Chapter 4354
Observing the chaos, Zhu Qingxiu quickly leaped into the air, suspended momentarily as he watched the island fade away into the endless ocean!
With no solid ground beneath them, the four demonic cultivators were clearly starting to panic!
Falling into the Dead Sea would mean instant death, turning them into mere bones!
Kai executed a swift sword strike, catching one of the demonic cultivators off guard. The blow landed squarely on his chest, causing him to lose all his spiritual power and plummet directly into the Dead Sea!
Moments later, the churn of the sea indicated that within mere breaths, that devil cultivator had become a skeleton, floating lifelessly on the water’s surface!
“Let’s move! We can’t get caught up in this any longer; we need to find somewhere to land!”
Recognizing the futility of trying to defeat Kai, the green-clothed cultivator decided it was best to lead his companions in a hasty escape!
The green-clothed cultivator, along with the remaining two demonic cultivators, raced toward the small island where Zhu Qingxiu had initially taken refuge!
Seeing this, Kai quickly grabbed Zhu Qingxiu and pursued them!
As Kai and his group chased after them, the three devil cultivators felt a surge of fear; they had transitioned from hunters to hunted!
“Big brother, send out a distress signal immediately, or we’ll all perish here!”
A panicked devil cultivator urged the green-clothed leader!
Frowning, the green-clothed cultivator finally relented, unleashing a red light into the sky!
The red light shot upward, bursting into a vivid explosion!
“This is bad; they’re calling for help! There must be more of their allies nearby!”
Noticing this, Zhu Qingxiu quickly alerted Kai!
“Don’t worry! We’ll take down every last one that comes our way; we won’t leave a single one of these Demon Sealing Alliance lackeys alive!”
Kai harbored a deep-seated hatred for the demonic cultivators who served the Demon Sealing Alliance!
The three devil cultivators touched down above the small island, but no sooner had they gained a moment’s respite than they leapt away again, disappearing into the horizon!
Kai landed on the island with Zhu Qingxiu, eager to chase after them once more, but Zhu Qingxiu held him back!
“Hold on! This island is likely to sink after you damaged the Spirit Spring. I need to retrieve the Divine Tree!”
Zhu Qingxiu declared!
“Divine Tree? What Divine Tree are you talking about?”
Kai was taken aback!
Without elaborating, Zhu Qingxiu pulled Kai toward a fractured cliff on the island!
At the broken cliff’s edge, a small tree emerged from the crevices of the rocks, exuding a bubbling Immortal Qi!
Kai stared in astonishment at the tree; how could it possibly radiate Immortal Qi?
Could there be immortal remains hidden beneath this tree?
Yet, given its location in the rocks, it seemed unlikely there was anything underneath. Where, then, did this immortal aura originate?
“This is the Divine Tree. During my years on this island, I relied on both the Spirit Spring and this tree to cultivate. With the Spirit Spring destroyed, this is all I have left.”
“I must take the Divine Tree away; if the island sinks, it will perish with it.”
With that, Zhu Qingxiu sprang toward the Divine Tree!
Her intention was to uproot it and find a new location to plant it, ensuring she could continue her cultivation!
But as Zhu Qingxiu approached the Divine Tree, it suddenly erupted with a dark green light!
The light materialized into a spiritual blade, launching an attack to keep Zhu Qingxiu at bay!
The unexpected assault shocked Zhu Qingxiu, leaving her wounded by several spirit blades, nearly causing her to tumble into the deadly sea!
Seeing her distress, Kai immediately leapt forward, catching Zhu Qingxiu and pulling her back!
Both of them stared at the Divine Tree in disbelief, questioning how a mere tree could launch an attack!
Could it be that the tree was alive?
Kai quickly cast a spell to seal off the space around them before reaching out toward the tree with one hand!
