C3602 Ancient Demonic Tree
C3602 Ancient Demonic Tree
In the air, a white-haired old cultivator yelled angrily as he resisted the black spikes.
However, he was already at the end of his strength. After blocking dozens of attacks from the black spikes, he couldn't take it anymore and fell to the ground.
He was stabbed by the black thorns in the air and became a meat skewer. He screamed and died on the spot.
"Run! This is a demonic tree. It wants to eat people."
"Damn it! Shi Yue, that bastard! He tricked us to come here to die! Bastard! I don't want to die here!"
In an instant, all kinds of curses and screams mixed together, rising and falling, but they were quickly drowned out by the sound of the black spikes.
The scene in front of him was like the scene of the end of the world. In Chen Xiao's eyes, it was more or less unbearable.
"What a terrifying ancient Demonic Tree. After absorbing the blood essence of so many cultivators, its strength has become even stronger. However, with the battle power of a peak cultivator, it is simply impossible to deal with it, let alone seize the True Immortal Fruits." Chen Xiao muttered.
He had seen how terrifying the Demonic Tree was. Its strength was far above that of a cultivator at the peak of the Tribulation Transcender Stage. Perhaps only an expert at the Immortal Realm could fight against it.
In other words, letting them enter the secret realm from the very beginning was a trap.
But this was a real scheme. Shi Yue had first spread the news that after the secret realm opened, there would be a large amount of spiritual herbs, even thousands of years old ones, and there would be a chance to get the True Immortal Fruit. No one could resist such a temptation.
Even Chen Xiao himself had fallen for it.
"A man dies for wealth and a bird dies for food. These people have died for a good cause." Chen Xiao thought in his heart.
At this moment, a few figures suddenly appeared in his eyes. His eyes lit up and killing intent rose in them.
"It's them. A group of people from the Zhou family."
Not too far away, the four Zhou family members led by Zhou Xun were also surrounded by the black spikes. However, the four of them worked well together and controlled two shields together. They defended against the spikes while slowly retreating.
If Zhou Xun and the other three were given more time, they would be able to get out of the attacking range of the Demonic Tree. They would be safe.
When Chen Xiao saw this, evil rose up in his heart. He laughed sinisterly and said: "What a small world indeed. Zhou Family, I have said that as long as there is a chance, I will definitely kill you. Die."
In the air, Chen Xiao no longer held anything back. The three swords flew out and combined in midair. Three different forces converged together and burst out with terrifying power.
"Kill!"
Chen Xiao pointed his finger in the air, and three swords shot out violently towards Zhou Xun and the other three, wanting to break through their defenses.
With his strength, if he were to fight against Zhou Xun and the other three alone, he would have no chance of winning at all. It would be no different from courting death. However, with the help of the black spikes, he only needed to push them a little.
At the same time that Chen Xiao made his move, another blood-colored blade qi rushed over from afar and slashed towards Zhou Xun and the other three.
Chen Xiao was shocked, and then laughed, "It seems that there is more than one person who has the same thought as me."
He glanced over and found that the one who made the move was actually Gu Chengquan.
The Gu Clan and the Zhou Clan had a deep grudge against each other. With such a good opportunity to kick him while he was down, how could Gu Chengquan miss it? He decisively made his move and killed him with one strike.
In the air, the four men from the Zhou Clan were doing their best to block the attack of the Demonic Tree. Zhou Qitian was so anxious that his forehead was covered in sweat. He said, "Ancestor, we were careless. We didn't expect the Demonic Tree to be so powerful. The black thorn's attack range is so big. Damn it."
Zhou Qitian was full of regret. He had wanted to take advantage of the situation and loot a few bodies. The treasures on the bodies of those old monsters were worth a lot of money.
Unfortunately, he had underestimated the terrifying power of the Yao Tree. Last time, the Yao Tree wasn't as strong as this.
After a thousand years of cultivation, its strength had increased by another level. It was also because Zhou Xun had made a mistake.
However, Zhou Xun was not in a hurry. He shouted, "What are you panicking for? Stay in the formation. Let's retreat first."
A few seconds had passed. When Zhou Xun and the others were about to get out of the attacking range of the Demonic Tree, two attacks came at them.
"What!? Ancestor, there's a sneak attack!?" One of the Zhou Family Elders was so scared that his expression changed dramatically as he screamed.
Seeing this, Zhou Xun was enraged and shouted: "Gu Chengquan, if you dare to attack today, I'll kill you if I have the chance in the future, unless you never leave Tianhe City."
Although he had said those harsh words, the bloody saber qi had arrived in front of him. He had to block it.
With no other choice, Zhou Xun had to use a part of his spiritual power to raise his hand and throw out a punch.
Boom!
The Saber Qi dissipated, and Zhou Xun and the other three's shields shook. Their movements were a little slow, and they were caught up by the black spikes.
"Get lost!" Zhou Xun was enraged. He attacked one after another. Lightning flashed and explosions sounded.
The black spikes were broken one after another, but they managed to squeeze out a crack.
"Humph!"
Seeing this, Gu Chengquan hesitated for a moment and thought about whether he should attack again and kill them all. At this moment, he saw Chen Xiao's sword light.
"Good sword."
"What!"
Zhou Xun was shocked. Looking at the terrifying sword light that was dozens of feet long and seemed to be able to cut through space, he could not help but be shocked.
Chi!
As the sword light swept by, the four's protective barrier was instantly broken into two. The barrier was useless as it was completely exposed to the black spikes.
In just an instant, the four of them had spread out and were surrounded by the Yao tree's attacks, which broke them one by one.
"No, Ancestor, save me! I'm still young, I don't want to die!"
"Ancestor, save me! Aaaah!"
The two elders of the Zhou family weren't strong enough and were defeated after being hit by the black spikes. Their bodies were covered in blood and they started to beg in fear.
However, before Zhou Xun could help them, the black needles had pierced through the two of them and turned them into meat skewers. They died on the spot.
"Hateful!" Seeing this, Zhou Xun was so angry that he started to curse.
"Ancestor, save me!" At this moment, Zhou Qitian also called out in panic.
Zhou Xun took a deep breath and slapped Zhou Qitian's back, sending him flying out of the range of the tree. He was safe for the time being.
Seeing this, Zhou Xun felt a little better. He said: "Well, it's better than being completely wiped out. This time we've really lost a lot. Not only did we get nothing, but we also lost our clones. What a pity."
After sending Zhou Qitian out with the last bit of his strength, Zhou Xun was too weak to deal with Black's fierce attacks anymore. He would die soon.
Zhou Qitian was able to survive because he had at least retained a portion of the Zhou Clan's strength.
