Wonderful Immortal Doctor

Kuafu Yu was furious. As the strongest warrior of the Kuafu clan, he was one of the most outstanding warriors in the entire Demon Cave.

How dare they treat Wang Manghe, a mere descendant of the Wang Mang clan, as an easy target?

Tolerable or unbearable!

Kuafu now wielded a nine-ringed sword, three feet long. It lacked the metallic gleam of ordinary weapons, and its material was unknown. The hilt was jet black and emitted an eerie glow.

The golden light of Yin-Yang Fire refracted onto the blade in the void.

"Buzz!"

A resounding tremor, as if emanating from the deepest abyss, caused the nine rings on the back of the blade to vibrate in sequence until all nine rings resonated simultaneously.

The sound emitted was not the clash of metal, but the wailing of a hundred ghosts, the friction of flesh and blood being torn apart, and the tangible sound waves of a curse.

The sound, layer upon layer, echoed above the empty city, penetrating straight into my mind, making me uneasy and unable to suppress the urge to vomit.

This is the Nine-Skull Soul-Devouring Blade, a legendary treasure passed down from the Kuafu clan.

The entire blade was forged from the bones and blood of an ancient fallen god.

Kuafu's divine energy surged forth like a mighty river, flowing out with the Soul-Devouring Blade.

Anyone who saw this blow knew that it was something Wang Manghe could not withstand.

But Wang Manghe neither dodged nor evaded, but instead swung his sword to meet the attack head-on, seemingly unaffected by the sword's soul-searching attack.

Under the clash of powerful forces.

The longsword in Wang Manghe's hand was instantly destroyed by the Soul-Devouring Blade, leaving not even a trace.

He did not show any panic on his face.

Instead, he took the opportunity to grab at the blade of the Soul-Devouring Blade.

Even with a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator's physical body, it's impossible to withstand an attack weapon of the level of a legendary spiritual treasure.

Moreover, the Wangmang clan is not a clan that excels in physical tempering.

However, the next moment, countless green vines flew out from the void north of the city and gathered around Wang Manghe.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, one could see that Wang Manghe's arms were covered with dense vines.

Kuafu, with his immense strength projected onto his body, still slashed down with force, feeling as if the Soul-Devouring Blade almost slipped from his grasp.

His expression changed slightly. He saw that Wang Manghe had taken the full force of the Soul-Devouring Blade's energy, and his forehead to his lower abdomen was torn apart.

However, the green vines that were wrapped around Wang Manghe's arm actually transformed into green light and moved through his body.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Manghe also transformed into a vine-wood body like the Third Elder, and the torn wounds were forcibly "stitched up".

Just as Kuafu Yu became wary, he saw Wang Manghe's arm vines grow wildly and transform into a giant hand several meters long. One hand grabbed the blade, and the other slammed into Kuafu Yu's chest!

"..."

Kuafu Yu was sent flying by this palm strike. Although he managed to grab the Soul-Devouring Blade at the crucial moment and retrieve the magic weapon, astonishment appeared in his eyes.

He was far superior to Wang Manghe in terms of cultivation level, so he shouldn't have been injured in a single encounter.

But the problem is, how come Wang Manghe, who was completely outmatched just now, has suddenly become so powerful?

There can only be one reason: it's the old devil from the Wang Mang clan!

Old Ghost hasn't shown up yet, but he keeps using the green vines as a weapon to help him!

Does this mean that Old Ghost can't come out?

Whether it is true or not, one thing is certain now.

Old Ghost can unleash extremely powerful combat strength with the help of the Year Wood Essence!

The fact that the Soul-Devouring Blade failed to sever the wooden vine hand was beyond his expectations.

Kuafu Yu gripped the long sword in his hand with a slight force; his arm was covered with fine wounds.

He had been injured by the vines earlier without noticing that the green sap was seeping into his skin through the wound.

With a long cry, Wang Manghe sent more than a dozen Dao Nascent Soul experts from the Wang Mang clan flying into the void, their bodies enveloped by green vines.

Kuafu Chong's expression changed drastically, and he looked up in the direction of Chen Wanli.

Chen Wanli looked extremely fierce as he swung his jade axe down at the courtyard, only to be stopped by the rapidly growing and intertwined wooden net of vines!

Kuafu clapped his hands repeatedly at his waist.

Several sets of ancient magic array seals passed down from the Kuafu clan floated out.

Some of it adhered to his armor, and some landed in front of Kuafuyu.

These protective hand seals are used one less time each time they are used.

It was Kuafu's life-saving treasure.

Even if it were meant for the war between demons, it should have been used on Old Ghost Wang Mang, but now it's being forced to be used on a group of monsters whose cultivation is lower than his own.

It would be a laughing stock if this got out.

"Two useless idiots! Anyone with a brain knows they're coveting the treasures of my Wangmang clan, but anyone who doesn't know better would think they've come to deliver treasures to us!"

Wang Manghe let out a sinister laugh.

The Dao Nascent Soul experts of the Wang Mang clan had all transformed into wooden vine figures and gathered around Wang Manghe.

Kuafu frowned and attacked again.

This time, Kuafu Chong has joined the group.

The two of them used their bloodline supernatural powers together.

An even more powerful divine shadow, with an aura far more intense than before, swept out.

But Wang Manghe still showed no intention of avoiding it.

Just as the Soul-Devouring Blade unleashed its light...

Suddenly, a green light flashed in Kuafu Yu's eyes.

The Soul-Devouring Blade in his hand fiercely attacked in another direction above the city!

……

Chen Wanli's eyes were fierce. His jade axe, wrapped in divine fire, had just cut through the vine net when, through his divine sense, he saw the strange and terrifying face of the "old man" in the courtyard.

