Just as Wang Xiaoqiang was staring at that piece of tree branch in confusion, a suction force appeared out of thin air. That branch was sucked away by the force with a swish, heading toward the demon body of the Ten-Thousand-Year Tree Demon, which was like a heaven-piercing giant pillar, and in the end, that branch reinserted itself onto the giant tree, indistinguishable from an ordinary branch?
"Haha, Wang Xiaoqiang, you didn't think you killed me, did you? You're just too naive. What you killed was nothing but a trivial part of my body. Look, it's fully restored..." A human face reappeared at the crown of the demon tree, and it opened its mouth to laugh.
Sure enough, when Wang Xiaoqiang looked over, he saw that the branch he had just destroyed was now swaying, lush with green leaves. full of vitality, not dead at all.
"Hmph, my Ancestral Tree has a ten-thousand-year lifespan. It's not easy to kill, not even a small Daluo Golden Immortal like you, or even a group of Purple Mansion Immortals, could kill me," the Ancestral Tree boasted proudly.
Wang Xiaoqiang now understood that what he had just been fighting was only a piece of branch from the Ten-Thousand-Year Tree Demon, and the true form of the Ancestral Tree was that enormous demon tree.
With this realization, Wang Xiaoqiang's heart sank. This Ten-Thousand-Year Tree Demon was too terrifying; a mere branch had enough power to contend with him, and he had to exert immense effort to destroy it. The strength of its main body must be even more horrifying, and he absolutely would not be able to resist if it went all out.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoqiang had the urge to retreat. He immediately waved his right hand, the Storage Ring lit up, and two red Flying Swords flew out from the Storage Ring, landing at his feet, ablaze, flying toward the distance at high speed.
"Haha, little guy, are you scared?" Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang escape, the Ancestral Tree laughed triumphantly, "Trying to escape from my grasp? No way..."
As the Ancestral Tree spoke, its massive trunk shook violently, shouting, "Great Demon Life Technique!"
Before the shout faded, a giant tree burst forth from the ground in front of the direction of Wang Xiaoqiang's escape, instantly surpassing Wang Xiaoqiang in height, blocking his path, and it continued rising in height.
Wang Xiaoqiang turned and flew to the left, only to see another giant tree burst out from ahead on the left, soaring higher than the Tree Demon's main form, and even higher than the newly formed tree.
When Wang Xiaoqiang turned to fly to the right, another giant tree burst out, blocking his path.
Front, back, left, and right, all four directions were sealed off, leaving Wang Xiaoqiang with no choice but to fly upward into the sky.
But just as Wang Xiaoqiang flew upward, four massive holes, the size of city gates, opened on the tree trunks, and from these openings shot out countless tree tendons, which were like greatly enlarged silkworm threads, rushing toward Wang Xiaoqiang.
Wang Xiaoqiang drew the Penglai Immortal Sword and slashed. The Sword Spirit howled, and the Penglai Immortal Sword transformed into thousands of sword shadows, slicing toward the charging tree tendons.
Swish, swish, swish, swish...
The four big bunches of tree tendons were completely severed. None could entangle him.
"Great Demon Life Technique, grow, grow, grow..." The Tree Demon shouted, and with its shout, the main body of the demon tree trembled.
Boom, boom, boom, boom...
At this moment, four more gigantic tree bodies shot forth from Wang Xiaoqiang's left front, right front, left rear, and right rear... The four newly emerged trees were as tall as the main body,
Eight massive demon trees stood like heaven-piercing pillars, making Wang Xiaoqiang, trapped among them, feel a suffocating pressure.
"Ancestral Tree Elder Demon, I must say, your fertility is quite impressive. Unfortunately, judging by your voice, you're a male. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind making you a concubine to give me a bunch of tree babies..."
Trees can grow new trees from their roots; this is a natural principle. But to grow trees so quickly, probably only this Ten-Thousand-Year Tree Demon can achieve that. In fact, even for what could not grow trees in such a short time, the Ancestral Tree Elder Demon developed this ability because it cultivated the 'Great Demon Life Technique'.
