Chapter 106 – Fighting the Tree Demon
Chapter 106: Battle with the Tree Demon
Under one blow from the Bewitching Tree Demon, the two protective auras on Xu Chuniang’s body ruptured in unison.
The two shield talismans removed two points of the branch’s force, and the remaining eight points of force, instantly crashed into her body, instantly letting her protective Wind Cloud Armor crack a strip.
The Bewitching Tree Demon’s attack didn’t stop, countless branches and trunks were ruthlessly stabbing towards Xu Chuniang, actually wanting to take advantage of this good opportunity to kill her!
Xu Chuniang spat out a mouthful of blood before rolling over and rising, a cold aura flashing under her eyes.
If she were to be stabbed by these branches, she would definitely be stabbed into a sieve and killed on the spot.
She didn’t dare to hesitate, crushing two Shield Talismans again and retreating towards her back.
Although the two Medium Grade Shield Talismans together were only able to remove two of the force of a branch, it was still better than nothing.
The branches and trunks pursued her with a murderous aura, and Xu Chuniang was struck several more times, and under the frantic attack of the Bewitching Tree Demon, her Medium Grade Spirit Armor was finally completely scrapped and shattered into several pieces.
Having been whipped four or five times in a row, even though her body was strong, she couldn’t take it anymore.
It couldn’t go on like this! Otherwise, sooner or later, she would be killed by this thing.
Xu Chuniang’s eyes were slightly cold as she wiped away the blood at the corner of her mouth, no longer dodging, controlling her flying sword towards the roots of the tree with a vicious chop!
“Ka-ching!”
The root of the tree was directly chopped through an inch-long opening, and black sap flowed out from it.
The body of the flying sword trembled lightly, and the blade slightly curled a little.
The Bewitching Tree Demon suffered pain, and its attack slowed down.
Xu Chuniang did not stop moving, continuing to control the flying sword, chopping fiercely towards the openings.
“Ka-ching!”
“Ka-ching!”
The flying swords kept chopping down, each time accurately chopping at the same spot, the original inch-long opening was smashed to the size of a bowl, and the blades of the flying swords curled up even more.
Only to see the black sap continuously oozing out from the tree root wound, the Bewitching Tree Demon was in pain and once again let out a weird shrill whistle.
Xu Chuniang had already torn off a strip of cloth to plug her ears after she had learned this trick earlier, but this shrill whistling sound did not seem to act on the ears, but directly on the divine soul.
Obviously, she had already blocked her ears, but she still heard the whistling sound.
And this time, it was deeper than before.
Xu Chuniang was struck as if by a heavy blow, her entire body frozen on the spot, her spirit plunged into confusion and fear.
The Bewitching Tree Demon was similarly unfavorable, its roots being the key, equivalent to the heart of a cultivator.
At this moment, its roots were traumatized, and along with it, the cultivation level of all its branches shrunk, fading from the seventh level of Qi cultivation to the sixth level of Qi cultivation.
The branches that were closer to the wound were even more directly withered.
But Xu Chuniang was affected by the sharp whistle, how could the Soul Enchanting Tree Demon easily miss this opportunity.
Its branches swung rapidly, stabbing towards Xu Chunniang, who was frozen in place.
But at this moment, Little White, who had disappeared for quite some time, finally emerged.
As soon as Little White appeared, he brought with him a shocking aura fluctuation, which was instantly detected by the Mystic Soul Tree Demon.
It did not hesitate to abandon Xu Chuniang, who was close at hand, and reversed its direction towards Little White.
Spiritual objects were not to be lost, and the thief who dared to steal its spiritual object must die!
Xiao Bai’s body shivered in fear, the spirit artifact it had managed to dig up almost falling out of its mouth as it hurriedly ran towards its body.
However, Xiao Bai was only at the third level of Qi cultivation, how could it compare to the speed of the Bewitching Tree Demon, only to see countless branches and trunks attacking the little mouse on the ground from the air, and it was about to catch up with it. Xu Chuniang had just broken free from the strange whistling, the discomfort of confusion and fear, and seeing this scene in front of her, her breathing quickened a little, and without hesitation, she urged the Spirit Binding Rope with all her might.
