But in the blink of an eye, the dense forest in front of them had instantly fused into an incomparably huge tree demon. After fusing, the two giant trees had become its legs, and countless thick branches had become its arms. Its body was nearly three hundred feet tall, and it gave off a feeling of fear and trepidation. In front of this tree demon, the body of a martial artist seemed very small. Even if all of them were added together, they might not be as big as this tree demon.
"This big guy, can we really defeat it?" Many of the martial artists gulped as they thought to themselves.
But since things had come to this, they had no other choice but to fight. Either the tree demon would die, or they would become its fertilizer. With so many powerful martial artists around, the tree demon must be very fond of these delicacies.
In the face of this powerful Tree Demon whose strength was unknown, the martial artists did not choose to attack first. However, the Tree Demon did not have this kind of mind to confront the crowd. Its legs quickly moved in the soil, and in an instant, countless branches fiercely lashed out. It was impossible to see that this was the speed that a clumsy Tree Demon could achieve.
"Kill!" Long Ming roared angrily, boosting the morale of the martial artists. Then, he took the lead and rushed forward. The thin longsword in his hand quickly slashed out, and in an instant, dozens of the tree demon's branches were cut off. The size of the body didn't represent the strength of the tree demon. If Long Ming could use his full strength, he was confident that he could fight this tree demon alone. Unfortunately, because of the formation in the sky, he only dared to use the strength of the peak of the Refined God realm. Otherwise, he would have died before he could kill the tree demon.
Seeing that Long Ming had taken the lead, the other martial artists didn't hesitate. In this situation, no one dared to hold back. Of course, Lin Zeyu was an exception. He still stood in the distance, and didn't have the slightest intention of joining in.
The disciples of the Nine Eastern Alliance, the four fourth-rank sects, and the Vagrant Cultivators added up to more than two hundred people. All of them took out their weapons and met the tree demon's branches head-on.
For a time, all kinds of gorgeous Sword Qi and Saber Lights flashed in the air, chopping down these branches. Seeing that they could easily cut down so many branches of the Tree Demon, all the experts also felt a trace of confidence. It seemed that the strength of the Tree Demon was not as terrifying as they had imagined. If it was not so, the Tree Demon would not deliberately deal with them.
"Be careful. The tree monster definitely has more tricks up its sleeves." Lu Xuan did not let the fragility displayed by the tree monster get to his head. He still calmly reminded everyone.
And at this moment, the Tree Demon suddenly condensed a huge tree trunk. It was like a long arm, and with a move that could wipe out an army of a thousand, it forcefully smashed towards the crowd of martial artists, bringing along a violent burst of Yuan Power and the sound of wind. There was no need for a head-on collision, everyone could feel the huge force of this attack, and it was absolutely not something that anyone present could block.
"Quickly disperse!"
"Scatter and dodge!"
"Don't use brute force!"
For a time, countless shouts resounded. It was Long Ming, Yun Qi, Leng Qingqiu, and the other leaders who were warning the disciples.
However, this attack of the Tree Demon was too sudden. Moreover, the tree trunk was too thick. Many of the disciples who were at the center of the attack simply did not have the time to fly up. They could only forcefully fall down. Although the ground was also very dangerous, it was still better than being directly smashed to death by the tree trunk. Moreover, the Tree Demon might not be able to attack them from the ground in time.
But it was very obvious that they were thinking too much. In the instant that the tree trunk swept past, countless small saplings suddenly sprouted from the ground. In the blink of an eye, they grew taller. Numerous black Vampire Vines climbed onto these tree trunks, directly extending their own vines of death upwards. For a time, many of the experts who did not react in time were directly pulled by the Vampire Vines. Cries of alarm continuously rang out.
Some of the slightly calmer experts had already begun to use their weapons to chop off the Vampire Vines that were pulling them, thus escaping. As for some of the panicking experts, they were directly pulled down by the Vampire Vines. They were tightly bound by the Vampire Vines. One by one, the vines pierced into their bodies, sucking their blood.
"Senior Yang, Junior Zhao Xin has been taken away by the Vampire Vines!" A disciple beside Yang Weili cried out in alarm. It was a disciple under Su Chuanan who had been pulled by the Vampire Vines.
Hearing this, the few people who were rejoicing that they had escaped a calamity were immediately shocked. They hurriedly looked down and indeed, they saw that Zhao Xin had already been tied up by a few Vampire Vines. The blood on his face was rapidly receding, and he was making a final struggle.
Yang Weili's expression suddenly changed. He looked down hesitantly. Zhao Xin was the one who had injured his right arm earlier. Although he had just recovered for a period of time and temporarily had a certain amount of battle power, he had not fully recovered. Therefore, he was unable to cut off the Vampire Vines in time and was thus pulled away.
