Dao Cheng Gui Xian

Chapter 71 Incense Ash
After discovering that the Tree Goddess had truly appeared

Li Wushou cleaved through the dark green leaf barrier with a single slash, then casually scattered a wisp of bluish-gray as he waved his hand.

This bluish-gray residue is left over from years of burning incense in the incense burner in the Three Immortals Pavilion that wasn't fully burned. The old beggar usually treasures it!
This time, Li Wushou was given this opportunity because he came to the city alone.

Now, due to the distortion of space, it's all scattered everywhere!
Li Wushou took out a stick of incense from his pocket, and with the blood yang energy from his fingertips, he rubbed it, causing the incense to ignite and wisps of smoke to fill the air.

The space was so distorted that Li Wushou couldn't find a place to stick incense after searching everywhere. He glanced at his shoulder and casually stuck the incense stick there.
The Tree Goddess, whose spirit was hidden in the shadows, thought that Li Wushou had finally given up!

"Hmph, only now you think of summoning the Martial Priest? Too late!"

The Tree Goddess snorted coldly. Li Wushou's rudeness had greatly diminished her goodwill towards him, and she decided to teach this high priest a lesson first!
Do you really think you can run rampant in your own Hundred Infant Realm just because you have a little bit of blood yang energy? The children who ate the children of Cui Family Village also have blood energy!
"The evil infant has arrived!"

One after another, illusory infant spirits emerged from the void of the barrier, and then, like the mountain of infants on Cui Tai's back, they piled up haphazardly. In a moment, a terrifying figure more than four meters tall rose from the ground.

This figure was none other than the monstrous infant that the Tree Goddess had been chanting about, surrounded by hundreds of dark green infant heads, constantly roaring.

At the same time, dozens of pairs of infant legs and feet stretched out from the body, which looked like tentacles compared to the tall body!

Just one glance at this strange infant was enough to shake the minds of many junior priests to their core! This was true not only for Lin You and his group, but also for Fu Feng and his group!
Protected by Fu Feng and the others, Lin You and the other priests subconsciously restarted the alliance technique.

Yin arises from yang, and the distorted space inexplicably pauses for a moment.

The Tree Goddess's expression turned cold, and she gave the command to the demonic infant: "Tear them to pieces!"

The heads all around the infant spirit roared in unison and charged towards the minor priests!

Li Wushou drew his magic sword from his waist, taking a step forward to block the demonic infant, but the Tree Goddess's cold voice rang in his ears again: "High Priest, you'd better stay put for now! After we've eaten them, I'll play with you properly~"

Li Wushou was summoning the Martial God, while Tree Goddess thought she should clear the field first and replenish her blood offerings to strengthen her foundation!

As soon as the Tree Goddess finished speaking, the space around Li Wushou distorted rapidly, and he was instantly teleported away from the battlefield of the Strange Infant and the Little Gods!

Li Wushou looked anxious and shouted to Lin You, Fu Feng, and the others, "Form ranks and defend!"

No sooner had Li Wushou finished shouting than the vengeful infant was already in front of the junior priests, its hands raised high, ready to smash them down. Lin You and Fu Feng's expressions turned grim, their footwork shifted, they exchanged a glance, and shouted in unison, "Defend!"

The Tree Goddess sneered, "Defense? Ridiculous! What are you talking about?"

Before she could finish her sarcastic remark, the Tree Goddess's expression changed drastically! The junior priests who had shouted for defense suddenly joined forces and unleashed two beams of sword light!
One is dark, the other is red; their power is pure and boundless, clearly having been gathering strength for a long time!

"Damn thieves!"

The Tree Goddess has existed for hundreds of years, and today she has finally seen the light. It's not that she hasn't seen rude and cunning people before, but since she ran rampant in the Burial Soul Forest, no one has ever dared to use such tricks in front of her again!
Today was quite something; I met dozens of them at once!
The blades shot out almost simultaneously, striking the infant's waving arm!
"Sizzle~!"

