Capítulo 1232: Chapter 1217: Ultimate Weapon
One by one, giants transformed from ancient trees gathered around Ye Zhen, moving with strides like meteors. Soldiers densely packed in the garden were knocked over, horses staggered, bones snapped, causing cries of agony.
In an instant, the entire garden was in chaos. Lord Xitian, Princess Jie Youu, Huazhou, Habo, Luo Ren, and others were all dumbfounded.
However, aside from their astonishment, their reactions were not to be underestimated.
“To think there is such a skill, it’s beyond this old man’s expectations!” Lord Xitian’s face was somber. “But just a mere Fifth Stage Establishment Realm. Huazhou, you three can’t even handle a Fifth Stage Establishment Realm, can you?”
“Rest assured, Your Majesty!”
Before Lord Xitian could finish speaking, Luo Ren’s spear shot out towards Ye Zhen like a burst of flame.
This honor and position of Luo Ren were earned personally on the Human-Demon Battlefield.
Though Huazhou and Habo’s cultivation levels were higher than Luo Ren’s, in terms of real combat power, Luo Ren was not weaker.
Just looking at the immediate response shows the difference.
At the sudden change when the ancient tree transformed into a demon, Huazhou and Habo stopped in shock, even instinctively avoiding danger.
But Luo Ren was different. His body only paused slightly before accelerating towards Ye Zhen, his killing intent rushing like a torrent.
This made Ye Zhen squint slightly.
Luo Ren should be the strongest martial artist Ye Zhen has encountered since setting foot on the Primordial Continent.
Clearly, he was alone, but that single spear flying with flaming speed gave Ye Zhen the feeling of facing a ten-thousand-man charge.
It seemed like it wasn’t just Luo Ren but an army of ten thousand charging towards him.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Zhen suddenly punched out towards Luo Ren’s spear. The large Green Flame Fist Mark smashed heavily on Luo Ren’s spear tip.
Then it exploded with a bang!
In a thunderous explosion, Luo Ren groaned, rolling backward even faster than he advanced.
Luo Ren’s chest was charred black, his clothes in tatters, revealing a glinting protective Soul Armor. Taking a breath, Luo Ren spat out black smoke and looked at Ye Zhen with extreme caution.
Ye Zhen, on the other hand, looked proud.
That punch just now was simply incorporating the previous deadly weapon Xuan Fire Drill into the fist imprint, turning it into a Xuan Fire Fist.
The previous punch purely formed by Green Flame Skyfire, Ye Zhen casually combined it with two layers of formations, equivalent to the strength of a Second Formation Mysterious Fire Drill.
Ye Zhen wanted to test his true combat power on Luo Ren to see where he stands on the Primordial Continent.
The Second Formation Xuan Fire Fist purely formed by Green Flame Skyfire was several times more powerful than the previous Second Formation Xuan Fire Drill. With just one punch, it broke Luo Ren’s momentum and repelled him.
Ye Zhen estimated that his most powerful Four Formation Xuan Fire Fist could seriously injure or even kill Luo Ren.
As Luo Ren stopped, Huazhou and Habo rushed to his side, their eyes simultaneously turning to Luo Ren.
“This kid indeed has some tricks, very strong! I could defeat him easily, but killing him might take some effort!” Luo Ren stared at Ye Zhen and said, “But with the three of us together, we could kill him with one move!”
“No matter how strong he is, he’s just a Fifth Stage Establishment Realm!”
“Actually, I enjoy playing such a game of numbers!” Ye Zhen suddenly smiled confidently.
“Just relying on those Tree Demons behind you?” Luo Ren sneered, looking with disdain at the Tree Demons focusing around Ye Zhen. “They might not withstand even a few of my blows!”
Ye Zhen used the Spirit Communication Secret Technique within the Yimu Spiritual Communication Technique to awaken the Tree-man, and the key factors that influence their cultivation aura are twofold: Ye Zhen’s own cultivation strength and the innate quality of these Tree Demons.
A ten-year-old tree awakened and transformed into a Tree-man for battle would have cultivation lower by one grand realm than Ye Zhen, but an old tree of a hundred years, once awakened, would have cultivation just one small realm lower than Ye Zhen.
Plants and trees of a thousand or ten thousand years, once awakened by the Yimu Spiritual Communication Technique, could have a cultivation aura even stronger than Ye Zhen’s, especially if they possess precious bloodline qualities, their combat power would be even stronger.
Therefore, the most powerful among the Tree Demons focusing around Ye Zhen at this moment are thirty-plus Tree Demons at the Early Stage Establishment Realm. Besides them, the other Tree Demons are all at the Vein Forging Realm, Soul Sea Realm, and even a few at the pitifully weak Spirit Transformation Realm.
Hearing Luo Ren’s ridicule, the Little Demon within Ye Zhen immediately roared, “Let me, Father, let me. Let me perform the Yimu Spiritual Communication Technique, combined with the secret technique of my clan’s ancient spirits summon, I can definitely bring out twenty Tree Demons with Early Stage of Dao Entrance combat power for you!”
The Little Demon’s cultivation had reached the late-stage of Dao Entrance Realm Second Stage, and being a Tree Demon himself, the effect of performing the Yimu Spiritual Communication Skill was undoubtedly many times stronger than Ye Zhen’s.
Under normal circumstances, the Little Demon was indeed the best candidate to perform this Yimu Spiritual Communication Technique.
