The next day, under Zhang Ruochen’s leadership, the group, travelling towards the depths of the Blackwood Plains, soon came across a king of the Tree People Clan.
This Tree Man was one hundred and thirty-two feet tall, like a giant in the sky.
It had grown for more than 3,400 years, and was comparable to the strength of a Fish Dragon Third Transformation Cultivator, and in the Tree People Clan, it was enough to be called the “King of Tree People”.
“Hoo!”
Seeing Zhang Ruochen, the Tree Man King instantly became furious and roared, and in a flash, a roaring hurricane surged up between the entire mountain range.
“Extraterrestrial God of Death, you slaughtered my clan members, today, this king will break you into pieces.”
After last night’s night of fermentation, the news of the tree people clan’s massacre had already spread throughout the Blackwood Plains.
This Tree Man King led two thousand year old Tree Men, and hundreds of hundred year old Tree Men, even if they had specially come to deal with Zhang Ruochen, the Extra-Terrestrial God of Death.
The Tree Man King did not know that Zhang Ruochen had also come specifically to find it.
Killing a Fish Dragon Third Transformation Tree Man could accumulate 100,000 points of Military Merit Value, just thinking about it made Zhang Ruochen quite excited and full of wariness.
The Fish Dragon Third Transformation and the Fish Dragon Second Transformation seemed to differ by only one realm, but in reality, there was a huge gap.
Even if a strong person like Pei Ji was able to easily defeat a cultivator of the Fish Dragon Second Transformation, he would only be able to run for his life if he encountered a cultivator of the Fish Dragon Third Transformation.
Zhang Ruochen had fought with cultivators above the Fish Dragon Third Transformation, but, that was to borrow the power of the first seal of the Sherri Son to temporarily gain great power.
The first seal of the Sherry Son had been unsealed and its power had been exhausted, so if Zhang Ruochen wanted to obtain that power again, he would have to break through to the Fish Dragon Realm and unseal the second seal of the Sherry Son.
Therefore, this time, it was the first time that Zhang Ruochen truly fought against a strong person of the Fish Dragon Third Transformation, and even Zhang Ruochen wasn’t absolutely sure if he could defeat that Tree Man King or not.
The great battle was imminent, and the two thousand year old Tree People standing behind the Tree People King rushed out first, attacking Zhang Ruochen.
The two thousand year old Tree People, having grown for over two thousand years, were comparable to a Fish Dragon Second Transformation cultivator.
“Swish swish.”
One of them, a Thousand-Year Tree Man, controlled seven vines, as if it was holding seven whips, constantly lashing out.
The surface of the vines was covered with a dazzling layer of firelight, emitting a “snapping” sound.
It was not an ordinary vine, but a vine essence that had been cultivated for a thousand years, the Fire Vine.
The power of the seven fire vines and the power of the thousand year old tree man complemented each other to form a huge destructive force. As long as one was struck by the vines, even a tens of metres high stone wall would, in an instant, collapse.
Zhang Ruochen continuously performed body techniques to avoid the vines.
Suddenly, he dashed forwards and kept changing his body shape, passing through seven vines and flying down on top of a branch of the Thousand Year Tree Man.
“Die for me.”
Under the control of that one Thousand Year Tree Man, the seven fire vines, like seven fire pythons that possessed spirituality, travelled between the branches and entangled Zhang Ruochen’s hands and feet.
The vines, getting tighter and tighter, wrapped Zhang Ruochen’s body airtight.
That one thousand year old tree man laughed out loud, controlling dozens of sharp branches, like dozens of spears, revealing their sharp tips, and stabbing towards Zhang Ruochen, who was wrapped in vines.
Suddenly, an ear-piercing sword sound was emitted from within that mass of vines. A sword light rushed out, followed by countless sword qi surging out in all directions.
“Wow.”
All seven Fire Vines snapped and turned into pieces of broken wood that flew out.
Zhang Ruochen soared up with the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword in his hand, and then, turning around sharply, he slashed his sword down towards the one thousand year old tree man, and only a “giggling” sound could be heard.
In the next moment, Zhang Ruochen was already standing underneath the Thousand-Year Tree Man, while that Thousand-Year Tree Man was split in half, falling to the left and right, spilling a large amount of blood that was like a rain of blood, colouring the earth red.
The other Thousand-Year Tree Man, seeing that the Extraterrestrial Reaper was so ferocious, was stunned and stopped in his tracks, saying, “Tree Man King, the Extraterrestrial Reaper is too terrifying”
“Is it? You get out of the way, I’ll meet him for a while.”
The speed of the Tree Man King was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed in front of Zhang Ruochen, swinging two branches as thick as grinding discs and striking at Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen leapt and passed between the two branches and flew up, saying, “The defence of the Tree Man Clan is indeed very strong, however, the attacking power is very weak. Tree Man King, you are no match for me.”
“Damn extradimensional death god, too fast!”
Feeling no small amount of pressure, the Tree Man King not only mobilised his tree branches, but mobilised his tree roots as well, as if he had transformed into a giant with a thousand hands and arms, constantly launching attacks at Zhang Ruochen.
Although the Tree Man King had not cultivated martial arts, however, being able to live for more than 3,000 years, he must have a strong knowledge of the rules of the heavens and earth, and any attack would be purposeful and lethal.
