"Dead?"

Immediately, a little Taoist priest from Xianyuan Temple looked at the tree demon in surprise, wanting to go over and check it out.

"No! Be careful!"

The little Taoist priest immediately stepped back.

As expected——

The tree demon was suppressed by the mountain god's order and could not move. Seeing that his mana and vitality were being quickly suppressed, knowing that if he continued like this, he was afraid that he would die under the hands of those Taoist priests, he immediately ignored everything and released the mana that he had accumulated for many years.

and death.

It was a plume of black smoke rising into the sky.

Originally, there was some spiritual fire burning on the tree, but it was immediately extinguished in the black smoke. Under the moonlight, you can clearly see the black smoke rising straight into the sky, bypassing the spiritual flag formation, and scattering in all directions.

There is also some spilled out.

"careful!"

Several Taoists from Xianyuan Temple immediately gathered together and stood together with Lin Jue and the other two, as well as the little Taoist priest who fell on the ground. Many Taoists worked together to resist the black smoke with pure Yang spiritual power.

It was easy for everyone to resist, but they couldn't help but raise their heads, follow the black smoke, and then turn to look behind them.

I immediately knew where the black smoke was going—

It is distributed to other tree demons in the mountain!

Pear ancestors and pear trees are of the same origin, so they can be accepted.

This is a self-destructive approach.

But at this time, there were loud and strange sounds in the mountains, and then there was a rumble, like the friction of branches and leaves in the woods when a hurricane passed by, and the whole mountain forest was moving.

You can imagine what the tree demons in the woods look like at this time. You don’t need to look far away or wait for them to arrive. You can just look at the outside of the spirit flag array - the dead tree demon who was originally blocked outside.

They all went crazy, their facial features were distorted, black smoke was spitting out from their mouths, and they were banging and squeezing wildly into the magic circle.

The spirit flag was trembling and even tilted slightly.

"This is bad!"

The middle-aged Taoist priest of Xianyuan Temple was a little frightened.

"what to do?"

The other two little Taoist priests also became frightened.

He just saw Lin Jue and his junior sister looking at each other, seemingly quite calm, so they looked at each other and forced themselves to calm down, not wanting to be weaker than them.

"There are two ways now." Lin Jue thought for a while, but he was not panicking. "First, we can break through a road, rush out, and come back during the day tomorrow to deal with these dryads. It will be very simple. We can even kill the mountain gods.

The token remains inside the old tree. Even if it doesn't die, it won't be able to escape. I'll just come back and get rid of it at dawn tomorrow."

"No!" The little Taoist priest named Yun Yi denied it instantly, "Behind this hill is Gong Village!"

"Yes!" The middle-aged Taoist priest also said, "We originally wanted to wait until daytime to clean them up, but we can't wait until daytime tomorrow!"

"Is this so..."

Lin Jue nodded, agreeing, and then continued: "Then we can only set fire to the mountains! These tree demons are mostly dead trees and are most afraid of flames. Although there are many forests here, there are no big mountains and forests. Even if we set fire to the mountains,

It won’t spread too far. It’s better than the monsters wreaking havoc.”

Setting fire to mountains and digging graves at noon has always been a good way for mortals to deal with goblins and ghosts these days.

Often when there are monsters in the mountains, there is no need for a Taoist expert. The yamen can either send out soldiers to capture the monsters or invite experienced hunters to eliminate them. If they cannot be eliminated, they will set fire to the mountains. Trials will not work.

But just then——

A sword light suddenly appeared in the dark night!

I don’t know who the sword light came from, but it was probably nearly a foot wide and two or three feet high. It traveled from far to near in the dark night, and instantly arrived in front of the spirit flag formation. Almost all the tree demons along the way were smashed into pieces and turned into broken branches.

leaf.

It seems like someone is coming again?

Everyone looked at each other.

Among the broken branches and leaves, there were tree demons gathering crazily there.

I saw dead tree spirits swarming around, many branches clashing and waving, and there were rough roars. There was a faint silver light and gun light, and occasionally a few unclear silhouettes of soldiers could be seen flickering among the branches and leaves.

Like a warrior? But nowadays, how can there be such a warrior in the world?

