"Is this a monster?"
In the center of the scarlet world, a towering ancient tree stands tall. The dark branches and leaves with traces of blood, as well as the strange textures on the trunk, make people feel shuddering.
This is obviously a tree, but it seems to be alive, and it is peering at these hundreds of warriors from the Demon-Suppressing Legion with a greedy look.
Xianghai clamped the horse's belly and tightened the reins. His right hand holding the long knife was soaked with sweat. He carefully looked at the ancient trees in front of him and said to the hundreds of warriors of the Demon-Suppressing Legion behind him, "Get ready to light the fire." !”
After hearing the marshal's order, the warriors did not hesitate. They spread out one after another, collecting dry firewood and other combustion aids in the scarlet world, and then walked cautiously toward the ancient tree, preparing to pile the combustion aids under the tree. Set fire to this weird demon tree.
Yan Cheng hugged the dry firewood and cautiously approached the demon tree.
Step by step, Yan Cheng was getting closer and closer to the Demonic Tree. When he saw clearly the strange and handsome face on the tree trunk, his expression suddenly changed.
Yao Lie!
It’s Yao Lie’s face! This face was too familiar to Yan Cheng.
Before Yan Cheng could think carefully, there was a swishing sound in his ears. He immediately tensed up and yelled, "Everyone, be careful!"
As soon as Yan Cheng finished speaking, countless tree roots emerged from the ground and rushed toward everyone at extremely fast speeds like pythons.
Without the slightest hesitation, Yan Li immediately stirred up the energy and blood all over his body, and the red energy and blood shot up into the sky, shattering the strange tree roots one after another as he waved his hands.
Yan Cheng was able to react quickly because he had the cultivation of a martial arts master, but the other warriors of the Demon-Suppressing Legion did not have Yan Cheng's cultivation.
Poof! Poof!
The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh continued one after another, and the bloody roots pierced the hearts of the warriors of the Demon-Suppressing Legion.
"What's this?"
"Help!"
Amidst the screams of the Demon-Suppressing Legion warriors, the fleshy bodies of some of the Demon-Suppressing Legion warriors shriveled up quickly, and then turned into dry human skin.
When the wind blows, the human skin immediately turns into powder.
In the center of the scarlet world, ancient trees sprout new branches and leaves at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In an instant, most of the hundreds of demon-suppressing warriors were reduced.
On horseback, Marshal Xiang Hai of the Demon-Suppressing Legion was furious. He flew out with a long sword, "How brave!"
He flew out towards the sea, and swept the sword in his hand fiercely. The shocking sword light stretched hundreds of feet, intending to cut off the weird demon tree in one strike.
clang!
The harsh sound of gold and iron clashing echoed on the scarlet demon plain. Xiang Hai's mountain-breaking knife struck the thick trunk of the demon tree, but it did not cut the demon tree in half as Xiang Hai expected.
Xiang Hai held the handle of the knife and looked at the white mark on the tree trunk with solemn eyes. He did not look at the broken blade. He tried his best with the knife, but it was unable to cause damage to this weird demon tree.
This is no ordinary monster, and it is simply not something they can deal with!
For a moment, Xiang Hai thought a lot, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Twenty years ago, there were monsters that wreaked havoc on the world. The destructive power of each big monster was astonishing, but Xiang Hai had never seen such a monster that could not even be damaged by an angry blow from a martial arts master.
"Walk!"
"Retreat immediately!"
Xiang Hai shouted decisively and ordered the remaining warriors of the Demon-Suppressing Legion to evacuate. The duty of the Demon-Suppressing Legion is to slay demons and defend the court, but the prerequisite for slaying demons is to be able to deal with demons, rather than making meaningless sacrifices.
Looking at the rapidly growing branches and leaves of the demon tree, everyone understood that when the demon tree swallowed flesh and blood, it would grow at an extremely fast speed. The essence of flesh and blood was the nourishment of the demon tree.
And these warriors of the demon-suppressing legion, who are full of energy and blood, are the best nourishment for the demon tree. An ordinary demon-suppressing legion warrior can provide more nutrients to the demon tree than the population of a village can provide to the demon tree.
If you continue to stay here, not only will you not be able to kill the demon, but you will also become nourishment for the demon tree.
