I'm a villain in the movies and TV series "All Heavens".

Chapter 352 Nie Xiaoqian

"It's always the same trick, can't you come up with something new, you old hag!"

After complaining that the Tree Demon Granny's attack was outdated, Yan Chixia immediately drew the Dao Sword from his back and flew into the air, cleaving through the countless tree roots with a powerful strike.

As soon as the sword struck down, it unleashed a sharp sword aura several meters long, instantly severing the countless tree roots that the tree demon was thrusting at it.

"Good heavens, this sword strike is probably no less powerful than the flying slash of a great swordsman in the One Piece world."

However, the Tree Demon Granny, who was able to trap a group of people for so long, must have been more powerful than what she had shown so far.

Yan Chixia's strike not only failed to repel the tree demon and her gang, but it also seemed to stir up a hornet's nest, causing even denser tree roots to emerge from the clouds.

Furthermore, among these tree roots, there were some that were significantly brighter red and much larger.

These individuals were not only more robust, but also extremely intelligent. Each strike was as cunning and ruthless as a viper's hiss, and the combined force of several of them left Yan Chixia flustered and unable to defend himself.

"Wow, this is really powerful? Kumārajīva, you two take care of these two a little while I go test the quality of this tree demon."

After observing for a while, Mo Fei saw more and more tree roots emerging from the clouds and mist. Knowing the principle that if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold, he immediately took out two silver-white alloy longswords from his spatial ring and bravely rushed into the center of the sky full of tree roots.

"Ten Directions in Chaotic Dance!"

With the added power and speed, even the most ordinary sword technique becomes a deadly killing move in Mo Fei's hands.

His killing move, created by combining multiple martial arts techniques, is naturally even more terrifying and powerful.

Wherever the orange blade flashed, both ordinary tree roots and bright red reinforced tree roots were instantly sliced ​​through without the slightest pause.

Within a radius of several tens of meters, a hollow area was instantly formed, and all the tree roots were cut into tiny fragments by the blade's light the moment they fell.

"Die! Control the crane and capture the dragon!"

While observing the battle, he had already detected many auras in the clouds and mist. These auras varied in strength, but most of them appeared extremely gloomy and lifeless, clearly indicating that they were no longer living beings.

When the hands were outstretched, the Dark-Dark Fruit's 'Dark Acupoint' combined with the mental force field and the powerful suction of the Crane Control Dragon Capture technique instantly drew out dozens of figures of varying strength from the dense clouds.

Under the fierce blade light that danced wildly in all directions, they were all instantly cut into pieces without any power to resist.

"What an impressive kid! Where did you find this helper, Yan Chixia?"

Perhaps sensing how troublesome Mo Fei was, most of the tree roots that had just been ganging up on Yan Chixia immediately split off and surged toward Mo Fei.

And it is unknown what methods the other party used, but each tree root was covered with a thick layer of dark light.

With this layer of dark light blocking the way, even with Mo Fei's wild and chaotic movements, coupled with the sharpness of the Edelman Blade, he found it somewhat difficult to cut through.

"Old monster, you're so narrow-minded. You're unaware that heroes emerge in this world. This young brother is a leading figure in the cultivation world today, and he's about to make a name for himself by taking your dog's head..."

"Damn it... I've stirred up so much hatred!"

"He who eats another's food is bound to do so," and Yan Chixia, a seasoned critic who had been treated to a feast by Mo Fei, was extremely enthusiastic in praising Mo Fei.

After his flattery, he had become a true disciple of a reclusive sect who had come out of seclusion to gain experience, possessing not only numerous magical treasures but also earth-shattering and awe-inspiring ultimate killing move.

Let alone the Tree Demon Granny, even he would have believed Yan Chixia's nonsense if Yan Chixia hadn't been praising himself.

"However, it must be said that Yan Chixia might actually possess all of what he described!"

Just as Mo Fei had managed to advance another few dozen meters with great difficulty, braving the endless dark tree roots, he finally gave up on this thankless task, seeing that the number of tree roots showed no signs of decreasing.

"100,000 Volts, Thunderous Purgatory!"

