While Luo Ping and the Kun Xu Godly Tree were engaged in an intense battle, a young man was also doing his best to fend off the attacks of the surrounding trees in another forest.
The man was handsome, but his complexion was overly pale and delicate. He only had 70% of his masculinity left.
At this moment, the young man's expression was solemn. He clenched his teeth and controlled a scroll in the air. It constantly released a red brilliance to protect himself while turning into countless swords to attack the black vines that had appeared out of thin air.
A large number of men and women were depicted on the scroll. All of them had different movements and seemed to be alive at this moment. They twisted their bodies and launched various attacks.
"Dammit, these Ghost Vine Trees are really hard to deal with. Not only are their vines extremely tough, but they're also good at hiding. They come and go like ghosts and take people by surprise. I can't even determine their whereabouts.
"If it weren't for the powerful defensive and offensive power of the Blissful Painting, I probably would've been defeated and killed long ago. However, it's not that easy to defeat these Ghost Vine Trees.
"Hmph! Fortunately, I ran into Zhou Ji, who was heavily injured and had just returned. Using the excuse of treating his injuries, I killed him at all costs and seized all of his treasures, including this Half-Saint artifact, the Blissful Painting."
"However, I didn't have the time to absorb his power. I could only use a secret technique to seal his power so that it wouldn't spread. Then, I put it into the Blissful Painting. Otherwise, I wouldn't be in such a sorry state right now.
"Dammit, what kind of test is this? I've already passed the test of the Blazing Willow Clan, and now I have to take the test of the Ghost Vine Tree Clan. How baffling."
The young man was Yu Xiao. At this moment, he couldn't help but curse.
In order to avoid the pursuit of Luo Ping and Wu Feiying, he had used the Blissful Painting's special method to escape to the outside of the Continent of Hundred Wood. Then, he had charged in without hesitation.
Although the Hundred Wood Continent was very dangerous, he still had the Blissful Painting in hand, so he still had a certain degree of certainty that he could move around the periphery. The Hundred Wood Continent was so vast, so he planned to find an opportunity to shake off Luo Ping and Luo Yunyang, and then escape.
However, what he didn't expect was that as soon as he entered the outskirts of the Hundred Wood Continent, he heard an inexplicable voice saying that he was going to undergo a test. After that, he was transferred to a place, which was the forest of the 'Flame Willows' that he spoke of.
The Flame Willow belonged to the Tree Race with the Wood and Fire Dual Spirit Body. Its willow branches were incomparably soft and resilient. Furthermore, when it attacked, it could ignite a raging flame with great power.
Yu Xiao relied on the power of the Painting of Bliss to defeat the Flame Willow Tribe's attack with great difficulty and successfully escaped. He originally thought that he had passed the test, but he didn't expect that a force would teleport him to another location, which was the current Ghost Vine Forest.
The Ghost Vine Tree's vines were also incomparably resilient, but they weren't as soft as the Flame Willow's. Instead, they were extremely tough.
Apart from that, the Ghost Vine Tree was also adept at concealment techniques. It appeared and disappeared unpredictably, making it difficult to track down. Yu Xiao had already spent a lot of time dealing with it, but there was no way for him to escape.
Therefore, he was anxiously cursing at this moment. He didn't understand why he had to undergo such a test. On the other hand, he was somewhat glad. After all, if he hadn't found an opportunity to kill Zhou Ji and obtained his Blissful Painting, he would've probably died at Luo Ping's hands by now.
When he killed Zhou Ji, he didn't dare absorb Zhou Ji's power because he was worried that Zhou Wan and the disciples of the Union Valley would discover him. Instead, he temporarily used a secret technique to seal Zhou Ji's power before killing him.
Zhou Ji's body was still within the Blissful Painting. At that time, he'd fantasized that as long as he absorbed Zhou Ji's power, his cultivation would definitely be able to quickly break through to the peerless immortal realm. But now, he was a bit worried that he wouldn't have that chance.
"I've endured for so long and suffered so much pain. I absolutely can't die in such a cowardly manner.
"I still want to kill Luo Ping with my own hands and let Zhou Wan have a taste of what it's like to be tortured. I must defeat these Ghost Vine Trees and escape."
A strong sense of unwillingness to admit defeat surged in Yu Xiao's heart. He was unwilling to accept defeat and death. Then, an incomparably powerful killing intent erupted from his body.
"Blissful Paradise!"
Yu Xiao roared and raised his power to the limit. He controlled the Blissful Painting to unleash an even more powerful attack.
The red brilliance of the Blissful Painting was extremely strong. It enveloped the surrounding space. The men and women on the painting moved at extreme speeds. Their bodies flickered with brilliance as they unleashed all sorts of attacks. The power of their attacks also increased by countless times.
Under the cover of the Blissful Painting's red light, the hidden Ghost Vines in the air were instantly exposed. Then, they were defeated by the men and women on the painting.
In order to preserve his life, Yu Xiao could be said to be fighting with his life on the line. After all, the Blissful Painting was a half-step Sacred Tool. With his current cultivation, unleashing a move like Blissful Paradise consumed a lot of his power.
