly spun, and the golden light around the peach shimmered brilliantly.
The auspicious clouds danced ethereally, breathtaking in their beauty.
Up close, the peach’s fragrance intensified, intoxicating the mind and spirit.
Unconsciously, everyone inhaled deeply, as if wanting to draw the peach itself into their lungs.
Their eyes seemed glued to the peach, unable to look away—this was the power of a mature Nine-Thousand-Year Peach.
“Since that’s the case,” Su Fu raised her cup and looked at everyone, “how about we drink together, then share the peach?”
The three generals quickly raised their cups in response, smiling: “Agreed!”
Their thoughts diverged, but they locked eyes and drank in unison.
Yet, before anyone could put down their cup, an unexpected event occurred.
The peach suddenly lifted from the glass plate and flew straight toward General Tuohuo!
Tuohuo froze for a moment, instinctively reaching out to catch it.
Then, he looked at Su Fu and saw her meaningfully tap her own cup, raising an eyebrow.
Tuohuo’s heart raced with excitement.
The Great Fairy’s implication was clear—she wanted to cooperate with him.
Of course!
If they could get rid of those two old schemers, Gu Yan Feng and Yuan Yang, then it would be just him and the Great Fairy dividing the peach.
‘If only the two of them remained… Hehe, eating a little more wouldn’t be a problem, right?’
He’d known the Great Fairy was stalling until now because she had a plan.
But never had he imagined she’d choose him as her partner!
Well, among the three, he was the most straightforward and the strongest.
The Great Fairy really had an eye for talent!
Given this, the Great Fairy must have prepared well and had no time to hesitate.
This partnership?
He accepted it!
Tuohuo flicked his sleeve swiftly.
Like the wind, his movement was sharp and clean.
The peach instantly disappeared into his wide sleeve.
It was unclear how many times he had practiced this in secret—his action was decisive.
Seeing this, Gu Yan Feng and Yuan Yang immediately slammed the table, faces dark as thunder, shouting angrily:
“Tuohuo! How dare you try to monopolize the peach!”
Without another word, the two attacked.
Gu Yan Feng summoned a silver-white stream of water that quickly condensed into a Waterflow Sword, stabbing straight at Tuohuo.
Yuan Yang waved his hand, producing a Sunshining Spear shining with solar radiance, the scorching heat sweeping over the stage.
“Well played!” Tuohuo roared, suddenly producing a Fire Ring in his hand, shaking it fiercely.
“Fire Ring Shockwave!”
“Boom!”
A deafening sonic blast accompanied by scorching flames swept toward the two.
Gu Yan Feng calmly raised a wall of water that met the fiery shockwave, the clashing of water and fire producing thick white steam.
Taking advantage of the moment, Yuan Yang charged forward.
The Sunshining Spear, blazing with destructive heat, pierced through the mist in a sudden strike.
Tuohuo hastily raised his Fire Ring to meet the spear with a sharp clang.
Sparks flew in all directions.
The three’s moves were lightning-fast, leaving afterimages across the stage.
“Boom!”
Another loud explosion shook the stage as Tuohuo was knocked back several steps, sweat beading on his forehead.
Gu Yan Feng’s Tide Domain combined with Yuan Yang’s Golden Crow Wings, making it impossible for Tuohuo to hold his ground.
Seeing the situation worsen, Tuohuo looked desperately at Su Fu and shouted, “Why aren’t you moving? If this goes on, I’m going to lose!”
Before Su Fu could respond, the battlefield shifted abruptly.
Gu Yan Feng’s Mirror of Water unfurled in the air, distorting light and blurring Tuohuo’s perception.
At the same time, Yuan Yang’s Golden Crow Wings flashed as his Sunshining Spear, like a bolt of golden lightning, thrust toward Tuohuo’s chest.
Tuohuo tried to block, but Gu Yan Feng came at him from the side, leaving no chance to dodge.
He was hit hard in the shoulder, staggering back in pain, nearly dropping his Fire Ring.
Even someone as dull as Tuohuo sensed something was wrong now.
His eyes widened in shock: “You two were cooperating all along?! When?”
Naturally, they didn’t answer.
Gu Yan Feng suddenly raised his hand, commanding the river waters to form a silver-blue River Dragon that roared as it lunged at Tuohuo.
“Give up the peach!”
Though he shouted peach, in his heart he was thinking the smartest move was to take out Tuohuo first.
In fact, during their shared drink of the Jade Nectar and Qiong Brew, he had already sent a covert signal to Yuan Yang, inviting cooperation.
Yuelun Yuan’s family’s transformation techniques were no shallow shape-shifting.
They inherited the original skills of the form, and Yuelun Yuan had mastered it to the highest level.
So, as the “General of the Heavenly River,” he could control this celestial water to transmit messages.
Why choose Yuan Yang?
Simple—Yuan Yang was the strongest present and hard to eliminate with a sneak attack.
Better to start with the easiest target, so he teamed up with Yuan Yang to take out Tuohuo.
Luckily, Su Fu thought the same way.
Though it was a mystery how Su Fu managed to let the peach fly toward Tuohuo without raising suspicion, Tuohuo was now speechless and right where they wanted him.
First, get rid of the weakest!
