Qingwan's Crisis
"You actually killed him?" Forest Venerable said coldly as he looked at Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi didn't say anything and only gripped the Spirit Convergence Needle tightly. He didn't want to waste any more time talking to Forest Venerable.
"Hmph. It's good that he's dead. He's a cripple. He doesn't deserve to be the leader," Forest Venerable said with a cold laugh.
"You have to die as well!" Xiao Yi's eyes were red. Word by word, he said in a hoarse voice.
"Haha, is that so? Let's see if you have the ability to do so!" Forest Venerable laughed, not taking Xiao Yi too seriously.
However, in the next second, he and Xiao Yi moved at the same time.
The emerald green shield around Forest Venerable's body shot out countless vines. The vines quickly stirred together and instantly formed a giant wood that wasn't shorter than Xiao Yi's Spirit Gathering Needles.
His emerald shield was able to move as he wished, allowing him to change his attack form at will.
With an earth-shattering explosion, Xiao Yi's Spirit Convergence Needle collided with Forest Venerable's giant wood.
The Dark Medical Sect shook violently. Under this collision, heaven and earth changed color. The clouds that were originally floating in the air were shaken and scattered.
The essence of the sunflower water and the pure spiritual energy of the wood were scattered all over the sky.
Under this blow, Xiao Yi and Forest Venerable were evenly matched.
Ouyang Shi and the three spiritual beasts that he had brought with him saw this scene from the corner of their eyes and felt a deep sense of joy in their hearts.
Forest Venerable's cultivation was clearly stronger than Xiao Yi's, who had just entered the Apotheosis Realm. However, Xiao Yi wasn't disadvantaged in the face of this attack. How could everyone not be encouraged?
However, in the next moment, the well-informed elder, Ouyang Shi, felt a shock in his heart and cried out loudly, "Not good!"
This was because the essences on Xiao Yi's Spirit Convergence Needle had been completely absorbed by Forest Venerable's giant wood in the span of a breath.
After absorbing the essence of the sunflower water, the giant wood became even more verdant, solid, and overbearing.
"Haha, you idiot, how can you still be a Hua Country person? Don't you understand the principle of water helping wood? To me, the essence of the Sunflower Water is just a supplement to my Yi Wood Cultivation, hahaha!" Forest Venerable laughed out loud in a self-satisfied manner.
Laughter had yet to end when Forest Venerable maneuvered the even more verdant giant wood, bringing with it the pressure as he once again violently smashed toward Xiao Yi.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Three explosions sounded out.
However, after each explosive sound, the essence of the sunflower water on the Spirit Convergence Needle was absorbed more by the giant wood.
At first, Xiao Yi was not inferior at all. But now, he was obviously at a disadvantage.
Xiao Yi hadn't thought that Forest Venerable's Yi Wood Cultivation would be so strange as to be able to absorb the essence of the water. From the looks of it, the Spirit Convergence Needle couldn't be used anymore.
Xiao Yi's expression didn't change at all, and he didn't waste any more time talking to Forest Venerable. With a shake of his hand, he collected the Spirit Convergence Needle.
Then, he tore the void apart and hid in it.
In the next second, seven Sky-ghosts gathered in front of Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi sat cross-legged on the ground and did not hesitate to leave his body. He divided his Nascent Soul Realm into seven small Nascent Souls. His spirit light was hidden in the bodies of the seven Sky-ghost.
With a thought, the Seven Star Sky-ghost Sword Formation suddenly attacked.
"The Sky-ghost Sword Formation again? Humph, aren't you going to give up?" Forest Venerable, who was inside the emerald green shield, snorted coldly when he saw the Seven Stars Sky-ghost Sword Formation shooting out once again. The shrieking cries of agony from the Sky-ghosts reverberated in his mind. His emerald green shield spun rapidly again, and countless vines shot out, attacking the seven Sky-ghosts immediately.
This time, the vines did not lean against the force. Instead, they wrapped themselves around the vines. They were going to capture the seven Sky-ghosts alive.
Forest Venerable's Yi Wood cultivation was extraordinary, and his appetite was great as well.
However, who would have imagined that just as the enormous body of the Sky-ghosts appeared on top of the emerald vines, a white light flashed out of the Sky-ghosts' body, and seven Nascent Souls appeared?
Then, the seven crimson flames, with endless heat, suddenly burst into flames.
The wooden vines lit up the fire in an instant, and rapidly shrunk. Moreover, they seemed to be psychic and made a squeaking screech, which looked extremely strange.
"Ah! The Samei True Flame!" Forest Venerable was also shocked. Never would he have thought that Xiao Yi's Nascent Soul Realm would be imbued with Samei True Flame.
The emerald vines were quickly charred and pulled back. A moment later, the light on the shield dimmed and dissipated completely. Forest Venerable's figure was completely exposed.
Xiao Yi's group of Nascent Souls swiftly disappeared into the void. Without wasting a moment, they returned to his physical body.
In the next second, the void flashed, and Xiao Yi's figure appeared again with the Spirit Convergence Needle in his hands.
He smashed hard towards Forest Venerable with a fierce expression on his face.
"Bang!" There was a loud bang. Forest Venerable had actually been smashed right on his head.
Without even making a scream, his figure continued to fall down the mountain below.
