Top-class Bodyguard

Those small particles in mid-air exploded one after another, transforming into seeds.

These seeds were somewhat reminiscent of the power Poison Emperor realized upon entering the spirit realm during his time at the Wind God Hall. Whether these seeds landed on the ground or fell into flesh, they would rapidly root and sprout, absorbing the energy from the flesh, leaving the creature or human a mere dried corpse!

The two were very similar, with an uncanny resemblance. When these seeds landed on soil, they would grow into those withered trees seen before.

Thick with death energy entwined around Ren Feng, at this moment Long Yue was trapped in mid-air. The roots on the ground and the vines in mid-air were tightly coiled around her, rendering her immobile. Meanwhile, the Copper Mirror from before was also struggling in mid-air, but no matter how hard it struggled, the outer layers of vines were tightly wrapping it!

"Ren Feng!"

Long Yue shouted, and at this moment Ren Feng felt that death energy rapidly draining his vitality, causing him immense pain, as the seemingly creeping seeds above descended towards him!

In desperation, Ren Feng took out the wine flask and took a big gulp!

As the fine wine flowed down his throat, Ren Feng's body roared with vibrations, and his Nine Yang True Qi directly expanded, forming a protective barrier around him.

The death energy clinging to his body was expelled by the terrifying Nine Yang True Qi. Ren Feng extended his right hand; the Heaven-Slaying Sword not far off let out a hum and flew into his grasp.

Ren Feng held the sword in one hand and the wine flask in the other, floating again into mid-air. Golden light flickered constantly in his eyes, flashing seven times in a brief moment!

The Seventh Yang!

He took another swig from the wine flask in his left hand. His cultivation, now comparable to the Life and Death Realm, surged once more, causing even his crimson meridian to circulate involuntarily.

The Tree Spirit King suddenly sensed something was wrong. The insignificant being before it seemed to pose a threat.

Countless vines flew downward, yet before they could approach, they were incinerated into ash by the Nine Yang flames suspended in the air!

Cockroaches and flying insects headed towards Ren Feng met the same fate; nothing could get near him.

In that moment, Ren Feng gazed at the Tree Spirit King's vertical narrow tree-eye, his face full of murderous intent.

He took another swig of wine, replacing the flask into his storage pouch. The Heaven-Slaying Sword merged with him, and a Dragon Shadow condensed around him.

In the next moment, Ren Feng seemed to transform into a terrifying sword aura. An overwhelming sword light and blazing Nine Yang flames shot directly at the Tree Spirit King!

The blinding light forced the Tree Spirit King's eye shut as it attempted another assault on Ren Feng's Soul Sea, yet even this mental attack failed to approach Ren Feng.

Ren Feng seemed like a luminous sword, engulfed by the blazing Nine Yang flames, transforming into a stream of light, and fiercely aimed for the center of the Tree Spirit King!

Crash!

Boom!

Several sounds echoed in quick succession, and in an instant, the Tree Spirit King's center appeared with a massive hole!

White flames burned over the hole, consuming it inch by inch!

Ren Feng appeared behind the Tree Spirit King, his face cold as he swung his sword towards the treetop and nearby forest!

The terrifying sword aura mixed with Nine Yang flames; in the next moment, the entire forest seemed to catch fire. The forest sealed by the Tree Spirit King was split open directly!

Ren Feng swung his sword once more, severing the vines binding Long Yue. At this moment, his internal strength was fading rapidly.

The wine flask's potency had once again dissipated.

The Tree Spirit King seemed to scream, the tree-eye in the middle of its trunk showing panic. The giant hole in its center and the burning Nine Yang flames made its treetop feel the looming threat of death.

At this time, Ren Feng directly took Long Yue and flew out through the broken forest!

In the following forest, the difficulty of escaping lessened significantly. After a grueling few hours, both Ren Feng and Long Yue broke through the forest, gazing at the sun outside, feeling utterly exhausted.

...

On the other side, Modo was observing the nearby clearing of flower clusters from the shadows.

The flowers still had the smiles of previous masters on them, with some even facing his direction, chilling him. A human face on a flower was something he had never seen, even as an Ancient Demon.

Moreover, whatever this flower cluster was using, the previous master was merely walking along its edge, only to find himself within the flowers. Was it a spiritual lure?

Modo pondered internally. If it were true, the mental lure or illusions within the flower cluster were exceedingly terrifying. Although the previous master had his cultivation sealed, his Soul Sea sealed, it did not lessen his mental fortitude, suggesting the flower cluster's illusions were beyond the Life and Death Realm or even the Saint Realm.

Realizing this, Modo couldn't help but draw a cold breath. Passing through the flower cluster seemed an impossible task.

He turned around, glancing at the forest behind him, frowning again. The forest looked like a dead-end, with eerie white mist seemingly more dangerous.

After a brief hesitation, Modo again looked towards the flower cluster. He pondered for a moment, taking out a Magical Artifact from his storage bag—the oil lamp!

Taking a deep breath, Modo began forming seals, and demon energy leaked from him. The oil lamp flew out, hovering above the flower cluster.

Modo watched the oil lamp intently. Suddenly, the lamp tilted, and the wick's flame within cascaded out like a falling sea, as an endless inferno poured forth!

The terrifying conflagration instantly engulfed part of the flower cluster and spread around!

At that moment, the flowers seemed to scream miserably, the sound unmistakably human cries, the entire cluster like tens of thousands wailing in agony, sending shivers down Modo's spine from afar.

Moreover, he suddenly felt the scenery before him change, as if something was injected into his nerves. The screams seemed to distance, and ahead, a grand hall appeared, containing something that made his heart race!

That thing glittered with light, emitting a powerful aura. Without even needing to see, Modo could affirm that it was what the Demon King sought!

Something capable of breaking through the second step's limitations!
