Chapter 491: King of Treeman

The next day, the team was led by Zhang Ruochen. They walked into the depths of Blackwood Field. Soon, they met the pinnacle of the treeman tribe.

This treeman was 440 meters in height. It was absolutely monstrous.

It had lived for more than 3,400 years and its strength could be compared to a monk at the Third Change of the Fish-dragon realm. It was enough to be called “The King of Treemen”.

PFFT!

The King of Treemen was filled with anger when it saw Zhang Ruochen. It let out a furious roar, causing an absurd wind to blast through the mountains.

“Extraterritorial Death, you slaughtered the people of my tribe. Today, I shall tear you into pieces.”

News of the genocide of the treeman tribe had spread through the whole Blackwood Field.

The King of Treemen led two Millennial Treemen and a couple hundred Centurial Treemen to battle the Extraterritorial Death.

The King of Treemen did not know that Zhang Ruochen had come here to find it.

Killing this Treeman would earn him 100,000 military merits. Zhang Ruochen was excited thinking about the military merits he would earn.

Although the Third Change of the Fish-dragon Realm was only a realm above the Second Change, in reality there was actually a huge gap between them.

A superior like Pei Ji could defeat a Monk at the Second Change of the Fish-dragon Realm easily. But if he came head to head with a Monk at the Third Change, he would likely run for his life.

Zhang Ruochen had actually battled a Monk at the Third Change in the Fish-dragon Realm before. However he had borrowed the Sarira’s First Degree Sealing Power and managed to obtain a huge source of temporary power.

The Sarira’s First Degree Seal had been used and the power in it exhausted. If Zhang Ruochen wanted a similar power, he needed to break through the Fish-dragon Realm to unfold the Sarira’s Second Degree Seal.

This battle would be the first real deal. Whether he could defeat the King of Treemen or not was unknown.

When the battle broke out, the two Millennial Treemen behind the King of Treemen were the first to rush out and siege upon Zhang Ruochen.

Millennial Treeman who had lived for over 2,000 years were in line with Monks at the Second Change of the Fish-dragon Realm.

WOOSH!

One of the Millennial Treemen was holding seven vines. It struck them out like seven whips.

The vines were covered with a dazzling fire ray that emitted crackling sounds.

The vine was not something near ordinary. It was the Vine Monster for 1,000 years’ practice, the Fire Vine.

The power of seven Fire Vines in addition to the power of the Millennial Treemen, was a mighty destructive force. Even a dozen-meter tall stone wall would collapse instantly after one strike.

Zhang Ruochen cast bodily movements to dodge the vines.

Suddenly, he rushed forward. He changed forms several times and penetrated through the seven vines. He landed on one of the Millennial Treeman’s branches.

“Go to hell.”

The seven Fire Vines were like seven spiritual Fire Cobras. They shuttled through the branches and bound Zhang Ruochen’s hands and legs.

The vines grew tighter. He was completely entangled.

The Millennial Treeman laughed loudly. It was controlling dozen sharp branches. The branches were like spears, their sharp tips stabbing and piercing.

Suddenly, there was a loud shredding sound in the vines. A sword radiance beamed out and let out a great amount of sword Qi.

SWISH!

The Fire Vines were torn to pieces, scattering everywhere.

Holding the Abyss Ancient Sword, Zhang Ruochen ascended into thin air. He turned his body swiftly and pierced the Millennial Treeman with a shredding sound.

The Millennial Treeman was split in half. It fell in two pieces, blood streaming out like it was raining blood. The ground was stained crimson.

The other Millennial Treeman was stunned to witness just how fearsome the Extraterritorial Death was. “King of Treemen! The Extraterritorial Death is too terrifying!”

“What? Move out of the way, I’ll battle him.”

The King of Treemen was fast. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Zhang Ruochen. He waved his two thick-as-millstone branches and attacked.

Zhang Ruochen leapt through the branches and flew up. “The defensive power of the treeman tribe is indeed powerful, but the attack power is feeble. King of Treemen, you are no match for me.”

“Damn Extraterritorial Death, you are too fast!”

The King of Treemen felt an enormous pressure. Not only did it move its branches, even its roots were mobilized. It was as if it had turned into a thousand handed giant, launching an unstoppable siege towards Zhang Ruochen.

Although the King of Treemen did not practice martial techniques, it had been living for more than 3,000 years. Surely it had a strong sense regarding the law of Heaven and Earth. Its attack was packed with purpose and lethality.

“That’s why he is the King of Treemen. His attack power really packs a punch.”

