Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 326: The Merchant Thief Cao Dao Pulls Out the Willow Tree Demon

The overwhelming willow branches instantly covered the Smilax glabra.

Each willow branch flashed with a sharp cold light and carried a powerful force that could penetrate even the hardest stone or iron shield with one blow.

In front of these terrifying willow branches, the flesh and blood body is as fragile as a piece of Lu silk.

Xiang Hu is a vivid example.

Although this guy was born with supernatural power, and his skin was thick and tough, and it was difficult to be injured by swords and knives, but in front of the sharp willow branches, he was like tofu, and his chest was easily pierced.

In Liu Yao's opinion, although Shang Lu's strength is far superior to Xiang Hu and stronger than it, he is also a flesh and blood body.

As long as its willow branches can pierce the Chinese aconite, they will be able to create a big hole in the aconite's body, dig out its heart and lungs, and devour its flesh and blood!
At this moment, seeing that thousands of willow branches hit Shanglu, the strange human faces on the willow trees all showed hideous grins.

"No matter how good you are at defending, can you defend against tens of thousands of willow branches attacking you at the same time? If you miss even one, you will end up with your heart pierced by thousands of willow branches!"

Liu Yao was very confident in his attack.

Sure enough, the next moment the Willow Demon saw a lot of willow branches piercing through Shang Lu's sword formation and whip wall, and then stabbed Shang Lu fiercely.

"Hahaha, suffer death!"

The Willow Demon laughed wildly with triumph.

It has even begun to expect that the nutrients obtained from eating the rhubarb will allow it to develop "roots".

From now on, you can move around freely, leave this small cave, and go out to experience the colorful world.

The willow monster sucked hard.

But it did not suck up the delicious flesh and blood, nor did it obtain any nutrients.

Because the willow branch, on which it had placed high hopes, failed to pierce the body of the Chinese herb.

There was a layer of black stone armor on Shanglu's body, blocking the willow branches.

This layer of stone armor was like skin, tightly wrapping the Shanglu without leaving any gaps.

Some willow branches attempted to pierce into Shanglu's body through vulnerable parts such as the eyes, ear holes, and even the anus, but were still blocked by the stone armor.

But this layer of stone armor is still unusually strong.

The willow branches that could pierce through hard stones and penetrate iron armor and thick shields could not penetrate this layer of stone armor and could only produce sparks.

Even if a willow branch occasionally managed to pierce a crack in the stone armor, before it could drill into it, a thick earthy smell would emanate from the body of the Smilax glabra, instantly repairing the cracks and leaving no room for the willow branch to drill into.

Shanglu, who was casting the Stone Armor Curse in his hands, did not slow down at all.

He even mobilized the power of dragon and tiger to increase the speed and momentum of the charge to a higher level.

At this moment, Shanglu was like a huge rock thrown out by a catapult.

With tremendous force, move forward courageously!

Anything that stood in his way, whether it was willow branches or something else, was smashed to pieces by him!

The willow branches that were so fierce and covered the sky were defeated by Shang Lu in such a simple, crude and almost brutal way!
In the blink of an eye, Shang Lu rushed to the Willow Monster.

He did not slow down and crashed heavily into the Willow Monster.

"boom--"

Although the violent collision did not break the willow monster directly, it still caused it to shake and its branches and leaves fell to the ground.

Even the entire cave shook from this impact.

Shang Lu felt a little regretful that he failed to break the willow monster in one blow, but he was not discouraged. He stretched out his hands like lightning and hugged the tree trunk.

However, the trunk of the tree was too thick, and even if Shanglu stretched out his arms as hard as he could, he was unable to hug it.

But Shanglu also has a solution.

He curled his fingers into claws, dug into the tree, and held on tightly.

Then he shouted loudly: "Get up!"

All the meridians, muscles and bones are exerting force like crazy at this moment.

There were bursts of dull rumbling sounds coming from the ground under Shanglu's feet.

The willow monster was really pulled out bit by bit by Shang Lu.

This situation made the Willow Demon terrified.

It is still being bombarded by lightning and fire. If it is really uprooted, it will be completely finished.

"Do not--"

The hideous human faces on the Willow Monster all roared, turning into a new wave of mental attacks.

Unfortunately, this trick was of no use to Shang Lu, it just made him feel annoying.

At the same time, Shang Lu also confirmed that the willow monster was indeed afraid of being pulled out.

So he tried his best to increase his power, and the five statues in his internal organs also shone with light to help him.

Shanglu burst out with even greater power, causing the willow monster to emerge little by little.

Realizing that mental attacks were completely useless, the Willow Demon could only activate its roots and hold on to the mud and rocks tightly amidst screams.

Even if I can only delay time, every second counts.

In Liu Yao's opinion, Shang Lu had to maintain the thunder and fire and also exert force to pull it up, so the consumption must be huge.

The longer you delay, the better your chances of winning.