But I heard a distant shout from the other side:

"Fellow Taoist, we are here to help you!"

"It's the Fu Lu Sect!"

After all, middle-aged Taoists are more knowledgeable.

As expected, a figure soon appeared from that side and rushed into the spirit flag formation.

He is a Taoist from Qiyun Mountain.

Among them, Lin Jue saw Taoist Master Jiang, Taoist Master Qingxuan, and two middle-aged Taoists, followed by two trembling villagers, and several horses carrying corpses behind them.

However, there were only a few of them, and what the Taoist held in his hands were only ordinary wooden swords, iron swords and floating dust. I wonder where the sword light just now and the gun shadow came from.

"Brother Qingxuan!"

Lin Jue and the others hurriedly went to greet him.

"Eh? Fellow Taoist Lin! Fellow Taoist Qingyao! Are these...fellow Taoists from Xianyuan Temple?" Taoist Master Qingxuan came over first and was very moved, "You really went down the mountain to eliminate demons! Thank you very much!"

"As it should be."

"Several Taoist friends, it is certainly a good idea to set fire to the mountain, but it is quite difficult to cultivate pear trees here for many years. It is not only the livelihood of the local people, but also one of the fundamentals of the prosperity of this place. After all, there are only a few people who have become evil spirits.

, we happen to have Taoist talismans, so we can save this spiritual fire for our fellow Taoists."

Director Jiang came over holding a silver sword:

"Leave it to us!"

"please."

Lin Jue was naturally happy to save mana, just to see what they would do.

At this time, although the spiritual flag array could still barely hold up, the old tree demon was constantly using his magic power to summon the tree demon. He saw Taoist Jiang Ning take out a golden talisman, throw it casually, point his long sword, and

She threaded the talisman folded into a triangle onto the sword, and whispered a mantra to God. Within a few words, the talisman paper started to burn.

Then he slashed out with a sword.

"call……"

A golden divine fire was like a crescent moon, heading straight into the night.

A few feet away from the sword, the flame was already several feet wide. When it exited the spiritual flag formation and hit the group of tree demons, it was already more than ten feet wide, almost covering a large area of ​​tree demons in front of it.

With a bang!

The body of the tree demon seemed to be covered with fire oil, and a large area was burned at once.

Lin Jue just wanted to think that this was still using fire, but when he took a closer look, he saw that the fire seemed a little weak——

Wherever the flames passed by, except for the tree demons, not a single plant or tree was affected at all.

Even when the spiritual flag formation they were in was filled with blazing flames from all directions, they could not feel even a trace of heat. Only the tree demons were struggling and wailing in the flames, and were quickly burned up.

"This is Lihuo, a fire that can only be practiced by the righteous gods in the sky. It is extremely powerful, but it only burns demons and evil spirits. It does not harm anything in the world." As if seeing his doubts, Taoist Master Jiang Ning explained to him.

, "Therefore it is difficult to use it in battles between monks or gods."

"This should be regarded as divine fire."

Lin Jue praised him and then turned around.

A middle-aged Taoist priest looked at the old tree demon in the middle. Seeing that his vitality was still alive, he took out a piece of talisman from his arms, recited a spell, and threw it towards the tree demon in front of him.

"boom!"

A thunderbolt fell from the night sky and hit the tree demon.

The tree demon's whole body trembled, and the tree trunk was split open by thunder, revealing red and glowing cracks. White smoke rose, but the vitality was not cut off.

The middle-aged Taoist priest was about to take out the second card when he was stopped by Taoist priest Jiang Ning behind him.

"Uncle Chongqing, save a few talismans. A few fellow Taoists can beat it like this, and it will be easy to get rid of it."

"good!"

When the middle-aged Taoist priest heard this, he also took back the talisman.

Lin Jue walked up to the tree demon with his sword and saw that it was already dying. He stretched out his hand to chant a spell, retrieved the mountain god's token, and then smashed it against the tree demon, completely breaking the brittle tree trunk.

"Huh?"

However, they saw that the tree demon had lost all vitality, and its whole body was either struck by lightning or burned by fire. It was emitting black smoke and even flashing with fire. However, the wood in the middle of the trunk was fresh and spiritual, obviously different from the outside.
