This Taoist Master is too Frivolous

Chapter 359: Chapter 245: Master? _2

If I were to live on this Helan Mountain for ten days or half a month, going around every day scaring ghosts and frightening those monsters, how much virtue could I earn?

Of course.

This is not the time to discuss such matters.

Xu Yang said, “I’ve come to this mountain for the treasure of Xi Xia this time. Your mountain ghost minions told me that a tree demon guards the entrance of the treasure trove. How powerful is that tree demon?”

“The cultivation level of the tree demon is comparable to mine.”

Tu Xiaoyu said, “However, my cultivation is not earned through my training, but by the transmission of skills from the incarnation of a demon immortal and taking spiritual elixir to enhance. I have yet to perfectly control my power, so in one-on-on battles, I’m not as good as the tree demon.”

“But as a tree demon, the tree demon has one fatal flaw… she can’t move.”

“Of course, her roots are very developed, and within a radius of about ten miles is her battlefield.”

Having said this, Tu Xiaoyu paused, then burst into laughter, “The place where we are now is within the domain of the tree demon… she must have heard our conversation!”

“Oh?”

Xu Yang looked ahead.

There was still cloud and fog covering the distance, making it hard to see too far.

He quietly activated his “Dharma Eye”, his eyes flashed brightly, and then he “saw” a huge elm tree in the forest about ten miles ahead.

The canopy of the elm tree was hundreds of meters in circumference. Among its green leaves were many dead trunks. The demon cloud around it was rolling in black. Within the demon cloud, the faces of ghosts struggled and roared. They were the Yin spirits and malevolent beings in the mountain, controlled by the tree demon’s magic.

Perhaps it was due to Xu Yang’s gaze.

The canopy of the gigantic elm suddenly shook, the black cloud around it twisted and turned into a huge ghost face. The ghost face quickly flew towards Xu Yang’s location, hovering high in the sky, staring coldly down, threatening, “Little beast… daring to team up with humans to deal with me… when I take form, you, a little beast, will be the first one I’ll crush to death!”

Clearly, this sentence was aimed at Tu Xiaoyu!

“Humans…”

The ghost face then sneered, and said to Xu Yang, “A mere beginner in the Divine Transcendence Realm dares to act wildly in Helan Mountain… To try to deal with me, you’re still lacking!”

“Impudent!”

Before Tu Xiaoyu could speak, the Mountain Ghost pointed at the sky with one hand on his waist, angrily saying, “Impudent old witch, how dare you insult my lady and the gentleman… If you continue, I’ll uproot you, set you on fire!”

If it were any other time, the Mountain Ghost wouldn’t dare to speak to the tree demon in such a manner.

But now, with the backing of Daoist master and his lady, what was there to fear?

“Well…okay!”

The huge ghost face sneered, “Okay, I’ll be waiting for you…”

Whoosh!

The ghost face transformed into a demon cloud and disappeared.

“Master Xu!”

Ma Sanpao interrupted, saying, “Master Xu, perhaps I should go back down the mountain first, report to Director Chen, seeing as this tree demon can’t move, and it is particularly afraid of fire, it’ll be easy to deal with… When the time comes, I’ll get dozens of fighter jets from the military area to come over, and drop a few thousand tons of bombs on the spot where the tree demon is. I believe she won’t survive that!”

“…”

A few…a few thousand tons?

Xu Yang was speechless…the Spirits Management Bureau’s habit of “delivery”, can it be passed on?

Wang Hou thinks this way, and actually Ma Sanpao has had such an idea as well.

But it goes without saying, Ma Sanpao’s idea is very useful. If they really did as he suggested, a few thousand tons may not even be necessary to bomb the tree demon to death.

Of course.

After a round of bombing, the “Xi Xia treasure” most likely would “disappear” from the world along with the tree demon.

So Xu Yang said with a smile, “Things haven’t reached that point yet… Besides, I’ve cultivated a pure Yang primordial spirit, and there’s a master whose cultivation is no less than the tree demon’s helping me, it’s not necessarily impossible to kill the tree demon!”

He took out several Daoist talisman and stuck them on the ground to form a circle.

