Text Chapter 371: Heavy Damage to the Red Turban Alliance
"This Jade-armored Wind Chasing Beast is indeed much stronger than ordinary dragon steeds." Miao Yi, who was hiding in the dark and watching the excitement, said with a sigh.
This is the truth, seeing is believing. First of all, its sensitivity is not comparable to that of ordinary dragon steeds. What is even more amazing is that the Jade-armored Wind Chasing Beast can actively defend and attack.
When facing those demon corpses that were chopped in half and could still attack, many of the other people's mounts suffered a great loss, but only the Jade-armored Wind Chasing Beast was fine. It slapped out with one claw and slapped the weapons that came to kill it. Or when passing by the remains of the corpse that was not completely dead, it directly scratched its head with one claw, or when passing by the demon corpse dragon horse, it suddenly turned its head and bit the opponent's hind legs with the sharp fangs in its bloody mouth and flipped it over.
This scene made Miao Yi and others secretly alert. If one day they fight with people who control such spirit beasts in close combat, they must be careful.
Miao Yi wondered if Heitan and the Jade-armored Wind Chasing Beast would win if they faced each other, and estimated that they would suffer losses in nine out of ten cases.
Thinking of Heitan, Miao Yi couldn't help but worry about how Heitan was doing now, but his attention was soon attracted by the new changes on the battlefield.
The Red Turban League was already large in number, and with the three chief disciples of the three major sects holding precious treasures, the situation was about to turn one-sided, and the Red Turban League suddenly panicked again.
Dong Quan's mount suddenly staggered and overturned after rushing under a big tree. Before Dong Quan could react, he found that his ankle was tight, and he saw a branch wrapped around his ankle like a tentacle, directly dragging him away from the overturned mount.
Dong Quan was startled and immediately swung his weapon to cut, but found that his wrist was tight, and then the other wrist was tight, and the waist was tight again. In an instant, all his limbs were entangled by the branches like tentacles. He was directly hung and tied to the tree.
Before he could find a countermeasure, a rough-skinned old hand cracked on the old tree trunk, and it was like a branch, and it directly grabbed a knife from the body.
Dong Quan, who was struggling desperately, was almost scared to death, and cried out in shock: "League leader, save me..."
The voice stopped abruptly. Blood burst out from his neck, and the big tree behind him cut his neck with a knife.
Dong Quan's head, with eyes wide open and full of fear, was thrown out directly. He probably never dreamed that his life of hard practice would end so hastily.
No matter whether he was doing good deeds or doing evil deeds, death is like the extinguishing of a lamp. All the right and wrong, gratitude and resentment about him disappeared as his entangled body was thrown out with hot blood.
The cultivation of the ninth level of Qinglian is already the top level in the Xingxiu Sea Rebellion Suppression Association. The next level is the cultivation of the Red Lotus Realm. Those who will not participate in the Xingxiu Sea Rebellion Suppression Association, but Dong Quan, a master of the ninth level of Qinglian, was caught off guard and killed by a tree demon. The cruelty of the Xingxiu Sea Rebellion Suppression Association can be seen.
While the tree demon was dealing with Dong Quan, he was like the Thousand-armed Avalokitesvara, holding dozens of weapons and attacking the people around him crazily. There were tree roots coming out of the ground to help, dragging the dragon colt's hooves, or directly stabbing it from the ground and killing the dragon colt.
The tree demon had many hands and arms. With long hands and arms and many weapons in his hands, it was almost impossible for people to get close to him in a panic. Even if one of his hands was cut off, he didn't seem to care. It felt like he had just cut off a branch. Another tree root came out of the ground and grabbed the fallen weapon to continue attacking.
Gu Sanzheng turned his head and waved his hand. Three thunderbolts quickly shot out to save Dong Quan, but it was too late.
The tree demon knocked down five or six people in a row. It seemed that he also knew the power of Gu Sanzheng's thunderbolt flying sword, and immediately concentrated more than a dozen big arms to swing, and knocked the three thunderbolt flying swords away with a clang.
However, in a hurry, the defense loophole appeared. Under the situation of the surrounding troops and horses besieging, the tree monster did not dare to fight. The ground suddenly trembled and sank inward, causing the surrounding troops to shake and panic.
I saw such a big tree retract its branches and leaves, and leave as soon as it said it would. Swish! It instantly shrank into the ground and escaped.
Gu Sanzheng's eyes flashed fiercely, and he pointed his hand again, and dozens of thunderbolts rumbled into the sunken ground.
"Ah..." A shrill scream came from the ground, and blood fountains suddenly gushed out of the ground.
However, there was more than just this tree monster here. Countless tree roots emerged from the ground like tentacles, pulling the mounts of the Red Scarf League, or directly stabbing weapons from the ground to kill.
Even the Green Armored Wind Chasing Beast of Gu Sanzheng and the other two was hit and entangled by countless tree roots. Fortunately, the green armor of the Green Armored Wind Chasing Beast was naturally difficult to penetrate by swords and guns, otherwise the result can be imagined.
There were turbulent tree roots underground, and there were big trees on the side that might come alive and kill people at any time, making it difficult for the Red Scarf League to run. The few remaining demon corpses took the opportunity to attack under the indulgence of the tree demon.
Some demon cultivators who were not tree demons also emerged at this time and rushed into the chaotic forest battlefield, which once again dealt a heavy blow to the Red Scarf League.
The entire Red Scarf League fell into extreme fear, and the casualties increased rapidly. They were trapped in this deep forest and couldn't run away. This place suddenly gave people a feeling of purgatory on earth.
