"Shitie Bridge, you actually dared to collude with others to deceive me, sneaking into the cave to steal Heavenly Thunder Fruit..."
Ning Caichen was enraged, a bloody and ferocious aura instantly enveloping Shi Tieqiao and the old woman!
Feeling Ning Caichen's presence, Shi Tieqiao turned pale with fear. If Ning Caichen had any murderous intent, they would be dead by now, not even a burial!
After all, the gap in their realms is too vast. With just a faint display of powerful aura, they could crush Shi Tieqiao and the other into paste!
"Master Ning, please calm your anger. I was also deceived by that Chen Ping. Fortunately, he only took three Tianlei Fruit. There are still plenty left on the tree. All of them belong to Master Ning. I absolutely will not fight for them!"
Shítiěqiáo hurriedly followed Níngcǎichén in apologizing!
After hearing Shi Tieqiao's words, Ning Caichen finally retracted his breath!
Fortunately, Chen Ping didn't take many Tianlei fruits. If Chen Ping had taken all the Tianlei fruits, Ning Caichen would have definitely killed Shi Tieqiao!
And at this time, several cultivators had already jumped onto the Tianlei Tree and reached out to pick the Tianlei Fruit!
But just as his hand was about to touch the Tianlei fruit, suddenly several bolts of lightning flashed across the Tianlei tree!
Then, those several cultivators were all struck by lightning and fell from the Tianlei tree!
Those cultivators with the power to resist were directly blasted into nothingness!
And some powerful cultivators were pierced through their bodies, with no breath left. They only remained as complete corpses!
Seeing this scene, all those excited cultivators were dumbfounded. One by one, they looked at the heavenly thunder fruit on the Sky Thunder Tree, and none of them had the initial impulse!
They also understood why the bloodthirsty thunder eagle wasn't guarding here. The power of lightning from this heavenly thunder tree was probably enough to deter many people!
"Revered Beast Mirror..."
Ning Caichen shouted, and immediately someone from the Ning family handed up the bronze mirror!
Ning Caichen took the bronze mirror and planned to go into battle himself.

He knew that the bloodthirsty thunder eagle must have gone after Chen Ping who had just harvested the Heavenly Thunder Fruit, so he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity and quickly pick a few Heavenly Thunder Fruits!
Ning Caichen took the bronze mirror and jumped up, then reached out to grab a Heavenly Thunder Fruit!
Boom...
A bolt of lightning struck, and Ning Caichen quickly pulled out his bronze mirror to shield himself. The lightning struck the mirror with force, its power being directly reflected away!
Although Ning Caichen wasn't struck by lightning directly, the force of the lightning hitting the copper mirror caused him to feel a heaviness in his body and fall downward involuntarily!
When everyone saw Ning Caichen easily pick a Heavenly Thunder Fruit with the bronze mirror in his hand, they were all envious. However, they didn't dare to grab it. As a cultivator at the eighth rank of the Body Integration Realm, Ning Caichen was not someone they could deal with!
After putting away the Sky Thunder Fruit, Ning Caichen took the bronze mirror and soared into the sky once more!
This time, Ning Caichen quickly grabbed the Skythunder Fruit and then rapidly retreated!
Even so, it was useless. A bolt of lightning struck the Heavenly Thunder Tree instantly. Ning Caichen used his old trick again, deflecting the lightning with a bronze mirror!
After this strike, another bolt of lightning struck the Tianlei Tree!
Ning Cai Chen clutched the bronze mirror tightly, once again holding it in front of him!
< rumbling... >
After a deafening boom, the lightning force was reflected away, but the bronze mirror in Ning Caichen's hand was shattered!
The immense recoil force left Ning Caichen's face extremely ugly.
Falling back to the ground, Ning Caichen looked at the shattered bronze mirror and felt a pang of heartache!
This is their Ning family's heirloom, destroyed like this!
Ning Caichen didn't understand. He had only managed to pick two Tianlei Fruit by using his bronze mirror as a shield, while that escaping Chen Ping had somehow managed to take three!
