Chapter 41: A Tree Grows Alone

"You are confused, you are obviously ruthless yourself, but you have to blame me. Yang Mu shook his head helplessly.

"You're talking nonsense!" the female cultivator questioned Yang Mu directly, "Senior Brother Chutian Aochu, who is the leader of our Aotian Sect's disciples now, how can he attack Senior Brother Li!"

Yang Muben didn't have the luxury of letting these people let him go like this, but he was secretly observing the cultivation of these people while being quick to speak. I heard that the peerless genius in the Aotian Sect has been promoted by the imperial court, and this time the strength of the Aotian Sect to participate in the sect competition is not as good as before, but at present, it seems that this statement may not be true, and the strength of the Aotian Sect is still strong.

That Chu Tianao is not simple, he has already reached the cultivation of the late stage of the Divine Xi Realm, even if he is placed among the other major sects, he can be called a leader. It's a pity that they met Yang Mu.

"Why don't you defend yourself?" Chu Tianao shouted in a deep voice, "Since you killed my Aotian Sect's people, don't think about going back intact today!" That is not only his fellow junior brother, but also the more important combat power in this big competition, after being eliminated by Yang Mu, the overall strength of Aotian Sect will also be damaged.

"How many beacons do you have, if you can make up a number that satisfies me, I can spare your life," Yang Mu ignored Chu Tianao's cruel words, and said with a serious face, "This guy has two beacons on him, and you should have a lot of them." ”

"Looks like you're scared stupid. Chu Tianao sneered, and immediately shot at Yang Mu, he took out a folding fan, and under the surge of true qi, the fan bone erupted, and several short blades shot out.

The Tianquan Sword in Yang Mu's hand connected the dots in the air, and struggled to bounce those short blades away, Chu Tianao's true qi was really strong, those short blades just changed direction, and the qi was still strong, directly submerged into the nearby tree trunks, and disappeared.

"Aotian Sect, the name is magnificent, but it is full of sneak attacks with some hidden weapons. Yang Mu smiled provocatively, a silver light flashed on the surface of the Tianquan Sword, the sword body trembled lightly and made a sword sound, and a fierce sword qi slashed towards Chu Ao Tianli. This is the power of the Heavenly Power Sword, even if you don't use the treasure art, it can also give out a powerful sword aura.

Chu Aotian pulled his right hand, and his true qi waved in the air like wisps of silk, and the trees around Yang Mu were all shattered, and countless debris mixed with earth and stones splashed in the air. It was those short blades that burst out with majestic true qi under Chu Tianao's traction, crushing the trees.

Chu Tianao waved the fan in his hand again, and the surging true qi and sword qi were intertwined, and the energy that burst out during this time overturned the surrounding land. Those short blades were also waiting for the opportunity to move, shooting at Yang Mu from different angles again.

A few drops of cold sweat oozed from Yang Mu's forehead, this Chu Aotian's control of true qi was so subtle, while subtly controlling these short blades, the strength of true qi did not weaken at all, which was beyond the scope of common sense.

After all, the current Aotian Sect is still the second-ranked sect in the Imperial City, and Chu Tianao's ability to occupy a place among the young disciples is enough to show his strength.

However, Yang Mu was not flustered, and his hands carried a unique true qi, which suddenly became extremely white, with a faint white light. This is a unique true qi that has been transformed by the Extreme Abyss Divine Decision, and there is a chill in it that originates from the midnight stars.

"Ding-" Yang Mu pointed like a knife, and directly caught a short blade with his bare hands, crushed it, and made a crisp sound. Next, this sound continued to sound, and Yang Mu cut all the short blades in half one after another, and the fragments were scattered on the ground.

"Die!" In the chaos, Chu Tianao suddenly approached Yang Mu's side, the majestic true qi condensed in his calves, and his trouser legs shattered and exploded like paper, scattering and igniting flames in the air.

Almost at the same time that Chu Tianao's legs swept over, a layer of cold white light appeared on Yang Mu's hands, and he was actually shaking it with his bare hands! A strong true qi erupted between the two, escaping in all directions, and several other cultivators of the Aotian Sect were almost unable to maintain their figures.

Just as the battle between the two was inextricable, the wind suddenly rose in the jungle, like a terrible ghost crying. The surrounding land began to tremble violently,

"Let's go, there's something weird here!" one of the disciples of the Aotian Sect shouted in a lost voice. Everyone was a little flustered, there seemed to be some kind of change in this jungle, all the trees were moving, and it seemed to be converging here.

"Senior Brother Chu, take care!" the female monk of the Aotian Sect shouted before leaving, and all of them retreated first.

"Your fellow disciples are gone, are you sure you don't want to follow?" Yang Mu asked coldly, he had already seen through the strangeness of this jungle, this was a single forest, and the whole forest was born from the same root, it was a huge and incomparably fierce tree. There are countless legends about this tree, and it is also the descendant of a terrible evil.

"Even if there is a change here, I will definitely sacrifice you today to avenge Senior Brother Li!" Chu Tianao didn't seem to realize the danger he was in, and the folding fan in his hand waved again, and a few sharp edges were once again revealed on the fan bones, which were used as daggers to attack Yang Mu.

"Smack-" The sound of the dagger piercing into the trunk of the tree sounded dullly, and a tree actually moved over and stopped in front of Chu Tianao.

Yang Mu frowned, this is the body of the fierce tree located underground began to move its body, as it gradually recovered, this jungle would gather together, and the creatures resting in it, including Yang Mu and Chu Tianao, would be crushed into nourishment.

