Gao Xiang had a surprised expression on his face. He couldn't figure out what was going on. Just as he was puzzled, Just as he was feeling suspicious, a human face suddenly appeared on the tree trunk. It opened its huge mouth and cried out in pain.
The tree shook violently. Two branches hung down and lifted Gao Xiang up like hands, sending him into the huge mouth.
Gao Xiang had no time to react. His body struggled violently in the air, crying out loudly. However, there was no place for him to push himself off, so he was fearless.
When Xiao Chen saw this scene, he felt it was funny. He had chopped down at least a hundred trees and had yet to meet a Tree Spirit. The moment Gao Xiang made a move, he found a Tree Spirit. He did not know if his luck was good or bad.
"Lightning Evasion!" Xiao Chen shouted and a bolt of lightning flashed beside Gao Xiang. Xiao Chen's figure appeared. The Lunar Shadow Saber flashed with a cold light as it chopped down on the two branches that were grabbing Gao Xiang.
Gao Xiang immediately landed on the ground with a furious expression on his face. A fiery-red glow burned on his huge saber as he hacked at the huge mouth of the Tree Spirit.
"Hu Chi!"
Two branches suddenly extended from the ground and grabbed Gao Xiang, who was not paying attention. They lifted him back into the air.
"Boom!" The surging saber light deviated and hacked at another tree. That tree instantly turned into a ball of fire and burned to ashes.
It was clear how horrifying the might of this saber was. However, Xiao Chen could not be bothered with him. This person was a classic example of someone who had combat prowess but lacked intelligence.
"Pu!"
A scarlet branch shot out from the huge mouth of the Tree Spirit. It pierced through the air and gave off a sonic boom. It instantly arrived in front of Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen had experienced this move before. Back then in Gloomy Forest, he could only flee. However, at this moment, it was not worth mentioning.
"Drawing the Saber!"
There was a flash of cold light. The branch that was flying at supersonic speed was chopped in half by Xiao Chen. It was fast, but Xiao Chen was faster.
"Flight On Wings, One Line Chop! Break for me!"
The light on the snow-white saber was withdrawn. Xiao Chen's figure moved quickly in the air. The few tree branches that tried to grab him all missed.
Xiao Chen brushed past the Tree Spirit. A moment later, the Tree Spirit exploded and split into two, turning back into an ordinary tree.
The Tree Spirit died and the branches on the ground that were grabbing onto Gao Xiang also fell down. Gao Xiang removed the two branches that were wrapped around his ankles and felt extremely depressed.
However, when he saw that Xiao Chen was still making his move, he had no choice but to pull himself together and stand up.
Next, the two of them used the same method to chop down the surrounding trees one by one, finding the Tree Spirits hidden in the middle one by one.
After that experience, Gao Xiang had learned his lesson. Before he attacked, he would pay attention to the branches on the ground and in the air. Only when he got close would he attack with his full strength.
Fire-attributed Essence was the nemesis of the Tree Spirits. Furthermore, with the ferocious Martial Techniques of Qianduan Peak, Gao Xiang could easily kill a Tree Spirit.
As for Xiao Chen, it was even easier. His figure disappeared without a trace in the air. The Tree Spirit's branches could not catch him at all. When he got close, he chopped them in half.
Although the Tree Spirits were hard to deal with, they were only peak Rank 4 Demonic Beasts. If they were not very secretive, they would not have much of an advantage against a Martial Saint.
With the addition of Yun Kexin and the others, after four hours, all the surrounding Tree Spirits were pulled out and eliminated one by one.
A Gangyu Peak disciple looked at the two disciples who had died first. His expression was somewhat grave, "How unfortunate, Junior Brother Wang and Senior Brother Liu, their deaths were not worth it."
Indeed, their deaths were not worth it. If they had not let their guard down, they could have avoided the sudden attack of the Tree Spirit. Unfortunately, there were no ifs in this world.
After resting for a while and recovering their Essence, the group continued on their way. This time, no one dared to disobey Yun Kexin's words. They maintained their guard at all times. After all, there was already a living example.
Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense turned into rings of light and spread out, scanning the surroundings. However, he did not discover anything. He muttered to himself, Strange, why has that black figure not appeared yet?
Never mind, it will appear eventually. I just have to keep an eye out for it, Xiao Chen thought to himself as he withdrew his Spiritual Sense.
The instant he withdrew his Spiritual Sense, a clump of black smoke appeared on the ground. A person with a pale face slowly appeared.
The black figure muttered, "What a strong perception! I was nearly discovered. I have to be more careful later. Otherwise, I will not be able to complete Master's mission."
"Big Brother, it is just a few human Martial Saints. Is there a need for us to be so vigilant?" Another nine clumps of black smoke appeared on the ground. A Shadow Demon could not help but ask.
A trace of anger flashed on the pale face of the Shadow Demon that wanted to appear the most. He scolded, "Shut up! I already said not to make a move before they meet the Scarlet Demonic Snake. You still dare to disobey my orders and control the Tree Spirit to make a move."
A horrifying killing Qi was emitted from this "person". The Shadow Demon that spoke could not help but tremble; he did not dare to say anything more.
In the dark forest, ten Shadow Fiends appeared respectfully in front of a man in blood-red clothes. However, when one looked carefully, it was not a scarlet shirt. It was clearly a layer of squirming blood. His face and body were very blurry.
