Chapter 247: Back Yin Domain (1/2)
After being hit by the Ghost Lantern Cold Flame, the Nine Nether Wood that was struggling crazily stirred up the entire water body.
Jiang Li was completely unable to stabilize his figure, and he was swept away by the water flow.
If he wanted to throw out the Dragon Imprisoning Lock again, with the guidance of the Immortal Slaying Flying Sword, it would be barely accurate.
However, under the intense impact of the water current, his speed would still be severely affected.
In next to no time, the demonic statue had already struggled free from the tree. Because its speed was too swift, it did not hesitate to tear off a large portion of the tree bark.
The main body of the Nine Nether Wood, the other half of the statue, glanced at Jiang Li, and then it swayed its roots like a squid and pushed its enormous body down.
Although the other party was huge, its speed was not slow at all.
Jiang Li erupted with a large amount of spiritual qi, pushing away the surrounding river water. It was not easy for him to use this method in the churning river water to barely stabilize his body.
He was just about to rush forward again and add fuel to the fire.
However, more than ten puppets rushed up and wrapped around him tightly.
Nine Ghost Lantern Cold Flames appeared behind them and circled around their bodies, igniting all these puppets. It would not be long before they burned all the souls in their bodies.
However, there were too many puppets. They were not afraid of death at all and charged forward continuously. Group after group pounced forward, surrounding Jiang Li until he could not move at all.
After spending a lot of time, he struggled to break free from the restraints with the help of the flames and casually threw the corpses into the coffin.
Jiang Li raised his eyes to look again, and more than half of the Nine Nether Wood had already entered the riverbed.
Once it entered the unknown passageway, it would be difficult to find it again.
”Jiang Li, what are you doing! Do you have a death wish?!”
At this moment, the pig riding ancestor of the Scripture Storage Valley pierced through the water layer and a large number of tree roots to arrive by Jiang Li's side, and he quickly pulled Jiang Li away.
Looking at his ragged clothes, he knew that he had paid a huge price to reach this place.
”Martial Ancestor, wait! That thing is running away! I have a way to deal with it! Don't let it escape!”
Jiang Li hurriedly stopped him and pulled his ancestor to look at the turbid water.
”What nonsense are you talking about? How can you have a solution… Wait, this guy really wants to run!”
”When did you have such an ability?”
From the understanding of ordinary people, this was a monster that could not be suppressed even with several Soul Formation cultivators. Jiang Li was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, even if his strength was comparable to a Golden Core cultivator, so what?
However, with just a glance, he also noticed the abnormality of the Nine Nether Wood. While the tree that reversed the statue surprised him, the huge tree that was fleeing in panic and the demonic statue that had fallen from the tree and was already mostly covered in black flames shocked him.
What was the black flame that burned the Nine Nether Wood in pain? Looking at the black color, he could feel a slight pain from his soul.
The damage that the flames dealt to the Nine Nether Wood clearly far exceeded the total damage they dealt earlier.
Previously, no matter how talented Jiang Li was, he was far inferior to them. Therefore, this group of top cultivators did not have the mood to ask.
However, today, Jiang Li had done something that even they, a group of Soul Formation cultivators, could not do with his Foundation Establishment cultivation. Even a normal person would want to know the reason behind this.
”That flame… Forget it, now is not the time! Let's stop it!”
Now was not the time indeed.
If he could give the strange tree another blow, they might really burn it to death.
On the river, a few top cultivators suddenly felt the pressure in their hands decrease greatly, and they also discovered the abnormality of the tree demon.
The Nine Nether Wood, which had been growing and expanding with a strong desire to attack, suddenly started to contract at this moment and sank into the water.
There was clearly no sign of weakness before, so why did it suddenly contract? Could it be that there was a plot?
”What's with this monster?”
”Should we stop it?”
The top cultivators looked at each other.
This tree demon clearly had quite a bit of intelligence. They had all suffered quite a bit earlier. Now, they did not dare to take the initiative to get too close. It was likely that the tree demon wanted to lure them into a trap.
”Stop it, don't let it escape!”
”Jiang Li has a way to deal with it!”
Martial Ancestor Zhu turned around and rushed out of the water. He took a risk and grabbed one of the main roots of the Nine Nether Wood, pulling it upwards.
At this moment, the Nine Nether Wood was in a hurry to escape. It suddenly discovered that something was holding it back. Immediately, more than ten tree roots wrapped around it, as if they were going to crush this rather powerful ant into pieces.
However, the nine Ghost Lantern Cold Flames appeared again. With just a light touch, they were all ignited.
The dozen or so tree roots that had been ignited twisted and jumped crazily like live fish on the shore.
Soon, it fell off the main trunk and was flung far away.
”Is that true? What shocking black flames!”
”Attack! Don't let this tree demon escape!”
When the top cultivators of the other three sects saw Jiang Li's miraculous methods, their confidence immediately increased greatly. They did not think too much and followed Ancestor Zhu to pull up the tree root.
The Nine Nether Wood still wanted to attack, but the moment Jiang Li's cold flames attacked, it lost its mood to retaliate.
Being pulled by so many top-notch cultivators, the sinking speed suddenly slowed. The roots were burned one after another, and soon, they became sparse from their original density.
Eh? This was the Mu family's flying ship?
As the tree roots continued to fall, Jiang Li discovered a tattered peachwood flying ship in a corner.
On a closer look, there was actually a thin membrane maintaining the interior of the ship. The Mu family cultivators inside were actually not dead yet.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Li grabbed the flying ship and pulled it back fiercely.
How powerful was Jiang Li? It was not difficult for him to push a flying ship that had lost its momentum.
Their current location was already underwater. Although the peachwood flying ship was already tattered and could no longer be used, under the effect of the buoyancy, it still floated to the surface.
Ignoring them for the time being, Jiang Li finally approached the huge Nine Nether Wood with the help of the top cultivators.
He used the same method of burning the ghost soldiers on the Dragon Imprisoning Lock. He threw the flying sword chain at the other statue of the Nine Nether Wood.
