Chapter 2027
byHan Leng’s protective origin power couldn’t block the sharp thorn at all and was directly pierced through. Immediately following, a small hole appeared on his forehead – the sharp thorn actually penetrated his entire head showing how powerful it was.
Han Leng’s strength was also quite powerful. Even though he suffered such a fatal injury, he didn’t die immediately. Instead, with a shocked expression, he forcefully turned his head. After seeing clearly who was sneak attacking him, he exclaimed in horror, “Why is it you？ This is impossible！”
He originally thought that the one sneak attacking him from behind was Liu Yizhi, who had the same strength as him. After all, after the last attack just now, Liu Yizhi’s entire person disappeared. Judging from the situation at that time, Liu Yizhi either had been reduced to powder or had taken the opportunity to hide.
After being sneak attacked, Han Leng thought that the reason why Liu Yizhi disappeared was because of the latter reason.
But when he saw clearly who was actually sneak attacking him, he realized that he was wrong.
The sneak attacker standing behind him, showing a strange smile at him, was not Liu Yizhi at all, but Ning Yuancheng whom he had personally killed！
Such a scene made him unable to believe it no matter what. Ning Yuancheng only had the cultivation base of the Void King Third Realm. He was personally stabbed to death by him with a long sword. Moreover, when searching Ning Yuancheng’s corpse just now, Han Leng had already confirmed the other party’s death.
How could a dead person come back to life？
But when Han Leng noticed Ning Yuancheng’s distinctive characteristics, he suddenly seemed to have understood something and murmured, “So that’s it…”
After saying that, his head tilted and he died instantly.
At the same time, not far away, Yang Kai only felt his scalp go numb and cold sweat broke out all over his body. Looking ahead, he exclaimed in surprise, “Wood Xiao！”
From the angle where he was standing, he could almost see clearly what had just happened.
Just when he was talking to Han Leng, Ning Yuancheng, who should have been dead beyond any doubt, actually stood up strangely and quietly. Then his mouth opened and a cyan wooden thorn shot out from his mouth and easily pierced into Han Leng’s head.
The reason why Han Leng was easily tricked was partly because his strength had been greatly reduced after the great battle. There was also a part of the reason because of Yang Kai’s shout.
Han Leng thought that Yang Kai was deceiving him, so he simply didn’t expect that there was really a fatal danger coming from behind. It was too late when he noticed.
How could a warrior spit out that kind of cyan wooden thorn from his mouth？ This kind of thing was very similar to some things Yang Kai had seen before in the Five-Colored Pagoda and in Fenglin City. So he recognized it at the first time.
This was the ancient Wood Xiao that had caused chaos in Fenglin City before!
That day, the wooden demons brought disaster to Fenglin City. Six Emperor Venerable Realm powerhouses personally took action. Thousands of warriors in Fenglin City died as a result. After some turmoil, the City Lord’s Mansion issued a statement, stating that the disaster of the wooden demons had been resolved and everyone could rest assured.
Now it seems that this is obviously a means for the City Lord’s Mansion to appease the crowd. The wooden demons have not been completely wiped out at all, and there are still those strange wooden seeds parasitizing on some warriors.
It’s just that this time the parasitism is extremely hidden. Not only did the six Emperor Venerable Realm powerhouses fail to detect it, but even Ning Yuancheng himself and Liu Yidu, who has been guarding by his side, didn’t discover it either.
If it weren’t for Ning Yuancheng’s sudden death this time, that wooden seed would definitely not have been exposed. The host died, and the wooden seed naturally had no need to hide anymore.
All of this is just a coincidence！
In the blink of an eye in Yang Kai’s mind, he had already figured out the ins and outs of the matter, and his heart couldn’t help but sink.
During those few days in Fenglin City, he had also participated in the hunting of the wooden demon clones. He knew very well how difficult this thing was to deal with and how hard it was to wipe out. Moreover, at that time, it was a dozen or even dozens of people working together, and still couldn’t avoid some casualties. Now there is only him alone.
Just as his thoughts were changing, a strange gurgling sound came from Ning Yuancheng’s mouth. And accompanied by this sound Han Leng’s body actually dried up rapid.
This was precisely one of the strange abilities of the Wooden Xiao. It could rapidly devour the essence of the flesh and blood of living beings to strengthen itself.
Ning Yuancheng originally only emitted the power fluctuation of the Void King 3-layer realm. But as he continuously devoured the essence of Han Leng’s flesh and blood, that aura unexpectedly rose steadily. Soon, it broke through to the peak of the Void King 3-layer realm and then reached the level of the Dao Source realm！
Yang Kai’s eyes couldn’t help but shrink. Knowing that if he didn’t make a move, it might be too late. He couldn’t help but let out a furious roar： “Dream on！”
As he spoke, a burning flaming long sword suddenly appeared in his hand. It was precisely the energy body he condensed with the fire qi of the Indestructible Five Elements Sword Qi.
His figure flickered, and he drives the spatial power to rush in front of Ning Yuancheng and swung the sword to chop downwards!
With a loud explosion, the air became extremely hot！
The Wooden Xiao was a wood-elemental existence, and the fire-elemental power was its Nemesis. Mo Xiaoqi had once told Yang Kai about this. During the days of eradicating the Wooden Xiao clones in Fenglin City, Yang Kai had also verified it many times.
When dealing with the Wooden Xiao clones, the fire-elemental power was even more effective than the spatial power.
This sword directly aimed at Ning Yuancheng’s head. If it hit, it would definitely split him in two.
