Chapter 2003

This sudden change made the faces of many warriors staying in the square look ugly, but they were the strength of the Emperor Respect Realm powerhouses and didn’t dare to have any disrespectful places.

Immediately, everyone began to guess what all this was for.

And at this moment, Xiao Yuyang and Gao Xueting, who were sitting on the high platform, looked at each other and stood up together.

The next moment, two huge divine thoughts, like substance, swept in all directions, enveloping the entire huge square.

Almost everyone’s body stiffened in an instant. After all, being swept by the divine thoughts of two Emperor Venerable Realm powerhouses, no one would feel too comfortable. In the face of that powerful divine thought, the secrets in one’s body seemed to be exposed without any cover, as if they were about to be revealed immediately.

However, soon, these two divine thoughts were taken back, making everyone feel relieved.

“It seems that quite a few people have been hit.” Xiao Yuyang suddenly smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to point forward. At the tip of his finger, a stream of light suddenly shot out.

The speed of the stream of light was extremely fast. In just the blink of an eye, it came to a male warrior in a blue robe and shot straight at his abdomen.

That blue-robed warrior had the cultivation base of the Void King Realm Layer 2. Seeing that the Emperor Venerable Realm was attacking him, he couldn’t help but change his expression in horror and shouted, “Star Envoy you…”

He really couldn’t figure out how a small Void King Realm like himself had the qualification to make the Silver Star Envoy of the Star God Palace attack him personally.

Before he could finish speaking, the stream of light hit his lower abdomen. The man in blue couldn’t help but grunt. As if hit by a huge force, his entire body flew backwards and fell into the crowd.

And at the same time, from his back, that stream of light shot out. However, at this moment, it seemed that there was something wrapped in the stream of light.

Everyone looked carefully and found that the thing was actually an oval-shaped cyan seed.

With a soft sound of “pa…”, the stream of light burst open, and the seed also disappeared in the explosion and turned into powder.

There was a faint shrill chirping sound. It came out from the inside of the seed.

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn’t help but change their complexions. Anyone could tell that there should be something abnormal in the body of the man in blue, and the reason why Xiao Yuyang attacked him was also to drive away this abnormality.

Turning their heads to look again, although the man in blue whose body was pierced by the mysterious light at the moment looked pale, as if he was severely injured he actually stood up staggeringly and was not in danger of losing his life.

Xiao Yuyang didn’t look at him. Instead, there was a cynical sneer hanging from the corner of his mouth, and his ten fingers flicked continuously.

One after another, streams of light like the previous ones shot out in all directions and hit different warriors in the crowd respectively.

And while Xiao Yuyang was doing this, Gao Xueting also took action.

The young woman’s expression was solemn as she made hand seals in the air with one hand, Transform them into rune patterns one after another. Immediately after that, they split into small net-like shapes and also shot out in all directions.

Those small nets seemed to have their own spirituality and quickly found their respective targets. They directly netted over the bodies of martial artists.

Each of the martial artists enveloped by the small nets let out a muffled groan. The small nets, however, seemed to pass through something intangible and emerged from the backs of these martial artists. But at this moment, there was actually an additional green seed in each of these small nets.

The young woman made another hand seal, and those small nets all burst open, and the seeds trapped within them also exploded together.

“What is this？” Some martial artist shouted in horror and continuously retreated.

Although the two Great Emperor Venerable Realm powerhouses made their moves without the intention of taking people’s lives, after seeing that there were such strange seeds in the bodies of the nearby martial artists, quite a number of the remaining people still became frightened.

And just at this moment, in the plaza, shrill and miserable screams came from all directions.

Immediately after. A violent surge of power.

In the crowd, there suddenly appeared strange-shaped tree-like existences. These things suddenly looked no different from trees at first glance, but they exuded an extremely evil aura. And in the center of the tree trunks, there were actually human faces.

Yang Kai was also shocked at this moment.

He witnessed with his own eyes that a martial artist beside him underwent a tremendous change in an extremely short period of time.

This martial artist had been chatting and laughing with his companions just now, discussing the opportunity of entering the Five-Colored Pagoda this time, with an excited look on his face. But just now, he suddenly became extremely painful.

At the same time, a cyan light lit up on his abdomen, his skin cracked, and blood flowed out. And from his flesh and blood, it seemed that something else was drilling out.

In just the blink of an eye, this martial artist turned into a tree-like existence in front of his eyes. And the face of this martial artist was embedded in the center of the trunk, struggling and howling with a hideous expression, and soon there was no movement.

Chi chi chi chi…

cyan vines shot out from within this tree, whipping and stabbing in all directions.

Several nearby martial artists were caught off guard for a moment. One of them was actually pierced through the body by this vine. There was a gurgling sound from the vine, as if it was devouring something. And the martial artist whose body was pierced actually shrieked in an extremely short period of time.

“Wood demons!” Yang Kai exclaimed in surprise.

How familiar was the scene in front of him？ It was exactly the scene when he had encountered the wood demons on the second floor of the Five-Colored Pagoda before.

But he never expected that he would see it again in the square of Fenglin City.

While shouting this sentence, Yang Kai quickly retreated and at the same time urged the fire sword energy of the Indestructible Five Elements Sword to chop at the vine stabbing at him.

