"You..."
Upon seeing this scene, Yan Chixia was immediately enraged.
You braved thorns and brambles, enduring the attacks of the Tree Demon Granny to rescue people, and here you are, embracing a female ghost and having a good time?
"Sir, what can I do for you?"
Xu Long raised his head and asked Yan Chixia.
"It's nothing, I'm just browsing around!"
Suppressing the urge to kill Xu Long with a single sword strike, Yan Chixia turned and engaged the Tree Demon Granny in battle.
After several tree roots were severed, the Tree Demon Granny seemed to get angry.
Dozens of tree roots swarmed towards Yan Chixia, aiming fiercely at him.
The battle between the human and the demon was extremely fierce, and its impact was widespread.
Lanruo Temple was already dilapidated, and after such a fierce battle, it collapsed completely.
"Wow, a tentacle monster? A favorite of the Japan?"
Xu Long muttered to himself, feeling that this Tree Demon Granny was indeed quite capable.
Plant-type monsters are inherently full of vitality, especially those like the Tree Demon Granny.
Its true form is hidden underground, and each time it makes a move, it only releases some tree roots.
It's best to encounter someone you can defeat, but it's okay if you can't; at most, you'll just lose some tree roots.
With its immense vitality, it could regenerate a huge number of new cells in no time.
He reached out and released Nie Xiaoqian, who fled like a wild dog.
She didn't want to see this man again for even a minute. He was too horrible. In all her years as a ghost, she had never seen such a despicable man.
He touched her until she was itchy all over, but refused to stop the itching.
Rumble!
The Tree Demon Granny is very strong, but Yan Chixia is not bad either.
The two fought fiercely, but neither of them fought with their lives on the line.
Yan Chixia had fought with his Granny many times and knew her background, while his Granny naturally understood Yan Chixia's abilities as well.
While keeping Yan Chixia occupied, the tree roots on the other side went after Xu Long.
"You old monster, you've got some nerve!"
Seeing the tree roots approaching, Xu Long felt that this old man was being too arrogant.
You can't even kill Yan Chixia, do you think you can kill him?
Oh, I almost forgot, he concealed his aura, and in the Tree Demon Granny's perception, he was just an ordinary person.
Tree roots fly through the air; if they were to touch you, they would pierce through even if the tree was made of iron.
However, Xu Long was no ordinary man; he was much harder than copper or iron.
bite!
When fingers collided with tree roots, they produced a metallic clang.
Yan Chixia was very surprised. He had thought this was just an ordinary scholar, but he hadn't expected that the real man was a hidden talent with considerable abilities.
But what truly surprised him was yet to come...
A faint gray light appeared between her fingers, and the roots of the Tree Demon Granny seemed to have undergone millions of years of erosion in an instant, turning into ashes that were quickly blown away.
"This..."
Yan Chixia couldn't sense any aura, but the more this was the case, the more terrifying it became.
Centered on the point of contact, the Tree Demon Granny's roots completely collapsed at an appalling speed.
In less than a breath, all the tree roots vanished, leaving only a deep hole in the ground.
"Ah!"
A piercing scream came from underground and quickly disappeared.
Xu Long knew that the Tree Demon Granny had chosen a drastic measure, which, while successfully averting Oblivion, had severely weakened her.
The Tree Demon Granny is a plant spirit, and in theory, she should have absorbed the earth's energy to grow.
However, she enslaved a group of female ghosts to collect yang energy for her, and although her Magic Power was vast and boundless, it also became a burden.
Although sacrificing part of the body damaged one's vital energy, it did not significantly reduce combat power.
If one can wake up and eliminate the impurities, perhaps one can go even further.
"I thought you were just an ordinary person, but I didn't expect you to be such a hidden master. I am Yan Chixia, greetings, fellow Daoist!"
Yan Chixia cupped his hands in a gesture of surprise towards Xu Long.
Based on that move alone, he was far superior to him.
"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me. I am but a recluse in the mountains."
Xu Long waved his hand, his attitude very humble.
" The Tree Demon Granny has retreated, and the female ghost has fled. There should be no more danger tonight. However, that old monster is cunning and cruel by nature. Having suffered such a great loss just now, she certainly won't let it go easily. Her root system is vast, extending for hundreds of miles around."
Yan Chixia hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Fellow Daoist is no ordinary person either. Why not join forces with me to completely kill that old monster, thus avoiding a troublesome situation and also ridding the people of a scourge?"
The world is in chaos, monsters abound, and ordinary people live lives worse than pigs and dogs.
The situation is much better for cultivators, but they are still in danger of being killed at any time.
Therefore, most cultivators prioritize self-preservation and rarely take the initiative to fight demons unless absolutely necessary.
Yan Chixia had prepared various persuasive words, thinking that Xu Long would refuse.
However, to Yan Chixia's surprise, Xu Long readily agreed.
"Oh, by the way, I'll keep that female ghost. She feels nice; I can take her home as a toy."
Xu Long spoke with unwavering resolve, his expression upright and dignified, displaying the demeanor of a true gentleman.
"If you can kill that old monster, you can have all the brats."
Yan Chixia agreed to Xu Long's conditions; they were just some small fry, nothing serious.
Although Xu Long's quirk is a bit strange, the world is a big place, and there are all kinds of people in it, so it's not worth worrying about.
As the two were talking, a thought suddenly flashed through Yan Chixia's mind, and he jumped up abruptly.
"Oh no! That Tree Demon Granny is injured and will surely seek blood to recover. Xiahou is full of vitality, which is exactly the type the tree demon likes best."
Yan Chixia gave a low shout, drew his sword, and ran outside.
As he moved forward, he took out a talisman from his bag and lit it with his mental power.
laugh!
The talisman transformed into a wisp of green smoke, pointing due north.
Yan Chixia didn't hesitate for a moment and increased his speed even further.
In the northern mountains and forests, Swordsman Xiahou strolled leisurely.
He was in a terrible mood and even lost faith in his own pursuits.
All his life's learning was for the sake of becoming the greatest swordsman in the Number One Under Heaven.
However, he challenged Yan Chixia dozens of times but never won.
As he gets older, his physical functions are declining.
If he can't beat Yan Chixia now, he might not even be qualified to spar with him in a few years.
" Yan Chixia, oh Yan Chixia, I am no match for you!"
Swordsman Xiahou sighed, recalling the words Yan Chixia had once said.
Yan Chixia was not a swordsman, but a cultivator.
He possesses various powerful spells, and not only is his overall strength far superior to his, but his lifespan is also several times or even dozens of times longer.
In this way, even if he were reincarnated, he would never be a match for Yan Chixia.
"Perhaps... I could learn magic..."
Thinking of this, Swordsman Xiahou's hope was rekindled.
However, at that moment, a strong sense of crisis suddenly arose, causing him to instinctively lunge forward.
laugh!
A piercing scream came from behind, and a tree root emerged from where they had been standing.
If I hadn't dodged in time, I probably would have been pierced.
