The beams of dark light were like tentacles that were as fast as lightning, catching them off guard.
"Watch out!"
Fang Ziyue exclaimed immediately.
Ye Chen was neither fast nor slow. He used his fingers as a saber and advanced instead of retreating. He slashed at the terrifying light that was shooting at him.
Whoosh, whoosh …
Subsequently, the sound of metal colliding was heard, accompanied by sparks that shot out in all directions. The terrifying shockwave directly shattered the ground around them.
When they looked again, the beams of dark light that shot out earlier had already fallen to the ground. They had lost their original luster and looked like withered branches.
Fang Ziyue's expression changed slightly, "It's the branches that attacked us?!"
However, Ye Chen did not answer. He lifted his head and looked at the dense forest 300 meters away. His gaze was fixed on an ancient tree that seemed to have withered. He mocked, "So there's a tree demon that has turned into a spirit here!"
As soon as he said that …
Rustle, rustle, rustle …
A strange sound rang out from the forest. Countless trees seemed to have come to life, and they retreated in unison. In the end, an ancient tree that seemed to be made of bronze was revealed. The ancient tree was dazzling, and it seemed to be wrapped in divine light.
"It's the Heavenly Demon Treasure Tree!"
Ye Chen's eyes flickered slightly.
The so-called Heavenly Demon Treasure Tree was a rare refining material in the cultivation world. Its tree core was most suitable to help cultivators calm down and nurture their souls.
The Heavenly Demon Treasure Tree before him was equivalent to a perfected God Transformation Stage cultivator.
Hiss!
The Heavenly Demon Treasure Tree let out a hissing sound. Branches that blotted out the sky immediately whizzed toward Ye Chen. From afar, it looked like sword qi that tore through the air.
"An animal will always be an animal!"
Ye Chen scoffed and waved his hand, "Come, sword!"
"Buzz!"
As the air trembled, there seemed to be lightning exploding in the air. Subsequently, a bolt of lightning that looked like a lightning dragon appeared in Ye Chen's hand.
It was the True Martial Thousand Lightning Sword!
"Myriad Sword Return!"
In an instant, sword gleams that filled the sky exploded in Ye Chen's hand. The scene was like a huge golden umbrella that covered the entire space.
"Kacha kacha …"
Under the tens of thousands of sword lights, the branches of the Heavenly Demon Treasure Tree that covered the sky were all chopped off. Without exception, green blood splattered everywhere.
"Such powerful swordsmanship!"
Fang Ziyue's beautiful eyes were filled with splendor. "I didn't expect Senior Ye to not only be a dual cultivator of Dharma and martial arts, but he is also proficient in the Sword Dao."
Swoosh!
In the next moment, the Heavenly Demon Treasure Tree suddenly shook violently and quickly sank into the ground. Clearly, it realized that it was no match for Ye Chen and wanted to burrow into the ground.
"Evil creature, you want to run away after acting tough?"
Ye Chen scoffed and performed a hand seal. "Earth-shattering Seal!"
The Heavenly Devil Treasure Tree was horrified to find that the ground it was standing on had become incomparably hard, like steel. No matter what it did, it couldn't do anything.
Swoosh!
Ye Chen's figure flashed and appeared before it instantly. A sword gleam wrapped in lightning sliced through the air directly and slashed at the heart of the tree.
The sword light easily pierced through the tree's body. Then, like a nuclear bomb exploding, it turned into endless energy that wreaked havoc in the tree's body.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the Heavenly Demon Treasure Tree turned into countless pieces that scattered everywhere. At the spot where it had collapsed, a green luster hovered in the air.
The green luster was like a Bodhi Heart. It gave off a captivating aura. It was as if one could enter a meditative state at any time under that aura.
"The Heavenly Demon Treasure Tree's Heart?"
Fang Ziyue could not help but be elated when she saw that. Clearly, she had finally recognized what it was, "And it seems to be a high-grade one. If this item were to be sold in the outside world, its value wouldn't be lower than a Void Refinement cultivation method."
At that moment, a few air-piercing sounds shot over from afar. Subsequently, they landed before Ye Chen and the rest.
There were three men in different attires. The leading old man had a beard and a terrifying scar on his face. One could tell that he was ruthless with just a glance.
Two of them were at the advanced-stage God Transformation Stage and one was at the perfect-stage God Transformation Stage.
Someone looked at the green luster in the air greedily. He gulped and said, "Brother, it's the Heavenly Demon Treasure Tree's Heart!"
The bearded old man was drooling too. However, he turned his head to take a good look at Ye Chen and Fang Ziyue. A gleam flashed through his eyes when he saw Fang Ziyue. He said while smiling, "Oh, it's Ms. Fang from the Tianyuan Trade Association."
"Who are you guys?" Fang Ziyue frowned slightly.
"We're known as the Ghost Spirit Trio!"
The full-bearded old man chuckled. "However, with Miss Fang's status, you will definitely not have heard of the three of us. Miss Fang, on account of the Heavenly Yuan Merchant Association, leave immediately. We might show mercy."
"Are you guys robbing us of the Heavenly Demon Treasure Tree's Heart?"
Fang Ziyue laughed in anger. She, Fang Ziyue, was quite famous in the Yin Ruins. Never had she thought that she would be robbed as soon as she entered.
"Otherwise?"
The bearded old man's eyes turned cold. "Are you trying to make things difficult for us, Ms. Fang? Although you're a genius of the Fang family, don't forget that my cultivation level isn't lower than yours. Moreover, there are only two of you. "
"Brother, why are you wasting your breath on her?"
A middle-aged man next to him smirked. He looked at Fang Ziyue lecherously, "Why don't we capture the two of them together? We'll kill the man. As for Ms. Fang, hehe …"
"As for Ms. Fang, why don't you help the three of us? This is the Desolate God's Tomb anyway. The Tianyuan Trade Association doesn't have the ability to spy on us …"
"We'll just push the blame to other organizations when the time comes …"
The man gulped hard as he spoke to this point.
Fang Ziyue's pretty face turned pale from anger. She had never been humiliated with such filthy words in the outside world before.
Ye Chen said while smiling calmly, "What should we do?"
"Kill him!" Fang Ziyue's eyes turned cold.
"Sure!"
Ye Chen nodded lightly. Ye Chen slapped his hand out directly.
The bearded old man did not expect Ye Chen to attack as soon as they met. He was going to attack in his rage. "How dare you, brat? You're really seeking death …"
Before he was done speaking, he turned into a bloody mist with a slap. Meanwhile, the other two were dumbstruck. Never had they thought that a Perfected God Transformation Stage powerhouse would be killed with a slap just like that.
"Senior, spare me. Spare me …"
One of them jolted and knelt hard before Ye Chen immediately. He was shaking like a sieve.
He could kill a Perfected God Transformation Stage powerhouse with a slap.
Even if he was not on Void Refinement, he was close to it.
He was horrified as he thought to this point.
Meanwhile, the other person ran away without saying anything when he realized that the situation was not right.
Pfft, pfft …
In the blink of an eye, two bloody mists exploded in the air again. Ye Chen then grabbed the Heavenly Demon Treasure Tree's heart through the air.
"Let's go …"
He turned his head to look at Fang Ziyue who was dumbstruck.
