Change! Jiang Tao is Actually

"You damned humans, do you think you can suppress me with just a mere formation?!"

"Once I break free, I will definitely turn this place into my Demon Spirit Demon Realm!"

The piercing voice echoed within the pit.

Zhao Ting snorted coldly.

His vital energy erupted, pressing down on the commotion below.

"Damn Tree Demon, you're still so arrogant after being suppressed here?! Come out now if you have the guts!"

"Watch me take you in!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yunxuan and the others all looked at him.

"Ahem... isn't this just to boost our morale!"

Zhao Ting's expression immediately turned awkward.

He got caught boasting by acquaintances.

"Rumble!"

The entire pit shook again, as if Zhao Ting's words had provoked the Tree Demon being suppressed below.

Moreover, as the sealing formation's suppression began to weaken, the entire Demon Suppressing Division began to shake.

"Uh..."

For a moment, Zhao Ting gave a dry laugh.

"Don't just stand there, quickly stabilize the formation, we can't let it run wild."

Everyone immediately snapped back to their senses and focused even more intently on maintaining the sealing formation.

Old Taoist Songhe rapidly formed hand seals.

The "Fire Spirit Gourd" in his hand slowly began to grow larger.

It quickly became taller than a person, and then rapidly flew above the Demon Suppressing Division.

"Sanniang!"

After finishing, Old Taoist Songhe called out to Du Sanniang.

The latter understood immediately.

She followed by tossing the "Soul Refining Banner" in her hand upwards.

She rapidly chanted incantations, and the originally limp banner cloth began to lengthen, then flew into the sky, circling the gourd once.

"Refine!"

With Du Sanniang's command.

The Soul Banner began to erupt with a hazy light.

Then, it radiated towards the entire Yunzhou City.

All the martial artists and cultivators looked up towards the direction of the Demon Suppressing Division.

Wherever the light passed, everyone felt a surge of vital energy within their bodies, as if being pulled by a mysterious force.

"The sealing formation has begun."

After a glance, everyone ignored it, clearly understanding the operating principle of the formation.

Qin Bo also felt a portion of the vital energy within his body being extracted.

"What a powerful formation, it can actually extract vital energy from thin air. It needs the vital energy of tens of thousands of people in the entire city to suppress this fierce creature, it really is extraordinary."

"I'm increasingly looking forward to the lifespan you can provide me."

Qin Bo secretly marveled at the wonder and dominance of this sealing formation.

Above the sealing formation.

Endless vital energy was absorbed by the Soul Refining Banner!

Then, it was all devoured by the "Fire Spirit Gourd".

After devouring the vital energy, the Fire Spirit Gourd grew larger and larger.

A dazzling red light outshone the moon's cold brilliance. The entire Yunzhou City was covered in this anomaly red glow.

"Condense!"

As Old Taoist Songhe's words fell.

The vital energy within the gourd condensed into a massive mass of energy.

Chen Song and the other man moved.

The blood sword in his hand was offered up.

Having received the infusion of vital energy, the Evil Slaying Sword glowed with a bloody light.

"Go, with my power, slay all Evil!"

The Evil Slaying Sword transformed into a streak of blood-red light, shooting towards the bottom of the sealing pit.

The blood-red glow on the sword was almost tangible, causing ripples in space wherever it passed.

As the Evil Slaying Sword approached the place where the Tree Demon was suppressed, the Tree Demon seemed to sense a fatal threat, letting out a series of shrill roars.

However, its power was already firmly suppressed by the sealing formation, making it impossible to avoid this fierce strike.

"BOOM!"

The Evil Slaying Sword pierced fiercely into the stump where the Tree Demon's core was located, and the blood-red glow erupted instantly, illuminating the area around the stump in a crimson light.

The Tree Demon's body trembled violently.

Countless black mists emerged from its body, as if its life force was being rapidly drained.

Under the attack of the Evil Slaying Sword, the Tree Demon's resistance grew weaker and weaker.

The sealing formation also became more stable due to the injection of this powerful force, and as the light flowed, the runes flickered more and more brightly.

The last middle-aged man watched this scene, his eyes gleaming, and the Spirit Suppressing Stone Tablet in his hand also emitted a faint light.

"Quick, the Spirit Suppressing Stone Tablet! Jiang Tao!"

Zhou Yunxuan decisively gave the order.

In this critical moment, Zhou Yunxuan did not notice the change in Jiang Tao's eyes.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tao raised the Spirit Suppressing Stone Tablet high with both hands, roared, and slammed the stone tablet towards the location of the Tree Demon.

During its descent, the stone tablet continuously absorbed the surrounding vital energy and spiritual power, becoming larger and larger, and its light became more and more intense.

"BOOM!"

With a loud bang, the stone tablet slammed heavily on the Tree Demon's core stump.

But who knew what would happen next.

The Spirit Suppressing Stone Tablet actually exploded directly.

Even Chen Song's Evil Slaying Sword was blasted away.

A terrifying shockwave spread out, centered on the Tree Demon's seal, and spread throughout the entire pit.

Caught off guard, everyone was sent flying backwards by this force.

"Cough cough... What's going on?!"

Chen Song suffered a backlash, spitting out a mouthful of blood, looking at everything that was happening in front of him with a shocked expression.

"Jiang Tao?!"

"What's going on?!"

Zhao Ting roared and looked at Jiang Tao.

Who knew that Jiang Tao would grin.

"Hehe..."

"What's going on?! Of course, it's to rescue My Lord!"

A woman's voice came from his mouth.

"Not good, he's not Jiang Tao."

Zhou Yunxuan's expression changed, and he immediately realized that the Jiang Tao in front of him had probably been controlled long ago.

"Who exactly are you?!"

Old Taoist Songhe stared vigilantly at "Jiang Tao", holding the Fire Spirit Gourd tightly in his hand, ready to attack at any moment.

"Jiang Tao's" body began to twist and deform, his skin gradually turned black, and his eyes flickered with a strange, ghostly light.

"I am a Guardian under the Tree Demon Matriarch, and today I am here to help My Lord escape. You ants, prepare to die!"

With that said, "Jiang Tao" waved his hands.

A black mist instantly flew out of his body.

Forming a strange black shadow.

And Jiang Tao's body slowly softened and collapsed to the ground.

"Fox Demon!"

Zhou Yunxuan was furious.

Flipping his hand, he struck out with a palm, A huge handprint slammed down towards the black shadow.

The black shadow faced Zhou Yunxuan's attack without dodging or evading, but instead let out a sharp laugh.

The shadow flickered and instantly transformed into countless black mists, spreading out.

Zhou Yunxuan's palm struck empty.

"Hehehe... City Lord Zhou is indeed powerful."

"But you should take care of yourselves first!"

The black mist was formless and intangible, drifting without a trace.

"Brother Zhou, this is the Fox Demon's innate divine ability; her true body isn't here."

"Don't waste your energy. Now that the sealing formation has been compromised, what do we do?"

Below the pit, due to the Fox Demon's methods, two treasures were destroyed.

Soon, without the suppression of the Evil Slaying Sword, the Tree Demon became active again.

"Hahaha... No matter how much you humans scheme, you've still miscalculated."

"Today, I will break free from the seal and return to the world!"
