Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 188 - 125: Only One Leaves Alive_2

When I was at the Exorcism Array, I was so fortunate to obtain a trace of Spirit Charm from a Spirit Seed.

After refining this trace of Spirit Charm, in less than a month’s time, I am only one step away from Foundation Establishment.

According to Sect regulations, once the Spirit Charm from a Spirit Seed is obtained, one cannot remain in the Spirit Realm, as it would affect the Sect’s acquisition of Spirit Seeds.

At this moment, Shang Rui’s gaze turned fiery as he looked straight toward the cave behind Chu Ning, with a hint of excitement in his voice.

"However, I happened to learn from other fellow disciples that there is actually a Flame Wood Twin Fruit here.

If I can obtain this fruit for assistance, I wouldn’t even need to take a Foundation Establishment Pill and could directly succeed in Foundation Establishment. My future achievements will not be inferior to those with Celestial Spirit Roots!

In order to obtain these Spirit Fruits, I have been waiting until you all entered and the Directional Needle became functional again to find this place, but I never thought you would beat me to it."

Chu Ning looked at the ever-changing expression of Shang Rui and continued in a deep voice:

"Since Senior Brother only wants the Flame Wood Twin Fruit, you could have just asked me directly, why resort to lethal means?"

"Heh!"

Shang Rui chuckled, shook his head, and said:

"You don’t understand the importance of Spirit Seeds to the Sect. They are treasures of heaven and earth that can help Golden Core Cultivators reach the Nascent Soul Stage.

In front of this treasure, my Foundation Establishment is merely an insignificant matter.

If the Sect Leader finds out that I obtained the Spirit Charm and lingered in the Spirit Realm, and if any accidents happened midway, then I..."

"So you intend to kill to silence?" Chu Ning’s heart sank.

Shang Rui nodded slowly, his smile from earlier gone, and his gaze at Chu Ning turned cold and fierce.

"I went to great lengths and effort to eliminate the Junior Brother who provided me with the information without being discovered by others.

Do you think I would let you leave alive?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Ning sighed slightly.

"So only one of us will leave alive, there’s no choice, is there?"

Upon hearing this, Shang Rui’s face once again showed a smile, only this time it was full of mockery.

"You, a Qi Refining Seventh Layer cultivator, saying such words isn’t it ridiculous?"

"Not at all!" Chu Ning said, as he casually raised his hand, a Long Saber appearing in his hand.

At the same time, as the Long Saber slashed down, a green light shot toward Shang Rui.

"Cangmu Sword Technique?"

Shang Rui chuckled lightly and raised his hand, also emitting the same Sword Technique.

The two Sword Techniques collided in the air, and even though Chu Ning used a Magical Artifact to cast it, the green light still dissipated under Shang Rui’s casual strike.

"Ordinary spell attacks are completely ineffective against the opponent."

Chu Ning sighed inwardly, feeling for the first time the power of a Qi Refining Perfection approaching a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

He still had an Intermediate Middle Grade Talisman on him, but he didn’t want to waste it at this moment.

After all, the opponent might have other means as well, so instead of depleting resources, it was better to have a quick and decisive battle.

Chu Ning put away the Long Saber and already had a black Shield in his hand.

Thunder Shock Step!

At the same time, Chu Ning’s figure flashed, directly charging toward Shang Rui.

At this moment, Shang Rui’s face showed a slight surprise, but he seemed to have guessed something.

As his figure flashed, Shang Rui dodged while a layer of Flame Shield appeared on the surface of his body.

At the same time, as he raised his hand, countless Fireballs charged toward Chu Ning.

"Hiss, hiss!"

However, these Fireballs were directly blocked at a distance of about a yard from Chu Ning’s body.

It was because Chu Ning had already activated a Defense Talisman.

Simultaneously, Chu Ning’s speed did not decrease, and he directly charged in front of Shang Rui.

Blazing Flame Bracelet! Celestial Spirit Fist!

Shang Rui seemed a bit surprised at Chu Ning’s speed.

However, when he saw Chu Ning’s right fist coming,

there was no panic on his face, instead, the mockery only deepened.

The next moment, Chu Ning’s flaming right fist struck the red Magical Power Shield.

However, it slightly puzzled him that the flame attack from his Blazing Flame Bracelet did not have any effect on Shang Rui’s Magical Power Shield.

On the contrary, when the blaze touched the red Shield, it was directly absorbed.

"Playing with fire in front of me?"

Meanwhile, Shang Rui’s playful voice rang out.

"Bang!"

Chu Ning, however, did not care and continued with the latter half of the Celestial Spirit Fist’s attack, striking the red Defense Shield.

Immediately, the crimson Defense Shield trembled, as if it might shatter at any moment.

This unexpectedly surprised Shang Rui.

"Body Cultivator?"

At this moment, Shang Rui seemed to have guessed something, condensing a flame in his right hand and pressing it directly toward Chu Ning, who was right in front of him.

However, Chu Ning did not retreat but advanced, directly blocking the flame with the black Shield.

His right hand struck out swiftly once more, this time not adding the Blazing Flame Bracelet.

"Hiss!" "Hiss!"

Continuous bursts of flame erupting sounds rang out.

This included the sound of Shang Rui’s Flame Shield shattering, as well as the sound of his flames hitting the black Shield.

Simultaneously, Chu Ning’s body charged forward fiercely.

The black Shield held in his left hand, accompanied by the momentum of his charge, forcefully struck Shang Rui’s body.

This impact instantly sent Shang Rui flying backward.

Simultaneously, after losing the protection of the Defense Shield, the tremendous impact from the Shield made Shang Rui feel a burst of intense pain in his body. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Damn it!"

After stabilizing his body, Shang Rui only felt the surging of his blood and Magical Power, realizing that he was already injured from this collision.
