Chapter 81 Pulling out the roots of the locust tree
The locust tree demon allowed its branches to be severed by the demon-slaying sword, yet it still used new branches to try and stop the attack.
Although Yang Jian cut off many of its branches, and it felt excruciating pain each time it was cut, it ultimately managed to block the Demon-Slaying Sword in Yang Jian's hand, trapping Yang Jian and the Demon-Slaying Sword within the branches.
Yang Jian was enveloped by the branches of the locust tree, feeling a sense of compression. His Demon-Slaying Sword was also bound, making it difficult for him to exert any force.
He didn't have time to draw his silver spear.
This locust tree demon is indeed not simple; it won't be so easy to defeat.
Yang Jian wanted to shatter the giant locust tree branch in one blow and finish the battle quickly, but this gave the locust tree demon the opportunity to trap him.
"We were still a bit careless!"
Yang Jian shook his head slightly, showing no sign of panic.
He took out an exorcism talisman and decisively used blood to activate it.
In an instant, a golden light appeared around him, blocking the locust tree branches that were wrapping around him.
The exorcism talismans made by the Taoist sect did not disappoint him.
When he got back, he planned to ask his adoptive father about the origin of these exorcism talismans.
Exorcism talismans are useless against humans, but they are highly effective against strange and evil spirits.
"Heavenly Serpent Breathing Technique, add points."
After quickly swallowing a Three Spirits Blood Spirit Pill, Yang Jian silently recited the mantra.
Within his sea of consciousness, the two white attribute points he had just obtained from slaying the parasitic demon soul vanished instantly.
At the same time, Yang Jian's aura intensified once again, and his breathing became increasingly long.
Yang Jian could feel his internal power rapidly increasing and his strength growing stronger, a feeling that was excellent.
In the blink of an eye, the "Heavenly Serpent Breathing Technique" was elevated from the Great Completion level to the Perfection level.
Before long, Yang Jian's internal organs were also tempered to the upper limit of the "Heavenly Serpent Breathing Technique".
The Heavenly Serpent Breathing Technique prioritizes the five internal organs, and Yang Jian felt that the tempering level of his internal organs was even higher.
He could also feel his heart beating faster!
The heart is the source of life's power. The higher its level of refinement, the stronger its power, and the greater the combat effectiveness a person can exert.
"Cut it off!"
Taking advantage of the fact that the exorcism talisman was still effective, Yang Jian drew his demon-slaying sword and silver spear.
He holds a sword in his left hand and a gun in his right.
With a slight movement of their bodies, both exerted their strength simultaneously.
In the blink of an eye, the branches of the locust trees surrounding Yang Jian were all cut down.
These branches, as hard as steel, could not stop Yang Jian at all.
Having achieved his goal with a single blow, Yang Jian did not retreat or flee.
The demon-slaying sword in his hand pierced through the thick bark of the locust tree, penetrating its defenses and embedding itself within.
"Just as I thought."
"Your defenses are not invincible."
Yang Jian smiled upon seeing the result.
Against tree spirits, the Demon-Slaying Sword is more effective.
They're all on the same level; there's no such thing as an invincible being.
If we're talking about invincibility, it should be that he's invincible among those of the same level.
The moment the Demon-Slaying Sword pierced the locust tree demon, the large locust tree trembled violently, but it couldn't move at all.
This is not the effect of the Demon-Slaying Sword, but rather the result of the Locust Tree Demon using its Giant Tree form.
Once the body was immobilized, the locust tree demon's true form could hardly move, and it could not control the vines on the locust tree. The only thing it could move was the branches on its body, which was the method it had just used to trap Yang Jian.
Even when a demon unleashes its talent, it is not invincible; there are still many limitations.
The stronger one's talent, the more limitations there are; otherwise, one would have already advanced to a higher level!
However, if one can bring out the advantages of their talent and make no one notice their flaws, the combat power they can unleash is naturally immeasurable.
The powerful defensive capabilities of the locust tree demon are also like this.
Unfortunately, that defensive capability is not invincible.
"Point the star!"
Yang Jian saw that the Demon-Slaying Sword broke through the bark defense of the locust tree, but failed to cut down the large locust tree.
Therefore, the silver spear in his hand moved again.
A powerful spear aura surged forth, combined with the immense power he had gained from breaking through the Heavenly Serpent Breath Technique, all of which flowed into the silver spear in his hand.
He unleashed the most powerful killing move in "Star Point Gun" without reservation, combined with the spear techniques he had mastered.
"Crunch!"
In the blink of an eye, a flash of silver light appeared, and the towering tree instantly snapped in two.
The broken, tall trunk fell with a tremendous sound.
Upon seeing this, Jin Rong and the others immediately stepped back to avoid being hit by the large locust tree.
"That's impossible!"
"With your cultivation level, how could you possibly break through the giant tree's body?"
"That's absolutely impossible."
Inside the large locust tree, the locust tree demon looked on incredulously.
It never imagined that its demonic body would be severed by Yang Jian in this way.
When it first surrounded Yang Jian with branches, it could see the scene of Yang Jian being strangled to death by the branches.
Yang Jian's delicious flesh and blood will all become its nourishment.
In the blink of an eye, the situation was completely reversed!
As the demon's body broke apart, the aura emanating from the locust tree demon grew weaker and weaker.
The power of the locust tree demon comes from its demonic body. Its previous escape was also due to the power fed back from its demonic body. Now that its demonic body is destroyed, its power is rapidly dissipating.
The demon soul could no longer separate from its body, only because its roots had not yet been pulled out; otherwise, it would have died completely.
Furthermore, even if the demon soul can break free, it's useless; if the physical body perishes, it will also die.
Jin Rong and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Yang Jian was safe and sound.
As long as Yang Jian is alright, that's all that matters.
At the same time, I admire Yang Jian's strength.
They couldn't cut through the bark of the big locust tree for a long time, but Yang Jian was able to cut it in half so easily.
No wonder Yang Jian dared to charge recklessly; he was indeed full of confidence.
"Get up!"
After breaking the large locust tree, Yang Jian walked to the base of the tree.
Turn your back and try to uproot the locust tree.
According to the "Tales of Strange Things," the monsters associated with these trees need to be completely uprooted to kill them completely, which is also the fastest way to eliminate them.
The fact that the two orbs of light did not fall after he broke the large locust tree also confirms this claim.
"drink!"
A tremendous force erupted from Yang Jian's body, causing the ground to tremble incessantly.
He managed to pull out the roots of the big locust tree bit by bit.
This scene left Jin Rong and the others completely dumbfounded!
Just as Lu Zhishen uprooted a willow tree in ancient times, Yang Jian uprooted a locust tree.
However, the two are not comparable.
The willow tree that Lu Zhishen uprooted was not as big as this locust tree.
The story they had only read about in biographies was now unfolding before their eyes, an enhanced version at that, leaving Jin Rong and the others wide-eyed and speechless as they stared at Yang Jian.
The locust tree roots were pulled out little by little, but when what was under the locust tree roots was revealed, everyone who saw it fell silent!
Beneath the roots of the large tree lay a pile of white bones.
Those who went missing in the locust grove did indeed die at the hands of this large locust tree.
After killing people, the locust tree demon left their corpses at its roots as nourishment.
And these are only some of the cases.
Those ancient remains have long since turned to ashes and been absorbed by this locust tree. What remains now are the bones that have not yet turned to ashes.
That locust tree demon deserves to die.
