C38 (1/2)
The formless pressure gradually receded, and the huge ancient tree and vine prison stood empty in the wind and dust. The brawny man with the fierce-looking face sneered, and a burst of profound energy aura floated in the air.
”Swish.” A wave of majestic life force rippled in the air, and the huge ancient tree prison suddenly disappeared without a trace.
”Hehe, how boring, truly boring! I thought that kid would have some ability, but I didn't think that he wouldn't even leave behind a treasure! ” Two extremely cold and shining axes quietly appeared in the hands of the burly man. The burly man's face was full of pride as he looked at the puddles of blood on the ground. He raised his right hand and touched the ring on his left middle finger.
With a martial soul fused within it, it could imprison all living creatures. It corroded and melted the bodies of cultivators of the same realm and below. As for the treasures and scrolls on a martial artist's body, they were dead objects, and the prison wouldn't cause them any real harm! This was also the reason why the burly man complained about Wu Hen after finding nothing in the blood.
The fierce-looking burly man gently turned the two axes in his hands to the back. He seemed to be in a great mood. While stroking the small ring on his left middle finger, he swaggered towards the depths of the forest.
”Willow Style Nine Swords, Flowing Light dancing!” A majestic sword Qi suddenly burst out from the foot of the burly man.
Countless sword lights rose as a terrifying profound energy aura crazily swirled from the bottom to the top. A stifling killing intent filled the air, causing the color of the entire forest to change.
The fierce-looking burly man was stunned. His feet seemed to have been plastered with lead as they were firmly held in place by Xiao Sha's Sword Qi. With a thought, a pair of shining axes appeared behind the burly man's back. Two cold lights flashed, and the two axes cut off the sword beams at the big man's feet.
”Who is it? Get the hell out here!” The burly man leaped to the side, dodging the attack. His clothes were all cut open by the sword light. Streams of blood were dripping down from the wound, flowing out from the burly man's body.
Suddenly …
A gust of cold wind blew recklessly, not a single sound could be heard in the empty forest. The burly man used all of his strength to probe with his soul consciousness, but he still couldn't find anything wrong. However, the faint pain from his body and the gradually dissipating sword qi were constantly reminding the burly man that there was indeed an expert in the shadows who was not weaker than him.
”Prison Technique!” Cold light flashed through the man's eyes, and the two axes in his hands once again turned into an invisible pressure. Soon after, there was a four-sided prison that was woven by an ancient tree's vine, trapping the burly man inside.
”Hmph, no matter who you are, come at me if you have the ability!” The corner of the burly man's mouth twitched as he sat down cross-legged in the prison.
A burst of profound energy aura rose, and the robust man in the prison acted as if there was no one around as he automatically circulated the profound energy in his body, beginning to recover from his injuries.
”Hiss hiss.” A faint sound suddenly came from the bottom of the sturdy prison. The sturdy man sitting cross-legged in the cage slightly frowned, then continued cultivating as if nothing had happened.
”Willow Style Nine Swords, Lifesteal Kill Flying Ye Wandering.”
Suddenly, an angry roar resounded through the forest. A terrifying sword qi burst out from the bottom of the burly man's body. Sword light filled the sky and exploded in the prison. A soft sword was as soft as flying leaves without any strength. It looked slow but was also incomparably fast. In the blink of an eye, he had already entered the dantian of the burly man.
”You …” The muscular man, who was sitting in the lotus position, spat out a mouthful of blood, and red blood spurted out from his dantian area on his chest. The originally exuberant life force was rapidly depleted, and the impenetrable ancient tree trunk also began to flicker and darken.
The burly man widened his eyes as he struggled to raise his right hand and point forward. With a look of disbelief on his face, his body spasmed before falling to the ground.
A dull thud, followed by a cloud of dust. The terrifying pressure around them gradually dissipated in the air, and the flickering ancient tree vine prison vanished into thin air.
”Hmph. Killing you would simply be dirtying my sword!” A young, handsome, azure figure gently waved the flexible sword in his hand. A spot of cold light flashed in the air as a jade belt once again wrapped around the young man's waist.
”Hehe, quick, let's see what treasures this guy has on him!” A strange red light turned into a fiery red shadow and silently appeared beside the young man.
