Chapter 359: Chapter 311: Shangguan Zhao'er's Shock! (4K)
The earth shattered, and countless vines emerged from underground, killing dozens of Loose Cultivators and reducing them to puddles of blood.
A Tree Demon larger than a mountain crawled out from the depths of the earth. In its presence, Loose Cultivators of Void Refinement Realm and Unity Realm were utterly inconsequential, akin to ants shaking a tree.
"This is bad, it's the Old Demon of Li Mountain! A notorious Earth Immortal of Great Accomplishment from Cangyu, some Loose Immortals have perished at its hands!"
Some Loose Cultivators recognized the Tree Demon's identity and were stricken with horror.
The rest of the Loose Cultivators also turned pale.
They had not anticipated that the Great Demon outside Tianyang City would be the infamous Old Demon of Li Mountain.
Such a terrifying existence had actually appeared in Tianyang City!
Claiming to hail from Kunlun Immortal Mountain, Yan Zhiqiu felt the dread of the Old Demon of Li Mountain's cultivation and, clenching his teeth, quickly summoned his Flying Sword to dodge the incoming vines.
The realm of the Old Demon of Li Mountain far surpassed his expectations.
Yan Zhiqiu took out another Talisman and quickly infused it with True Qi, "May this command rush forth like a law! Tiangang Five Dispersions Fire, vanquish the demons of this world!"
Divine Fire sprayed forth, burning the attacking vines.
The Tiangang Five Dispersions Fire Talisman was the bane of the Tree Demon; dozens of vines were incinerated by the Divine Fire.
The scope of Tiangang Five Dispersions Fire continuously spread towards the main body of the Old Demon of Li Mountain.
"You, a mere Taoist, dare to oppose me?"
The Old Demon of Li Mountain scoffed coldly, a torrent of Demonic Qi surged forth, overwhelming the Tiangang Five Dispersions Fire.
"Even the Tiangang Five Dispersions Fire is ineffective against this demon; its cultivation might already be nearing the Heavenly Immortal Realm. I'm no match for it, better to make a swift escape."
Yan Zhiqiu, despite using a twelve-grade Talisman, could not kill the Old Demon of Li Mountain; after weighing his options, he decided to flee.
Suddenly, a resonant chanting echoed, accompanied by dazzling Buddhist light, and Celestial Maidens Scatter Flowers descended.
A mighty Buddhist light shone upon the main body of the Old Demon of Li Mountain.
A hole burnt by the Buddhist light appeared in the trunk of the Old Demon of Li Mountain, releasing a wretched scream.
"Is this a mid-grade Ultimate Treasure? A small sect possesses such a powerful artifact?"
Just as Yan Zhiqiu was about to make his escape, he noticed Sect Leader Lu summoning the Kashyapa Golden Light Mirror, whose Buddhist light scorched the vines and even injured the main body of the Old Demon of Li Mountain, causing him to pause.
If he joined forces with Sect Master Lu, they might rival the Old Demon of Li Mountain.
"Sword turns manifold!"
Yan Zhiqiu formed a sword gesture, his Immortal Sword unsheathed behind him—this was a lower-grade Ultimate Treasure—split into tens of thousands of Flying Swords, slicing through the vines!
A Unity Realm Loose Cultivator was entangled by the vines, at the brink of being crushed; the Flying Swords cut through, barely saving the person.
Tens of thousands of Flying Swords severed most of the vines.
"Sword returns in a moment!"
Yan Zhiqiu changed his hand gestures, and the myriad of Flying Swords converged from all directions towards the Tree Demon's main body, reforming into an Ultimate Treasure, striking the Old Demon of Li Mountain's true form in one blow!
"Damn you!"
The Old Demon of Li Mountain let out another ghastly scream.
"This person, whether it is his artifacts or spells, far surpasses a common Earth Immortal; his origins must be extraordinary."
Sect Leader Lu inwardly marveled.
Yan Zhiqiu was likely not some minor character.
However, the man was also unlucky, inexplicably entangled in the feud between Yellow Springs Sect and Jing Long Immortal Temple.
He probably didn't know that behind the scenes were two major sects fighting each other with spells, thinking it was a demon-slaying encounter with a powerful enemy.
"You two youngsters, low in realm, but your artifacts are more formidable than the next."
The Old Demon of Li Mountain's body rapidly shrank, aware that the larger its form, the easier it was to be hit by the artifacts of Sect Master Lu and Yan Zhiqiu, hence it transformed into a humanoid shape.
The Old Demon of Li Mountain turned into an androgynous elder with a walking stick, glaring viciously at Sect Leader Lu and Yan Zhiqiu.
The initial confrontation had already seen hundreds of Loose Cultivators killed by the Old Demon of Li Mountain.
The remaining Loose Cultivators were in utter panic.
Given the high cultivation of the Old Demon of Li Mountain, if they remained, they were bound to become its fodder.
"Dark Tree Realm!"
The Old Demon of Li Mountain stamped its staff, and innumerable vines once again broke through the soil, shading the sky and trapping everyone within.
The vines concealed the heavens, casting darkness like an eternal night.
"Sect Master Lu, this demon has cultivated for no less than eighty thousand years, with profound cultivation. Even with your mid-grade Ultimate Treasure and our combined efforts, we are likely no match for it. Our paths may cross again in another life, should fate allow it."
Knowing he was no match for the Old Demon of Li Mountain, Yan Zhiqiu beat a retreat once more.
This character...
Sect Leader Lu was left speechless.
Yan Zhiqiu indeed had commendable cultivation and an imposing aura, yet he was both greedy and cowardly; truly an odd person.
As Yan Zhiqiu attempted to use his Immortal Sword to break through the tree realm, millions of vines twisted and lunged at him.
The Immortal Sword's Sword Qi cut through countless vines, but they were seemingly endless.
One of the vines transformed into the shape of a spear, piercing through Yan Zhiqiu's Sword Qi and impaling his left chest!
"Puh!"
Yan Zhiqiu spat out blood, forced to retreat.

The Old Demon of Li Mountain was Earth Immortal, but its eighty thousand years of cultivation placed it not far off from a Heavenly Immortal-level master.
"Alas, I, Yan Zhiqiu, have roamed the world for many years, only to meet my end today in this unknown place of Tianyang City."
Yan Zhiqiu sighed resignedly.
"Even the Taoist from Kunlun Immortal Mountain is helpless against the Old Demon of Li Mountain; now we are surely doomed."
The Loose Cultivators were increasingly panicked.
"Everyone need not panic; I have summoned Fairy Shangguan from the Jing Long Immortal Temple to exorcize the demon."
Since he was playing a role, Sect Leader Lu decided to do it convincingly, loudly announcing the arrival of Shangguan Zhao'er.
Suddenly, a sword Qi descended from the sky, splitting the tree realm, shattering thousands of vines!
This one sword stretched across miles, striking the very body of the Mount Li Great Demon, causing it to sustain severe injuries as a sword mark appeared on its main form, and its walking stick artifact was broken in half!
The rampant Demonic Qi was also cleaved by the Sword Qi, as people saw daylight once again.