"This ...... What is this?!" Chu Tianao had also sensed the abnormality, the boundless ancient trees were extremely tough, and they all gathered here, like a huge claw gradually closing. He lifted a long sword, and no longer had the heart to continue fighting with Yang Mu, frantically cutting down the trees that kept gathering.

Yang Mu glanced at this guy coldly, this jungle is very vast, and he only now remembered that it was too late to break through. Leaping forward, Yang Mu tried to escape from the air, however, a dark green vine whipped and directly pulled him out of the air.

There was some kind of prohibition on the vine, so that he could not use his True Qi to compete with it. Beneath their feet, the fierce tree hidden underground, walked deeply, and the entire jungle was a part of its real growth, not an illusion.

Yang Mu's Ice Array Dragon Formation ran a powerful killing array, crushing the vines, but more vines appeared, and the trees under his feet also grew wildly, and the branches and leaves wrapped around his ankles. Yang Mu kept removing the obstacles around him, but these things seemed to be endless, constantly trying to leave him behind.

At this time, the entire jungle had almost completely converged, like a big dark green hand, glowing with a dark black luster, binding Yang Mu in mid-air. Under his feet, Chu Tianao's figure had long been invisible, and he must have been crushed into powder by those gathered branches.

Yang Mu calmed his breath, chanted the Nine Holy Formulas in his mouth, and began to mobilize the power of the Origin Heavenly Evil Fire in his body. As an ancient fire bred by the power of an entire secret realm, the Primordial Heavenly Evil Fire has infinite possibilities.

The inky black ancient fire burned on the surface of Yang Mu's body, and the tree trunks around him turned to ashes like melting snow, making a sizzling sound.

A strong fluctuation of divine thoughts revived under Yang Mu's feet, and this fierce tree sensed the power of the ancient fire, and completely recovered! It seemed to be a little unwilling, and the endless branches waved, wanting to fight with the original heavenly evil fire on Yang Mu's body.

"Look for death!" Yang Muben was already preparing to evacuate, but saw that this fierce tree was fighting with him again, and wanted to leave him behind.

"Hum-" There was a soft roar from among the bushes, and a huge branch rose from the ground, like a magic spear stabbing straight at Yang Mu. Yang Mu ran the Nine Holy Techniques and resisted the branch, and the original heavenly evil fire burned it into a scorched black, and at the same time, Yang Mu himself was also scorched out.

This branch is not simple, and there is a powerful cultivation hidden in it, as well as a terrifying aura. If it weren't for being restrained by the Origin Heavenly Evil Fire, I'm afraid that Yang Mu wouldn't be able to break it with all his might.

Just when Yang Mu was still floating in mid-air, the soft sound sounded one after another from the bushes. One branch after another swept through the air, constantly attacking Yang Mu's lifeline.

"Roar-" Yang Mu roared in the air, his whole body was shrouded in divine light, and behind him, a phantom image was condensed, it was the divine power of the Nine Holy Tricks, which incarnated a powerful spirit body behind him. Yang Mu's spirit body is generally in human form, but there are two horns on his forehead, which is extremely strange.

Yang Mu just thought about it, and a powerful magic seal formed in the hand of the spirit body, and the electric light swept towards those branches like a silver python, and the earth and stones all burst and melted, not to mention those branches, all of which were melted into ashes.

Even so, there were still many branches that approached Yang Mu's approach like magic spears. Yang Mu had the Nine Holy Recipes in his hands, and with the blessing of the Origin Heavenly Evil Fire, he was able to compete with it, and burned them all to ashes.

"Click—click—" The branches didn't work, and the remnants retracted into the bushes. The many branches twisted and coalesced there, as terrifying as a swarm of snakes. The whole jungle kept gathering together, and with the sound of clicking, it was actually condensed into a giant earthy yellow hand!

That giant hand was the size of a small mountain, and it carried supreme coercion, and it was overbearingly slapped down, and the terrifying true qi fluctuations even ignited the surrounding air, in a vain attempt to suppress Yang Mu with one blow!

Yang Mu inhaled slowly, he felt that his true qi began to block, and the coercion of this giant hand was suppressing him, making him unable to exert all his strength. If this continues, by the time this hand is patted down, even the true qi of his body protection will collapse. He had no way out but to try to fight it.

The suppression was lifted, and the Primordial Evil Fire was completely released from his body, and the inky black flame storm swept through the four fields in an instant. On Yang Mu's body surface, those quaint symbols reappeared, this was the power of the original heavenly evil fire, which materialized on his body, forming some kind of totem.

Even so, these ancient flames still seemed very small in front of the mountain-like giant hand.

"Bang-" The dull sound echoed in this desolate land, and the tremor force even reached the sky, and suddenly the sun was clear, and there was not a trace of residual clouds.

The few remaining members of the Aotian Sect who had already fled from this place could not escape, and they were swept away by this terrible wind and waves, like paper boats in the huge waves of the sea, which were overturned a long distance.

"It's horrible, this ...... What kind of power is this?" said one of the juniors and disciples, who were constantly being affected by the battle, and this time the impact was particularly terrifying.

"Senior Brother Chu is still there, will something happen to him?" the female monk was also panicked, and there were still a few tears hanging from the corners of her eyes.

"Look what that is!" one of them pointed to the giant hand, and the crowd fell silent, what a terrible power it was, it was really heart-palpitating. In the face of absolute strength, they could not even find the words to describe the fear in their hearts.
