Chapter 424 Going Alone
From the very beginning, this peach tree demon monster displayed an air of confidence that it could control everything, and it didn't take Lin Fei and the others seriously at all.
Just as it said, countless immortals have died at its hands. Which of these heads within the peaches of immortality wasn't more powerful and famous than Lin Fei and the others in life?
It was not worried at all that Lin Fei and the others would pose any threat to it, and had long regarded them as its prey.
And now, this is the first time that the peach tree demon has shown panic, even fear.
Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun, also known as the Eastern Extreme Longevity Emperor, was one of the most renowned celestial emperors of ancient times. He was on the same level as Zhenwu Emperor.
The Azure Emperor's Longevity Technique used by Yuan Yi is a secret technique passed down by the Eastern Pole Longevity Emperor.
Now it seems that the Azure Emperor's Longevity Technique has an unexpected restraining effect on this strange and unpredictable peach tree demon.
This peach tree demon is extremely strange. Its thick roots seem to have the effect of dissolving the cultivator's own strength. Once you are entangled by it, you will be unable to use your advantages.
Just like Du Qingmu before him, despite having the supreme cultivation of the Celestial Realm, once he was entangled by the tree roots, he was dragged into the tree trunk without even a chance to resist.
Judging from the appearance, Yuan Yi's Azure Emperor Longevity Technique has an unexpected restraining effect on this peach tree demon.
Those vibrant green patches seemed to be able to dissolve the power of the peach tree demon, even making it unable to control its own roots.
Yuan Yi probably anticipated this, which is why he dared to challenge the tree demon.
Yuan Yi remained expressionless and coldly said, "You fiend, you have committed countless evils and taken countless lives. It is your bad luck that you have met me today! Today, I will act on behalf of Heaven and cut you, this wicked fiend, down with my sword!"
"Acting on behalf of Heaven?" The peach tree demon sneered disdainfully. "Heaven is ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs. In Heaven's eyes, all things in the world are equal. You humans eat cattle, sheep, pigs, and dogs, while immortals eat the peaches from this peach orchard. Why can't I eat you? You stinking Taoist, what kind of Heaven are you acting on behalf of, and what kind of path are you following?"
Although it remained defiant, it was now showing signs of weakness beneath its tough exterior, and it proactively said, "You stinking Taoist, you do have some skill. But killing me won't be so easy. How about this, I'll let you and the boy behind you go, and tell you the location of a treasure in the Peach Palace?"
Seeing that Yuan Yi possessed such abilities, and that Yuan Yi's techniques had a significant restraining effect on him, the peach tree demon wanted to make a deal with Yuan Yi.
To obtain an ancient treasure from the Peach Palace would be an invaluable prize. Most people would likely have agreed. However, Yuan Yi remained unmoved, coldly declaring, "If I let you go today, you fiend, countless others will lose their lives at your hands in the future. Today, I will eliminate this scourge!"
It's important to understand that Lin Fei and his group are only among the first to enter the Heavenly Court ruins now that they've been opened. Following them, various major powers will send others to these ruins.
This Peach Garden is the center of the Eleventh Heavenly Palace, the Peach Palace itself. Anyone who comes to the Eleventh Heavenly Palace will inevitably visit this Peach Garden. At that time, they will likely all become food for the Peach Tree Demon.
Even a Celestial Master like Du Qingmu was utterly powerless against this Peach Tree Demon. If it weren't for Yuan Yi's Azure Emperor Longevity Technique, which happened to be the perfect counter to this monster, Lin Fei and the other two would likely have perished in this Peach Garden today.
Yuan Yi, known as "the compassionate guide to salvation," naturally wouldn't hesitate to seize the opportunity to eliminate this monster that threatened others' lives.
Seeing that Yuan Yi was resolute and unmoved by his temptations, determined to kill him with his sword, the peach tree demon was enraged: "I only didn't want to waste my time because I saw you had some skill. You stinking Taoist, do you really think I'm afraid of you? Hmph, the Azure Emperor's Longevity Technique is indeed powerful, but do you really think you're Chen Changsheng? Since you stinking Taoist don't know what's good for you, I'll fight you to the death today!"
As soon as the peach tree demon finished speaking, the entire peach orchard began to tremble violently. It was as if the peach tree demon and all the peach trees in the orchard had developed some kind of strange connection. All three thousand peach trees in the orchard began to shake simultaneously.
Amidst the violent shaking, tree roots emerged from the ground, each bearing traces of blood.
In an instant, countless tree roots danced wildly in mid-air within the Peach Garden, simultaneously enveloping Yuan Yi.
The peach tree demon said viciously, "You ungrateful, filthy Taoist priest, I'm going to take your life today!"
Countless tree roots, each as thick as a bowl, frantically enveloped Yuan Yi. In the blink of an eye, they formed a giant sphere of roots, completely enveloping Yuan Yi within it.
"Master!" Seeing this scene, Lin Fei couldn't help but feel anxious. He quickly gripped the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand and secretly prepared to unleash all his trump cards, such as the Heavenly Dao Ghost Soldier and the Heavenly Dao Ghost General.
Du Qingmu's accidental death in front of Lin Fei had already filled Lin Fei with regret. Yuan Yi was not only Lin Fei's mentor but also his blood uncle, the only family member he acknowledged in this world. He would absolutely not allow anything to happen to Yuan Yi.
Just as Lin Fei was preparing to unleash his full power to rescue Yuan Yi from the entanglement of the tree roots, Yuan Yi's voice suddenly rang out from the giant sphere composed of countless tree roots: "Yuan'er, don't worry about your master. This demon can't harm me. Go find what you're looking for, and I'll come back for you after I've slain this demon!"
A faint blue light emanated from the gaps between the countless tree roots, indicating that Yuan Yi's words were true; at least for now, the tree demon did not seem to pose any threat to Yuan Yi.
Lin Fei knew Yuan Yi's temperament; he was never one to boast or overestimate his own abilities due to arrogance.
Since Yuan Yi has said so, it proves that the tree demon is truly powerless against him. Not to mention that Yuan Yi's own Azure Emperor Longevity Technique is effective against the tree demon.
Hearing Yuan Yi's words, Lin Fei felt relieved.
