"Brother Ning, didn't you go back?" Seeing Ning Caichen behind Yan Chixia, Ye Xuan was startled and asked him.
"I've been walking for a long time, but it's like I'm walking in circles. I can't get out of the forest." Ning Caichen was also puzzled. He had been walking in circles in the forest for a long time, but no matter how he changed his direction, he would always end up in front of the monument of Lanruo Temple.
"I think it's the old monster's doing. When he retreated last night, he said he would kill all of us in Lanruo Temple." Yan Chixia said with a gloomy face.
"What? Monster … There, there is a monster here? " Hearing Yan Chixia's words, Ning Caichen looked at Ye Xuan and the others in surprise. He didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but after what happened in Lanruo Temple, he had to believe it.
"Damn monster, how dare he say he would kill all of us in Lanruo Temple. I'll chop off its body and see what evil it can do!" Xia Houjie's face flashed with killing intent. He pulled out his long sword, stamped his right leg and jumped to the side of the poplar, raised his sword and chopped.
Because Xia Houjie's movement was too fast, the others couldn't stop him. They could only watch Xia Houjie's sharp sword chopping at the trunk of the poplar.
Clang!!! — —
To everyone's surprise, the sword in Xia Houjie's hand, which could cut iron like mud, made a sound of metal clashing when it chopped at the trunk of the poplar.
Hiss! Xia Houjie sucked in a breath of cold air. The recoil from the sword almost made him lose his grip on it. When he looked at the place where the treasured sword had struck, there was only a shallow white mark left. It didn't even cut through the bark of the tree.
"Brother Xia Houjie, wait!" At this time, Yan Chixia finally reacted. He jumped over and waved his hand to stop Xia Houjie.
"Is this the original body of the old monster?" Yan Chixia looked at the average-sized poplar in front of him. The ordinary poplar asked doubtfully.
"Brother Ye was the one who found this white poplar tree. I didn't believe it at first, but this tree is actually as tough as metal. It's really unusual!" Xia Houjie said with a gloomy face as he looked at his sword that was actually slightly bent.
"Is that so? Brother Xiahou, move aside. I'll give it a try! " Yan Chixia's eyes lit up when he heard Xia Houjie's words. He flipped his hand and a talisman appeared in his hand.
Xia Houjie heard Yan Chixia's commanding tone. However, when he saw the talisman that Yan Chixia took out, he immediately swallowed the words in his mouth. Although he was still somewhat unwilling, he still retreated.
After seeing Xia Houjie retreat, Yan Chixia waved his hand, and the talisman flashed with magic power and directly stuck to the trunk of the white poplar.
"Prajna Paramita!"
Bang! — —
With a loud explosion, the talisman flashed with magical light, and the place where the talisman was stuck on the poplar tree burst into thick smoke. It quickly wrapped around the talisman that Yan Chixia threw out. The talisman only lasted for less than two breaths before turning into ashes.
"This old demon has such strong demonic power!" Seeing that his talisman only lasted for such a short time, Yan Chixia's expression changed. Yan Chixia couldn't help but change his expression.
"Yan Chixia, it seems that you also can't do anything to this old demon!" Xia Houjie saw that Yan Chixia's talisman had turned into ashes, and he said with some amusement.
"Hmph!" Hearing the ridicule in Xia Houjie's tone, Yan Chixia snorted coldly. With a shake of his back, the sword case on his back fell into his hand.
Seeing that Yan Chixia was about to take out his magic sword, Ye Xuan suddenly said, "Hero Yan, wait!" "Huh?"
Hearing Ye Xuan's voice, Yan Chixia looked at Ye Xuan suspiciously.
"Hero Yan, please use your divine sense to check the ground under this tree." Ye Xuan walked towards Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen, who was behind him, was surprised and followed slowly.
Seeing that Ye Xuan seemed to have something important to say, Yan Chixia frowned and slightly closed his eyes. His divine sense penetrated his body and went straight into the ground.
Suddenly, Yan Chixia, who had his eyes closed, let out a muffled groan, and his originally round face turned pale. However, this paleness quickly recovered. Yan Chixia opened his eyes, and a trace of shock flashed in his eyes.
"What a strong demonic aura, what a powerful old demon!" Yan Chixia's eyes still showed the shock of what he saw under the ground.
"Yan Chixia, what's going on under the ground? Why are you two acting so mysterious?" Xia Houjie saw that both Ye Xuan and Yan Chixia were acting mysteriously. Although he was a martial arts expert, he was not as capable as the two of them. He couldn't help but feel displeased.
"Brother Xia Houjie, it's useless to cut down this tree. This old demon's roots extend for several miles. If we don't remove these roots, it's impossible to get rid of this old demon!" Yan Chixia looked at Xia Houjie and shook his head. Then, he carried the sword case on the ground on his back.
"What?" Hearing what Yan Chixia said, Xia Houjie was also shocked. Looking at the ground under his feet, he didn't expect the old demon's roots to extend for several miles. "What should we do? Do we have to dig out all the old demon's roots? "
"This matter needs further consideration. Let's go back to Lanruo Temple first!" Yan Chixia looked at the crowd and suggested.
"Hmph, even so, we can't let this old demon have a good time. Let's set a fire and burn it first." Although he heard Yan Chixia's words, Xia Houjie still felt it was unfair. Looking at the poplar in front of him, he said with hatred. Then, he walked to the side and put some dry branches under the poplar, ready to burn it.
Boom —
Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from the ground. Then, the ground where everyone was standing began to shake as if there was an earthquake. Countless tree roots emerged from the ground and entangled everyone.
"Ah!" Ning Caichen let out a scream. Two tree roots stretched out from the ground and entangled his legs. Then, like two snakes, they quickly climbed up his body.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A saber light flashed, and two tree roots were cut off.
"Let's get out of here and go back to Lanruo Temple first!" A podao appeared in Ye Xuan's hand. With a few swishes, he cut off the tree roots that entangled him. Then, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Ning Caichen's neck. Then, he jumped up and the two figures quickly left the mass grave.
"Brother Xia Houjie, let's go too!" Yan Chixia shook his body and directly broke the tree roots that were trying to climb up his legs. He took a leap and jumped out of the mass grave.
Seeing that everyone had left, Xia Houjie could only glare at the poplar in front of him with hatred and flew away.
