Chapter 271: There Is Something Strange and I Am Helpless (the Third Update)

No matter what, no matter whether the old tree demon had good intentions or bad intentions, Shi Xuan could not eat the three yellow fruits on the spot, nor could he use magic to check whether they were good or bad in front of the old tree demon. So Shi Xuan took the fruit and said, "Thank you for your generosity, old man. But I have some fellow Taoists and juniors who are very eager to prolong their lives, so I want to leave it to them. I would like to thank you on their behalf." Although the real ten thousand year tree demon fruit can prolong one's life for sixty years, Shi Xuan would not eat it rashly. Most tree demons can absorb the blood, flesh and true qi of cultivators through the roots.

Before the old tree demon said anything, Shi Xuan felt his shoulders sink, and a fluffy claw suddenly appeared and grabbed the yellow fruit. Shi Xuan's heart moved, but he did not stop it. He watched the monkey pick up a fruit and took a bite.

After the monkey took a bite, it spat the fruit flesh to the side with a "Puh" sound. Its face wrinkled into a ball, showing a disgusted and disgusted expression, and it threw the remaining half of the fruit to the side.

As soon as the fruit flesh touched the ground, it turned into a pool of dirty blood, which was dark in color and emitting white smoke.

The old tree demon watched the monkey spit out the fruit as if nothing had happened, and almost popped his eyes out. Then he reacted, and the green light in his hand flashed, ready to attack.

But Shi Xuan had already taken the lead. The green lightning circled, and the old tree demon was broken into two pieces. He fell to the ground and turned into a broken thick branch.

At this time, in the surrounding woods, endless branches stretched out, grabbing and chopping Shi Xuan, and even many branches were still flashing green light, and many thick vines grew out from the ground, wrapping around Shi Xuan's feet. In the jungle, this ten thousand year old tree demon can exert nearly twice the strength.

So Shi Xuan directly controlled the Thunderbolt Demon Sword, and the green sword light shot up into the sky, getting rid of those branches and vines, standing in the air, and then pointed his hand, and the Thunderbolt Demon Sword cut through the air, making a thunderous sound and slashing at the tree demon's body - a tree that dozens of people could hug.

The sword light flashed, and a thick branch fell from the tree, but the tree demon had accumulated demon power for tens of thousands of years. When a branch fell, another one grew. It was not affected at all. Even if the thick tree was hit by a sword, it could recover in the blink of an eye. It seems that although it has not yet condensed into a demon pill, it is also outstanding in the spirit soul stage.

The huge green wood and white flowers it transformed into kept attacking Shi Xuan, and at the same time, those thick vines also flew out of the woods and entangled Shi Xuan.

Shi Xuan used the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover, and nine fire dragons circled around him, spewing red flames, and burned the green wood, white flowers, and vines into ashes. Although this tree demon was powerful, compared to a cultivator, it had neither Taoism nor many magic tools and spiritual tools, and its abilities were all based on instinct.

However, the tree demon still had a life-long magic tool, which was a tree root that he had painstakingly tempered with his demon power in the past ten thousand years according to his instinct. At this time, it transformed into countless green wood shadows and hit Shi Xuan.

Shi Xuan urged the Yin and Yang Qi bottle, and released the black and white Qi. The countless green wood shrank into a green wood crutch and was thrown into the bottle. At the same time, the black and white Qi continued to move downwards, covering the tree demon's body, and was about to pull it into the bottle, but it was deeply rooted, and it was actually unable to defeat the black and white Qi in a short period of time.

Shi Xuan didn't use his full strength before because he was afraid of triggering a big fluctuation and attracting those demons. But if he dragged on, the demons might come too, so Shi Xuan made a quick decision and unleashed the Heavenly Thunder Demon Subduing Sword. A thick thunderbolt came down from the air and hit the tree demon directly. Then, one after another, after nine thunderbolts, the towering tree that was dozens of feet high and dozens of people hugged was reduced to ashes, and the remaining tree roots turned into charcoal.

After the attack, Shi Xuan took back the Yin and Yang Qi Bottle and landed on the remains of the tree demon, with the Heavenly Thunder Demon Subduing Sword hovering around him.

Originally, Shi Xuan wanted to see if he could find the ten thousand year old tree demon root, so that Chu Wan'er would have one less material to look for when she learns the five Taoist arts. However, those tree roots were chopped into charcoal and could not be used. However, a faint fragrance came from the charcoal smell, which was refreshing and made people feel clear-headed. Following the smell, Shi Xuan found a small hole in the half-black charcoal-like tree root, and then took out three yellow tree fruits from it. However, unlike the one given to Shi Xuan, there were no golden spots on them.

Is this the real ten thousand year old tree demon fruit? In other words, the tree fruit that can prolong life for a century? The ten thousand year old tree demon fruit is the product of the tree demon's ten thousand years of flowering and ten thousand years of fruiting. It can not only prolong life, but also is a powerful helper for it to condense the demon pill.

Shi Xuan was not sure, so he prepared to put the three tree fruits away and wait until he returned to the sect to ask the real person to identify them before taking them, but the monkey suddenly jumped in front of Shi Xuan, staring at the tree fruit in Shi Xuan's hand eagerly, and clasped his furry paws in salute.

"Do you want to eat?" Shi Xuan asked.

