"Trivial tricks! How could you harm me?" The Ten-Thousand-Year Tree Demon, known as the Ancestral Tree, fixed its eyes on the disposable magic treasure... the spear. With a cold snort and a wave of its right hand, a dazzling, green-glowing leaf flew out like a dart, heading straight for the spear.

The next moment...

The spear and the leaf collided, exploding with a loud bang.

From this brief encounter, Wang Xiaoqiang could feel the immense power of the opponent. In truth, the strength of this Ancestral Tree was equivalent to a pinnacle Purple Mansion Immortal in the Third Ice Realm, far beyond what Wang Xiaoqiang could contend with.

The green humanoid figure, the Ancestral Tree, after destroying Wang Xiaoqiang's disposable magic treasure, casually raised a hand, sending another glowing green leaf rushing towards Wang Xiaoqiang.

As fast as a meteor, it approached in an instant.

Wang Xiaoqiang's eyes narrowed. He struck out with a palm, lightning streaking from his palm to crash into the green leaf with a resounding explosion, shattering it.

"Hmm? You've got some skills, little guy. Haha... not bad. I was worried you were too weak, making this fight boring..." The Ancestral Tree smiled with delight. To it, this skirmish with Wang Xiaoqiang was as easy as playing house with a child. It wasn't concerned about subduing Wang Xiaoqiang but was rather worried he was too weak to be of any fun.

Never in his life had Wang Xiaoqiang been so belittled. His anger surged, and within him, the Raging Waves Swordfall swelled as five waves of swordfalls burst forth, arraying themselves and crashing towards the Ancestral Tree.

The Ancestral Tree's expression changed upon seeing this, its eyes fixed on the swordfall. Then, with a wave of its right hand, it swung five times in succession.

Every swing released a green leaf, which grew in size with the wind, becoming shield-like, glowing softly as if made of green jade. Five green leaves overlapped, forming a barrier before it.

Boom~~ Boom~~ Boom~~ Boom~~ Boom~~

The five waves of swordfall crashed into the five green leaves one after another, shattering each leaf. The five waves of swordfall smashed through the five leaves, but as they shattered the leaves, the swordfall exploded as well.

A deafening roar echoed through the mountains, causing the beasts to yowl in low growls.

"Do you have any more tricks? Bring them on." The Ancestral Tree playfully smiled, folding its arms with a relaxed demeanor, speaking in an aged, condescending tone, "I've lived for ten thousand years, and I don't believe I could stumble before a kid under thirty like you..."

"So what if you've lived ten thousand years? Your mind is immature, associating with the likes of that pig and dog, the King of Kunshan. Doesn't that lower your status?" Wang Xiaoqiang scoffed coldly.

"What I do is none of your concern!" The Ancestral Tree's smile froze, followed by a surge of fury. With a wave of its right hand, four green leaves flew out, glistening in green light, arranged in a line like a series of green darts, rushing towards Wang Xiaoqiang.

Knowing the immense energy within the small green leaves, Wang Xiaoqiang dared not be careless. He quickly raised his right hand, conjuring an Immortal Liquid Barrier.

The green leaves suddenly scattered mid-flight, attacking Wang Xiaoqiang from the front, rear, left, and right, four directions converging on him.

With a thought, Wang Xiaoqiang summoned four Fear Shields from within, positioning one in front, another behind, and the remaining two on the sides.

The next moment...

The four green leaves crashed onto the four Fear Shields simultaneously.

Boom... Boom... Boom... Boom...

Exploding on impact, the green leaves unleashed a massive shockwave, directly shattering the four Fear Shields like one of Wang Xiaoqiang's disposable magic treasures.

Fortunately, Wang Xiaoqiang had an additional Immortal Liquid Barrier that barely withstood the strong shockwave.

Startled, Wang Xiaoqiang retreated, drawing the Sun-Shooting Bow, preparing for long-range combat with the opponent.

Whizz~

In retreat, Wang Xiaoqiang launched an arrow, an Immortal Liquid Arrow streaking forth, targeting the head of the Ancestral Tree.

The arrow was as bright as light, as swift as electricity, arriving in an instant.

The Ancestral Tree fixed its eyes on the arrow, soon displaying disdain, raising its right hand as it transformed into a long tree branch with shimmering green light. The branch swung, slashing at the approaching arrow.

Snap!

The Immortal Liquid Arrow was struck down by the tree branch.

"Boy, that trick won't work. Change your tactics. Display all your spell techniques so I can let you die convinced..."

Wang Xiaoqiang drew the Sun-Shooting Bow again, this time releasing two arrows at once, with two bolts of lightning entwined around the Immortal Liquid Arrows.

Whizz~~ Whizz~~

The two arrows streaked out, entwined with lightning, shining like light, moving like electricity, closing the distance instantly.

The Ancestral Tree didn't even glance, extending both hands, which turned into gleaming tree branches, slashing towards the two arrows.

Snap~~ Crack~~

Snap~~ Crack~~

This time, the arrows were similarly knocked down, but upon impact, there was a thunderous crack. The electric arcs on the arrows struck the tree branches, igniting them.

"Ah, damn it~" The Ancestral Tree's expression drastically changed upon seeing its hands ignited by electric arcs. After cursing, it quickly shook its arms, infusing the burning branches with two streams of glowing green energy, immediately extinguishing the flames, leaving the branches charred black.

With another shake of its arms, two more streams of green light infused the branches, restoring them to their original green color before transforming back into hands with a flicker.

"You little brat, playing dirty with me, huh." The Ancestral Tree was thoroughly enraged, flashing forward and attacking. In the blink of an eye, it closed in on Wang Xiaoqiang, who, confident in his Undying Golden Body - Great Completion Realm, withstood this tree demon in close combat. He struck out with both palms, unleashing the Thunderclap Annihilation Palm at the Ancestral Tree.

The Ancestral Tree seemed afraid of the thunder and lightning, swiftly dodging, narrowly evading the attack, then lunged again, simultaneously waving its hands. Dozens to hundreds of green leaves spewed from its hands, sparkling with green light, surging towards Wang Xiaoqiang.

Knowing the formidable explosive power of those green leaves, Wang Xiaoqiang dared not take them head-on. His body flickered, transforming into Flowing Gold, which twisted and morphed into a golden spear.

As a spear, Wang Xiaoqiang flashed forward, thrusting towards the Ancestral Tree, deftly evading the green leaves. Finally, he narrowly avoided all the leaves, closing the remaining distance to the Ancestral Tree in an instant.

The Ancestral Tree, evidently not expecting Wang Xiaoqiang's physical body to be so formidable, able to transform into a spear, was taken by surprise, flustered for a moment.

Pfft!!!

Wang Xiaoqiang didn't give the Ancestral Tree any chance, piercing straight through its chest and emerging from its back, penetrating its body completely.

The Ancestral Tree's eyes widened, spewing large mouthfuls of green blood. Its form shifted from a humanoid to a section of tree branch.

Wang Xiaoqiang stared at the tree branch, puzzled. He thought that once the tree demon died, it should revert to a tree, so why did it turn into a mere branch? (To be continued.