As long as we delay until Shang Lu has exhausted all his strength, the time for counterattack will come.

In order to consume more Shanglu, the Willow Demon not only continued to urge the willow branches to launch attacks, but also let the willow leaves fall.

The sky was filled with willow leaves, like a rain of arrows, sweeping down towards Shanglu, creating a violent and rapid crashing sound.

Although he couldn't break the stone armor, he wanted to use it to increase Shanglu's consumption.

But the willow monster did not notice that a cold wind was blowing around it.

Wherever this cold wind passed, strings of copper coins strung together with red ropes, bells with spells painted on them with cinnabar, and command flags were inserted into the surrounding ground and hung on the branches of the willow monster.

In an instant, a small magic circle was set up by Sanniang.

Her figure flashed and she floated to the center of the formation, waving a red flag in her hand that looked like a flame.

The atmosphere in the cave, which was originally filled with extremely gloomy and deathly energy, suddenly changed drastically.

A beam of sunlight shone through the crack in the top of the cave, like a stream of fire, weakening the yin and death energy in the cave.

Shanglu, who was exposed to the sunlight, felt that the strength in his body became stronger.

But the Willow Demon felt that this beam of sunlight made it very uncomfortable.

Its demonic energy was suppressed, and the power it obtained from the underground was also reduced.

All this made the speed of the lightning and fire burning faster than the speed of new branches and leaves growing.

The Willow Demon was horrified and hurriedly mobilized more demonic energy to resist the thunder and fire.

As soon as it did this, Shang Lu noticed it keenly.

Shang Lu knew that this was a great opportunity, so he tried his best to seize it.

"Om-"

In the Wu Zang Temple, the five statues simultaneously emitted divine light, which was projected onto the Yin Yang Bell, causing it to emit a deep and rich sound.

"boom--"

Inside the sea of ​​qi, the slowly rotating cyclone suddenly accelerated at the urging of the bell, swirling rapidly, driving Shang Lu's essence and divine power to rotate along with it, erupting with tremendous power.

"Get me up!"

Shang Lu roared, and with the help of the tremendous force brought by the cyclone, he pulled out the willow monster.

"Bang bang bang bang-"

Continuous explosion sounds came from the mud and rocks underground.

It was the willow monster's roots that were torn off abruptly.

The willow demon was aware of the danger. The strange human faces on its body were no longer ferocious. Instead, they were replaced by expressions of fear and it let out a desperate wail:
“No no no… no—”

But these screams are of no use.

"boom--"

With a loud noise, the ground shook. Shang Lu pulled the willow monster up by its roots and lifted it high above his head.

"Rumble--"

The lightning summoned by the Thunder and Fire Poison-avoiding Umbrella reached its peak at this moment and struck the Willow Monster madly.

This wave of thunder and lightning also brought with it divine power and righteousness, which made its power to suppress evil spirits even greater.

However, the situation of the Willow Monster was just as Shang Lu had expected. After being pulled out of the earth and rocks, it lost the support of its backup force.

At the beginning, it could barely hold on for a while under the bombardment of thunder and fire, and continued to grow new branches and buds.

But soon it became unsustainable and could not grow new branches.

Shang Lu noticed this, but did not put the Willow Monster down, and still held it high above his head.

He was afraid that once he let it go, the Willow Monster would be able to touch the soil and rocks under his feet again, and would be able to absorb new strength and be reborn.

During this process, Shanglu was also affected by the thunder and fire.

Fortunately, he had anticipated this. In addition to the stone armor, he also mobilized his vital energy to protect his entire body and resist the burning of thunder and fire.

Not only that, Shanglu also released a series of air ropes, drilled into the ground, and attacked the broken tree roots.

These tree roots cannot move, but a group of rats and snakes with red eyes have emerged from underground.

They dug holes in the ground and tried to escape by holding broken tree roots in their mouths.

Unfortunately, although the noise they made was very quiet, Shang Lu still noticed it.

The air rope attacked, first piercing the heads of the snakes and rats, then wrapping around the tree roots and dragging them out from underground.

These tree roots wanted to resist, but unfortunately their strength was not enough compared to Shanglu's Qi rope.

Not to mention, Shanglu also added divine power to these qi ropes.

As soon as the tree roots were dragged out of the ground, lightning struck and burned them.

Seeing this, Willow Demon was completely in despair.

Originally, it thought that as long as some tree roots escaped, even if the trunk and branches were burned to charcoal ashes by lightning and fire, it could still survive by relying on the roots.

But now, its wish has been completely dashed.

There is no chance for the Chinese prickly ash to survive!

The Willow Demon was extremely hateful and angry.

But under the forging of thunder and fire, its hatred and anger were nothing but impotent rage.

Repeated lightning strikes completely dispersed the evil aura of the willow monster and also destroyed its intelligence.