However, for the current situation, the Tree Demons awakened by Ye Zhen were enough.
The most important thing is that Ye Zhen, in the state of Sword Heart Enlightenment, always had a feeling of being watched.
Like being watched from the sky, so Ye Zhen didn’t want to reveal all his cards.
“Is that so?”
A strange smile appeared on the corner of Ye Zhen’s mouth. He suddenly raised his hand, and twenty Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbows and numerous arrow boxes flew out from Ye Zhen’s Red Moon Soul Ring.
Under Ye Zhen’s precise guidance with Divine Soul Power, they landed accurately among the twenty most powerful Tree Demons behind him.
Seeing the Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbow, Luo Ren, Huazhou, and Habo’s faces turned even more unsightly than if they had seen a ghost. Luo Ren was so shocked that he almost jumped in fright.
“Hell, how can an ordinary person like you have such a lethal weapon…”
Lord Xitian was dumbfounded. Twenty Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbows at that, he had those too!
Not only did he have them, but they were also his national weapon!
His ancestors had earned great merit on the Human Demon Battlefield, and exchanged a large amount of battle achievements for a hundred Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbows.
These hundred Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbows had successfully defeated three waves of invaders and suppressed two rebellions in the last three hundred years!
They were already Xitian Country’s national weapon of mass destruction, never used lightly.
But now, Ye Zhen had suddenly taken out twenty of them and aimed at them!
Knowing the power of the Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbow all too well, Lord Xitian was terrified!
As Luo Ren exclaimed, a single word escaped the corner of Ye Zhen’s mouth!
“Fire!”
In the next instant, two hundred Flame Spirit Burst Demon Arrows erupted with blinding brilliance, like two hundred fire meteors, directly covering Huazhou, Habo, and Luo Ren.
These twenty Flame Spirit Demon Burst Crossbows were prepared with arrow boxes when stored in the Red Moon Soul Ring. So, once the Tree-men took hold, Ye Zhen could command them to shoot.
Under the crimson glow, the faces of Luo Ren, Huazhou, and Habo turned paler than paper.
In just a split second, the three were completely enveloped by the brilliance of the exploding Flame Spirit Burst Demon Arrows.
A mushroom cloud hundreds of meters tall abruptly rose where the two hundred arrows impacted, and smoke and dust surged skyward instantaneously.
When the debris settled again, even Lord Xitian, who had hurriedly pulled Princess Jie Youu out of the blast zone at the last moment, was trembling from his lips.
Two-thirds of Chenghua Hall, where Ye Zhen had just been honored, had disappeared.
Along with them vanished Luo Ren, Huazhou, Habo, and the Heavy Assault Group stationed around them!
The Heavy Assault Group was the most elite force of Xitian Commandery.
The entire Heavy Assault Group of Xitian Commandery numbered only ten thousand, which was Xitian Commandery’s greatest capacity.
And now, one-tenth of it had disappeared completely!
Not only that, even the loyal Great Commanders of the Imperial Guard, Huazhou, and Habo, were gone.
As for Luo Ren, Lord Xitian intended for him to be the next Marshal of Border Army. After all, Luo Ren had survived the Human Demon Battlefield as an elite with extraordinary potential!
But now, all were gone!
“They’re using special Flame Spirit Burst Demon Arrows…” Lord Xitian’s fingers trembled as he pointed at Ye Zhen, unable to voice his anger and heartbreak.
Princess Jie Youu was completely stunned.
She never imagined Ye Zhen could be so strong!
After learning of Jiangg Hao and the others’ deaths, Princess Jie Youu and Lord Xitian agreed that Ye Zhen’s cultivation must be exceptional given that he could silently eliminate Jiangg Hao, someone at the Early Stage of Dao Entrance.
Thus, they planned this awarding ceremony, with the covert intent to eliminate Ye Zhen quietly.
But they never dreamed Ye Zhen would be this formidable!
It was simply defying the heavens!
At the moment of their shock, Ye Zhen had once again fearlessly commanded, “Fire at will, annihilate the surrounding troops. I want King Xitian captured alive!”
With a sneer, Ye Zhen charged toward King Xitian and Princess Jie Youu, who were poisoned by Jade Finger Scorpion, unable to mobilize any Spiritual Power.
Lord Xitian’s face twitched with fear, and he shouted out, disregarding any privacy or secrecy, “Summon the National Master Tributor, quickly summon the National Master Tributor!”
“Imperial Guard, quickly mobilize all Imperial Guards for protection!”
The eunuchs quickly sent out talisman communications one after another, and instantly there was movement inside and outside the imperial palace.
However, distant relief couldn’t quench nearby thirst.
Without the ability to mobilize Spiritual Power, no matter how fast Lord Xitian ran, he couldn’t outrun the lightning-fast Ye Zhen.
With just a flicker, Ye Zhen landed before Lord Xitian and Princess Jie Youu, a cold smile on his face.
Lord Xitian and Princess Jie Youu simultaneously called out in despair, but no one came to their aid, no matter how loudly they shouted.
Any soldier daring to approach would be obliterated by the Tree-men wielding Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbows, systematically slaughtered!
Just as Ye Zhen was about to capture King Xitian, mocking laughter suddenly echoed from the sky.
Accompanying it arose six other extraordinarily powerful auras!
Ye Zhen’s pupils narrowed sharply, “Existences of the Divine Communication Realm!”
