"Medicine Sect!"
The instant Chu Qiushui saw that pitch-black, monstrous tree, a cold gleam flashed in her eyes, as though it had brought back some unbearable memory from the past.
Her face, usually as cool and pristine as jade, darkened in an instant until it seemed ready to drip water.
Without any unnecessary movement, she merely gave a light flick of her hand.
A streak of sword light flew from her sleeve. At first, it was no more than a three-foot blade, yet it swelled with the wind in midair, transforming in the blink of an eye into a heaven-shaking giant sword dozens of zhang long.

Countless broken branches lashed wildly through the air, black sap spraying everywhere like a colossal beast making its death throes.

The black sphere was as large as a
