"Who is it? Show yourself!"
Swordsman Xiahou shouted angrily, but the enemy did not appear. Instead, more tree roots emerged from the ground.
boom!
A dull thud sounded, followed by a terrifying attack.
A tree root suddenly burst forth, its target aimed directly at Swordsman Xiahou's heart.
If hit, it will immediately turn into a candied hawthorn.
"Damn it! What kind of monster is this?!"
Swordsman Xiahou cursed angrily and tried to dodge.
But at that moment, the tree root that had been shot at him suddenly shook and swept towards him.
"Not good!"
The situation was extremely critical; whether retreating or dodging to the side, the outcome was inevitable—they would be pierced.
With a fierce determination, Swordsman Xiahou channeled his Internal Force into his longsword and slashed down hard at the tree roots.
bite!
The sound was crisp and clear, but to Swordsman Xiahou it sounded like the wailing of a vengeful ghost.
His all-out attack failed to even sever the tree roots, let alone leave a trace.
"This..."
Swordsman Xiahou suddenly realized a problem: Yan Chixia, as a cultivator, not only did not seek a good path for himself in this chaotic world, but instead hid in Lanruo Temple.
Perhaps he already knew there was a monster here, and his purpose in staying was to slay that monster.
Swordsman Xiahou felt despair. If Yan Chixia had truly come for this monster, then his strength must far surpass his own.
Under such circumstances, he still overestimated himself and went to challenge him, but Yan Chixia did not kill him; instead, he kept hiding.
Compared to the other two, I am far inferior.
" Yan Chixia, I am no match for you!"
Swordsman Xiahou sighed inwardly, knowing that he was most likely to die here today.
Knowing that death is inevitable but not wanting to die is a human instinct.
He wanted to fight and see if he could escape.
Using the Super Strength transmitted from the tree roots, Swordsman Xiahou turned and ran without the slightest hesitation.
Faced with such a terrifying monster, what's the point of staying? Are we just asking to die?
Swordsman Xiahou is just stubborn, not stupid.
Knowing there was absolutely no chance of winning, they still stayed; they're practically insane.
However, Swordsman Xiahou wanted to run away, but the Tree Demon Granny didn't want him to.
After being injured by the Power of Oblivion, Granny's instincts as a demon led her to make the difficult decision to sacrifice part of her body.
She was right; otherwise, if she hadn't discarded that part of her body, she would be dead beyond recognition.
The loss of part of her body severely damaged Granny's vitality. If she had been smarter, she might have realized her mistake and started refining her body.
Remove the dross and keep the essence.
If you can't bear to part with what's left, then train it into multiple clones.
However, few fairies are intelligent, and plant-based fairies are even more foolish.
Instead of refining her physical body, the Tree Demon Granny was thinking of quickly replenishing her vital energy.
It has to be said, there's really nothing you can do about low IQ.
If she chooses to hide, Xu Long might not be able to deal with her for a while.
But Tree Demon Granny was rushing out so impatiently, it would be a shame not to give her a good beating.
The tree roots are like long snakes, both fierce and agile.
In less than two seconds, they had caught up.
Swordsman Xiahou's face was filled with despair. He was a martial artist who knew neither magic nor a physique strong enough to fight monsters head-on.
If you were to take that hit, even if you didn't die, you'd be left barely clinging to life.
"This is... really the end..."
Yan Chixia was very fast, and arrived at Swordsman Xiahou's location in just a few dozen breaths.
However, he arrived too late. Swordsman Xiahou had already been pierced through the chest by the Tree Demon Granny's roots, and all his vital essence had been absorbed, leaving him hanging on the tree like a piece of cured meat.
"No!"
Yan Chixia roared angrily and swung his sword at the tree roots.
laugh!
The Tree Demon Granny was enjoying sucking the tree when it was cut off before it could be pulled out.
With old and new grudges combined, enemies are bound to be extremely hostile when they meet.
However, the Tree Demon Granny was only low in intelligence, not truly mentally challenged. She was already difficult to deal with Yan Chixia alone, let alone Xu Long.
The tree roots retreated rapidly and disappeared in the blink Kung Fu Hustle an eye.
Damn it, damn it, damn it!
Yan Chixia plunged his sword into the ground with a fierce thrust, his terrifying killing intent seemingly solidifying.
Although Swordsman Xiahou was as clingy as a leech, he was like a friend to Yan Chixia.
Having clashed dozens of times, they had developed a bond; otherwise, she wouldn't have let him go so often.
Now that Swordsman Xiahou is dead, Yan Chixia is so angry that he wants to dig the Tree Demon Granny out of the ground immediately.
"That old monster is cunning and treacherous. He never fights head-on, but always ambushes others with his tree roots. I've been in this godforsaken place for three whole years, and I've experienced hundreds of battles, big and small, and it's always the same. He uses his tree roots to hold me back while he sneaks up on the others."
Yan Chixia threw his sword to the ground, his face filled with despair and loneliness.
Even if you fight the Tree Demon Granny thousands or tens of thousands of times, you still can't find her true form.
"How about we forget about it? With my abilities, I can live a carefree life anywhere. You should go do whatever you need to do, instead of wasting time here."
"What a waste! Since we're here, there's no reason for us to leave empty-handed."
Xu Long snorted and took out a roast chicken from his spatial ring. "Have something to eat first. It's Old Eight's secret recipe; it tastes amazing."
" Old Eight's Secret Recipe?"
For some reason, Yan Chixia felt a bit nauseous after hearing those words.
The roast chicken tasted pretty good, tender and fragrant, but it was a little cold.
"Who is this Old Eight? His profits are pretty good!"
"Yes, he's a famous chef from my hometown."
Xu Long nodded noncommittally, then took out another spatial ring from his spatial ring and pulled out the altar from it.
Seeing these strange things, Yan Chixia asked, "What do you want to do?"
"I'll perform a ritual to kill that tree spirit. I'm not entirely confident I can do it, but it's always good to try. You protect me and guard against any potential attacks."
Xu Long said something, then tore off a piece of skin and began drawing talismans.
The Tree Demon Granny's cultivation was at the Spirit Severing Stage, a whole major level higher than his.
Furthermore, her physical form was enormous, and Xu Long didn't know if he could kill her.
But as he said, there's no harm in giving it a try.
If you can kill him, great; if you can't, then forget it.
The Curse Talisman was drawn and then placed on the table.
An invisible wave spread outwards, then locked onto the section of tree root on the altar.
This was cut down by Yan Chixia before. With this piece of tree root, Xu Long could cast a curse on the Tree Demon Granny.
Whether it will succeed or not depends on the fate of the Tree Demon Granny.
If she's lucky, the Tree Demon Granny might escape unscathed. If she's unlucky, she'll be reduced to ashes.
"What kind of talisman is this? Why does it make my heart pound just by looking at it?"
Yan Chixia's face was solemn.