But how could the clone of the Wooden Demon allow Yang Kai to succeed so easily? Ning Yuancheng’s mouth was wide open, and the cyan spikes in his mouth were still piercing through Han Leng’s head, continuously devouring his flesh and blood essence. But in his eyes, a glint of light flashed, and his arms swept out. Amidst a series of crackling explosions and distortions, they suddenly turned into two thick and long vines. Like a dragon emerging from the sea, one vine swept towards Yang Kai’s waist, and the other blocked in front of himself for protection.
Hoo chi chi…
The Fire Sword slashed down, and it was seen that a considerable opening was cut on one of the vines but it failed to completely sever it. Under the pain, Ning Yuancheng let out a strange sound from his mouth.
And at the same time, the other vine had already swept in front of Yang Kai.
Yang Kai’s eyelids shrank, and he didn’t dare to stay in place. He immediately flashed and disappeared into the mid-air.
That vine missed with a swipe！
On the other vine that was cut by Yang Kai, the flames were burning. But after a flash of cyan light, the flames were extinguished, and the almost broken vine returned to its original state！
How could this be？” Yang Kai reappeared and was greatly shocked.”
In the Maple Forest City that day, there were several Wooden Demon clones that died at his hands. Although the vitality of these Wooden Demon clones was extremely tenacious and they were very difficult to kill, none of the Wooden Demon clones was as tough and powerful as the one in front of him.
Just now, Yang Kai didn’t hold back at all. Logically speaking, he should have chopped off the opponent’s vine and caused heavy damage to the opponent.
But now, this Wooden Demon clone was actually unharmed.
This abnormal discovery made Yang Kai’s heart couldn’t help a little vigilant and he felt vaguely that the Wooden Demon clone in the front of him was probably unusual.
And in the short time when Yang Kai’s attack was ineffective, Han Leng had been sucked into a mummy. Only then did Ning Yuancheng take back the wooden thorn in his mouth, and there was actually a hint of satisfaction on his distorted face.
“Dao Source 1-layer Jing ！” Yang Kai felt the aura emanating from Ning Yuancheng, and his face suddenly turned cold！
Opposite, Ning Yuancheng gave Yang Kai a venomous look, as if blaming him for spoiling his good deed. With a shock of his body, the clothes on his body were shaken into countless pieces and scattered in all directions. And from his abdomen, chest cavity, and thighs, The cyan vines suddenly drilled out. The tips of those vines were extremely sharp comparable to the sharpest sword weapons.
In an instant, Ning Yuancheng’s entire person had changed drastically.
At this moment, where did he still have the slightest resemblance to a human? He was clearly just a wooden goblin. Only on the trunk-like part did there remain the traces of Ning Yuancheng’s facial features. The countless vines danced and twined, like poisonous snakes, making people shudder at the sight.
Some of the flying vines stabbed towards Yang Kai, like divine whips falling from the nine heavens making people’s hearts tremble with fear. And the other part swept towards the surroundings, rolling up the corpses of the dead disciples of the Flying Saint Palace one by one, stabbing the sharp thorns at the top into their bodies, and devouring their flesh and blood essence.
The sound of gulping and swallowing things came, and the corpses of the numerous martial artists shriek at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Youdaoplaceholder0 thinking! Seeing this, Yang Kai’s couldn’t help but turn fierce, and he condensed the sword qi of fire in his hand and waved it away.
Chi chi chi chi… One breaking wind sounds rang out after another and the scorching sword qi of fire accurately penetrated the corpses of the disciples of the Flying Saint Palace and the boundless heat instantly burned these corpses clean.
The wooden goblin clone of the Dao Source Realm was already difficult enough to deal with. How could Yang Kai give it the opportunity to continue strengthening its strength？
And when the Mu Xiao clone saw this situation, it suddenly turned around to face Yang Kai. On the tree trunk, the five senses belonging to Ning Yuancheng let out a shrill and sharp cry, as if extremely angry. Immediately, its body swayed, and countless wooden whiskers grew from its roots, drilling downward like earthworms and taking root there.
Then, with a shake, countless vines attacked Yang Kai like arrows.
Yang Kai grinned, used the power of space to avoid this blow, and then waved his hand to release the mother body of the demon insect and the Green Flame Thunder Leopard.
“Get it！” Yang Kai shouted sharply, and with a flicker, he rushed in front of the Mu Xiao. The flaming long sword in his hand condensed rolling heat waves and slashed downward fiercely like a mountain pressing down.
And at the same time, the Purple-Green Twin Swords in the hands of the mother body of the demon insect were brandished into two-color intertwined lights, and the icy artistic conception spread out. snowflakes fluttered down from the sky.
The snow is like a clear sky！
The snowflakes twirled and slowly fell, but each snowflake was as sharp as a knife. When it landed on the vines of the Mu Xiao, it made small wounds on the vines. Green fluid flowed out from the wounds and the icy artistic conception invaded the interior of the vines along the wounds, greatly hindering the self-healing ability of the vines.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the mother body of the demonic insect rushed forward, both swords slashing out, cooperating with Yang Kai’s movements and continuously cutting in all directions.
And the Azure Flame Thunder Leopard was hiding in the distance, its mouth opening and closing, balls of azure flame blasting towards the wooden xiao without regard for its life, emitting popping explosion sounds.
For a while, Yang Kai and the two blood beasts joined forces and actually suppressed the wooden xiao clone so that it had no power to fight back and could only passively take the beating.
