Chapter 372 The Controller
The black flames, like the Grim Reaper, swept rapidly toward Wen Hetu and his companion, causing the latter's expression to change drastically.
They knew that if they were to be touched by this black flame, they would be instantly annihilated. They gritted their teeth and activated their talents, but just as they were about to get close to the opponent, the black flame vanished instantly. This caused Ling Guan's pupils to shrink sharply, and then he abruptly turned his head to look in Ye Ru's direction.
At this moment, Ye Ru was looking at Ling Guan with a smile on his face, and beside him was the Sacred Ancient Tree.
However, this sacred ancient tree no longer possessed any evil aura; instead, it was in a state of purity and light.
"You actually expelled all the toxins? That's impossible! This was a carefully crafted poison; it's absolutely impossible for an ordinary person to expel it!"
Upon seeing the ancient sacred tree, Ling Guan's face darkened, and he exclaimed in disbelief.
I originally thought the opponent was just a novice scholar who couldn't cause any trouble, but now it seems that the opponent is the key to deciding the outcome.
"A single medical book cannot neutralize the toxins of this sacred ancient tree, but what if we use other methods?"
Ye Ru smiled slightly, waved his hand, and a sacred page appeared in his palm.
Although this holy page has a purple hue, two-thirds of it is completely stained with black.
These black spots are the toxins within the ancient sacred tree.
"You actually have such a sacred page?"
Upon seeing the purple sacred page, Ling Guan was shocked. This sacred page was a remnant of the original recording of the Analects. Even he had only seen it before but had never actually held it.
"Phew, I'm so lucky. I was just a little bit away from being completely destroyed."
Wen Hetu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the ancient sacred tree flourishing once more.
"Yes, without the blessing of the Holy Dao power in the Ancient Tree of the Holy Dao, Ling Guan's talent might only be at the level of a Grand Scholar, or even worse under its backlash."
The seven-colored deer nodded, its words no longer carrying the heaviness of before.
"Evil cannot prevail over good. No matter how hard you try, you can't completely control this sacred path. This ancient sacred tree is no longer under your control. Therefore, you should go to the underworld and apologize to those demons."
Ye Ru raised his palm towards Ling Guan in the distance, and then suddenly clenched it.
As the former grasped it, a wave of energy emanated from the surface of the Sacred Tree. This energy spread outwards and eventually entered Ling Guan's body, severing the connection between the ancient tree and Ling Guan.
Feeling the gradual loss of his inner energy, Ling Guan's face turned deathly pale in an instant.
He knew that without the constant supply of talent from the Sacred Ancient Tree, he would probably be reduced to ashes in no time.
"Let's do it."
Wen Hetu and the Seven-Colored Deer exchanged a glance, both seeing intense killing intent in each other's eyes. They then locked onto Ling Guan, tapped their feet, and burst forth.
Ye Ru did not make a move, but simply watched the three fight from the sidelines. He knew that without the Sacred Ancient Tree, Ling Guan was just a tiger with its teeth pulled, and was not a threat at all. The two of them were enough to defeat him.
Then he turned his head and glanced at the Sacred Ancient Tree, whose thick branches kept touching him, as if it were thanking Ye Ru.
"Without the power of the Sacred Ancient Tree, you can't even unleash seventy or eighty percent of your talent."
Ye Ru smiled slightly, then sneered.
"Alright, then let's all perish together!"
Seeing that the Sacred Ancient Tree had also been taken away, Ling Guan's expression quickly became much more ferocious. The next moment, he stomped his foot, and the overwhelming black flames around him suddenly surged.
These black flames were much stronger than the previous ones, but their staying power was much weaker. Clearly, without the support of the Sacred Ancient Tree, the opponent could only use these black flames once. If these black flames could not kill Wen Hetu, then he would only die and perish.
"Stop him!"
A solemn expression appeared on Wen Hetu's face. He then looked at the former and said in a deep voice to the Seven-Colored Deer.
"it is good!"
The seven-colored deer nodded, its body constantly releasing seven-colored light, like a rainbow. In just an instant, the seven-colored light burst forth and transformed into a protective shield, enveloping all three of them.
"Your weak defense is useless against the attack of the demon race's black flames."
Ling Guan's ferocious smile deepened. He then stretched out his palm and pointed at the seven-colored protective shield from afar, finally clenching his fist tightly.
boom!
As soon as he grasped his hand, the black flames instantly transformed into countless sharp black spikes, which then pierced through the void and, carrying a powerful force, fiercely blasted towards the seven-colored protective shield.
These sharp spikes, like a torrential downpour, created a series of dull, rumbling sounds.
"Without the Sacred Ancient Tree, how can these black flames still be so powerful? If this continues, I won't be able to stay here at all, and it will definitely break down."
The seven-colored deer looked at the endless stream of black flames, its face turning extremely ugly. Then it turned its head and shouted in a deep voice.
"Haha, so what if the Sacred Tree is gone? You'll still die anyway! This Sacred Path will be under my control from now on!"
Seeing the extremely unpleasant expressions on everyone's faces, Ling Guan suddenly burst into laughter.
The black flames continued to crash into the seven-colored protective shield. With a cracking sound, a few cracks appeared in the shield, which made the faces of the Seven-Colored Deer and Wen Hetu even more grim.
"Oh no, it's about to break! Brother Wen, you take Ye Ru and run first. You must protect the Sacred Ancient Tree and not let it fall into this person's hands. I'll stay here and cover the rear."
The Seven-Colored Deer took a deep breath, then looked at the arrogant Ling Guan, as if it had made up its mind, and then slowly said.
"No, I might have a solution."
At this moment, Ye Ru took a small step forward, and the Sacred Ancient Tree also came to Ye Ru's side at this time.
These words drew their attention to Ye Ru, who closed his eyes, and the ancient sacred tree began to sway slowly, eventually shooting out countless branches that enveloped the three of them like a cocoon.
"This is?"
As the branches gradually formed a cocoon, both the Seven-Colored Deer and Wen Hetu were filled with shock: "You actually controlled the Sacred Ancient Tree?"
"But it's not entirely that he controls the Sacred Tree; he's just more friendly towards me."
Ye Ru stroked the ancient sacred tree, then shook his head, seemingly unconvinced.
