452 You can also call me Little Ancestor
Facing two Mahayana monks, Gong Zhe seemed to feel threatened and attacked more fiercely.
The "mucous membrane" covering the world barrier continued to ripple, and strange-mouthed people grew one after another like flowers and fruits.
These humanoid monsters covered with sharp teeth pounced towards Daoist Master Zhuyue and Jiang Xiao. Their power was even stronger than those they had encountered before inside the World Tree.
"The fusion between the Devourer and the World Tree has deepened." Jiang Xiao reminded in a deep voice. The silver-white spear pierced through the bodies of the three strange-mouthed men at the same time. The raging fire from the tip of the spear instantly devoured them and burned them to ashes.
"Quick battle, quick decision." Taoist Master Zhuyue responded without turning his head. Countless sword formations appeared beside him, attacking the strange-mouthed people who were rushing towards them.
Tens of thousands of swords came out at the same time, and countless strange-mouthed people were crushed by the sword power of Taoist Master Zhuyue before they could get close to them.
After Jiang Xiao dealt with the strange-mouthed man who rushed over first, his body turned into flames and rushed straight towards Gong Zhe's "mucous membrane": "Cover me!"
Taoist Master Zhuyue guessed his intention and immediately adjusted the sword formation to wipe out all the strange-mouthed people who rushed towards Jiangxiao, and forced a path for Jiangxiao among the charging enemy troops.
The fireball transformed by Jiang Xiao slammed into the "mucous membrane" body, causing the Tiancheng spiritual world and the demon world wrapped in Gong Zhe to tremble violently.
The raging flames spread from the impact point, quickly igniting the "mucous membrane" itself, and in the blink of an eye, Gong Zhe was completely ignited.
The flames shot up into the sky through the burnt vines and poured into the two worlds, illuminating the two worlds with a red glow, like the sea surface reflected red at the rising sun.
Gong Zhe, who was covering the world barrier, let out a painful roar, and the "mucous membrane" itself was boiling in the flames, like boiling water in a kettle that was filled too full, splashing everywhere, and dark green sticky liquid continued to spill into the star realm.
Taoist Master Zhuyue was unable to dodge and a few drops splashed on his top-grade robes, which were immediately corroded and a big hole appeared with a "sizzling" sound.
He swung his sword without hesitation to cut off the corroded corner of his clothes to prevent the corrosive force from continuing to spread.
The broken sword formation was formed again, Taoist Master Zhuyue swung his sword, and sharp sword intent was stimulated from his blade and sword formation.
As he swung the sword, the sword intent flew and pierced into Gong Zhe's "mucous membrane", making Gong Zhe's roar even more shrill.
"I will kill you! Kill you!" The hoarse male voice roared angrily. Under the severe pain, he stopped devouring the two worlds. Instead, he retracted his body, which was burned by Jiang Xiao and only two-thirds remained, and turned into a giant tree again.
However, unlike the world tree seen before, the trunk of the giant tree that Gong Zhe transformed into was formed by a twisted human figure that kept circling. The trunk of the tree is covered with hideous human faces, and the crown of the tree is Gong Zhe's giant head.
His sharp teeth were exposed outside his lips, and he stared at Taoist Master Zhuyue with resentment and anger.
Without his "mucous membrane" body, the red flame continued to shrink and turned back into Jiang Xiao's appearance.
He and Taoist Master Zhuyue stood on both sides. Gong Zhe looked towards both ends, staring at them warily.
A crack appeared between his eyebrows. The crack grew bigger and bigger, dividing Gong Zhe's green face, which was a mixture of flesh and wood grain, into two halves.
The necks of the heads split in two like forked branches, and each half of the head turned towards Taoist Zhuyue and Jiangxiao, staring at them fiercely, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Not a drop of blood flowed out of the cut on his head, and the flat cut surface only showed wood grain with fine growth rings.
"Give me the tree core." said the half head that was looking at Jiang Xiao.
