C9 Cause and Effect of Liquidation
"Old Xie, are you alright?" Zhang Wu Ming quickly asked Xie Bian.
"It's fine, I was tricked by this old Daoist. Quickly, think of a way to stop them. If that old Daoist were to kill the tree demon, then things would go out of control!" Xie Bian said to Zhang Wu Ming.
At this time, countless vines swept out from the tree demon towards the Daoist Priest. The Daoist Priest saw the fierce momentum and hurriedly dodged to the side to avoid the sharp edge.
The Daoist Priest perfectly dodged the Tree Demoness' attack, but the Ghost Face Stone Statue that the Daoist Priest worshipped was pierced through by the Tree Demoness' vines.
BANG! The sound of stones shattering came from the stone statue, after the stone statue that was originally surrounded by Evil Qi was shattered, Zhang Wu Ming could feel an extremely evil aura emitting from it, it felt as though it was something that could destroy everything, no matter if it was physical or human.
However, that Taoist suddenly leaped forward and in a short moment, the Taoist had dodged the vines of the tree demon and arrived in front of the broken stone statue.
It was obvious that the Daoist Priest did not come for the stone statue, because when he stopped, he stepped on the ghost face of the statue. Moreover, the Daoist Priest did not have a single trace of regret on his face.
Crack! The originally intact Ghost Face was instantly smashed into pieces by the Daoist Priest's stomp.
What that Taoist wanted was the peach wood sword edge that was hidden within the stone statue. Zhang Wu Ming and Xie Bian both noticed that after the stone statue was destroyed, a sword edge that resembled a peach wood sword revealed itself.
That is to say, seeing the Daoist priest kowtowing to this stone statue was just an act on his part? Just thinking about it made Zhang Wu Ming feel an indescribable chill.
The Daoist Priest extended his hand and pulled out the blade of his sword. Afterwards, he placed the blade of his sword on his horsetail whisk, causing it to turn into a sword hilt.
"Interesting, interesting. Since this Taoist has already used his trump card!" With that, the Daoist priest inserted a spell with unknown symbols into the peach wood sword. Following that, he continued to chant some strange incantation.
Zhang Wu Ming didn't know what this Taoist wanted to do next, but Xie Bian spat out a few words, "Not good, he wants to control the treeman!"
The tree demon continued to move forward. The tree demon's huge claws struck towards the Daoist Priest's head. If he were to be struck by such a tyrannical heavy blow, his entire head would probably shatter on the spot, right?
However, the Daoist Priest's movements were much faster than the tree demon. While the tree demon's huge claws were still dancing in the air, the Daoist Priest had already brandished his sword and chopped at the tree demon's claws.
The entire process seemed to the Daoist Priest to have been described by the word 'relaxed'. Under this powerful force, the tree demon even fell to the ground, and the Daoist Priest really did not seem to have much strength left.
"Little treeman, you have committed many evil deeds. Do you think I won't punish you on behalf of the heavens today? Will I subdue a monster like you?" The Daoist priest calmly said.
The tree demon refused to admit defeat and stood up. There was nothing she could do about her anger. Seeing how this Daoist priest was asking for a beating, how could she just let it go?
"Smelly Taoist, die!" The tree demon used its claws to prop itself up and then immediately stood up.
However, the Daoist Priest had stabbed his peach wood sword into the ground. It seemed that he had thrown his weapon away, so the tree demon wanted to use this opportunity to directly tear the Daoist Priest into two.
However, the Daoist priest's lips curled up slightly. He held a talisman that was folded into a nearly circular shape and stuck it onto the peach wood sword stuck into the ground. Then, he waved his finger and talked about the talisman.
Bright white lights shot out from the runes, causing Zhang Wu Ming and Xie Bian to retreat a few steps, but the white lights didn't attack them. Instead, they bound the Treant completely with chains.
"You little monster, you dare to put on airs in front of me?" Laughable! " That Taoist mocked.
Although the tree demon didn't seem to want to give up, her struggles were useless. The restriction had tightly bound her body, leaving her with no way to resist.
This caused Zhang Wu Ming to be stunned, "Damn, what a strong power."
However, the Daoist Priest did not stop there. He was still chanting some strange incantation, and a black ray of light passed from his peach wood sword into the body of the tree demon. The tree demon was gradually covered by an evil aura.
This way, even Zhang Wu Ming understood what was going on, that Taoist wanted to control the tree demon to deal with him instead!
"Die!" Dong Tao! You people, I will kill all of you! " The tree demon had clearly returned to its original state, in other words, the state it was in when it was under the control of the Daoist priest.
