In the courtyard at the center of the main hall, Su Zimo had just helped Momo down when he sensed a commotion behind him.
"Hmm?"
Su Zimo swept his gaze and was enraged!
At that moment, the entire place was in chaos. The immortality peach tree in the courtyard extended countless branches towards him and Momo.
The immortality peach tree wanted to absorb Momo's blood as well!
Su Zimo conjured a sword art and slashed in reverse.
Pfft!
Dozens of branches were severed from the middle.
Scarlet blood splattered out from the branches of the immortality peach tree!
A terrifying wail of pain could be heard from the immortality peach tree, as though ghosts were wailing.
Under the nourishment of Momo's blood, the immortality peach tree was gradually gaining sentience.
"How dare you act so brazenly, demon tree!"
Su Zimo's expression was cold as he prepared to uproot the immortality peach tree.
Momo, who was initially in his embrace, tugged at his sleeves gently and whispered, "Leave it to me, young master."
"You?"
Su Zimo frowned slightly. He was worried when he saw Momo's weakened state.
Momo did not reply. She struggled to stand up and extended her arms.
Suddenly, all 10 of his fingers transformed into peach tree branches and extended towards the immortality peach tree, piercing into its body instantly!
Momo closed her eyes and channeled her Dao art, murmuring softly, "You've consumed so much of my blood over the years. It's time for you to pay me back."
He was robbing the life essence of the immortality peach tree!
Wu! Wu!
Wu! The immortality peach tree swayed wildly and its body swayed. A shriek could be heard from its body as though it was resisting.
As time passed by, the trunk and branches of the immortality peach tree started to wither.
On the other hand, Tao Yao's condition gradually recovered. The flesh on his body also became plump, and his face regained some color.
Poof! Poof! Poof!
At this moment, the blood peaches on the Peach Tree of Immortality shattered one after another, and blood essence scattered all over the place.
The Heavenly Peach Tree's aura surged, and it wanted to use the blood essence to counterattack. It wanted to devour Momo's bloodline and life essence!
Momo's body swayed and she almost fell.
He channeled his Dao technique and disappeared. A peach tree appeared on the spot, just like the one in the courtyard in Ping Yang Town.
All these years, he had been imprisoned and bound. His physical condition was too poor.
Su Zimo secretly frowned and prepared to intervene at any time to interrupt the process.
If worse came to worst, he would just destroy the peach tree!
The two sides were in a deadlock for a while.
Suddenly!
Under the peach tree that Momo had transformed into, a blurry figure appeared. Her facial features could not be seen, but she could vaguely tell that it was a woman. She was wearing a blood-red robe, which was somewhat dazzling.
Su Zimo shuddered.
In his daze, he seemed to have returned to that night in Ping Yang Town in Tianhuang Mainland. The moonlight was like water and peach blossoms fell one after another. The woman stood under the peach tree with a haze around her like a fairy that had descended to the mortal realm.
It was that night when the woman imparted the Dao beneath the peach tree and brought him into the path of cultivation.
Momo was enlightened by Die Yue and gained sentience. At that critical moment, her Dao techniques converged and revealed what happened that night!
Although Die Yue did not reveal her true appearance and merely had her back facing the Peach Tree not far away, the moment her figure appeared, the Dao techniques around the Peach Tree of Immortality collapsed instantly!
A whimper sounded from within the Peach Tree of Immortality before it went completely silent – it had given up resisting.
Swoosh!
A massive amount of life essence surged into Momo's body endlessly.
Momo's aura was rising rapidly.
However, the Peach Tree of Immortality was aging rapidly and its leaves were yellow, falling one after another in a lifeless manner.
On the battlefield in midair, Song Xuan sensed the commotion in the center of the hall and suddenly recalled that he still had a hostage on his side.
Since Araki Takeshi of the Fiend Domain was willing to come here alone for Momo, it was clear that the Dao child was extremely important to him.
If he could capture Momo, it would be equivalent to grabbing hold of the Dao child's Achilles' heel!
However, right now, his and Young Master Lantian's qi bodies were completely locked onto by Wu Dao's true body. They did not even dare to be distracted, let alone escape.
He could only give orders and direct the others.
"Jiang Xuanyou, hurry and go capture that Dao child!"
Song Xuan shouted loudly. However, he was still fixated on Wu Dao's true body, afraid that the latter would suddenly attack him.
Jiang Xuanyou and the others understood and turned hurriedly, charging towards Momo.
"Humph!"
Wu Dao's true body swept his gaze and channeled his Essence Spirit, conjuring hand seals repeatedly.
Whoosh!
Whoosh! Suddenly, scarlet flames burst out from the bodies of Jiang Xuanyou and the other Perfected Immortals. They spread from the inside out and instantly engulfed their bodies.
"Ahhh!"
Everyone clawed at their bodies and let out shrill cries.
Some of them hurriedly released their mystic arts.
However, the power of the mystic arts spread and instead fueled the flames. Scarlet flames continuously spewed out from their mouths, noses, eyes, and ears.
In the blink of an eye, human-shaped fireballs appeared in the hall.
In a few breaths' time, someone had already been burned to death, leaving behind a strange scarlet lotus imprint.
"Red Lotus Hellfire!"
Song Xuan exclaimed with an ugly expression when he saw the imprint.
Of course, most of the Perfected Immortals relied on their cultivation base, condensed their True Essence, and activated their Dao Fruits to resist the impact of the Red Lotus Hellfire.
However, they were too busy fending for themselves and no one cared about Momo anymore.
Gu Xiu looked at the scene of flames and corpses strewn all over the hall and was already frightened to the point of retreating.
The moment that thought crossed his mind, his eyelids twitched and he felt a strong sense of danger!
"Not good! “
Gu Xiu's heart skipped a beat. He did not have time to think and turned Solitary Cloud Peak to block in front of him.
Indeed, Wu Dao's true body had already charged over.
Boom!
Against Solitary Cloud Peak, Wu Dao's true body did not dodge and raised his hand to throw a punch!
Although he was separated by Solitary Cloud Peak, Gu Xiu could still sense the immense and shocking divine power that burst forth from Wu Dao's true body's punch!
Solitary Cloud Peak was a Pure Yang spirit treasure after all and neutralized most of the power of Wu Dao's true body's punch.
Even so, Gu Xiu's body shuddered and his arms went numb – he had already lost all feeling.
Just as he was about to escape, Wu Dao's true body's second punch descended!
Boom!
Helpless, Gu Xiu could only continue to support Solitary Cloud Peak and withstand the second wave of impact.
Boom!
The blood qi in Wu Dao's true body surged like a tidal wave and attacked once more.
The third punch arrived!
When this punch landed on Solitary Cloud Peak, Wu Dao's true body did not stay any longer. He turned around and left, not even looking at Gu Xiu again.
Gu Xiu pushed Solitary Cloud Peak with both hands and stood frozen in midair, motionless.
The man and the peak seemed to be still.
The next moment, Gu Xiu's gaze dimmed and the lifeforce in his body drained rapidly. The tendons and bones in his body were broken and his organs were already shattered. His lifeforce was already severed and his Essence Spirit in his consciousness was extinguished. He died on the spot!
The man and the peak fell down.
Three punches!
Even with the Pure Yang Spirit Treasure of nine tribulations blocking, Gu Xiu still could not withstand three punches and died on the spot!
