Reborn as a tree, the peerless god is obsessed

Xue Yao, who was on an adventure in a valley, was concentrating on fighting monsters. She was unaware of Ling Ziqian's arrival, and she was even less aware that he had quietly left without showing up.

Although Xue Yao was fully focused on the battle in front of her, she felt a hint of unease deep down in her heart.

She knew that this feeling did not come from the monster in front of her, but from a deeper intuition.

She swung her sword to cut off the monster's attack while trying to find the source of the uneasiness.

Meanwhile, Ling Ziqian was still worried about Xueyao in the main hall. He knew that he couldn't let his personal feelings affect the overall situation, but Xueyao's safety was always a lingering concern in his heart.

After thinking about it, he still felt that even if he had to face his inner struggle, he could not completely ignore Xueyao's safety.

Ling Ziqian unfolded the scroll again and carefully studied the movements of the dark forces.

Since the activities of these forces may be related to the secret of the heart-shaped jade pendant, he must find the jade pendant as soon as possible to prevent the dark forces from using it to cause greater disasters.

He took a deep breath, temporarily putting aside his personal feelings, and silently said in his heart, "Xueyao, wait for me."

Then, he transformed into a stream of light and flew towards where the dark forces might be hiding, determined to uncover the truth behind it all and protect everything he cherished.

What he didn't know was that when he quietly left the valley, a pair of eyes were staring at him from the other direction of the valley.

In the valley, this time, Xue Yao and the others were surrounded by monsters, and the situation was more dangerous than ever before.

These monsters were like possessed, constantly attacking them with the intent of killing them.

Xueyao used the communication method that had always worked in the past, but unexpectedly found that it didn't work this time.

These monsters seemed to have lost their minds and no longer responded to her calls.

She realized that there must be some powerful force controlling them.

Xue Yao gripped the sword tightly, ready for a tougher battle.

At the same time, after the Demon King learned about it, he instantly jumped up and flew rapidly in the sky. His heart was full of worry about Xue Yao.

He knew he had to rush to the scene as quickly as possible to completely resolve this crisis. He constantly urged his magic power to speed up, silently chanting Xue Yao's name in his heart, "Don't worry, I'm here."

While flying, he had already cast some spells to mobilize some monsters around him that could hide their bodies and go with him.

Suddenly, a rapid shout rang in his ears. It was the voice of his personal guard Chi Han.

"Your Majesty, there is movement ahead!" Chi Han reported nervously.

The Demon King frowned. He could feel an unusual aura in the air ahead, which was the dark power he was familiar with.

He immediately realized that the crisis was far more complicated than he had imagined.

"Pass the order down, all monsters prepare for battle!" The demon king's voice revealed unquestionable determination.

Chi Han took the order and left, while the Demon King sped up. He had only one thought in his mind, to protect Xue Yao at all costs.

At the same time, Xue Yao was fighting fiercely with monsters in the valley.

She held the Ice Soul in her hand, and the ice-blue sword danced in her hand as if it had a spirit. Every swing brought with it a biting chill, freezing the besieging monsters one by one.

Xue Yao's posture was like a dancer as she moved among the group of monsters. Her swordsmanship was both elegant and deadly, and every strike was extremely precise.

However, as time went on, Xueyao felt her strength gradually depleted, and the number of monsters seemed endless, coming in waves. She knew that if she could not find a breakthrough as soon as possible, she and her companions would be in dire straits.

In order to protect her companions, she has put herself in danger several times.

When the demon king arrived, he saw this scene.

Xue Yao protected her companions behind her and was fighting with several ferocious monsters in a fierce battle. Her swordsmanship was sharp and each of her swords accurately hit the monsters' vital points.

Despite this, the sheer number of monsters was overwhelming, and she was gradually feeling overwhelmed. Her companions nervously watched the battle, knowing that if Xueyao fell, none of them would be spared.

At this moment, a dazzling light streaked across the sky and fell like a meteor.

In the light, a figure could be vaguely seen, holding a long sword, rushing towards the group of monsters with great momentum.

Without thinking, Xue Yao knew who the visitor was just by looking at the heroic masked face.

"Demon King!" Xue Yao's heart leaped with joy, recognizing the familiar figure. The Demon King descended like a god, his sword flashing as demonic beasts retreated wherever they touched.

The Demon King's arrival seemed to infuse Xueyao with new strength. She stood back to back with the Demon King, fending off the monster's attacks together. Their swordplay was seamless, neutralizing the monster's attacks one by one.

Seeing this, Xue Yao's companions also became excited. They knew that with the addition of the Demon King, the situation of the battle would change completely.

Outside them, the monsters brought by the Demon King were also fighting with the possessed monsters that kept trying to attack Xue Yao and the others.

The Demon King was furious. Even though these demon beasts were his kind, or rather, all under his jurisdiction, they would pay the price for harming Xue Yao, regardless of the reason.

Let these monsters suffer first. As for the manipulator behind them, huh, how could he let him go?

Just wait, if he lets them go, he will no longer be the demon king of this heaven.

His swordsmanship was extremely sharp, and each of his sword strikes carried a force that could crush everything in his path. The monsters fell to the ground like paper under his sword.

Of course, he had a good sense of proportion. These possessed monsters did not die under his sword, but were seriously injured.

Similarly, the monsters that Xue Yao knocked down also left them with a glimmer of hope.

While fighting with the monsters, he kept an eye on Xue Yao.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of an extremely ferocious monster rushing towards Xue Yao with the intention of dying together.

Without caring about the monsters around him, he flashed in front of Xue Yao.

He put one hand around Xueyao's waist and thrust the sword backwards with the other. With a "puff" sound, the ferocious monster became motionless.

Looking at the masked face from such a close distance, Xue Yao was so handsome that she couldn't take her eyes off it.

After a long time, the Demon King let go of Xue Yao, who still felt uncomfortable.

Afterwards, they fought side by side, and Xueyao felt an unprecedented power surging within her body. She knew that this was the power of the Demon King being transmitted to her through some mysterious connection.

The tacit cooperation between the two made the monsters' offensive weaker and weaker. Finally, the last wave of monsters was completely defeated by their joint efforts.

After the battle, the valley was filled with blood and cold air. Xue Yao looked at the Demon King with gratitude in her eyes.

The demon king smiled slightly and asked with concern: "Fairy Xueyao, are you okay?"

Xue Yao smiled and shook her head. Although she was physically exhausted, she inexplicably didn't want the Demon King to worry about her.

"Demon King, why are you here?" Xue Yao asked with some confusion.

"I sensed your danger and came here immediately." There was a hint of guilt in the Demon King's voice, but more of it was determination.

Xueyao felt warm in her heart. So, the Demon King came here specially to save her?

At the same time, she felt somewhat puzzled.

Wasn't it just because of Bai Yichen that he accepted his invitation? Why would the Demon King be so angry?

Why would he help me like this?

There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. What is he trying to achieve by helping me like this?
