Big Chapter!

"Swish, swish, swish..."

The group ran quickly for several miles before Tang Miao's speed gradually decreased.

At this moment, Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, and several girls behind them also gradually stopped.

"Boss, why are you in such a hurry to run away?" Mo Fan asked Tang Miao, somewhat puzzled.

It seems like they're afraid of something?

But what in this world could Tang Miao possibly be afraid of?

Parthenon Sacred Mountain, weren't those just easy ways to slap someone in the face?

Even the Dark Judgment, which the Holy Court of Judgment prides itself on, was defeated and forced to flee.

So he really didn't understand why such an arrogant person had run away.

Zhao Manyan and the others also looked at Tang Miao with curiosity.

"That tree is problematic; it possesses at least Monarch Level strength!" Tang Miao said calmly, sensing the stench of blood wafting from afar.

Upon hearing this, everyone paused, their faces filled with disbelief...

Then he added, "It doesn't have anything I'm after right now, so why should I provoke it?"

"..."

Mo Fan initially thought Tang Miao was scared.

So that's how it is...

Zhao Manyan then said, "Then... aren't those people finished??"

The girls who had run out with him felt a sense of relief upon hearing this. Luckily, they had witnessed the terror of the trees and hadn't lingered, running out together; otherwise... what would their fate have been now?

As for Shao Nü, she was unhappy with the official's attitude; otherwise, she probably wouldn't have left with Tang Miao and the others.

"What a pity about Nie Lengshan..." Mo Fan said with some regret.

"People die for wealth, birds die for food. When that official said this, no one objected, and no one left with us. It was all their own doing."

He did tell them that something was wrong with the tree.

Unfortunately, faced with such a large sum of money, they didn't want to give it up. Whose fault is that?

Just then, Tang Miao sensed a powerful wind-attribute aura rushing past from above.

The other side seemed oblivious to them, charging headlong towards the cloud-piercing tree...

As Sound Mage, Shao Nü naturally noticed it. She stopped and said, "I think I sense a powerful wind-attribute force... How terrifying!"

She paused, then looked behind her and said, "If I'm not mistaken, they're after that tree!"

"It must have been that big shot who noticed something was wrong and made a move," Tang Miao glanced at Chen Ying, then replied calmly before continuing on her way.

Chen Ying naturally noticed the look Tang Miao was giving her, but she didn't understand it.

"Waaaaah!!"

The group ran for a while longer when they suddenly heard a strange cry coming from afar...

Even though the distance was very, very far, the sound was still deafening! Then, powerful forces of fire, earth, and wind elements converged there...

"Rumble... Rumble..."

At the same time, violent explosions echoed through the sky!

A surging wave of elemental energy erupted, and everyone present felt the terrifying power of its destruction...

Tang Miao could clearly sense that his normally shameful, destructive high-level Lightning Magic was probably nothing compared to this person's...

Is this the terrifying power that approaches the level of a forbidden spell?

Indeed, strength is something to be truly craved!

Moreover, he knew very well that even someone as powerful as Chen Ying's grandmother couldn't kill the tree; she only severely damaged it.

"Call..."

After another frantic burst of activity, the group gradually stopped and took a break.

Mo Fan couldn't help but ask, "Boss, judging from your expression, you seem to know a lot about this tree?"

Tang Miao shook his head and continued, "I don't know what's going on with this either. However, I do know that the powerful figure who just passed by was probably Chen Ying's grandmother."

Upon hearing this, Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, and Chen Ying were all completely dumbfounded!

Are you kidding me?

Her maternal grandmother... she just looks like an ordinary old lady!!

It's truly hard to imagine that such terrifying destructive power, capable of shattering the heavens and splitting the earth, could be displayed by such an ordinary old woman.

However, judging from Tang Miao's expression, he was clearly not joking...

Chen Ying then remembered that Tang Miao had glanced at her earlier... But she was very curious about how Tang Miao knew her grandmother.

"Don't look at me like that. I ran into your grandmother when I arrived. She was examining some bodies that had died here and were scattered elsewhere, and that's when I realized she wasn't an ordinary old woman."

Tang Miao paused, then continued rambling, "However, I didn't expect her to have such great power... It was only when I felt it was familiar that I remembered."

"Then... Grandma..." Chen Ying's eyes reddened upon hearing this, and she seemed somewhat at a loss for words.

Although her mother is still alive, she is no longer a normal human being. Moreover, she lives in Demon Beast realm. She was originally there to fulfill her filial duties to her mother, but she never expected that her grandmother would be such a powerful figure, and even fight desperately against that terrifying tree!

"The old lady had a strong obsession. I think her pretending to be an ordinary person and then suddenly revealing herself was related to this tree."

Tang Miao thought for a moment, then said, "By the way, when she came here, she asked me to tell you when I met you... if one day she decides to do something, it's a wish she didn't fulfill back then, so you don't need to feel sad for her?"

Chen Ying was taken aback upon hearing this...

Seeing how charming and adorable the girl was, Tang Miao felt a little embarrassed.