Subsequently, the Daoist Priest put away the peach wood sword and runes on the ground, and the restriction on the tree demon's body was completely removed. That Daoist Priest wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone.
"White Impermanence!" "Today, I will take a good look at how strong you and your little ghost are!" The Daoist Priest laughed maniacally as he spoke.
At this moment, Xie Bian took out a bone club from his chest and placed it in front of Zhang Wu Ming, blocking the Treant's attack.
The giant claw of the tree demon struck Xie Bian's skull bar. Xie Bian quickly turned the skull on top of it, causing it to emit a faint white light. Furthermore, a lot of white smoke shot out from the skeleton's empty eyes.
The Treant's claws seemed to have hit a hot potato, as she backed off a little, Zhang Wu Ming and Xie Bian managed to gain some space to attack and defend.
However, the tree demon didn't stop attacking because of this. She still kept saying, "I'll kill you, I'll kill you!"
The tone was terrible, but the repetition didn't seem to make any sense.
"White Impermanence, I think it can't be that you can't even deal with a little tree demon like this, right?" The Daoist Priest standing at the side suddenly said.
Right now, Zhang Wu Ming really wanted to teach this damnable Taoist a lesson, but since he had to think of a way to deal with the attack on his waist and also protect Dong Tao's soul, he was too busy.
More importantly, if even Xie Bian was unable to deal with this Daoist Priest, then he would only be sending himself to his death.
At this moment, the tree demon stretched out many vines towards Xie Bian. It most likely wanted to bind Xie Bian directly.
However, Xie Bian quickly jumped up into the air using a small tree nearby. Although those vines closely followed behind Xie Bian, they weren't as fast as him.
Xie Bian quickly waved his bone club to clear the vines one by one. At the same time, the tree demon stood in front of Zhang Wu Ming with its doors wide open. After all, this guy seemed to be focusing all of his attention on dealing with Xie Bian.
"Kid, use your blood to remove the seal!" Xie Bian took advantage of this situation and lowered his head to speak to Zhang Wuming.
His own blood could break the seal? Was it really that powerful? Then wouldn't his own blood be as strong as immortal water? Zhang Wu Ming himself was very surprised.
However, since Xie Bian had already said so, Zhang Wu Ming had no reason to refuse. He quickly cut his own skin and spilled his blood on the Treant like before.
Luckily, he was a ghost servant now, so if Zhang Wu Ming was a mortal now, who knew how many times he would have been infected.
Zhang Wu Ming's blood did have an effect, the Treant's movements slowed down as Zhang Wu Ming's blood stained its body, and the Evil Qi that was wrapped around her started to leak out.
"Damn, this Messenger has this kind of trick?" That Taoist was shocked and absolutely refused to allow his spell formation to be broken by Zhang Wu Ming, thus he immediately brandished his peach wood sword and used it on the tree demon, wanting to stop Zhang Wu Ming's actions.
At that moment, it was as though the two forces were clashing with each other. The tree demon was also being attacked by the two powers, although it did not affect her mental state, she was no longer able to do anything.
Dong Tao, who was standing behind Zhang Wu Ming, also seemed extremely terrified. However, at this moment, he couldn't do anything at all.
"Dong Tao!" Listen up, you have already made a mistake in this matter, but the cause has nothing to do with you. Xie Bian started to explain his origins to Dong Tao. At this moment, a strange aura started to emit from his body. The aura turned into white threads that surrounded Xie Bian's body.
On the other hand, Zhang Wu Ming smiled. He knew that Xie Bian was about to transform into a White Impermanence to settle the cause and effect.
However, Xie Bian did not continue. He stretched out both his index and middle fingers.
"Kid, with this special situation, it would be difficult for me to transcend the level of the dead soul." Kid, with this special situation, it would be difficult for the dead soul to transcend the level of the dead soul. After saying that, Bian Po waved his finger towards Zhang Wu Ming, and Zhang Wu Ming immediately felt a mysterious power surround his body.
Zhang Wu Ming knew what he should do next, so he also said to Dong Tao: "You killed Liu Fan because that Taoist did something good, you were just taken advantage of by him!"
"And you, the Redbud Tree that you cultivated for a long time was targeted by that Taoist. The purpose of having Dong Tao bury your corpse under the tree was so that you would be contaminated with Liu Fan's evil aura and become a treeman!"
"After you become a demon, you want to take revenge on Dong Tao, but Dong Tao obtained talismans from that Taoist that can change his fate to someone else. That's why you killed his colleagues one by one."
"Do you understand now? That Taoist was waiting for you to kill enough people to eliminate you! "
