Chapter Seventy Cooperation

  The swordsman with the crescent moon knife let out a cold snort, and with a swift move, he clashed with his opponent. This kind of aerial attack was purely a killing move, and he had confidence that as long as he could seal off this one strike, the girl would be left hanging in mid-air, losing her footing, and her body would inevitably become unstable. He could easily launch a counterattack. Even if he didn't want to engage in a fierce battle with his opponent, he could temporarily dodge to the side and attack from behind or from the flank when the girl was about to land, thus gaining the upper hand.

  It's just intimidating at first, but it turns out to be a fool!

  The samurai with the curved moon blade took a step back to the side, but suddenly found that the giant knife was already flying over his head. How could it be so fast?! He had just seen the opponent jump out of the rock, and in an instant he was already close at hand. It seemed that his time and memory had mysteriously disappeared for a short while. He could see the beginning, and vaguely saw the end, but couldn't remember the process.

  But it's too late to think about that now, he let out a loud roar, his fighting spirit fully activated, the crescent moon emitted dazzling light, and immediately met the giant knife.

  Clang…… The crescent moon curved blade unexpectedly broke off like a piece of paper, and the dazzling light was also scattered at the same time. The warrior only felt a chill from the top of his head piercing through his entire body, and then his consciousness began to blur.

  Ah…… Xiǎo Rú fell to the ground, his left hand propping himself up on the ground, his body suddenly leaping up like a leopard, the dark knife blade pointing far away at the second warrior.

  The warrior saw his companion fall in the blink of an eye, took a deep breath, but he knew that at this moment, showing even a hint of fear would be fatal. The girl's movements were as swift as lightning, her knife strikes ferocious and unmatched. Running was out of the question; on this narrow path, only the bravest would win. With everything on the line, there might still be a glimmer of hope for survival.

  The warrior suddenly took a step forward, his spear tip raised, and danced out thousands of spear shadows, straight towards Xiǎo Rú.

  He had attached great importance to Xiǎo Rú's speed, but it wasn't until they actually clashed that he realized his emphasis was still far from enough.

  After Xiǎo Rú released her demonic aura, her movements became extremely unusual. At the moment she exerted force and jumped up, her speed wasn't the fastest, but it seemed as though there was a powerful energy stored within her body that allowed her to continuously accelerate while in mid-air, so the farther she flew, the faster her speed became.

  This is Xi's family star-killing technique! However, the star-killing technique has a double-edged blade. If used well, it can kill enemies; if not, it will harm oneself.

  At a height of only eight or nine meters, Xiǎo Rú fell to the ground and was unable to maintain her body shape, having to use her hands to support herself on the ground before she could jump up again, which already revealed the hidden danger of Xīng Huì Zhèn.

  The warrior's long spear had just been wielded, the fighting technique had just been employed, and hundreds of spear shadows had already been cut off in mid-air. The warrior was staring blankly at the broken spear in his hand, when a flash of knife light appeared, and his head flew high into the air.

  Xiǎo Rú's figure continued to move forward, her gaze coldly fixed on the old man sitting in mid-air, he was her true opponent, the others were just a group of crawling insects.

  The old man furrowed his brow, seeing that Xiǎo Rú had already shot into the air and was pouncing towards him with an unstoppable knife momentum, as well as a faintly condensed killing intent that made him also take it seriously.

  The old man flipped his wrist, and a sword light emerged from the entanglement of the roots of the Tree of Destiny, heading towards Xi Xiaoju.

  Xiǎo Rú drew her long sword and met the sword light with fearlessness.

  A deafening boom suddenly came from mid-air, and those warriors had no intention of continuing to entangle with the roots of the Tree of Fate, and they fled the battlefield, looking up.

  The old man's move seemed effortless and carefree. None of them had expected that a single collision could produce such an astonishingly loud noise.

  Xiǎo Rú's face turned slightly pale, but her body continued to charge towards the old man, and the sword light was blasted into mid-air. In the first exchange, Xiǎo Rú should be considered the winner.

  The old man was taken aback, then suddenly furious: "Bastard!!" He raised his hand and pointed at Xiǎo Rú, and two more sword lights flew out from the roots of the Destiny Tree, shooting towards Xiǎo Rú one after another.

  Boom... The second sword light was also blasted away by Xiǎo Rú, however, Xiǎo Rú's figure showed a clear delay, her Stellar Devouring Technique had been broken after all.

  The secret of Seiken is to constantly accelerate and accumulate terrible kinetic energy, and once it collides with the enemy, all the kinetic energy will be released through the knife's momentum. However, if the enemy's strength far surpasses hers and bounces her knife back, she herself must bear the damage from the kinetic energy.

  The third sword light arrived, and Xi Xiao Ru suddenly flipped her knife over, blocking it in front of herself.

  BOOM!... Xiǎo Rú's figure shot backwards like a cannonball, heavily crashing onto the ground, splashing up a burst of sand and rocks.

  In the second confrontation, Xi Xiao Ru was defeated with absolute disadvantage.

