Chapter 156: Turning Wood into a Demon



Jiang Li threw away the astringent fruit residue in his hand without leaving a trace, and walked forward to help the other person up with concern.

This beautiful young swordsman had just woken up from a coma and hadn't figured out the situation yet. Like a frightened deer, she instinctively wanted to push Jiang Li away.

But with the little strength she had, she couldn't even put up a bit of resistance.

As Jiang Li helped her up, a stream of pure wood-attributed spiritual energy passed over.

The wood spirit made a fire, and after this spiritual energy passed by, the other party's face instantly looked much better.

We are all cultivators, and the state of our spiritual energy can often determine many things. After being nourished by the pure wood-attributed spiritual energy, the injuries and pains in our bodies were quickly suppressed.

She finally regained some strength and began to look around.

After looking up and seeing the word "藏" on Jiang Li's chest, he finally relaxed a lot.

The relationship between the four major sects in Dachongshan has been getting closer and closer in recent decades, and they have carried out joint actions from time to time to promote exchanges.

At least when there is no conflict of interest, they are relatively friendly to each other. Most of the time, disciples are also willing to make friends and help each other.

Just like the disciple from Cihang Temple and Yin Qiu from Huoxing Peak whom Jiang Li had met before.

Although their meeting was an accident, they got along pretty well. After all, Jiang Li got a little something from them in the end.

"Thank you...thank you for your help, Senior Brother. I am Qiu Hua from the Divine Mountain of Shushan. Thank you, Senior Brother. May I ask your name?"

Shenshan Qiuhua stood up with great difficulty, took out a bottle of pills from his arms, poured a few pills into his mouth, and then his disordered breathing gradually calmed down.

With his shaky body, he could barely stand on his own.

Jiang Li had never suffered such an injury before, so it was difficult for him to empathize with the situation. In his mind, no matter how badly a cultivator was injured, he could still kill a mortal with a single blow, so how could he really not even be able to stand steadily?

But in fact, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although a camel is bigger than a horse, it is still skinny. So Jiang Li is just talking without any pain. Even if he is really seriously injured, he will recover in a few minutes.

The sword-cultivating girl wiped the sour water from the corner of her mouth with her sleeve, wondering where this strange liquid came from.

But he didn't think much about it. The current situation didn't allow him to pay attention to these details. After taking a breath of spiritual energy to recover some strength, he bowed to Jiang Li and thanked him.

"Junior sister, please don't be polite. We are of the same path. How can I stand by and watch someone die without helping? I am Jiang Li from the Sutra Repository. I want to know why Junior Sister Qiu Hua was injured like this."

Junior sister Qiu Hua's surname contains the word "Shenshan", which means she is a well-known name in the Dachongshan area.

Countless demon sects were destroyed by the sword light under this surname, and countless demon cultivators gnashed their teeth in hatred for this surname while tossing and turning in bed.

To this day, it is said that there are still several canyons that were split by the other party’s grandfather with a flying sword, and many people have built temples and erected monuments there to worship them.

However, as Jiang Li looked at the other person's face, he was thinking about the possibility of practicing dual cultivation with the other person.

Water gives birth to wood, wood gives birth to fire, their spiritual attributes seem to be quite compatible.

But at this moment, the grass and trees swayed, and a series of footsteps came from all directions. There should be a lot of people surrounding this place.

"Oh no! Brother, please leave quickly! They are coming for me!"

After discovering something strange outside, Shenshan Qiuhua suddenly became a little anxious.

She made a hand gesture and the two flying swords, one blue and one red, that had fallen with her and landed not far away, immediately flew towards her. One landed in her hand and the other spun around her.

As an elite disciple of Shushan Five Elements Peak, the tournament staff naturally gave her the Sky-piercing Thunder to call for help.

But perhaps, influenced by some sense of justice, even if Shenshan Qiuhua would not deliberately expose others' cheating, the pride brought by her surname would not allow her to do such a thing herself.

So after entering the mountain of the competition venue, she simply threw away the map and the sky mine.

In this regard, we can only say that her family education was too good, or even too good.

At her age, she might not understand that people who can lead the trends in this world are all awesome, so this little thing is actually nothing.

Without the Sky-piercing Thunder, she couldn't ask for help, but this wasn't actually a problem. With her strength, it wouldn't be difficult for her to reach the end.

