Long Ming held his sword in one hand as he strode through the air. His face was filled with murderous intent. Lu Xuan and the others followed closely behind. As soon as Long Ming made his move, they would immediately respond.
At this moment, the Tree Spirit attacked once again. Its target was Long Ming, who was at the forefront. Facing the Tree Spirit's attack, Long Ming appeared to be fearless. With a loud shout, he slashed down on the Tree Spirit's arm. Feeling the pain, the Tree Spirit quickly retracted its branches. The other cultivators took the opportunity to advance once again.
Seeing the crowd of martial artists approach, the Tree Monster finally reached the end of its patience. Ruo Xiangyi felt a familiar energy transmit to her. The White Peony's rate of life force absorption was restrained once more. Clearly, although the Tree Monster could not completely stop the White Peony's absorption, it could stop it for a short time, allowing it to erupt with its true strength.
In the blink of an eye, the tree spirit had absorbed a great deal of life force. Countless branches spread out once more, forming into four thick arms. The six arms reached out to grab the crowd. It was a frightening sight to behold. Having learned their lesson from the mistakes of the previous battle, many of the cultivators felt fear in their hearts. It was as if the bloody corpse of the Jiuhua Alliance disciple was still in front of them.
"Asura – Tyrannical Slaughter!" At this moment, Long Ming had no intention of retreating. In the face of the Tree Spirit's fierce attack, he chose to take it head-on. Once again, the Asura Sword Style was unleashed!
The smell of blood permeated the air. Long Ming's move seemed to have brought forth the slaughtering aura of the Asura World. Countless sword shadows danced in the air, layer upon layer of sword shadows. In an instant, it was unknown how many swords slashed on the tree demon's arm.
Ka ka ka!
A crisp sound rang out. The crowd was shocked to find that the Tree Spirit's six arms had all been broken by Long Ming's powerful attack!
Seeing this, Lu Xuan's eyes lit up. This was the perfect opportunity. With Ruo Xiangyi restraining the Tree Spirit, it would be impossible for the Tree Spirit to recover in a short amount of time.
At that moment, Lu Xuan shouted, "Go! Kill it! "
All of the warriors at the peak of the Spirit Ascension Realm present were smart people, and they all saw the opportunity at hand. As soon as Lu Xuan said that, no one hesitated. They all charged at the tree demon in unison, throwing all kinds of martial arts techniques at the same spot. If they could cut the tree demon in half in an instant, they would be able to keep it there forever, and it would never be able to escape again.
This time, Long Ming didn't attack again, and only stared at the tree demon with a pair of slightly red eyes. For the sake of executing this attack earlier, he'd exhausted an enormous amount of Origin Energy, and he only hoped that the others would be able to put up a good fight and settle this once and for all.
At this moment, the Tree Demon also sensed that something was wrong and immediately wanted to slip away. However, in the end, it still couldn't bear to part with its body. It didn't directly hide in the depths of the ground, but controlled its body to quickly escape. When it recovered, it would definitely give the martial artists a devastating revenge blow.
However, the group of Soul Refinement Pinnacle Stage cultivators was still faster than it. They used all kinds of movement techniques to catch up to the tree demon, and countless martial skills rained down on it.
In the blink of an eye, a large hole had been punched in the tree demon's body. A few more attacks would be enough to cut the tree demon in half!
But at this moment, a ring of branches suddenly grew from the tree demon's body, and in an instant, all the martial artists were repelled! Everyone's expression changed. They didn't expect that at this critical moment, the tree demon would force them away!
"It's going to escape!"
"Just a little bit more!"
The martial artists cried out unwillingly. One more wave of attacks, and the tree demon would die without a doubt. They couldn't help but look at Long Ming. If Long Ming could still attack, the tree demon still wouldn't be able to escape.
Unfortunately, Long Ming's Asura Tyrannical Kill had consumed too much of his energy. At this moment, he was powerless to pursue.
"Long Ming, if you beg me, perhaps I can help you kill it." Lin Zeyu, who had been watching from the back, finally spoke up with a smile on his face.
"Junior Brother Lin, don't let your emotions affect your decisions. Once we kill the tree demon, we can all leave this place," a Jiuhua Alliance disciple hurriedly said.
Lin Zeyu pursed his lips. "What does that have to do with me? Aren't you all very capable? If you have the ability, go kill this tree demon yourself! If Long Ming doesn't beg me, I won't attack today no matter what. "
As he spoke, the tree demon hurried away with its broken body. Even in this critical moment, it didn't want to give up its body so easily. Although it seemed to be heavily injured, it only needed a little more time, and it would immediately recover to its original state!
Lu Xuan had been waiting for Lin Zeyu to attack. In his opinion, even if Lin Zeyu had some conflict with Long Ming, he should still be able to distinguish between right and wrong. He didn't expect Lin Zeyu to be so stubborn and refuse to attack.
Seeing that the tree demon was about to escape, Lu Xuan sighed inwardly. It seemed that he couldn't hide his strength in the end. Between hiding his strength and killing the tree demon, which was more important? Lu Xuan undoubtedly chose the latter. If Lin Zeyu attacked, it would naturally save him a lot of trouble, but unfortunately, the heavens didn't grant his wishes.
