Chapter 105: The Strange Person of the Ghostly Bamboo

However, they clearly looked down on Su Yuanshan, regarding him as an ordinary cultivator.

And the kind of newcomer who had blundered in recklessly; at least, that was what most of the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect believed in their hearts.

As their senior sister, the ceiling of combat power among them, she clearly had no interest in paying attention to Su Yuanshan, and even less desire to waste precious time on him, which was why she had spoken that way and why she was a bit impatient.

She was perhaps thinking, how much utility could an ordinary disciple from an outer sect have? How much capability could he have? That was why she couldn't be bothered to pay him any mind.

But what they did not know was that the abilities Su Yuanshan possessed and the methods he could employ were simply beyond their imagination; he could remain invincible based on the Vajra of Spiritual Speech alone.

But would he tell others, tell others this truth?

Clearly, Su Yuanshan had no such intention; the girl in red was very lazy, too lazy to bother with him, and he was even lazier, so naturally, he was too lazy to tell them, even though he already had the intention in his heart to go and find trouble with that Zhuxian Xian!

So, facing the contempt of the Heavenly Dao Sect disciples, he was also too lazy to pay attention, especially when one of the Heavenly Dao Sect disciples said to him:

"Your Excellency, do not follow us anymore, lest you bring us trouble!"

Trouble? Su Yuanshan found it somewhat amusing in his heart; I think you all are the trouble! And you won't let me follow? Who do you think you are?

This seat goes wherever he pleases!

However, he did not say these words out loud!

And at this moment, that girl in red led those Heavenly Dao Sect disciples away; they were truly in a hurry to find an exit to walk out of this bamboo forest.

……………。

But speaking of those monks from the Zheng-yang Temple, as well as those rogue cultivators, because they walked too fast, not long after entering the bamboo forest,

they were separated by the bamboo forest from the Yao-guang Sword Sect, the Azure Cloud Temple, the Kai-yuan Academy, Sima Wuhen, the girl in purple, and those people.

The monks of the Five Suns Temple wanted to go back to find them, but unfortunately, they could not find the way back.

The old monk chanted a Buddhist name and sighed.

"Amitabha, we were still a bit careless; this bamboo forest seems somewhat strange. Everyone must be careful and make sure not to get separated again!"

Those few rogue cultivators said in unison.

"Master, rest assured, we understand!"

However, no sooner had his voice fallen than they heard "Swish, swish, swish"; three of the rogue cultivators did not even understand what was happening before they were directly pierced through by bamboo and met their end on the spot!

The old monk of the Five Suns Temple saw this, his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly shouted.

"Careful, everyone stay away from those bamboo! Gather toward me!"

Those rogue cultivators only then noticed that the stalks of green bamboo beside them seemed as if they were alive, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws while emitting wanton mocking laughter at them; it was as strange as could be.

Those rogue cultivators hurriedly ran to the old monk's side to seek protection.

And the monks of the Five Suns Temple also began to circulate their techniques, laying down a golden, glittering protective shield around them.

Those monks also began to sit in a circle and chant the Buddhist Exorcism Mantra.

They saw some green bamboo struggling to pull their root systems out of the soil, gathering toward them just like people, but unfortunately, under the suppression of the waves of Buddhist sounds, they found it difficult to approach that golden light shield.

Seeing this, those rogue cultivators seemed to heave a sigh of relief, yet the next second, they saw a green shadow flash, and heard a "Bang" sound.

The golden light shield laid down by the Five Suns Temple monks was instantly shattered by someone; rather than calling it a person, it would be better to call it bamboo wearing human clothes!

Even stranger was that these bamboo had heads and faces, but their heads and faces did not look like the heads and faces of real people; they looked more like straw effigies!

Those rogue cultivators all looked on with drastically changed expressions, and even the old monk of the Five Suns Temple had a grave look!

There were a full five such bamboo people.

Following a "Hee", those five bamboo people lunged forward directly, their hands made of bamboo suddenly lengthening, and one could only hear "Swish, swish, swish."

One of the rogue cultivators suffered again, being pierced through the gut by a bamboo!

The others did not fare any better; under the storm-like attacks of the bamboo people, they retreated step by step, barely holding on.

