C255 The Path of Death
The grave is surrounded by silence. However, at this moment, Su Chen could feel something breathing beside his ear. The scene was extremely strange, causing him to involuntarily feel fear.
The Immortal Slaying Ancient Sword suddenly shone with a golden light. It flew towards the scabbard and emitted a golden light that tightly protected Su Chen.
An incomparably majestic and strange force suddenly pressed down from above Su Chen's head. It was an emerald green light that seemed to contain infinite life force. However, Su Chen felt that this energy was extremely aggressive, and it was actually emitted from the ancient tree that guarded the tomb.
"Could it be that this tree has become a spirit?" Su Chen quickly dodged the jade-green light screen and said in a surprised and bewildered manner.
"Huala huala!" As if a fierce wind had blown past, the entire ancient tree began to shake violently. The leaves swayed wildly, producing a loud sound. On the ground, seven to eight tree roots, each one a meter thick, suddenly sprung up from the ground. They twisted their bodies like spirit snakes and swept towards Su Chen.
These seven to eight tree roots were glowing with a dark green light, and they also emitted a faint fragrance of trees. Su Chen was shocked. This tree had indeed become a spirit. It could actually attack others on its own.
He moved his body in a flash, wanting to dodge the attack of the tree roots. However, unexpectedly, the attack speed of these tree roots was extremely fast. It was several times faster than Su Chen's speed. It was simply difficult for him to dodge.
Bang! Bang! Two tree roots hit Su Chen's body. A golden light burst out from Su Chen's body and blocked a large portion of the force for him. However, his body still retreated five or six meters.
"Clang!" Facing the tree roots that were chasing him from the sky, the Immortal Slaying Ancient Sword and Su Chen's mind were connected. Finally, it displayed its powerful strength. A green Qi Sword shot up into the sky, cutting the tree root in the middle in half.
Su Chen held the ancient sword in his hand and soared into the sky. Wherever he went, all the tree roots were cut into several pieces.
However, just as he removed all the tree roots, the next wave of attacks came. This time, it wasn't the tree roots, but the leaves.
The branches of the ancient tree began to shake wildly, making rustling sounds. Countless green leaves, like throwing knives, fell from the sky and shot towards Su Chen.
Su Chen would not simply treat these leaves as ordinary leaves. He threw out a Heaven Rushing Buddha Destorying Palm and collided with the leaves. He found that the Heaven Rushing Buddha Destorying Palm had been penetrated by the leaves.
The Heaven Rushing Buddha Destorying Palm, which could easily shatter rocks, was like air in front of these leaves. It could easily penetrate through. This made Su Chen dumbfounded.
If he was hit by the leaves, he would be turned into meat paste.
Su Chen controlled the Immortal Slaying Ancient Sword and placed a Sword Array in the air. Seven Qi Sword of different colors spun quickly, forming a seven-colored Divine Shield that firmly protected Su Chen's head.
When the leaf hit the seven-colored Divine Shield, it actually produced a series of violent metal clashing sounds. After a while, the seven-colored Divine Shield's light began to dim.
Su Chen sucked in a cold sweat. The power of this leaf was much stronger than the power of the root. And it was so much. He had no choice but to activate the Immortal Slaying Ancient Sword once more, and 49 Qi Sword shot out from it. They formed seven Divine Shield, blocking in all directions.
Ten minutes later, all of the leaves were blocked. However, five of the seven-colored Divine Shield had already been destroyed, and the rest had become dim and dull.
Su Chen looked at the ancient tree above his head and was surprised to find that the leaves of the ancient tree did not seem to decrease at all. He looked at the ground and found that there was not a single leaf scattered on the ground.
Could it be that everything that happened just now was just an illusion?
No, Su Chen could clearly feel the terrifying power contained in the leaves. This must be the attack of this strange ancient tree in front of him.
Su Chen didn't pay much attention to this tree at the beginning. Because it was just an ordinary tree, it was only 15 meters tall. It was three to four men's arms wide. Compared to the ancient trees he saw in the Floating Cloud Mountain Range, this tree was considered very small.
