Ruo Xiangyi's words drew everyone's attention. The disciples of the Jiuhua Alliance had long since noticed her beauty. Even when they had nothing to do, they would steal a few glances at her. This was especially true now that they had a legitimate reason to stare at her.
"A bodhi seed falls from the heavens, and a white peony grows from the earth. Our Peony Palace was founded on this sacred white peony. After so many years, we have evolved some martial techniques from it." Ruo Xiangyi slowly explained. "My sisters and I can use the Peony Regeneration Technique to have a white peony grow on the tree spirit and absorb its life force. Although we cannot drain the tree spirit of its life force with our current strength, we can steal its life force to a certain extent. At the very least, we can delay its regeneration."
"That's good!" Long Ming's lips curved in a smile. Lu Xuan's question had hit the nail on the head. He had pointed out the tree spirit's greatest strength. Ruo Xiangyi and the others had a way to restrain it. It was a perfect match.
"In a moment, we will use fire as the first round. Me and the others will create opportunities for you to attack. You must take advantage of this opportunity to injure the tree spirit. It would be best if you could kill it. If not, then the disciples of the Peony Palace will extract the tree spirit's life force. Then, we will take advantage of its weakness to attack and kill it!" Long Ming quickly decided on a plan of attack. The reason why he didn't let Ruo Xiangyi and the others attack first was because fire would also harm the white peony. That would be a loss of eight hundred men. Moreover, fire might not be able to kill the tree spirit.
As he finished speaking, Long Ming's eyes swept across the crowd. With a hint of seriousness, he said, "This time, no one is allowed to hold back. Killing a thousand-year tree spirit is extremely difficult. The slightest hesitation will cause it to slip away. We must kill it before it retreats. Otherwise, everything we've done will be for naught!"
"Brother Long, don't worry. We know our priorities. We won't hold back." Leng Qingqiu was the first to speak.
Xiang Tao followed suit. "That's right. This is a matter of life and death for everyone. Only by going all out will we have a chance at victory."
Long Ming nodded. "It's good that all of you understand. Prepare yourselves and listen to my orders. As for the other disciples, you should also instruct them. Once we launch the final attack, everyone must take action. The more strength we have, the more chances we have of success."
After the discussion, the news was passed down in an instant. All the cultivators present knew that the following battle would determine the outcome of the battle, or even life and death. Everyone gripped their weapons tightly.
After such a long time, the damage caused by Long Ming's attack on the Tree Demon was finally healed. Countless branches once again grew on the thick tree trunk, and they looked even thicker and more powerful than before. Obviously, the Tree Demon was completely enraged and brought out its strongest strength.
This time, the Tree Demon had learned its lesson. It could see that among all the cultivators present, the strongest was Long Ming. Therefore, without the slightest hesitation, all of its branches rapidly extended and uniformly surrounded Long Ming.
A few extremely thick branches stretched taut and pierced towards Long Ming at an unparalleled speed, as if they were going to pierce through him in an instant. Some other branches were like long whips, whistling through the air as they ruthlessly lashed towards Long Ming. Even more branches surrounded Long Ming from all directions, as if they were going to close the door and beat the dog.
From afar, it looked as if the countless arms of the Tree Demon wanted to tightly wrap around Long Ming. Such a concentrated attack caused all the cultivators present to feel numb. The Tree Demon had used all of its methods on Long Ming at the same time. If it was any one of them, they would undoubtedly die in this situation.
"Everyone, attack with me! Prepare the fire-attribute martial skills! " Long Ming shouted angrily. In the face of the concentrated attack of the Tree Demon, he did not dare to be negligent. The reason why he could destroy all the branches of the Tree Demon at once before was that the Tree Demon's attack was too scattered, which gave him the opportunity to destroy them one by one. Now that the Tree Demon had concentrated its attack, it would be difficult for Long Ming to do the same.
The gathered Peak Spirit Refinement cultivators answered Long Ming's words with their attacks. With a series of shouts, the surrounding Yuan Qi suddenly became extremely chaotic and violent. Each of them was a powerful cultivator, and now that they attacked at the same time, they almost drained all the Yuan Qi in the surroundings. If it was not for the fact that the Yuan Qi in the ancient secret realm was extremely rich, it might not have been able to provide so much Yuan Qi.
In the blink of an eye, countless attacks exploded at the same time. When nearly forty peak Spirit Refinement cultivators exploded with their full strength, it was extremely terrifying. Before, they were all fighting individually, so they held back their trump cards. But now that everyone had decided to work together, there was naturally no need to hide anything.
In addition, many of the Nine Eastern Alliance's cultivators were at the Origin Realm. In an instant, their attacks directly broke through the Tree Demon's blockade. Countless broken branches were sent flying, raining down to the ground.
The sudden burst of power from the cultivators had probably stunned the Tree Demon. Before, it had relied on its countless branches to play around with the cultivators. Now that the group of experts had banded together, it was completely caught off guard. Most of the branches that it had just condensed were directly shattered by this one attack.
"Fire attack!" Long Ming shouted the order.
Yun Qi and the other two Heavenly Thunder Manor disciples, as well as the Nine Eastern Alliance disciple, were already prepared. Taking advantage of the Tree Demon's moment of weakness, they charged forward without fear. Attacking the Tree Demon's branches was useless. As long as it was alive, as long as its foundation was still there, it wouldn't suffer any damage. Only by attacking its body, the trunk, could they truly harm it.
"Wind Fire Dragon Seal!" The Jiuhua disciple roared. His hands moved rapidly, and a series of mysterious hand seals piled on top of each other. In an instant, they formed a complete seal. He pushed his hands forward, and the hand seals transformed into a dancing dragon of fire. With a roar, it shot toward the giant treant.
The wind aided the fire, and as it flew, the fire dragon rapidly grew larger. In a flash, it arrived in front of the Tree Demon. The nearly twenty zhang long fire dragon wrapped around the Tree Demon's body, using its own scorching heat to start burning it.
At this moment, Yun Qi and the other two also began to call upon the Heavenly Thunder Fire. A clap of thunder sounded in the sky, and a violent aura appeared. In an instant, a bolt of lightning struck the Tree Demon's body, and the area that was struck immediately began to burn with the Heavenly Thunder Fire. As time passed, not only did the fire not extinguish, but it instead grew stronger and stronger. Combined with the Wind Fire Dragon Seal, the Tree Demon's entire body began to burn.
"Success!" Seeing this, the faces of the disciples in the back flashed with joy. They didn't know if they could directly burn the Tree Demon to death. Even if they couldn't burn it to death, if they could force it to give up its body, then that would be a huge victory. In order to fuse together such a huge tree, it would require a lot of the Tree Demon's energy.
