Chapter 1360: Four Against One
Within the Lost Forest, Mo Xuantian, Mo Xuanling, and the tree demon were now cooperating with surprising tacit understanding.
From Mo Xuantian and Mo Xuanling’s hands, an endless stream of mysterious and powerful mechanical puppets surged forth.
Meanwhile, behind the tree demon, countless small tree demons at the Demon General Realm level charged forward fearlessly, self-destructing as they clung to the Heavenly Water Family’s Demon King!
This brutal and tragic method of fighting was both fierce and devastating.
The old man from the Heavenly Water Family was already struggling.
After dozens of exchanges, his aura had noticeably weakened.
He was now considering retreat.
After all, facing three opponents at once, if he forced himself to continue, he might truly be in mortal danger.
In his mind, as long as he could lock onto Su Jingzhen’s location, he could momentarily break free from Mo Xuantian and the others and strike directly at Su Jingzhen.
At the beginning, when he had saved Su Jingzhen and the others from the tree demon in the deepest part of the Lost Forest, he hadn’t anticipated such a troublesome situation.
After all, at that time, if he had directly killed Su Jingzhen and the others, obtaining the core energy from the trial grounds wouldn’t have been so straightforward.
However, even with his divine consciousness conducting a carpet-like search, he still couldn’t detect where Su Jingzhen and the others were.
At this moment, Su Jingzhen was perched on a dense tree branch.
His body was enveloped by the intense world power of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, which naturally shielded him from the divine consciousness of a Demon King-level expert.
"Regardless of where you come from, my Heavenly Water Family will remember this!"
After exchanging a fierce blow with Mo Xuantian, the old man from the Heavenly Water Family took a few steps back.
He glared at Mo Xuantian and the others as he spoke.
Then, the void behind him twisted, forming a spatial tunnel.
He was about to leave.
But before he could enter the tunnel, a fiery golden flame appeared at the entrance.
A simple fireball passed through, and the tunnel instantly disintegrated.
At the same time, a massive flame barrier formed within a hundred-mile radius.
Then, the Fire Pupil Demon King, who looked like a youthful boy with red lips and white teeth, suddenly appeared on the scene.
Upon entering the Lost Forest, he had immediately assessed the situation.
Although he didn’t recognize Mo Xuantian and Mo Xuanling, he knew this was a rare opportunity for the Divine Flame Family.
If they could permanently eliminate the old man from the Heavenly Water Family here, the endless conflict between the Heavenly Water Family and the Divine Flame Family would finally reach a decisive conclusion.
He naturally wouldn’t let such an opportunity slip by.
"Shui Fu, you old fool, even you have come out.
The Lost Forest is a fine place to bury your bones. Stay here."
The Fire Pupil Demon King sneered.
Without hesitation, he attacked!
Flames erupted from his body.
With a wave of his hand, a fiery red sun seemed to rise behind him.
The pressure it exuded caused even Mo Xuantian, Mo Xuanling, and the tree demon to feel a hint of fear.
As one of the Ten Great Demon Kings of the Starry Sky Demons, the Fire Pupil Demon King was among the top-tier Demon Kings.
His strength was naturally a cut above the rest.
The sudden appearance of the Fire Pupil Demon King made the old man, Shui Fu, even more grim.
A sense of foreboding crept into his heart.
A mist of water vapor began to emanate from his body, and the void around him filled with a dense fog.
Seeing this, the Fire Pupil Demon King frowned slightly but then smiled again.
"Why struggle so much?
The conflict between your Heavenly Water Family and my Divine Flame Family has lasted for countless ages. It’s time to bring it to an end."
As he spoke, the fiery sun behind him slammed down toward Shui Fu.
At the same time, Mo Xuantian, Mo Xuanling, and the tree demon, though shocked, immediately coordinated their attacks.
Mo Xuantian and Mo Xuanling unleashed their powerful mechanical puppets once more, as if they were free.
The tree demon condensed its red and black light into a massive energy ball, which it hurled at Shui Fu.
With four powerful Demon Kings attacking simultaneously, the destructive force was apocalyptic.
If not for the fact that cultivators at their level had near-perfect control over their power, ensuring no energy was wasted, the entire Lost Forest might have been reduced to rubble.
From a distance, Su Jingzhen, who had been observing the battle, felt a wave of relief upon seeing the Fire Pupil Demon King’s arrival.
He knew that even if the Heavenly Water Family’s Demon King didn’t die today, he would at least be severely injured.
Under the combined assault of the four, the mist around Shui Fu grew denser.
Soon, it condensed into a single drop of azure water.
Then, the attacks of the four struck that spot.
The void shattered.
A storm of chaotic void energy surged forth.
After the four powerful energies dissipated, the void gradually repaired itself.
Shui Fu’s figure was nowhere to be seen.
"Where did that old man go? Did he turn to dust?"
Seeing this, Mo Xuantian couldn’t help but ask.
The Fire Pupil Demon King frowned.
"That old man managed to escape after all.
Shui Fu has been a Demon King for countless ages.
He has countless life-saving methods. It was unlikely we could have destroyed him so easily.
However, even if he’s not dead, he’s severely injured.
He won’t dare show his face for a while."
As the Fire Pupil Demon King spoke, there was a hint of regret in his tone.
Meanwhile, the tree demon was still stomping around, its aura wildly chaotic.
"Where is the Heavenly Water Family?
I swear I’ll uproot the Heavenly Water Family!"
The red and black light around it burned fiercely.
Hearing this, Su Jingzhen, who had been about to reveal himself, hesitated once more.
"Is this tree demon really that vengeful?
But this time, the Lost Forest has suffered too much."
Su Jingzhen muttered to himself.
He then quietly sent a message to the Fire Pupil Demon King using his own method before slipping out of the Lost Forest.
Given the tree demon’s attitude, it would undoubtedly target the Heavenly Water Family next.
There was no need for Su Jingzhen to try and convince the Fire Pupil Demon King and Mo Xuantian to kill the tree demon.
After all, if they couldn’t eliminate it completely, letting it escape would bring endless trouble to the Divine Flame Family.
"The Heavenly Water Family is known throughout the central region.
If you wish to cause trouble for them, you can easily find them once you leave."
The Fire Pupil Demon King had witnessed the tree demon’s combat prowess.
Having such an enemy would be a significant threat to the Heavenly Water Family.
As soon as the Fire Pupil Demon King finished speaking, the light around the tree demon grew even more intense.
It became like a small sun.
Then, its ten-thousand-foot-tall tree body vanished.
In its place stood a hunched old man with red and black hair.
He clasped his hands toward Mo Xuantian, Mo Xuanling, and the Fire Pupil Demon King, then stepped forward and left the Lost Forest.
