175: Kill the old monster in the locust tree!

The colorful fierce tiger, like a beast escaped from its cage, roared to the sky.

The raging flames spread like a prairie fire!

Wherever they passed, the evil wood retreated.

The branches that failed to retreat were all scorched into charcoal!

Inside Lanting Temple, a shrill scream came from the sky!

Many Cultivators peered inside through the entrance, only to see a giant locust tree, covering the entire Lanting Temple, standing tall within!

Underfoot, countless ghastly white bones lay.

Shen Li stood before Lanting Temple, his damaged white robes rustling in the mountain wind.

Traces of the Ice Soul Technique were faintly revealed.

His resentment was monstrous, not inferior in the slightest to the old demon's malevolence.

Looking at the old locust tree demon that covered the sky, there was not a ripple in his eyes.

The old locust tree demon's resentful gaze swept over, carrying the malevolent Qi of a thousand years of accumulated grievances. If an ordinary Cultivator were touched by this gaze, they would probably have lost their composure and had their Spiritual Qi in disarray long ago.

But... Shen Li was not a Cultivator, but a Heart Demon.

Layers of imps sat on the branches, and as the old locust tree demon wailed shrilly, their Physical Bodies, constantly swaying with the vines, rocked unceasingly like waves.

From time to time, they would let out laughter like silver bells.

“Hehe, hehe, Cultivators are here! Cultivators are here!”

It was they who had previously conjured those illusory scenes.

It was just a pity that this time, they had provoked the wrong person.

“So noisy.” A cold, disdainful voice exploded in the air.

Before the words finished, the colorful fierce tiger derived from the Great Yang Fire Subduing Tiger Formation pounced forward.

Li Huo is supremely Yang and rigid, specializing in countering Yin evil wood spirits. The old locust tree demon was originally a Yin evil creature; as soon as it was burned by this Li Huo, it immediately let out a painful roar.

This was the most basic elemental counter, and Shen Li wouldn't even be ignorant of this.

It was just a pity that his Li Huo method was only this one...

The Li Huo licked the branches and trunk of the locust tree. The tree bark, originally as hard as refined steel, instantly turned charred black, emitting wisps of green smoke.

The imps perched on the branches were scorched by the blazing fire, letting out shrill screams. Their original silver-bell-like laughter turned into wailing. But before they could struggle, they were swallowed by the colorful fierce tiger's flames, turning into wisps of black smoke that dissipated into the air.

Their sustenance was the individual vines; if the vines died, they naturally couldn't live.

The old locust tree demon's giant human face twisted in pain, its resentful gaze fixed on Shen Li: “What a good Li Huo Formation! Do you think this little flame can kill me?”

Thick tree roots surged out from beneath the grotesquely bulging bluestone bricks, and countless vines, like venomous snakes, stabbed towards the net of fire.

These vines were as black as ink and covered with barbs, clearly containing potent venom.

They bypassed the Formation, but then suddenly shot out their heads, hurtling towards Shen Li.

The sky-obscuring grayish-brown vines were terrifying, causing the Cultivators outside the Immortal Sect to retreat in fear upon feeling the ferocious might of this demon.

Their eyes were filled with apprehension.

More of them, however, looked towards Shen Li's back, curious as to which family's fierce individual this was!

A Cultivator at the Qi Refining Stage - 7th Layer was already so formidable?

If he reached the Qi Refining Perfection, what then?

However, Shen Li's figure did not retreat; instead, he advanced.

Lingyin threads formed in his hand, and Frost Walls stood tall within!

Countless vines were broken and destroyed, unable to advance an inch!

Then, Shen Li's fingers moved as if plucking flowers.

Spiritual Qi quietly rose.

The sky above suddenly darkened.

Instantly, the entire Lanting Temple was engulfed in wind and snow.

This place was not the Yellow Sand Plains, there were no numerous restrictions, so changing the surrounding environment was easy!

Amidst the wind, snow, and frost, ice cones descended from the sky like swords.

They fiercely pierced into the Physical Body of the tree demon before him!

A huge human face suddenly appeared on the thick branches of the giant locust tree.

The pain on the human face was unconcealed, and its resentful gaze looked at Shen Li.

Malicious words drifted in the air.

“Ice Law, a minor Dao…”

A smile played on Shen Li's lips, seemingly extremely disdainful.

Breaking through the Frost Wall, the Guileless Sword Qi instantly slashed out!

Several vines took this opportunity to whip Shen Li's Physical Body.

His robes tore, revealing half of his Physical Body!

However, there was no scene of blood and gore, nor any sign of severe poisoning.

Only streaks of white appeared on his azure Physical Body, which seemed to be cast from ten thousand years of cold ice.

And as the Magical Artifact sword fell, it severed countless vines and root Foundations.