The Spirit Binding Rope arrived first, rushing to bundle the branch before it stabbed Xiao Bai.
The Spirit Binding Rope was only a lower-grade Spiritual Artifact, and it only slightly trapped the branch for a moment before it exploded into several pieces, and was directly destroyed by the Bewitching Tree Demon’s branch.
Taking advantage of the Spirit Binding Rope’s blockage, Xu Chuniang controlled her flying sword to arrive in an instant and ruthlessly chopped at the branch.
The power of the flying sword was greatly reduced after it curled up, and it failed to sever the branch.
Xu Chuniang frowned slightly, and quickly changed her attack method, no longer chopping the branch, but controlling the flying sword to block the branch from moving forward.
The Bewitching Tree Demon was furious, controlling the branch to bypass the flying sword and go after the mice ahead.
However, the angle of the flying sword’s blocking was extremely tricky, and every time, it successfully blocked the branch in front of it.
Seeing that the mouse was about to escape from its range of attack, the Soul Snatcher Tree Demon became anxious.
Sparing the risk of two branches being chopped off, and wrapping itself around the flying sword, it drove the rest of the branches forward, and was about to kill the mouse.
Seeing this scene, Xu Chuniang’s heart sank, the flying sword had already rolled up its edge, and at this moment, being entangled by the branches, it was impossible to get out.
The distance from Little White was too far, and even an instantaneous spell would have trouble stopping this.
She was breathing rapidly, constantly thinking of countermeasures, all the spells and talismans flew through her mind, and one by one, one by one, she rejected them.
Since the Bewitching Soul Tree Demon was able to sacrifice two of its branches and trunks in order to retrieve the spirit item, she thought that the spirit item must be extremely important to it.
Even if she interfered more, it wouldn’t care, it would only prioritize killing Little White and reclaiming the spirit item.
Seeing that the sharp branch was a little closer to Xiaobai, Xu Chuniang’s eyes were heavy, she could not delay any longer.
A crazy conjecture appeared in her mind, she couldn’t think deeply enough and directly launched the spell.
Spring Life Technique!
Xu Chuniang’s expression was deliberate as she condensed twelve portions of wood spirit energy with all her might, before splitting it into twenty-four portions of explosive spirit energy.
As soon as the twenty-four portions of Explosive Spiritual Power appeared, four of the clusters lost control and exploded on the spot.
One of these clusters, coincidentally, blew up on her arm.
It was fortunate that these Spirit Exploding Powers were the most elementary ones and were not powerful enough, merely causing her arm to turn red.
Xu Chuniang tried her best to control the twenty portions of Explosive Spirit Power, and instead of splitting them a second time, she pushed them, instead, towards the wound at the root of the tree.
Immediately afterward, she activated her Spring Life Technique, forcing these Explosive Spiritual Forces, into the body of the Mystic Soul Tree Demon!
Then she saw that the wound on the tree demon’s body instantly expanded by more than several times, and the black sap that had already been stopped gurgled out.
Along with the entire body of the Vertigo Tree, the trunk and all the branches twisted in agony, and the entire tree fell into a riotous state, no longer having time to care.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Bai narrowly dodged the inevitable blow, rolling and crawling to escape outside.
Sure enough, it worked!
Xu Chuniang’s heart rejoiced, seeing that Little White had fled far enough away, she no longer hesitated, taking advantage of the Bewitching Tree Demon’s descent into a riot, her body shot towards the outside.
Right now was a good opportunity to kill the Bewitching Soul Tree Demon, but Xu Chunniang chose to surge back.
The battle with the Bewitching Soul Tree Demon hadn’t lasted long, but her spiritual energy had already been depleted by 90%. Since she had already obtained the spirit object, there was no need to entangle herself with it any further.
Moreover, it was her first time trying to use her explosive spiritual energy to utilize the Spring Life Technique to strike into the tree demon’s body, and she simply didn’t know how long the effectiveness of this method, would last.
It was possible that the next moment, the mesmerizing tree demon would suddenly come out of its riotous state and wake up.
