Chapter 2435 - 2435 Signs of Die Yue

2435 Signs of Die Yue

In the courtyard in the middle of the hall, Su Zimo had just helped Tao Yao down when he felt a commotion behind him.

“Mmm?”

He swept his gaze and could not help but fly into a rage!

At that moment, everything was in chaos. The Immortal Peach Tree in the courtyard extended countless branches and coiled in the direction of him and Tao Yao.

The Immortal Peach Tree was still trying to absorb Tao Yao’s blood!

Su Zimo conjured a sword art and slashed in reverse.

Pfft!

Dozens of peach blossom branches were severed from the middle.

Scarlet blood splattered from the peach blossom branches!

A jarring cry of pain sounded from the body of the Immortal Peach Tree, as though ghosts were crying.

Under the continuous nourishment of Tao Yao’s blood, the Immortal Peach Tree gradually gained sentience.

“How dare you act so brazenly, demon tree!”

Su Zimo’s expression was cold as he prepared to step forward and uproot the Immortal Peach Tree.

Tao Yao, who was initially in his embrace, tugged at his sleeves gently and whispered, “Young Master, leave it to me.”

“You?”

Su Zimo frowned slightly and was worried when he saw Tao Yao’s weak state.

Tao Yao did not reply and forced himself to stand up, extending his hands.

Suddenly, his fingers transformed into peach blossom branches that extended towards the Immortal Peach Tree and pierced into the other party’s body!

Tao Yao closed his eyes and circulated his Dharmic Dao, murmuring softly, “You’ve eaten so much of my blood all these years. It’s time to return it.”

He was absorbing the life essence of the Immortal Peach Tree!

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

The Immortal Peach Tree swayed wildly and its body swayed. A sharp cry sounded from its body, as though it was struggling to resist.

As time passed by, the trunk and branches of the Immortal Peach Tree dried up.

However, Tao Yao’s condition gradually recovered and the flesh on his body filled up while his face regained some color.

Poof! Poof! Poof!

Right then, the blood peaches condensed on the Immortal Peach Tree exploded and spilled Essence Blood.

The aura of the Immortal Peach Tree surged and it wanted to make use of the Essence Blood to retaliate and devour Tao Yao’s bloodline and life essence!

Tao Yao’s body swayed and he nearly fell.

The Dharmic Dao in his body circulated and his figure vanished. On the spot, the appearance of a peach blossom tree appeared, similar to the courtyard back in Ping Yang Town.

All these years, he had been imprisoned and restrained—his body was truly in a terrible condition.

Su Zimo frowned and was prepared to attack at any moment to interrupt the process.

At most, he would destroy the Immortal Peach Tree!

Both parties were in a stalemate for a moment.

Suddenly!

A blurry phantom appeared beneath the peach blossom tree that Tao Yao had transformed into. Its features could not be seen but one could vaguely recognize that it was a woman. The scarlet blood-colored robe she wore was a little striking.

Su Zimo shuddered.

In a daze, he seemed to have returned to that night in Tianhuang Mainland’s Ping Yang Town. The moonlight was clear as water and peach blossoms fell one after another. The woman stood beneath the peach blossom tree and there seemed to be a mist around her, as though she was a fairy that had descended to the mortal world.

It was that night that the woman imparted the Dao beneath the peach blossom tree and brought him onto the path of cultivation.

Tao Yao gained sentience thanks to Die Yue’s guidance. At this critical juncture when Dharmic Daos interweaved, the situation of that night was actually condensed!

Although Die Yue did not reveal her true appearance and merely had her back facing the Immortal Peach Tree not far away, the Dharmic Dao around the Immortal Peach Tree collapsed instantly when that figure appeared!

A whimper sounded from the Immortal Peach Tree before it went silent and gave up on resisting.

Phew!

A tremendous amount of lifeforce essence surged into Tao Yao’s body continuously.

Tao Yao’s aura rose rapidly.

As for the Immortal Peach Tree, it aged rapidly and its leaves withered. They fell one after another with a lifeless aura.

On the battlefield in midair, Song Xuan sensed the commotion in the middle of the hall and suddenly recalled that he had a hostage in his hands.

Since Desolate Martial of the Fiend Domain was willing to come here alone for Tao Yao, it was clear that this Dao child was extremely important to this person.

If he captured Tao Yao, it would be equivalent to capturing this person’s weakness!

However, right now, his and Young Master Lan Tian’s auras and figures were completely locked onto by the Martial Dao Prime Body. They did not even dare to be distracted, let alone escape.

He could only give orders to others.

“Jiang Xuanyou, hurry and get everyone to capture that Dao child!”

Song Xuan shouted loudly but he was still staring fixedly at the Martial Dao Prime Body, afraid that the latter would suddenly attack him.

Jiang Xuanyou and the others understood and turned around hurriedly, charging towards Tao Yao.

“Hmph!”

Sweeping his gaze, the Martial Dao Prime Body channeled his Essence Spirit and conjured hand seals repeatedly.

Swish!

Suddenly, scarlet flames burst forth from the bodies of Jiang Xuanyou and the other Perfected Immortal experts and engulfed their bodies from the inside out.

“Ah! Ah! Ahhhh!”

Everyone grabbed their bodies repeatedly and let out tragic cries.

Someone released divine powers and secret skills hurriedly.

However, the spread of divine powers fueled the flames instead. Scarlet flames spewed continuously from his mouth, nose, eyes and ears.

In the blink of an eye, human-shaped fireballs appeared in the hall!

Within a few breaths, someone’s Essence Spirit was already burned to death, leaving only a strange scarlet lotus flower imprint on the spot.

“Red Lotus Karmic Fire!”

Song Xuan exclaimed with a terrible expression when he saw the imprint.

Of course, most Perfected Immortal experts could still defend against the impact of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire using their cultivation by condensing True Essence and activating their Dao Fruits.

However, everyone could barely fend for themselves and nobody had the time to bother about Tao Yao.

Gu Xiu looked at the flames in the hall and the corpses strewn everywhere—he was already so scared that he wanted to retreat.

The moment that thought crossed his mind, his eyelids twitched and he felt a strong sense of danger!

“This is bad!”

Gu Xiu’s heart skipped a beat. Without hesitation, he shifted the Solitary Cloud Peak to shield himself.

Indeed, the Martial Dao Prime Body had already charged over.

Boom!

Against the Solitary Cloud Peak, the Martial Dao Prime Body did not dodge or avoid and punched!

Although he was separated by the Solitary Cloud Peak, Gu Xiu could still sense the shocking divine power released by the punch of the Martial Dao Prime Body!

The Solitary Cloud Peak was a Pure Yang Spirit Treasure after all and neutralized most of the power of the Martial Dao Prime Body’s punch.

Even so, Gu Xiu shuddered and his arms went numb, losing all feeling.

Just as he was about to escape, the second punch of the Martial Dao Prime Body descended!

Boom!

Helpless, Gu Xiu could only support the Solitary Cloud Peak and defend against this second attack.

Boom!

The Martial Dao Prime Body attacked once more.

The third punch arrived!

When the punch landed on the Solitary Cloud Peak, the Martial Dao Prime Body did not linger and turned to leave without even looking at Gu Xiu.

Gu Xiu stood motionlessly in midair with both hands propping up the Solitary Cloud Peak.

The next moment, his gaze dimmed and his lifeforce drained rapidly, dying on the spot!

The man and mountain peak fell together.

Three punches!

Although he used a Nine Tribulations Pure Yang Spirit Treasure to defend, Gu Xiu could not defend against three punches and died on the spot!