In an instant, Lu Xuan's eyes became focused. His entire aura suddenly disappeared into thin air, and the Dusty Sword in his hand had completely fused with him.
Unity of Man and Nature!
The people who were anxiously waiting for Lin Zeyu to attack only felt their vision blur, as if a figure had rushed out. They couldn't help but look back.
"Lu Xuan?"
"The strength of the sixth tier of the Spirit Refinement realm?"
"Isn't he courting death?!"
When they saw that the person who rushed out was Lu Xuan, they couldn't help but shout. Let's not talk about whether or not Lu Xuan could catch up to the tree demon. Even if he did, with the tree demon's strength, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to kill a martial artist in the sixth tier of the Spirit Refinement realm?
This was also the reason why they didn't dare to give chase. First, they couldn't catch up, and second, they didn't have full confidence that they could deal with the tree demon even if they caught up. For a moment, no one paid any attention to Lin Zeyu. Instead, they focused their attention on Lu Xuan.
"His speed … seems a little fast?" Very soon, someone noticed Lu Xuan's abnormal speed. He was almost like a ray of light, shooting straight toward the tree demon. With such a fast speed, it wasn't impossible for him to catch up to the tree demon.
"So what if he's fast? He's just going to die! "Lin Zeyu smiled coldly. This Lu Xuan dared to steal his limelight. He deserved to die!
Although many people had the same idea as Lin Zeyu, such as Xiang Tao and Leng Qingqiu, no one agreed with him now. He clearly had the strength to keep the tree demon, but he refused to make a move. In comparison, Lu Xuan's "overconfident" behavior was much more adorable than Lin Zeyu's.
"He caught up!" A martial artist suddenly spoke. For a moment, everyone couldn't help but feel nervous. Could Lu Xuan kill this tree demon? Or would he be killed by the tree demon?
Although they felt that the possibility of the former was very slim, they couldn't help but have a trace of fantasy.
Looking at the tree demon that was close at hand, Lu Xuan's mind was calm. Nothing could disturb him. At this time, the tree demon's body had already grown some branches, twisting around to capture Lu Xuan. However, Lu Xuan didn't care at all. In his eyes, there was only the huge gap on the tree demon's body. He only needed one sword strike to completely cut it off!
"Unity of Man and Nature!" Lu Xuan roared. Both his hands tightly grasped the Masked Dust Sword's hilt. In an instant, the Masked Dust Sword's array was activated, and he suddenly slashed down.
The branches that tried to capture Lu Xuan were easily cut off by the sword qi. It didn't affect him in the slightest, and the powerful sword strike had already slashed straight at the gap on the tree demon's body!
"Boom!"
An earth-shattering sound rang out. This giant tree that had taken a lot of the tree demon's energy to condense finally broke into two. The upper half of the giant tree lost its support and suddenly fell down, as if a person had been cut in half at the waist.
Success!
Just as Lu Xuan was pleasantly surprised, he saw a ball of green light flash in front of his eyes, falling straight to the ground. Lu Xuan's eyes and hands were sharp. In a flash, he moved forward and grabbed the palm-sized green crystal in his hand.
The moment he held the green crystal, Lu Xuan felt a surge of life force contained within it. Without a doubt, this was definitely a very valuable treasure.
"Could this be the legendary essence of wood?" Lu Xuan secretly guessed, but he didn't think too much about it. He directly stuffed it into his storage ring. This was a treasure obtained after killing the tree demon. Compared to the strange stone he had obtained from killing the Vampire Vine, it was undoubtedly more valuable.
Lu Xuan's movements were covered by the dust on the ground. No one saw it, so he wasn't worried about others knowing that he had obtained a good treasure.
On the other hand, the martial artists were completely dumbfounded. Even Lin Zeyu's face was full of disbelief. They only saw Lu Xuan shoot out a powerful sword qi and cut the tree demon in half at the waist with one strike. It was a clean and neat move, without the slightest bit of sloppiness.
Although they had this hope in the beginning, it was still a little hard to believe when it really became a reality.
"That tree demon … is dead?" A martial artist murmured.
"It should be dead. Lu Xuan's attack was too powerful. It was killed instantly. I don't think the tree demon could escape in time." A martial artist answered uncertainly.
"How can a martial artist in the sixth tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm have such a high explosive power? If it were me, it would take at least three strikes to cut the tree demon in half. But this amount of time is long enough for him to escape. " A martial artist at the peak of the Spirit Refinement Realm said doubtfully. Lu Xuan's sword had left a deep impression on him.
As they spoke, the martial artists had already flown to the final battle site. Now that the giant tree had been destroyed, even if the tree demon was not dead, it would not pose any threat to them. Moreover, the tree demon was most likely dead.
"Very good, you did well. I couldn't tell that you actually hid such deep strength." Long Ming patted Lu Xuan's shoulder and said. At this moment, the red in the corner of his eyes had gradually faded. It seemed that his strength had recovered a little.
After saying that, Long Ming looked at Lin Zeyu indifferently and said, "Some people shouldn't think too highly of themselves."
Just now, Lin Zeyu was full of confidence that he was the only one who had the strength to kill the tree demon, so he took the opportunity to force Long Ming to beg him. However, he did not expect Lu Xuan to come out of nowhere and kill the tree demon with a single sword strike.
