"You guys find a safe place to hide first."
Seeing Jiang Chen coming over, the two girls went up to him. However, before they could say anything, Jiang Chen left in a hurry.
"What's going on?"
The two women looked at each other in dismay.
But then, the ground shook, and a huge mushroom cloud rose up from where they could see.
"Now that I have regained my demon body, what can you do even if the two of you work together?"
Looking at the two people who were being beaten back by him, the thousand-year tree demon laughed.
"Although this demon hasn't regained the strength of a demon general, with this body, what should we do now?"
He Li looked at the old man holding the sword in front of her and couldn't help but be anxious.
"His demon body cultivates the Yi Wood Essence, so his recovery ability is extremely strong."
"In addition, this body is in the Master Realm. Even my Tiangang Sword can't kill him."
At this moment, Teacher Xu, who was surrounded by sword qi, was also helpless.
Not to mention that the other party's realm was higher than his, the key was that the other party was also a demon with a refined body and endless vitality.
In just a short while, he didn't know how many times he had attacked.
Even if his head was chopped off, the other party would still be fine.
The most terrifying thing was that he hadn't recovered yet. If he really recovered, it would be even more troublesome.
"What should we do now?"
He Li was also out of ideas. After all, this was land and there were many restrictions on her.
"Take them and run!"
She glanced at the dying Governor Luo Binwang and the Marquis of Champion Xu Fang, who was surrounded by 30,000 Ghost Guards.
If the two of them were to be compared, they were incomparably tragic.
Not to mention Luo Binwang, who was unknown whether he was dead or alive, the Marquis of Champion Xu Fang's 30,000 Ghost Guards had become real ghosts guarding by his side.
Among the few of them, the real main force was Xu Fang's Ghost Guards.
There was no other way. The body of the thousand-year tree demon was too terrifying. Only the Ghost Guards that targeted souls had some effect on him.
"What about you?"
He Li didn't leave immediately. Instead, she looked at the old man with a sword in front of her.
"I … will naturally kill demons."
As soon as Teacher Xu finished speaking, he charged towards the Thousand-Year Tree Demon.
"A swordsman, would it be better to take things in a straight line than to seek them in a straight line?"
He Li's heart was filled with reverence as she watched Teacher Xu fight with the Thousand-Year Tree Demon.
Therefore, she left without hesitation. Because if she delayed any longer, whether it was Luo Binwang or Xu Fang, they would all become her hindrances.
If he brought them away, he would be able to advance and retreat as he pleased.
"You chased me relentlessly just now, and now you want to leave? Have you asked for my permission?"
Now that the 1,000-year Tree Demon had a chance to take revenge, how could it let go of such a good opportunity?
Following its furious roar, countless giant vine pillars rose up within a radius of ten miles.
These vines seemed to have a life of their own. Like spears, they pierced towards He Li.
After a while, it smashed towards them like a giant club.
Sometimes, it would even act like a python, setting up a trap and waiting for them to crawl into it.
Fortunately, He Li was not to be trifled with. She wielded a long sword made of water and cut through all the obstacles along the way.
Unfortunately, the 1,000-year Tree Demon was too terrifying. This sea of trees seemed to be endless. It was not easy for He Li to bring the two of them out.
"Sky-Raising Slash!"
At this moment, Teacher Xu noticed He Li's predicament and slashed his sword across the air.
As soon as the sword appeared, a path appeared in the sea of trees.
"Hurry up and leave!"
As soon as Teacher Xu spoke, the 1,000-year Tree Demon cackled.
"You used their lives in exchange for heavily injuring you. It's worth it!"
The 1,000-year Tree Demon clapped its hands and instantly formed a tree nest enchantment that swallowed Teacher Xu.
"Teacher Xu!"
He Li looked at the situation and could not help but gnash her teeth in hatred. However, there was nothing she could do. She could only turn around and leave quickly.
She did not know how long she had run, but when she looked back, she could not see the enchantment anymore.
"He Li!"
"What's going on?"
Just as He Li heaved a sigh of relief and was about to go back to save Teacher Xu, Jiang Chen suddenly appeared in front of her.
Seeing He Li holding two people in each hand, Jiang Chen could not help but ask.
"Jiang Chen, it's you!"
He Li, on the other hand, was overjoyed to see Jiang Chen. She immediately recounted what had happened after they parted ways.
It turned out that after Jiang Chen left with White Lotus and Xu Jiangnan, the battle in the cellar was one-sided.
The Tiangang school's Elder Zhang tore off his mask and sneaked an attack on Teacher Xu. Fortunately, Teacher Xu was a sword cultivator and could block the sneak attack.
What really made He Li angry was that the Tiangang school's Elder Zhang, who had been possessed, turned out to be the only Daemon General in the mystic realm.
