A Fierce Battle Against the Wood Demon!
Faced with Shi Jian's thunderous attack.
The Wood Demon remained completely unmoved, and even seemed about to laugh...
Its cap trembled slightly.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh--!
Thousands upon thousands of green spores, each the size of a walnut, shot out like a torrential rain. Each spore possessed terrifying penetrating power, tearing the air apart with a sharp whistling sound.
"Careful, it's highly poisonous!"
Sun Yao dodged, then quickly warned him.
Shi Kejian didn't dodge at all. He had absolute confidence in his tortoise shell. With the Thunder-Shrouding Mystic Armor layered on his flesh, even False Core wouldn't be able to hurt him so easily.
After all, while the False Core Realm is indeed superior to the Foundation Establishment, it is not a true Golden Core; how can their power levels be compared?
Shi Jian shielded his head and face with his arms, remaining as immovable as a mountain as the rain of spores pelted his Thunder-Shrouding Mystic Armor!
Jingle bells!
A series of rapid metallic clanging sounds rang out, sparks flying everywhere.
The Xuanjia's defensive capabilities were astonishing; most spores were deflected directly, but a few still exploded on the armor plates...
The splashed dark green venom made a sizzling, corrosive sound.
A sweet, fishy smell filled the air, and Shi Jian felt dizzy. He was indeed tough, but this poison was really difficult to deal with.
This poison is truly ruthless!
Taking advantage of the moment when Shi Jian was blocked by the spore rain...
The Wood Demon' second wave of attacks had already begun.
At that moment, the ground throughout the entire valley was shaking violently.
Countless mycelial vines, as thick as water buckets, burst forth from the earth like awakened giant pythons, lashing out at Shi Jian from all directions!
The vines were covered with strange, emerald-green patterns, emanating a powerful, binding force...
"Get out of here!"
Shi Jian swung his bear paw, unleashing bursts of lightning that instantly snapped several attacking vines in two.
But at the broken ends of those vines, a flash of green light appeared, and they instantly healed, becoming even thicker and more troublesome!
In the blink of an eye.
Shi Jian was tightly bound by dozens of vines and unable to move.
A terrifying pressure came from all directions, causing the Thunder-Shrouding Mystic Armor to creak and crackle, with countless arcs of electricity shooting out from the joints of the armor plates!
"Ancestor!"
Upon seeing this, Sun Yao's heart tightened. Without the slightest hesitation, she quickly formed hand Hand Seals.
"Clouds Rise!"
With a clear shout, her spiritual energy surged, and large swaths of white mist appeared out of thin air, quickly enveloping an area of a hundred feet in radius.
This is no ordinary fog, but rather "Cloud Mist Qi" formed from her pure spiritual power, capable of obscuring vision and disrupting spiritual energy.
Immediately afterwards, she pointed her fingers like a sword towards the trapped Shi Jian.
"Clouds Roll!"
From within the thick fog, a cloud tornado formed from high-density water vapor roared out, like a spinning blade, slashing fiercely at the vines binding the Shi Jian.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle--!
The cloud tornado spun rapidly, rubbing wildly against the tough vines, stirring up large amounts of green sap, creating a truly turbulent scene!
The veins on the vines suddenly glowed bright green, fiercely resisting the cutting.
The Wood Demon's indifferent gaze finally shifted from Shi Jian and landed on Sun Yao, that little bug...
Even more annoying!
Its cap slightly sank, and an invisible force locked onto Sun Yao.
From the depths of the pool, a jet of emerald green water shot skyward with incredible speed, silently hurtling towards Sun Yao's brow.
The water arrow contains terrifying power capable of piercing through mountains!
"Not good!" Sun Yao's pupils shrank sharply. All her attention was focused on controlling the cloud tornado, and she had no time to defend herself.
At this critical moment...
"Roar--!!!"
A deafening roar from a bear exploded out.
Bound tightly by the vines, Shi Jian suddenly arched his back to its limit, his muscles bulging and veins popping out.
On the Thunder-Shrouding Mystic Armor, all the thunder patterns lit up to their peak at the same time!
"Open the gate for me!"
Boom--!!!
