Nie Rong felt a sense of relief; fortunately, he was heading to the capital with Qin Feng. Otherwise, they would definitely be doomed this time.
He squeezed a piece of paper in his hand, a calligraphy work from the Grand Scholar. Just throwing it out could injure even a Golden Core Demon, but it wouldn't be enough to kill. After all, it was just a piece of paper, and he had almost used it on that monster just moments ago.
Now, facing the even more powerful Tree Demon, his palms were sweaty, and he felt a bit panicked. Moreover, there was an even stronger Black Mountain Old Demon lurking behind; despair began to creep into his heart.
"Hmph, it seems this little scholar has some strength after all." A hoarse and unpleasant voice echoed as a Woman in Purple Clothes emerged from the black mist. She leaned on a Black Dragon Head Staff, her face adorned with a cold smile.
Qin Feng narrowed his eyes; this Tree Demon was indeed formidable, at the peak of the Golden Core stage. It was no wonder it had caught the attention of the Black Mountain Old Demon.
Suddenly, Qin Feng turned in surprise toward a certain direction. "Tree Demon, you deserve to die for daring to attack the entire Guobei County!"
An angry roar resonated through the air, followed by a massive sword shimmering with golden light slicing through the black mist. Everyone looked up in astonishment as a figure descended from the sky.
"Boundless heavens and earth, grant me your power!" The figure shouted fiercely as the Golden Giant Sword swung down towards the Tree Demon.
"Stinky Taoist! It's you again ruining my plans!" The Tree Demon’s expression darkened.
With a loud explosion, the ground erupted as a tree root as thick as a barrel shot up to smash against the giant sword.
The collision between the tree root and the giant sword resulted in a resounding crash; while the root was severed, the sword's brilliance dimmed and fell to the ground.
The giant sword landed before the figure. The Daoist reached out to grasp the hilt, causing the giant sword to shrink into a long sword in his hand. He coldly regarded the Tree Demon and declared, "Your time is up."
The Tree Demon let out a cold laugh. "Stinky Taoist, we've kept to ourselves, and you want to break the rules?"
"Hmph, you broke the rules first. You promised not to step foot in Black Mountain, yet here you are in Guobei County." The Daoist's expression darkened.
The Tree Demon glanced warily at the Daoist and then pointed at Nie Xiaoqian. "I only want her. Give her to me, and I will return to Black Mountain."
The Daoist was taken aback and turned to look at Nie Xiaoqian. Qin Feng moved quickly, positioning himself in front of her. He knew there were spells that could see through Nie Xiaoqian's entire being.
The Daoist frowned, preparing to use Tian Yan to investigate what was going on with this woman. "Kid, step aside."
Qin Feng scrutinized the Daoist from head to toe and said casually, "Yan Yixia?"
The Daoist was momentarily stunned. "You know the old Taoist?"
Qin Feng sighed slightly. "Do you need to take a look at that beard on your face? If you're not Yan Yixia, then who else could you be?"
"I've heard of him," Qin Feng added nonchalantly.
Yan Yixia furrowed his brow. He had been living in seclusion at Lan Ruo Temple; how could this young man have heard of him? He felt that this boy was somewhat mysterious.
Deciding not to insist on seeing Nie Xiaoqian any longer, he turned back to the Tree Demon. "As long as I am here, you won't be able to do anything unlawful."