This time, other than opening the mystic realm, they came back to reclaim his body.
Therefore, after a battle, He Li and Teacher Xu worked together to kill five spirit energy monsters.
It was also because of the obstruction of these spirit energy monsters that the 1,000-year Tree Demon regained his body.
What happened next completely changed the situation of the battle.
While He Li and Teacher Xu were crazily fighting with the remaining spirit energy monsters, the Tree Demon, who had regained his body, secretly devoured the corpses of the spirit energy monsters.
After devouring five spirit qi demons, the 1,000-year Tree Demon no longer concealed itself. The moment it appeared, it devoured the remaining four spirit qi demons.
It was because of the replenishment of these spirit energy monsters that the Tree Demon quickly regained the strength of his body.
"You're saying that the 1,000-year Tree Demon, who had possessed Elder Zhang, deliberately broke the barrier?"
In the end, He Li told Jiang Chen that even if he did not fight with Jin Ziheng, the barrier in the mystic realm would not have lasted for long.
Instead, it was because of his battle with Jin Ziheng that the barrier had been broken earlier.
Otherwise, if the barrier was allowed to break naturally, by the time Da Xia and the Tiangang school reacted, the monsters in the mystic realm would have all disappeared.
However, because of Jiang Chen's intervention this time, the monsters suffered heavy casualties.
Not to mention the small monsters, even more than ten of the big monsters died because of the 1,000-year Tree Demon.
Moreover, he had eaten them with his own mouth, which also allowed his body to recover at an extremely fast speed.
Therefore, instead of saying that he had harmed these big monsters, it was better to say that he had sent these big monsters away in advance.
After all, it was only a matter of time before Teacher Xu and He Li worked together to kill these spirit energy monsters.
"The 1,000-year Tree Demon is more than a thousand years old!"
He Li sighed with emotion. Since the other party was willing to sacrifice his own body for the sake of escaping from the barrier, it was obvious that he was willing to do so.
She did not know how many years he had been tossing and turning, or what he had done in secret, to break through the barrier.
When he thought of this monster, Jiang Chen could not help but think of Jiuying.
It seemed that the 1,000-year Tree Demon was not the only one using this method. Perhaps all the monsters in the mystic realm were using this method.
However, it was obvious that Jiuying's body was not in the Shiwan Mountains. Instead, it was heading for the Wuji Land. Perhaps it was heading for the Dragon God Kung.
"No wonder the Ten Directional Demon Subduing Formation turned into the Ten Directional Dark Realm. It turns out that Elder Zhang had already been possessed by the 1,000-year Tree Demon."
After listening to He Li's explanation, Jiang Chen finally understood.
"Now is not the time to talk about this. If that swordsman does not have support, he will definitely die."
He Li glanced at Jiang Chen. Although she did not say it explicitly, she had already made her intentions clear.
"Okay, let's go save Martial Uncle Xu now!"
When he was trapped by the spirit energy monster, it was Teacher Xu who came to save him. Now that he was trapped, how could he not do anything?
"Let's go!"
As He Li walked, she discussed countermeasures with Jiang Chen. After all, that was a Tree Demon with the body of a Demon General. Its strength was comparable to the human Master Realm.
The only fortunate thing now was that it had just taken back its body. Although it had the body of a Demon General, it could not exert the strength of a Demon General because of its soul.
At most, it was stronger than the spirit energy realm. As for how much stronger it was, it was hard to say because He Li could not figure out its strength at all.
"Are you talking about this scale?"
The two of them thought about it and could not come up with a good plan. In the end, He Li asked Jiang Chen for the scale given by He Bo.
"That's right, this is the scale."
Seeing the scale in Jiang Chen's hand, He Li told him her plan.
"Is this really going to work?"
Jiang Chen looked at the scale in surprise. Although he had carried it with him for a long time, he did not find anything special about it.
If there was something special about it, it would be that wearing this scale would not be afraid of the heat. It could even be used as a small night light at night.
"Just leave it to me."
He Li was very confident. This was her father's scale, so she was naturally confident.
In the wilderness, there was a huge tree nest erected.
This tree was hundreds of feet tall. Under the sunlight, the tree vines on the periphery shone with a luster that only deep sea cold iron had.
Some curious animals approached the tree nest, but before they could react, they were sucked clean by the tree vines.
In less than half a day, there were no more living creatures within a radius of ten miles. They were all devoured by the tree nest.
"Teacher Xu, I respect you, so I don't want to force you."
"If you don't know what's good for you, don't rely on me to swallow you alive."
The Tree Demon looked at Teacher Xu, who was still struggling in the enchantment, and scolded him.
"Humans and Demons have always been at odds. You want me to surrender to you?"
