5 The Slaughter II (1/2)

As Situ Nian charged toward the little Devil with his spiritual sword while chopping off countless tree roots along the way,

Rumble!” Suddenly, the earth trembled and countless more dark tree roots erupted from beneath his feet. Each of them was at least ten feet tall and shaped like bamboo spears.

As he could feel the ground shaking beneath his feet, Situ Nian was able to predict their movement and dodged every single one them as he bravely charged forward.

In the meantime,

Ah…”

Horrifying screech resonated throughout the mountain as one warrior after another died horrifically under the assault of the tree roots.

It was one thing if it was only one or two tree roots, but there were dozens of them that erupted from beneath the ground like octopus tentacles.

Furthermore, like a virus, they kept on multiply and replicated themselves as they killed and absorbed the blood of the warriors.

Additionally, the dark tree roots were able to follow the movement of the warriors as though they were alive or have eyes. They were as fast as lightning and nimble as snakes.

Each of their movements was well-coordinated when one wasn't enough to finish up a warrior, the others would come as back up. Not only they were able to multiply by absorbing the blood of the warriors, but they were also able to strengthen themselves as their thickness and height increased after the blood absorption.

As the dark tree roots grew stronger, the evil aura emitted from their body grew stronger as well to point that it became visible. Each one of them were surrounded by a thin layer of black smoke like plasma. Not only the thin layer of the black smoke contained a corrosive power, it had the ability to paralyze the opponent which made it almost impossible to move after being stabbed by the tree roots.

” Mother, he's not a human. He's literally a devil......”

” What kind of devilish ability is that...”

Silver Fang and Mo Fan, along with the other warriors fighting for their lives were shivering as they watched the demonic tree roots pierced through their comrades like arrows and absorbed their blood.

It was their first time seeing such a demonic technique. They have no idea how that little devil was able to summon and control all those tree roots.

Seeing how the people around him were being kill one by one without the strength to fight back, Silver Fang's face became pale as he turned tail to run.

He had ready planned on escaping from the moment he found out that the little devil had already broken through the Martial Sovereign. However, he was delayed. If it wasn't for the fact that he was attacked by those damn demonic tree roots as well, he would have been long gone by now.

He knew that little devil hasn't even show his true strength yet. Hell....., that bastard hasn't even moved from his position. He was still in meditation with both of his eyes closed as though the ongoing slaughters had nothing to do with him.

For his planned to be successful, Silver Fang didn't tell any of them that the little devil was a top-class expert in the Martial Sovereign. Otherwise, they would have run with their tails between their legs already. Good thing that little devil has already redrawn his spiritual pressure before those bastards came.

Without any delay, Silver Fang quickly took a scroll out of his spatial ring and opened it. As soon as he opened it, he was surrounded by a white light and disasaperd.

Seeing how his companion escaped, Mo Fan immediately followed suit as he took his own scroll and disappeared as well.

When the other warriors saw how the two Martial Emperors expert had ran away, they've entered a state of pain and despair. Even the two Martial Emperors had lost their will to fight against those damn demonic tree roots, what about them.

At this moment they didn't care about the mission anymore and ran with their tails between their legs as well. There were over a hundred of them, but now, not even half of them remained, and they were still being killed by those demonic tree roots.

However, how could they easily escape the mountain with the legion of tree roots that surrounded the whole mountain top like an inescapable net with them in the middle.

They didn't have any rare teleportation scrolls like Silver Fang and Mo Fan, as such, they could only wait to become tree roots' nutrients.

Ahhh!”

Miserable cries continue to split the air as dozens of tree roots erupted simultaneously from beneath them. Each of them were like a bamboo poll over three meters high.

One sharp, gleaming dark tree roots after another pierced into the legs and chests of the warriors, filling the air with their painful screams as their blood were being suck dry as well.

After awhile, the wails and the painful screams of the warriors completely died down as they were all pierced and killed by the dense array of tree roots.

All that was left was the heavy breathing of Situ Nian as he continued to slash and dodge the attacks of the demonic tree roots.

As the strongest expert within the group and also a peak Martial Emperor, Situ Nian had an abundance battle experience. Even though, he hasn't open his upper dantian yet. He was still able to feel and keep up with the continuous attack of the tree roots that kept on erupting beneath the ground like endless streams and ambushed him.

However no matter how many tree tree roots he was able cut and crush, he was still unable to get close to the little devil. With every tree root he cut, five more erupted from the ground like an endless octopus's tentacle until he was completely surrounded by an army of large tree roots the height of an adult tree.

He was unable the see the front nor the back. The large amounts of tree roots formed a circle around him. They didn't attack him, instead they were tightening the circle around him as though they were trying to crush him from within.

Nonetheless, Situ Nian was still marching bravely ahead as he continued to slash his way ahead. He was a determine and fearless elite disciple of the Supreme Sword Dao Sect, one of the chosen one. He had always used his sharp sword to cut through any obstacle, and today won't be any different.