Only after making sure that the willow monster was completely killed did Shang Lu put away his umbrella to avoid thunder and fire.

Although the thunder and lightning have stopped, the fire on the tree is still burning fiercely.

At this moment, Shang Lu threw down the willow tree.

Even so, it was not allowed to touch the ground.

Shanglu released the tortoise-shell shield and activated several steel knives, using them to prop up the willow tree so that it could not come into contact with the ground.

While staring at the willow tree being burned by lightning and fire, Shang Lu clenched his fist and punched the ground.

"Boom - boom -"

The huge force blew up a large amount of mud and rocks.

Shang Lu transformed into a human excavator and dug frantically at the place where the willow monster had just taken root.

Soon, Shanglu really made a discovery underground.

He dug out piles of scattered bones.

There are both animal and human ones.

It is these corpses that turn this cave into a burial ground.

The willow demon takes root here and can continuously absorb the yin energy and death energy contained in the bone burial ground, and transform them into its own power.

At this time, Zhu Quan chased into the cave.

He was startled at first when he saw the burning willow tree.

Then he saw Shang Lu standing next to the pile of bones, hurried over, bowed and asked: "Sir, are you okay?"

"fine."

Shang Lu had ended the Stone Armor Curse at this time.

Without the condensation of the spell, the stone armor covering Shang Lu turned into stone chips and mud and scattered all over the ground.

"What's the situation outside the cave?" Shang Lu turned his head and asked Zhu Quan.

Zhu Quan reported: "Several leaders have been killed. The bandits are fleeing towards the southern path. Qiu Dao from the office is leading people from Wannian County to pursue them. Sun Chen has also led people to block the gap. It won't take long before we can wipe out this group of bandits."

Shang Lu nodded. This was expected and he was not surprised.

Zhu Quan then added: "But we have not yet discovered who among the bandits is driving the beasts."

"The one driving the beast is most likely this willow monster."

Shang Lu raised his hand and pointed at the willow monster that was being burned by thunder and fire.

"Its leaves have the effect of confusing the mind and controlling the body. It may be difficult to control people, but it is much easier to control animals. Now that the willow monster has been killed, the beasts that were controlled and driven by it should return to normal."

Shang Lu’s judgment was correct.

Just when the Willow Monster's intelligence was completely shattered by the thunder and fire, the wild beast that was driven by the Willow Monster towards the bandits suddenly regained its self-consciousness.

They first looked around in surprise and bewilderment, as if they didn't understand why they were in this place.

Then they discovered other wild beasts, and then they engaged in a confrontation and fight.

The same situation happened with Sun Chen.

As soon as the battle started, they were attacked by wild beasts.

Fortunately, we were well prepared this time, so we didn't have to flee in panic because our defense line was disrupted.

However, just as they were holding off the beasts' attack, the fleeing bandits in the mountain village swarmed down.

Sun Chen hurriedly mobilized manpower, trying to stop the fleeing bandits, kill them and capture them.

However, because there were wild beasts all around, the people from Wannian County didn't know which side to deal with first, and they were suddenly in some confusion.

Seeing that the good situation was likely to be ruined, Sun Chen shouted angrily, but it was of no use.

At this moment, the blood color in the eyes of the beasts attacking from all directions suddenly faded.

Then they scattered and fled as if they had been greatly frightened.

Sun Chen was also somewhat capable, and seeing this, he hurriedly boosted morale.

After the wild beasts retreated, the yamen runners and soldiers of Wannian County felt that they had won a victory. They finally stopped being in chaos and began to cooperate with their companions who had chased down the mountain to surround the fleeing bandits and beat them up.

Shang Lu used the paper man to fully grasp the situation on Sun Chen's side.

He felt relieved when he was sure that Sun Chen and his men had blocked the fleeing bandits and nothing unexpected happened.

Then he ordered Zhu Quan: "Call a few people in, dig up all the bones in the ground, and bring them into the mountain stronghold. When the sun comes out tomorrow, expose them to the sun first, and then use pine and peach wood as firewood to burn them."

The bones in the cave are filled with extremely yin and deathly energy. If they are not dealt with, even if they do not turn into monsters or ghosts, a second willow monster will be born in this place.

"Yes." Zhu Quan immediately took the order and turned to leave the cave.

After a while, several strong men from Wannian County were brought back and asked to dig and move the bones.

Shanglu stayed in the cave to prevent any accidents from happening.

In the blink of an eye, an hour passed.

The bandits in the mountain stronghold have been completely wiped out. Zhu Quan and his men are cleaning up the battlefield and searching for the hidden bandits.

In the cave, the thunder and fire on the willow monster also burned out at this moment.

Shang Lu raised the whip and chopped the willow monster, which had been burned into charcoal, into pieces. He was about to give an order to wrap the ashes in cinnabar and bury them outside the cave.

Suddenly, something in the remains of the Willow Monster caught his attention.
