Douluo Dalu 4: Ultimate Fighting

10,000-year?

Hearing this, everyone’s faces changed. Their current level of cultivation was still unable to take on a 10,000-year soul beast! Bing Tianliang was very confident in his strength, but even he felt that way.

Fighting a 10,000-year Tree Demon was easier said than done. But this was the peripheral region, so why would there be a 10,000-year soul beast here? And it even came specially to find them?

“Is it related to that 1,000-year Tree Demon in the day?” Qian Lei asked in surprise.

“Highly likely, but right now isn’t the time to figure these things out,” Lan Xuanyu said. “We must initiate the attack and find the 10,000-year Tree Demon.”

“Find the 10,000-year Tree Demon? Initiate the attack?” Everyone looked at him differently when they heard what he said.

Wouldn’t that be courting death?

At this moment, the big trees around them were temporarily contained after being suppressed by the fireballs, and the fire would definitely spread to the other trees. The only good news was that these trees were burning up ferociously, turning into coke. They gave out some faint white lights that would fly towards the group.

Although the strength of one huge tree wasn’t a lot and only had the power of a 10-year soul beast, it could not be compared to having so many at once! In just a moment, as the trees burned, there was a pretty good energy gain.

“The 10,000-year Tree Demon could already mobilize so many trees by giving them an instinctive sense of combat,” Lan Xuanyu said. “It means that the Tree Demon’s cultivation might be more than 10,000 years and we would be beaten to death if we simply stayed here and remained passive. To control so many trees to attack us, it must have divided its Spiritual Power to many parts and infused these trees. With its Spiritual Power divided, it won’t be able to concentrate well. If we can find it, we might be able to take it down. If we were to kill a 10,000-year Tree Demon, all of our Soul Rings would probably be able to reach the 1,000-year realm.”

His risk-taking attitude appeared once again at this moment, and he wasn’t hesitant this time because they would be waiting for death if they continued staying there. That 10,000-year Tree Demon actually activated this sort of attack, which meant that it wasn’t afraid of fire at all.

While he spoke, there were changes in the trees around them. The trees that were set ablaze were actually carried by the trees behind them, then they were hurled in their direction. Huge fiery trees were projected towards the mountain, and there obviously wasn’t any footing on the mountain. This wasn’t something their flesh and blood could withstand.

“Go! Student Bing, Student Yu and Student Lin, lead the way. I will support you guys at the back while Qian Lei summons from behind. Liu Feng will remedy omissions and fill in when needed,” Lan Xuanyu said urgently.

At this moment, when faced with danger, the entire team really needed a pillar.

Asking himself honestly, Bing Tianliang realized he didn’t know how to deal with the situation either. Since he didn’t know how, he might as well just listen to Lan Xuanyu.

With that thought, they began moving without hesitation according to Lan Xuanyu’s instructions and quickly ran in a direction.

Lan Xuanyu came to a conclusion in his heart. With so many huge trees surrounding them, it was simply too difficult to charge out because nobody knew how deep this sea of trees was. Ordinary trees wouldn’t be enough to cause them harm but it would cause them to use their energy. Using up their energy would also be enough to kill them here.

Hence, he had already carefully observed the direction they would be charging towards and saw that it was going deeper into the soul beast forest. Assuming that the 10,000-year Tree Demon was led to them because of the 1,000-year Tree Demon that they killed, then it must be coming from the depths of the forest. The probability of encountering the 10,000-year Tree Demon was the highest in this direction.

Bing Tianliang took the lead. He hadn’t attacked much during the hunting of soul beasts during the day, instead opting to recuperate and build up energy the whole time. With the addition of the rest he had previously, he was totally charged up and in his best condition.

This number one genius of Ling Tian Academy was on fire; he immediately displayed his formidable strength.

Bolts of lightning were flickering around him, causing him to appear slightly illusionary. Whenever there was a branch sprouting out to attack them as they sprinted into the woods, it would explode the second it came into contact with his body. Bing Tianliang was like a human explosive, and there were sounds of explosion as they ran.

Fireballs blast out of the top of Lin Donghui’s head. He followed behind Bing Tianliang and made sure that the people at the back could get through smoothly.

Yu Tian brought out his Mo Sword, and broke through brambles and thorns as he moved forward quickly.

At the back, Qian Lei had summoned a Red Armored Dragon, but it wasn’t very useful because the trees were mostly attacking from the top. This couldn’t be helped anyway. Qian Lei stood on the Red Armored Dragon’s back with Lan Xuanyu and made use of its speed. They ordered it to follow Yu Tian, who was in front.

Lan Xuanyu released two Blue Silver Grass vines and wrapped each around Yu Tian and Ling Donghui, enhancing them. Liu Feng’s figure was faintly discernible at the back; he was fast enough, and with the Silver Moon Wolf Right Arm Bone, he was more stable. The White Dragon Spear was out and could pick at the attacks that were a threat to them. They were a line of six people charging their way through the woods swiftly.

At this moment, it was as if they were charging into a community of 10-year soul beasts; trees were being smashed into continuously and energies kept surging into their bodies non-stop. As the saying goes, ‘Many little drops make an ocean’. So even though the trees were slightly weaker, they all added up to quite a significant number.

This time, Lan Xuanyu wasn’t in a rush to summon Dong Qianqiu because in the upcoming battle, they could probably only summon her once. He must use the chance at an appropriate time.

When Lan Xuanyu made the risky decision to look for the 10,000-year Tree Demon, he had already begun planning the combat strategy. Under normal circumstances, they certainly weren’t a match for the 10,000-year soul beast, even with more people. However, nothing in this world is definite. If they could create an opportunity, a miracle might appear. He had always been very good at creating miracles.

Everyone kept moving forward and killing, and managed to travel a few hundred meters in a short while. However, after going deeper, they realized that their enemies were everywhere. All the trees around them bore fangs and brandished claws at them, their thick trunks smashing against them as they whipped them with their branches. Although these were simple attacks, they were everywhere.

Lin Donghui was in for a surprise when he saw Lan Xuanyu also creating fireballs and shooting them out. They weren’t as strong as his, but the latter had more accuracy. The fireballs that Lan Xuanyu shot out would always hit the branches and explode the tree trunks. Almost every fireball would bring about some return of energy for killing the trees.

Just how rare was this guy’s Martial Soul?

This thought surfaced in Bing Tianliang’s team, but nobody had time to think about it further at the moment.

Leading the way, Bing Tianliang naturally took on the most pressure, but his ability to turn his body into lightning bolts was very formidable. Trees were afraid of not only fire, but lightning as well. None of the trees were able to stop him.

“Lan Xuanyu, do we continue running? There seems to be no end!” Lin Donghui turned around and asked.

Lan Xuanyu replied without hesitation, “Continue, there will be an end. Even if that Tree Demon mobilized a large number of trees, the trees would only come from all sides at the beginning. No matter how strong its Spiritual Power is, there has to be a limit to it. As long as we continue charging in a single direction, we will be able to get out. When it senses that we’re getting out of its control, it would probably appear. Student Bing, you must be on the alert for a sudden attack by the 10,000-year Tree Demon…”

He was yelling loudly and emphasized the last sentence, but the moment he shouted, Bing Tianliang groaned. His body suddenly turned into countless lightning bolts that scattered everywhere, then he became one again before landing in front of Yu Tian with a pale face.