Jiang Xiao lowered his head and glanced at the faintly beating tree heart in his hand, and sneered: "So you can talk?"
Gong Zhe ignored his provocation and repeated through gritted teeth: "Give it to me."
Jiang Xiao held his spear in front of him, not afraid at all: "So what if you don't give it to me? Can you still kill me?"
Gong Zhe's two heads were split into two and gnashed their teeth at the same time, making a creepy "clucking" sound: "Mingchen couldn't kill me back then. What can you do to me when one of you has just reached the Mahayana stage and the other is Mingchen's defeated opponent?"
"Mingchen left a backup plan to deal with you." Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked behind Gong Zhe.
Above the two worlds that merged together, the protective formation that had fallen into silence in order to resist Gong Zhe's devouring and protect the sentient beings in the two worlds lit up again.
Under the light, Jiang Xin's petite figure was revealed.
The little fellow smiled brilliantly and happily rushed towards Daoist Master Zhuyue: "Master, I knew you could be promoted successfully!"
Taoist Master Zhuyue smiled and bent down to hug her, but he didn't expect that the little girl ran too fast and passed right through him.
Taoist Master Zhuyue’s heart sank.
The corners of Jiang Xiao's lips, which were slightly raised, also flattened.
Even Jiang Xin himself was stunned. He looked down at his own seemingly solid body, then turned to look at Taoist Master Zhuyue, and pursed his lips in grievance.
Before the grandparents could say anything, Gong Zhe's voice came again: "You are not Mingchen?!"
Because he was almost beaten to death by the Immortal Master Mingchen, even though Gong Zhe has gone mad now, he still remembers everything about the Immortal Master Mingchen clearly.
Previously, separated by the world barrier and protective formation, he mistakenly thought that Jiang Xin was the Immortal Master Mingchen because of the similar aura between her and that of the Immortal Master Mingchen.
Now that there is no external force to mislead, Gong Zhe faced Jiang Xin directly. He could clearly sense that in addition to the aura similar to that of Immortal Master Mingchen, this little girl also had an aura that belonged to this child alone.
"My name is Jiang Xin." Jiang Xin introduced herself seriously and told Gong Zhe, "You can also call me Little Ancestor."
"If you're not Mingchen, then go and die!" Gong Zhe roared, and his two halves of the head rushed straight towards Jiang Xin.
The body composed of "human-shaped snakes" also twisted and squirmed, like a moving mountain of flesh.
"Xinxin, hurry up!" Taoist Zhuyue drew his sword and took Gong Zhe's attack for Jiang Xin.
All of Jiang Xin's strength was used to maintain the protective formation, to ensure that the spiritual energy and vitality of the two worlds were not lost, and to protect all living beings in the two worlds from being devoured by Gong Zhe. She who appeared in the Star Realm was just a projection.
But Gong Zhe can use the status of the World Tree to directly attack Jiang Xin's body through this projection.
The sword light flashed, and the strange-mouthed man derived from Gong Zhe's body was forcibly stopped by Taoist Zhuyue with a sword formation and separated from Jiang Xin.
The cultivation level of the Mahayana stage cannot destroy Gong Zhe, but Gong Zhe cannot easily defeat the Mahayana stage either.
Gong Zhe was extremely angry as his plan to devour Jiang Xin was repeatedly frustrated. "Get lost! What's the point of Mingchen leaving her as a backup? She's just for me to eat! I want to eat her! I want her vitality and spiritual power! I want the power of all living things in her!"
"I won't give it to you." Jiang Xin snorted at him and said to Jiang Xiao, "Junior brother, kill him quickly!"
Jiang Xiao was about to step forward to help deal with Gong Zhe, but stopped when he heard this.
Following her gaze, Jiang Xiao saw the tree heart in his left hand.
He was a little confused and didn't understand what Jiang Xin meant.
But when he caught a glimpse of the Devourer's body, which showed both vitality and corruption, Jiang Xiaofu suddenly realized what Jiang Xin wanted to do.
