"Spirit-melting fruit tree!"
Ling Tian was also shocked. There was a description of this kind of spiritual plant in the Spiritual Plant Record. It was a second-level spiritual tree. It took ten years to bloom, ten years to bear fruit, and ten years to mature. Each round of maturity produced ten fruits. Moreover, the mature fruit was the main ingredient for refining the Rong Ling Pill, which was a necessity for improving cultivation during the Foundation Establishment Period.
In addition to making pills, the Rongling Fruit can also be taken directly to increase spiritual power without any side effects. It can be eaten by people who have reached the ninth level of Qi Refining and above. However, the effect will be much worse than taking pills, so generally no one would be stupid enough to swallow it directly.
"Good stuff, it seems I have to take action."
Jiang Rui walked over to the Rongling Fruit Tree and caressed the few leaves with great excitement, as if he were looking at a truly rare treasure. However, the bare branches made him feel distressed. These leaves were also rare treasures. It was a waste of natural resources to be destroyed by these ordinary people.
"If it weren't for the fact that you're still useful, I'd have slaughtered you just for swallowing so many leaves. Humph, you two, move the spirit tree to my cave now and take good care of it. If it gets damaged in the slightest, I'll kill you.
And you, come find me tomorrow and take me to where I found this tree. Don't even think about escaping. You know the consequences. Let's go."
“Swoosh~”
At this moment, a beam of azure flame shot towards Jiang Rui at high speed, and was about to hit him, but he didn't expect that he would pinch his fingers and condense the sword to split the fireball into two halves. With a bang, two small pits half a meter deep appeared a few meters behind him, with a wisp of burnt smoke coming out of them.
This sudden situation scared the people from the Federation and the Dragon Gang.
"You're playing tricks, come out now."
Jiang Rui pretended to be calm, gathered the sword in his hand, and swung it suddenly towards the darkness. The stone house collapsed, and a figure fell from the sky and stood steadily in front of Lei Zeyu and the others.
"Boss!"
Lei Zeyu was overjoyed; Ling Tian's performance ignited his hope.
Ling Tian nodded without saying anything more, and turned to stare at Jiang Rui in the distance, "I'm also interested in this Rongling Fruit Tree. How about giving it to me, fellow Daoist, for the sake of face?"
Jiang Rui narrowed his eyes, a murderous intent flashing across his face. Then, with a harmless look, he smiled and said, "That's great! I thought I was the only immortal cultivator on Earth, but I didn't expect there would be such a fellow cultivator like you. My cultivation journey won't be so lonely in the future. Besides, with a companion, we can discuss our cultivation experiences better and verify them together. We're sure to gain a lot."
"Haha, how about you let me have this Rongling Fruit Tree first, then we can discuss the follow-up matters?"
Ling Tian was ready to strike while speaking. He didn't believe that the other party would give up this Rongling Fruit. Even a Jindan stage cultivator would not miss such a precious thing.
"Okay, as a token of my appreciation, I will give it to you. Please step back, fellow Taoist."
Jiang Rui made a gesture of invitation and then took a few steps back to reassure Ling Tian, but the more he did this, the more cautious Ling Tian became.
Ling Tian walked to the Rongling Fruit Tree with extreme caution, pretending to show an excited and intoxicated expression, and involuntarily revealed a flaw to Jiang Rui behind him.
Looking at Ling Tian who was immersed in excitement, Jiang Rui raised the corner of his mouth in a very strange way, secretly accumulating the maximum spiritual power in order to kill him with one blow.
"Right now."
Jiang Rui suddenly launched an attack, the strength of which was several times greater than what he had demonstrated before. Just when the sword light was about to hit Ling Tian, Ling Tian, who had been on high alert, had already made a countermeasure.
"Shield Technique, Light Body Technique."
When the two techniques were performed at the same time, Jiang Rui's fierce attack just hit the shield. The sour cutting sound was heard in less than a few seconds, and the entire shield was cut in half. At the moment the shield was broken, Ling Tian had already used the light body technique to escape from danger, and the sword light continued to advance like a hot knife through butter. Several members of the Stone Gang who could not dodge in time became dead souls under the sword, and several square meters in the distance were bombarded into ruins.
Jiang Rui was very surprised that the attack failed. He had absolute confidence in his previous attack, but he didn't expect that the opponent would dodge it. Moreover, the number of spells mastered by Ling Tian exceeded his imagination. He had only learned the sword-condensing technique.
At this moment, he was even more excited. As long as he killed Ling Tian, he could get all of this.
"That attack just now has already consumed a lot of my spiritual power. I can only cast it twice at most. However, the opponent cast two spells in a row, so it should have consumed more than me. Let's test it again and decide the outcome with one last try."
"Since you don't want to drink my toast, don't blame me."
Jiang Rui was gathering spiritual energy, and his clothes were rustling. He looked extremely powerful.
"You guys disperse."
Seeing this, Ling Tian did not dare to be arrogant. He shouted angrily and cast a shield spell again to block in front of him. Moreover, spiritual power was continuously supplied into it, and the light of the shield was even more dazzling.
Jiang Rui on the opposite side was delighted. He knew that the spiritual power consumed by Ling Tian's shield was definitely extraordinary, so his plan was implemented.
"Behead him!"
Jiang Rui pretended to roar in anger, and at the moment of attack, his spiritual power was recovered. Although the sword light that slashed forward was mighty, its power was less than one tenth of the original.
"Bang~"
There was a deafening roar, and dust billowed all around. Ling Tian, who was at the center, looked at the shield in front of him and saw no signs of cracks, feeling a little puzzled.
"Why is the attack power so much less? Is it because of lack of spiritual power or is there some other conspiracy?"
The wind blew past, dispersing the dust. Looking at Ling Tian, who was still holding up his shield, Jiang Rui suddenly burst into laughter. "Hahaha, I was only feinting an attack, but you were desperately outputting spiritual power to defend yourself. We're both on the fourth floor. How much spiritual power do you have left? This blow will send you to the King of Hell."
"Look at the sword!"
Jiang Rui's sword strike was truly his strongest attack. When the sword light came out, his face turned pale, which showed that the energy consumption was huge. He was full of confidence in this attack. Even if it was a fifth-level attack, he dared to challenge it, not to mention Ling Tian, who was at the fourth level.
It’s a pity that he looked at Ling Tian with the eyes of an ordinary cultivator, which meant that he was destined to lose this battle.
A huge shock wave splashed out, blowing sand and rocks into the air and causing dust to roll in all directions.
Jiang Rui's attack was indeed powerful. It caused a crack in Ling Tian's shield as soon as it hit him. However, Ling Tian's space continuously supplied him with spiritual power, which allowed him to hold his ground against the sword light.
After a moment, the sword light was unable to break through Ling Tian's shield and dissipated in the sky and earth, and Ling Tian's shield also cracked and shattered in the next moment.
"Hahahaha…it's all me…what?"
"Fireball, go!"