To be precise, it wasn't a "person," but a "big tree" with a human face!

A violent force cleaved from the axe blade toward the tree crown, threatening to tear the massive tree apart.

Chen Wanli felt the blade energy coming from behind him.

He suddenly turned around, leaped up, and kicked out with the momentum.

The foot landed squarely on Kuafu Yu's face, sending him flying.

"puff!"

Kuafu was sent flying backwards and landed on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

I could feel my very soul trembling.

A look of bewilderment flashed across his eyes as he watched Wang Manghe and his group attacking him. Fortunately, Kuafu Chong managed to stop them with all his might, otherwise he would have been dead. A hint of fear appeared on his face.

Because he himself didn't even know when he had fallen into their trap!

Even Wang Manghe, whose strength and realm were lower than his own, how did he manage to control his mind?

At that moment, a sharp scream exploded in the air.

Chen Wanli suddenly turned around in mid-air and swung his axe with lightning speed.

The jade axe pierced Wang Manghe's waist.

His large, well-defined hands gripped Wang Manghe's shoulders tightly.

It was actually cut horizontally into two pieces.

Everyone watched this scene in horror. The three members of the Xiang Shou clan in the courtyard were so stunned that they forgot to continue setting up the formation.

Kuafu Chong took the opportunity to retreat and helped up Kuafu Yu, whose face was full of shock.

How did Chen Wanli so easily cleave through the wooden vine body that even the Soul-Devouring Blade couldn't break through?

Are humans stronger than me?

Chen Wanli landed lightly, looking at the "rotten wood" in his hand, his brows furrowed, revealing a hint of doubt.

His gaze then swept over the Dao Nascent Soul warriors of the Wang Mang clan.

The Dao Infant warriors of the Wang Mang clan were consciously trying to escape, and the panic in their eyes was unmistakable.

But in practice, they stood still and didn't move.

Even more extreme, some of them lunged at Chen Wanli to kill him.

Chen Wanli turned his head and casually reached out to grab his neck.

Lift it up completely and tighten your five fingers.

A surge of true energy erupted.

The guy forcefully tore at Chen Wanli's arm.

But Chen Wanli was prepared and wore the Demon Jade Silk Gloves, so he was naturally unable to budge them in the slightest.

The next second, the thing exploded completely, turning into wood chips everywhere.

Chen Wanli flung it away, and a look of realization flashed in his eyes.

Sure enough!

Kuafu Yu and Kuafu Chong, however, were even more confused.

What about Wang Manghe's primordial spirit?

Where is this guy's Dao Infant?

Chen Wanli glanced at the other experts from the Wang Mang clan.

Suddenly, they all fell backward at the same time, crashing to the ground with loud thuds, turning into wooden figures.

Kuafu Yu was stunned for a few seconds before asking, "What kind of supernatural power is this from the human race?"

Kuafu Chong: "???"

Such terrifying methods were unheard of in the Demon Cave.

So much so that they couldn't believe this was Wang Mang's doing.

"..."

Chen Wanli's lips twitched; he couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to these two idiots from the Kuafu clan.

His original plan was to have a ready-made meal.

However, the situation when the three of them left clearly showed that this Wood Spirit had hallucinogenic and mind-controlling abilities.

It could be spiritual tea, or it could be manipulated through other means.

At that time, Chen Wanli knew that the two Kuafu clan members were most likely not strong enough to defeat him, and at most they could only hold him back.

Of course, we wouldn't just let the two of them become consumables; we can't just use them up and throw them away!

After all, the gods don't have many Nascent Soul cultivators left, and they'll need them in the future!

He had no choice but to act rashly and take matters into his own hands.

Fortunately, thanks to the previous investigations and subsequent events, Chen Wanli had gained some understanding and speculation about this Wood Spirit.

This move also proved some of those points.

He unleashed his Yin-Yang Divine Eyes, golden light emanating from his eyes. Through the Yin-Yang firelight, he faintly caught sight of several ethereal figures.

The Dao Infant and Primordial Spirit rushed towards the small courtyard in the north of the city, following the vines.

It is parasitic.

The Dao infant and primordial spirit were parasitized on the year tree.

In some respects, it bears some resemblance to Chen Wanli's method of creating a golden body.

However, the Wang Mang clan's madness stemmed from the fact that the primordial spirits and Dao infants of most of the clan's experts had parasitized on the Suimu tree.

This is definitely not normal.

"Chen Shenzu, what, what exactly is going on?" Kuafu Chong couldn't help but ask.

Chen Wanli narrowed his eyes: "The entire clan's divine souls are residing on the Suimu tree. What do you think that means?"

"The entire clan parasitizes the tree? This..."

"Did the spirit of the Suimu tree corrupt the Wangmang clan?" Kuafu Chong guessed.

"I think it's Wang Mang who has corrupted the Sui Mu!"

Chen Wanli frowned, still not fully understanding their purpose.

Wang Mangcheng fell into a deathly silence.

He unleashed his Yin-Yang Divine Eyes and divine sense together.

It was as if everything had been frozen in time.

It made him feel an immense killing intent.

It's as if some ancient, ferocious beast is lurking, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.

No matter which direction—east, west, south, or north—the sense of danger did not diminish in the slightest.

What enormous monster is hidden within this vast city?

Chen Wanli even suspected that the "human face tree" he saw was not the actual tree.

Kuafu Chong and Kuafu Yu, both being Nascent Soul cultivators, sensed this extraordinary situation.

Kuafu Yu dared not be so arrogant anymore and looked at Chen Wanli, asking, "If the three of us join forces, do we have a chance of winning?"
