Chapter 2521: The Undying Cockroach
be more arrogant than himselfComing to his senses, he growled viciously, "Elder Wang, Elder Zhao, give these ignorant fools a severe lesson! Especially that pretty boy, cripple him first!"Upon receivi...This gigantic man-eating tree is clearly the king of this place, with countless plants of all sizes protecting it.
Lánqīngqiu had just launched her attack when several tall trees came rushing towards her, trying to block her way.
But just then, thunder rolled in the sky, and lightning bolt after lightning bolt struck down, turning these trees into ashes in an instant.
Ye Bufan's cooperation was still very in place, the Sky Thunder Orb mainly focused on this direction, assisting Leng Qingqiu in launching an attack.
The two worked in perfect harmony, one targetting the Tree King directly, ignoring everything else. The other controlled lightning, clearing any obstacles in their path.
At this point, the weakness of these plants is exposed: their low intelligence.
The other vegetation under siege seemed to be stunned. Instead of intensifying their attack to draw Ye Bufan's fire, they slowed down. Some even stopped completely.
It all happened in the blink of an eye. After Ye Bufan had chopped down a dozen or so trees that came charging at him, Leng Qingqiu was already in front of the Man-Eating Tree.
The sword in his hand drew a blade glow ten zhang long, striking directly at its roots.
As a gifted disciple of the Hanjian Immortal Sect who has comprehended the sword heart, and as the inheritor of the Sword Tomb's legacy, Leng Qingqiu's sword strike at this moment was truly fierce and unstoppable.
The man-eating tree seemed to sense the impending danger, its thick branches trembling constantly. At the same time, several extremely thick branches surged forward, trying to block the attack.
But it still underestimated the power of this sword. Although Leng Qingqiu's current cultivation is only at the peak of the Void-Dwelling realm, he absolutely has the ability to kill beyond his level, and his swordsmanship is the top-tier existence.
Those few branches, as soon as they went up to meet it, were instantly pulverized by the sharp sword energy.
Then, a flash of sword light swept across, cleaving the man-eating tree cleanly in two from its roots. The massive canopy crashed down with a thunderous roar.
Seeing this, Jiang Fangzhou and the others cheered, the sneak attack was finally successful.
As expected, the man-eating tree reigned over all vegetation. After it was felled, the rest seemed to stop and hesitate as if unsure what to do.
Ling Qing Qiu with one strike succeeded, and then retreated back. She let out a long sigh of relief, finally fulfilling her mission.
Hua Ru Yu gently shook her head, "The strength of Han Jian Xianzi is indeed powerful. I wasn't wronged in losing before!"
Huo Xieyu said, "The truly powerful one is that young man. Without his cooperation, there wouldn't have been a successful assassination this time."
Hua Fei Xue followed up, "That's right, his artifact is too powerful, it's practically the bane of these tree monsters."
All present were whispering excitedly to each other, but Ye Bufan frowned slightly.
Although killing the man-eating tree was a good thing, he keenly sensed that at this moment countless energies were gathering towards its roots, as if something bad was about to happen.
As expected, the next shocking scene unfolded.
The severed man-eating tree grew back at an astonishing speed, returning to its former state in the blink of an eye.
"This... This can't be possible"
The smiles on Jiang Fangzhou and others' faces froze instantly, their eyes widened, almost popping out of their sockets.
Obviously, no one expected this to happen. This tree monster is actually unkillable.
Leng Qingqiu was just about to withdraw when he saw this scene, his expression instantly became solemn. Things were far more troublesome than he had imagined.
"Come again, I don't believe you can kill me!"
Taking advantage of the man-eating tree's youth and unsteady footing, she unsheathed her sword once more, unleashing a flurry of blades.
This time, the attack was even more ferocious and sharp. It not only cleaved the Man-Eating Tree in two, but also with a wave of sword light, it shredded it into a sky full of wood chips.
Ye Bufan shook his head slightly. This girl had obviously gone in the wrong direction. The problem wasn't with the canopy now, but with those strange tree roots.
As it turned out, his judgment was correct. Though Leng Qingqiu's action this time was quite ruthless, it didn't have much of an impact on the outcome.
Although the man-eating tree was cut down, just like last time, it quickly grew back.
Now everyone's expressions changed. Facing such an unkillable monster, there was no hope of victory at all.
"Alright, Qingqiu, this time it's my turn!"
After finishing his incantation, he activated the Heaven Thunder Pearl with all his might and launched a fatal strike at the Man-Eating Tree.
For a moment, thunder rolled and lightning flashed like raindrops, turning the entire man-eating tree to ashes in an instant.
And that wasn't all. Ye Bufan's purpose was clearly more than just that, as lightning continued to strike the thick tree roots.
Another flash of lightning and thunder, the roots left behind by the man-eating tree were completely pulverized.
But through this fierce attack, the power of lightning contained within the Tianlei Pearl was completely consumed, instantly becoming dim and lifeless.
Ye Bufan reached out and took it back. This treasure would probably need some time to recover before it could be used again.
"Ye Ge is still the best! He should be done for this time!"
Jiang Fangzhou clenched her fists, her face beaming with excitement.
Others feel the same way, believing that this time they have succeeded in wiping out the problem completely.
Ye Bufan was still solemn, showing no sign of ease, because he could still feel the energy of the earth gathering again towards that direction.
It is clear that this monster tree has very deep roots. The Heaven Thunder Orb just destroyed the surface layer, and did not truly achieve the goal of eradicating it from its roots.
This way, this guy is basically an unkillable cockroach.
He looked at the people beside him: "Everyone, get ready! The big battle is about to begin!"
"Um... what do you mean Isn't this guy already dead"
Jiang Fangzhou was stunned. As soon as the man-eating tree died, the surrounding vegetation stopped moving. In his view, the battle was over.
"Hua Ru Yu also chimed in, "Little brother, aren't you joking with us"
Ye Bufan didn't bother explaining to them, anyway things were about to happen soon.
Just then, the earth trembled. A moment later, a new root sprouted where the man-eating tree had stood, followed by a trunk and finally, a canopy of leaves.
Before everyone could figure out what was happening, another towering man-eating tree appeared before them.
Ye Bufan sighed, this guy was indeed powerful, no wonder he became the king of all tree monsters here.
Jiang Fangzhou was instantly dumbfounded: "My god, this is a huge problem!"
After being reborn again, the man-eating tree appeared extremely enraged, its massive canopy trembling constantly.
This time, everyone realized that Ye Bufan was telling the truth. The war was about to begin again, and without the protection of the Tianlei Pearl, it would be incredibly brutal.
Indeed, this time the Man-eating Tree seemed to have lost patience with its gradual consumption of them. It no longer sent out waves of subordinates in batches to attack, but instead surged forward in a single, overwhelming tide.
Although all present were strong, they seemed extremely helpless in the face of the overwhelming number of tree monsters.
Huā Fēixuè once again invoked his petal artifact, protecting the three people within it. However, the protective range had already been compressed to its absolute limit.
On Ye Bufan's side, everyone launched a frantic counterattack, but the opponent was too powerful.
He, Leng Qingqiu, and Luo Xiang could still barely cope with the situation, but only those like Jiang Fangzhou with the cultivation base of the fusion period were completely overwhelmed.
As soon as the battle began, he and Lu Xueman, Hu YaoYao, and a few others were immediately entangled by a deluge of vines, completely losing their ability to resist.fore this, Murong Cheng Hu had been incredibly low-key, never showing off his abilities. No one expected him to become a Martial Saint today."Murong Chenghu burst into laughter: 'This old man has been...
