Zhang Xiaomo mustered her courage and asked, "Little sister, did you see a ghost?"
"No," Ma Lihua said honestly.
Before he could ask any more questions, the sounds of a fierce battle erupted from inside the cave.
Ma Lihua suddenly stood up, her eyes slightly narrowed. Then, carrying several jugs of water, she walked slowly and breathlessly into the depths of the cave.
Her pale and weak appearance made everyone anxious!
You're panting like this, you might as well sit on the bed and stop making things worse, okay?
But even though she looks sickly, she's quite pretty! A feast for the eyes.
"Ha! You tree spirit, trying to ambush me? You'd better cultivate for a few hundred more years before you try!" Ma Linghua was fighting a monster that was neither human nor ghost.
This time, she was carrying a dagger that she always carried with her. The dagger looked short, but it could actually be used like a throwing knife.
A sharp spike suddenly rose from the ground. Ma Linghua pushed off with her liberation shoes, and she was lifted into the air. She then flipped in the air to dodge the spike that was attacking her from behind.
"Hehe! You look pretty good too. Your flesh may be a bit old, but your cultivation is not bad. As long as I eat you, my transformation will be just around the corner, hehehehe!" A monster with a human body and tree branches for hands and feet said in a sinister tone.
Moreover, his face was neither human nor tree, his body was covered with green moss, and his whole body emitted wave after wave of fishy stench.
"Want to eat me? Then let's see if you're tough enough." Ma Linghua's eyes were full of malice. This tree demon had eaten too many women, and its cultivation level might surpass hers.
Because this tree is extraordinary, it possesses a great deal of power of faith, as well as power of evil and power of resentment.
With all these accolades combined, Ma Linghua might not be a match for her. Moreover, Ma Linghua hasn't made a breakthrough in many years, so winning seems quite difficult.
"Whether I'm tough enough or not, you'll find out soon enough. In this cave, I am the king, the master who rules over your lives. You'd better not resist. I am a god! How can you, a mere first-order mortal, possibly resist me?" The tree demon's green old face revealed a smug smile.
The vines around her moved swiftly like snakes, and Ma Linghua dodged them. If she got entangled, her situation would be dire.
No, if this continues, she will be worn down and die. She has to find a way to escape from this cave, but the old tree demon has blocked all the paths with vines.
"Tear..."
Her clothes were torn by sharp pieces of wood, and blood quickly flowed from her arm, though it wasn't bright red, but rather a pale pink.
Ma Linghua hadn't been injured in a long time, and looking at the bleeding wound, her eyes were filled with malice.
For many years, she couldn't remember the last time she was injured.
"It smells so good! Your blood is truly amazing!" The tree spirit took a deep breath and felt as if it were floating on air.
Ma Linghua distanced herself and rubbed the injured area with her hand. Soon, the area healed, and her hair fell loose, disheveled by the splinter of wood.
"You deserve to die! If I can't kill you, I'll skin you alive!" Ma Linghua was truly furious.
"Soaring through the clouds and riding the waves!" Ma Linghua's body rose up. "Left Azure Dragon, Right White Tiger, Above Vermilion Bird, Below Black Tortoise, Return to Simplicity, Divine Dragon Descends to Earth, Order to Exterminate Evil, Kill!" Ma Linghua shouted.
Suddenly, the sky above the tea mountain changed dramatically. A vortex quickly formed, and the faint roar of a dragon could be heard.
This display of force and momentum almost scared the old tree demon to death!
Looking at the mythical beasts that surrounded Ma Linghua, each occupying a different area, it felt immense pressure. This was on a completely different level. It wanted to report this woman for cheating.
Before it could react, a bolt of lightning struck down from ten thousand meters in the sky, carrying golden energy and possessing terrifying power.
The force struck straight at the old tree spirit's head, getting closer and closer. Lightning could see it clearly: it was a golden, five-clawed dragon.
The golden dragon held its head high, its eyes filled with disdain and contempt.
Its enormous body exudes an aura of majesty, as if proclaiming its power to the world.
Its scales shimmer with a dazzling light, each one like an exquisite work of art, showcasing its unparalleled nobility.
When it stared at the old tree spirit, the contempt in its eyes became even more obvious, as if it were nothing more than an insignificant ant in its eyes, and killing it would be as easy as turning its hand.
This contempt is not merely disdain for the enemy, but also absolute confidence in one's own strength.
Under its gaze, everything around became dim and lifeless, with only the golden dragon itself radiating an awe-inspiring light.
"boom…………"
The golden dragon pierced directly through the tree demon's body, causing it to explode like countless fragments. The dragon's might echoed around, turning all the fierce ghosts into dust.
However, Ma Linghua did not let her guard down. She was now protected by four beasts and was not afraid of being ambushed. But seeing her Yin energy dissipating very quickly, she was also a little nervous.
The black zombie hiding in the shadows was just playing dead, it was terrifying! If that thing hit him, he'd be lucky to even have a whole corpse, let alone survive.
But this tree spirit is clearly extraordinary, simply because it possesses the power of a god, and even that evil god is not without its own merits.
"Cough cough cough... Damn it, you bitch, you hurt my foundation, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to tear your tendons and bones out, so that your soul will never be reborn."
The tree demon has only been cultivated for 500 years, so why is it so arrogant? It's only because the Falling Flower Cave gives it confidence.
"Enough with the nonsense! Come on over here! I'll beat you up and that'll be the end of it." Ma Linghua looked at the tree demon with icy indifference.
Now, the tree demon dared not make any rash moves. Didn't it see the big hole above the Falling Flower Cave? What if it collapsed if it did that again?
Where will its future sacrifices be held? Moreover, its foundation has been damaged and it will take hundreds or even thousands of years to recover. It doesn't even know if it can live that long.
Seeing the tree spirit's hesitant expression, Ma Linghua breathed a sigh of relief. She actually had one more powerful move to unleash, but she needed to charge it up! It just meant that the time and mana bar weren't in sync, so she needed to rest.
Her eyes darkened. To kill this tree demon, Pear Blossom would need to intervene, but how long would it take for her to get here?
Ma Lihua, who was still struggling to walk, took a big gulp of ginseng water. The earth-shattering, ghost-weeping commotion she had just witnessed had made her very worried.
This damn body, why is it so weak? She has to rest after walking a few steps, otherwise she has trouble breathing! She can't even breathe properly, I just hope her grandma can hold on a little longer.
Ma Linghua; "…………………………"
She didn't blame her eldest granddaughter, but that unlucky and troublesome daughter was what made her furious.
