Chapter 144: The Power of Wood

The weak voice of the royal poinciana tree sounded: "I have been entangled by that dodder for thousands of years. If it were not for the strong demonic power supporting me, I would have been killed by it long ago. Its vines have already stretched into my trunk. Only when I die can it be removed from my bones. As long as you can destroy that dodder, I am willing to offer my demonic pill to you."

Zhou Yun sensed the decadent atmosphere emanating from the Phoenix tree. The ancient tree had a sad tone, and was completely waiting to die. As expected, she found the main vine of the dodder at the center of the trunk. She used the power of the wood source to slowly pull out the main vine.

Zhou Yun pulled the thin vine out of the trunk of the Delonix regia little by little. In order to prevent the thin vine from being torn off, she carefully used her spiritual power to pull it out little by little.

The poinciana tree whimpered in pain.

Zhou Yun glanced at Feng Tinghai. Feng Tinghai had already cut off several sections of silk vines that the old man had conjured up. Those vines fell to the ground, but did not wither immediately. Instead, they were full of vitality and grew new vines again.

The old man saw the vine branches cut off by the sword energy, but he was not anxious at all.

However, because the vines were pulled away, the trunk of the Phoenix Ancient Tree began to fall to the ground piece by piece. The ancient tree howled in pain and sent a message to Zhou Yun: "Don't worry about me."

Zhou Yun slapped a thunder and fire talisman on the vines. The vines were connected to the big trees, and the huge tree trunks were burned by the thunder and fire, and crackling sounds were emitted in the flames.

The old man who was fighting with Feng Tinghai suddenly covered his chest and took a few steps back, frowning in pain. He turned around and saw Zhou Yun attacking him. The old man's face darkened and he didn't care about Feng Tinghai and attacked Zhou Yun.

"Stop!" The old man waved out countless thin vines and rushed towards Zhou Yun.

Jimo Yanzhou hurriedly pushed aside those filaments and stood in front of Zhou Yun.

"Yun'er, what are you going to do? Feng Tinghai and I are here to support us." Jimo Yanzhou said, glancing at Feng Tinghai who was full of murderous intent.

Feng Ting pulled the old man Hela into the battle again.

Zhou Yun's face was calm, and he spoke in a deep voice: "The dodder has grown to the center of the tree trunk. If we want to destroy it, we have to uproot this poinciana tree."

"I thought I would be drained of my demonic power by that vine and wait for death. But I am unwilling to let the demonic power that I have cultivated for tens of thousands of years be possessed by that parasite. If I can kill it, I am willing to pay any price." After hearing Zhou Yun's words, the Delonix regia sighed, spoke slowly, and followed Zhou Yun's instructions to begin pulling out the roots growing underground.

Seeing this, Dodder said angrily, "Stop it all! And Feng Changqing, do you think that if you die, I will disappear? I tell you, it's impossible."

Feng Changqing is the name that the Delonix regia gave itself. At the beginning, the dodder was just a small thin vine as thin as a bean sprout, which could wither at any time. Feng Changqing felt sorry for it and agreed to let it temporarily practice by its side. As a result, because of his compassion, the dodder had an opportunity to take advantage of it. By the time Feng Changqing found out, the dodder had already penetrated deeply into its trunk like a maggot attached to its bones, absorbing its demonic power every moment. He had resisted before, but the dodder would regrow and recover as long as it left behind only a tiny vine. As a fellow plant, Feng Changqing really could not destroy it completely, so at the last moment, he sealed his demonic power to prevent the vine from absorbing more demonic power from him. He saved some strength and tried to find a way to deal with the vines that were entangled on his body, but he had never succeeded until this time when he was attacked by thunder and fire.

Because it is integrated with the Delonix Regia, the dodder instantly understood the Delonix Regia's intention at this moment, that the Delonix Regia wanted to die together with it.

The lightning and fire began to burn from the inside of the trunk of the royal poinciana tree, and also burned the main vine of the dodder. The dodder spat out a mouthful of green blood, and Feng Tinghai's sword had already pierced into the dodder's body.

The body of the dodder was torn into pieces, but it was still trying hard to absorb the spiritual power of the flamboyant tree, and its broken vines began to flee in all directions.

Feng Tinghai walked over and split the Delonix Regia with a sword. The huge ancient tree collapsed. A demon pill shining with golden light flew in front of Zhou Yun and quickly merged into Zhou Yun's body.

A thousand-year-old ancient tree demon pill quickly poured into the vast ocean like a drop of water, and Zhou Yun found that her wood source power rose countless stages in an instant. Because the cultivation of other attributes has not yet risen, she can only be at the initial stage of the Phoenix.

However, Zhou Yun discovered that the strength of the wood source power in her body should be as powerful as that of the Wuxiang Realm. The wood spirit pill that had been there for tens of thousands of years turned out to be so powerful. If she wanted to improve her realm, it seemed that she had to improve all the attributes of her cultivation before her realm could be improved. Zhou Yun slightly activated the wood source power in her body and found that it was indeed very powerful.

The dodder still wanted to escape, but found that it could not escape the range of the formation. Zhou Yun casually brushed the chessboard that had fallen to the ground and was broken into pieces, and said to Jimo Yanzhou: "Just now it dragged you to play chess with it, and it almost killed me. How about Brother Yanzhou also play a game with me? Let it also have a taste of the feeling of being a chess piece and being manipulated by others."

The dodder had no idea that it had become a chess piece, and it could not escape from the chessboard.

Zhou Yun said, "This time you play with white pieces."

Jimo Yanzhou's hand holding the black piece was suddenly stunned, "Is that old silk vine a black piece or a white piece on the chessboard?"

"Bai." Zhou Yun said, pushing the white piece in front of Jimo Yanzhou.

Jimo Yanzhou blurted out: "Well, I don't know how to play chess, so just play casually. Yun'er doesn't have to be modest to me."

Feng Tinghai at the side laughed, his eyes cold, "No wonder Zhou Xiaomei and I were trapped and almost killed. It turns out that you are not good at chess."

Jimo Yanzhou felt a chill on his neck and reached out to touch it. When he looked up, he saw Feng Tinghai's cold gaze. His heart suddenly trembled and he smiled awkwardly: "I was so nervous when I made the move. Fortunately, you are all fine."

Feng Tinghai snorted coldly: "In the face of absolute strength, any tricks are useless."

Jimo Yanzhou looked like a flatterer and quickly said, "That's right, that's right. Senior Feng was once the most powerful cultivator in the entire Great Wilderness." He forced himself to remain calm so as not to let Feng Tinghai see his guilt and fear.

Zhou Yun had already made his move, and Jimo Yanzhou immediately picked up a white piece and placed it on top.

The dodder trapped in the Danzhu formation shouted anxiously: "You lousy chess player, who told you to play like this?"