This time, not only were Ouyang Shi and the others who were secretly watching the battle shocked, even Xiao Yi himself was shocked. He didn't think that the cunning Forest Venerable would be so easily struck and fall.
However, no matter what, the opportunity could not be lost. Xiao Yi naturally would take advantage of this opportunity to kill VForest Venerable. He tore through the air, lifted up the Spirit Convergence Needle, and immediately chased down.
However, he chased the dense Wood Spiritual Energy that was hidden within Forest Venerable's body all the way to a part of the forest below. Xiao Yi was shocked to discover that the thing that had fallen to the ground was only the body of a wood spirit puppet.
At the most critical moment, Forest Venerable used the body of a refined Wood Spirit Puppet. At this moment, the real Forest Venerable was nowhere to be found.
Xiao Yi's heart trembled when he realized this point. He glanced at this endless, lush, and lush forest before quietly crying out, "Not good."
He flew up rapidly to the sky, trying to get out of the forest as soon as possible.
Who would have thought that Forest Venerable was already laughing coldly in the air.
In the next second, the entire forest seemed to come alive. Countless giant trees, from the sky to the ground, attacked Xiao Yi from all directions. They brought a fierce attack and also blocked Xiao Yi's escape route into the void.
"Brat, you broke my Yi Wood Spiritual Shield. You deserve to die! Stinking brat, I'm not like Mountain Venerable. As long as there is wood spirit energy, I can play with you to death!" Forest Venerable's voice was filled with endless hatred and cruelty.
In a breath's time, the countless giant trees came to Xiao Yi, and the air was compressed to burst out a burst of noise.
Everything around Xiao Yi was crushed by the strong pressure in an instant, flying in all directions.
A cruel smile appeared on Forest Venerable's face. It was as if he had seen the moment when Xiao Yi was heavily injured.
However, the next second, a soft light flashed around Xiao Yi's body, and an inconspicuous lotus flower appeared on the top of his head.
As a thin beam of Buddha's light was cast, a lotus shield was formed in an instant.
Countless huge trees that could crack mountains and stones crashed into the lotus shield.
The Light of Buddha seemed to be elastic and counteracted the toughness with softness. Eventually, it blocked all the giant trees and protected Xiao Yi.
However, under the full blow of this Apotheosis Realm expert, the indestructible lotus shield also began to make a muffled sound, as if it could not hold on any longer.
This Chequ Lotus Shield was a part of the Buddhism Divine Tool. How could Xiao Yi let it damage it?
After the attack was over, Xiao Yi immediately put away his shield and rushed up into the sky.
"You think you can run?" Forest Venerable let out a cold snort. With a swing of his arms, countless vines rose from the ground and rapidly wrapped themselves around Xiao Yi's feet.
A great force came from the vines, trying to pull Xiao Yi back into the forest.
At this critical moment, he suddenly heard a child's crisp cry, "Master, I'm here to help you!"
Red light flashed in the sky as the spiritual beast Gu Lu descended from the sky with rumbling sounds.
As soon as it opened its mouth, Doomsday Sword suddenly appeared under Xiao Yi's feet with a bright sword light and then slammed down on him.
The emerald vines, under the strong sword intent and Nanming Ignis, broke and withered inch by inch.
Xiao Yi heaved a huge sigh of relief when he saw Gu Lu!
With an awe-inspiring Gu Lu, the Doomsday Sword flew straight toward Forest Venerable. With the activation of the Nanming Ignis, the entire forest was about to be set on fire.
"Don't. There are countless creatures in this forest. The Heaven Catastrophe will be serious if you burn them to death!" Xiao Yi hurriedly shouted.
Gu Lu was naturally obedient to Xiao Yi. It immediately put away the flames and continued to engage in combat with Forest Venerable.
Forest Venerable's Yi Wood Cultivation was unable to do anything in the face of the fire-filled Flying Snake.
Xiao Yi was in high spirits and was about to join the battle.
However, at this moment, Xiao Yi's heart was completely empty!
The mark that belonged to Mu Qingwan in his Divine Awareness had actually completely vanished!
"Qingwan!" Xiao Yi cried out in pain. He staggered and broke out in cold sweat all over his body.
This mark of Divine Awareness, which belonged to Mu Qingwan, was naturally produced when they took the Commensalism Pill.
From that moment on, the two of them had gone through life and death together!
Although Xiao Yi often said this, the most accurate explanation was that if Xiao Yi were a big tree, Mu Qingwan would be the vine attached to the tree. The big tree would lean, and the vines would not be left.
However, the passing of the vines would not affect the survival of the big tree.
The two of them were associated with each other. Xiao Yi was the main subject, and Mu Qingwan was a guest.
However, whether it was the subject or the object, Xiao Yi had already had the heart to share life and death with Mu Qingwan. If Mu Qingwan's cultivation did not reach a certain level, Xiao Yi could never ascend alone.
Right at this moment, that strand of Divine Awareness brand belonging to Mu Qingwan had vanished!
How could Xiao Yi not know what this meant?
"Qingwan!" Xiao Yi cried out in pain, weeping blood. He seemed to have gone mad as he rushed toward the mountain gate.
However, the corners of Forest Venerable's mouth curled into a sinister smile. With a shake of his body, a green light shot toward Xiao Yi. A moment later, it appeared before Xiao Yi and blocked his way.
