Chapter 1357: Unexpected Assistance
"Brother Jingzhen, Sister You Yue, this is a Demon King-level tree demon!
We’re probably no match for it. We need to retreat!
With the power of the Demon Warrior Legion, we should be able to break through in a certain direction, right?"
Huo Yang looked nervously at You Yue and Su Jingzhen.
You Yue’s expression was equally grave.
Su Jingzhen, however, remained calm.
Within the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, Mo Xuantian and Mo Xuanling were already on standby.
This tree demon might be a top-tier Demon King, but with Mo Xuantian and Mo Xuanling working together, even if they couldn’t defeat it, they should be able to ensure the Demon Warrior Legion’s safe retreat.
"Wife, Huo Yang, let’s wait and see for now."
As they spoke, the Demon King-level tree demon ahead grew even more ferocious.
The red and black lights enveloped the entire barrier area.
Wherever the two-colored light spread, the towering trees twisted and grew wildly, wrapping around and binding the Demon Warrior Legion!
"Demon Warrior Legion, prepare for battle!"
Seeing this, You Yue shouted sharply.
The aura of the Killing Intent Dragon grew even more powerful.
They were already close to the level of a genuine Demon King.
Although they might not be able to defeat the tree demon, You Yue believed they could still escape.
As soon as she finished speaking, the Killing Intent Dragon roared.
A killing intent energy ball shot forward, colliding with countless green vines.
The energy ball exploded, shattering the vines instantly.
However, under the tree demon’s influence, the towering trees continued to grow wildly, endlessly and relentlessly!
Even after the Killing Intent Dragon fired several energy balls, it was of no use.
Seeing this, Su Jingzhen’s expression turned serious.
He didn’t release Mo Xuantian and Mo Xuanling immediately.
Instead, dark golden flames suddenly rose from Su Jingzhen’s body.
The Nine-Colored Purifying Flame and the World-Suppressing Flame surged forth, directly igniting the forest ahead.
Wood meeting fire only made the flames burn brighter!
Moreover, these two flames were already incredibly powerful.
Now that Su Jingzhen had reached the Demon Sage Realm, the elemental advantage posed a threat even to a Demon King-level tree demon.
"Wife, have the Demon Warrior Legion coordinate with my flames. Use the legion’s energy to fuel them.
This might pose a threat to the tree demon."
At this moment, Su Jingzhen looked at You Yue and spoke.
Her eyes lit up.
She had already seen the level of the flames Su Jingzhen had conjured.
Without hesitation, the Killing Intent Dragon of the Demon Warrior Legion immediately coordinated with Su Jingzhen.
As the killing intent energy ball condensed, Su Jingzhen’s Nine-Colored Purifying Flame and World-Suppressing Flame flowed into the dragon’s mouth.
The Killing Intent Dragon then spat out a massive, blazing fireball, which shot toward the central red-and-black tree demon.
The power of this attack momentarily reached the level of a genuine Demon King.
"Just a slightly larger ant.
Since I’ve awakened and taken action personally, you might as well accept your fate and be lost here forever."
Seeing the fireball coming, the ten-thousand-foot-tall tree demon twisted its body.
Red and black energy formed an absolute barrier within a thousand feet of its body.
The red and black light instantly isolated the blazing energy of the fireball, posing no threat to it.
Seeing this, Su Jingzhen’s expression grew even more serious.
"It seems we’ll have to rely on those two after all."
As he muttered to himself, Huo Yang and You Yue grew even more terrified.
At that moment, the red and black lights on the ten-thousand-foot tree demon grew even brighter.
The red and black energy surged toward the Demon Warrior Legion like a tidal wave.
The power of this attack was suffocating.
Even the most confident members of the Demon Warrior Legion felt despair.
However, in the next moment, as the tree demon’s attack closed in on Su Jingzhen and the others, the energy barrier behind them suddenly shattered.
An extreme cold force swept in from behind, instantly neutralizing the tree demon’s attack.
As this cold force erupted, the entire area within the tree demon’s barrier was frozen solid!
This unexpected assistance came from a mysterious figure who also radiated the aura of a Demon King.
In an instant, the violent tree demon was restrained.
Seeing this, Su Jingzhen and the others were shocked.
Without hesitation, they took advantage of the moment the red-and-black barrier was broken to retreat quickly.
Soon, they were out of the range of the Demon King tree demon’s barrier.
Everyone in the Demon Warrior Legion was shaken.
Su Jingzhen, however, was deeply contemplative.
His concern wasn’t about the tree demon.
It was about the mysterious expert who had intervened at the critical moment.
Someone who could act at such a time and wield such icy power likely had no connection to the Divine Flame Family.
Thinking this, Su Jingzhen instinctively glanced at Huo Yang.
Before he could ask, Huo Yang spoke up, "Ice power of this level must belong to someone from the Heavenly Water Family!
Brother Jingzhen, Sister You Yue, we need to leave this place as quickly as possible.
If a Demon King from the Heavenly Water Family has arrived here first, they’re likely here specifically for our Demon Warrior Legion.
They might be even more dangerous than that tree demon."
"Ahhh!
Damnable Starry Sky Demons!
Since you’ve entered my domain, you shall all remain here forever!"
As Su Jingzhen and the others spoke, the cold, ancient voice of the tree demon rang out again, filled with endless fury.
A series of terrifying energy explosions followed.
The violent shockwaves swept through the vast Lost Forest.
Wherever the energy passed, the dense forest was reduced to dust!
Countless smaller tree demons were annihilated.
A battle between Demon Kings in the Lost Forest would inevitably cause massive damage to the forest itself.
The longer the fight lasted, the greater the losses for the Lost Forest.
However, Su Jingzhen and the others had no time to watch this Demon King-level battle.
In an instant, they had retreated over a hundred miles.
But then, another figure suddenly appeared on their retreat path.
"Heh, I wondered why we couldn’t find you Demon Warrior Legion no matter how hard we searched.
So you were hiding in the Lost Forest.
Now that I’ve found you, hand over everything you obtained from the trial grounds."
A cold voice rang out.
Su Jingzhen and the others looked over.
Blocking their path was none other than Han Che, the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Water Family, whom they had seen at the entrance of the trial grounds!
