"Yes! Fasting Period, alright, I will take my leave to rest now. I hope you can eliminate this menace for us soon!" The Elder nodded, stood up, and said to Ling Mo Xie. Without waiting for a response, he quickly walked out, seemingly not intending to provide Ling Mo Xie with any more clues.
Ling Mo Xie spent the night in the tent provided by the Azure Wind Tribe, thinking about that monster all night and couldn't fall asleep until dawn. He sighed lightly; there was no way around it! This mission had to be completed, so he decided to investigate today!
Thus, Ling Mo Xie got up early to bid farewell to the Elder and headed in the direction indicated by him. After walking for a short while, he noticed an unusual glow flickering on the horizon where the grassland met the sky.
Ling Mo Xie paused; what was that? It seemed like the light of a spell. Could it be that an NPC was fighting that monster? Ling Mo Xie hurriedly quickened his pace and ran over, only to see a young man in dark robes, performing hand seals as wind blades flew out, battling against tree roots that seemed to have emerged from nowhere.
Ling Mo Xie stared blankly, even forgetting to cast his detection spell. It was the young man who saw Ling Mo Xie and shouted at him, "Little brother, run! This Tree Demon has become formidable; it's a Fourth Level Mid-Stage beast, and I can't subdue it!"
Snapping back to reality, Ling Mo Xie realized that a Fourth Level Mid-Stage beast was equivalent to a human in the mid-stage of fasting cultivation. Moreover, being a beast, it was likely stronger than a human at that level. Monsters don't appear without reason in Copy, so it seemed this was the big boss he had to deal with!
In an instant, Ling Mo Xie thought of many things. The young man before him looked quite capable; this was his chance to defeat the boss! Without hesitation, Ling Mo Xie cast a detection spell on the tree roots coming towards him and followed it up with a Glimpse of the Stunning Swan aimed at the roots.
Sophora Tree Demon: Level: 55 Health Points: ???????? Skills: Flying Whip, Life Drain, ???
Origin: The Sophora Tree Demon, which wandered from some forest to the grassland, gained tremendous power by absorbing the energy of the remains of three powerful beings.
It seemed this was indeed the monster for his mission! The Glimpse of the Stunning Swan met the roots of the Sophora Tree Demon, instantly severing them. An angry roar echoed from somewhere. The young man who had been fighting against the Sophora Tree Demon also looked at Ling Mo Xie in surprise and asked, "Aren't you from the grassland? Are you also a disciple of a sect?"
"There's no time for that now; what is your cultivation level? Let's focus on dealing with the Sophora Tree Demon!” Ling Mo Xie knew that if they fought head-on, he would definitely not be able to defeat this boss alone. The young man beside him was a great ally; since he had already managed to sever one of its roots earlier, they should capitalize on that advantage!
"Haha! My name is Zhao Buhui, and I am at mid-stage fasting cultivation. With your help, defeating this Sophora Tree Demon will be no problem!" The young man said while blocking an attack from one of the tree roots.
Ling Mo Xie paused for a moment. At the mid-stage of the Breaking Void realm, he was at the late stage of the Spirit Void realm. With the two of them working together, killing this Sophora Tree Demon shouldn't be too much of a problem. However, the system wouldn't issue such an easy task without any complications.
Just as Ling Mo Xie was contemplating, a loud and mocking laughter echoed from somewhere: "Ha ha! You think you can threaten me? Then I won't play anymore; just die! Ha ha!"
Ling Mo Xie immediately raised a fire wall around himself, preparing for any attacks. However, what he didn't expect was that while he was looking around defensively, a thick tree root shot up from the ground and instantly wrapped around his body. Ling Mo Xie felt his Health Points rapidly decreasing.
Damn it! Ling Mo Xie cursed under his breath and swung his weapon, executing a Glimpse of the Stunning Swan against the tree root. However, the root did not break; it merely trembled slightly, leaving a scar but remaining unharmed.
Seeing Ling Mo Xie in trouble, the young man clasped his hands together and murmured something under his breath while forming hand seals. Suddenly, countless cold gleaming swords flew toward the tree root entangling Ling Mo Xie.
"What are you doing?" Ling Mo Xie shouted with difficulty. A level four monster was indeed not something he could handle alone. What did the young man mean by sending these Flying Swords? Wouldn't he be attacked as well?
"Don't worry, little brother! These Flying Swords are demon-slaying swords; they only affect monsters!" The young man said earnestly. Ling Mo Xie had no choice but to believe him since he was already immobilized.
Ling Mo Xie was only at level forty-two, while the Tree Demon was at level fifty-five—a thirteen-level difference that couldn't be compensated by just one or two powerful skills. It seemed that he would have to rely on that young man for this mission. But could the system really be so kind as to pair him with such a strong partner so that he could just play a supporting role in completing the task?
As Ling Mo Xie pondered this, he felt a heightened sense of caution.
A hissing sound erupted as the Flying Sword struck the tree root, producing a sound reminiscent of corrosion. The root immediately rotted away and fell off, causing Ling Mo Xie to drop to the ground.
However, a fourth-level mid-stage monster was not so easily dealt with. Just as Ling Mo Xie hit the ground, countless tree root spears suddenly shot up from below, attacking both Ling Mo Xie and Zhao Buhui.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The loud sounds continued as Zhao Buhui, using hand seals, unleashed massive wind blades to clash against the tree root spears. Wind blades dissipated in the air while some tree root spears fell down.
Despite most of the Tree Demon’s energy being spent on dealing with Zhao Buhui, it only allocated about one-tenth of its effort to Ling Mo Xie. However, Ling Mo Xie found it extremely difficult to evade the attacks. At this point, he no longer cared about his image and simply sought to dodge the strikes, occasionally using Fireball and Glimpse of the Stunning Swan to collide with the tree root spear, managing to knock down quite a few.
At that moment, seeing that the tree root spear had yet to achieve any results, the Sophora Tree Demon became furious. Ling Mo Xie felt as if the entire earth was shaking, and a voice echoed from nowhere: “Gentle green grass, I command you, grant me your spirit power, and slay the enemy before me.”
Zhao Buhui's expression changed drastically. “Oh no! This Sophora Tree Demon is about to summon little demons! Although those little demons are not strong, their numbers are overwhelming! I might not be able to take care of you later!” Zhao Buhui said to Ling Mo Xie.
“Is it the Azure Sword Demon again?” Ling Mo Xie whispered softly. If that’s the case, then leave it to me!
Sure enough, as soon as the Sophora Tree Demon finished speaking, the weak little grass that had been swaying in the wind suddenly grew tall in an instant, quickly transforming into the form of the Azure Sword Demon. Unlike the Azure Sword Demon that attacked the Azure Wind Tribe last time, this time there were many more—almost limitless!
