I, the Holy Son of Yaoguang, am invincible in the world / Even my beautiful master is invincible.

Countless roots, like veins, coiled around the heart, preventing Lin Xiao from succeeding.

"Destroy!"

Lin Xiao uttered a single word.

Starlight burst forth between his palms, and all the roots and stems were swiftly destroyed, turning into dust.

"Hoohoo!"

Lin Xiao successfully pulled out the heart.

An incomparably abundant and pure wood elemental power emanated from it.

At the same time, the man-eating tree's enormous body rapidly withered away.

Those tree roots, which resembled dragons, also fell from mid-air, no longer possessing any offensive power.

The heart was ripped out.

The man-eating tree then lost its source of life.

It soon fell and died.

At this moment, the countless vines in the entire dark forest seemed to have lost some kind of vitality.

The countless people who were fighting the vines suddenly saw the vines fall limply, completely devoid of their previous ferocity.

Countless people were filled with astonishment and doubt.

They all immediately showed joy.

With the threat eliminated, it is naturally something to be happy about.

Those martial arts practitioners who were nearly killed were especially relieved.

"call!"

Xing Zang, Ye Baifeng, and the others, no longer under attack, also subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Of the original more than a thousand men, only half remain.

The other half had already perished in the battle.

"What a wonderful treasure of the wood element!"

"Holy Son Yaoguang, you're using us to distract the Man-Eating Tree so you can seize the opportunity yourself. Your plan is a bit too clever for your own good."

Cao Yuntian stared coldly at Lin Xiao.

The Xuan Sha Alliance members around him all had unfriendly faces and fierce eyes.

"Lin Xiao, hand over the heart of the man-eating tree, and perhaps I might consider leaving you with a whole corpse!"

Xing Zang sneered.

As he spoke, he waved his hand, signaling the members of the Southern Heaven Alliance to surround Lin Xiao.

This place is deserted; it's perfect for murder and burying the body.

Afterwards, they could shift all the blame onto the man-eating tree, making it a flawless cover-up.

"Don't even think about using the big black coffin to escape!"

Cao Yuntian secretly locked onto Lin Xiao's aura.

In this situation, Cao Yuntian would take immediate action if Lin Xiao made any unusual move.

He is experienced in killing and will not let Lin Xiao escape easily.

See you in the picture!

However, Lin Xiao had no intention of running away at all.

"Splash!"

As Lin Xiao reached out, light shone from his palm.

"you……"

Cao Yuntian stared at the object in Lin Xiao's palm, and his expression changed.

Chapter 232 Murder

"Splash!"

Blood Demon Pearl emitted a blood-red light from Lin Xiao's palm.

Then the Mist Monster appeared, its body swelling in the wind, and soon it became over a hundred feet tall.

An aura of terror emanated from the area.

The hundreds of elites of the Southern Heaven Alliance all changed their expressions.

"Lin Xiao, how could you control such a powerful Mist-Hidden Monster!"

Xing Cang asked with surprise and uncertainty.

"That's a question for Cao Yuntian."

Lin Xiao said calmly, "Alliance Leader Cao, would you like to say something?"

Xing Zang and Ye Baifeng couldn't help but look at Cao Yuntian.

At this moment, Cao Yuntian and the members of the Xuan Sha Alliance all had very ugly expressions.

Cao Yuntian stared coldly at Lin Xiao, gritting his teeth as he said, word by word, "So, it was you."

During this time, he had been secretly speculating about who had stolen the Blood Demon Pearl.

However, no specific conclusion was reached.

Now that Lin Xiao has taken out the Blood Demon Pearl, the answer has naturally been revealed.

Cao Yuntian had put in a lot of effort to cultivate the Mist King, but Lin Xiao had taken the credit for it. How could he not be furious?

[You have angered Cao Yuntian; your reward is 20 King Goldfish!]

[You have angered Li Lian; you are rewarded with 18 Martial Intents!]

【…】

【…】

The remaining two hundred or so elites of the Xuan Sha Alliance were all furious.

"Cao Yuntian, what is the purpose of your Xuan Sha Alliance entering the Demon King's Palace?"

At this moment, Lin Xiao suddenly spoke.

The Mist-Hidden Monster attacks anyone it encounters, but it uniquely avoids attacking members of the Xuan Sha Alliance.

Furthermore, they can seal away the Mist King.

This is by no means unusual.

"You'll have to find that answer on the road to the underworld!"

Cao Yuntian said coldly.

His raging anger fueled his murderous intent.

"boom!"

Holding a blood-red spear, Cao Yuntian charged swiftly toward Lin Xiao.

Even with the Mist King standing in front of Lin Xiao, Cao Yuntian felt no fear whatsoever.

Cao Yuntian wanted to kill someone, and even the Mist King couldn't stop him.

"go with!"

Lin Xiao issued a command.

Soon, the Mist King charged towards Xing Zang, Ye Baifeng, and the others, who were also eager to make their move.

Lin Xiao already knew how to control the Mist King through the Blood Demon Pearl.

However, he did not intend to use the Mist King to deal with Cao Yuntian, but rather to use him to restrain the members of the Southern Heaven Alliance.

"Shh!"

Seeing Cao Yuntian rushing towards him, Lin Xiao's figure flickered and disappeared from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was already among the Xuan Sha Alliance members.

"boom!"

The next instant, Lin Xiao slapped Li Lian on the forehead.

He's too fast.

Li Lian was also a top expert on the King's List, with considerable strength, but he couldn't react at all.

"Crack!"

His head was shattered, and blood splattered everywhere.

Li Lian's eyes widened, and his body gradually fell backward.

He seemed to have never imagined that he would die in this way.

For Lin Xiao, the threat posed by the Xuan Sha Alliance was greater than that posed by Ye Baifeng, Xing Zang, and others.

The entire Xuan Sha Alliance is a group of vicious and ruthless people.

They're all seasoned veterans.

Let's deal with them first.

"kill!"

An elite member of the Xuan Sha Alliance, also possessing the cultivation of the ninth level of the Martial King Realm, wielded a sharp longsword and swiftly slashed at Lin Xiao.

"Boom!"

Lin Xiao neither dodged nor evaded, but instead unleashed a fierce leg whip strike.

The blade flashed and scattered.
