Chapter 71: A Vicious Transformation

“Mom is so amazing…” that voice cried out.

Su Tang had no time to pay attention and continued to hunt his targets one by one. Most of those people were Battle Fighters; if they had fought a fair duel on a plain, Su Tang could not have beaten any of them. However, here he was like a fish in water, while those people struggled to move.

“Are you stupid? Just let them cut you like that? Lie down, lay all your roots flat, and pretend you have no strength left. Yes, yes, wait until he steps on you, then wrap around him immediately!”

“Wrapping around the body is useless. Choke his neck, use your maximum strength…”

“Stab his butt! You idiot, I didn’t tell you to stab his butt cheeks, blow up his anus directly!”

“Mom, what is an anus?”

The remaining Martial Artists were made to look miserable. Before Su Tang and the others arrived, they had been entangled with the Tree of Destiny for a while and had grown used to its instinctive way of resisting. Who would have known that in the blink of an eye, the style of the Tree of Destiny would change.

The dancing roots slowly softened and fell, leaving a path. One could even see the main trunk of the Tree of Destiny emitting a halo. The Martial Artist was overjoyed, thinking the power of the Tree of Destiny had been exhausted. He stepped forward and rushed, but the fallen roots suddenly came alive, and he was surrounded.

Roots suddenly drilled out from the ground, wrapping around their feet and legs. This was not too terrifying, but when dozens of roots merged into one and shot upward from between their feet with a whistle, even those who dodged in time felt a chill run through their bodies. If they had been stabbed…

If the Tree of Destiny were a person, then their opponent had definitely changed. This new opponent knew how to fake death, gouge out eyes, stab nostrils, pierce ears, strangle necks, and poke anuses, always attacking the most fragile parts of the body, making them unable to defend themselves. Combined with Su Tang taking advantage of the chaos, the situation was completely reversed.

By the time they felt something was wrong and tried to move away from the Tree of Destiny, only two people were left. They ran far away and looked back, just in time to see a companion hanging in mid-air. Several roots had already pierced into the person’s ear holes, and more roots were trying to squeeze inside. His neck was strangled tightly, making his face turn bright red, and his eyes had long since bled from being stabbed. Below him, several thick roots were stabbing him repeatedly. Fortunately, the man wore a full set of soft armor, which barely protected his butt. It was also because the Tree of Destiny had just been enlightened and did not know how to be flexible; if it had crawled in through the pant leg, it probably would have succeeded long ago.

How could the Tree of Destiny become so vicious and shameless?! The remaining two Martial Artists looked at each other. The young man had been fighting the whole time and had seen more tragic scenes, so he was already shaking with fear.

The battle between Xi Xiaoru and the old man continued. In a short time, Xi Xiaoru had been knocked down and sent flying more than ten times. However, she possessed extremely powerful combat instincts. At the most dangerous moments, she could always use the power of the Heavenly Fiend Blade to protect her vital parts, leaving the old man frustrated.

As the saying goes, a newborn calf does not fear the tiger, and naturally, the tiger does not fear the calf. However, if that calf could still launch a charge energetically after being knocked down ten times, it would be the tiger’s turn to have a headache.

That was exactly the case for the old man. He had not held back, but even using his full strength, he could not quickly defeat Xi Xiaoru. He looked down and saw that the Martial Artists were almost all dead, while Su Tang stood among countless roots, looking this way with a mocking expression. He became furious. After sending Xi Xiaoru flying once more, he suddenly turned, and three Flying Swords shot toward Su Tang in a triangular formation.

Su Tang was greatly shocked. He knew his own limits and knew exactly how strong he was, so he had never thought about participating in the battle on Xi Xiaoru’s side. Who knew the old man would suddenly turn his target toward him!

The Tree of Destiny reacted quickly, immediately using countless roots to block in front of Su Tang. However, compared to the sword light controlled by a Grandmaster, the roots were still too fragile.

Pieces of roots were shredded. Then, the sword light hit Su Tang and carried him twenty meters away, pinning Su Tang onto the Tree of Destiny.

“Mom…” that voice screamed.

Su Tang slowly lowered his head and looked at the still-trembling sword tip, while the old man let out a cold laugh. That a junior like an ant dared to interfere with his actions was simply seeking death.

However, the old man did not know what kind of person Su Tang was. Even if he had to die and go to hell, he would drag his enemy down with him!

Su Tang grinned. As expected… he had laughed too early. However, why was his vitality not weakening, but instead becoming more and more vigorous?

At this moment, Xi Xiaoru leaped into the air again. The Heavenly Fiend Blade silently swept toward the old man. Just as the old man wanted to control the sword light, Su Tang suddenly reached out with both hands and gripped the hilts of two Flying Swords tightly. The Tree of Destiny seemed to sense Su Tang’s thoughts; all the roots shrank toward the trunk, tightly wrapping the remaining Flying Sword and Su Tang’s body inside.

“Haha… ha…” Su Tang let out intermittent laughter. Aren’t you a Grandmaster? Aren’t you able to control five Flying Swords at once? I’ve already broken three of your Flying Swords; let’s see how you play now?!

The old man already felt something was wrong, but Xi Xiaoru’s momentum was too fast. He could only temporarily use two beams of sword light to meet the Heavenly Fiend Blade.

Boom… two Flying Swords spun and flew high into the sky. The old man’s face turned pale, while Xi Xiaoru acted as if nothing had happened and immediately launched a second attack.

The old man quickly drifted backward. Relying only on two Flying Swords, he could not clash head-on with the Heavenly Fiend Blade.

Countless cracks appeared on the main trunk of the Tree of Destiny. Drops of golden liquid flowed from the cracks and gathered toward Su Tang’s body. Su Tang did not notice it; he only knew that after being injured, his vitality had been surging. He wanted to shout and scream; he had infinite energy he wanted to release.

A violent tremor occurred in Su Tang’s brain. Then, a third halo appeared, though it was empty inside.

“Is that… the Source of Life?!” The old man discovered the radiance emitted by the Tree of Destiny.

Xi Xiaoru’s answer was clean and concise; she leaped and struck with her blade again.

“Let’s stop fighting first!” the old man roared, “That is the Source of Life, the Source of Life!!!”

Xi Xiaoru leaped once more.

“Can’t you damn well hear me?!” The old man was now exasperated, “We can just split it equally, right? Split it!”

Xi Xiaoru landed on the ground and coldly raised the Heavenly Fiend Blade, shooting toward the old man.

“Fine, fine, I only want two drops, you can have the rest!” the old man shouted, “Stop fighting, the Source of Life will disappear soon!”

Xi Xiaoru leaped again. Releasing her Demonic Breath, she cared about nothing and only wanted to see blood and see the enemy die.