The River Dragon clashed with Tuohuo’s Fire Ring, producing a thunderous explosion.
Yuan Yang seized the opportunity, appearing suddenly beside Tuohuo, his Sunshining Spear stabbing like lightning toward his throat.
Tuohuo dodged hastily but was ensnared by Gu Yan Feng’s water flow binding his feet, making movement difficult.
At this critical moment, Su Fu’s voice rang out, puzzled: “General Tuohuo, you shouldn’t be saying things you can’t back up.”
“Why would I help you? You broke our agreement by trying to steal the peach for yourself.”
Her face was full of righteous indignation, eyes flashing with the anger and grievance of betrayal.
“I clearly said the four of us would share the peach equally, but you’re too greedy, trying to take it all! I advise you to hand the peach over quickly!”
Hearing this, Tuohuo finally realized the trap—he’d been played by all three!
He opened his mouth to argue but it was too late.
Yuan Yang struck decisively: “Golden Crow Burns the Sky!”
He roared, and behind him appeared a golden giant bird’s shadow, its wings spreading wide enough to block the sky.
The Golden Crow became the sun itself, radiating dazzling light and scorching heat that surged toward Tuohuo.
Gu Yan Feng transformed his water sword into a water chain that bound Tuohuo’s arms, preventing any escape.
When had the three formed this encirclement?
Tuohuo was trapped in the center, unable to advance or retreat.
His Fire Ring barrier was at full power, colliding with the crow’s light, bursting into blinding brilliance.
Just then, a Golden Cudgel appeared in Su Fu’s hand, its light blazing fiercely.
Seizing the moment the barrier shattered, she surged toward Tuohuo.
“Boom!”
Almost simultaneously, a tremendous roar shook the entire stage.
Tuohuo’s agonized scream echoed then abruptly stopped.
He crashed heavily to the ground, a horrifying hole in his chest, blood gushing like a spring.
“Y-You… actually…” Tuohuo snarled weakly at them, eyes full of anger and unwillingness.
The Golden Cudgel and the silver spear pierced through him simultaneously, annihilating his life force.
Only now did he realize this had been a trap from the start.
From the moment the peach flew toward him, they had decided to kill him.
Fewer people to share the peach meant a larger portion for the survivors—who cared about the truth?
After killing Tuohuo, the three stood facing each other cautiously, each wary.
After all, who knew who would be the next “Tuohuo”?
At this moment, Yuan Yang smiled at Su Fu: “Truly worthy of being the Great Fairy—your treasures are endless, and your divine artifacts remarkable.”
He glanced pointedly at the Golden Cudgel Su Fu had just wielded.
Su Fu responded calmly, “Not as powerful as General Yuan Yang’s divine strength. I can only rely on external tools.”
If this were the original Great Fairy, she would have understood Yuan Yang’s hint and immediately joined forces with him to eliminate Gu Yan Feng.
Yuan Yang’s words were not really about artifacts—they were an unspoken suggestion: alliance.
Among the three, Yuan Yang was undoubtedly the strongest, and the Great Fairy was responsible for cultivating the peach.
There might even be a second peach in the future.
If so, it made sense to eliminate Gu Yan Feng and split between two.
But unfortunately, this was Su Fu, not the true Great Fairy.
If she really took out Gu Yan Feng, no one could defeat Yuan Yang afterward.
Moreover, she didn’t have the Great Fairy’s abundant divine power; she’d be exposed if the fight dragged on.
Yuelun Yuan was the same.
Though he could imitate Gu Yan Feng’s divine technique, its actual power fell far short.
Yuan Yang was so focused on Tuohuo and the peach that he hadn’t yet noticed the odd cooperation between the other two.
While their thoughts diverged, suddenly the sound of water rushing filled the air.
“Splash—”
Yuan Yang’s expression changed as the waters of Yaochi surged upward, transforming into a towering River Dragon that charged toward the stage.
He glared at Gu Yan Feng, who was controlling the waters, attempting to seize the fallen peach.
Yuan Yang immediately abandoned caution and dashed in, “Don’t even think about it!”
He had only one thought—the peach must not fall into their hands.
But as soon as he entered the water—
Yuelun Yuan looked at Su Fu, signaling her to act.
Clearly, he was creating the perfect moment for her devastating strike.
Su Fu immediately seized the opportunity: “Roaring Thunder!”
In an instant, the entire River Dragon was enveloped by lightning, transforming into a Thunder Dragon that trapped Yuan Yang firmly.
The moment Yuan Yang touched the peach, he was paralyzed by the electric shock.
He knew it was bad!
But it was too late.
“Six Ding Divine Fire!”
Godfire rapidly ignited, evaporating the River Dragon and creating vast clouds of superheated steam.
Yuan Yang was trapped in the center, his body burning bright red.
His Golden Crow Wings were singed black by the lightning fire.
“Wind Fire Wheels!”
The Moon Wheel spun swiftly into the heart of the steam.
In Yuan Yang’s disbelief—
“Boom!”
A deafening explosion echoed as the steam was compressed into dazzling fireworks.
The blast’s shockwave radiated outward, shattering everything on the stage.
When the dust settled…
Su Fu and Yuelun Yuan stood face to face.
Their eyes locked, tensions ready to explode.