The reason why Yang Weili was hesitating was because he knew that in such a dangerous environment, the damage to one's strength was no different from death. Moreover, he had already fallen into such a dangerous situation. Even if he was rescued, he might not be able to continue escaping. If he were to rescue Zhao Xin, he would have to take an extremely great risk. So, should he rescue him or not?
Just as Yang Weili was struggling, he saw a figure instantly rush down, instantly rushing to Zhao Xin's side.
"Junior Lu!" Yang Weili could not help but cry out. He did not expect Lu Xuan to decisively rush down to rescue Zhao Xin without the slightest bit of hesitation. It should be known that Lu Xuan and Zhao Xin did not have a deep relationship. Even Yang Weili, as Zhao Xin's senior, was hesitant. However, Lu Xuan did not hesitate at all.
When he saw that Zhao Xin had fallen into a dangerous situation, Lu Xuan did not even think about it. He activated the Wind Riding Technique and at the same time used the Dancing Dragon and Dancing Phoenix movement technique to rush down. He knew that with every second that was delayed, this disciple's life would be in danger. Relying on his movement technique, it was extremely likely that he would be able to rescue Zhao Xin. All he needed to do was to take a small risk.
Lu Xuan was no saint. If he went down, he would undoubtedly die. He would definitely not go. However, he only needed to pay the price of taking a risk to save a disciple's life. Why would he not do it? Even if he did not have a deep relationship with Zhao Xin, he was still from the same sect.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
The Smoky Dust Sword flashed quickly. In an instant, several sword beams shot out, accurately chopping at the vines. However, they did not harm Zhao Xin in the slightest. The second array within the Smoky Dust Sword had already been activated by Lu Xuan. The sharpness of the sword far surpassed that of an ordinary low-grade Earth-step treasure. Time was of the essence. Lu Xuan did not have the time to exterminate the vines. He reached out and grabbed Zhao Xin, intending to leave.
However, at this moment, three or four spikes suddenly shot out from the ground. It seemed as if they wanted to pierce through Lu Xuan and Zhao Xin at the same time. However, Lu Xuan possessed the Wind Riding Technique. He was extremely sensitive to all movements in his surroundings. His figure flashed lightly in an instant, dodging the attack. While everyone was on tenterhooks, he had successfully rescued Zhao Xin.
"Senior, senior Lu, many thanks. Many thanks." Zhao Xin was somewhat speechless. He had thought that he would die without a doubt and was about to give up resisting. However, he did not expect that at the critical moment, Lu Xuan would arrive and rescue him.
"Rest well. It's best if you hide in the back. Your current strength is useless in battle. There is no need to throw away your life in vain." Lu Xuan said in a low voice.
At this time, Zhao Xin had finally recovered a little. He looked at Lu Xuan with gratitude and said, "Words cannot express my gratitude for saving my life. From now on, my life is yours, senior Lu."
Lu Xuan shook his head and did not speak any more nonsense. He waved his hand, indicating that Zhao Xin should hurry to a safe place.
There were many people like Lu Xuan who chose to save others. In particular, several powerful leading disciples did not hesitate to rescue the people of their own sect. Even Leng Qingqiu was no exception. Seeing this scene, Yang Weili could not help but feel a little ashamed. No wonder he could not compare to Leng Qingqiu and Lu Xuan. He really was not decisive enough.
Although there were many martial artists at the peak of the Spirit Refinement realm who chose to save others, there were still more than ten disciples who died under the attack of the Tree Demon. This was undoubtedly a huge blow to the martial artists. They had not even touched the edge of the Tree Demon and they had lost so many people on their side.
However, the Tree Demon did not stop attacking just because the martial artists had suffered heavy losses. Instead, it became even more intense and its attacks became more and more ferocious. Just now, it had swept away thousands of soldiers and successfully dispersed the group of martial artists. If they did not attack now, then when?
More thick branches split off from the huge body of the Tree Demon. Like a group of demons dancing wildly, they constantly attacked the group of martial artists. However, after suffering from the previous losses, everyone once again increased their flying altitude. This way, even if the Tree Demon did the same thing, they would not be forced to fall to a place where they could compete with the ground.
But at this moment, the group of martial artists had been dispersed. This was undoubtedly very bad news for everyone. Before, they could still join forces to fight against the Tree Demon. Some martial artists with weak strength could also rely on the protection of powerful martial artists. But now, they could only rely on themselves.
The Tree Demon seemed to have also discovered this point, only a muffled roar could be heard coming from its trunk, and countless new branches grew out from its trunk, and even more branches swung out and began to concentrate on attacking some of the lone disciples. Facing such a concentrated attack from the Tree Demon, unless one was extremely strong, they simply had no power to resist. Once again, there were casualties among the Martial Artists, and they didn't die from the sneak attack of the Tree Demon, but from the open attack of the Tree Demon.
Although the Tree Demon's attack method was slightly simple, it was so effective now. Many disciples could only watch their friends fall into danger one by one and then die, but they could do nothing about it.