With a bang, the burning fire sword chopped off the top thorn of the vine, and Yang Kai drifted back with this force.

And at this time, many martial artists had already recognized the culprit of this mutation, and in an instant the name of the Wooden Xiao spread on the square.

“All of you, circulate your strength to resist and don’t let the wooden seeds invade your body, otherwise your end will be the same！” Xiao Yuyang’s angry shout suddenly came from the high platform.

Upon hearing this, Yang Kai immediately understood and quickly circulated his strength to cover his whole body, so as not to accidentally fall for it.

Other martial artists with quick reactions were like Yang Kai. Some of the martial artists with slow reactions were lucky enough to escape, while some were unlucky and were indeed invaded by the tiny wooden seeds and then became the clones of the Wooden Xiao in a very short time.

On the high platform, Xiao Yuyang snorted coldly, his strength surged violently, and with a wave of his hand, he killed several clones of the Wooden Xiao from a distance.

That Gao Xueting was also extremely powerful. Seeing that the situation was already a bit out of control, she naturally no longer held back when she made a move and killed those clones of the Wooden Xiao extremely neatly.

And at the same time, the other four Emperor Venerable Realms were doing the same thing throughout Fenglin City.

Before, when many martial artists returned to the square from the Five-Colored Pagoda, quite a few people left immediately. And among these people, naturally there were martial artists whose bodies had been eroded by the wooden seeds of the wooden demons. Now seeing that the situation was not good, they all revealed their true forms one after another.

For a time, the six Emperor Venerable Realms were killing those wooden demon clones like cutting melons and vegetables.

And after the martial artists in Fenglin City realized the troublesome of the wooden mons they also all exert their strength to protect themselves.

For a time, the entire Fenglin City was plunged into a chaotic battle. However, in terms of the overall situation, it was still very clear. These wooden demon clones were not very powerful, but their means were too strange. The wooden seeds of the wooden demons they emitted could invade the bodies of martial artists silently.

But if the martial artists were prepared, the probability of being invaded would be greatly reduced.

Under the joint efforts of many martial artists, the crisis of the wooden demons seemed to be resolved soon.

Half a day later, in Fenglin City, the bodies of the wooden demon clones were lying everywhere. These bodies were originally those of the martial artists in Fenglin City, but after being eroded by the wooden seeds, they had all transformed into another kind of existence.

The six Emperor Venerable Realms, in order to avoid not being able to eradicate the root, specifically acted separately and patrolled the entire Fenglin City.

This patrol indeed found some hidden wooden seeds again.

This situation lasted for a full two days, and the chaos in Fenglin City gradually subsided.

Within these two days, as many as several thousand martial artists in Fenglin City died because of this, showing the horror of the Wooden Xiao. It didn’t even need to take action personally, and could achieve this level just by spreading the wooden seeds.

If it were really allowed to grow up, I’m afraid the entire Fenglin City would be reduced to a living hell.

Yang Kai finally recognized the horror of this thing and felt that what Mo Xiaoqi said that day about Emperor Senior Realm powerhouses falling into the hands of the Wooden Xiao might not be groundless.

During these two days, he had also been actively cooperating with other martial artists to kill and search for the Wooden Xiao’s clones. After all, all the martial artists in the entire Fenglin City were doing this. If he didn’t do it, he would definitely be regarded as an outlier and be hostile.

And during this process, both Mo Xiaoqi and Kang Siran had asked about his safety many times. After getting the news that he was all right, the two of them were relieved.

When everything was settled, Yang Kai went to the Spirit Pill Workshop to meet with Kang Siran, made an appointment for the next time to come and refine pills, and then leisurely walked towards the cave he rented.

He needed to sort out his gains from this time’s entry into the Five-Colored Pagoda.

At the same time, in the City Lord’s Mansion.

The six Emperor Senior Realm powerhouses gathered together, and Duan Yuanshan still stood at the lower position.

The expressions of several Emperor Venerable Realm powerhouses were not as relaxed and freehand as before, but rather somewhat solemn.

“Several adults, has that Wooden Ghoul really been completely eradicated？” Duan Yuanshan hesitated for a long time before asking carefully.

He had previously personally killed two of his cronies and also thoroughly realized the difficulty of eradicating that Wooden Ghoul, so his mood was very heavy.

“If I said it was completely eradicated, you definitely wouldn’t believe it.” Xiao Yuyang looked up at him.

“What the adult means is…” Duan Yuanshan’s face changed slightly.

Xiao Yuyang sighed and said, “There are many types of Wooden Ghouls, and their innate abilities are different. This Wooden Ghoul… really exceeded this seat’s expectations. This seat also dare not guarantee whether it really no longer exists in the world. Perhaps, there are still some hidden wooden seeds that we failed to detect.”

Duan Yuanshan’s expression changed in horror and said, “With the means of several adults, you can’t be sure？”

Gao Xueting said, “Can’t be sure. Unless you gather all the warriors in the entire Fenglin City and let us check one by one with our divine thoughts, only then can we be sure.”

“How dare I trouble the six adults to go to such lengths.” Duan Yuanshan was shocked and quickly apologized.
