Chapter 70 The Strange Infant Barrier
Li Wushou waved his sleeve, and a cloud of ash scattered in all directions.

"Blood Yang Power?"

The Tree Goddess exclaimed in astonishment, "A high priest actually unleashed the power of Blood Sun?"
Even she was somewhat taken aback. Although the high priest was young, practicing Yin Refining Technique would eventually cause his physical body to wither and decay. So how could he have severed the power of Yang Blood?

Unable to understand, the Tree Goddess's hands moved swiftly, the wood spirit energy swirling at her fingertips suddenly turning back and sending it into the body of the infant in her arms.

The baby paused in sucking its fingers, and its whole body began to tremble violently.

With a flick of her sleeve, the Tree Goddess caused the infant to float up. Then, it suddenly flipped over, facing the ground, and countless roots and veins extended from its body, just like the dark green leaves from before.

The Tree Goddess looked at Li Wushou and slowly said, "It was originally prepared for the Martial God, but the High Priest's performance has truly exceeded everyone's expectations. In that case, we can only take you down first and then invite the Martial God to be our guest."

This was not a lie. In their plan, the Hundred Infant Barrier formed by Grandpa Cui and the River God, combined with the leaves of their own bodies, should be enough to kill most of Li Wushou and the group of minor officials, bringing them to the brink of despair.

Only in this way can they invite the Martial God, and then I can step in and keep the Martial God outside the city for a period of time, and then everything will be settled.

Unexpectedly, Li Wushou not only killed the River God and Cui Agong, but also strangely managed to kill all the minor officials and his hundred infants who fought for a long time in the barrier.

Could this be the City God's trump card?

A hint of apprehension flashed through the Tree Goddess's mind. The other party had suppressed her for hundreds of years, and now that she had been forced into such a situation, was she starting to pull out some of her trump cards?
Unfortunately, this time you're facing no ordinary opponent.

The Tree Goddess was deep in thought when the baby suspended in mid-air suddenly cried out, "Wah!"

The roots on its body suddenly accelerated, covering the entire sky and earth.

"Wow~"

At the same time, dozens of cries echoed from the necks of the people in Cui Family Village. Then, the infant sucked hard into their ears, and the people of Cui Family Village withered instantly, turning into dried corpses. The infant then leaped into the barrier.

Cui Tai and another villager carrying a baby mountain both stepped out and entered the barrier.

A gentle breeze blew, and the people of Cuijia Village who were standing still fell to the ground silently, like withered firewood, ignored by everyone.

Li Wushou frowned as he looked at the baby in mid-air. In his view, there was nothing there. The whole world was upside down. What looked like the sky could very well be the earth, or it could be something else entirely.

No wonder Fu Feng and Lin You's alliance strategy just now only managed to mobilize the power of the stars so weakly.

This has created some trouble. Although Li Wushou has a mysterious perspective, it seems that the Tree Goddess is not going to give him that much time.

The two girls behind the Tree Goddess, who were fanning themselves with palm-leaf fans, drifted away like smoke, transforming into two leaves that flew back to the tree branch and hairpin above her head. The Tree Goddess swayed lightly as she entered the barrier, then suddenly vanished from the spot.

Only one sentence remained in the air: "Now, please invite the Martial God, and then come with me to the Burial Soul Forest as a guest, shall we?"

His response was a sword light. For a moment, Li Wushou couldn't pinpoint the location of the infant who had opened the barrier, so he simply slashed at the two people carrying the mountain of infants.

In Li Wushou's view, these two were similar to Chef Hu, always providing supplies.

Putting myself in their shoes, if someone were to kill Chef Hu, I would definitely feel terrible. So killing these two people first is definitely the right thing to do.

They don't make a move unless they're absolutely sure of it, but when they do, they go all out.

Dark red spiritual energy dissolved in the magic sword, the view firmly locked onto the two people, Li Wushou suddenly disappeared from the spot, and then a dark red sword light slashed out from the void.

"presumptuous."

While waiting for Li Wushou's reply, the Tree Goddess roared angrily. She hadn't expected that someone who seemed so polite would be so shameless in his actions.

The cycle of heaven and earth was about to relocate the two. But how swift was Li Wushou's sudden attack? With a single sword strike, he shattered the body of one of them, along with the infant mountain he carried on his back.

Even with all her efforts, Tree Goddess managed to move Cui Tai away. Li Wushou was relentless and drew his sword to strike again, but this time the sword was not aimed at Cui Tai, but rather at the ground behind him.

The dark red sword light spiraled and easily broke through the ground's limitations, shooting straight ahead.

"Born with divine eyes? How could you be born with divine eyes?"

The Tree Goddess was horrified. Didn't Zhu Sihai say that Li Wushou could devour souls and cultivate like a martial god? How could he be like a civil god, directly tracking her teleportation within the Hundred Infant Realm?

No wonder the City God went to such great lengths for this child.

The Tree Goddess moved Cui Tai, who still had half of his body, to the other side. Then, the souls of several infants around him exploded, and the world became even more turbid.

Li Wushou frowned. He had lost his perspective again, and his vision was blurred as if shrouded in mist, making it difficult to see clearly.

These strange spirits are indeed troublesome, especially the ones that have lived for a long time.

Seeing that Li Wushou had stopped attacking, Tree Goddess breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he wasn't as monstrous as the Civil Official, but even so, he was still enough to shock Tree Goddess.

He dared not delay any longer, lest something unexpected happen and not only did he fail to summon the Martial God, but his own body was also destroyed.

This is a branch that has grown on him for hundreds of years. If it's broken, Zhu Sihai will have to pay more.

Since Li Wushou is so troublesome, let's start with these minor officials.

Once the decision was made, the barrier suddenly darkened. The minor officials were still in shock at the Tree Goddess's shout of the Innate Divine Eye when they felt a chill run down their spines and a weight on their necks.

A chilling force traveled down his spine and into his bone marrow.

Fu Feng and the others quickly activated their blood and qi to dispel the cold, and their necks instantly felt lighter.

Lin You and the others' expressions changed drastically. They kept circulating the Yin Refining Technique, trying to refine this Yin-cold power. Normally, this would be a rare resource for cultivation, but at this moment, no one gave them time to cultivate.

Lin You and the others felt a sharp pain in their eardrums, a splitting headache, and felt as if their brains were being sucked away.

Fu Feng activated his blood energy, protecting Lin You and the others in the center.

Li Wushou's voice came from the darkness. Following the guidance in their minds, Fu Feng and the others quickly settled into their positions and then frantically activated their blood energy. In an instant, only one-third of the blood pupils in their mouths remained.

To the naked eye, Fu Feng and the others looked particularly strange, some hanging upside down in the sky, some standing on the ground, and some even stepping on other people's heads.

This shows just how chaotic the space inside the barrier is at this moment.

This can't go on. We can hold out, but these officials can't. Not to mention Lin You and the others, even Fu Feng and the others with blood yang energy can't hold out.

Because once the blood pupils in their mouths are depleted, when the blood yang energy erupts again, it will draw their own blood, and even Lin You and others who are close to them cannot avoid it.

Fu Feng was severely beaten the night he experimented with the Blood Qi Seed.

It was Li Wushou who had a flash of inspiration and thought of making a golden statue for the City God. So he asked Liu Yanchang for some flesh and blood spiritual eyes. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have recovered by now, let alone be able to fight.

However, despite his solemn expression, Li Wushou remained calm in the face of the situation.

Since Li Wushou had guessed that the Tree Goddess was very likely to come, how could he not have made preparations?
He had been waiting for something since the very beginning, and now the time had finally come.
