A Man Fleeing Ahead, a Dragon Chasing Behind, and a Giant Being Led Along Behind Them

Xu Shen saw Dong Shizhang's Water Mirror appear in front of him and immediately became fearless.

"Hahahaha, kid, with that little bit of strength you have, do you think you can kill me?!"

"My lord's shield is super powerful! You think you can break it?!"

To be honest, Ye Chen wasn't very confident either. After all, this wasn't true Wood Element power, but something else called Release.

The Wooden Thorn Spear struck the Water Mirror, and in an instant, the Water Mirror was pierced straight through!

Xu Shen's eyes went wide. "Impossible!!!"

"Bang!!!"

Xu Shen died on the spot.

Ye Chen grinned. "A headshot. I usually settle my grudges the same day, unless you're lucky."

Dong Shizhang had already added Ye Chen to his must-kill list. "You're courting death!"

His words were filled with terrifying killing intent.

Ye Chen stared at Dong Shizhang with a solemn expression.

Although his opponent's strength had been greatly reduced, his realm was still far beyond Ye Chen's.

Ye Chen hurriedly assumed a battle stance!

He pressed his palms together.

"Snap!"

The markings on Ye Chen's face appeared once more. His bright-red eye shadow looked pitch-black in the dim room.

The aura around Dong Shizhang erupted instantly, and the entire villa began to tremble violently.

"Kid, you're dead!!!"

As Dong Shizhang's aura erupted, the small lake behind the villa began to change as well.

The water throughout the entire lake actually flew straight toward Dong Shizhang!

"Boom!" A gigantic ball of water descended from the sky, and the entire villa collapsed in an instant.

Ye Chen looked up and was startled. He watched as the ball of water, accompanied by chunks of rubble, crashed toward him.

Ye Chen could only grit his teeth hard.

"Wood Release: Barrier Technique!"

A wooden shield shaped like a fanged demonic face instantly appeared above Ye Chen's head.

"Kid! You think a mere piece of wood can block my attack? Are you dreaming!?"

Dong Shizhang mocked him wildly, but in the next second, he was so shocked that his eyes nearly fell out.

The enormous mass crashed down with a thunderous roar, yet the wooden shield remained completely intact.

"How is that possible?!"

Dong Shizhang couldn't believe it at all. An attack that could easily shatter stone had actually failed to do anything?

Ye Chen sneered inwardly. Shocked, are you?

This was a defense even that arrogant Uchiha brat's Susanoo couldn't cut through!

However, the current situation was far from optimistic. If he didn't find a way out soon, he would be submerged by the water.

If he became trapped underwater, he would probably suffocate to death.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen clapped his hands. He had to find a way to break out of this situation... now.

"Then there's only one way!"

With Ye Chen's current strength, he was overflowing with power, but he still didn't dare use the Great Buddha recklessly.

"Wood Release! Wooden Human Technique!"

A low growl came from beneath the wooden shield!

Dong Shizhang remained unconcerned. You little brat, using such a powerful defensive technique at the Awakening Realm has already nearly exhausted you. What kind of trouble can you possibly cause now?

"Kid! Give up! Stop making pointless struggles! Just honestly tell me where that dragon is!"

A giant tree burst from the ground behind Ye Chen, frantically absorbing the spiritual power within his body.

Gradually, the giant tree broke through the Barrier Technique.

A hundred-meter-tall tree towered into the heavens and stood upon the earth. (Don't compare this to the original work—it's a novel! Hilarious~)

Dong Shizhang stared at the tree and fell into deep thought.

This kid's power can create a tree this huge?!

Gradually, Dong Shizhang began to panic a little. What exactly is this tree supposed to do?

Why do I feel like that tree is changing?

Dong Shizhang shook his head and focused his eyes.

"Holy crap! I wasn't mistaken!" Dong Shizhang was so shocked that he swore outright.

The towering tree sprouted four limbs, and a head appeared after that.