However, the body of the tree was emitting an ancient aura, making Su Chen feel that this tree had lived for tens of thousands of years, as if it had existed since the ancient era.
"Buzz! Buzz!" The ancient tree suddenly let out a strange sound, as if an old man was whispering something.
Cold sweat broke out on Su Chen's back. His sensitive spiritual sense told him that there was a great danger approaching. This forced him to activate the Immortal Slaying Ancient Sword, and a huge ancient sword with seven colors appeared in front of him.
"Buzz! Buzz!" The strange low and deep sound became louder and louder, and it became more and more urgent, as if it was coming from all directions. Su Chen couldn't help but feel dizzy, as if he was in a chaotic world.
All of a sudden, the trunk of the ancient tree began to emit a bright green light. A huge tree spirit holding a wooden staff shot out from the ancient tree. It opened its jade-green bloody mouth, wanting to swallow Su Chen.
Su Chen was shocked. He instinctively waved the Immortal Slaying Ancient Sword, and the thirty-meter-long seven-colored Qi Sword slashed at the tree spirit.
The tree spirit seemed to ignore all obstacles. It gently waved the wooden staff. The wooden staff collided with the rainbow colored Qi Sword like a divine weapon. The rainbow colored Qi Sword was actually blocked.
"Ah!" A bright green light appeared in front of Su Chen's eyes. He did not have time to dodge before he was swallowed by the huge mouth of the tree spirit.2
A bright green light was flashing in the tree spirit's mouth, as if it was the most beautiful and pure jade in the world. Su Chen found that the Immortal Slaying Ancient Sword sword light that protected him was weakening rapidly.
The green light seemed to contain a terrifying power. If Su Chen didn't have the protection of the Immortal Slaying Ancient Sword, he would have been melted by the green light long ago.
Su Chen was somewhat speechless. He was actually eaten by a tree. This was really unbelievable.
The Immortal Slaying Ancient Sword kept transmitting a force from the sword to Su Chen's body, resisting the attack of the green light. Su Chen was curious. He took out a hard Beast Bead from the Spatial Ring and threw it into the green light.
"Puchi!" Like a drop of water dripping onto a boiling hot stove, the Beast Bead instantly disappeared without a trace.
Su Chen's forehead was covered in cold sweat. His situation was too bad. This place was like a huge stove that was used to refine divine iron. If he was accidentally touched by the green light, he would instantly turn into steam.
The green light that symbolized the aura of life was now filled with an incomparably terrifying destructive force. Just what kind of existence was this ancient tree?
Right now, Su Chen could only hope that the Immortal Slaying Ancient Sword could continuously transmit energy to him. Otherwise, he would undoubtedly die.
However, Su Chen was also surprised to find that the injuries he had suffered before had unknowingly been fully healed by the gentle energy of the Immortal Slaying Ancient Sword. Furthermore, he found that his cultivation base seemed to have improved.
"In this damn place, I'm afraid that the Immortal God will be easily destroyed. So what if my cultivation base has improved?" Su Chen helplessly smiled bitterly.
There were green lights everywhere in front of Su Chen's eyes. He suddenly felt very confused. He thought of everything that happened to him in the past. He thought of the person he loved, Yu Yue. He thought of Yu Huan and Huang Qing, who had caused him endless contradictions. He thought of the cute Rouxue. His heart was filled with warmth and an inexplicable ache.
What was left of a person's life till the end?
All kinds of things were unpredictable. They faced the danger of death at any time. Pain, joy, all of these flashed by like clouds.
What else could a person pursue in their life? In the end, it was all in vain.
"I don't care what I'm pursuing. I just do what I want to do and walk my own path. I'm not bound by the so-called rules. Those who defy the heavens will die, those who submit to the heavens will grieve. Even if I choose to die, I am not willing to live my life in sorrow. If I die like that, I will have a clear conscience."
Su Chen seemed to have come to a true realization in an instant. A mark of Dao slowly took shape in his heart.
If he wanted to, he would do it! As long as he felt that it was right, it would be fine.
He found the true Dao that belonged to him. One of his legs had already stepped into the Dao Recognizing Period that all martial artists dreamt of.
