"Gulu gulu!" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

This bizarre creature kept making strange sounds, like slime enveloping Qin Yuesheng, forming a wall of obstruction between the old locust tree and Qin Yuesheng.

Looking at this monster, Qin Yuesheng suddenly felt an endless sorrow in his heart, as if all the extremely sad things in life had hit him, leaving him inexpressibly helpless and despondent, wanting to discard the blade in his hand, sit on the ground, and wait to die.

The old locust tree laughed heartily; over the centuries it lived in Antong County, it secretly collected countless grievances and resentments, finally molding them into this magical treasure ’Distillation of Resentment’ which can affect one’s mind.

This item has no harmful abilities but can make the enemy lose without a fight, surrendering without resistance, leaving themselves at its mercy, ready for slaughter or torture as desired.

Seeing Qin Yuesheng swaying all over, looking like he could sit down at any moment, the old locust tree immediately swung its branches to strike him.

But at this moment, Qin Yuesheng suddenly reached into the Celestial Demon’s pouch and took something out, immediately putting it around his neck.

"Roar!"

With a loud shout from Qin Yuesheng, a sonic wave shot out in a straight line, striking the old locust tree’s ’Distillation of Resentment’, shattering it completely without leaving a trace.

"What?!" The old locust tree and squirrel were simultaneously shocked, finding it hard to believe that Qin Yuesheng still had the strength to counter after being affected by the Distillation of Resentment.

"You’ve used many tricks, but today you shall not escape." Qin Yuesheng swung the Celestial Demon Evil Blade, immediately executing the Thunderous Technique from the Seven Great Limits of Heaven and Earth.

Thunder rumbled in the sky, striking a celestial thunderbolt straight onto the Celestial Demon Evil Blade, turning into a dancing thunder snake, accompanied by the blade flashing in the local vicinity.

Boom!

At the moment when the thunder exploded, the old locust tree felt fear in its heart. Demons, the longer they cultivate, the more calamities they face.

There are four trials from heaven for demons: the Celestial Water Calamity, Celestial Fire Calamity, Celestial Thunder Calamity, and Celestial Wind Calamity.

These occur once every two hundred years. If one can withstand four calamities, demons will then live freely, breaking free from the limits of plants, insects, birds, and beasts, with the Celestial Dao no longer bothering them.

The old locust tree had experienced the Celestial Fire Calamity less than a year ago, carrying injuries. Now, suddenly seeing the thunder appear in the night sky, it couldn’t help feeling terrified, urgently employing its own methods to resist.

The squirrel saw the situation was dire, immediately finding a tree hole in the old locust tree and burrowing in for protection.

The old locust tree gathered all its branches, instantly forming a tree wall to block Qin Yuesheng’s blade skill.

Boom!

The Celestial Demon Evil Blade, carrying thunder, hit the tree wall, causing lightning to burst forth. The tree wall only resisted for three breaths before a knife mark was gouged by the Celestial Demon Evil Blade, thunder pouring in, charring many branches black and igniting flames.

Trees fear fire and thunder the most, and even as spirits cannot escape the damage from these two. As the old locust tree scattered its branches, Qin Yuesheng held the knife and sword close to the tree trunk, attacking the old locust tree’s face again.

As a tree spirit that lived for over four hundred years, the old locust tree was certainly not easy to deal with; its body suddenly shook, and numerous spikes sprouted instantly from its surface, each as hard as iron and black as ink, evidently poisonous.

Qin Yuesheng used the Dragon-Slaying Sword to deploy a sword technique acquired from the secret collection of the sword grave, which Bai Yue Sword Saint had deduced to a Half-Step Divine Skill level, a technique ethereal and agile like a dragon playing in the sea.

Qin Yuesheng’s sword tip darted in quick succession, slicing dozens of times in the blink of an eye, flattening and smoothing the spikes so they posed no further threat.

Having lost its protective spikes, the old locust tree resorted to another tactic; the canopy hummed lightly, and locust tree leaves spun towards Qin Yuesheng like flying darts.

There were thousands of leaves, almost covering every area around Qin Yuesheng, leaving him with no escape or retreat; either he had to resist head-on or surrender to die.

Qin Yuesheng was certainly not one to be easily captured; as thousands of locust leaves as hard as iron assaulted, he had already raised the Celestial Demon Evil Blade, slashing with the technique ’Seven Great Limits of Heaven and Earth. Crumble Mountain’, combating fiercely.

Numerous mountain shadows crashed against the leaves, causing them either to fly backwards or shatter and collapse under Qin Yuesheng’s knife momentum.

"Where did this expert come from! Such terrifying power." Squirrel exclaimed in disbelief.

Previously, Human Race experts had come to Antong County, but all were captured easily by the old locust tree and drained of vitality. Qin Yuesheng’s formidable strength was a first for the squirrel, causing it to worry a bit about the old locust tree.

When the last locust leaf fell, the ground was covered with rotten leaves.

The old locust tree was once lush with leaves, but in the fight with Qin Yuesheng, it became bare like a dead tree entering winter.

"Ha-ha, any other demon techniques, feel free to try them." Qin Yuesheng leaped up, forcefully hurling the Dragon-Slaying Sword out with Flying Knife Skill, aiming straight at the old locust tree’s left eye. As the old locust tree blocked, he gripped the Celestial Demon Evil Blade tightly with both hands, swinging powerfully towards the tree trunk.
