"Jiang Li, are you sure you can do this?"
Chu Qiang's eyes lit up, and he was already calling him brother: "I just need one!"
He'd watched Jiang Li's battle videos. His overall strength was only slightly weaker, but more importantly, against the Willow Tree King's dense vine attacks, the mental power user's advantage was far too great!
"Can I have one too?"
Liu Zheng looked at Jiang Li hesitantly.
"Alright."
After all, it was Liu Zheng who had notified Shi Jiang, so Jiang Li nodded: "I'll deal with the Willow Tree King. You guys handle the Spirit of the Wood!"
"Great!"
The five of them quickly reached an agreement.
"Chu Qiang, shall we team up again and try another run?"
At that moment, William walked over from a distance.
"We won't team up with someone who abandoned their teammates!"
Chu Qiang's voice was icy as he refused.
"You…"
William's expression was unsightly.
Before Jiang Li and the others arrived, a dozen or so people had attempted a run, and two bodies were left behind as a result.
Chu Qiang knew very well that the Willow Tree King was rooted in place and couldn't move. If Candice and the others had gone all out to save them, Lemart and Simon might not have died!
Too bad.
When disaster strikes, everyone flees.
That's just human nature.
"Everyone, be careful. The fog on this island is very thick, and visibility is poor. There might be other monsters!"
Led by Chu Qiang, the five people jumped onto the foggy island, advancing along the route they had just escaped.
"Candice, what do we do now?"
Watching Jiang Li and the others enter the foggy island, William asked anxiously.
That was an invaluable treasure that could help one break through to Beyond War God. Watching it just like that, anyone would be as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
"Hmph, I don't believe they can succeed!"
Candice snorted coldly. Her communicator immediately lit up, and her eyes brightened, "They'll arrive in thirty minutes!"
"Even if Chu Qiang and the others get the Spirit of the Wood, they won't be able to take it!"
Candice had great confidence in the geniuses of her clan.
Soon.
Jiang Li and the other four stood about a hundred meters from the nine willow trees. Looking over, there were two student corpses lying beneath the innermost willow tree.
"Jiang Li."
Chu Qiang pointed towards the willow tree beside the two corpses and said, "Look, that core one is the Willow Tree King. Its pale golden willow branches are enough to cover the other willow trees, so we can't just take the Spirit of the Wood!"
"Alright."
Jiang Li carefully observed, noticing the faint golden willow branches wrapped around the main trunk. "I'll go first. You all seize the opportunity to take care of the other eight willow trees…"
"Be careful!"
Chu Qiang gripped his twin blades, entering a combat stance.
"Jiang Li, be extremely careful!"
Shi Jiang, Zhao Ruo, and Liu Zheng also stood ready.
Whoosh!
Jiang Li, holding the Blood Shadow Battleblade, flashed, his form instantly leaving afterimages as he charged towards the Willow Tree King. His speed was so fast that he covered nearly a hundred meters in an instant.
As he neared the Willow Tree King, the Willow Tree King suddenly attacked. A massive amount of branches swept towards Jiang Li, and golden willow branches spiraled down from the main trunk, piercing towards him.
"Cut!"
Jiang Li leaped, spinning seven hundred and twenty degrees in the air, and slashed horizontally. Ordinary willow branches instantly shattered.
The Willow Tree King seemed to realize the strength of the human before it, and more and more pale golden willow branches lashed out.
"Magnetic Storm Flowing Blade!"
Facing the pale golden willow branches that instantly lashed out, Jiang Li jumped into the air again. The battle blade in his hand erupted with crimson light, and a terrifying current of force thundered down, colliding violently with the pale golden willow branches.
The first three pale golden branches shattered and quickly retracted. But when the fourth one came, it only cracked.
No wonder they couldn't deal with it!
Jiang Li understood at a glance.
With Jiang Li's current physical strength, one strike of his blade technique was no less than a High-level War God's full-power burst. Moreover, he was equipped with an SS-grade Blood Shadow Battleblade, a weapon capable of piercing King-level monsters.
