To be honest, although Kou Chongxue had personally told him that the Yuan Gang sword qi left in the Lingsha gourd was "difficult to resist under the five heavens", but Shang Xia was using it for the first time after all, and the target was still the existence of two four heavens, and the apprehension in his heart could be imagined.
And it turns out that Shang Xia's worries are indeed not unfounded.
Although Kou Chongxue said that his sword qi was unstoppable under the fifth order, and whether it was Huang Yunxiang or the giant rat, he was indeed defeated under the power of this sword, but Kou Chongxue did not say that the person who took his sword would surely die!
The jade sword condensed by Kou Chongxue's natal Yuan Gang flashed away in mid-air, and the three natal evil lights surrounding Huang Yunxiang's body were extinguished one by one.
Huang Yunxiang, who was originally unable to function his primeval essence due to the injury to his internal organs, was cut open on half of his body under this unstoppable sword, and then fell from mid-air.
However, he really didn't die!
The powerful vitality of the four-fold heavenly warrior allowed him to maintain a clear consciousness after losing his right shoulder and right arm, along with half of his ribcage, most of his lower abdomen and two legs.
And on the verge of extinguishing his vitality, Huang Yunxiang, who was left with only a head, an arm and most of his chest, shouted with all his remaining strength: "Run away!"
A figure rushed out of the deep pit where the thunder fire jujube tree grew, and then flew away into the distance without looking back.
That junior brother Qi has always been very decisive in his choices!
A void power suddenly exploded on Huang Yunxiang's remnants, accompanied by vigorous vitality fluctuations, and a large area of scattered debris spread all over the ground.
Before this person died, he did not forget to blow up the storage items on his body.
It's a pity that the contents are the net worth of an elder fourth-order martial artist in the Holy Land Gate.
At the same time, the last bit of vitality on the elder Changbai Neimen dissipated, and as his body dissolved, it transformed into a strong heaven and earth energy that rose into the sky, turning into a vitality tornado connecting heaven and earth.
It's just that at this time, Shang Xia didn't care about the things in the broken storage items, he didn't even take a look at how many thunder fire dates the fleeing junior brother Qi had picked, but rushed straight to the location where the giant rat fell from mid-air.
The giant rat is also not dead!
Even it was much better than Huang Yunxiang's situation!
That sword also cut through the giant rat's protective spirit, but this giant rat moved its body a little away at the most critical moment, with the help of the invisible and shadowless spirit demon on its body.
Yuan Gang sword qi cut through the void, and the lower body of the giant rat along with its two hind legs were cut off, but the strange beasts were able to continue to survive with their powerful vitality far exceeding that of the warriors!
When Shang Xia rushed in front of the giant rat that had fallen to the ground, he saw that the giant rat was making a big hole in the ground, and even most of his remaining body was about to sink into the ground at this time.
Fortunately, this giant rat had already broken two forelimbs by Huang Yunxiang before, so that it failed to escape in the first place.
And the moment Shang Xia rushed in front of him, the soil on the ground suddenly condensed on its own, turning into several ground thorns and flying over.
Shang Xia's figure did not pause at all, only with the Jade River Sword in his hand, several ground thorns suddenly collapsed and turned into powder.
Obviously, after suffering heavy damage, the strength of this giant rat in the original four heavens was still one out of ten!
Shang Xia soared into the air, the Jade River Sword volleyed into the air, and a seven-wounded sword qi was submerged
The severed giant rat's body, in which completely different polar sword intent burst out in its body, not only stirring up the giant rat's body, but also constantly annihilating its vitality until this strange beast completely fell.
However, even at this time, Shang Xia still did not dare to relax in the slightest.
The moment he put away the Jade River Sword, he immediately sacrificed the Lingsha gourd of the topaz skin again.
After casting the Yuan Gang sword qi left by Kou Chongxue, the jade-colored sword that was originally suspended on the mouth of the gourd looked uncertain at this time, as if it could dissipate at any time.
It's just that the tip of this small sword that was like smoke condensed now, after a while, firmly pointed to the location of the giant rat's corpse.
Unlike after the fall of the Four Heavens Warrior, his own body will dissolve into the energy of heaven and earth because it returns to the origin of heaven and earth.
After the fourth-order strange beasts in the two realms of war were killed, the heaven and earth spirits contained in their bodies could be stripped away, and their corpses would not dissolve in the heaven and earth energy.
When Kou Chongxue improved the Lingsha gourd at the beginning, in addition to leaving a Yuangang sword qi as a means of saving Shang Xia's life, he also improved the function of the spirit gourd itself to find and collect evil.
At this time, the giant rat was dead, but the two heaven and earth spirit demons on its body were still there, and they had been locked by the spirit demon gourd in his hand.
As Shang Xia drove the primeval essence in his body, and aimed the mouth of the spiritual gourd at half of the giant rat's corpse, then an inexplicable attraction came from the gourd.
Immediately afterwards, Shang Xia saw two spiritual demons gradually emerging from the giant rat's corpse, one was a cloud of earthy yellow mist, and the other was originally invisible and shadowless, but at this time it could be roughly seen that it was a transparent object that was constantly changing its shape.
These two spiritual demons were attracted by the spiritual gourd, peeled off the giant rat's body little by little, and gradually flew into the gourd.
