Several Spirit Realm Rangers took this opportunity to launch attacks on each other.
Although some had prepared defenses, they were still caught off guard as the person who previously ambushed Furan drew everyone's attention.
"Ah!"
In an instant, two people were killed by their 'companions.' The targets were those they had confirmed through observation to truly possess jade stones.
They snatched the jade stones and immediately fled, not looking back at the situation behind them at all.
While some reacted in time and weren't eliminated by their 'companions,' they also worried that others might want the jade stones in their hands.
Thus, they followed suit and scattered, moving away from the crowd.
Furan watched the surrounding people flee, feeling somewhat bewildered.
Why did they turn on each other in an instant? She began to understand why Weilin Te had left so many people alone and come to seek her cooperation instead.
It turned out they were all thinking of killing those around them to snatch the jade stones on their bodies.
Weilin Te had drawn her weapon and started keeping watch ever since Furan was ambushed.
Seeing that Furan had resolved the matter and the surrounding crowd had dispersed due to the chaos, she finally spoke:
"Are you alright? There are always some people who only think about robbing others."
"I'm fine..."
Furan noticed that after she killed the person and they disappeared, they dropped a small pouch, which she then picked up.
Weilin Te didn't notice Furan picking up the small pouch; she asked hesitantly,
"Um... do you have any high-power Spells? Can you cast them multiple times?"
Originally, she hadn't had this doubt, but after seeing Furan counter-kill an ambusher in the blink of an eye, doubts arose in her heart.
In the apprentice stage, it's basically impossible to reach the top level in both melee combat and spellcasting because it's not cost-effective.
When you ascend to the official rank, practicing another discipline will definitely yield much better results than practicing it as an apprentice.
This included the Sword Chant School; they only had apprentices practice swordsmanship, and the Spells they taught were all for support effects.
"I do, and I can cast them multiple times."
Furan answered very confidently. After several battles in the Spirit Realm, her Wind Blade had already reached the mastery level; this definitely met Weilin Te's requirements!
Seeing Furan say she had them, Weilin Te could only choose to believe her and continued walking toward the platform.
Furan was already her only choice; she felt she couldn't find anyone else she could trust.
Regardless of whether Furan had spellcasting strength or not, she had to assume she did.
Looking for others now might lead to a backstab, and since both she and Furan had two jade stones, there was no motive for betrayal.
At worst, they would just take the reward for two jade stones in the end; that was better than looking for others and potentially getting nothing.
The two walked onto the platform, maintaining a certain distance from the stationary Vine Giant.
"I'll cut the vines on this side, and you aim your Spells at the areas not covered by vines."
The two briefly arranged their upcoming attack methods.
Weilin Te held her breath and focused her mind as a surge of power gathered in her arms.
"Hoo!"
She activated her Breathing Technique, and her muscles twitched suddenly. Her greatsword seemed to possess the weight of ten thousand tons.
With a heavy, powerful slash, the greatsword left an afterimage in the air and slammed heavily into the rock, letting out a terrifying boom as if the rock itself had been dented.
This was accompanied by the sound of vines being sliced by the sword, though it was masked by the sound of the sword colliding with the rock.
The Vine Giant felt someone attacking it. Accompanied by the sound of the ground vibrating, it began to stretch its body.
Before it could extend its arms, a Wind Blade whistled past, hitting its shoulder where it wasn't covered by vines.
The Vine Giant acted as if it had been struck by a heavy blow, its body tilting backward. A large chunk of rock was sliced off its hit shoulder, and that arm fell off along with it.
"It's working!"
Weilin Te hadn't expected the effect to be this good, actually dismantling the opponent's arm in one hit.
"Continue!"
However, she also noticed that as the arm fell, the vines at its neck began to grow rapidly, gradually covering more areas.
Weilin Te had no time to look back now; she had to pay constant attention to the Vine Giant's movements to prevent herself from being hit once and rolling out of the Spirit Realm, which would make all her hard work for naught.
She raised her greatsword and slashed toward the Vine Giant's other shoulder.
She wanted to cut through the vines here first, so Furan could then take down this arm as well.
This would make her melee environment much more comfortable; a stone giant without even arms would find it difficult to execute flexible attacks.
The giant seemed to possess intelligence; knowing she wanted its arm to fall off again, it dodged backward, preventing the sword from hitting its shoulder.
But its size was simply too large. Weilin Te's greatsword struck its abdomen, shaking off a large patch of vines. The cut appeared black, revealing a smooth rocky abdomen.
Furan saw the opportunity and sent another Wind Blade carrying powerful energy straight toward the Vine Giant's abdomen.
It seemed the rocky parts of the Vine Giant were very weak to magic, leading to unexpected results.
A large hole appeared on the side of the Vine Giant's abdomen, leaving its upper and lower body connected only by the remaining fragment.
This brought great inconvenience to the Vine Giant's movements; it felt that if it moved too much, it might split in two.
Right now, it really wanted to curse the Jade Corridor Lord who gave it such settings. Why add a weakness to me? Why couldn't you just let me fight them with this size?
"Good Spell!"
Weilin Te observed the Vine Giant's movements for a moment and knew it was currently struggling to maintain its balance, which was a great opportunity.
She immediately stepped forward and, without too much flair, slashed her sword into the other half of the Vine Giant's abdomen.
Then she directly released a Spell she had obtained during her Spirit Realm exploration, [Lightning Impact]. Her hand emitted a dazzling white light as she charged toward the target.
She believed this would be the final blow; after this, the Vine Giant would basically fall apart and wouldn't be able to fight her anymore.
However, her strike only chipped off half the rock, with some still attached.
This caused her pupils to shrink; she hadn't expected this. She thought that since Furan's Spell could cause such great damage, her own would be less powerful, but not by much.
At least it should have been able to shatter the connecting part, right?
But she hadn't expected the power to be so small. A terrifying thought surfaced in her mind.
That Lai Yi not only surpassed her in strength but was also more than just a little bit stronger than her in spellcasting.
A Wind Blade grazed Weilin Te's hair and struck the Vine Giant, causing its upper and lower body to separate. The rocks rolled on the ground for a while before the sound stopped.
And in the chest area of the Vine Giant, which had cracked open at some point, there was a green jade stone split in two.