  The old man recalled the two flying swords that had been blown away by Xiǎo Rú, and compared to the other flying swords, these two flying swords' luster had clearly become dull. The old man was so angry that his eyebrows and beard quivered with rage, obviously heartbroken to the extreme. He immediately roared: "What are you still standing there for? Kill her, kill her for me!!"

  Those warriors rushed towards Xiǎo Rújū who was lying there motionless.

  Just as they were about to take a step, Xiǎo Rú suddenly jumped up, her mouth open, and spat out two mouthfuls of blood. Afterwards, she slowly lifted her head, the corners of her mouth once again revealing a smile, but with blood still lingering at the corners of her mouth, making her smile look especially eerie.

  The next moment, Xi Xiao Ru suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the old man again.

  "You scoundrel!" The old man was furious, his body floating away from the Tree of Fate, advancing towards Xi Xiao Ru: "I'll kill you first!"

  At this time, Su Tang's figure appeared on the rock. He was beaten by Xi Xiao Ru and had no strength to resist, but when Xi Xiao Ru pulled out the Tian Xia knife, he suddenly felt a strange vibration in the Dazheng sword, and the spiritual energy contained in the sword also flowed into his body, allowing him to quickly recover.

  Su Tang's mind had cleared up, and because he was clear-headed, he had to come back. The trouble was that he had found it, and the road was also his lead. No matter whether Xi Xiao Ru lived or died, he could not escape on his own, he couldn't do such a thing.

  Su Tang jumped down from the rock, but his movements were much clumsier than Xi Xiao Ru's. With Da Zheng's sword in hand, he almost fell to the ground after landing, and the sword also dropped to the ground.

  Su Tang didn't act rashly, just now he had pulled the Night Crying Bow repeatedly, but failed to cause any harm to the enemy. He already knew that those warriors were very powerful.

  Su Tang deliberately avoided the warriors and ran towards the Tree of Destiny, "Mom..." The voice appeared in his mind again. Su Tang didn't know whether he should be angry or not, after all, it was that voice that led him into trouble, but now complaining about it was useless. He tried to say in his mind: "Can you hear me?"

  "I can, very clear, mom, I..."

  "Listen, are these roots yours?"

  Yes indeed.

  "Nonsense! Do as I say now!" Su Tang turned around and charged towards a warrior holding two battle-axes.

  The samurai immediately sensed Su Tang's movement, sneering and welcoming Su Tang. Xi Xiao Ru had already shown her own momentum, they didn't dare to provoke her, while Su Tang looked weak, even holding the sword was a bit unstable, extremely fierce.

  "Now! Bind him with your roots!" Su Tang roared in his mind domain.

  Innumerable roots burst out of the ground, charging towards the warrior holding a pair of axes. The warrior was shocked and immediately swung his axes, fiercely chopping at the roots. When they reached the fighter stage, they could all release their spiritual energy externally, and with the double axes dancing like windmills, the roots that wrapped around them were either shaken off or chopped off.

  However, he also had an unguarded spot, which was his feet and legs. There were thirty or forty roots wrapped around his legs, gradually creeping up, and the warrior was powerless against these roots. After all, he couldn't use an axe to chop at his own legs.

  "Mom... it hurts so much..." The voice wailed, it was a life form, and of course it would hurt when injured.

  "Endure it!" Su Tang roared crudely in his mind.

  Soon, Su Tang approached the warrior and suddenly raised his great sword, chopping down with a single stroke.

  The samurai's arms and neck were entwined with roots, unable to move, and could only raise his twin axes with a loud roar, holding off the great sword.

  If it were Xiǎo Rú grasping the Dàzhèng sword, she would cut off all obstacles, including the dual axes, including the roots, and including the warrior's body. Sū Táng wouldn't be able to do that; with a full-strength strike of his sword, he only managed to shake the warrior for a few moments.

  The samurai continued to bellow and prepare for a counterattack, but the roots entwined tighter and tighter, even his arms were fixed in an arc shape, unable to move at all.

  Su Tang took a step back and thrust his sword at the warrior's chest, if cutting didn't work then he would use stabbing, see how you can still defend yourself?!

  The samurai was stifled to the extreme and could only watch as the long sword pierced his chest.

  The other warriors were closing in on this side, while Su Tang's figure flashed back and disappeared into the dense roots.

  Those warriors were unwilling to give up, on one hand chopping at the roots that blocked their way, and on the other searching for Su Tang's trail.

  Within a range of forty or fifty meters around the Destiny Tree, there were tens of millions of dancing roots, making it almost impossible to find someone here. Moreover, Su Tang's movement and field of vision were unaffected, allowing him to clearly see every warrior's movements.

  Moreover, the Tree of Fate had been using its roots to prevent those warriors from approaching, its intention was simple to the extreme, just don't get close, and it didn't even know how to use its roots to kill or injure the enemy. But just now, with Su Tang's successful coordination, it suddenly understood a lot.

  "Did you see that guy with the big knife? Yeah, get him!" Su Tang shouted in her mind.

  The samurai was vigilant, and at the moment when the roots broke through the ground, he immediately jumped high, but the speed of the roots was faster, chasing him straight up, wrapping around the samurai's ankle, and then pulling him back hard. Su Tang appeared afterwards, stabbing two swords on the samurai's body.
