Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting-Chapter 255 - 138: Still Itching? Holy Sect, Adding Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill_2
Its body was indeed frighteningly hard, who knows how many years it had been tempered, and even one slash couldn’t cut through it.
A sticky liquid, like blood, gushed out, emitting a foul stench.
"Alright, I will obediently become a tree god in the future..."
Feeling the intense pain from the roots, branches, and trunk, the Peach Tree Demon felt a wave of fear in its heart.
Having developed intelligence for over a thousand years, it hadn’t lived enough yet, and didn’t want to die.
For over a thousand years, it had been growing here and hadn’t seen the bustling world outside, nor had it seen high mountains and waterfalls, deserts and seas; it couldn’t just die like this.
"Weren’t you going to eat me?"
Wei Fan’s indifferent voice sounded, as True Power surged like a tide into the Tiger Soul Saber.
"I was joking..."
The Peach Tree Demon’s voice was humble, seeing that Wei Fan’s aura showed no sign of calming down, hurriedly shouted, "You’ve already chastised me, my lord Commander, you can go back and report now... I realize my mistake, and from now on, I promise to protect the people of Taoyuan Town well, and will no longer perform any sacrifices!"
The words fell, and what responded to it was a purple sword aura from Wei Fan.
Dozens of zhang of sword aura slashed through the air, accurately cutting onto the previous blade mark, the Peach Tree Demon’s voice came to an abrupt halt, and the illusory face on the trunk shattered with a puff and disappeared without a trace.
Bang!
The massive tree crown collapsed like a mountain, stirring up dust clouds like dragons.
Wei Fan gently swiped his sleeve, and the smoke and dust all over the sky dissipated. Over the ruins of the earth, a giant peach tree was cut in half, flowing with crimson juice.
Its Divine Soul had already been shredded along with that slash.
[Slain Peach Tree Demon, gained 5000 years of ordinary power, 10 spirit soul power]
[Ordinary Power: 32900 years]
[Spirit Soul Power: 30 years]
Looking around, almost the entire Taoyuan Town had become ruins, with few intact houses left.
"The Tree God is dead!"
"Fellow villagers, let’s fight it out with these lackeys of the Demon Suppression Bureau!"
...
Outside Taoyuan Town, someone shouted in grief and anger, and the crowd surged.
"Zhao Family, not a single one shall be left, others who dare defy will be slain on the spot."
He looked towards Situ Ying and others in the distance and spoke coldly.
In the place where the Peach Tree Demon originally grew, he had long seen a heap of white bones.
Of course, he didn’t make a move again, the Celestial Martial Artist of the Zhao Family was dead, most of the others were True Qi Martial Artists and Acupoint Martial Artists. For a dignified Commander of the Demon Suppression Bureau to kill a bunch of True Qi Martial Artists, others might not think it’s beneath them, but he does.
"Subordinates obey!"
Situ Ying and others shouted sharply, drawing their swords and charging into the Zhao Family crowd.
The Zhao Family had colluded with the Peach Tree Demon and even packaged themselves as a religion, already having unique clothing, making them very recognizable.
Moreover, when fleeing from Taoyuan Town earlier, they stood together, fearing others wouldn’t be able to round them all up.
In the midst of the sword’s light, heads rolled to the ground, and in just a dozen breaths, over a hundred people of the Zhao Family became corpses.
The other people in Taoyuan Town all stared in horror at Wei Fan.
Those who had previously clamored to fight against the Demon Suppression Bureau were now all trembling.
Over a hundred corpses lay on the ground, blood pooling, what Tree God could be more important than their lives.
Wu Shiping began ordering his subordinates to find people from the nearby government office, as the entire Taoyuan Town had almost become ruins, many would be homeless, and these all required dealing with, as they didn’t have enough manpower themselves.
Wei Fan turned around and sliced open the Peach Tree Demon’s trunk with the Tiger Soul Saber, soon extracting a core section the size of an egg and over two meters long.
This type of plant demon didn’t have a demon pill, all its essence was in this core section, which was a true treasure.
The tree heart was as crystalline as jade, emitting a faint resonance.
Wei Fan squeezed it hard, yet it remained unharmed, with an astonishing elasticity.
"It can be forged into a treasure bow!"
Wei Fan’s eyes lit up; the length of the tree heart was just right to build a treasure bow, the only thing missing was a fine bowstring.
"I’ll go back to the Demon Suppression Bureau first, you can make your way back slowly!"
Having settled these matters, Wei Fan decided not to stay any longer, leaving the rest for Wu Shiping and others to handle.
Situ Ying wanted to speak but stopped.