Everyone should understand this problem. The well-trained warriors of the Demon-Suppressing Legion immediately gathered together, gripped their long knives, and carefully watched their surroundings, wary of the tree roots that would jump out from the ground at any time, and quickly followed the path they came from. return to.
"You're already here, where else do you want to go?"
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded in everyone's ears, and people looked in the direction of the sound.
Under the demon tree, three figures walked out of the trunk.
In the center is a handsome man with a well-proportioned figure, wearing a black robe and a blood-colored cloak, with a full head of silver hair, and a demon tree mark between his eyebrows.
Beside the man, there were two identical old men in dark green robes, dark green beards, and leaning on canes with dead vines.
Seeing Yao Lie's dramatic change in image and temperament, Xiang Hai narrowed his pupils and said in a solemn tone, "Bai Long, it turns out you are the one causing trouble."
"You are originally from the dragon clan. Why did you degenerate into a demon? Why did you do such outrageous things? Aren't you afraid of the Dragon King and Dragon Ancestor cleaning up the family?"
"Hehehe, clean up the family? Xiang Hai, you are wrong, it should be me who cleans up the family!"
"You ask me why I degenerated into a demon, you ask me why I did such outrageous things? No, you shouldn't ask me. You should ask Li Hao, ask Geng Jin, and ask Li Zhige ! It’s all their fault that this emperor is in this state!”
"But I also want to thank them. If it weren't for them, how could I have such power?"
Yao Lie's black lips grinned, revealing a row of neat white teeth. The smile on his face was wild and crazy. He opened his arms. The demon tree opened its canopy in response to his movements, including Xiang Hai and Yan Cheng. The warriors of the Demon-Suppressing Legion are shrouded.
唰唰唰!
Countless tree roots emerged from the ground, dancing behind Yao Lie like tentacles.
"Xiang Hai! Yan Cheng! Dedicate your flesh and blood to this emperor! As long as I devour you two human martial arts masters, as long as I devour these hundreds of soldiers of the demon-suppressing legion, my emperor's power will increase to An incredible situation!”
"Come on, throw yourself into the arms of this emperor!"
Yao Lie opened his arms, and the branches and leaves of the demon tree immediately fell down, and countless tree roots rushed out densely, trying to drown everyone including the two martial arts masters Xiang Hai and Yan Cheng.
The branches and leaves drooped, blocking out all light and turning the world into darkness.
Just when Yan Cheng was alert to his surroundings and prepared to fight to the death, Xiang Hai's voice came to his ears, "Yan Cheng, listen. Bai Long has degenerated into a demon. The power he has now is not something we can do." Comparable.”
"Later, I will burn all my skills and fight to the death for you. Ignore the others, leave here as quickly as possible, return to Luoyang and report to His Majesty what happened here."
Yan Cheng couldn't see Xiang Hai's expression. He frowned subconsciously and said in a deep voice, "Marshal, I will not leave you alone, let alone the brothers of the Demon-Suppressing Legion. Let's fight out together."
In the darkness, Xiang Hai shook his head with a serious expression, "Yan Cheng, I don't need my mother-in-law at this time. You are still young, you still have an old mother to support, and a wife waiting for you to come home. You are the mainstay of the imperial court and the future of the human race. You can't die here."
"As the marshal of the demon-suppressing army, I order you to escape from this place quickly and pass the news back to Luoyang and deliver it to His Majesty."
In the darkness, the Grand Marshal of the Demon-Suppressing Legion turned towards the sea. He frowned and whispered softly, "Yan Cheng, you must leave alive! His Majesty's time is running out, and the human race needs a sea-fixing needle."
The next moment, the surging power in the body of Xiang Hai, a veteran martial arts master, went berserk. The true energy from his body surged and gathered into a blue magic sword. With one strike, it shattered countless branches and leaves, shattered countless blood-colored tree roots, and shattered End the darkness and restore light to the world once again.
On the scarlet demon plain, Xiang Hai turned into a blue magic sword. He looked back at Yan Cheng and struck at Yao Lie with the determination to die.
Yan Chenghu's eyes were filled with tears. He looked at the magic sword that struck Yao Lie, and then looked at the warriors of the Demon Subduing Legion who were running in all directions to the west. He turned around and strode away in the direction he came from.