“Worthy of being a Tree Man King, the attacks are also so powerful.”
Zhang Ruochen did not compete with the Tree Man King in terms of strength, but, instead, kept swinging his sword out, trying to borrow the sharpness of the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword to cut through the branches and roots of the Tree Man King.
However, the Tree Man King was very intelligent, and each attack deliberately avoided the sword’s blade and directly attacked Zhang Ruochen’s physical body, either striking at the back or the head.
“Since that’s the case, then we can only perform the Imperial Sword Technique.”
Zhang Ruochen struck the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword out, passing through a branch and directly attacking the tree trunk of the Tree Man King.
“Boom!”
A bucket-thick tree root rushed up from the soil and swung over, striking above the back of the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword and sending the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword flying out.
Zhang Ruochen snorted coldly and stretched out a finger, mobilising the power of his spiritual force and pointing it towards the Tree Man King.
“Giggle!”
The spiritual energy of the heavens and earth immediately transformed into strands of purple electricity, which intersected with each other to form a gigantic lightning bolt that cut through the sky and struck the Tree Man King’s body.
Immediately, the Tree Man King let out a miserable cry as its entire body became scorched black.
The branches and roots that it attacked out also, at that moment, became sluggish for a moment.
In that instant, Zhang Ruochen seized the opportunity and rushed below the Tree Man King.
“Wow!”
The Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword flew back and fell into his hands.
Without hesitation, Zhang Ruochen chopped out with the sword, cutting off the trunk of the Tree Man King, cutting it off at the waist.
“No.”
The Tree Man King roared, and in the moment of his death, he controlled two tree roots and struck forward, hitting Zhang Ruochen’s chest.
“Boom Boom!”
The Tree Man King’s dying counterattack contained its lifelong strength, striking through Zhang Ruochen’s Body Protecting Heavenly Dipper and the defensive power of the Dragon Pearl, sending Zhang Ruochen spitting blood from his mouth and flying backwards.
Zhang Ruochen knelt on one knee, covering his chest as blood continued to gush out of his mouth, only to feel the fiery pain in his internal organs, as if flames were burning.
“Careless! The strength of the Tree Man King, how terrifying, I actually didn’t think of its counterattack before it died, in the future, I must not make such a mistake again. Fortunately, I have the Dragon Pearl to protect my body, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. Luckily, I killed that Tree Man King, and 100,000 military merit points came to hand Cough!”
Zhang Ruochen coughed twice, once again, coughing up blood.
Seeing that Zhang Ruochen had suffered a heavy blow, that one thousand year old Tree Man immediately rushed up, now was the best time to kill the Extraterrestrial Death God.
“Wow!”
It detached one of its thickest branches and chopped down, striking at the top of Zhang Ruochen’s head.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes stared as he suppressed his injuries and swung his sword, a sword qi flew out and severed the branch that struck down.
The Thousand Year Tree Man once again branched out into two branches and continued to attack over.
“Things that don’t know how to die, don’t you know that this emperor is here.”
A black light emanated from Little Black’s body, and a “crackling” sound resounded within his body as his body continued to expand.
A few moments later, Little Black became ten feet tall, and had a pair of huge wings, just like a small black mountain, revealing sharp claws and teeth.
“Swish!”
Little Black’s two claws reached out at the same time, plucking the thousand year old tree man from the ground, and bit down with a bite, clicking and snapping off the trunk of the thousand year old tree man.
Afterwards, it swallowed the thousand year old tree man, all of it, into its stomach.
Seeing this scene, the Orange Moon Star Envoy was shocked to the extreme, “This this is just a savage beast”
After transforming, Xiao Hei, which still looked like a cat, was simply like a Mangwu Divine Beast, raising its head, it could swallow the sun and the moon, taking a step, it could cross a river.
Its eyes, which were like two balls of thunder, roared, “If this Emperor doesn’t wield power, you think I’m a sick cat.”
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze, gazing into the distance, saw a dark forest, like a tidal wave, surging in this direction.
Zhang Ruochen said, “We must leave this place as soon as possible, a large group of Tree People are rushing over, moreover, there are many thousand year old Tree People. If we are surrounded by them, we won’t be able to escape!”
“Still not quick enough to escape.”
The aura on Little Black’s body instantly dissipated.
Its body, which immediately shrunk to its original size, turned into a black residual shadow and fled into the distance first.
“Team Leader, you’re injured, I’ll carry you.”Ao Xin Yan said with concern.
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “I’m fine, you go and bring along the Orange Moon Star Envoy. There’s no need for us to get tough with the Tree People Clan, let’s leave here first.”
Zhang Ruochen operated his true qi to protect his injured internal organs, performed his body technique and rushed out.
“Rumble!”
Not long after, this forest area resounded with terrifying sounds.
Tens of thousands of tree people, like a forest tide, rushed to this place and stopped.
The leading five tree people were all powerful, all of them were tree people kings that had grown for three thousand years.
“One step too late, the Taki Tree Man King, has already been killed by the Extraterrestrial God of Death.”One of the Tree People Kings snorted coldly.
“Damn it, give me chase, we must get rid of that one Extraterrestrial Death God, otherwise, soon, it will be the end of our Tree People Clan.”
Under the leadership of the five tree people kings, the tree people army continued to chase after them.