When he activated the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and the Lightning Scripture together, a massive amount of thunderous power suddenly erupted from his body.

He himself instantly transformed into a colossal thunder giant nearly a hundred meters tall. Driven by him, countless lightning snakes bombarded the target locations in his sea of ​​consciousness, causing heavy casualties to the lonely ghosts, demons, and monsters hiding in the clouds.

"Holy crap, this is like a god descending to earth!"

"Has our boss become this strong already??"

"Alas, the person I so desperately wanted to surpass has already become so powerful. It seems my efforts are still insufficient!"

Could it be that this move is not only extremely lethal, but also has an outrageously arrogant visual effect?

Yan Chixia, Shi Fang, and the others watching from the sidelines felt an urge to bow down and worship the giant thunder god that was nearly a hundred meters tall.

"Who exactly are you, a true immortal descending from the mountain? With such strength, why pretend to be a junior cultivator here? I am an old friend of Lord Black Mountain of Fengdu City, and we are even planning to form a marriage alliance recently. Does the true immortal really intend to fight me to the death?"

"Lord Black Mountain? You mean the Black Mountain Demon? I have no grudge against you, I only came here to save my subordinates. But I heard that after a tree demon has been a spirit for a thousand years, it will cultivate a thousand-year-old tree heart, which is extremely beneficial to cultivation. Since I have encountered it, how can I let it go?"

"Don't you have two tree spirits? I only need one tree heart this time. If you spare one for me, we won't hold it against you for injuring my subordinate."

The fact that the thousand-year-old tree demon possessed a tree heart was something Yan Chixia had told Mo Fei during their meal earlier.

Legend has it that after consuming the heart of a thousand-year-old tree, one can instantly gain hundreds of years' worth of internal energy simply by refining and absorbing it; for women, it grants eternal youth and longevity. Since I've come to this world, and thieves never leave empty-handed, there's no reason I wouldn't try to gain something.

"Arrogant...! You only know a few lightning techniques, yet you dare to speak so arrogantly. Let us see just how capable you really are."

The tree heart is the source of the tree spirit's power, and it is usually located in the central trunk of the tree spirit. The only way to take it out is to split the trunk in the middle, which is tantamount to taking the tree spirit's life in a roundabout way.

Although the two tree spirits were wary of Mo Fei's lightning magic, they did not feel that they were powerless to resist. Before they were in dire straits, they would not do the foolish thing of cutting off their own arms and killing each other.

"It seems we can't reach an agreement. Anyway, I only want one tree heart. This request will remain valid until I defeat you all, so you'd better seize the opportunity."

He had heard Yan Chixia mention that the two tree demons had only recently come together, and he still vividly remembered the storm they had unleashed when they first descended.

The reason for making such a request is naturally to achieve the goal of dividing and attacking the enemy.

As the saying goes, problems that cannot be solved through negotiation must ultimately be resolved by force.

So as soon as the negotiations broke down, Mo Fei immediately conjured up bolts of lightning and began to target and eliminate those he sensed within Lanruo Temple.

The reason why Yan Chixia and the others were trapped in Lanruo Temple was because the two tree demons had set up the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade Formation.

Logically, such a large formation wouldn't be very effective during the day. However, the two thousand-year-old tree demons used their enormous canopies to completely cover the Lanruo Temple, preventing any sunlight from penetrating the temple while ensuring that the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade Formation was always at its most powerful.

Mo Fei's goal was to eliminate the minor demons and monsters who were assisting in setting up the formation, so that the formation would collapse on its own.

……

While Mo Fei was relentlessly piercing and killing the demons and monsters in the clouds with his lightning spear, the two tree spirits were also discussing countermeasures with solemn expressions in the formation.

"This kid is too troublesome; the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade Formation alone probably won't be able to hold him for long. Why don't we take this opportunity to move away?"

"Relocate? Do you know how much energy our tree monsters lose when they relocate? Besides, I, Granny Lanruo Temple, have built up this foundation over so many years, and you're just going to throw it away like that?"

"What should we do then? We're afraid we'll lose more often than we win against him!"

"Let's hire someone. Didn't Heishan say he was going to get married a few days ago? Let's marry Xiaoqian to him and get him to help us suppress this kid."

