It turns out he was too young and underestimated the possibility of various unexpected events.
"I have failed you all this time, dragging you into danger."
Number 56 sighed, "If an opportunity arises later, I will do my best to help you find a way to survive."
"Why say more?" Iron Hammer laughed freely. "We've come this far, and who among us hasn't faced life and death? Who has ever been afraid? It's nothing more than a battle!"
"war!"
Venus uttered only one word.
"Then let's fight."
He looked up at the sky, which seemed to be shrouded in some kind of malice, took a deep breath, and slowly spoke.
Having made up their minds, the four naturally could no longer allow the great protector of the Spirit Witch Clan to continue his domineering ways. In just an instant, their figures disappeared from the spot.
Ugh!
A sudden gust of wind arose, the ancient trees stood still, and the Great Protector of the Spirit Witch Clan, standing atop the tree, smiled and murmured, "Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, my Witch Clan... will never perish!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Great Protector raised his withered palm and gently clenched it in the air.
At the same time, the vines of the ancient tree beneath his feet extended out, forming four enormous, sky-covering hands in mid-air, which clenched tightly.
Boom!
The void trembled, and the four figures that had disappeared reappeared. Looking at the giant hand that was crushing down, they each used their own methods to defend themselves.
At this point, Shen Qian disregarded the risk of exposing his identity, reached out and grasped the Mountain and River Blade.
Clang!
The Mountain and River Blade, with its concealed edge, unleashed a terrifying blade aura the moment it was drawn, striking the large green hand with unparalleled power.
The vines swayed, and a gap appeared in the giant hand. Chen Qian thrust forward with his long sword and pierced straight through.
Although Shen Qian escaped danger in an instant, his expression was not good.
Even with the hidden power of the Mountain and River Blade and his full effort, he only managed to cut a small gap, demonstrating just how resilient the giant vine hand was.
Venus and No. 56 escaped one after another, but both did so by directly using the Great Dao Phantom.
Hammer, on the other hand, found himself in trouble.
He must have practiced some kind of martial art, concentrating all his strength in his hands, which was precisely restrained by the continuous, vibrant vines, just like a wild beast trapped in a net, unable to break free for the time being.
The three of them couldn't pay attention to him, because before they could catch their breath, the ancient tree vines that blotted out the sky had already invaded again.
Without using any special moves, the Great Protector of the Spirit Witch Clan didn't even move, but in just a few seconds of fighting, he had already put unimaginable pressure on the four of them.
Swish! Swish!
Shen Qian had never swung his longsword so frequently in actual combat.
Every muscle in his body was taut, and every bit of his vital energy was constantly being mobilized.
Shen Qian moved continuously among the layers of overlapping vines, showering the sky with blade light, not daring to stop for even a moment.
He had no doubt that if he hesitated even slightly or misjudged, he would be instantly swallowed by the vines and fall into the same predicament as Iron Hammer.
At this moment, Shen Qian still felt a little regretful.
He simply hadn't accumulated enough time. If he had been able to cultivate a heaven-defying movement technique, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state now.
The initial enthusiasm was waning. Seeing that even No. 56 and Venus could barely defend themselves, let alone fight back, they couldn't even get close to the Great Protector. Shen Qian frowned.
The Seventh Heaven's mountains and seas were indeed terrifying, completely overwhelming the four of them.
"Continuing like this is just a slow death. Is there a way to break this cycle?"
With a single slash, he severed the ten-meter-long vines that had wrapped around his feet, and taking advantage of the brief opening, he roared.
Venus bit her lip and remained silent. Her veil had somehow fallen away, revealing a face of unparalleled beauty.
Her soft Eastern features blended with delicate and pretty Western features, exuding a breathtaking beauty, only slightly marred by a whip mark on her face.
"The Spirit Witch Clan cultivates Qi and can draw upon the power of heaven and earth from birth. Their only weakness is their frail physique. Human warriors have a natural advantage over them. We are not without a chance, but we must get close to him!"
Number 56, waving a feather fan, loudly proclaimed his judgment.
Shen Qian glanced at the vines that completely blotted out the sky, then at the Great Protector hundreds of meters away. He knew all too well that only by getting close could he have a chance, but...
What is usually a short distance away now seems like an insurmountable chasm.
"I'll pave the way, you gather your strength, success or failure hinges on this!"
Number 56 seemed to have made a decision, and suddenly spoke, his tone resolute.
Just as Shen Qian was about to ask a question, Number 56 suddenly stopped in mid-air, and at the same time, the dense vines around him also stopped.
The thick, bucket-like vines were trembling violently, as if suppressed by some kind of energy field.
An overwhelming aura was erupting from Number 56.
Shen Qian was initially taken aback, then his expression changed.
Because the illusory image of the Great Dao above No. 56 suddenly began to rotate, and a "crackling" sound seemed to appear in the darkness, and the rumbling sound even covered up all the movement in the world.
Sweat dripped from Number 56's forehead as he roared incessantly. With each exertion of his power, the illusory image of the Great Dao began to invert.
Shen Qian didn't know what he was doing, but he vaguely realized that it probably wasn't anything good.
"You're insane!"
Venus shone with golden light, temporarily breaking free from the vines' entanglement. She stared at Number 56 with grief and indignation, saying, "Forcibly reversing the Great Dao, even if you survive, you will become a cripple!"