After all, he was just making this up... He only said that because he knew her grandmother was determined to fight, otherwise he wouldn't have said these things.

At this moment, Zhao Manyan gently patted Chen Ying's shoulder and said, "Since Grandma has kept it hidden until now, there must be something she really regrets. Moreover, judging from the Destruction Magic just now, it may not necessarily be the worst outcome."

Chen Ying didn't respond to Zhao Manyan's words of comfort. But she also didn't think about going back...

Because she knew that none of the people here would let her go back.

Most importantly, if she goes back, and her grandmother is alright, she might become a burden.

After comforting Chen Ying, I suddenly heard a rumbling sound of the earth shaking behind us!

Tang Miao paused, somewhat incredulous... They had clearly already run this far, so how could the servants of the ghost tree have chased after them?

However, this was clearly not the time to think about that, so he quickly called out to the others, "Run!!"

They were comforting Chen Ying when they suddenly heard Tang Miao shout, followed by Shao Nü saying, "It's terrible! Thousands of Demon Beast are heading this way, and they're all quite powerful..."

Upon hearing this, the group didn't dare hesitate any longer and immediately turned and started running away.

Zhao Manyan was completely bewildered. "What's going on with these Demon Beasts? Grandma was fighting that tree, how did they get here?"

Tang Miao ran for a while and replied, "If I'm not mistaken, this ghost tree wants to wipe out all the humans in this area to prevent itself from being discovered! It may have been hunting its prey for hundreds... even thousands of years!"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines...

These days, even a tree can be this terrifying? How horrifying must this world be?

After they had been running for a while, they suddenly saw a moth glowing with fluorescence in the distant blue sky, as if it were adorned with countless glittering stars. Its star-like tail and fluttering blue wings possessed an indescribable beauty. It had a nobility that would make other creatures feel ashamed, and a majesty that would make people dare not act presumptuously, like a Queen exuded a special aura and unparalleled charm!

Its pair of soft, cloud-like wings seemed to flutter gently... its movements were slow, yet it swept across a vast expanse of sky in a short time.

"What... what is that??" Zhao Manyan asked, somewhat bewildered.

He didn't want to hear anything about some kind of roadblock Demon Beast again; that was far too terrifying, his fragile heart couldn't take it!

"The Totem Beast, the Moon Moth Phoenix," Tang Miao said calmly.

"How do you know? Do you know them?" Shao Nü asked, somewhat puzzled.

After all, although the Moon Moth Phoenix was very fast, it was still quite far away. If they weren't mages, they wouldn't have been able to see it clearly at all.

"I believe it's not the enemy anymore..."

Zhao Manyan then saw two alluring and sexy women standing atop the winged, ethereal creature, and only then did he realize that there was no danger.

The Shao Nü looked over as well, and saw one of them wearing a headscarf with a Jiangnan flair, her jet-black hair cascading down to her shoulders, the rest tied into a ponytail that just touched her curvaceous hips...

The other one had beautiful silver tassel hair and flawless, snow-white skin, making her look like a fairy who had stepped out of the icy heavens. She was tall and had a curvaceous figure with starry eyes, red lips, jade hands and snow feet. Every part of her was irresistible.

It must be said that both women are very beautiful. With such beauties by his side, the one being trampled on must not be some terrifying man-eating Half-human Half-demon.

The Moon Moth Phoenix seemed to have spotted Tang Miao as well. It was incredibly fast, moving like a shooting star, and in a flash, it flew to a position close to the ground.

With a gentle flick of its wings, the Moon Moth Phoenix dropped Yu Shishi and Mu Ningxue in front of Tang Miao and the others. Before they could even react, it had already ascended into the sky and quickly disappeared in the direction of the Heavenly Crown Purple Fir Divine Tree...

The others seemed somewhat lost in thought, while Yu Shishi looked at Tang Miao with anxiety and asked, "What happened here? The Moon Moth Phoenix suddenly emerged from its cocoon, and Mu Ningxue and I were worried, so we followed."

She had protected the Moon Moth Phoenix for so many years, and this was the first time she had encountered such a situation. Most importantly, the Moon Moth Phoenix didn't seem to have fully recovered yet.

"Its old rival is here, and its former guardian is here too, which is why it is willing to break free of its cocoon at all costs," Tang Miao said calmly.

"Boss Tang... um, it seems the Moon Moth Phoenix is ignoring those Demon Beast chasing us," Zhao Manyan weakly reminded him.

Mo Fan and the others turned around and looked, and sure enough, they saw billowing smoke and dust coming from afar, getting closer and closer to them!

As the enemy drew closer, the group realized that among them were Seven-Colored Cloud Sparrow, lizard tigers, Azure Demon Worm, and Adamantine Demon Macaque... In short, they were all incredibly powerful Demon Beast, and not only were their levels all above the warrior general level, but their numbers also numbered nearly two thousand!

Among them, the Four-life Lizard Tiger was at the level of Great Commander, and there were as many as five or six Demon Beasts at the Commander Level!