Zhang Ruochen chose not to compete with the King of Treemen with power. Instead he executed multiple cuts with his sword. He intended to chop its branches and roots with the sharp Abyss Ancient Sword.

However, the King of Treemen had a trick up its sleeve. Its every attack evaded the sword edge and launched a direct attack towards Zhang Ruochen.

“The only option left is the Sword Defending Technique.”

Zhang Ruochen struck out with the Abyss Ancient Sword. The sword passed through the branches and hit the trunk.

BAM!

A root as thick as a water bucket emerged from the earth and struck the back of the Abyss Ancient Sword. The sword was knocked out of his hand.

Zhang Ruochen snorted and stuck out one finger. He circulated Spiritual Power and pointed to the King of Treemen.

WHOOSH!

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi immediately formed into streaks of purple lightning. The lightning streaks connected, forging one giant streak. It pierced through the sky and struck the King of Treemen.

The King of Treemen let out a scream of pain. It was already burned black.

The King of Treemen attacked with its branches and roots. Its movements became languid.

Zhang Ruochen seized the opportunity and rushed under the King of Treemen.

SWOOSH!

The Abyss Ancient Sword returned to his hand.

Without hesitation, Zhang Ruochen rushed through with his sword. He chopped the King of Treemen’s trunk in half.

“Nooooo!”

The King of Treemen roared. Just before he died, he controlled his two roots and attacked Zhang Ruochen in the chest.

BANG! BANG!

The King of Treemen’s dying counterattack contained an entire lifetime’s worth of power. It pierced through both his Celestial Bodyshield and the defensive power of the Dragon Pearl. He began to vomit blood.

Zhang Ruochen bent over, pressing his chest. Streams of blood flew from his mouth. He felt piercing pain in his five internal organs and six hollow organs. The sensation was like fire burning deep within.

“I’m too reckless!” he said, coughing. “The King of Treemen’s strength is out of this world. I didn’t expect him to counterattack before dying. I will not repeat this mistake. Thankfully I have the blessing from the Dragon Pearl, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. Good lord, I still killed the King of Treemen and got 100,000 military merits.”

Zhang Ruochen coughed twice; more blood came out of his mouth.

When the Millennial Treeman saw that Zhang Ruochen was seriously injured, it charged towards him. There was no better time than this to kill the Extraterritorial Death.

SWOOSH!

It swung its thickest branch at his head.

Zhang Ruochen condensed his eyes and suppressed the injury. He executed a sword Qi and chopped the branch off.

It extended another two branches and continued to attack.

“How dare you do that when I am here!”

Black light emitted from Blackie’s body. It expanded larger and larger.

Blackie grew to 33 meters tall and sported two huge wings. It was like a small black mountain with sharp claws and teeth.

SWOOSH!

Blackie claws extended and grabbed the Millennial Treeman out of the ground. “Kacha”. A bite on the Millennial Treeman broke the treeman’s trunk into half.

Then it swallowed the entire Millennial Treeman.

The Orange Star Emissary was extremely shocked at what she had just witnessed. “This… But this is just a savage beast.”

After shape shifting, Blackie looked nothing like a cat anymore; it looked like a Mythical Beast of Reckless Waste. It raised its head like a ravenous beast and took a step large enough to cross a river.

With eyes enraged like Thunder Bolts, it roared fiercely, “Treat me as a weakling, I’ll show you my true powers.”

Zhang Ruochen set his sight somewhere further in the distance. He saw a dark forest charging in their direction like a tidal wave.

“We have to leave immediately,” he said. “A hoard of treemen are coming and there are many Millennial Treemen. If we are surrounded, there is no way out.”

“Leave, quickly!”

Blackie’s aura disappeared instantly.

Its body shrank back to its original size. It turned into a dark Shadow and fled.

“Group Leader, let me take the honor of carrying you since you are injured,” Ao Xinyan said with concern.

Zhang Ruochen shook his head. “I’m fine. Take the Orange Star Emissary. We don’t have to fight the treemen, let’s get out of here.”

Zhang Ruochen ran his Genuine Qi to protect his traumatized internal organs. He cast a bodily movement and raced out.

BOOM!

An earth shattering sound came from the forest.

Thousands of treemen rushed forward. They stopped.

The five treemen who led the team were a major force on their own. They were Kings of Treemen and had lived for 3,000 years.

“We’re late,” one said. “The Extraterritorial Death murdered the Tower Treeman King.”

“Damn! Chase them! We must eliminate the Extraterritorial Death for good. Or else chaos will set upon the treeman tribe.”

The treeman army continued their hunt.
