"Even humans have fatal weaknesses. Do you mere demon trees think I can't handle you?" He snorted coldly, his gaze sweeping over the trees. Suddenly, a faint gleam flashed in his eyes as he fixed his stare on the roots buried deep beneath the ground.
"I'll see if you truly are impervious to blades and arrows!"
The moment the words left his mouth, his body flickered and darted toward the nearest demon tree. As he neared its trunk, the sword gripped in his reverse hand whirled swiftly. Channeling a powerful surge of sword qi, he thrust it violently into the earth.
A burst of sword energy erupted, sending earth flying. A branch snapped clean off, spilling milky sap. In that instant, it seemed as if the tree let out a wretched howl. The branches that had been lashing out at Shen Shiqi instantly retracted, and the entire tree withered rapidly.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