"What good are more spirits and remnants if there's no monarch? Do you think I'm some kind of good-natured person? Prepare for battle!" Tang Miao said to the people around him, looking disdainfully at the charging Spirit Essence and Remnant Soul.

Although Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan's magical energy had not fully recovered, since their elder brother had given the order, they naturally wouldn't say anything more.

Then Mu Ningxue unleashed her Ice Element- Ice Element power, which increased several times over! Clearly, she now holds a place among the Advanced Mage in the country.

Mo Fan then unleashed his Shadow Element powers, creating Dark Domain. Zhao Manyan's actions were simpler: he draped each of the three in a golden battle armor!

Lightning crackled and popped around Tang Miao...

Seeing the four of them ready for battle, the others behind them were somewhat stunned...

Keep in mind, the enemy charging at us numbered in the Demon Beast! Moreover, almost every one of them was General Level, and some were even Great Commander. Instead of continuing their retreat, they actually chose to fight?

Even those who considered themselves very strong and wanted to challenge several renowned Shao Nü from the National Academy found it somewhat unacceptable at this moment...

"So many Demon Beasts... can they really hold them off?" Liu Xiaojia, one of the girls rescued by Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan, asked timidly.

"I... I don't know..." another girl, Lan Luo, shook her head.

To be honest, right now, they just want to run away.

But putting aside the fact that this is somewhat ungrateful, the most important question is: can they really escape?

Their magical energy recovery speed is not as fast as Mo Fan's, and these girls have all been through torture. If they were to leave here alone and encounter Demon Beast on the way, they would almost certainly die.

Just then, the four-lived lizard charged forward, bearing the brunt of the attack.

"Heavenly Punishment Ice Lock Array!"

Thick frost chains crisscrossed wildly around the Four-life Lizard Tiger, rapidly weaving into an icy strangulation array. The steel chains tightly constricted the Four-life Lizard Tiger's body, binding its limbs, and the freezing cold penetrated its blood and bones. The massive array immediately put the Four-life Lizard Tiger at a disadvantage.

"Shadow Sword Nail!"

At the same time, Mo Fan also made his move, sending a series of black giant swords straight into its shadow, seemingly to restrict its movements.

However, the Great Commander is the Great Commander after all; the Four-life Lizard Tiger's skin was surprisingly tough. Even though the two of them had put some restrictions on it, it didn't suffer any major damage...

The Four-life Lizard Tiger broke free of the ice chains in a frenzy, transforming into a sharp, dark light as it stepped over the ice blocks scattered on the ground. The dark light, like a huge, curved blade, swiftly slashed across the spot where Mu Ningxue was.

"Court death!"

Tang Miao appeared in front of Mu Ningxue in a flash, followed by a burst of silver light. The Four-Life Tiger that had charged forward with such ferocity was instantly sent flying!

With his current God Realm, the Space Magic he can unleash is so powerful that he can easily throw out even ordinary Monarch-Level Demon Beast Commander Level!

Before Shao Nü, Yu Shishi, and the others could react in surprise, Tang Miao then grasped the lightning bolt in his hand.

"Purple Firmament Domain!"

"Rumble..."

As soon as the lightning domain was activated, the ice and dark light of the entire land were blasted to smithereens!

"Silent Thunder Death Ray - Lightning Bolt!"

The lightning ball, brimming with violent destruction, grew larger and larger in Tang Miao's hand. Just as he raised it high, the Four-Life Tiger pounced, and he instantly threw it out.

With a "whoosh!" sound, the lightning ball shot straight through the sky and crashed into the massive body of the Four-Life Tiger.

The Four-Life Lizard wanted to shatter the lightning ball with a single claw, but the moment it struck it, it instantly howled!

The lightning ball shot straight into the sky. When it reached mid-air, Tang Miao clenched his fist and focused his energy!

"Burst!!"

A deafening roar echoed across the entire sky!

But that wasn't all. The Four-life Lizard Tiger's body emitted a beastly light, and the previously wounded creature inexplicably grew stronger... However, the power of the lightning ball did not end there, and it continued to bombard them!

"Purple Heaven Thunderclap!!"

Furthermore, under Tang Miao's control, all the lightning bolts in the domain struck the Four-Life Tiger's body!

With a 40x multiplier, even a single strike of Domain Lightning deals nearly the output of High-level Magic!

No matter how powerful this Four-Life Tiger is, how many bolts of lightning can it withstand?

Before the incredulous eyes of the group, the four-lived tiger was cleaved into pieces...

After defeating the Four-Life Lizard Tiger, Wind Wings appeared on Tang Miao's back! Then, a cloud of dust was stirred up as he charged head-on into the horde of beasts.

Mu Ningxue, Mo Fan, and Zhao Manyan remained motionless, still standing there.

The Shao Nü exclaimed in surprise, "He's already charged into the herd of beasts, why are you all still standing here?!"

Although Shao Nü found his actions reckless, she couldn't just watch him die in vain, could she?