Therefore, he had no choice but to take out a large amount of Immortal Pills and continuously swallow them to replenish his power. Even so, his face quickly turned pale.
Of course, under the full power of his Blissful Painting, many of the Ghost Vine Trees around him were destroyed. As long as he could endure for a while, he would definitely be able to kill his way out. It all depended on whether he could endure or not.
… … …
"Kacha, kacha, kacha …"
Bursts of lightning and thunder resounded, illuminating the surrounding space. It also illuminated a petite figure on the ground.
This petite figure stood on the ground. She was surrounded by tall trees that were constantly releasing lightning and thunder. It made her look like a tiny ant.
However, her counterattacks proved time and time again that she was not a weak ant. Instead, she was once the artifact spirit of a saint artifact.
The petite woman was Wu Feiying. The trees around her were Lightning Trees that could release lightning and thunder attacks.
The power of lightning wasn't just the nemesis of some demons. It also had a great suppressive effect on a Tool Spirit like Wu Feiying. If it wasn't for Wu Feiying's profound cultivation and powerful strength, she would've been seriously injured long ago.
Even so, she was still having a hard time fighting. Her expression was very solemn, which was completely different from her usual style.
"The Lightning Trees are originally a very rare tree species. Even among the various tree species in the Sacred Region, they're ranked at the top. Naturally, their power is incomparably strong.
"These Lightning Trees in front of me are clearly controlled by some expert. The power of their attacks has reached a terrifying level. With my current cultivation, I still have to be very careful.
"It seems that the strength of the controller must be much higher than mine. Even if he's not an Immortal Monarch expert, he should have already touched the threshold of the Immortal Monarch realm and is working hard to become a Level Nine Peerless Immortal.
"If I want to defeat these Lightning Trees, ordinary means obviously won't work. It seems that I have to use some hidden means."
After analyzing the power of the Lightning Trees in front of her, Wu Feiying was sure that there was an expert controlling them. Moreover, this expert's cultivation was higher than hers.
In fact, what she wanted to fight was this controller. Obviously, ordinary means wouldn't work. She had to use some powerful hidden means.
In order to do so, Wu Feiying didn't hesitate to use the Dazzling Shadow Heaven Trampling Steps and the Dazzling Shadow Heaven Exploding Palm. Using the advantage of her movement technique and the powerful attack power of her palm technique, she launched a large-scale attack on the Lightning Trees in the surroundings.
At the same time, she also expanded the coverage of the Domain of Nothingness and began to crush the Lightning Trees in the surroundings. The extremely powerful Domain of Nothingness immediately suppressed the power of the Lightning Trees, causing the lightning and thunder released by them to be affected.
After a moment, Wu Feiying stopped using her movement technique. Her body suddenly changed from its original petite and cute appearance to a tall and powerful giant with a strong physique. Her body, which was dozens of feet tall, finally didn't look so small in the forest of Lightning Trees.
"Xuantian Divine Fist!"
Wu Feiying let out a loud shout, accompanied by a deep voice that spread out. Her thick arms directly danced and blasted out, releasing two incomparably huge fist shadows.
The fist shadows were like the wind, and their power soared to the sky. In an instant, they attacked the Lightning Trees in front of them. Without any resistance, they destroyed dozens of Lightning Trees in front of them. Then, the fist shadows continued to destroy countless Lightning Trees behind them.
The power of the two fists was more than the total number of Lightning Trees that she had destroyed before. Seeing this, Wu Feiying finally showed a satisfied smile. Then, without hesitation, she continued to use the Xuantian Divine Fist to attack the surrounding Lightning Trees.
"Humph, fortunately, when I followed the previous master, I cultivated his Xuantian Supreme Divine Technique and cultivated the Xuantian Supreme True Body. Moreover, I also cultivated some of the martial techniques."
"Although I didn't cultivate to the realm of great success like the previous master, with my current state, the Xuantian Divine Fist is enough to deal with the Lightning Trees in front of me."
"The Xuantian Clan is indeed one of the strongest clans in the rankings. If the previous master hadn't cultivated the Xuantian Clan's technique by chance, he probably wouldn't have been able to ascend to the Holy Region, let alone become the famous Xuantian Heavenly King."
"Sigh, I hope that Luo Ping can cultivate to the Immortal Duke Realm as soon as possible. Then, he can pass the Immortal Tribulation and ascend to the Holy Region in time for the Coronation Battle …"
Wu Feiying rejoiced in her heart. The Mysterious Heavenly Supreme Divine Art that she had cultivated under her previous master had once again come in handy today. Otherwise, with her current Tool Spirit Body, it would not be easy to deal with the Lightning Tree.
At the thought of the previous master, Wu Feiying also thought of Luo Ping. She hoped that Luo Ping could cultivate to the Immortal Duke Realm as soon as possible and ascend to the Holy Region.
Although Luo Ping's cultivation speed was very fast, it was still a little slow in Wu Feiying's eyes. She seemed to be very concerned about the Coronation Battle.
While thinking, Wu Feiying's movements did not slow down at all. As she continued to use the Xuantian Divine Fist, most of the Lightning Trees in the surroundings were finally destroyed. There were no longer any Lightning Trees within a radius of 100 miles.