This is the Ancestral Tree Elder Demon's proudest spell technique, but it was belittled by Wang Xiaoqiang as mere fertility, even likened to being a woman, which made it so angry that its tree body trembled and tens of thousands of leaves shuddered fiercely, stirring up a strong wind.
"Damn brat, I'm going to tear you limb from limb..." the Ancestral Tree Elder Demon roared in fury.
Wang Xiaoqiang had heard of the 'Dismemberment by Five Horses', but never of 'Ten Thousand Tendon Shred'; it seemed that the Ancestral Tree Elder Demon was going to spray tree tendons to entangle him again, and so he immediately darted away, trying to avoid it.
Sure enough, as soon as it finished roaring, the eight heaven-piercing giant trees shook violently, and eight city-gate-sized tree holes opened from the tree trunks, from which countless tree tendons sprayed out.
The tree tendons, though thick, appeared as thousands of threads when seen from afar. There must be millions, they rushed towards Wang Xiaoqiang with a roar.
Wang Xiaoqiang waved the Penglai Immortal Sword, the Sword Spirit howled, transforming into ten thousand sword lights, slashing toward the tree tendons coming from all directions...
However, just as the tendons neared Wang Xiaoqiang, they all burst open. Each thick tree tendon, upon exploding, revealed green skeleton-like heads, which opened wide mouths and spewed out large amounts of white tree silk. The silk, like threads of silk, seemed to rain down from the sky, hundreds of billions of them, rushing towards Wang Xiaoqiang.
Wang Xiaoqiang swung the Immortal Sword, covering his body in countless sword lights. However, his swordsmanship was ultimately limited, not reaching the level of being "watertight" or "impenetrable."
Though the sword lights were dense, there were gaps, and soon tree silk slipped through the gaps in the sword lights, coiling around Wang Xiaoqiang. The tree silk, though fine, was extraordinarily strong, and Wang Xiaoqiang's right hand quickly became entangled, immobilized.
Wang Xiaoqiang was astonished; with his Flesh Body Stage, he couldn't break these delicate tree silks?
He didn't realize that the reason these tree silks could bind him, an Undying Golden Body expert, was that they employed the method of soft overcoming hard. If it were those tree tendons, no matter how many, they wouldn't be able to bind him.
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish...
The tree silks came from all directions, filling the sky and earth with their silver-white lines, resembling a rain of silk, winding around Wang Xiaoqiang.
Soon, Wang Xiaoqiang's left hand was bound, then his legs, and finally, his entire body was wrapped in layer after layer of tree silk until Wang Xiaoqiang was enveloped like an insect within a cocoon.
Moreover, from the eight tree holes, endless streams of tree silk continued spraying toward Wang Xiaoqiang, in just a moment wrapping him in a cocoon as large as a house, from the outside, Wang Xiaoqiang was completely hidden.
Inside those tree silks, Wang Xiaoqiang found his entire body immobilized and even breathing was a struggle. His willpower flared, and the Light of Joy shot out, bursting like a blade, causing crackling sounds as the tree silks snapped...
"Little guy, I've seen your Light of Joy before. It's indeed powerful when it bursts out, but that's only against the Purple Blood Poison Flower. For me, it's just a trivial trick..." the Ancestral Tree said dismissively, and immediately the speed of silk spraying from the tree holes suddenly quickened. Hundreds of billions of tree silks rolled in from the heavens and earth, wrapping around him.
Wang Xiaoqiang's Light of Joy didn't inflict much damage on the tree silks, couldn't set them aflame, and its speed in cutting the tree silks couldn't keep up with the speed of the silk spraying from the holes. Thus, the bundle of tree silk enclosing Wang Xiaoqiang, instead of bursting, grew even larger, now resembling a small hill.
"Bind him, bind him, bind him... I will bind you to death..." the Ancestral Tree laughed with pride and mania. (To be continued.
