Chapter 681 - 512: Downfall (Part 2)

And this is the Divine Power: Spirit Erosion and Rebirth of the Blood Tree Master.

At the cost of dropping a small realm, it sprouts anew, reborn!

He was originally at the Early Stage of Golden Core, but using this divine power naturally brought him down to Foundation Establishment Perfection.

As a local Tree Demon, he had a concealing secret technique, allowing him to mask his presence within the land, eluding everyone's Divine Sense. In the moment when everyone felt jubilant and let down their guard, he made a sudden, vicious attack, achieving success in one strike!

A wooden stake pierced through Yang Jiye's chest. The Blood Tree Master, without even glancing, steadied his feet, intent on retreating back into the soil.

Confident that with this Earth Escape Technique and the concealment secret method, he could easily slip away.

But Xiao Tianci had already gripped his longsword, his body flickering and vanishing into thin air.

A green glow leapt!

Xiao Tianci appeared behind the Blood Tree Master, Cyan Rainbow made a light flick, and the sword returned to its sheath.

By this time, the Blood Tree Master's lower legs had just begun to sink into the soil.

He made a gurgling sound in his throat, tried to lift his arm, but suddenly came a soft cracking sound, followed by the ripping noise of wood being torn apart.

The Blood Tree Master shattered from head to toe into thirty-two pieces!

Rahu Fierce Sword: Flying Light.

Time flies like a sword, cutting down all beings under the heavens, unstoppable and unavoidable. This is the fiercest, mightiest, and fastest sword.

Xiao Tianci's understanding of the Flying Light Sword Technique deepened rapidly, and the sliver of Sword Intent wielded through the Dao Pattern of "Sword Soul" grew ever stronger.

Yet even shattered to this extent, the pieces of the Blood Tree Master still quivered incessantly. A small seed fell off and burrowed into the earth.

Xiao Tianci's arm shook, and with a backhanded swing, he struck again!

Burning River!

Scarlet Sword Qi burst ferociously, scorching rivers and boiling seas, sweeping across, leveling the ground and incinerating the Blood Tree Master's remains to ash; the seed in the soil instantly charred into coal.

Blood Tree Master was truly dead this time.

Li Da had rushed forward, about to extend his hand, when Tan Yunxing suddenly emerged, scooping Yang Jiye into his embrace.

He stretched out his palm, a bright blue light appeared, the glimmering water waves constantly coalescing, plugging the shocking wound on Yang Jiye's body.

"Elder Yang! Elder Yang!" Tan Yunxing cried in shock and fear, his heart in panic, the earlier triumph vanished. He exerted all his strength using secret techniques, continuously channeling Foundation Establishment Spiritual Power.

"Quick!" he shouted to Li Da, "Pour the Yanghu Powder on the wound! Then take a Seven-Star Pill, cut it into four parts, dissolve it in water, deliver a quarter to Elder Yang, and give me a quarter!"

Li Da then remembered that Tan Yunxing had Water-Wood Dual Spiritual Roots and was quite talented in the Medical Dao, having learned many medical secret techniques from senior sister Wu Yan. Not daring to delay, he swiftly followed the instructions.

Yun Mountain disciples gathered together, under Xiao Tianci's leadership, surrounding them, vigilantly surveying the surroundings to prevent any more surprises.

Yang Jiye's face had turned the color of gold paper, and Tan Yunxing was also in a sweat of worry, wondering why, when he had just recently succeeded in Foundation Establishment, Elder Yang suffered such dire injury? He snatched the drugs brought by Li Da, exerted all his strength to operate the secret technique, plugging the large wound, circulating Yang Jiye's blood, dispersing the drug's power; in no time, he was sweating profusely, his clothes soaked through.

Under the anxious gaze of the disciples, Tan Yunxing nearly exhausted his fledgling Foundation Establishment Spiritual Power, but finally, his face eased slightly.

Under the effect of secret techniques and Spirit Pills, the massive gaping wound through Yang Jiye's chest was at least sealed. Fortunately, at the moment of attack, Yang Jiye tilted slightly, preventing the wooden stake from piercing his heart, otherwise not even an immortal could have saved him.

He dared not stop, continuing his ministrations. Finally, Yang Jiye's breath shifted from nearly nonexistent to weak but steady; his heartbeat, though feeble, managed to halt his plummet toward death's abyss.

Tan Yunxing exhaled a long breath, carefully stitching and bandaging Yang Jiye's wound again. Anxiously, he said, "Now that we've stabilized Elder Yang's condition, we must immediately head back. I will exert all efforts along the way to sustain Elder Yang's vitality."

Everyone felt slightly relieved at this, having just been elated over Tan Yunxing's success in Foundation Establishment, only to face the Blood Tree Master's sudden attack, leaving Yang Jiye severely injured, but happily, he could still be saved, a relief indeed.

Xiao Tianci nodded, mindful that neither he nor the newly Foundation-Established Tan Yunxing had much Spiritual Power left, and with Yang Jiye unconscious and Yun Mountain disciples greatly diminished in Spiritual Power, having lost over a dozen fellow disciples in the recent battle.

All were exceedingly weak. This was no friendly place; they needed to leave quickly.

So, the Yun Mountain group barely had time to gather themselves, hurried onto the Wind Rainbow Cranes, planning to retreat and recover while on the move.

But just as they ascended into the air, a harrowing wail echoed from afar!

Xiao Tianci's gaze shifted, and suddenly his expression changed.

It was that human bone horse carriage that once trailed the Yun Mountain group!

The two humans, with their shoulder blades pierced by talisman chains, shrieked loudly, maneuvering their spiritual artifacts and pulling the carriage straight toward the group!

Were they passing by by chance, or had they been tailing the group from afar all along?!

"Quick!" No time to ponder it now, Li Da shouted, "Fly at full speed, shake them off!"

But it was unsuccessful. The escape speed of the Wind Rainbow Crane was a thousand miles per hour, while the ordinary Foundation Establishment's speed was eight hundred miles per hour. However, these two pulling the carriage seemed to endure immense pain, with sparks of ghostly fire burning on their shoulders, squeezing out their life potential, exceeding a thousand miles, slightly faster than the Wind Rainbow Crane.