The old monk let out a roar, pushing his entire cultivation to the maximum.

"Great Subduing Demon Palm!"

With a "Bang", one bamboo person could not dodge in time and was directly slapped apart, scattering onto the ground, struggling a few times before dying completely.

Seeing this, the crowd felt secretly happy, and just as they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, they saw a green light flash, and heard a "Squish" sound; the old monk was instantly hoisted up by a huge green bamboo and pinned directly to the ground.

He spat out a mouthful of blood with a "Pfft"; clearly, he could no longer live. This scene not only terrified those rogue cultivators, but even the monks of the Five Suns Temple were completely stunned. By the time the young monk reacted and cried out as he wanted to run over, he was held back by his fellow disciples.

Their eyes were filled with tears, their faces full of sorrow, and all they could do was keep chanting Buddhist names.

The one who killed the old monk in one blow was a larger bamboo person, but compared to the other bamboo people, its color was green, and its human facial features seemed more distinct; its hands and feet had already taken shape, but the color was green, appearing somewhat hard and reflecting a luster like jade.

He was the master of this bamboo forest, an existence known as Zhuxian!

Staring at these monks of the Five Suns Temple and those rogue cultivators, the master's eyes, like green jade, radiated only coldness and chill.

When he transformed into a green light again and charged toward those monks and rogue cultivators, all that was reflected on their faces was despair!

The despair in the eyes of those monks, that young monk, and those rogue cultivators—*squish, squish, squish, squish, squish, squish*.

Those monks of the Five Suns Temple and those rogue cultivators, although they tried to resist and gave their all, they discovered in despair that in the face of absolute strength, everything was futile.

So many of them did not even withstand a single move from the opponent before they perished in hatred, their corpses strewn on the spot; the entire group was pierced through by a giant green bamboo, just like a kebab!

They died tragically and heroically!

When Zhuxian waved his hand, those bamboo stalks acted as if they had gone mad, and very quickly, they devoured all those monks of the Five Suns Temple and those rogue cultivators!

Not even a scrap of flesh was left behind!

All that remained were pieces of blood-stained clothing!

While the monks of the Five Suns Temple were in a showdown with Zhuxian, Xie Lingyu of the Yao-guang Sword Sect, Lv Qingshan of the Azure Cloud Temple, as well as the middle-aged scholar from the Kai-yuan Academy, Sima Wuhen, and others were also caught in a bitter battle; they were facing three bamboo people.

These three bamboo people seemed even more formidable than those that dealt with the monks of the Five Suns Temple; despite there being so many people on Xie Lingyu's side, they were still being beaten back step by step.

Cai Lian of the Azure Cloud Temple and several disciples of the Kai-yuan Academy were even wounded, though fortunately, their injuries were not serious; they had only suffered minor wounds.

But the situation was not optimistic!

Just as their situation was becoming precarious, they heard "Swish, swish, swish"; seven or eight green bamboo stalks in a corner of the bamboo forest were suddenly cut down by someone, and immediately after, several people darted out. Among them was that girl in red, followed by a few others, with three small characters embroidered on their chests.

"Heavenly Dao Sect".

The girl in red seemed just about to breathe a sigh of relief, but suddenly seeing those bamboo people along with Xie Lingyu, Lv Qingshan, and the others, her expression tensed up again, and she could not help but utter a remark.

"How unlucky!"

Seeing this, Tian Ruoyun could not help but feel a surge of joy and hurriedly called out to them for help.

"Fellow Daoists, come over and help quickly!"

However, the girl in red did not pay her any heed, because in the very next second, a tall green figure had already stood before her.

At that moment, the girl in red's body seemed to freeze, unable to move in the slightest; her face lost all color, turning pale, and cold sweat trickled down from her forehead.

The one who had arrived was none other than the master of this bamboo forest—Zhuxian!

At that moment, not only the girl in red but the others also felt that terrifying pressure like a mountain, and their expressions all changed drastically!

At this moment, everyone's heart was filled with fear and unease, feeling that all of them were likely finished!

The large green bamboo person that had appeared before them seemed to be an existence they were simply unable to contend with!
