Moreover, the fact that this tree demon could prevent them from entering the mountain demonstrates its immense power.
The Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master chose to retreat and discuss the matter quietly with the others.
The best way to deal with the tree spirit is naturally to use fire, since fire overcomes wood.
Even a tree spirit with extremely powerful demonic energy would suffer a setback under the blazing fire.
Shangguan Hongyu stood at a distance, secretly sending a message to the old tree demon, urging it to be careful.
The old tree demon overheard the secret discussion between the Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master and others.
When it comes to using fire, the old tree spirit is confident that his skill level is definitely better than those demon hunters.
Previously, when the demon hunters came to deal with him, they used fire attacks quite often.
However, the demon hunters who appeared at that time were just small fry from Mangshan, with no great skills and very poor fire-making abilities.
The Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master was slightly stronger, but he was still no match for the old tree demon.
The Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master and his group then turned back and quickly formed a formation.
In an instant, the old tree demon was located at the core of the formation.
With a loud bang, flames erupted around the old tree spirit.
From a distance, the old tree spirit was completely engulfed by flames.
Logically speaking, trees are the most flammable material. If a tree is burned like this, it will surely turn to ashes in no time.
However, as time went by, the Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master and others soon discovered the strangeness of the situation.
Despite burning for so long, the tree still looks very green.
"Grandmaster Uncle, this tree demon seems very powerful," a disciple exclaimed.
The Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master did not answer. How could a tree demon that could block them from entering the mountain not be powerful?
The old tree spirit is persisting, and they need to persist too. They refuse to believe that they can't burn the old tree spirit to death in the end.
"Shouldn't we help them?" Dugu Qiusheng felt a pang of pity watching this.
Shangguan Hongyu laughed and said, "I believe in the old tree spirit's strength; it's just playing with them."
If the old tree demon really makes a move, apart from the Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master, the other Mangshan disciples will surely die a gruesome death in an instant.
But judging from the disciples' reactions after learning about the Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master's actions, it's clear that there isn't a single good person in Mangshan.
"Can it be killed?" The old tree demon's voice suddenly entered Shangguan Hongyu's ears.
Shangguan Hongyu relayed the old tree demon's words to everyone.
Dugu Qiusheng laughed and said, "This old tree demon is really interesting. He needs to consult us before killing humans."
“This shows that He is a good demon and never harms people,” Liu Yi said.
Bian Lang said, "Wife, let the old tree demon show off his skills, so that we can broaden our horizons."
Shangguan Hongyu nodded, then told the old tree demon that all those demon hunters were evil and could be killed.
The old tree spirit could have persisted indefinitely, but it knew very well that these demon hunters would not give up until they completely eradicated it.
This constant mutual attrition is utterly pointless.
He has never killed a human being, but that doesn’t mean He doesn’t kill people.
Actually, killing people is much easier than killing demons.
After receiving Shangguan Hongyu's permission, the old tree spirit stretched out its branches and chuckled, "Foolish demon hunters, trying to burn me to death with fire, I really don't know what you're thinking."
Hearing the old tree demon's words, all the demon hunters were puzzled. If they didn't use fire to deal with the tree demon, did they have to use water?
It is known that water benefits all things, and for the tree spirit, obtaining water would be like adding wings to a tiger.
The Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master then reminded his disciples not to be misled by the old tree demon's words. They must remain steadfast and increase their firepower no matter what.
Even if the old tree spirit is powerful, it will eventually succumb to the prolonged scorching heat and collapse.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
Just as the Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master was thinking this, he saw a large number of tree roots suddenly shoot out from the base of the old tree demon.
The tree roots seemed to have eyes, shooting towards the demon hunters of Mangshan.
The tree roots pierced through the flames, straight through the chests of the demon hunters, pierced their hearts, and greedily sucked the blood from their bodies.
The thick, brown tree trunk turned blood red in an instant.
The Heavenly Master who subdued the tiger was greatly shocked. He had not expected that the old tree demon's demonic power was also over ten thousand years old. He hurriedly shouted, "Retreat!"
As he spoke, he teleported away and escaped.
But the other Mangshan disciples had no chance to escape.
On the contrary, once the Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master left, the old tree demon was completely unleashed, and its rampaging roots swept over all the demon hunters like a raging storm.
In the blink of an eye, all the demon hunters died after the old tree demon drained their blood.
Only the Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master escaped.
The old tree spirit ate its fill and carelessly tossed the corpses into a secluded spot deep in the mountains.
Those corpses will inevitably become food for wild beasts and insects.
The group then appeared before the old tree spirit.
The old tree spirit revealed its features, its eyes gleaming, and said, "If you ever have such a good thing again, be sure to remember to look for me."
Shangguan Hongyu asked with a smile, "Does the blood of those bad people taste good?"
"It's pretty good, you should try it," the old tree spirit said.
Shangguan Hongyu shook her head. Although she was indeed a demon now, deep down she still considered herself human.
Human blood and flesh are very delicious to monsters, but just thinking about it makes her feel nauseous.
“One of them escaped; that guy was pretty tough,” the old tree spirit said in turn.
Shangguan Hongyu laughed and said, "He can't escape."
The most evil person in the entire Mangshan Mountain is the Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master.
Now, the Mangshan disciples may only have one left, the Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master, and they certainly won't let him go.
The group then entered the mountains and arrived at the mountain town, where they saw some people still working, which made them sigh with emotion.
