"Boundless Heaven and Earth, borrow the power of the universe!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! — —
Surges of Yang Dharmic powers seemed to transform into bolts of lightning that struck the tree roots, dispersing the dark demonic power in the tree roots and blasting the tree roots into several pieces.
The tree roots were blasted apart, and a faint wail came from the tree roots. It retreated into the forest like a startled snake.
"Stinky Taoist, how dare you interfere in my business?" The angry voice of the thousand-year-old tree demon that was neither male nor female came from the forest.
"Hmph! Old monster, why wouldn't I dare?! " At this moment, Yan Chixia leaped over with a sword case on his back. He glanced at Xia Houjie and Ye Xuan and nodded slightly. Then, he raised his head and said to the void, "I don't care if you kill those bad people, but if you kill the innocent, I will not forgive you!"
"Good, good, good. Stinky Taoist, you have guts. Just you wait. I will definitely make all of you die in Lanruo Temple. Hahaha!" A murderous intent filled the air, and the thousand-year-old tree demon's laughter gradually faded away.
"Damn old monster, are you trying to scare me? If you have the guts, come out now!" Yan Chixia shouted at the air.
However, there was no longer the old monster's voice in the air. Clearly, it had retreated.
"Yan Chixia, I didn't expect you to be a Warlock." He had just been defeated by Yan Chixia, and now he actually saved his life. Seeing that Yan Chixia was able to chase away the monster that almost killed him, Xia Houjie felt rather upset.
Anyone would feel the same when they saw that the opponent they wanted to surpass was actually stronger than they had imagined.
"Brother Xiahou, that was a thousand-year-old tree demon. There are many corpses buried in Lanruo Temple. I advise you to leave Lanruo Temple as soon as possible if you want to stay alive. It's better to leave Lanruo Temple as soon as possible. "Yan Chixia glanced at Xia Houjie and said.
Yan Chixia's intentions were good, but unfortunately, he was not very understanding. Xia Houjie had originally wanted to leave this troublesome place. After all, he was just a mortal. How could he fight a thousand-year-old demon?
However, after hearing Yan Chixia's words. Xia Houjie immediately changed his mind. If you tell me to leave, then I'll leave. Doesn't that mean I'll have to listen to your orders? On the road of martial arts in the future, would I be able to compete with you?
"Hmph, Yan Chixia, if I want to leave, I will leave. If I want to stay, I will stay. You don't have to waste your breath!" Xia Houjie coldly snorted at Yan Chixia.
"Humph!" Hearing that his good intentions were treated as donkey's lungs, he snorted coldly. Yan Chixia was also a proud person, so he didn't try to persuade him anymore. He snorted coldly and turned to look at Ye Xuan, who was walking towards them. He looked him up and down again, cupped his fists and said, "I didn't expect you to be a kindred spirit. My apologies! "
"I'm Ye Xuan. I have to thank Hero Yan for saving me just now. Otherwise, Brother Xiahou and I really wouldn't have been able to do anything to that old monster." Ye Xuan cupped his hands and thanked Yan Chixia. He could tell that Yan Chixia was at least a Spirit Refinement cultivator, but his magic power was a little strange. He wasn't a pure Dao cultivator like Xia Houjie. Instead, he was a Buddhist cultivator.
"Well, we don't have to be polite here. Let's leave here first. There are trees all around here. Although the old monster's Primordial Qi was just injured by me, he didn't suffer any serious injuries. Let's go back to the meditation room first!" Yan Chixia waved his hand and looked at the surrounding trees. He frowned and said.
"Okay!" When the other two heard Yan Chixia's words, they also felt that it made sense. Nodding, the three of them walked together in the direction of the Lanruo Temple's meditation room.
All three of them had martial arts. It could be said that they were rare masters in the world. This place was not very far from the meditation room. With the three of them walking, it took them less than five minutes to return to the back hall of the Lanruo Temple.
"Yan Chixia, do you know where this monster came from?" The three of them came to the meditation room in the side hall that Yan Chixia occupied. Xia Houjie looked at Yan Chixia and asked. When he thought of how he had almost lost his life several times just now, as one of the few masters in the Jianghu, he couldn't help but feel murderous.
Hearing Xia Houjie's words, Yan Chixia shook his head and said, "I've only been here for half a month. I only know that it's a thousand-year-old tree demon. Unfortunately, the Lanruo Temple is surrounded by towering ancient trees, and this old monster hides too well. I still haven't found its origin."
At this time, Ye Xuan, who was sitting on the side, suddenly said, "I might have guessed its origin."
"Oh? You actually know the origin of this monster? Have you heard of this old monster before? "Yan Chixia looked at Ye Xuan suspiciously.
From the fight between Ye Xuan and the old monster just now, he could tell that Ye Xuan's Dharmic powers were only equivalent to the middle stage of Qi Refinement. Naturally, he didn't believe that Ye Xuan could find out the old monster's origin just by fighting it once. That was why he thought that Ye Xuan might have heard of it from the elders in the sect.
"It's also my first time coming to the Lanruo Temple. I've never heard of this old monster before. However, when I was fighting with the old monster's main body, I smelled the tree sap on this root. It smelled like poplar. " Ye Xuan took out a root that he had cut off from the thousand-year-old tree demon and handed it to Yan Chixia and Xia Houjie.
"You smelled it?" Yan Chixia took the root from Ye Xuan and sniffed it. He looked at Ye Xuan suspiciously. He couldn't smell anything with his nose, so he threw it to Xia Houjie.
"Hehe, you don't have to be suspicious. Actually, my nose has been different from ordinary people since I was young. I've been able to distinguish different smells since I was young. That's why I can smell something ordinary people can't." Ye Xuan smiled and said.
Of course, this was all nonsense. He couldn't really smell anything. He just knew the answer beforehand and found an excuse for the answer.
"I see!" When the two heard Ye Xuan's explanation, they nodded slightly and believed him.
From their point of view, there were many strange people in this world. It was not impossible for Ye Xuan to be able to smell different smells.
Xia Houjie patted the sword beside him and said angrily, "Since I know where this monster came from, I'll find it tomorrow and burn it. Let's see how it can harm people again!"
"Brother Xia Houjie, calm down. This thousand-year-old monster isn't that easy to deal with. It …"
All of a sudden, Yan Chixia, who was speaking, stopped. His ears twitched, and a soft and sensual song drifted into his ears. Yan Chixia looked at Ye Xuan, and his expression changed. "Oh no, these monsters are out to harm people again. The scholar who came with you …"
