The First Sword

Chapter 49 Tree Demon

The ancient forest is full of thorns and deep grass and messy. The lush weeds didn't even cross the waist, and it was very inconvenient to walk. And there are almost no intact roads in the forest, and the group can only walk through the grass.

The towering ancient trees are very dense, and the rich branches and leaves cover the sky tightly. There is no moonlight and a dark area around.

The night wind blew, and the collision of leaves rang. In addition, no sound was heard, and no living things could be seen, as if there was a huge forest. Only more than 70 disciples of Taiqing Palace existed, and there was no bug or bird.

When people walk in this environment, it is inevitable that people in Taiqing Palace will be a little frightened, especially after being warned by He Fanglu to be careful, their hearts thump up and are always worried that demon disciples will suddenly attack them.

Yan Ji followed Liang Xiangling and walked forward, the more he felt that there was strangeness in the forest, and the hair behind him was straight and ominous. Thinking that a few days ago, those demon killers could find him at will, as if they knew his whereabouts, Yan Ji immediately reminded Liang Xiangling, "Sister! Be careful, there may really be demons here who are ambushed and ready to fight against the enemy at any time!"

Next to Liang Xiangling, there were also Zhang Linger, Qin Shen and others. After listening to Yan Ji's reminder, they trembled even more. They immediately subconsciously pulled out the long sword from the scabbard behind them and guarded across their chest, as if there were really magic killers lying here.

Other disciples heard the sound of drawing swords, thinking that someone had discovered the existence of the demon religion, and also pulled out the fairy swords on their backs and nervously made defensive moves.

For a moment, the sound of drawing swords from the forest kept ringing, and even people began to stand still, raising their swords and looking around, carefully looking for the figures of people in the demon religion.

Walking in front of him, he saw the team suddenly panic. He also thought that someone had found the enemy and asked loudly, "What's going on?"

His voice is not loud, but it is clearly transmitted to everyone's ears, which seems to be mixed with true power in his words.

After a long time, I heard Changmatsuko answer, "Nothing, it's the disciples who pulled out their fairy swords to defend against the enemy's sudden sneak attack."

It turned out to be a false alarm, and the people in Taiqing Palace breathed a sigh of relief and continued to move forward.

Liang Xiangling looked at Yan Ji, stared at him for a while, and whispered to him, "Look at what you have done, why are you make a fuss?"

Yan Ji secretly glanced at the eyes of the crowd looking at him resently and smiled awkwardly. He didn't know what to say, but without talking, it seemed that all the responsibility was on him alone. He smiled at a group of people and said, "I'm just reminding you. You are too bold. That's how scared I was."

After saying this, Yan Ji attracted countless people's angry eyes. They were unconvinced that they were timid and were thinking about this "model learned by our disciples". How can their words and deeds be learned?

"Okay! You are the boldest! You really can't get up." Mei Xiangxue said with a smile and stretched out her white jade hand and patted Yan Ji on the back gently, saying, "I have to teach you a lesson for your sister!"

This is the first time that Yan Ji saw this frost beauty smile at him, thinking that Mei Xiangxue often had an ice face three years ago. Her cold eyes seemed to kill people, but now she is like a person, smiling like a flower, so she guessed in her heart that it must be the change of Shimen. Therefore, she changed her personality.

Yan Ji thought that now, Mei Xiangxue had a much closer relationship with her senior sister. It seemed that there was no resentment. When she saw Mei Xiangxue smile at him, she had no resentment for Mei Xiangxue, and she also had a little good impression on her.

As soon as Mei Xiangxue's words fell, she heard a low hum of Mei Xiang's sword in her hand, and the faint pink sword light also lit up, as if warning of any danger.

Meixiangxue was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted, held the Meixiang sword and meditated for a moment, and said to everyone, "My 'meixiang sword' is made of ten thousand years of plum trees, which contains the aura of ten thousand years of divine wood. It has just buzzed, and I felt that there is also a divine wood aura nearby, is it..."

"Ah..."

Suddenly, the exclamation voice of a male disciple of Taiqing Palace came from the crowd, and the voice trembled, which was obviously frightened.

Everyone was shocked and were busy looking in the direction of the sound. A male disciple flew in mid-air, with his head down and his feet up, as if he had been wrapped in his ankles and hung in mid-air.

"Don't panic!"

With a shout from He Fanglu, a dazzling white light lit up in the crowd, instantly expelling the darkness, just like the day, with a panoramic view of everything. Only then did everyone see that He Fanglu sacrificed a white shining fairy sword in their hands. With the light of the incandescent fairy sword, everyone also saw that it was a vine hanging from the dense branches and leaves above.

"It's a tree demon! Be careful, everyone!"

He Fanglu reminded the disciples under the door in a quick voice that the white and bright "Yuqing" ancient sword in his hand quickly flew out of his hand. He saw a white light flashing twice in the air, cut off the vines wrapped around the disciples of Taiqing Palace, and then quickly flew back to the hands of He Fanglu.

