3115 Make A Move
Over on the other side, when the tree demon saw that it was unable to gain anything from the situation, and that the situation was becoming more and more difficult, it tried to escape. Its roots penetrated deep into the ground and tunnelled away. Mu Ling and the others stabbed their swords into the ground to stop it from escaping, but they failed.
Upon seeing this, Feng Jiu’s eyes moved slightly. When she saw that the tree demon was about to escape from the area, she rushed forwards in a flash and grabbed the sword from Mu Ling’s hand and carried on forward. After she moved about ten metres forwards, the sword in her hand pierced into the ground with incomparable precision.
“Swish!”
“Ah!”
Accompanied with the sharp sword qi came a shrill scream. When the scream sounded, the branch that had originally been buried in the ground jumped out of the suddenly and exposed itself.
The body of the human-faced tree demon trembled and twitched. Its pair of bloodthirsty and ferocious eyes stared closely at Feng Jiu, as if it was asking why she wanted to cut off its path to escape.
The tree demon knew very well that were it not for this human being, it would definitely be able to escape. Who knew that she would make a move in the end.
Because of the violent resentment in its heart, it sprung out more than a dozen sharp branches with all its might and attacked Feng Jiu: “Since you want to stop my path to escape, I will bury you with me!”
“You think too highly of yourself!”
Feng Jiu glanced coldly, and with a breath of spirit energy in her hand, a burst of flames shot up suddenly. The flames ran along her hand to the sharp sword in her hand. Her body spun as she attacked, and the branches that were burned withered one after another. The fire ignited quickly and burned the body of the tree demon. Its shrill screams could be heard amidst the flames..
“Ah…”
The shrill screams gradually died down, and the surging breath in the air also dispersed with the breeze. As the fire burned itself out and extinguished, a green crystal that shone like emerald appeared on the ground.
Feng Jiu stepped forward and picked up the fist-sized green crystal with a smile on her face. The wood attribute crystal of the Millennium Dryad was a good thing.
The people around were stunned. They had fought for such a long time and it wasn’t comparable to Feng Jiu’s sword? When the tree demon disappeared, the branches that had been dancing around because it was controlled by the tree demon returned to its normal state.
They stood there and stared blankly, they were speechless for a long time.
How was he so deadly? Why was he so strong? As soon as he made a move, he was able to stop the tree demon’s escape. He was able to stab the tree demon’s body with one move and made it impossible for it to escape.
Amongst everyone, only Mu Ling knew of Feng Jiu’s real identity, so even Pei Zixuan and Ling Chengjin were unable to process what had just happened in front of them.
They knew that Mu Jiu was very strong, but the scenes that had gradually unfolded before them were more unexpected than they had anticipated.
“Roar!”
Before they were able to collect their thoughts, and before everyone was able to calm their breath, a low pitched roar sounded suddenly. The powerful coercion permeated through the forest along with the sound of the roar, and their hearts beat violently.
Sacred Beast!
That was definitely the breath of a Sacred Beast! Unfortunately, its strength was not low.
When they realised this, their expressions froze and their hearts beat violently. They wanted to escape but they didn’t know which direction to flee to. Because the sound of the beast’s roar permeated through the air and spread through the dense forest, they were unable to tell which direction it came from.
