Chapter 1654 Spectacular
“Could it be…” Lin Qiye seemed to have realized something, his eyes emitting a faint light.
“Brother Qiye, what should we do next?”
“Since we’ve found its true form, we naturally need to stop it, but before that, I need to verify something.” Lin Qiye raised his hand, and a broken sword fell into his palm, which he then handed to Wu Quan.
“This is…”
“Control this sword to remotely cut open those pustules on the tree trunk.”
“Pustules?” Wu Quan took the Amenohabakiri sword and nodded, “Alright.”
He lightly tossed the Amenohabakiri sword, which immediately transformed into a streak of light, rushing toward the massive willow tree that was slowly moving. The sharp blade easily cut open a pustule, and a large amount of dark yellow viscous liquid poured out from the wound!
Vaguely, a human form wrapped in the liquid flowed out from the tree trunk along with it!
Jie—!!!
A piercing roar came from the top of the willow tree, and its enormous body immediately shuddered violently as if in pain. Countless willow branches instantly locked onto the Amenohabakiri sword circling in the air, surging toward it like a swarm of snakes!
Under Wu Quan’s control, the Amenohabakiri sword quickly spun back, cutting down several willow branches in succession, forcefully breaking through the encirclement and flying toward the sky!
“Save that person!”
Following Lin Qiye’s order, Wu Quan raised his other hand, and the human form falling with the pus suddenly paused, then flew directly toward Lin Qiye.
At this moment, the advantage of [Emperor of Domination] became apparent – its near-omnipotent control on the battlefield could perfectly adapt to any situation, gaining the upper hand whether attacking or defending.
Under Wu Quan’s control, the person floated down in front of Lin Qiye. It was an ordinary soldier wearing armor. Although Lin Qiye didn’t recognize him, judging from his attire, he was indeed a member of the expeditionary force.
Lin Qiye reached out to check his breathing. Though extremely weak, he was still alive.
“Although his life force has been depleted somewhat, he’s not dead… It seems this Ke-system creature is using some method to gradually devour their lives.” Lin Qiye pondered, “These people are like soil, having their nutrients absorbed by the willow tree. If we were any later, they would probably have been drained dry.”
“Brother Qiye, it has discovered us,” Wu Quan’s voice was extremely solemn.
Lin Qiye looked up and saw that the enormous willow tree had turned its body. The ends of some willow branches raised up, with hundreds of eyeballs staring intently at the two of them. Following a sharp screech, countless willow branches howled toward them!
Lin Qiye stood up, slowly clenching his fists. An invisible vortex of air spread around him, with crackling sounds coming from within his body.
“Protect yourself and cover me.”
After Lin Qiye calmly instructed, in the next moment, he stomped forcefully on the ground, creating an exaggerated crater. A visible Mach ring exploded as he instantly flew to the upper half of the willow tree!
His speed was so fast that the countless willow branches couldn’t even react in time. As his fist raised high, a deafening boom echoed through the smoke!
Boom—!!!
This giant willow tree, whose size was tens of thousands of times larger than Lin Qiye, was sent reeling backward by his single punch. The countless human legs at its base frantically stepped back to barely maintain balance. A terrifying fist crater was deeply imprinted on the trunk.
Seeing this, Lin Qiye slightly furrowed his brow.
He had always found it difficult to gauge the realm of Ke-system creatures. Although their emitted aura could roughly be classified using Earth’s realm system, at the same level, Ke-system creatures were far stronger than Earth’s counterparts.
In terms of mythological systems, the three pillar gods of the Ke-system should correspond to Earth’s “Supreme” realm, but whether it was [Black Goat], [Key to the Gate], or [Chaos], none could be dealt with by a single Supreme God. Even to kill [Black Goat], it required the combined efforts of three Heavenly Venerable and Michael.
The willow tree before him, though its aura was comparable to a human ceiling, ordinary human ceilings could hardly withstand Lin Qiye’s punch head-on.
The good news was that this willow tree’s ability seemed to focus more on “replication.” It could perfectly replicate an [Emperor of Domination], but its true form, apart from those willow branches, didn’t seem to have other means of attack.
“Brother Qiye, be careful!”
Wu Quan’s voice came from afar, and a sword light flashed behind Lin Qiye, directly cutting down dozens of willow branches that were coiling toward him.
Lin Qiye used the sword as leverage, twisting his body in mid-air, and heavily kicked the willow tree’s trunk. Under a spray of wood chips, the tree tilted to one side again…
Lin Qiye didn’t stop there. He actively grabbed several coiling willow branches, pulled hard, and his figure ran rapidly up the nearly vertical trunk. Those branches were uprooted by this move, and another miserable howl came from the top of the willow branches.
Indeed, the weak point is at the top of the tree… Lin Qiye’s eyes narrowed slightly.
His figure left a trail of afterimages on the trunk’s surface. With his terrifying speed and movement technique, he continuously avoided the attacks of numerous willow branches. The top of the willow tree kept enlarging in his sight!
However, the higher he went, the closer he got to the roots of the willow branches. Dense willow twigs covered his head like dark clouds, leaving no gap for passage.
“Wu Quan!” Lin Qiye called out, and the sound of the Amenohabakiri sword rang out from behind again, whistling past the layered willow branches. The sharp sword light frantically slashed through, forcibly tearing open a gap for him.
Lin Qiye’s figure leaped through the dense sea of willow twigs, soaring upward. Under the rolling colorful smoke, his height exceeded that of the enormous willow tree.
Looking down, Lin Qiye saw a hideous, eerie pale face growing at the very top of the willow tree. Three crimson pupils were staring intently at Lin Qiye in mid-air. That crooked, sharp mouth opened, letting out an angry screech!
The willow branches growing beneath the pale face frantically extended upward, but their speed was no match for Lin Qiye!
Lin Qiye’s figure fell directly toward that pale face. The power throughout his body surged, and the veins on his right arm bulged one by one. At this distance, he was confident he could shatter the willow tree’s weak point with one punch!
Just as Lin Qiye was about to deliver his punch, that hideous pale face suddenly paused, and its crooked mouth corners turned up, revealing an eerie smile…
Ding—!!
A clear sword ring sounded, and in the next moment, a streak of light pierced through Lin Qiye’s heart from behind. A broken sword blade protruded from his chest!
Lin Qiye’s figure suddenly froze. He looked down at his chest in astonishment, his pupils violently contracting!
The Amenohabakiri… sword?
“Hahahahahahaha…”
An unrestrained laugh came from below. At the foot of the willow tree’s roots, Wu Quan was applauding vigorously, his palms turning red from clapping. Like an audience member who had just watched an excellent comedy, he laughed uncontrollably.
“Brilliant, truly brilliant! No matter in which era, you always give me the best experience! Hahaha…
You did well… child.”