"Do you really think I don't know what you're thinking?"
The Sword Qi was everywhere, but it was now maintained within three feet of Teacher Xu.
If Jiang Chen was here, he would definitely recognize this sword as Xu Jiangnan's Three-Foot Sword Technique.
Within three feet, he was invincible.
This was the terrifying part of the Three-Foot Sword Technique.
As long as the enemy dared to come within three feet, either he would be killed, or the other party would kill him.
Other than these two endings, there would not be a third.
Now that Teacher Xu was trapped in the tree nest, he used this sword technique to create an enchantment.
Not only was he protecting himself, but he was also waiting for the Tree Demon to come forward.
"Does that mean there's no room for discussion?"
The Tree Demon sneered and said, "Right now, you're a fish on the chopping board. Discussing with you is giving you face. Since you don't want it, I'll waste some effort to kill you."
Following the Tree Demon's words, countless old tree vines in the enchantment wrapped around Teacher Xu.
Looking at these tree vines, Teacher Xu did not underestimate them at all. This was the Tree of the Dead Soul. Once touched, one's soul would wither and die.
Moreover, the Tree of the Dead Soul was an extremely rare plant. It was almost impossible to see it in Chan State. However, this Tree Demon's body was the Tree of the Dead Soul.
However, unlike his ability, this Tree Demon had chosen to refine his body. This was what Teacher Xu did not understand the most.
After all, if the other party was also a Qi Refinement cultivator and had reached the Demon General level, this Tree of the Dead Soul would have evolved into the Dead Soul Will.
Such a powerful intent was famous even in the Grandmaster Realm.
Strictly speaking, it should be considered the Ghost Will of Heaven, Earth, Man, God, and Ghost.
It could also be considered the Path of Hell. After all, this intent could determine one's life and death.
"It's a pity that you're cultivating Henglian. Under my Sword Qi, your Dead Soul Vine is not fast enough."
Teacher Xu laughed. The sword light around his body surged. Even the Dead Soul Vine could not get close to him.
"Is that so?"
The Dead Soul Tree Demon sneered and did not explain. Instead, more withered old tree vines wrapped around Teacher Xu.
In an instant, Teacher Xu was completely surrounded.
"I see!"
After a round of resistance, Teacher Xu finally understood the Dead Soul Tree Demon's intention.
"You only understand now. Unfortunately, it's too late."
The Dead Soul Tree Demon laughed loudly. It did not hide its pride at all.
"Tiangang Sword, Protector!"
Teacher Xu's eyes flashed. If it were not for the fact that he had been fighting for the past few days and the Spirit Qi in his body had been almost depleted, he would not hesitate to rush out even if it was this tree nest, let alone the Dead Soul Vine.
It turned out that the Dead Soul Tree's intention was very simple. Since the Dead Soul Vine could not kill Teacher Xu, it would fight a tug of war and hide the hallucinatory Qi in the Dead Soul Vine.
This hallucinatory Qi was not something else. It was the Tiangang school's Soul-Dispersing Powder.
This powder was colorless and invisible. Even someone as strong as Teacher Xu would not be able to detect it easily.
Moreover, it was used by a Demon. It was even more impossible.
The Dead Soul Tree used this loophole to make Teacher Xu fall for it.
However, while the Dead Soul Tree had a plan, Teacher Xu also had a countermeasure.
With a whoosh, the Tiangang Sword turned into a barrier that covered Mister Xu.
"You actually used the Thousand-Year Dream Feint Technique!"
Seeing Teacher Xu close his eyes, the Tree of Dead Soul was enraged.
Although it had eaten close to ten Spirit Qi Demons, how could the flesh and blood of these demons compare to the human in front of it?
Not to mention his top-notch swordsmanship, just the Spirit Qi that he cultivated was not something that Spirit Qi Demons could compare to.
Therefore, the Dead Soul Tree's persuasion was fake. Its real intention was to eat Teacher Xu. Unfortunately, such a clumsy act was seen through by Teacher Xu.
Teacher Xu did not pay attention to the Dead Soul Tree. Instead, he closed his eyes. The boundary formed by the Tiangang Sword remained motionless in front of him.
Seeing this situation, the Dead Soul Tree was so angry that it gritted its teeth.
This was because the Great Dream of a Thousand Years Sleep Feint Technique was more like an illusion.
Once this technique was used, it would carry out the last order he gave until his power was exhausted.
Boom!
At this moment, there was a loud noise outside the tree nest.
The Dead Soul Tree sensed that the tree nest was faintly about to break open. It could not help but be surprised that there was someone here who could break its tree nest.
"It's you!"
Looking at the person who appeared, the Dead Soul Tree's eyes were filled with disbelief.