After all, if they all felt it was difficult, then the others would most likely be dead.

But the joint attack by dozens of independent cultivators and even sect disciples caught her off guard.

Relying on the offensive and defensive capabilities of the water and fire swords, he managed to hold on for a while, but in the end he was unable to withstand the enemy's superior numbers and was seriously injured.

She could only control her flying sword and fly into the clouds to escape. She was seriously injured when she took off. As expected, she lost her way in the foggy illusion. After flying for a while, she fainted and fell near Jiang Li.

She thought she had flown far away, but she didn't expect to be caught up so quickly. There was no doubt that the other party must have a way to track her.

“It’s too late!”

Jiang Li stood there indifferently, but they did not have much time to escape. Soon a large magic net covered them and completely covered their heads.

After more than a day of group hunting, the faces of many sect cultivators had changed among the group of wandering cultivators.

Their strength and magic weapons have also been greatly improved, and their overall strength has increased by leaps and bounds.

Just look at this large net, with spiritual light flowing on the crisscrossing silk threads. You can tell at a glance that the grade is definitely not low.

Even though it has holes and holes and seems to be full of loopholes, in fact, not even a mosquito can fly through it. Now even if Jiang Li uses the sky-piercing thunder, it probably won't have any effect.

"Brother Jiang Li, I'm the one who got you into trouble. I'll hold them back and create an opportunity. You should run as fast as you can."

Jiang Li looked at the domineering declaration of the little girl beside him and was moved for a moment. He felt like he was being protected by someone.

Shenshan Qiuhua also had her own ideas. First of all, this matter had nothing to do with Jiang Li, and Jiang Li had saved her. It was against her moral conscience to implicate Jiang Li.

On the other hand, the other group of people were able to catch up with him so quickly, obviously they didn't take any detours at all, and came directly here. If he ran away with Jiang Li, the two of them might not have a chance at all.

As for why she didn't cooperate and get rid of these guys, even she had never thought about that kind of thing.

After saying this, Shenshan Qiuhua also groaned and forcibly urged her spiritual energy, making her already serious injuries even worse.

But that was all. The pain from her injury did not interrupt her sword skills. The two flying swords danced up and down, and two completely different auras intertwined with each other.

The way the water, fire and spiritual energy intertwined was like creating a bomb on the spot.

However, the opponent's Taoism was so superb that the two kinds of spiritual energy did not explode. Instead, they quickly formed a thin layer of water film in her hands, perfectly wrapping up the fire flying sword and a large amount of fire-attributed spiritual energy.

The Floating Water and Fire Sword! It clearly contained a large amount of fire-attributed spiritual energy. This flying sword should be as eye-catching as the blazing sun at this moment.

But at this moment, the spiritual fluctuations of this flying sword were not obvious at all, and could even be said to be quite obscure.

If Jiang Li hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought that there was no flying sword in front of him.

The flying sword took the initiative to break through the air, and a moment later, a beam of fire exploded in the jungle dozens of meters away.

Accompanied by three short screams, in Jiang Li's ear world, the breathing and heartbeats of the three monks came to an abrupt halt.

This sword technique is quite unique, using the soft and stable water-attribute spiritual energy to isolate the explosive and scorching fire-attribute spiritual energy fluctuations.

By the time it flew close, the enemy had time to respond hastily, but it was already too late.

This was originally a sword technique performed by a water-based sword cultivator and a fire-based sword cultivator in collaboration. The sword cultivator's clone and his junior sister had practiced it before, so Jiang Li knew about it roughly.

Shenshan Qiuhua can perform a combined sword attack technique by herself, which shows her excellent fighting ability.

"There are so many of them! Run! Run in that direction!"

The sword cultivator Shenshan Qiuhua used this sword technique to break the encirclement.

After she told Jiang Li to run quickly, her legs went weak and she was about to fall down.

If Jiang Li really ran away at this time, the other party would probably have to die here.

I don’t know if the elders of the Shenshan family will regret making this girl’s values ​​too upright.

The next second, Shenshan Qiuhua, who was weakened again by the forced burst of sword skills, felt an unexpected sense of weightlessness.

With a scream, she was actually picked up by Jiang Li around the waist.

Before she could react or say anything.

