"Great! With the two elders giving it their all, we're sure to take down that ancient tree this time!"

"That's for sure. Probably only an Eighth Layered Venerable could withstand such a terrifying attack. No matter how formidable that ancient tree is, it can't reach this level."

Behind them, a group of martial artist disciples were extremely excited.

However, Lin Xuan squinted his eyes, a hint of a cold smile playing at the corner of his lips.

He didn't believe that these two's attacks could pose any lethal threat to that ancient tree.

As expected, the ancient tree wouldn't sit idly by. It perceived the threat and immediately radiated an extraordinary light all over.

Countless silver leaves shook and instantly formed nine silver serpents, wildly dancing in the air and swiftly repelling the terrifying thunder bombardment.

The red fruits, in turn, endlessly manifested, forming phoenixes that were bathed in flames, quickly charging toward the demon wolves on the ground.

Countless energies collided and then exploded, engulfing the entire space in an instant.

The disciples' faces changed dramatically, and they retreated one after another, unable to withstand those energy impacts.

But Lin Xuan did not retreat. Inside him, countless Dao Sword Qi surged out and quickly obliterated the turbulent streams and residual energy waves.

Near him, the air was extremely calm, without any trace of energy turbulence.

The entire space was filled with raging turbulence, brimming with infinite danger, yet around Lin Xuan, it was eerily quiet, with not a hint of energy turbulence.

When everything dissipated, the distant martial artists were shocked.

Because Duan Tianlang and another elder battling with the ancient tree were retreating in an unusually sorry state.

Both of them had suffered some injuries.

"What? Did they fail?"

Seeing this scene, everyone panicked. If even these two experts couldn't obtain the spirit fruit by joining forces, it would be challenging for anyone else.

Duan Tianlang and the elder from the Divine Bird Palace were even more shocked. They stared blankly ahead, then shook their heads with a sigh, opening their palms.

In their palms, each held a silver leaf.

This was the spoils they had snatched with all their might just now.

However, they weren't at all joyful; instead, a sense of terror arose within them.

They were both Seventh Layer Venerables, and not just any Seventh Layer Venerables.

Their combined combat power was incredibly strong, yet they had only managed to snatch two silver leaves and even sustained some injuries.

It had to be said, the tree demon ahead was too powerful, far beyond their imagination.

They even suspected Lin Xuan had known about this all along, which was why he didn't intercept them.

Thinking of this, Duan Tianlang turned to look back.

When he saw the mocking smile at the corner of Lin Xuan's mouth, he was even more convinced of his thoughts.

"Damn it, this kid knew all along!"

"So that's it. With that kid's personality, how could he not take action? Turns out he knew the tree demon ahead is tough to deal with!"

The elder from the Divine Bird Palace also looked grim.

At this moment, Lin Xuan slowly spoke: "Your performance was really pathetic. The dignified Seventh Layer experts and elders of top forces working together, and you only got two leaves."

"If I were you, I'd feel too ashamed to live in this world."

"I advise you to find some tofu and just smash yourselves to death, save your family the embarrassment."

"What did you say!"

"Kid, are you seeking death?"

Duan Tianlang and the elder from the Divine Bird Palace flew into a rage. Although they didn't succeed, they wouldn't allow themselves to be ridiculed like this.

"What did I say? I only speak the truth!" Lin Xuan sneered, "No skills, yet wanting to monopolize this place, truly arrogant!"

"You two hurry up and leave, don't delay my turn."

Upon hearing this, Duan Tianlang and the elder from the Divine Bird Palace trembled with anger, and even the disciples' faces darkened.

Duan Tianlang roared and was about to rush up to fight Lin Xuan.

But at this time, the elder from the Divine Bird Palace firmly held him back, then coldly said, "Mr. Duan, don't be impulsive."

"That tree demon is so formidable, only an Eighth Layered Venerable could contend with it. No matter how strong that kid is, he doesn't have the combat power of an Eighth Layered Venerable."

Hearing this, Duan Tianlang calmed down.

"Hmph, I want to see, what skills does this kid have to dare ridicule us!"

After speaking, he and the elder from the Divine Bird Palace both retreated, watching coldly.

The disciples from those two major forces also sneered. They did not believe Lin Xuan could surpass their two elders.

"Let this kid show off, just wait to see how he wraps it up when he fails."

"He's joking, who does he think he is, even wanting to subdue such a terrifying tree demon, truly arrogant!"

"Just watch, he will definitely fail."

No one believed Lin Xuan would succeed, even Zhao Xue showed a suspicious expression.

"Lin Xuan, do you have a plan? If we work together, we should be stronger than those two, but I'm afraid we still can't pick much."

"But picking five or six portions should be possible."

Lin Xuan replied with a smile: "No need to work together yet, I have a plan."

Somehow, seeing Lin Xuan's smile, Zhao Xue felt a great sense of assurance, because throughout their journey, she had seen too many miracles happen with Lin Xuan.

So this time, she also chose to believe in Lin Xuan.

"Kid, can you handle it, or should I set up an array to help you?"

Beside them, the Dark Red Divine Dragon also looked worried.

"No need, let me try first."

Upon hearing Lin Xuan, the Dark Red Divine Dragon quickly explained: "Kid, you must be careful. If that ancient tree is not an exception, it should be a tree demon."

"And its strength is really formidable, probably reaching the level of an Eight-star Demon General."

"Otherwise, it would be impossible for those two to fail even working together."

"Now it seems the only way to truly subdue that guy would be if an Eighth Layered Venerable took action."

"But if we work together, perhaps we could seize quite a few spirit fruits."

However, after hearing that, Lin Xuan still shook his head. He naturally knew that ancient tree ahead was a tree demon.

And a very strong tree demon at that, probably in terms of combat power, no one could contend with it right now.

However, precisely because it was a tree demon, he had a way to subdue it.

The next moment, he took a step forward, coldly gazing ahead, and loudly exclaimed.

"I know you've gained spiritual wisdom and can understand what I say."

"Hand over half of the silver leaves and fruits obediently, and I can spare you your life!"

What?

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

They thought Lin Xuan would forcefully attack and assault the tree demon, but unexpectedly, he actually threatened it.

"Is this kid out of his mind? If such threats worked, would it be his turn?"

"Hahaha, this is killing me with laughter! I always knew he wasn't capable, but I didn't expect he'd be this odd, threatening a tree demon."

"This is the most foolish thing I've seen in my life. That tree demon isn't even afraid of two Seventh Layer Venerables, how could it fear the threat of a Sixth Layer Heaven kid."
