Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1077 Broken Star River

"boom!"

Thunder and sea flames intertwined and descended.

The blue flames did not have a scorching effect, but they carried an endless chill. With the lightning intertwined, it was like a world of ice and fire!

As the blade slashed down, one of its roots was instantly severed. At the severed spot, lightning scorched it black, and the Sea Heart Flame sealed off the terrifying life force within its body!

"Ah!"

The giant humanoid tree seemed to feel pain; it suddenly turned around, and its head, formed from its branches, let out a roar.

"call out!"

"call out!"

"call out!"

In the next instant, countless branches on its body rushed straight towards Ye Qing. These branches were endless, and each branch transformed into countless sharp blades, surging towards Ye Qing in a mighty torrent.

"Fuck!"

Ye Qing was shocked and quickly retreated.

At the same time, thirteen throwing knives and sword energy roared out!

To his surprise, his throwing knives were unable to cut through the tree trunks, which seemed incredibly hard.

In an instant, a series of clanging and banging sounds rang out, as if countless weapons were clashing, sparks flying everywhere.

"This!" Ye Qing gasped, "It seems that apart from my main body exerting all its strength to sever one of its roots, it will be difficult to use throwing knives to... get rid of this thing!"

However, the moment he finished speaking, those spikes had already charged at him!

Ye Qing treads on the clouds, his body swaying erratically. Relying on the Cloud-Treading Movement Technique, its enhanced characteristics, and the high mobility brought by his powerful physical body, he constantly dodges!

However, Ye Qing also discovered a problem at this moment!

That is, when the tree-man focused its attention on Ye Qing, Ye Qing... was unable to launch an attack.

Just like when he faced Chen Sixue back then!

Without a doubt, the fighting power of this tree-man in front of them is not much different from that of Chen Sixue. Moreover, compared to Chen Sixue, this strange thing has no emotions, it does not have the capacity for death, and it only has the instinct to kill!

This is the most difficult part.

"This is going to be a bit troublesome to deal with!" Ye Qing thought to himself as he dodged.

“Ultimately, it’s a mindless thing!” Ye Qing frowned. “Logically speaking, it should be easier to deal with than Chen Sixue. If we use the Fearless Blade, we should have a chance, but it has too many roots. It’s not suitable to sever all of its roots with one strike!”

“No!” Ye Qing said thoughtfully, “The key to killing this thing is to destroy its inner world. Domain Lord level experts have domains and inner worlds. It’s impossible that all of their inner worlds are in their roots. In other words, as long as we find the location of this tree-man’s dantian and destroy that place, that will be enough!”

At this point, he fully unleashed his mental power!

However, this tree-man is ultimately just a plant, completely different from the dantian of the human body.

"Hmm!" Just as Ye Qing was dodging and searching, he suddenly discovered that the root he had cut off was actually breaking through and growing back.

"Damn, this strange thing is really scary!" Ye Qing said in shock.

This vitality is a bit too strong.

He dodged quickly, but the opponent's attacks were relentless, and no matter how he tried to dodge, they could always catch up.

"Damn it, is this some kind of training? I feel like if I keep practicing like this, it won't be long before my Cloud-Stepping Technique reaches the Great Perfection level," Ye Qing said with a wry smile.

He moved swiftly, simultaneously manipulating throwing knives, sky shuttles, and countless magician cards with his mental power, all intertwining in the air, while his sword intent surged continuously!

Some branches could still be cut, but the vast majority were like steel, sparking as they collided.

……

On the other side, Honglian gathered a group of people. As a peak immortal and a high priest, she had enough influence. Under her guidance, she organized dozens of extraordinary experts to hunt down some pollutants below the immortal level!

Before long, she noticed the terrifying commotion in the distance. She gasped, and then her expression changed slightly as she said, "Oh right, I forgot to tell Ye Qing the key to killing that treant."

"I need to go check it out. It'll also be a good opportunity to confirm whether he really has the combat power of a Domain Lord." Honglian pondered for a moment, then gave a few instructions to someone before quickly rushing towards Ye Qing's location.

……

On the other side, Ye Qing was completely on the defensive, but he was not in a hurry. While the two sides were fighting, he was calmly thinking.

Mind reading and mental strength were useless against this tree-man, which weakened Ye Qing's combat power to some extent. Fortunately, the extremely yang and powerful lightning also had a suppressive effect on the pollutants.

Although Ye Qing gradually sustained some injuries, they were all minor abrasions and not fatal!

"This is the only way!" Ye Qing said thoughtfully. "Find its weakness, and then use the Fearless Strike directly. If that doesn't work, we'll have to find a way to dodge first and see if we can use the remaining Blood Bodhi to break through to the Domain Lord level."

He didn't want to just swallow the Blood Bodhi seed; swallowing it directly would be a waste of its medicinal properties.

These few Blood Bodhi seeds are of great use to him. If he can refine them into Bodhi Pills to fully utilize the medicinal effects of the Blood Bodhi seeds, the best outcome for Ye Qing would be.

Feeling the branches constantly impacting him, Ye Qing suddenly moved, snapped his fingers, and instantly appeared above the tree-man's head.

He closed his eyes, and the image of Chen Sixue's sword strike from back then flashed through his mind.

Broken Star River!

"call out!"

"call out!"

"call out!"

All around, countless tree branches, upon spotting Ye Qing, rapidly converged upon him, some transforming into sharp thorns, others into palms, all reaching out to grab him.

At the same time, one sword intent after another appeared in the sky, transforming into countless longswords that appeared out of thin air!

"The consumption of sword intent and true energy is a bit high!" Ye Qing thought to himself, "Although it's not the real Broken Star River, whether I can find your weakness depends on this sword strike!"

"Broken Star River!" Ye Qing roared.

In the air, the endless sword intent instantly ignited with thunder and flames.

The next instant, a rain of purple and blue swords crashed down on the treant below.
