Chapter 270: Chapter 270: Xuanji Sect Master’s Killing Intent, the Tree Demon Strikes First!

An ultimate treasure, even the tree demon refused to give its own kind, smothering them while they were still sprouts, how could it possibly hand it over to the Xuanji Sect Master?

But for Lu Chen at this moment, it was not necessarily a bad thing.

It entirely created an opportunity for an ambush!

Of course, if it were possible not to take action, Lu Chen would definitely not make a move!

As he pondered, Lu Chen also pricked up his ears, listening carefully to the dialogue between the person and the demon.

"Eh, I remember it was here, could it have been stolen?"

The tree demon feigned an anxious expression, its roots continuously turning over the fallen leaves on the ground.

"Tree demon, I advise you best not harbor any ill intentions."

The Xuanji Sect Master was also calm, guessing that the tree demon wouldn’t hand over the formation core treasure so readily, but there was still a glimmer of hope in her heart, wishing the tree demon truly couldn’t find it.

"Senior, I wouldn’t dare to deceive you! Earlier, someone came here, and I felt the presence of other missing formation cores, perhaps that person found it through the resonance between the formation cores!"

The tree demon had lived long enough and possessed extraordinary wit, also capable of cunning tricks.

This lie with a mix of truth and falsehood actually managed to deceive the Xuanji Sect Master!

Because she had indeed seen Lu Chen fall from that mountain, leading her to pursue him here.

It was just coincidentally that she encountered the tree demon!

Seeing the Xuanji Sect Master’s vigorous vitality yet unstable aura, the tree demon wanted to devour her flesh and blood, but never expected that the Xuanji Sect Master was full of tricks, and after suffering a setback at the hands of Li Qingyao, had become even more cautious. No matter what the tree demon did, it couldn’t deceive her.

In the end, she even uprooted the tree demon completely.

"I didn’t expect that Lu Chen also found the formation core..."

The Xuanji Sect Master thought carefully, having seen Lu Chen before, he had indeed reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, and this would have been impossible without some opportunity!

"But I’m not in a hurry, if it was indeed found by him, it will eventually fall into the palm of my hand! If the formation core were taken out of this broken formation, then the formation would be destroyed, which is tantamount to giving me a signal. So... there’s no need to keep this tree demon alive!"

The Xuanji Sect Master’s intention to kill arose.

She wanted the formation core treasure, and the Tree Core as well!

At that moment, the tree demon also suddenly took action!

Being born a demon, it was extremely sensitive to killing intent, knowing that the Xuanji Sect Master wouldn’t show mercy, of course, it wouldn’t just wait to die!

And the reason for leading the Xuanji Sect Master here was because it had grown in this place, all the ancient trees around were imbued with its Demon Qi, and could be at its command!

"All Trees Submit!"

With the tree demon’s furious roar, within a hundred zhang radius, all the ancient trees thunderously pressed down towards this spot!

Demon Qi surged, the ancient trees blotting out the sky, with endless Wood Spiritual Power as support, it was a truly overwhelming force!

"Seeking death!"

The Xuanji Sect Master was a beat late, her face changed immediately, she reached out and struck towards the sky above with a palm, forming a Spirit Power Palm!

Boom!

Boundless Spiritual Power burst forth, worthy of being at the Core Formation Stage, that power made the tree demon extraordinarily fearful!

But now, there was no way back!

"All Trees Incinerated!"

The tree demon roared, casting a Demon Art again!

The ancient trees burst into flames!

In an instant, this place became a sea of fire!

Lu Chen had not expected the tree demon to be so resolute!

Fire overcomes wood!

Was it not afraid of being burned to death itself?

But Lu Chen already felt the temperature rising rapidly, and the densely stacked fallen leaves on the ground had begun to smoke, with flames already appearing in some places!

Lu Chen was not worried, his body could freely switch between attributes of Spiritual Power; with just a thought, the Five Elements Spiritual Power within his body would autonomously transform, spiraling through the meridians, then all turning into Fire Spiritual Power!

Lu Chen was not afraid, but the little black beast that followed was not able to withstand it!

Taking advantage of the fight between the person and the demon, the little black beast fled in a panic!

But at this moment, the tree demon regarded all living creatures within its surroundings as enemies. Sensing the little black beast with its Demon Sense, it naturally assumed it was some kind of spell maneuver from the Xuanji Sect Master, quickly controlling a fiercely burning ancient tree, and pressing it right towards the fleeing little black beast!
