Zombies: Cultivating Immortality at Maoshan, Becoming Stronger by Doing Nothing

Chapter 544

But now was not the time for them to reminisce. Ling Yanyan coldly swept his gaze over the surrounding ghostly creatures and the restless tree demon.

Clearly, they can't wait.

"Be careful, these things are trying to kill us. Stay alert and eliminate them first!" Ling Yanyan's gaze was icy, and his words were devoid of any warmth, displaying a purely businesslike attitude.

But Yan Chixia admired his decisive and ruthless nature. Reminded by him, he immediately realized what was happening and drew his own sword. "Don't worry, I know you're strong. I won't let you down when it matters." He patted his chest, looking righteous and chivalrous.

The monsters had actually been observing them, or rather, searching for their weaknesses.

Finally, they all rushed forward.

Ling Yanyan immediately gathered spiritual power in her hands and released it towards them.

Yan Chixia chanted incantations as he wielded his sword, each strike slaying a large number of demons and ghosts.

With just a flick of his finger, Ling Yanyan conjured various tangible forms of water, fire, and attacking spiritual energy in his hand.

When this spiritual energy fell upon the demons, it caused their bodies to feel as if they were being burned. They couldn't feel the pain, but it was a sensation that burned their souls.

Before dying, any living being can sense the passing of life.

Some were due to pain, while others were due to deep-seated fear.

Seeing this, the tree spirit gritted its teeth. Damn it, so many ghosts and demons, yet none of them are a match for them. This won't do; if this continues, we probably won't be able to deal with them.

The tree demon was filled with resentment. He had deliberately led them to this deep mountain because he knew it was teeming with demons and ghosts.

Even if Ling Yanyan is incredibly strong, he couldn't possibly withstand so many attacks by himself.

But as it turned out, he was indeed that powerful. He channeled the spiritual energy in his body—a power of unknown origin—that instantly reduced demons and ghosts to ashes whenever it touched them.

It's truly terrifying.

The tree spirit didn't want to let them go either, so it took this opportunity to stir up trouble, occasionally pulling out branches and whipping them hard.

Each strike carried enough force to take half a person's life.

Ling Yan Yan noticed the tree demon's little tricks. While dealing with these little monsters, he also had to spare some attention to deal with the tree demon.

However, it was not difficult for him; he handled it with ease.

He seemed to have an inexhaustible supply of spiritual energy supporting him, allowing him to not only deal with ghosts and monsters but also fiercely confront the tree demon.

Yan Chixia was starting to feel overwhelmed by the situation, but he could still manage. Seeing his condition, Ling Yanyan stepped forward to help him and relieved a lot of his burden, allowing Yan Chixia to finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, the two exchanged a glance and decided to focus their main attention on the tree spirit.

It is the greatest demon, and the most important one.

Ling Yanyan made a hand seal, and then a large ball of flames emerged from his body, almost enveloping his entire body.

His deep pupils blazed with fierce fire, and the next moment, his sharp gaze shot towards the tree demon, while the flames in his hand attacked it.

The tree demon naturally wanted to run away, but Yan Chixia surrounded it from behind.

The sword, imbued with cultivation, was pressed against the tree demon's destiny plate.

The tree spirit could only dodge the attacks of the two while simultaneously launching a counterattack.

The battle was extremely fierce, so fierce that the heavens and earth changed color. Those ghosts and demons with slightly lower cultivation levels felt a powerful shockwave and dared not approach.

This also gave Ling Yanyan and Yan Chixia some time to catch their breath.

Under such relentless attacks, the tree demon eventually lost ground and was accidentally burned in its main body by Ling Yan Yan.

The next moment, the branch shook violently and let out a mournful cry.

Then, the androgynous monster retracted its limbs, stood on the ground, and revealed its true form, transforming into a towering tree.

When he revealed his true form, Ling Yanyan immediately led Yan Chixia to another location and stood still.

If they were still in that spot, they might have been swept away by the main body.

Looking at this enormous tree that seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see, Yan Chixia's eyes were filled with astonishment: "This old monster has finally revealed its true colors. I never expected it to be such a big tree. No wonder it needs to eat so many people to maintain its body."

But the tree spirit's transformation back into its original form gave him a sense of unease.

He was very worried and immediately summoned a wolf demon to protect him.

The true form is much more fragile than the Dharma form. Once damaged, it is unknown how long it will take to recover, and there is also a fatal danger. The tree demon does not want to gamble with time.

A ferocious wolf demon appeared before them, broad-shouldered and terrifying.

Moreover, summoned by the tree demon, it immediately attacked Ling Yanyan and Yan Chixia upon arrival.

"Damn beast!" Ling Yanyan snorted coldly and attacked the wolf demon together with Yan Chixia, and the two sides began to fight.

"This wolf demon is really troublesome. Damn it, where did this tree demon get so many guardian spirits!" Yan Chixia, while keeping a close watch on the wolf demon, jumped onto a rock, looked down at it with his sword in hand, and couldn't help but complain.
