Ye Qing looked solemn and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid... it's not that simple."
"I always feel like we've been going around in circles, with no real progress at all."
"Everything around us is hindering us."
"How is this possible?"
Bai Xian'er looked surprised, "We have obviously been heading west without turning at all. How could it be possible..."
"Miss Xian'er, don't rush to a conclusion yet."
Ye Qing poured his spiritual power into the immortal sword Taibai and gathered full sword intent, slashing at the tree trunk in front of him unhurriedly.
With a crisp sound, a thin crack appeared on the tree trunk, which looked particularly eye-catching.
Ye Qing took back the fairy sword Jingyun, smiled lightly and said, "Let's go, Miss Xian'er."
"I want to see if this ancient forbidden land is too big, or if we keep running in circles."
The two continued to move forward for another full half hour.
The surrounding scenery is still the same towering trees, without any change from beginning to end.
While walking, Ye Qing's footsteps suddenly stopped. He stared at a big tree beside him and said in a deep voice, "This tree we just saw is the one I left my mark on."
Bai Xianer was stunned for a moment and said doubtfully, "Benefactor, you... are you forgetful?"
"You just left a sword mark on that tree, but there is no mark on this tree at all."
Ye Qing sneered and said, "This means that after we left, someone erased the traces I left so that we could continue to be circled between these trees."
"It's a pity that you can erase the traces, but you can't make my fairy weapon disappear."
"What kind of evil heretic is this? Come out obediently!"
"The fairy sword shocks the clouds, come out!"
Ye Qing raised his two index fingers, shouted loudly, and pointed a golden light on his fingertips at the giant tree in front of him.
The next second, the giant tree's body suddenly shattered.
Jingyun, the fairy sword filled with golden light, rushed out from inside the tree after being summoned by Ye Qing.
He directly blasted the giant tree into dust and returned it to Ye Qing's hands.
Bai Xian'er was stunned. Before she could realize what was happening, a burst of joking laughter came from mid-air.
"Hey, it turns out that the sword you just struck was not to leave a trace, but to disguise the sword itself as sword energy and hide it inside the tree."
"Yes, yes, what a cunning mortal."
Bai Xian'er looked left and right, but couldn't see anyone, and suddenly looked frightened, "Who is it? Show up quickly!"
The next second, he saw hundreds of towering trees around him opening their eyes at the same time.
The bark on their bodies split open, and two huge eyes opened.
His eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes, staring at the two of them, making Bai Xianer feel terrified.
"The maze just now was just to tease you."
"If you dare to break into our territory, your only fate will be death!"
Hundreds of winding vines stretch out from the canopy above all the giant trees.
Tens of thousands of vines fell from the sky at the same time, like a group of tongues spitting out letters, falling from the sky and biting Ye Qing and Bai Xian'er fiercely.
Facing this dense attack, Ye Qing's expression remained unchanged, his hands flashed with two red balls of light, and he threw them into the air with a casual wave.
"The White Emperor's secret method, God will burn the evil!"
The next second, the red light turned into a raging fire, spreading in all directions and heading straight for the shot in mid-air. These flames are not extraordinary fires, nor fairy fires, but the fires of divine generals
Rather, it is the most powerful flame in the world, the fire of the God General, under the strongest magical power recorded in the White Emperor's Law.
According to legend, this fire was created by the gods and can burn everything in the world.
It is especially used to deal with evil heretics such as demons, monsters, and weird people. As long as it is contaminated even a little, it will never be extinguished.
Feeling the holy power emanating from the Divine General's Fire, Bai Xian'er beside her couldn't help but be stunned.
She has been practicing Baidi's method since she was a child. Over the years, she has only scratched the surface of it.
Ye Qing obtained the White Emperor's Technique, and in just one year, he actually learned one of the most powerful magical powers, Divine General's Fire, and mastered it so skillfully.
His talent is so outstanding that it is almost demonic!
The fire of the God General touched the vines in mid-air and burned them all instantly.
The surrounding giant trees all had expressions of pain on their faces, and they let out mournful "hissing" sounds.
"Drive!"
Ye Qing shouted loudly and once again summoned a ring of fire like the God's General's Fire, which shot out in all directions.
Within a radius of more than ten miles, all the tree demons were instantly ignited by the fire of the God General, struggling in the sea of fire with claws and teeth, and let out shrill wails.
However, no matter how hard they struggled, they could not extinguish the fire of the generals.
They could only be burned to ashes one after another amidst the piercing wails, without the slightest resistance.
When hundreds of demonic trees were burned, the surrounding area turned into an open space with no grass growing.
But the voice came again in the air, a little more angry than before.
"Boy, how dare you kill so many of my subordinates!"
"I will turn both of you into saplings and let you stay here forever and become my force!"
Ye Qing held the fairy sword Jingyun in one hand, and burned the fire of the divine general in the other. He smiled lightly and said, "If you have the ability, just show up."
"However, be careful not to turn us into trees, but to take your own life instead."
"Oh, impossible!"
Leaving behind a cold and sinister smile, the voice stopped abruptly.
The next second, the ground beneath their feet suddenly shook violently, making strange noises.
Ye Qing frowned, lowered his head and took a closer look, and saw that the soil under their feet was beginning to crack.
Sensing the dangerous aura coming, Ye Qing hugged Bai Xian'er and flew into the air with her in a flash.
The moment they flew up, two giant hands made of soil burst out of the ground.
If Ye Qing's reaction had been slower than half a second, these two giant hands would have grabbed both of them and sucked the life out of their bodies in an instant.
Two giant hands supported the ground and slowly stood up while carrying his body.
What emerged from the ground was a giant.
The giant is a full five feet tall, and its body is made of piles of soil and rocks, covered with all kinds of flowers, plants and saplings.
There are only two eyes, which are as red as blood and exude a strange aura.
Ye Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "What kind of monster is this guy?"
"Oh, you rude fellow, I am not a monster."
The clay giant sneered, "I am the mountain god of the Dongting Rainforest, and I am here to punish those of you who intrude."
"You two have killed so many of my subordinates, you must stay here forever and become my subordinates and nourishment!" (End of Chapter)