The monkey kept nodding his head, looking very obedient.

With the idea of ​​luring the monkey, Shi Xuan thought for a while and said, "If I give it to you, you have to follow me, okay?" If the monkey is really the Tongtian Lingbao Yuanling, then things like slave restrictions will not work, but will destroy its own impression. Tongtian Lingbao can only leave a little mark in the Lingban core if the Yuanling is willing.

The monkey continued to nod, wishing to eat the fruit immediately.

Shi Xuan took out a fruit and handed it to the monkey. The monkey swallowed the fruit in a few seconds, and a faint green light seemed to flash across his body.

"Okay, follow me." Shi Xuan said with a smile.

The monkey pulled his eyelids with one hand, stuck out his tongue, made a grimace, and then scurried up another tree and disappeared.

Shi Xuan wanted to shout at this moment: "Spit out what you ate from me!" But it was just a thought. How could he be so easily abducted? The right way was to slowly deepen his affection.

After returning to the lake, Shi Xuan found a hidden place, restrained his breath, and hid his body. Because of the battle just now, he didn't know if the demon would come. But since he hadn't come for so long, he shouldn't come.

…………

A few days later, Shi Xuan searched all around, but still didn't find any possible traces of the old man Jian. He did encounter several waves of demons, but Shi Xuan avoided them.

At this time, Shi Xuan sat cross-legged on the lake opposite the cliff, looking at the sword mark on the stone wall. If the tree demon didn't lie, the old man Jian chopped a sword here for no reason. Why did this happen?

Shi Xuan had felt the sword mark again in the past few days, but he did not find any message left by the old man Jian, nor did he find anything unusual. Shi Xuan even used Taoism to attack the stone wall, but it was useless except for proving that the stone wall was hard and there was just an extra hole.

At this time, without any clues, Shi Xuan thought that since the old man Jian had chopped him with a sword for no reason, he might as well try it himself and simulate the situation of the old man Jian at that time. In the words of his previous life, this is called case reconstruction.

As he thought and did, Shi Xuan pointed his hand, and the Thunder Demon Sword turned into a green sword light and chopped towards the stone wall along the direction of the sword mark.

As soon as the sword light chopped on the stone wall, Shi Xuan felt that the Thunder Demon Sword became lighter and floated upwards, unable to exert force. This swift sword did not leave any trace on the stone wall.

Although no traces were left, Shi Xuan still smiled. There was indeed something strange here. Back then, Elder Jian probably learned about the situation here from other peak ruins or from the information left by the surviving disciples of the Tianjian Sect, so he came here excitedly. But why did he never show up again? Is it very dangerous inside?

Shi Xuan didn't have time to think about these things now. The primary question at this time was how to leave a sword mark on this stone wall. He didn't know what kind of formation restriction the Tianjian Sect left behind that not only prevented others from detecting it, but also made the flying sword out of control, and it couldn't exert its power after hitting the stone wall.

The green sword light circled above Shi Xuan's head for a circle, and then slashed at the stone wall at an incredible speed. Shi Xuan was now exerting his sword energy thunder sound with all his strength, hoping to break through the formation restriction.

The sword light was very fast and had already touched the stone wall, but the faster the sword light was, the greater the rebound force was. When it fell on the stone wall, the green sword light was already at the end of its strength and could not leave any sword marks at all.

After trying several swords, it still didn't work. Shi Xuan's face was solemn. He used his sword energy and thunder sound with all his strength again. At the same time, the Tai Chi diagram turned into a golden bridge on the other side, and fell on the stone wall with an all-encompassing, sacred and majestic momentum.

The breeze stopped blowing, and the leaves stopped falling. Only the green sword light hit the stone wall.

Silently, Shi Xuan only felt the huge rebound force from the Tianlei Fumo Sword. When everything was over, there was still no trace on the stone wall. Shi Xuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It was worthy of being a formation left by an ancient super sect. I don't know which old predecessor laid it.

After thinking for a while, Shi Xuan took a breath and divided the green sword light into two. The empty sword light slashed towards the stone wall. It was light and peaceful along the way, without any abnormality.

Just when the virtual green sword light was about to touch the stone wall, Shi Xuan's mind moved, and it turned from virtual to real. However, as soon as it turned into a physical sword light, the huge rebound force appeared, giving Shi Xuan no chance to cut through the cliff stone wall.

Afterwards, Shi Xuan used the virtual and real sword light differentiation and the Tai Chi diagram together, but still could not break through the formation restriction on the stone wall.

Shi Xuan stopped the sword light and looked at the sword mark on the stone wall. The old man Jian had cultivated the sword energy, which was equivalent to the first-level Taoist magic. With the sword energy thunder sound and the natal flying sword, it was almost as powerful as the second-level Taoist magic. Could it be that only when it really reached this level can it break through the formation restriction, and other tricks are useless?

If his outer elixir was still there, he could use the method given by Guanghan Sect, ignoring the difference in attributes, and he could use the second-level Star Demon Slayer Sword Qi. Even without using the secret method, he could use the Heavenly Thunder Demon Subduing Sword with all his strength through the outer elixir, and with the sword Qi and thunder sound, he would have the power close to the third-level Taoist magic. But now the outer elixir has exploded, and Shi Xuan is a little helpless.

Just looking at the stone wall for a long time, Shi Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up.
