Chapter 291: The Age of the Wood Spirit
Chapter 291: The Age of the Wood Spirit
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The blade, sharp as an axe, sliced into the old man's body, as if he were a stubbornly resilient enchanted tree. Even with the sharp edge of the Profound Abyss, it was an extremely challenging task.
Shen Yi's eyes were veiled in a thick red mist, resembling a fierce deity. His muscles rippled, and crimson patterns emerged on his arms.
After mastering the Nine Demon Transformation Magic, those thousands of drops of demon blood had long since fused with his physical body.
The blade sank in again by a third.
What further struck fear into the hearts of Zheng's second uncle was the purple-golden flames dancing on the blade. In just a few breaths, it charred the wound black and continued to crawl inward.
Hearing the miserable howls from above, the rest of the Zheng family experts paled. Only the Zheng family knew how terrifying the strength was that the young man was currently displaying.
This was truly an unexpected turn of events!
The next moment, they turned their gazes towards the woman in front of them.
"No..."
Xu Wanyun quickly realized the implication of their stares.
Did this group dare to consider her an easy target?
A group of people, the strongest among them barely in the Upper Realm, mostly in the Middle and Initial Realms of the Hybrid Yuan, actually dared to target her, a Hybrid Yuan at the Ultimate Realm.
"Set up the formation and protect yourself," she instructed Qing casually before charging forward.
Violent light surged on her long sword like a raging river.
The so-called Ultimate Realm's might could only be suppressed by a true Transformed Spirit.
Not only did Xu Wanyun suppress her cultivation, but she also didn't put on any airs of being an expert. The target she chose to face was the weakest among them.
If it were anyone else, seeing a powerful expert charging towards them, they would at least hesitate.
However, this person did not dodge or evade and instead greeted her with his sword, just like she did.
Under the onslaught of the powerful aura...
The Zheng family expert's weapon was effortlessly destroyed, not even leaving a fragment behind. Yet, there was no sign of panic on his face.
Instead, he seized the opportunity and reached out to grab the long sword.
Even though the Dao Infant was far stronger than a mortal body, it was still unthinkable to be so reckless and engage in a head-on collision.
This was a scene beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
However, in the next moment, just as the sword light was about to strike, Xu Wanyun felt her long sword beginning to slip from her grasp.
Her expression changed slightly as she focused her gaze.
She saw the Zheng family expert fearlessly taking her attack head-on, his body shredded from forehead to abdomen... only to reveal a body made of vines and wood, just like the old man.
With a bizarre smile on his face, he desperately tried to seize the woman's weapon with his hand.
Just as Xu Wanyun exerted her strength, his left arm, made of vines and wood, suddenly expanded, transforming into a giant hand several meters wide, and slammed it onto her body.
"..."
Xu Wanyun took a few steps back, successfully retrieving her long sword, but a look of astonishment appeared in her eyes.
With her high cultivation, she shouldn't have been injured so easily.
However, the problem was... her opponent seemed to be the weakest among them.
A mere Initial Realm Hybrid Yuan was able to hold his ground against her for a few exchanges.
Just what the hell was this thing!
As her thoughts raced, she recalled something even more incomprehensible.
If this wooden body was so resilient... how did Shen Yi manage to suppress and fight the old man?!
Xu Wanyun's palm struck her waist a few times.
Several sets of complex hand seals, specifically designed for her, floated out and enveloped her plain white shirt.
These were meant to protect her life in case she encountered a Spirit Transformation expert, but now they were being forced out by a group of freaks with lower cultivation than her.
It would be embarrassing if this were to be known.
"Ha, an unexpected harvest."
The group surrounded Xu Wanyun, and after a brief moment of stupefaction, their faces lit up with ecstatic joy: "Could this be someone from the Xu family?"
"Indeed, it's your great aunt!"
Xu Wanyun let out a cold laugh and leaped forward again.
With the support of the formation, an even more violent aura surged forth, far more powerful than before.