"Haha..." The black man on the distant mountain peak laughed wildly, looking up at the sky, so proud. The two charming women standing on the left and right immediately threw themselves into his arms to please him, allowing him to touch them in front of everyone.
Miao Yi and others who were hiding in the dark looked at each other, except for Pi Junzi, who seemed to be used to it.
Miao Yi and his companions understood. No wonder Hei Langjun dared to fight Gu Sanzheng and others when he saw how powerful they were. He must have something to rely on. And it was indeed terrifying that this tree demon hid in the forest and attacked in this way. It was hard to tell which were normal trees and which were tree demons. People trapped in it would be terrified when they saw any big tree. There were so many big trees in this deep forest.
"The Red Scarf Alliance suffered heavy losses this time!" Zhao Fei shook his head and sighed.
This is how the cultivation world is. Sometimes it is not that you will definitely win just because you have more people or higher cultivation. It is not necessarily the case. This is an example.
At this moment, something suddenly swept across the backs of the four people. The four people looked back in shock and saw a tree root rising from the ground pointing at Pi Junzi's nose.
What surprised Miao Yi and the others even more was that a human face with cracked bark appeared on the trunk of a big tree not far behind them. The protruding human face opened its mouth and pointed at Pi Junzi and shouted in a low voice: "Pi Junzi. What are you four doing hiding here? Everyone is rushing up, why don't you go to help!"
The few people let go of their little hearts, thinking that they were discovered, but it turned out that they were asked to go to the battle.
Without waiting for Pi Junzi to answer, Miao Yi shouted, "Stay away. The leader ordered the four of us to hide here. We have our own arrangements. You don't need to ask too many questions." He turned around and waved to the speechless Zhao Fei and the other two, saying, "Let's continue to observe!"
The three of them turned their heads around with him, but Miao Yi turned around and added, "Please keep an eye on us. If someone approaches, warn us in time. If you miss the leader's important event, be careful to hold you accountable."
The tree demon was stunned and asked, "Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"
"We are the leader's backup plan. Don't ask too much about things you shouldn't know. Knowing too much is not good for you." Miao Yi said arrogantly, turned his head, and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
The tree demon was speechless. The cracked old face that appeared on the trunk gradually disappeared, and it returned to its normal appearance as an old tree.
Zhao Fei, Sikong Wuwei, and Pi Junzi looked back at Miao Yi from time to time, and found that Miao Yi's attention was focused on the battlefield. He didn't care about the tree monster behind him at all. They just scolded him and ignored him.
The three people were not as nervous as Miao Yi, who could take it so easily. They were tense and alert at any time.
On the battlefield. Gu Sanzheng's Thunderbolt Flying Sword swirling around his body quickly cut off the tree roots that entangled his mount.
After the Ruyi Whip in Ye Xin's hand became longer, it was like a spirit snake with spikes all over its body, spinning around quickly, which was quite terrifying. Any tree roots that approached her and her mount were immediately crushed and flew around. The riders cooperated with her to rush straight to a tree monster that was attacking from all sides.
The tree monster saw that the situation was not good, and quickly retracted its branches and leaves, and blasted into the ground.
"Want to run?" Ye Xin shouted, and waved the whip that was circling rapidly around her body. Bang! It chased and drilled into the sunken ground. It entangled the tree monster who wanted to escape.
Ye Xin did not compete with the tree demon underground. He just waved his arm and pulled. The sawtooth whip wrapped around the tree demon underground immediately tightened the flying saw.
"Ah..." There was another scream underground, and blood gushed out, directly sawing the tree demon in half underground.
Tan Lao rushed directly on horseback. He killed wherever there was a tree demon. Four sawtooth shields rolled on the ground around the running green armor wind-chasing beast, and any tree roots that emerged from the ground were immediately cut off.
He was not afraid of the tree demon's many hands and weapons. The shields flying around his body could resist the attacks of the tree demon's many arms at the same time. He took the opportunity to shoot out a flying sawtooth shield, directly cutting the tree demon in half. Amid screams, blood gushed out of half of the tree trunk.
Gu Sanzheng seemed to be furious, and the thunderbolt flying sword shot in all directions like a rainstorm. No matter whether it was a tree demon or not, as long as it was a tree, it would be killed without mercy.
The screams of tree demons rang out one after another, and more were real trees that fell down in large numbers. Soon, all the big trees within a kilometer radius were knocked down by his Thunderbolt Flying Sword.
The flying sword turned back and was invincible wherever it went.
With the joint efforts of everyone, the entanglement of tree demons in this area was quickly eliminated. The advantage of the Red Turban League's large number of people was immediately brought into play. All the demon corpses and demon corpse dragon horses were quickly killed. The remaining demon cultivators who survived by chance immediately fled into the forest behind.
The Red Turban League gathered in this kilometer radius and did not dare to rush forward without authorization. God knows how many tree demons are hidden in the countless trees in this large forest.
After this battle that has not yet been decided, the Red Turban League has lost nearly half of its troops, leaving only about 500 people. Gu Sanzheng's face was cold.
This was the biggest setback he had experienced since coming to Xingxiu Sea. With so many people fighting against so few demon cultivators, the number of people who died on his side was more than the total number of people who launched the attack on the demon cultivators. Even Dong Quan, Fei De'an and Hu Zhiyuan, three Qinglian ninth-grade masters, died in the battle.
What made him even more sad was that the disciples of the three major sects were almost wiped out in this battle, with only less than ten people left.
Gu Sanzheng gnashed his teeth and shouted angrily: "Set it on fire, I want to make the whole island barren!"
