Chapter 288: Fierce Battle (1/2)

A black light flashed past. The ferocious sea beast, the tiger eel, suddenly stopped moving. First, a thin line appeared on its back, and then the line grew larger and larger.

The entire sea beast collapsed on the spot, cut in half from head to toe.

The sharpness of the Immortal Slaying Flying Sword was definitely not something that a body of flesh and blood could withstand. A mere tiger eel that had formed a Demon Core was no different from a fish on the chopping board in front of the Immortal Slaying Flying Sword.

Master Le Yuan, who was covered in blood, fell out. He waved his fists on the ground with a blank expression. He had thought that his life was over.

After that, they saw Jiang Li descend from the sky.

”Alliance Leader Jiang!”

”Junior Brother Jiang Li!”

Senior Sister Qi Yu also reacted at this moment, and a pleasantly surprised expression appeared on her face. This Junior Brother Alliance Leader from the neighboring hall had never disappointed anyone.

She did not care about the wound on her body that had been cut open when she forcefully pried open the mouth of the Giant Tooth Shark. She threw a Water attribute buffing spell technique at Jiang Li.

A stream of pure water attribute spiritual qi updated the status ”Water Spirit Life Wood (Foundation Establishment)” on Jiang Li's body to ”Water Spirit Life Wood (Core Formation)” before bringing the injured people into the city.

Jiang Li nodded at them, then waved his hand and scattered a handful of rice-sized seeds covered in a layer of salt crystals.

It was a special Sea Wood seed that he had collected on the way here.

Nine Nether! Tree Realm!

Ordinary plants usually could not withstand a high concentrated saline environment. With Jiang Li's usual plant seeds, the power of his wood attribute spell technique would naturally be greatly reduced.

However, Jiang Li had always liked to plan before making a move. Since he knew this situation, he had naturally made preparations earlier.

In fact, the solution to this problem was very simple. As long as he used the native salt resistance plant, this problem would not exist.

The Great Sea Floating Wood was such a superb substitute.

Under the urging of Jiang Li's Nine Nether spiritual qi, the Great Sea Floating Wood with developed roots quickly and savagely grew, forming a vast forest.

The strong roots spread out with the island as the center, wrapping around all the sea beasts they encountered.

With Jiang Li's current strength, ordinary sea beasts did not even have the qualifications to cause trouble in the Nine Nether Tree Realm.

The strong roots also had a layer of white salt crystals on the surface. After wrapping around the sea beast's body, the salt crystals quickly covered it. In contrast, the bodies of the sea beasts quickly shriveled.

The Great Sea Floating Wood was a typical sea carnivorous plant. Compared to sunlight, it was more enthusiastic about hunting for fresh meat.

The high concentration of salt in the body also caused their strong electrolyte penetration pressure, causing very few creatures to be able to compete for water with this Great Sea Floating Wood.

As long as one came into contact with their roots, their bodily fluids would inevitably flow out, and the speed was quite fast.

This was a carnivorous plant that no one wanted to provoke in the ecosystem of the coastal area.

In order to gather its seeds, Jiang Li had also spent a lot of effort and time.

However, the power of the Nine Nether Tree Realm executed by the Great Sea Floating Wood was even more astonishing. In just a few breaths, it had turned more than a thousand sea beasts into its own food.

The crazily spreading tree sea expanded until it reached the mouth of the sea mud worm before stopping.

A strange creature covered in brown scales, with a body thin like a human, and a face covered in white bone armor, stood in front of the sea of trees.

He did not know what method it used, but no matter how Jiang Li controlled it, the sea of trees could not get close.

Jiang Li, who had already done his homework, naturally knew that it was the greatest enemy of all creatures in the entire Azure Cloud Continent, the Armored Trolls.

A sharp black light flashed through the air again at an indiscernible speed.

In the next moment, an extremely sharp black flying sword appeared in front of the Armored Troll.

However, the Immortal Slaying Flying Sword that had always been successful did not hit its target this time. Instead, it was forced to stop about three feet in front of the other party.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

A large number of cracks suddenly appeared in the air in front of the Immortal Slaying Flying Sword. When the cracks spread to a certain extent, they exploded like glass.

Clearly, an invisible barrier blocked the flying sword's blade.

The Immortal Slaying Flying Sword could destroy both objects and demons. Although the ability of the Armored Troll was different from human cultivators, since they were both creatures of the continent of the Nine Provinces, they naturally relied on spiritual qi. Jiang Li's Intrinsic Flying Sword could not be easily blocked.

However, after breaking through an unknown barrier, the pitch-black flying sword only advanced half a finger before being blocked by another barrier.

It was clearly impossible to kill the other party in a short period of time.

The Immortal Slaying Flying Sword that had exposed its tracks was targeted by the enemy immediately.

One had to know that there were a total of 50 Armored Trolls standing in the air and staring covetously.

Another stronger Troll with abnormally large claws stepped forward and raised its right claw at the flying sword.

Jiang Li instinctively felt a threat and decisively recalled the flying sword.

As soon as the Immortal Slaying Flying Sword left, before the afterimage left behind dissipated, five blood-colored claw marks that tore through the sky slapped down.

After passing through the afterimage of the flying sword, it tore apart a large portion of the Great Wood Nine Nether Tree Realm below.

”What a powerful attack!”

Jiang Li could not help but feel a lingering fear in his heart. Fortunately, the flying sword withdrew quickly. Otherwise, after enduring this claw, there would at least be some damage.

He had used his Liquor Fire Sword Song cultivation to refine the Immortal Slaying Flying Sword, so the backlash would be limited even if the flying sword was damaged.

However, this flying sword had cost him a lot of effort. Just like the Dragon Imprisoning Lock and Yin Burial Coffin, it was one of his core artifacts. How could he bear to let it be damaged?

The blood claw from before was extremely sharp and dangerous, but it caused Jiang Li the most trouble. It was the unknown barrier that blocked the Immortal Slaying Flying Sword.

When the strong Armored Troll attacked, it did not seem to care about the defense barrier of its companions. Moreover, it was indeed not affected when it attacked.

That kind of barrier ability seemed to be an extremely brilliant one-way defense. Only the enemy's attacks were blocked, while they could attack from the inside without any obstruction.

Being able to shield the other party made them more troublesome than a group of individual Armored Trolls.

Most importantly, they still had 48 companions who had not attacked.

In fact, from the positions of these Armored Trolls, these two demons were far from the strongest.

If the remaining Armored Trolls attacked together, he would definitely have no hope of resisting.

How could a creature that could compete with the entire Eastern Region of the Azure Cloud Continent for thousands of years be simple?

Moreover, up until now, these Armored Trolls had forced the cultivation world of the Eastern Region to be at a disadvantage in defense.

It was not excessive to overestimate such an enemy.

Jiang Li had long known that they were very strong, but he never expected that he would encounter such a troublesome situation as soon as they met.

”Fortunately, I'm not alone!”