Then a strong wind blew towards her, and the white clothes stained with a little blood were blown with a rustling sound. The huge wind pressure made it almost difficult for her to breathe, and she could not even open her eyes.

I barely opened my eyes a crack, but the scene in front of me was stretched into strips of light and shadow, and I couldn't see anything clearly.

The little princess of the Shenshan family was pressed tightly against Jiang Li at an exaggerated acceleration.

This... This speed! How... Is it possible! This speed, she had only felt when her parents took her flying. And the sense of speed in the endless sky and in the forest full of trees was completely different.

Jiang Li was holding Shenshan Qiuhua, who weighed less than 100 pounds including the flying sword. His speed was not affected much. He turned into a trailing shadow and instantly flew out of the so-called encirclement.

As he left, he even kicked an enemy to death.

"They ran away and someone was helping her."

A group of cultivators gathered at the place where Jiang Li and the other person had just stopped.

The leading few people stepped forward to observe the traces and quickly came to this conclusion.

One of them raised his hand, and a large net covering the top of the area quickly began to shrink and turned into a ball of light and fell back into his hand.

Just by looking at the man's clothes and the red volcano pattern on his chest, he turned out to be an elite disciple from Bailian Mountain, one of the four major sects in Dachong Mountain.

It wasn't just him. Many of the people around him were disciples from other sects, big or small. One of them was bald, had scars on his head and wore a monk's robe. Even the disciples of Cihang Temple were not spared.

If they were able to capture Jiang Li and Shenshan Qiuhua, then the four major sects in Dachong Mountain would be complete.

You must know that all the cultivators who come here to participate in the competition are talented disciples from the major sects and the future heirs of the sect.

If he controlled this group of people, it would be equivalent to controlling the future of the Dachongshan area. After a few hundred years, when the old superstructure was replaced by the new one, the entire Dachongshan might become a breeding ground for a certain spiritual root.

A monk took out a bamboo tube from his arms and poured a strange-looking insect into his palm.

This insect has only one tentacle growing in the middle of its head, and it can swing freely in the air.

Soon, the insect seemed to catch some smell in the air, and its single tentacle pointed in one direction.

"That woman is injured. They can't run far. Chase them in that direction!"

The others stood up silently and prepared to chase in the direction Jiang Li and the others left.

But how could Jiang Li really choose to run away in front of such a group of people? When he left, this group of people had already been defeated.

"No need to chase me. I think you'd be happier if you just died here."

Such a voice suddenly sounded.

A group of parasitic monks were instantly horrified, and immediately took a defensive stance and formed a circle, looking for the enemy that was nowhere to be found.

But the sound seemed to be everywhere, echoing all around them, and there was no discovery at all.

"Who is it! You are playing tricks on me, why don't you come out!"

A monk shouted, and as soon as he finished speaking, his wish was fulfilled.

A big tree next to him suddenly came alive, as if it had turned into a giant centipede, with the trunk as its body and the branches as its legs. It crawled quickly and knocked him down and strangled him to death in an instant.

The other monks were horrified and tried their best to rescue their companions.

But this was clearly just an ordinary tree, but at this moment the wood became as tough as metal.

Several spells were cast, causing wood chips to fly everywhere, but the entangled monk was still not rescued.

They were thinking about continuing, but suddenly found that the atmosphere around them seemed a little strange. Looking around, they realized that they had no chance.

Hundreds of large trees around them pulled out their roots from the ground, transformed into beasts and humans, and pounced towards them.

The huge size and strange movements caught them off guard! This is the latest Taoist method that Jiang Li obtained from the Sutra Hall in the Sutra Valley.

It is called the magic of turning wood into magic.

This was a kind of "enlightenment technique" that was very popular among some big monsters who occupied the mountains and became kings in ancient times.

It can quickly create a large number of small demons and monsters for use. Many of the demon soldiers that are often said to be tens of thousands but are vulnerable to attack come from this.

The magic technique that Jiang Li obtained was specifically used to transform plants, flowers and fruits, and had no effect on animals or other things.

Originally, it was impossible for Jiang Li to learn this spell in such a short time.

But after receiving the memories of the second clone, his understanding of the Yin Wood properties had made considerable progress.

This spell had just been passed down, and at that time, it was natural for me to enter the door.