Elder Huo did send you to reprimand the Peach Tree Demon, not to kill it outright.
"You can transport the body of this tree demon back to the Demon Suppression Bureau, and feel free to take some for yourselves."
However, before he could say anything, Wei Fan’s figure soared into the sky and disappeared into the distant horizon.
Situ Ying was overjoyed, hardly caring about the fact that Wei Fan had directly dealt with the tree demon.
After all, Wei Fan himself was the Commander, and if the sky fell, it would be on him to hold it up.
The body of a Concentrated Spirit Demon Fiend was full of treasures, this tree demon’s body was comparable to an Elementary Divine Soldier, even after dying, cutting a section could yield a top-level Celestial Human Artifact.
Such a thing wasn’t of much use to Wei Fan but was a top treasure for them.
It took two days to rush here, but Wei Fan took only half an hour to fly back.
He landed right in front of the Merit Hall, with Huo Tianzheng appearing shortly thereafter.
Huo Tianzheng was somewhat surprised, looking Wei Fan up and down: "Back so soon?"
Wei Fan nodded: "Yes!"
Huo Tianzheng showed a smile: "How did it go? Did that tree demon behave after the reprimand?"
Wei Fan looked up: "It’s obedient now, though it couldn’t take much of a beating, after just a few strikes, I killed it!"
"..."
Huo Tianzheng fell silent, not speaking for a while, did you... kill it by ’reprimanding’?
"Are you saying you killed the Peach Tree Demon?"
His voice carried an indescribable tone, and his expression was hard to tell whether he was angry or surprised.
Wei Fan nodded again.
Elder Huo sighed: "Forget it, dead is dead. This time it indeed went too far, its death is for the best, cutting off others’ unrealistic hopes, lest it grows into something uncontrollable."
He should have thought of it sooner, given Wei Fan’s tendency to kill wherever he went, unless one doesn’t break the law, otherwise, they won’t escape with their life in his hands.
The tree demon probably thought Wei Fan was like Situ Ying and others, who considered the bigger picture and worried about their future. Just provoking him slightly, how could Wei Fan not strike?
Being a part-time Commander, why would he fear any of your connections?
Even as a constable, he dared to eradicate the City Lord’s family, let alone now that he has spread his wings and reached the Divine Realm.
Not to mention just having ties with the high-ranking elites of Tongzhou, even bringing up the Emperor wouldn’t help.
Dead is dead, anyway, no authority is of any use to Demon Hunters; even the Demon Suppression Bureau Headquarters can’t control Demon Hunters.
Wei Fan shook his head: "It didn’t provoke me, but upon knowing my identity, it wanted to eat me, so I killed it."
Huo Tianzheng was stunned, only then remembering Wei Fan was supreme bait, any demon or monster would want to take a bite upon seeing him.
"Are there any other demons that need a reprimand?"
Huo Tianzheng shook his head like a rattle, there aren’t many demons that need the Commander’s personal chastisement.
"What about Nine Bends Mountain? Xueyi hasn’t returned yet, did the reprimand not go well, do I need to go help out personally?"
Huo Tianzheng was startled, only then understanding Wei Fan hadn’t killed enough: "Don’t act recklessly, killing the Peach Tree Demon is one thing, those aristocrats can’t truly do anything to you, you’re just temporarily deputizing as Commander.
The demons at Nine Bends Mountain are different; they can’t be killed, as they aren’t just some wild demons."
Wei Fan showed a confused expression.
Huo Tianzheng said: "Demons also have legacies, like sects of the Human Race recruiting disciples outside. The Great Demon of Nine Bends Mountain is already a disciple of the Holy Sect, and unless they act excessively, it’s best not to kill them, or it could bring disaster to the entire Great Victory Dynasty...
You should temporarily sit in Su City, something might happen at Black Wind Ridge anytime, don’t run around. Tomorrow is He Tai Xian’s funeral, you need to attend it."
Leaving the Merit Hall, Wei Fan returned to his courtyard and took out the Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill.
He’d been running around outside these few days and hadn’t had the chance to cultivate this martial art that Fu Shizheng was willing to betray the Human Race to obtain.
He wasn’t too familiar with Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill, but judging from Long Xueyi’s serious expression, it must be extraordinary.
He read it word by word, and the panel in front of him began to flicker.
[Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill (Uninitiated)]
Wei Fan couldn’t help but show a smile.
If it appeared on the panel, it meant there was no issue with the cultivation technique, and Fu Shizheng truly made a wedding dress for himself, no wonder he was so unwilling before he died.
Gathering his heart spirit, Wei Fan no longer hesitated, starting to add power to the Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill.