The disciple of Taiqing Palace suddenly fell to the ground and sat there but couldn't get up. It seemed that his heart was still panicked and his legs and feet were numb.

However, it was his bad luck. Not long after he fell to the ground, he suddenly saw the ground shaking, like an earthquake, cracking several ravines. Then, several tree roots with thick wrists rushed out of the cracked gullies, tightly wrapped the Taiqing Palace disciple, tied it into a dumpling, and strangled him into an instant. In a few paragraphs, the blood is surging like a spring.

People burst into panic, and there were many female disciples who had never gone down the mountain and cried out of fear when they saw this bloody scene.

"Fly with the sword quickly! Get off the ground!"

He Fanglu hiss reminded everyone, but it was too late. Countless vines flew away and intertwined into a huge tree net in mid-air, like a pot lid, buttoning 70 or 80 disciples of Taiqing Palace under it. Not only that, from time to time, tree roots rushed out of the cracks in the ground, entangled people, and immediately strangled them alive. In the blink of an eye, Taiqing Palace lost nearly ten disciples.

When Yan Ji saw this scene, he also felt a feeling of fear in his heart, but he did not panic. He sacrificed the Jinghong fairy sword across his chest and protected more than a dozen of his peers around him with the strong fairy sword light, so that the vines and tree roots could not hurt the people in the aperture of the fairy sword. At the same time, He Fanglu sacrificed two fairy swords floating in front of him. At present, he saw the brilliance of the three ancient swords of blue, blue and white, and quickly shot straight around, as if a strong and unparalleled airflow, pushing countless vines away.

Immediately after that, the disciples of Taiqing Palace also began to pinch the secret sword. For a moment, the sound of the sword buzzed, and the sky seemed to be countless flying swords rampaging, colorful, cutting off the vines like cutting tofu.

Although the flying swords of the disciples of Taiqing Palace are sharp, it seems that those vines can never be cut, cut and grow again. The scene of the imperial sword removing the vines can never continue like this endlessly, right? After all, people's strength is limited, and they will eventually die of exhaustion. On this point, the disciples of Taiqing Palace are all thinking of a way in their hearts.

"Liu's nephew, try to burn the tree demon with your 'Nan Mingli Fire Sword'. The vegetation should be afraid of fire!" He Fanglu conducted Liu Changge in an orderly manner.

Liu Changge answered, and the magic formula in his hand was clenched like a mountain. He saw Nanming's fire sword flying in mid-air, and the rolling red flame spread away like a water flow, which was fierce and more brilliant than the scorching sun. Those vines touched the flame, as if people's hands were burned and hurriedly shrank back.

When the disciples of Taiqing Palace found that the tree demons were afraid of the weakness of burning, they all used fire spells such as "fire control" and "Xuanhuo Yuntian". At this moment, the forest is full of fire and smoke. I don't know where the vines have shrank, leaving only ordinary vegetation burning in the fire.

"Fly with your sword, don't burn it anymore!" He Fanglu commanded the disciples loudly.

But at this time, the people in the Taiqing Palace seemed to be burning, but the sword-holding elder issued an order not to set fire again, and they did not dare to disobey the order and stepped on their own flying swords to the clouds.

He Fanglu also flew into the air. After standing down, he looked sideways at the forest below and said to everyone: "This tree demon feeds on people. I'm afraid it has harmed a lot of people and animals. No wonder you can't even see a bird or beast here. The real body of the tree demon is hidden in this forest. If you want to find its real body and remove it to prevent it from harming people again, you have to burn this forest.

With that, He Fanglu held the sword formula in his hand and saw him holding the white and bright jade ancient sword, standing proudly in the clouds, walking seven steps according to the seven-star direction under his feet, and shouting: "Xuanhuo Yuntian!"

Then, the people in Taiqing Palace only felt a hot wave coming, and the heat swarmed around. The green leaves touched the heat wave and withered in an instant.

The blazing flame is like a spring waterfall, pouring down into the forest below, turning the forest into a sea of fire. Four fire dragons roared in the jungle and dispersed in four directions. Wherever they went, the vegetation was withered and depressed.

The disciples of Taiqing Palace saw the "Xuanhuo Yuntian" displayed by He Fanglu in his eyes, and there was a lot of noise and admiration were endless. It is also a type of "mysterious fire cloud sky". Ordinary disciples can only burn a radius of grass and trees at most, but when he Fanglu exerts it, it almost burns a forest with a radius of dozens of miles, and the depth of Taoism is self-evident.

For a while, the five bodies under the gate of Taiqing Palace all admired He Fanglu, especially the closed disciples of He Fanglu, all of whom were smiling and complacent.

Before long, the burning flame below gradually became smaller. It seems that the vegetation in the forest has been burned. The originally lush towering ancient trees now only have ashes spread on the ground.

Seeing this, people can't help but wonder whether the tree demon was burned to death? The whole forest has turned into ashes. Why don't you see the tree demon?