The scarlet clothed man said in a hoarse voice, "I remember I said to make a move when they passed by the Scarlet Demonic Snake. I only left for a while. Who made that decision?"
One of the Shadow Demons could not help but feel fear. He knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice, "Master, I acted blindly without thinking. I wanted to capture them all and offer them to Master. It has nothing to do with Big Brother."
The scarlet clothed man said, "Never mind, give me the two corpses. You can only make a move when you reach the Scarlet Demonic Snake. Those people are not ordinary humans. If you are not confident, do not show yourself."
"Remember, in this space, for every single one of you who dies, the Lord Devil General's strength will be weakened. Your lives are for the Lord Devil General, not for yourselves."
The Shadow Demon kneeling on the ground felt like he had been pardoned. He said continuously, "Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master. These are their corpses. After we dug them out, we used a secret technique to preserve them. They are absolutely fresh."
The scarlet clothed man laughed a few times and pointed at the corpses. After a while, the blood from the corpses spurted out and returned to the scarlet clothed man's body.
A burst of red light flashed continuously and the blood on the surface of the man in blood-red clothes kept surging. The man in blood-red clothes kept gurgling.
After a while, the two corpses that were originally dead slowly stood up.
The scene was very strange. The two cultivators who were originally Heavenly Saber Pavilion core disciples looked at the scarlet clothed man. Their eyes were unfocused as they trembled and said, "Mas … ter."
"Pretty good material. It is worth it for me to spend some effort to modify you." The scarlet clothed man laughed strangely. He stretched out his hand and shot out two scarlet blood pearls at the two corpses.
"Blood Demon Secret Technique, Little Heavenly Demon Transformation!"
The scarlet blood pearls instantly merged into the two's foreheads. The originally pale faces of the two turned lustrous at a visible rate. The color in their eyes became denser and denser.
The wounds on their bodies healed up and they looked no different from a normal person. Their eyes were filled with respect as they looked at the scarlet clothed man, "Master, what instructions do you have?"
The scarlet clothed man waved his hand and said to the leader of the Shadow Demons, "I will temporarily hand over the control of these two blood corpses to you. You have to bring back all of those people.
"Especially the girl in white clothes and the man with purple light. Their corpses must be complete. They cannot be missing limbs. It would be best if they could be captured alive. "
"Yes, I promise to complete Master's instructions."
After Xiao Chen and the others dealt with the Tree Spirits, they got closer to the core area of the forest. Finally, they met with the obstruction of Demonic Beasts. However, with the help of Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense, everyone was able to prepare in advance. It was daunting but not dangerous.
Gao Xiang used his saber to take out a Rank 5 Demonic Beast Demonic Core. He revealed a satisfied expression as he smiled, "Even if we cannot kill the Demons, these Demonic Cores are enough to break even. There should be no problem exchanging them for a thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones. A peak Rank 5 Demonic Beast would be good."
The value of a Demonic Core was no less than a Spirit Core; it might even be slightly higher. Furthermore, the higher the rank of the Demonic Core, the greater the difference in value between it and a Spirit Core of the same rank.
A complete Rank 5 Demonic Core was worth a hundred Inferior Grade Spirit Stones. A peak Rank 5 Demonic Core was worth a thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones. A Rank 6 Demonic Core would be worth ten thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones.
As for a peak Rank 6 Demonic Core, its value would skyrocket to a horrifying level. It would require a hundred thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones.
However, along the way, the group only met early Rank 5 Demonic Beasts, which were equivalent to a Medial Grade Martial Saint. There were also a few Rank 5 Medial Grade Demonic Beasts. However, they did not meet any peak Rank 5 Demonic Beasts.
Mu Heng cursed, "You really jinxed it. A peak Rank 5 Demonic Beast is equivalent to an Inferior Grade Martial King. In this space, its strength would increase explosively. At the very least, it would be equal to a Medial Grade Martial King.
"If we really meet one, it would be a problem if we can escape unscathed. You want to kill it? You must be tired of living."
Gao Xiang put away the Demonic Core and smiled embarrassedly, "I was just joking. We will not really meet one. If we do, my huge saber is not to be trifled with."
Along the way, they met all sorts of Demonic Beasts. Finally, Gao Xiang had a place to display his strength. It had to be said that the might of Qianduan Peak's Martial Techniques were extremely ferocious.
When Gao Xiang, who was a Medial Grade Martial Saint, attacked at full power, even a Medial Grade 5 Demonic Beast would find it difficult to deal with. If an early Rank 5 Demonic Beast was struck by him, it would be severely injured.
Xiao Chen's desperate fighting style changed everyone's impression of him. They were no longer as bad as before.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and ignored the two of them bickering. He had gained a lot as well. He had personally killed an early Rank 5 Demonic Beast. He had personally killed twenty early Rank 5 Demonic Beasts and one Medial Grade 5 Demonic Beast. If all of them were exchanged for Spirit Stones, he would get two or three thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones.
Seeing Yun Kexin standing guard at the side, Xiao Chen felt it was strange. He asked, "Senior Sister Yun, are you not going to take some Demonic Cores?"
Yun Kexin said indifferently, "A Rank 5 Demonic Core cannot be exchanged for many Spirit Stones. You can split it among yourselves; there is no need to care about me."