Unlike Hashirama's Wooden Human, which was rather chubby, Ye Chen's Wooden Human was slender.

Ye Chen leaped up and landed on the Wooden Human's foot.

Spiritual power gathered beneath his feet.

"Go, Wooden Human! Beat the crap out of him!"

The hundred-meter-tall Wooden Human loomed over Dong Shizhang like it could blot out the sky and cover the earth.

Cold sweat streamed down Dong Shizhang's face.

"Kid... no, little brother... this is all a misunderstanding..."

Dong Shizhang swallowed.

Only a few Saint Realm monsters possessed such a gigantic body.

The Great Peng in particular was said to be capable of blotting out the sky and covering the earth when it spread its wings.

Dong Shizhang had only heard about it.

But now... a colossal creature of similar size had truly appeared before him.

Run!

That was the only word in Dong Shizhang's mind.

"Hm? You're calling me little brother now? Weren't you looking for that dragon? I'll help you find it."

Ye Chen clapped his hands and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Dong Shizhang didn't even dare move.

"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"

Ye Chen spoke softly.

From beneath the Wooden Human's feet, right where Ye Chen stood,

a dragon's head burst out through the wood.

Ye Chen stood steadily atop the Wood Dragon.

The Wood Dragon carried Ye Chen to the top of the Wooden Human's head, and Ye Chen leaped down.

He landed steadily on the Wooden Human's head.

Dong Shizhang understood. His mouth had been hanging open for so long that it had begun to feel dry.

"Little brother... it was all that Xu Shen's fault. He told me there was a dragon here, so I came!"

"This has nothing to do with me! Xu Shen's already been killed by you... How about we let bygones be bygones?"

"It was all a misunderstanding..."

Ye Chen looked at Dong Shizhang, who resembled a clown, and sneered. "Go tell the King of Hell."

The Wood Dragon dove down, its enormous jaws snapping toward Dong Shizhang.

It moved so quickly that Dong Shizhang couldn't react at all.

The Wooden Human followed behind, jogging along. Every step made the ground tremble.

Dong Shizhang barely dodged the Wood Dragon's attack and hurriedly flew into the air.

"Damn it, this place is too far from a water source!"

Dong Shizhang was growing anxious. The nearest abundant water source was the water in the lake from earlier, but how much water could there really be?

Even if it were condensed into a human shape, it might not be as large as one of the Wooden Human's feet.

"Is this kid really a Wood Element user? Damn, what kind of wood is this? Jianmu? The World Tree? What the hell!"

Dong Shizhang flew toward the seaside, while the Wooden Human behind him grew faster and faster.

Everywhere the Wooden Human stepped, all life was extinguished.

The entire forest collapsed in an instant, becoming like a living hell.

Dong Shizhang was frantic.

The Zanghai City stronghold was closest to the seaside, but reaching it required passing through the Westwind Lion King's territory.

This was the shortest route!

But if he brought such a monster to the Lion King, he probably wouldn't be able to escape the Lion King's blame either.

Yet with the arrow already on the string, he had no choice but to release it!

If he delayed any longer, he would probably be dead.

"Old bastard! Don't run!" Ye Chen roared.

Upon hearing this, Dong Shizhang shouted, "Don't chase me, damn it! I'm not leaving!"

"Old bastard! Are you dreaming in broad daylight?!"

The Wooden Human was indeed running a little slowly, mostly because its body was far too huge.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen leaped directly onto the Wood Dragon's head.

Dong Shizhang fled ahead, the Wood Dragon chased behind, and the Wooden Human trailed along after them.

The Westwind Lion King had sensed the enormous tremors and had begun watching the show long ago.

For example, right now, he was hiding high in the sky, concealing his aura as he watched the chase involving three people and one dragon.

He was thoroughly enjoying himself.

"I'm dying laughing! A Myriad Stars Realm expert is being chased and beaten by someone in the Awakening Realm. If word of this got out, he'd probably have to move to another world to live."