However, the group remained unhurried and showed no signs of dodging.
Just as the sword light burst forth, a layer of white mist suddenly covered the clear eyes of Xu Wanyun.
Shen Yi's eyes turned even more murderous, and his long saber pierced the old man's waist. With one hand, he grabbed the old man's left shoulder, and with the other, he clutched his right arm.
With a violent force, he tore the old man's body in half!
Sensing the approaching sword light from behind, the young man suddenly spun around and kicked Xu Wanyun in the face, sending her flying back.
"Puh!"
Xu Wanyun fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Even her Dao Infant seemed to be trembling.
She blankly opened her eyes, looking at the people before her, finally showing a hint of panic.
She had intentionally stabilized her mental state and even used a soul-protecting array, yet she was still unable to guard against the Zheng family's underhanded scheme.
Moreover, how could these people possess the strength to injure her?
The only thing she couldn't understand was why they were also staring at the sky in fear, including Qing, who had stopped setting up the formation with her hands.
A sharp, miserable howl exploded in the air.
The youth in the ink-colored shirt landed gently, holding a piece of rotten wood in each hand.
Shen Yi frowned slightly, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
He then turned his gaze to the remaining people.
"He's actually questioning this."
The Zheng family experts swallowed their saliva, their instincts urging them to flee, but their feet remained firmly rooted to the spot.
One of them even rushed towards the youth to attack!
Crack!
Shen Yi slightly turned his head, casually grabbing the man by the neck.
He lifted the man up.
His fingers slowly exerted force.
The man pounded on Shen Yi's wrist with all his might, but he couldn't budge it at all.
Until his entire neck exploded, turning into scattered wood shavings.
Shen Yi threw him to the ground.
The coldness in his eyes deepened.
If these were demons, then they should have lifespans.
If they were cultivators, where were their Dao Infants?
As his gaze swept over, the remaining few suddenly stiffened and fell backward, their bodies turning into wooden figures with loud bangs.
"How did you do that?"
Xu Wanyun felt that she had been out of touch with the outside world for too long, having stayed at home for so long.
To the extent that she couldn't even understand the means used by the opponent.
"..."
Shen Yi didn't have the time to pay attention to her, his eyes glowing with a golden light.
He unleashed the Mountain Lord Divine Ability to its fullest.
Several illusory figures appeared in his vision, bound by vines and dragged back towards the depths of the mountain villa.
Feeding oneself to a demon?
Shen Yi retracted his gaze, finally looking at Xu Wanyun beside him.
If he wasn't mistaken, after drinking that spirit tea, one would be controlled by the so-called Age Tree and turn into these neither human nor demon creatures.
The opponent's sword attack earlier had already posed a real threat to him.
It was only because his mental state was in disarray that he had left himself wide open.
"Aunt, you just attacked Shen Yi."
Qing saw the change in Shen Yi's expression and guessed his thoughts, quickly reminding him.
"So..."
Xu Wanyun paused, then touched her face.
Seemed like that previous attack wasn't done by the Zheng family.
"Calm down!"
She quickly raised her hand and took out a large array plate from her waist.
She then quickly performed a series of intricate hand seals.
The array seals on her clothes flew towards Shen Yi one after another, landing on his black shirt.
"Cold Armor Array, Returning Spirit Array, Wind Riding Array... You decide how to use them."
After speaking, she manipulated the hand array.
Countless shadows drilled out and rushed towards her brow, and soon, Xu Wanyun lay on the ground, motionless like a dead person.
"This is the Hundred Ghosts Spirit-Fixing Grand Array. Aunt won't affect you, Shen Yi."
Seeing her aunt's decisiveness, Qing was a little speechless.
It was clear that Aunt had recognized the gap between Shen Yi and herself... Forget about Aunt, even Qing herself felt a little afraid each time Shen Yi made a move.
Xu Wanyun blinked her dazed eyes, indicating her agreement.
