“It’s too hard!”
“What a strong defense!”
“How are we going to fight?”
…
The experts who were watching spoke one after another. It was not that they did not work hard, but the attack of the archbishop of the Orthodox Church was already stronger than the strongest attack of most of the people present.
However, such a powerful attack had only left a small wound on the willow tree’s body.
For a moment, the originally high morale instantly fell.
The archbishop also quickly retreated after unleashing his attack.
This attack had already consumed more than half of his stored strength. If he did not retreat to a safe area, it was very likely that he would be in danger.
However, his attack just now seemed to have angered the willow tree. In the willow tree’s mind, it had been injured by a weak ant, even if it had only made a small hole.
That was unforgivable.
One vine after another quickly headed in the direction of the archbishop. On the upper half of the willow tree, thousands of huge willow branches were flung down.
The archbishop moved quickly, dodging the willow branches.
Every time a willow branch struck the ground, it would leave a huge ditch dozens of meters wide, bottomless.
The archbishop, who had dodged the willow branch’s attack, was unable to dodge the vines that were attacking from behind.
Just as the vines were about to entangle the archbishop, a pearl shot over from afar and instantly pierced through all the vines, allowing the archbishop to escape successfully.
The pearl exploded with a bright light and charged straight toward the willow tree.
The willow tree had also sensed the terrifying power contained within the pearl. Numerous tree branches shot out from the ground, blocking the willow tree’s front.
However, the pearl was like a hot knife through butter, directly piercing through all the tree branches blocking the path and striking the willow tree’s body.
An earth-shattering explosion sounded out. The enormous power caused even the experts present to be sent flying. Countless branches and vines danced in all directions. The willow tree’s state was like a mad demon, flapping around in all directions.
It was obvious that this attack had confused it.
The pearl flew back quickly after striking. Zhao Hao grabbed it in his hand, and his forehead was full of sweat.
This pearl was the Sea-Pacifying Pearl, a treasure comparable to a quasi-Sage treasure. With Zhao Hao’s current strength, he could only barely activate it and release a small portion of its power.
Even so, he had obtained a rich battle result.
The willow tree, which was originally thousands of meters wide, was blasted a few hundred meters deep into its roots. Even with the willow tree’s powerful devouring ability, it would probably take a long time to recover.
“Young friend, your methods are good. Watch me kill this tree…”
Kong Qingshan took out two Exalted Scholar treasures with great dominance. As the Master of the Kong family, the Exalted Scholar treasures enshrined in the Confucian Temple could be taken out at will. Only the quasi-Sage treasures could not be taken out.
With Kong Qingshan’s cultivation, using two Exalted Scholar treasures was already the limit.
The two Exalted Scholar treasures were an inkstone and the supreme brush.
Within the inkstone, an ink was automatically formed. Kong Qingshan waved the supreme brush and dipped it into the ink. Then, he lifted the brush and wrote using heaven and earth as paper.
Only after cutting through the crowd did he reach the Phoenix Pond.
Good workmanship and good weapons were mutually compatible.
He carried the good year to the heavens.
He seized the first branch of Toad Palace.
When he finished writing, his scholar aura soared to the sky.
All the words flew out and transformed into a 10,000-feet-long ax. It swept horizontally and chopped toward the huge willow tree.
The ax’s blade swept horizontally and chopped off all the branches in its path. It directly chopped at the big hole blasted out by the Sea-Pacifying Pearl.
A muffled sound rang out. The ten thousand feet large ax directly cut into the willow tree’s trunk. It only stopped after it had gone a thousand meters deep.
With the blessing of the two Exalted Scholar treasures, the power of this poem reached an extremely powerful level.
“Aaah!”
A cry of pain rang out from the body of the willow tree.
Although this attack heavily injured it, the three red-robed cardinals from the Vatican did not attack. Instead, they worked together to activate a scepter. A gentle light began to circulate around everyone’s bodies.
Zhao Hao did not resist. After absorbing the light, Zhao Hao shockingly discovered that his spiritual power was recovering at breakneck speed. Moreover, his overall strength had also been strengthened by two levels.
“Daaamn~ Group buff!”
Zhao Hao had never known that there was such an ability..
Seeing that the advantage was on their side, the group also attacked.
Zhang Dongxuan and Zhang Zhiwei were covered in golden light. They rushed to the front of the willow tree and punched out. Each punch could shatter a large part of the trunk.
The most powerful one was the expert of the Maoshan lineage.
All the Maoshan experts rushed over and used the divine invitation spell together. Heaven and earth pressure descended, and everyone could clearly feel a powerful aura entering Guan Yu’s statue.
“Please welcome the Daemon Conqueror of the three realms, Celestial Emperor Guan, to slay the devil in the mortal world…”
In an instant, the statue that was standing quietly suddenly moved, and its lifeless eyes became lively.
“What kind of monster dares to be so impudent in the mortal world!?” An angry roar sounded.
Guan Yu, who was hundreds of feet tall, waved the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand and looked forward. In an instant, Guan Yu fell into silence.
“Celestial Emperor, this is a catastrophe in the mortal world. I hope that you will kill this monster and return the world to a bright future,” the top Maoshan expert said respectfully to Guan Yu.
However… He was obviously overthinking. It was not that Guan Yu was not strong enough, but that their foundation in summoning was too weak under Zhao Hao’s observation.
At present, Guan Yu was only an early-stage Profoundl Void expert. Although Guan Yu was powerful, and it was possible for him to kill daemons above his level, the willow tree was not an ordinary daemon. Even an ordinary Tribulation Transcending daemon might not be as fierce as the willow tree.
Guan Yu’s arrogance had already been raised. Naturally, he could not admit that he could not take down the tree daemon. Thus, he immediately shouted in a domineering manner, “Such a small daemon is like a chicken or a dog. You can put up a bid and sell it in Seoul.”
He raised the Green Dragon Crescent Blade and charged toward the willow tree.
Zhao Hao looked at the current situation and felt that it would still be difficult to kill this tree daemon even if he invited Guan Yu down. After all, even if he cut off the branches above, it would still be difficult to deal with the roots deep underground.
Thus, Zhao Hao sent a voice transmission to Ma Zhuisheng.
“Let the people stationed at Mount Li go to the Qin Mausoleum. If we don’t call Emperor Shi out, we probably won’t be able to deal with this tree daemon.”
Ma Zhuosheng didn’t participate in the battle. Instead, he sent a battle report to the alliance from afar in order to understand the current situation.
After receiving Zhao Hao’s voice transmission, Ma Zhuisheng looked at the battlefield. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to send the news back.
The situation was already very grim. Although the alliance had an advantage now, the willow tree hadn’t used any big moves yet.
