Chapter 44

Before the Wutong Holy Tree.

Lu Li heard the Five-Colored Sparrow's voice and became somewhat interested.

He wanted to destroy the Wutong Holy Tree just to completely cut off the Black Eagle King's martial dao path, but this Wutong Holy Tree is a holy object born of heaven and earth, and if not forced, he didn't want to waste such a heavenly treasure.

Being able to take it away would be even better!

He beckoned and put away the flame burning on the Five-Colored Sparrow.

"Can you really help me take the Wutong Holy Tree away?" Lu Li looked at it and said calmly.

"Yes."

The Five-Colored Sparrow vibrated its pair of five-colored wings and said, "I can try to communicate with it and let it follow us away from here."

"By doing this, aren't you afraid of the Hei Diao Wang's punishment?" Lu Li showed a look of half-smile.

"I am not the Hei Diao Wang's subordinate."

The Five-Colored Sparrow shook its head hurriedly.

"Not long ago, I was foraging in the endless wilderness and accidentally felt the aura of the Wutong Holy Tree; I wanted to borrow it for cultivation, but I didn't expect that as soon as I arrived in the city, I was driven out by the Black Eagle King..."

Speaking of this!

It couldn't help but stop, its fiery red eyes full of grievances, as if the Hei Diao Wang had done some terrible evil to it.

Lu Li felt somewhat amused.

He didn't know if this Five-Colored Sparrow was truly simple-minded or just born not long ago and had no survival experience.

This Wutong Holy Tree is the foundation of the Black Eagle King's martial dao; anyone who dares to target it is killed by it, and if it weren't for its extraordinary background, it would probably have been slapped to death by the Black Eagle King long ago.

He didn't care about these things, just asked, "Then how did you appear here at this moment?"

"After being driven out, I wandered around here and accidentally saw the Hei Diao Wang leading the fierce beast army away, so I sneaked in, but I didn't expect that not long after I came in, you broke in."

The Five-Colored Sparrow shrank its neck.

The eyes looking at Lu Li showed a look of fear again.

"So that's how it is."

Lu Li finally understood everything.

No wonder as soon as he appeared, it said it could help him take the Wutong Holy Tree away without any obstruction.

It probably didn't want to continue leaving the Wutong Holy Tree here!

Otherwise, as soon as the Hei Diao Wang returned, it would probably be driven out immediately.

Thinking of this, Lu Li smiled and said, "Then try it; if you can really help me take the Wutong Holy Tree away, you can practice under the Wutong Holy Tree at any time in the future."

"Really?"

The Five-Colored Sparrow cheered.

Vibrating its five-colored wings a few times.

It opened its childish mouth and spat out a mouthful of origin essence, which circled above the Wutong Holy Tree, constantly enlarging until it completely shrouded it.

Gradually.

Points of spiritual light appeared on the Wutong Holy Tree.

That spiritual light scattered into the air, circled around the Five-Colored Sparrow, and constantly entered its body.

And as this spiritual light dissipated, the Wutong Holy Tree seemed to be affected.

Branches and leaves shook!

The trunk shrank rapidly!

In a moment, it turned into a three-inch-tall seedling.

"This is..."

Lu Li was somewhat surprised.

"This is the symbiotic ability between me and the Wutong Holy Tree; it first stores the origin on its body in my body, and when we arrive at a safe place, I will return it to it, and it will be able to recover as before." The Five-Colored Sparrow explained with its small mouth open.

"Actually symbiosis!"

A sharp light flashed in Lu Li's eyes.

Phoenix perches on Wutong!

Legend has it that only the Divine Phoenix is born with Wutong!

Now that this Five-Colored Sparrow actually has this ability, could it be that it is truly as the legend says, the child of the Divine Phoenix, possessing the bloodline of the Divine Phoenix?

Lu Li suppressed the curiosity in his heart.

This is not a place for research; when he returns to Qian Cheng, there will be plenty of time to find the answer, no need to rush for a moment!

Thinking this, he beckoned and put away the Wutong Holy Tree.

"Follow me."

The five-colored wings vibrated and arrived on Lu Li's shoulder.

Lu Li flashed and disappeared amidst the pitch-black ghost mist with it.

Half an hour later.

This human and bird left Heishi Cheng.

They moved extremely fast, and before the Hei Diao Wang's various fierce beast armies left behind could surround them, they broke into the endless wilderness again.

At this moment.

Outside Qian Cheng.

Three fierce beast armies arrived together!

After days of fighting, humans suffered countless casualties and gradually fell into a disadvantage!

But, no one took a step back.

In Qian Cheng, countless martial dao powerhouses still rushed out, charging into the battlefield without hesitation.

Even, on the giant city wall of Qian Cheng.

Powerful weapons that had been sealed for a hundred years were set up.

Those weapons had great lethality!

But they didn't distinguish between friend and foe!

Especially the radiation within them, which could make fierce beasts mutate and evolve again.

But now, no one cared about that anymore.

Even if this battle would create more and more powerful fierce beasts, they had to guard Qian Cheng before the Qian Wang returned!

Otherwise, as long as Qian Cheng was broken!

The human race would definitely be plunged into misery!

Rumble!

High in the sky!

The terrifying battle was still continuing.

That was the killing of kings!

As early as half an hour ago, after constant probing, confrontation, and upgrading, this great battle ushered in the most difficult moment.

Hei Diao Wang!

Baihu Wang!

Lingshi Wang!

The three king fierce beasts took action together.

Their opponents were Yu Wuji, Cang Yuanzi, and the Eight Great Academies' Dean Zhao Xuanfeng and others, but among these three battle groups, except for Vice City Lord Yu Wuji, the other two were already in jeopardy.

Although Cang Yuanzi is the Dean of the Eight Great Academies and the teacher of the Qian Wang.

But he is old!

He had long since lost his peak combat power!

Even ten years ago, news of his passing in the City Lord Mansion had spread!

As for the Eight Great Academies' Dean Zhao Xuanfeng and others, they were only at the Martial Monarch level; they could block the Martial King-level fierce beasts entirely by relying on the power of the combined attack formation, which could not last long.

If this continued, as long as one of those two battle groups couldn't persist.

The situation of the entire battlefield would collapse instantly!

By then, even with those weapons already moved to the city walls, they probably wouldn't be able to block the rolling endless beast tide.

"Persist!"

"Must persist!"

"You must not be defeated; as long as you persist until the Qian Wang returns, the fierce beast army will retreat!"

Whether on the battlefield or in Qian Cheng.

All humans were praying, praying that the three major battle groups in the sky could persist!

But, their prayers were not answered!

Just the next moment, a shocking wave swept in all directions.

Immediately after, a wild laugh came.

"Haha, Martial Monarch and Martial King are worlds apart; thinking that you could contain me by relying on the combined strength of eight people, it's truly wishful thinking."

This wild laughter faded.

Zhao Xuanfeng and the other eight spat out blood and, like broken kites, fell rapidly toward the battlefield below.

"It's over!"

At this moment!

This thought rose in everyone's heart.

But just then, in another battle group, the Hei Diao Wang seemed to have suffered a huge blow and roared at the sky.

"Detestable human, dare to steal my Wutong Holy Tree, I will definitely tear you into pieces!"

This sorrowful roar was earth-shattering!

"Boom!"

After forcing Yu Wuji back with one palm, it turned and left the battlefield, rushing toward the endless wilderness.

In an instant!

Everyone on the battlefield was dumbfounded!

Sorry, this chapter is late, a bit stuck.