"Then hurry up and send the message...!"

……

The formations in this demon world are indeed strange and bizarre. Even though Mo Fei used his lightning spear to kill countless demons and ghosts, apart from the formation becoming a little thinner, the way out of Lanruo Temple was still nowhere to be found.

At this moment, Lanruo Temple is like being trapped in another small world. Outside is an endless sea of ​​clouds. Once you step out of this small world, you will quickly get lost in the endless sea of ​​clouds.

Sensing the difficulty Mo Fei presented, the two tree spirits ceased their futile attacks. Instead, while fending off Mo Fei's attacks, they began to continuously replace the array bases that had been destroyed by the lightning spears.

After the two sides had been locked in a standoff for half a day, Mo Fei, feeling somewhat bored, turned to Yan Chixia, who was resting nearby, for advice.

"Brother Yan, these two tree demons are hiding like cowards, refusing to fight me. What should we do?" Mo Fei's displayed strength earned Yan Chixia's respect. After exchanging words, at Duan Lang's suggestion, they finally changed their address to brothers, and their relationship naturally became even closer.

“Brother, lightning magic is extremely lethal to demons. These two old monsters are probably afraid of your lightning magic and are thinking of fighting a war of attrition with you.”

"Oh, right! They claimed to know the Black Mountain Demon earlier; were they planning to stall you while they went to call for reinforcements?"

Yan Chixia's words immediately gave Mo Fei a jolt.

If you can't beat them, call for reinforcements. This is the most common tactic. If the other side keeps calling for reinforcements, won't you eventually be worn down and killed here?
"What should we do? Brother Yan, do you have a solution?"

Before figuring out what array formations are in this world, I really don't want to go on a solo adventure.

Although he is now incredibly fleshy, he is used to being cautious and doesn't want to do anything that puts him at risk.

"I do have some knowledge of formations. With your help, my brother, the chances of breaking the formation are definitely not small. Why don't we try it together?"

"Try it...? Then let's try it. Go ahead and do it, brother. I'll protect you."

Oh, and bring those two lads along too. With them around, we can find someone to help with any errands we need.”

At this moment, Shi Fang and Ning Caichen were both sitting on the side resting, looking dejected.

Having witnessed Mo Fei's incredible prowess, they had hoped to escape and rescue the people, but in the end, they still couldn't break through the maze set up by the monsters. This filled the two with a sense of despair.

However, disaster struck while one was sitting at home.

They didn't know where they had offended this new expert, but no matter what dangerous situation it was, he would always think of taking them along first.

Under Mo Fei's half-coercive, half-threatening invitation, the two could only reluctantly follow him into the maze.

……

Although it's called a maze, it's actually not much different from the real world. After entering, the pervasive mist actually dissipated quite a bit.

All that could be seen were dense, enormous ancient trees, with thorns growing among them and fallen leaves reaching up to knee-deep, making every step extremely difficult.

Moreover, poisonous insects and rodents would occasionally dart out from among the fallen leaves and launch sudden attacks on the group, making it quite difficult to defend against.

However, thanks to Mo Fei's probing aura, the group was never seriously harmed, though the fear never ceased.

This has made Shi Fang and Ning Caichen somewhat paranoid, and at the slightest disturbance, they frantically try to get closer to Mo Fei.

……

After walking for a while, the four of them finally emerged from the dense forest and saw the first building they had seen since entering the formation.

This quaint little building is nestled among a bamboo grove. It is extremely elegant from a distance, with carved railings and painted screens. The melodious sound of a zither drifts from inside, accompanied by the occasional sounds of young women chasing and playing, which arouses a strong sense of curiosity to peek inside.

"Goodness, they made me wander through the woods for ages, and now they're finally serving us a meat dish."

However, just as Mo Fei was about to stride into the small building to experience the seductive scene from the movie, Yan Chixia, who had a fierce look on his face, reminded him of some unpleasant memories.

"Brother, once we're inside, don't rush into fighting. I've come down the mountain to cultivate my mind and am looking forward to trying out some seductive techniques from demons and ghosts to purify my heart. I hope you'll grant my request."

