Chapter 275: Chapter 275: The Tree Demon Transforms and Schemes Against Lu Chen!

"They must have been injured by the overpowering Wood Spirit Power here!"

In front of a tree and a person, Lu Chen was extremely cautious and did not rashly advance to strike.

The Core Formation Stage was very strong, something Lu Chen had personally experienced.

And the tree demon capable of arm wrestling with the Xuanji Sect Master was similarly formidable.

Fortunately, the space here had collapsed, all the trees and dead leaves had turned into nothingness, even the Wood Spirit Power was gone.

This was the confidence that allowed Lu Chen to step forward.

And the reason he didn’t immediately make a move was also because his Wood Spirit Power, lacking enough killing intent and instead full of vitality.

He needed to transform the Wood Spirit Power back into the Five Elements Spiritual Power to avoid messing things up!

"Master, who do we kill first!"

The Spear Spirit was uninhibited.

When Lu Chen had protected him in the past, the Spear Spirit had acknowledged that Lu Chen was someone who could take him out.

He put Lu Chen first in everything.

Like this kind of Spiritual Body.

The instincts to pursue benefit and avoid harm were keener than those of ordinary beings.

Therefore, at this moment, he only wanted to leave this flawed Five Elements formation as quickly as possible with Lu Chen!

As long as they killed the one person and one demon in front of them, only the last part of the formation would remain.

"Kill him first!"

Compared to the rest, the Xuanji Sect Master posed a greater threat. Lu Chen’s gaze retracted and locked onto the lower abdomen of the Xuanji Sect Master.

In the Core Formation Stage, it was about condensing the platform into a core!

Destroy the Golden Core, and she would surely die without a doubt!

"Master, get ready!"

The Spear Spirit feared that Lu Chen would be distracted and hurriedly reminded him.

"I know!"

Lu Chen took a deep breath, then condensed Spiritual Power in his palm, transferring it to the long spear!

Inside the Dantian, a storm was brewing; a verdant color swirled around his platform, which was like a long spear. Starting from the bottom and spiraling up to the tip of the spear!

Until all the Spiritual Power was transformed into the grey-white power of the Five Elements, Lu Chen finally thrust his spear forward!

"Heavenly Inquiry Spear Technique... Immortal Guides the Way!"

This thrust gathered all the Spiritual Power at the tip of the spear.

Lu Chen wanted to destroy the Xuanji Sect Master’s Dantian in one strike, and this move was more than appropriate!

As the long spear was thrust out, with the aid of the Spear Spirit, the spear tip, carrying massive Spiritual Power, struck right in the middle of the lower abdomen!

"Ah!"

The Xuanji Sect Master, who had been unconscious, was instantly awakened by the pain. She arched her body from head to toe, her eyes flung open, and when she saw it was Lu Chen, she was filled with inexplicable fear and shock!

He...

He actually dared to come up and harm me!

"Lu... Lu Chen!"

The Xuanji Sect Master roared in anger, but could not utter another word!

The long spear penetrated her body, nailing her to the dark and empty ground!

Thump!

A crisp sound.

The Xuanji Sect Master’s head fell powerlessly, and her feet also hit the ground.

A pair of eyes stared resentfully at Lu Chen, then dimmed into lifelessness.

Her spirit dissipated, her life and Dao extinguished, the Xuanji Sect Master... dead!

Lu Chen pulled out the long spear, then turned his attention to the tree demon!

But instantly, his expression changed!

He saw that the tree demon had transformed into a human form, watching Lu Chen with a guarded expression!

"You can actually transform into a human?"

Lu Chen was surprised, but did not dare to be negligent. He was extremely wary in his heart, thinking that if the tree demon had made a move just now, he might also have ended up dead...

However.

The tree demon, for some reason, had not made a move!

"I have long been capable of transforming into a human form! It’s just that being human is disadvantageous for me!"

That was the truth from the tree demon. Among demons, the larger the body size, the stronger the power.

The Black Jiao serpent was an exception.

Yet advantages come with disadvantages.

A large body size was not flexible enough.

The forest here had vanished, and the tree demon had nothing to use. If Lu Chen attacked him, his target would be too large.

"Then why have you transformed into a human form now?"

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes, figuring out the crucial point, but still asked as if he was unaware.

"Human boy," the tree demon spoke gravely, "I have no grudges against you. You also came here for the Breath Soil, didn’t you? Now that the Breath Soil has been obtained by you, I won’t ask for it back! How about this, you walk your sunny path, and I’ll cross my log bridge, alright?"

The tree demon’s words made Lu Chen startle.

But recalling how the tree demon had deceived the Xuanji Sect Master, he became even more vigilant.

However.

This also revealed something.

The tree demon had run out of tricks!

"I don’t want to make things difficult for you; it was you who wanted to kill me all along!"

Lu Chen pretended to put away the long spear and took two steps backward.

"Human boy," the tree demon said, "if I wanted your spear, would you give it to me?"

"Of course, not."

Lu Chen said as a matter of course.

"So you see, the Breath Soil was originally mine. You took it, so naturally, I wanted to take it back! But now, I don’t want the Breath Soil anymore, so we have no reason for conflict! There’s no need for me to take action against you! Of course, I also don’t have the strength to do so! Let’s part ways here, how about it?"

The tree demon seemed sincere.

But he had no idea that Lu Chen was using the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique.

He saw a flicker of murderous intent in his eyes!

"Good."

Lu Chen agreed straightforwardly, turning his body away.

It was at this moment when the tree demon made his move!

He suddenly extended his right hand, turning it into a sharp, withered branch, and thrust it straight at Lu Chen’s back!
