Chapter 306 The Immortal Tree Ming Daoist, Achieving Cooperation, The Whereabouts of the Barbarian King
Huh!
The cold wind blew, rustling the leaves.
As if hearing footsteps from behind, the melodious sound of the guqin gradually ceased, but the reverberating echoes still wafted through the heavens and earth, as hazy as mist.
The woman in white lifted the guqin from her knees, turned around, and revealed a face of cold and stunning beauty.
She seemed to have some foreign ancestry, with distinct features and a high nose bridge. Yet, her skin was very pale, resembling carved ice and snow, standing gracefully before Su Heng, deep in the shadow cast by the Bodhi Tree. Her stance was elegant, with an unreal sense of illusion.
"For ages untold, times unknown. I've long slumbered in these snowy mountains, why do you disturb my peaceful dream?" the woman looked towards Su Heng, her eyes deep and calm as she spoke.
"The Mythical Battlefield descends, chaos reigns across the lands, war ignites on all sides,"
Su Heng's scrutinizing gaze lingered on her before he replied, "In the magnificent panorama I have created, there is no place reserved for the three major Esoteric Sects. I deem them as threats to be eliminated, including the most ancient White Tower Temple."
"As you see, the White Tower Temple has now turned into history," the woman in white replied.
"Perhaps..."
Su Heng scoffed, sneering, "But in my eyes, your existence is more dangerous than White Tower Temple."
"Do you think I'm a hazard?" the woman in white replied, "But since the dynasty to which I belonged perished, I have secluded myself here, detached from worldly affairs for a thousand years. At that time, the great Zhou Dynasty had not even been established, and this land never belonged to you."
"I am the predecessor, you are the successor... yet you see me as a threat," the woman in white said calmly.
"So, you are trying to reason with me?" Su Heng asked.
"I am a person who values reason," the woman in white stared into his eyes, her reply earnest.
"But you should know, in this world, there is only strength and weakness, no right or wrong," Su Heng said, "Otherwise, the once-great, renowned Moon Dynasty would not have fallen thousand years ago, and you would not be in such a plight now."
"I came to conquer," Su Heng said, "either kneel before me or embrace destruction."
"Then I have no choice but to fight!" the woman in white declared coldly.
"Huh," Su Heng laughed, "If it were you in your prime, perhaps you truly might have had the capacity to challenge me. But now..."
Su Heng stroked his chin, thoughtfully speaking, "This surely isn't your true form, is it?"
The woman in white stared at him, then suddenly let out a light sigh, "Indeed, I can't really hide anything from you."
This voice sounded somewhat weary.
And it didn't seem to come from the woman herself, but from the lush Bodhi Tree beside her. Enjoy exclusive chapters from My Virtual Library Empire
Rustle!
The leaves trembled, soil churned.
Amid a violent scraping noise, the already immense Bodhi Tree grew even larger before Su Heng's eyes.
Its green leaves fell in droves, turning to ash mid-air. The original bark cracked and exploded open, masses of crimson flesh burst forth from the crevices, wrapping around the trunk.
In but the span of two or three breaths, this sacred and serene Bodhi Tree,
Transformed into a several hundred meters tall bloody, nefarious tree with flesh for bark and bones for branches, its body adorned with loathsome hanging corpses.
And as this bloody, nefarious tree appeared before Su Heng, dark clouds rolled in the sky, blocking out the sunlight, and soon a blood-colored lightning streaked across.
And the corpses hanging from its branches...
Weren't just monks, but also included powerful demons and ancient knights in full armor.
They were all dead, some mummified, some decayed, some relatively well-preserved. Strands of blood-red mist drifted from these bodies, quickly covering a radius of several thousand meters, enveloping Su Heng's robust figure within it.