The infant's arm snapped off with a snap, and the baby's head on its body suddenly let out a shrill scream! The sound was so sharp that it caused many of the minor priests to bleed from their seven orifices in an instant!

That last strike had drained most of the junior priest's power, and now, in his haste, he was unable to steady his mind!
The Tree Goddess, radiating murderous intent, coldly snorted, "Explode!"

Suddenly, the severed arms of the priests gave way to infants who leaped and bounded over the heads of the many young priests!

"Form a defensive formation!" Fu Fenglin's pupils contracted; this time, it was a genuine defense!

Suppressing their inner turmoil, the group worked together to erect two protective barriers.

"Bang bang bang~!"

A series of explosions rang out, giving everyone no chance to catch their breath, showing that the Tree Goddess was truly enraged!
In an instant, the two protective barriers were completely torn apart. Still not satisfied, the Tree Goddess commanded several infants to jump into the crowd and explode with a bang!
Lin You grabbed the somewhat exhausted Feng Sishui and quickly rolled on the spot to avoid the impact!

Some less fortunate priests thought they could avoid the explosion by staying far away, but the force of the explosion suddenly struck them the next second.

"Pfft pfft~!"

The sounds of vomiting blood continued unabated, and the two teams of junior priests were completely rendered incapable of fighting!
A sense of satisfaction flashed through the Tree Goddess's heart, and she shouted at the wriggling infant spirit that was about to grow new arms: "Eat them!"

The strange infant let out a joyful hiss, got up and walked towards the fallen priests. Even the most resilient priests, like Lin You and Lu Fan, felt a sense of despair!
too strong!
Suddenly, a soft hum came from within the barrier. Li Wushou, who had been trying to break free from the barrier and teleport, found himself standing still, his magic sword trembling slightly.

The fragrance emanating from his shoulder created a thick haze, enveloping Li Wushou in a misty haze, making even his face somewhat indistinct.

Tree Goddess felt a chill run down her spine; she seemed to have subconsciously overlooked Li Wushou just now!
Although he intended to clear out the minor priests first, it was definitely abnormal to completely ignore the major priest. He then shattered two more infant souls in front of him, enveloping himself in mist.

A slight smile appeared on Li Wushou's lips as he slowly spoke, "Borrowing Yin and Yang!"

The already weakened minor priests suddenly had seeds of Yin energy or blood energy fly out of their bodies, and then collapsed weakly to the ground!

Li Wushou took a deep breath, inhaling all the swirling smoke around him into his abdomen. He took a step back, and then appeared strangely in front of the junior priests!

With a single slash of his sword, a dark red streak of light pierced through the distorted barrier, reaching straight to the face of the infant ghost!
"boom!"

The head, made up of mangled limbs, exploded with a deafening roar. Then, Li Wushou continued his movements, tilting his head back and stepping into the void, where he stood upside down.

He suddenly exhaled smoke from his mouth, causing ripples to spread across the void beneath him, as the smoke peeled away layers to reveal the interior.

Show yourself!

With a loud shout from Li Wushou, the incense ash on the Tree Goddess's lotus leaf skirt suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light, directly revealing her figure from the void!

"What is this thing? When did it get marked on my soul?"

The Tree Goddess was horrified. Li Wushou, who had been waiting upside down for a long time, did not give her time to react. He thrust forward with his sword without making a sound!

The light pierced into the Tree Goddess's soul amidst her horrified gaze!
"Wow~"

A baby's cry echoed through the void. Li Wushou held his breath and focused, then swung his sword again at the ground diagonally opposite him! The strange baby extending from the barrier was cleaved in two!
The void was smoothed out, the barrier shattered, and the Tree Goddess stood in place, a dark red bloodline slowly tearing at her soul between her brows.

She gave Li Wushou a deep look, as if she had a thousand words to say.

He left only one sentence before he departed: "Li Wushou, we will meet again!"