The character in the drama is notorious for his ruthless ways of harming women. It seems highly likely that he will encounter the female lead, Xiaoqian, in this small building, so it's best to give him some warnings just in case.

After spending a day together, Yan Chixia came to appreciate Mo Fei, a young man who, despite his great strength, always addressed him as an elder brother. Upon hearing Mo Fei's request, the latter pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement.

……

As soon as he pushed open the door of the small building in front of him, a group of beautiful women who were playing and laughing in the courtyard all looked over.

These women wore light gauze dresses, which fluttered in the breeze. Their fair skin and the graceful, voluptuous figures outlined by the close-fitting gauze made the others, except for Yan Chixia, drool and feel overjoyed.

"Oh! What a perfect timing! What game are you ladies playing? I usually enjoy playing with people, so how about I join in?"

These female ghosts and spirits had naturally witnessed Mo Fei's power in the clouds and mist.

Originally, when the Tree Demon Granny arranged for them to seduce people in this small building, they were not very willing to participate. After all, such powerful people were not so easily bewitched by illusions.

However, it seems that while this person is indeed impressive, his character and willpower are rather ordinary.

To seduce Mo Fei and the others, the Tree Demon Granny went to great lengths, not only sending out her most beautiful female spirits and ghosts, but also Nie Xiaoqian, who was about to marry the Black Mountain Demon.

Looking at Joey Wong, who stood in the center of the group of women, dressed in a simple white dress with her hair flowing like a waterfall, Mo Fei's heart trembled instantly.

When I watched this drama back then, the scene where Xiaoqian turned around in mid-air and played the zither in plain clothes by the lake is still fresh in my memory.

Frost covers the ten-mile-long calm lake, and every inch of my black hair is tinged with sorrow for my fleeting youth.

Alone and lonely, I long for companionship; I envy not the immortals, but only the mandarin ducks.

These four lines of poetry are still unforgettable to this day.

With their prey offering to join, how could the group of fairies and ghosts possibly refuse?

They immediately suppressed their fear, stepped forward, and swarmed to lead Mo Fei into the main hall of the small building.

On the contrary, Nie Xiaoqian, whom Mo Fei cared about the most, seemed to be a little downcast and not very enthusiastic.

Why does this young lady seem to be in a bad mood?
"Is something wrong? I'm a renowned gynecologist with a family tradition of expertise. How about I examine you for a bit?"

With Mo Fei's current strength, if he didn't want to leave, how could these shallow demons and ghosts who specialize in charm magic possibly take him with them?

Seeing that they couldn't budge Mo Fei no matter how hard they tried, all the demons and ghosts became angry with Nie Xiaoqian.

"Oh dear! Xiaoqian, this young master is so kind as to take the time out of his busy schedule to play with us sisters, and you are so disappointing. Come here quickly, let's sisters keep him company and have some fun."

"what……!"

Mo Fei's words and the teasing from her sisters finally brought Nie Xiaoqian, who had been somewhat stunned, back to her senses.

She first gave an apologetic smile, then smoothed her hair and walked forward with light, graceful steps.

"what……!"

However, just as she was about to approach Mo Fei, Mo Fei suddenly stepped forward and pulled her into his arms.

Amidst the latter's scream, Mo Fei spoke directly:

"You are Nie Xiaoqian? Judging from your absent-minded appearance, that old monster is probably going to marry you off to the Black Mountain Demon, right?"

I imagine you're unwilling, so why don't you come with me from now on, and I'll protect you for the rest of your life?

"Uh……!"

Could it be that this sudden display of affection caused all the demons and ghosts around to be stunned on the spot?

However, after Mo Fei revealed the Tree Demon Granny's plan, all the demons and ghosts realized that Mo Fei had not been deceived by the illusion at all.

Therefore, they immediately revealed their true forms and rushed straight towards Mo Fei.

The wooden building beneath their feet suddenly disintegrated, transforming into massive tree roots that coiled around them.

"Kid, now that you've entered my territory, you're not leaving today!"

As an old demon with a long history, how could the Tree Demon Granny really place her hopes on the pitiful charms of these little demons and ghosts?