“Real Person Magical Artifact, what a deep Foundation, what a deep Foundation... I'd like to see how long you can last?”

“This old man has gathered these countless imps, even if it's by piling them up, I will pile you to death!”

“This old man will devour your Soul piece by piece, only then can I sate the hatred in my heart!”

With that, the old locust tree demon began to swing its vines. This scene was like a chaotic dance of demons.

Layers upon layers of imps clung to the vines. The vines swayed in the air, and with a sudden flick... the imps swarmed forward to grab.

Shrill screams converged into a demonic sound in his ears.

This kind of attack seemed to be intended to interfere with Shen Li.

It was just a pity that Shen Li's expression not only did not become solemn, but a mocking smile appeared on his face.

“Brainless.”

His finger touched his brow, and a crescent moon hovered in his palm.

At the same time, a layer of cold frost began to coat the Guileless Magical Artifact.

[Taiyin Wumeng]

Facing the swarming imps, Shen Li swung his sword.

The moon blade condensed by the Taiyin Wumeng Sword Technique instantly slashed out!

In an instant, the imps were all cut in half.

Behind him, sounds of inexplicable shock continuously echoed!

“This technique is cold and Yin! It specializes in dealing with the Divine Soul! It's actually a minor Taiyin technique! And it's a sword technique!”

“No wonder this person is so confident! Although the Ice Law cannot particularly effectively counter this old demon, just by relying on this minor Taiyin technique, he can continuously kill these imps.”

“The old demon is powerful, its wood Gu has become a locust tree. Its various methods are probably focused on 'wood' and 'Gu'. The wood method is resisted by the Frost Wall, and the Little Wind and Snow Technique causes changes in the timing and geographical conditions.

The Gu method is also countered by the minor Taiyin technique. This matter is settled!”

“How about we…”

Before the words finished, they were quickly rejected by another person.

“Don't act rashly. This person is too murderous…”

“And he has a Real Person Magical Artifact in his hand!!!”

“Understood!”

And in the battlefield, countless small demon Souls were Flying Away and Spirits Scattering.

This, however, enraged the old demon.

“Kill, kill, kill!”

“Too much nonsense.”

After Shen Li finished speaking, the Lingyin threads in his hand began to flicker wildly.

Pale white threads condensed into lifelike ice cicadas.

They arrayed themselves around Shen Li, and with the flick of his finger, they shot forward!

The dense ice cicadas froze all the wildly dancing vines!

This scene was eerie yet extraordinarily beautiful.

However, the number of ice cicadas was limited, and there were still some vines swaying and waving.

But it was useless.

These vines whipping his body only left white marks.

Before long, Shen Li arrived in front of the old locust tree demon.

He slashed with his sword.

The fierce cold light instantly tore through the tree bark, which was like steel!

Foul-smelling, scarlet to grayish-brown blood continuously flowed out, and the screams were utterly horrifying.

“I'll kill you! Bastard! I'll kill you, ah ah ah!”

His fingertips cracked due to the frequent use of techniques, and blood flowed out.

Even his Physical Body, strengthened by the Ice Soul Technique, could not withstand such frequent mobilization of Spiritual Qi and outlining of technique structures!

Shen Li's expression remained unchanged.

He flicked his finger, and crimson blood splattered into the air.

The Lingyin Technique formed again.

Ice cones then pierced into the opening.

“I told you, you talk too much nonsense!”

The ancient human face twisted into a grotesque shape, and the ground below continuously rumbled and trembled, as if an earthquake was occurring.

This old demon seemed to be about to uproot itself.

The next second, Guileless plunged into it, piercing through and back again!

Then, Shen Li, as if digging out a heart or lungs, reached into the opening.

From the muddy, rotten tree trunk, he pulled out a pearl about the size of a goose egg, clearly filled with Yin wood Qi.

[yin wood spirit pearl]

Holding the yin wood spirit pearl, Shen Li, covered in blood, turned around.

At this moment, Lanting Temple was covered in wind and snow, with countless trees toppled. It no longer resembled its previous state.

This earth-shattering change took only a short incense stick's time.

This person... was a bit too terrifying. Whose direct descendant was he, to fight with such ferocity?

Looking at the many Immortal Sect Cultivators who were still out of sorts.

Shen Li revealed a dangerous smile.

“Everyone... do you want it?”

He was a bit short on living Souls... but his spiritual light told him that if others didn't offend him, he wouldn't offend them.

So he had a new idea, which was to entice others to attack him.

If others actively attacked, and he killed them and seized their living Souls, it shouldn't be restricted, right?

And the spiritual light of Shen Li, enveloped by the Taiyin Sword Pill, watched indifferently, not stopping him.

Yes... he was indulging his Heart Demon.

This method, to him, was called.

Fishing!
