CHAPTER 400: CHAPTER 237: SLAYING; A PLEASANT SURPRISE

Upon witnessing this scene, Xu Ping, who was silently observing the conflict from afar, couldn’t help but slightly raise his brows, contemplating in his heart:

"This person actually possesses some extraordinary wood attribute dao body!"

Having cultivated for many years, he had a certain understanding of various dao bodies.

Ordinary cultivators with wood attribute spirit roots could by no means display such powerful wood attribute divine techniques and magic.

Moreover, the wood attribute divine mana exhibited effortlessly by the hooked-nose man was entirely different from that of ordinary cultivators.

"Wood attribute dao body?"

Xu Ping muttered to himself, falling into deep thought.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck through his mind like lightning, and in an instant, his expression changed dramatically!

"Could this person be Jia Lang from the Luoyun Sect?" Xu Ping’s face quickly darkened.

It’s important to know that within the entire Yue Country, cultivators who possess a wood attribute dao body and have cultivated to the Golden Core Realm are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns!

Jia Lang from the Luoyun Sect was one of them.

As far as he knew, Jia Lang had always been stationed in ’Luoyun Studio’.

Furthermore, during this visit to Luoyun Immortal City, the fact that this person could see through his disguise made Xu Ping even more suspicious.

Now, upon discovering that the opponent’s divine sense was not outstanding, yet managed this feat, it likely involved utilizing part of the power of the fourth rank array.

Considering all these clues, Xu Ping could almost conclude that the hooked-nose man before him was undoubtedly Jia Lang of the Luoyun Sect.

Just as Xu Ping was roughly deducing the identity of the hooked-nose man, Jia Lang, seeing that prolonged attacks had still not subdued his opponent, felt an even stronger desire to kill rising in his heart.

"Die!"

Jia Lang swiftly performed the most complex seals with his hands, muttering ancient and obscure incantations.

With his actions, the surrounding wood attribute spiritual qi surged wildly, coalescing into a mighty torrent, rushing towards him.

His body seemed to turn into a gigantic vortex, voraciously consuming the spiritual qi.

In an instant, a massive divine tree’s phantom appeared behind Jia Lang.

The divine tree stood a hundred feet tall, with luxuriant branches and leaves, and an incredibly robust trunk, exuding an ancient and mighty aura.

"Divine Tree’s Descent, All Things Submit!"

Jia Lang’s eyes turned a deep green, like two dazzling green gems, as he bellowed.

With his shout, the divine tree’s shadow slowly moved forward, and the air seemed to twist wherever it passed.

The divine tree extended its massive branches, viciously smashing towards the Water Lake Rat.

Every branch carried the power to destroy the heavens and earth, accompanied by a howling wind.

"Not good!"

Upon seeing this, Xu Ping’s expression changed involuntarily.

The power of this attack had just barely reached the threshold of the Middle Stage of Golden Core, and with the current strength of the Water Lake Rat, it certainly couldn’t withstand it.

If it resisted head-on, it would almost certainly be seriously injured!

"Slash!"

Xu Ping’s eyes flashed with a cold glint, and then with a flip of his palm, the Magical Treasure Wooden Sword appeared in his hand.

He grasped the wooden sword, and the spiritual power within him surged like a tumultuous river, continuously pouring into the wooden sword, then he swung it fiercely.

Instantly, a sword light burst forth from the sword’s tip, like a fleeting white rainbow, cutting through the sky with unstoppable momentum towards Jia Lang.

The sword light illuminated the entire sky, and the surrounding air was instantly expelled by the sword wind, forming a vacuum zone.

And Jia Lang, who had been entirely focused on performing his divine mana with all his strength, had not paid any heed to Xu Ping, this mere Foundation Establishment cultivator.

So, when he suddenly felt an overwhelmingly terrifying threat rushing towards him, he instinctively turned his head to look.

Only to be horrified to see that the terrifying sword light, like a white rainbow, was already upon him...

"No!"

Jia Lang’s eyes widened with terror, and he wanted to dodge, but it was already too late.

Crack!

The sky-piercing sword light instantly shattered his Protective Spiritual Light, then directly penetrated his body, with the formidable spiritual power wreaking havoc inside him, instantly destroying his meridians and internal organs.

"Puh!"

Jia Lang spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes fixedly staring at Xu Ping, his lips moved slightly as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, said nothing!

A moment later, the light in Jia Lang’s eyes gradually dimmed, his vitality completely dissipating.

His body slowly fell from the sky, plummeting towards the ground.

With Jia Lang’s demise, the divine tree’s phantom lost the power to sustain it, began to blur and fade, eventually vanishing into the air as if it had never appeared at all.

At this moment, the Water Lake Rat, nearly pushed into a corner by the divine tree’s shadow, couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief.

That was close, almost died!

At this moment, its pride in having just entered the third rank great demon had undeniably diminished quite a bit.

It was still too weak, and even a random Golden Core cultivator almost managed to kill it!

This must absolutely never happen again in the future!!

The Water Lake Rat’s eyes gradually became determined!

"Collect the spoils and tidy up the entire battlefield!"

Xu Ping naturally wasn’t aware of the Water Lake Rat’s thoughts; after putting away the Magical Treasure Wooden Sword, he calmly ordered.

"Alright!"

Upon hearing Xu Ping’s command, the Water Lake Rat, initially looking resolute, immediately donned a fawning expression, hastily replying.

While the Water Lake Rat busied itself with cleaning up the battlefield, Xu Ping immediately activated the Six Nines Divination Skill to conceal his act of slaying Jia Lang.

In doing so, even an ordinary third rank diviner wouldn’t be able to deduce anything.

No wonder he’s so cautious, considering this involves a Golden Core True Man from the Luoyun Sect, who also possesses a wood attribute daoist body!
