The White Peony Tree was a unique secret technique of the Peony Palace, how could it be so easily broken? Unless one used a far greater amount of spirit energy than the caster, the White Peony could not be destroyed or even locked down.
Now the tree monster was facing this situation. Its countless branches constantly swept over the White Peony, but they could not touch it at all. It could only watch helplessly as the White Peony slowly floated towards it.
As it floated, the crystal clear White Peony steadily landed on the top of the tree monster's head. It looked as if a peony had suddenly grown on the top of the tree monster's head.
Seeing that White Peony had successfully landed on the tree demon, Ruoyi's hand seals suddenly changed. The other women behind her also changed their hand seals at the same time. The core caster was Ruoyi, and she was the only one who had truly grasped this secret skill. The other women were only there to support her, providing her with sufficient elemental energy.
As Seemingly Interdependence's hand seals changed, the tree monster instantly became incomparably manic. Waves of angry roars came from its body, and it seemed quite angry. This was because it could clearly feel that its vitality was constantly being absorbed by this small White Peony!
Vitality was the source of the tree monster's strength. In this forest it formed, as long as there was enough vitality, it was almost an immortal existence. But now Seemingly Interdependence was forcibly stealing its vitality, this was undoubtedly killing it slowly.
With the constant loss of vitality, the originally vibrant body of the tree monster couldn't help but become a bit dispirited. The tree monster had no choice but to once again extract vitality from its roots in order to maintain its strength.
But this was just drinking poison to quench its thirst. Unless the tree monster gave up on the giant tree it had fused with and retreated into the depths of its roots, its vitality would only continue to be lost.
In order to fuse with this tree, it had consumed a great deal of the tree monster's spirit energy. If it gave up like this, it would lose at least half of its cultivation. This was hundreds of years of accumulation, how could it be willing to give up like this? Now that things had come to this, the tree monster had no other choice but to fight.
It had to kill all the martial artists present before its vitality was sucked out! This was the only way it could make up for its loss and vent its hatred!
At this moment, the tree monster ignored the White Peony that had taken root on its head and instantly raised its speed to the maximum, directly rushing towards the martial artists.
"Meet the enemy!" Long Ming shouted. He could clearly see that the Tree Demon was already panicking. They only needed to stall for time. If they could, the White Peony would most likely cause great damage to the Tree Demon.
"Whoosh whoosh!" The sound of something tearing through the air could be heard. Countless black vines suddenly shot towards them. They were actually Vampire Vines. Clearly, these Vampire Vines were also controlled by the treant.
Squeak squeak squeak squeak! The Vampiric Vine emitted an unpleasant sound that made people's teeth ache. It waved its vines that carried sharp thorns and rapidly wrapped around the group. Once the thorns pierced into their flesh, the Vampiric Vine would definitely suck out a portion of their blood.
But at this moment, all the disciples had already reached a consensus to fight side by side. They were determined to exterminate the Tree Demon here. They did not hold back at all as they all used their best martial techniques, chopping down all the Vampire Vines that were rushing over, not giving it a single chance to approach.
At this time, the Tree Demon used the same trick again. Several giant logs suddenly appeared and swept towards the martial artists without warning. The dull whistling sound of the wind was proof of the great power of this attack. Before, it was this attack that forced everyone to dodge again and again. This gave the Tree Demon the opportunity to attack, resulting in a lot of casualties.
"I'll deal with it! You guys attack its main body! "At the crucial moment, as the strongest person present, Long Ming stepped forward bravely once again.
Only to see Long Ming brandishing his longsword. Boundless essence energy circulated, and several streaks of snow-white sword light shot out, directly meeting the tree demon's attack. A huge explosion sounded out, and the giant wood shot by the tree demon was actually forcefully shattered by Long Ming!
The formidable strength that Long Ming displayed could be said to have greatly inspired all the martial artists. At least it gave them hope of victory. Moreover, the Tree Demon was not as invincible as they had imagined.
Taking advantage of the moment when Long Ming broke the Tree Demon's attack, all the peak Soul Refinement martial artists roared and rushed towards the Tree Demon. At this time, if they didn't take the initiative to attack, how could they win?
In the air, a group of demonic dancing branches attacked again, wanting to block the martial artists' advance. But with the endless flash of sword qi, the branches were suddenly cut off, powerlessly falling to the ground.
Seeing this, a brilliant light flashed in Ruo Xiangyi's eyes. She turned her hand seals again and instantly pushed her essence energy to the extreme. The White Peony on top of the Tree Demon flashed with an intense light, suddenly increasing the absorption of the Tree Demon's life force. At the same time, a green light was emitted from the White Peony and entered the bodies of all the martial artists.
Everyone felt a powerful life force instantly replenish themselves. Suddenly, their bodies were filled with essence energy, as if they had an inexhaustible strength. Their spirits were roused and they rushed towards the Tree Demon at an even faster speed.