As more and more spiritual demons entered, Shang Xia gradually felt that the spiritual gourd in his hand was becoming heavier and heavier.
Until the two heaven and earth spirit demons were stripped from the giant rat's body, at this time, the spirit gourd in Shang Xia's hand was almost a thousand pounds, while the giant rat corpse half-buried in the soil seemed to have lost some characteristics, and the smell of blood in the air became much stronger.
"It's a pity, the meat of the original fourth-order strange beast should also be a great supplement, but no one wants to eat rat meat, right?"
Shang Xia looked at half of the giant rat's body on the way, thinking that his Jinyun box might not be able to hold it, so he could only brush it casually, and a pile of earth and stones surged on its own, completely burying the giant rat's body.
Walking to the position where Huang Yunxiang's body dissolved into heaven and earth, where there were large pieces of broken items scattered on the ground, Shang Xia glanced roughly, and sure enough, he couldn't find many valuable items.
These warriors with backgrounds are different from those scattered people who have no home and call the world home, and they will not carry all their net worth with them.
Even if they fall, the things left behind will be properly disposed of by the sect and disciples.
Turning around and returning to the deep pit where the Thunder Fire Jujube Tree was located, Shang Xia regained the lost Red Star Spear.
It's just that after being hit by a natal cold demon on Huang Yunxiang's body before, Shang Xia had clearly sensed that the primeval essence was not passing smoothly after being injected into the gun body.
Obviously, this high-quality weapon that had been forged for less than a year had been damaged inside its gun body.
This damage is even more difficult to repair than the external damage of the weapon.
Shang Xia had no choice but to continuously inject his own primeval essence into the inside of the gun body for washing,
This is the simplest and most direct way for warriors to repair weapon damage, but the effect is minimal, and it takes time to accumulate to barely see the effect.
Once again entering the deep pit where the thunder fire jujube tree was located, Shang Xia looked at it from a distance and saw that the jujube fruit on the jujube tree was more than half missing.
Fortunately, the thunder fire jujube tree itself has a strange characteristic, that is, it should have produced thirty-six dates after maturity, but in fact, only thirty-three were often produced first.
The only thing missing from these thirty-three dates was the thunder fire jujube that had reached the fourth level of power.
Only after the thirty-three other dates were picked would the last three fourth-order thunder fire dates finally bear fruit on the branches.
Moreover, the picking of the thirty-three first, second, and third order thunder fire dates is also particular, and it must be picked from the eighteen first-order thunder and fire dates of the lowest grade.
Only after picking all eighteen first-order jujube fruits can nine second-order thunder fire dates be picked, and then six third-order jujubes.
And there can be no mistakes in this process, if you can pick the second-order jujube fruit without picking all the first-order thunder fire jujubes, or if you mistakenly pick the third-order jujube fruit as the second-order jujube fruit, then the last three fourth-order jujube fruits may not bear fruit again, or only one or two.
If the luck is even worse, if one is picked incorrectly, I am afraid that the thunder and fire jujube on the entire jujube tree will explode and turn into a huge thunder fireball, and the aftermath will affect miles and circles.
This is also the reason why Junior Brother Naqi, after knowing that there was no hope of picking the thunder fire dates, did not dare to destroy the jujube tree casually while escaping.
Shang Xia came back to the thunder fire jujube and counted the remaining jujube fruits on the tree, totaling eleven jujube fruits.
In other words, the thirty-three thunder and fire dates that originally bore on the tree had already been picked twenty-two.
Shang Xia looked closely and saw that the six third-order dates on the jujube tree were still there, while none of the first-order jujube fruits were left, which showed that the order in which Junior Brother Qi picked them was very neat.
Shang Xia's martial arts perception was not only wide but also extremely keen, which made it very easy for him to distinguish between the second-order and third-order thunder fire dates on the jujube tree.
Soon, he found out the remaining five second-order thunder and fire dates one by one, and then used the absolute spirit box to receive six third-order thunder and fire dates.
At this time, the dates on the Leihuo jujube had already been picked.
And at this moment, the jujube tree, which was originally more than a foot tall, suddenly began to shrink.
At the same time, the essence of the thunder fire jujube tree began to condense towards the top of the treetop, and the three green jujubes condensed among the branches and leaves at the top of the treetop, and became larger and larger as the jujube tree became smaller and smaller, and at the same time, it became more and more red.
It wasn't until the jujube tree shrank to about a foot in size that the entire jujube tree began to become illusory, but after the top three chicken-sized thunder fire dates turned red, wisps of golden thunder patterns began to appear on them.
The fourth-order thunder fire date finally appeared and grew to maturity.
Seeing this, Shang Xia quickly stretched out his hand and picked the three thunder fire dates one by one, and put them in another absolute spirit box.
Almost at the last moment, when the thunder fire jujube broke away from the mother plant, the jujube tree, which was originally only one foot high, suddenly collapsed and turned into a wisp of verdant origin, shrunk into the ground and disappeared.
Shang Xia understood that that wisp of verdant aura was the origin of the thunder fire jujube tree, and after it was re-conceived and full underground, it would grow back into a new thunder fire jujube tree.
It's just that when and where the next Thunder Fire Jujube Tree will appear is completely unknown.
