Chapter 2774
If the sword spirit of the Dragon Cutting Sword, held by Kai, had not suffered damage, Zhong Li, the sword spirit, would have been able to push the old woman back without Kai needing to exert his control over the Dragon Cutting Sword!
With Kai’s growing strength, the Dragon Cutting Sword, infused with the divine Dragon’s energy, was also gaining power!
Due to the injuries sustained by Sword Spirit Zhong Li, he was unable to separate from the Zhan Long Sword. To restore him, Kai needed to visit the Weaponry Refining Sect and reforge the Zhan Long Sword in the Sword Washing Pool!
Once Sword Spirit Zhong Li was freed from the Dragon Cutting Sword, his strength would undoubtedly soar to new heights…
“Leave immediately; I cannot kill you…”
Kai coldly addressed Shi Tieqiao and the old crone!
In truth, Kai had no desire to engage in a deadly feud with the Flying Heavenly Clan. With numerous enemies already in the Celestial Realm, he wasn’t looking to add more to his plate!
If Kai had truly wanted to eliminate Shi Tieqiao, he would have done so at the outset, and the old woman would have been an easy target for his sword!
“Kid, although I don’t know who you are, your ability to effortlessly defeat our fifth-rank cultivator at the Combined Body Realm shows that your martial arts are anything but ordinary.”
“This Heavenly Thunder Tree is shielded by lightning, so you won’t be able to harvest the Heavenly Thunder Fruits alone. If we join forces, we might stand a chance!”
“If you agree, we can put our past grievances behind us, and the Flying Heaven Clan would owe you a favor. In the future, we will be obligated to assist you!”
Shi Tieqiao realized he couldn’t overpower Kai, so he opted to seek a peaceful resolution!
This way, even if they managed to retrieve a few Heavenly Thunder Fruits, they could mitigate the loss of the Pterodactyl!
“Mr. Chen, the members of the Flying Heaven Clan are notorious for their deceit. You shouldn’t trust them so readily!”
Da Jie whispered to Kai!
Of course, Kai was aware that Shi Tieqiao was untrustworthy; otherwise, he wouldn’t have tricked Ning Cai Chen to sneak in!
However, Kai was unconcerned about Shi Tieqiao’s dishonesty. He intended to use his strategy to delay Shi Tieqiao and the others, buying time against Ning Cai Chen!
Kai understood that his primary adversary was the Ning family. Despite the ten Heavenly Thunder Fruits on the tree, it was heavily protected by lightning. Approaching it would certainly expose him to its powerful electric force!
Nevertheless, Kai’s body was unique. Each time he advanced, he endured thunderstorms, making him exceptionally resilient. Thus, he should be capable of withstanding the lightning on this Heavenly Thunder Tree!
However, harvesting all ten Heavenly Thunder Fruits in one go would require time, and there was no guarantee that the Ning Clan would allow him that luxury!
Once Ning Cai Chen finished off the Bloodthirsty Thunder Eagle of the Eighth Grade of the Harmony Realm, he would undoubtedly come into the cave. If he spotted Kai attempting to pick the Heavenly Thunder Fruits, he would surely attack!
Even though Kai had just reached the second rank of the Harmony Realm, he was uncertain about confronting Ning Cai Chen, who was at the eighth rank, especially while also contending with the Heavenly Thunder Tree’s lightning!
“Alright, I agree to share the Heavenly Thunder Fruits, but you must do something for me!”
Kai declared!
“What is it?” Shi Tieqiao inquired!
“You need to go outside the cave and find a way to stall the Ning family. Don’t let them enter!”
“The longer you can keep them busy, the more Heavenly Thunder Fruits I can collect!”
Kai explained!
“What? You plan to pick the Heavenly Thunder Fruits on your own? Are you joking? Aren’t you afraid of the lightning?”
The old woman exclaimed in disbelief, astonished that Kai intended to let them go outside to hold off the Ning Clan while he harvested the Heavenly Thunder Fruits by himself!