This was the strength of the Peony Palace's secret technique. Not only could it steal the enemy's strength, but it could also be used to feed it back to the user. Under this situation, the Tree Demon's situation became even more unbearable.
The martial artists were like locusts, instantly rushing in front of the Tree Demon's huge body. One martial skill after another smashed into its body. Although the size of the two sides was not on the same order of magnitude, the attacks that were sent out were not something that the Tree Demon could easily resist. Moreover, with the White Peony constantly weakening the Tree Demon, it was simply unable to display its peak strength. Even its defensive power had dropped by a lot.
Pieces of bark were cut off by the martial artists, revealing the trunk. For the Tree Demon, the bark was its skin and the trunk was its flesh. At this moment, the martial artists' actions were undoubtedly peeling off its skin and digging out its flesh.
After suffering such a heavy blow, the Tree Demon's body suddenly trembled violently. A series of muffled roars came out, appearing incomparably angry. Branches began to grow again, but the speed was far less than before.
At this moment, the Tree Demon had a feeling that it could not exert its strength. Even if it continued to provide itself with life force through its roots, the existence of the White Peony greatly reduced the effect. No matter how much life force it provided, at least half of it would be absorbed by the White Peony. If that was the case, then it would be fine. However, this half of the life force would be used by the enemy. This method was simply using its own essence and blood to strengthen the enemy.
"Concentrate your attacks on one place and cut it off!" Long Ming once again issued an order. If they wanted to keep the Tree Demon here, they had to cut off the connection between it and its roots.
Hearing this, the direction of everyone's attacks suddenly changed. They began to concentrate their attacks on the middle part of the Tree Demon. Although the Tree Demon was extremely thick, as long as they were given time, they would be able to completely cut it off sooner or later!
"Die! Die! Die! " The Tree Demon once again issued a muffled roar. The branches that it had painstakingly condensed began to twine around each other, forming two arms. From afar, the Tree Demon looked like a treant. Not only did it have legs, but it also had arms.
It had already learned its lesson. If its branches were scattered, they would be easily cut off by martial artists. It was better to combine them. This way, not only would it be able to launch a stronger attack, but it would also not be easily destroyed by martial artists.
The two large branches formed into arms fiercely swung towards the crowd. The tips of the branches were slightly spread out like five fingers, wanting to capture everyone. Facing such an attack, no one dared to face it head-on, nor did they dare to continue attacking the Tree Demon's main body. They all revolved their movement martial skills to retreat in order to ensure their own safety.
At this moment, Ruo Xiangyi's complexion suddenly changed. She sensed a powerful force suddenly erupt from the Tree Demon's body, forcibly preventing the White Peony from absorbing its life force.
She shouted a warning, "Careful, the Tree Demon is about to make a move!"
As soon as Ruo Xiangyi finished speaking, one of the Tree Demon's arms, drawing on its immense life force, suddenly elongated. It charged into the crowd of martial artists, its palm-like branches grabbing one of them!
"Junior Brother He!"
"Senior Brother He!"
The Nine Eastern Alliance disciples cried out in alarm. The one caught was a peak Soul Refinement disciple of the Alliance.
Long Ming's face fell. He tried to save the disciple, but the Tree Demon didn't give him a chance. As soon as it grabbed the disciple, the Tree Demon plunged its sharp branches into his body!
The bodies of ordinary martial artists weren't that strong. How could they deal with the Tree Demon's incomparably powerful attack? In an instant, the disciple's body was pierced by countless branches. Blood flowed freely from the wound. His internal organs had probably been pierced, and he had no chance of survival.
The Tree Demon was even more abominable. After killing the disciple, it swung its long arms and tossed the disciple's mangled body back to them.
The Nine Eastern Alliance disciples rushed to catch the corpse. Seeing it riddled with holes, they couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy. Who would've thought that a man they'd fought shoulder to shoulder with just a moment ago would be reduced to a lifeless corpse in the blink of an eye?
Although there had been many casualties since the beginning of the battle, this was the first time a cultivator at the peak of the Spirit Refinement realm had died. There was no doubt that even a cultivator at the peak of the Spirit Refinement realm could fall under the attack of the Tree Demon. This caused them to tremble with fear.
"Damned Tree Demon, I'd like to see how long you can hold out!" Long Ming's hair stood on end, and his eyes bulged. Powerful Yuan power swirled around his body, and his robes fluttered despite the absence of wind. His disheveled hair added a touch of madness to his appearance.
"Everyone, follow me! Let's do this!" Long Ming's roar jolted the martial artists to their senses. Lu Xuan's heart trembled. Long Ming was about to go berserk. Fine, I'll take this opportunity to end this Tree Demon! Otherwise, Lu Xuan wasn't sure if he'd be the next to die.