And it only shattered the first three pale golden willow branches.
Looking around, there were at least hundreds of these branches. Even if High-level War Gods were hacking at them, they'd be exhausted!
Having been injured, the Willow Tree King seemed enraged. Branches from all directions frantically lashed out at Jiang Li!
"Attack!"
Seeing the Willow Tree King's branches coil towards Jiang Li, Chu Qiang immediately shouted. He transformed into a streak of light, attacking the outermost willow trees. Shi Jiang, Zhao Ruo, and Liu Zheng followed closely behind, combining their efforts to take down one tree first.
Meanwhile...
Facing the overwhelming pale golden willow branches, Jiang Li stomped his foot. His qi and blood surged, and his mental power instantly expanded. The Blood Shadow Battleblade in his hand flared with crimson light, even emitting a trembling sound.
Dragon God Domain!
The force from his foot connected with his body's power, converging in his arm. As Jiang Li swung his blade, the released crimson light resembled a blood dragon emerging from the world, tearing apart the pale golden prison of branches with overwhelming force.
In an instant, scattered branches flew everywhere.
"Hmph!"
The Willow Tree King, enraged, retracted the branches that had been about to attack others.
Thousands of pale golden branches flew wildly, closing in on Jiang Li from all directions.
"Rise!"
A Blood Shadow Battle Sword emerged from the opened box behind Jiang Li, slicing through the pale golden branches. It spun beneath his feet, and he followed with a horizontal slash.
Boom!
Bang!
Jiang Li directly confronted the Willow Tree King's trunk. Unable to move, it could only use the pale golden branches to block the attacks, then lash out at Jiang Li from both sides.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Crimson sword beams continuously shot out from the alloy box. Like satellites orbiting the Earth, they constantly circled Jiang Li, forming crimson sword arrays. Each pale golden willow branch that lashed out was deflected by the Blood Shadow Battleblade.
"Break!"
Chu Qiang was currently hacking with his dual blades, directly tearing apart the main trunk of a willow tree to seize the first Spirit of the Wood. Then, he looked up, as if seeing a massive crimson sphere relentlessly crushing towards the Willow Tree King.
"As expected of an Undefeated War God, to be able to control more than a dozen SS-grade battle swords with such precision!"
Seeing this scene, Chu Qiang couldn't help but gasp, "Thousands of branches can't even get close to him!"
Soon.
Chu Qiang and the others, familiar with the routine, quickly seized five Spirits of the Wood.
At this moment.
Jiang Li also broke through the cover of the pale golden willow branches, his eyes blazing with intensity: "Open!"
The Dragon God Domain instantly descended, not only affecting the Willow Tree King but also causing Chu Qiang, Zhao Ruo, and the others to feel their bodies suddenly sink. Their expressions immediately changed, and for a moment, they didn't know what was happening.
"Break!"
Jiang Li shouted, and with a thunderous strike of the Blood Shadow Battleblade, he unleashed a force exceeding a thousand tons onto the main trunk of the Willow Tree King.
"Boom!"
With the impact, even the earth trembled. A gaping hole, over ten meters wide, opened up in the Willow Tree King's trunk.
The Willow Tree King's pale golden branches, which had been frantically lashing at Jiang Li, quickly withered as its main trunk was injured, clearly indicating a decline in its life force.
"It can actually withstand my attack?"
Jiang Li was also somewhat surprised.
With the domain's enhancement, his attack had definitely exceeded a thousand tons. Even a Planetary Level powerhouse might not have such terrifying force.
He needed to remember that.
His Yin Yang Hunyuan Taiji Technique had a nine-fold increase in power, and with the Dragon God Domain's enhancement, coupled with concentrated mental energy, it was far more than just a ten-fold increase!
Yet, the Willow Tree King had managed to withstand it?! "In that case!"
Jiang Li's eyes narrowed, and the Blood Shadow Battleblade in his hand once again erupted with terrifying red light.
World Destruction!
Ninefold Thunderblade!
Magnetic Storm Flowing Blade!