An indescribable surge of Violent Thunder erupted from his body.
Lightning and Demon Power intertwined, forming a devastating thunderstorm, with purple electricity instantly sweeping across the surroundings!
Those seemingly indestructible vines were snapped, torn apart, and crushed by countless bolts of lightning at this moment!
The moment of breaking free from constraints.
Shi Jian quickly returned to the rescue, using his body to create a barrier for Sun Yao, and then his back was rammed into the water arrow!
Bang!
A deafening roar, like a mountain collapsing.
The emerald green water arrow struck the back armor of the Thunder-Shrouding Mystic Armor squarely.
Shi Jian was struck as if by a heavy blow; the entire bear was blasted away and then crashed heavily into the distant mountainside, creating a huge crater...
"Puff!"
A mouthful of blood mixed with pieces of internal organs spurted from his mouth.
On the back armor, the Mystic Magnetite that served as the core of the formation had developed a tiny crack, and a penetrating wound had appeared next to it!
Shi Jian is injured.
Fortunately, Sun Yao was safe and sound; it's a good thing she didn't die.
"Ancestor!" Sun Yao's eyes reddened, her heart aching beyond measure.
"Girl, concentrate!"
"A life-or-death struggle often hinges on a single moment."
Shi Jian climbed up from the rubble, his voice hoarse but carrying an undeniable authority, his eyes burning with fighting spirit!
"Destroy its foundation! Don't worry about me!"
Sun Yao gritted her teeth; she knew this wasn't the time to be sentimental.
In just a moment, her eyes became incredibly resolute!
The next moment.
A jade talisman, about the size of a palm, slowly floated before my eyes.
The jade talisman was pure white, with extremely intricate cloud patterns engraved on its surface. It was the life-saving trump card bestowed upon her by True Person Yun Du, and it was also a brand-new talisman treasure whose power remained intact!
"Cloudsky Heavenly Palace, by imperial decree!"
Without hesitation, she poured most of the remaining spiritual power in her body into it.
Buzz--!
The jade talisman shone brightly and soared into the sky.
In mid-air, it rapidly unfolded, transforming into a magnificent palace phantom constructed from an endless sea of clouds.
The Heavenly Palace crashed down, engulfing the entire Wood Demon and the deep pool within it!
Inside the palace, clouds and mist surged, and the pressure was as heavy as Shan Yue. Countless chains formed from the clouds reached out from all directions, locking onto the wisp of Heaven and Earth Qi that was being refined!
This is a trapping formation, and also a killing formation!
The Wood Demon emitted its first emotional fluctuation, similar to "anger."
It abandoned its restraint on Shi Jian, and green light shot up from the cap, resisting the suppressive power of "Cloudsky Heavenly Palace".
Chance!
A fierce glint flashed in Shi Jian's eyes, and he pounced again.
This time, he held nothing back.
"Die!"
Shi Jian roared, compressing all the Lightning Origin within his body into his right palm.
At this moment, his entire bear paw seemed to transform into a ball of lightning, the silvery-white electric light so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it.
He leaped high into the air, like a falling thunderbolt, and crashed down hard into the center of the Wood Demon's enormous cap!
Faced with this devastating attack, the Wood Demon let out a sharp, soul-piercing cry.
The blurry human figure beneath its cap suddenly stretched out a giant hand made of pure wood spirit energy to meet Shi Jian's thunderous palm!
Boom--!!!
Lightning and wood, two completely different forces, collided in their most extreme form.
The entire Gloomy Cloud Valley shook violently, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.
The phantom of "Cloudsky Heavenly Palace" flickered wildly, and countless cloud chains crumbled inch by inch.
Sun Yao's face was ashen, her spiritual power drained instantly, but she gritted her teeth, even at the cost of overdrawing her own life force!
Shi Jian, on the other hand, was blasted away again in that terrifying clash of energy.
His right palm was a bloody mess, with the white bones clearly visible. The armor plates on his right arm, Thunder-Shrouding Mystic Armor, were completely shattered and turned to dust.
The Wood Demon was also in dire straits, its energy chaotic and on the verge of collapse...
Both sides suffer heavy losses!
