But they hadn't been gone long.
The splinters that were emerging from the ground became more frequent and numerous.
"That's the tree!"
The old man pointed with trembling fingers to a locust tree in the distance.
Junlin and Luo Jie both looked in that direction; this locust tree looked no different from the other locust trees.
But as they got closer to the locust tree, a faint smell of blood wafted over them.
"This should be it."
After confirming that the locust tree in front of him was the culprit, Luo Jie threw the old man in his arms aside.
Pfft!
Sharp spikes pierced the old man's body and drained his blood in the blink of an eye.
Jun Lin glanced at Luo Jie with surprise. It seemed that this guy wasn't as kind as he had imagined.
Luo Jie noticed Jun Lin's gaze.
He couldn't help but say, "Why are you looking at me like that? You're much more ruthless than me. Speaking of which, why don't you use your Emperor's Banner to collect these souls?"
"Our Emperor's Banner does not accept trash."
He looked down on the souls of ordinary people; his Emperor Banner was designed for elite forces.
Luo Jie: "..."
For a moment, he felt that what Jun Lin held in his hand was not the Soul Refining Banner, but the real Human Emperor Banner.
Otherwise, why would the Soul Refining Banner reject a soul?
This thing is essentially a magical artifact for raising Gu (a type of poisonous insect), and even the most worthless souls can be used as food to feed the main soul of the Soul Refining Banner.
Pfft!
One after another, blood-red wooden spikes suddenly emerged from the ground.
Junlin and Luo Jie quickly dodged.
While dodging the attack, Luo Jie rushed towards the locust tree and slashed at it with his sword.

The full-force sword strike left only a white mark on the locust tree.
Luo Jie's pupils suddenly contracted.
So hard!
Just then, several blood-red petals suddenly fell.
Luo Jie felt a jolt in his mind, and his whole body became somewhat dazed.
Pfft!
A branch of the locust tree pierced Luo Jie's chest, pinning him to the ground.
Holy crap! I got wiped out instantly?
Jun Lin was shocked and rushed to Luo Jie's side, looking at Luo Jie who had been stabbed in the chest.
He cried out in grief and indignation, "Old Luo! Old...wait a minute, are you really dead this time?"
"Cough cough, damn it, we can't beat them, run!"
Luo Jie quickly pulled the branch from his chest, grabbed Jun Lin, and ran away.
"Dude, are you really that resilient? You survived being pierced through the heart?"
Looking at the energetic Luo Jie Junlin, he was somewhat bewildered.
Are all demonic cultivators this powerful?
"I'm lucky my heart is on the right side, and besides, do you want me to die?"