Sitting down inside the “Daoist talisman circle”, Xu Yang said, “Madam, Tu Xiaoyu, you two protect me. I’ll go try and test the depth of the tree demon.”

With that said, he closed his eyes, and his primordial spirit left his body!

Ding!

The Thousand-year-old Thunderstruck Peachwood Sword left his body instantly, driven by his primordial spirit, it swiftly dove into the depth of the forest, turning into a sword-light in an instant. It appeared before the large elm tree!

The next moment…

Boom!

The whole Helan Mountain seemed to tremble.

On a huge Elm tree, ten miles away, black demon cloud surged on each of its branches. They interlaced and strike down, transforming into a Heavenly Net!

Pop pop pop!!!

The air crackled from the force, sword light twinkling as it clashed with the branches. Some branches got severed by the sword light and a fresh one would immediately lash out in its place.

The critical point was, Xu Yang noticed…

After his primordial spirit entered the range covered by the crown of the Elm tree, it was like stepping into a soft marsh, moving became slower.

With the battle ongoing,

More and more branches interlaced and lashed out. Even though Xu Yang had successfully cultivated the “pure Yang primordial spirit”, enhancing the power of his Daoist flying sword greatly, he couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed in this situation!

Poof!

The sword light flickered.

Three branches were severed simultaneously!

Blood spurted from the severed branches!

Yes!

The liquid flowing from the branches was not green sap, but blood!

“The defensive power of its branches is too strong… With my current Sword spirit technique, one strike could split a whole mountain, but to sever just three of its branches, I had to use fifty percent of my energy!”

Xu Yang thought to himself, and with a move of his primordial spirit, the Peachwood Sword swiftly slipped out from under the tree’s crown.

He understood…

The space enveloped by the tree’s crown was the tree demon’s “domain”.

Within it, his attacks were greatly restricted.

However, he did not retreat, instead, manifesting his primordial spirit, he hovered just outside the range of the tree crown.

The Elm tree’s swaying branches retracted.

The massive trunk undulated, and an old, ugly, wrinkled face appeared on its surface.

The face wore a cold derisive expression, and its eyes stared unblinkingly at Xu Yang’s primordial spirit. It licked its lips and said, “The body that gave birth to such a powerful primordial spirit certainly isn’t weak… Unfortunately, your physical body doesn’t dare approach me, otherwise, I would surely turn it into sustenance, merging it with me.”

Xu Yang laughed, “Are you not afraid of biting your tongue from talking so big? Tree demon, I value your hard cultivation, and don’t wish to kill you without reason… Here’s a proposition, clear a passage for me to retrieve the Xi Xia treasure, and in return, I’ll spare your life. How about it?”

“Hahaha!”

The ugly old face laughed, shaking the whole tree, “Little human… your jest is hilarious, the Xi Xia treasure is mine, if you want it, you’ll have to step over me.”

Xu Yang shook his head and sighed, “This is the first time I’ve received such a peculiar request…very well, since you’ve made the request, I will surely fulfill it.”

Whoosh!

With a thought, his sword-controlling primordial spirit returned to his body.

Xu Yang slowly opened his eyes. As he saw the questioning looks from Tu Xiaoyu and Liu Shishi, he explained, “That tree demon is indeed powerful, and it even had a domain. Inside the realm covered by her tree crown, we’d hardly gain any advantage, even if Tu Xiaoyu and I joined forces.”

“Oh?”

“Master Xu,” Ma Sanpao quickly interjected, “If that’s the case… why don’t we just bombard it first?”

Xu Yang: “…”

Ignoring Ma Sanpao, he continued, “That’s why we must tackle her from a distance… I have a plan that can take out this tree demon.”

Xu Yang strode forward into the forest and stopped 300 meters away from the range of the tree demon’s crown.

With a flip of his hand, a Wulei Talisman flew out.

Boom!

In an instant, thunder clouds rolled in the sky, and thunderbolts bombarded from above!

PS: The child was discharged from the hospital this afternoon, but after coming home, she had another fever. After taking some antipyretic, she recovered and just went to sleep. It’s already a new month tomorrow, and it’s the perfect time to resume updates. Say no more. If I can’t write up to ten thousand words tomorrow, I’ll castrate myself and cook my balls!