Hundreds of tree goblins besieged more than thirty monks. For a moment, vines were dancing wildly, and magic weapons were flying, emitting spiritual light all over the sky.

There was a melee and violent fluctuations of spiritual energy, which startled flocks of birds nearby. The noise could be heard from far away.

After a long time, the war finally came to an end.

The battle results of this group of monks were truly remarkable. Even when they were surrounded, they managed to kill twice as many tree monsters as themselves.

Of course, this mainly relies on the powerful explosion of magic weapons of those sect disciples to achieve such an exchange ratio.

After the battle, except for a few unlucky ones who were attacked and killed by their companions, the remaining thirty-one monks were all captured alive.

Speaking of which, this bit of magic is really suitable for Jiang Li.

By utilizing the endless and high-quality spiritual energy, Jiang Li can bring forth a large number of little monsters in a very short period of time, and can also enhance their quality and guide their forms.

Like the wooden dragon that Jiang Li had cast out in the coffin space before, it was the effect of this spell.

Although with his current magic, the success rate of permanently transforming monsters is still very low, it is still a very practical spell.

After the battle was completely over, an ordinary coffin rose from the ground.

The coffin lid slid open automatically, and a large number of tentacles suddenly extended from inside, pulling all the captives and corpses on the ground in.

Immediately, the coffin shrank to the size of a pencil case and chased in the direction Jiang Li left.

Jiang Li, who had run a long distance, slowly slowed down and stopped. Because of the exaggerated speed and unbearable bumps, the sword cultivator Shenshan Qiuhua, who was in his arms, was injured and looked in great pain.

"Junior Sister Qiu Hua, we are far enough now. I think we can stop and take a rest."

In just a short while, they had already reached the border between the first mountain and the second mountain.

There is a brook flowing here, which creates a nice artistic conception.

"No, that's not necessary. Those people must have mastered some kind of tracking method. If I stop, they will catch up sooner or later. I can still hold on."

The Shushan education is good, but it seems that this girl has been taught to be too mature and serious. From the moment they met until now, she has always had a stern face and looked serious and rigid, which made Jiang Li feel a little uncomfortable.

Although she thought she was being hunted, she didn't need to force herself.

But what she said made sense. Shenshan Qiuhua had fallen from the fog before. According to the effect of the fog, even she herself could not control her own flight trajectory, let alone others.

But those people were able to track us down so quickly, it's unlikely that there's no trick going on.

"Junior Sister Qiu Hua, I don't think this is a solution. The problem is probably with you. They must have set up some tracking method on you. As far as I know, in the Qi Refining Stage, the most common method of tracking is by smell."

"There happens to be a stream here, why don't you wash yourself here first? We can set off again after we have eliminated the hidden dangers."

Jiang Li waved his hand and released spiritual energy, and the vines on the tree next to him began to grow wildly, forming a green barrier in front of Jiang Li.

"It's better not to wear this outfit anymore. After you change it, Junior Sister can wear mine first if you don't mind."

Jiang Li righteously unbuttoned his disciple uniform and was about to take it off to give to the other party. His expression was upright and calm, without any improper thoughts at all.

In fact, he had already seen that the girl's body was smooth and clean, and there were a few mosquitoes trying to suck her blood just now, so she must not have applied insect repellent powder or odorless powder. In this case, if someone applied some unique powder and tracked her by smell, it would be even easier.

Shenshan Qiuhua, who had been serious and calm, suddenly blushed. She hurriedly stopped Jiang Li, then took out a set of clothes from a small sachet around her waist.

Well, he is worthy of being one of the best second-generation immortals in the Dachongshan immortal cultivation world. At the age of thirteen, he has already possessed a space magic weapon when he has reached the Qi Refining Stage.

The little girl from Shenshan thought about it and felt that what Jiang Li said made sense, so she took her clothes and walked behind the vine barrier.

Then her face turned red again.

Because through the gaps between the vines, Jiang Li on the opposite side was staring at her.

"Brother, can you let them grow more leaves?"

Ahem, Jiang Li looked at the crisscross vine grid in front of him. Wouldn't it look good if it was hollowed out? However, since the other party had said so, Jiang Li couldn't pretend to be exhausted. He could only follow her request and make this layer of vines thicker.

You said Yin Wood Element, what other spells are there?   It can't be something like black wood thorns or black wood spears, right?
