Chapter 103: Demon-Subduing Sword Box

When the low, deep zither sound reached Si Qingguo's ears, she thought she was having auditory hallucinations. The zither sound was fierce and unyielding, terrifyingly rapid, with the sound of clashing metal, overflowing with killing intent. And Ning Qingchen frowned upon hearing the sound...

It was Qian Chen playing a piece from his past life, "Zheng Feng"!

Waves of thunder sounds rolled. The Soundless Divine Thunder merged with the increasingly rapid killing intent in the zither sound, even more terrifying than when Qian Chen tested the zither yesterday. The lingering, increasingly insidious thunder light shrouded every space around the towering demonic tree. Only the place where Ning Qingchen and Seeing Yan Shu were was slightly weaker.

Hearing the undisguised killing intent in the zither sound, the willow tree demon, although it didn't know what the gradually accumulating terrifying power was...

It also knew it couldn't let Qian Chen continue like this!

It swung out countless willow branches. Tens of thousands of emerald willow branches emitted blood light, looking soft and boneless, but in the blood light, they became as sharp and hard as flying swords of lower quality.

The willow branches extended for hundreds of miles, stabbing toward Qian Chen.

At this moment, it was like countless flying swords stabbing, covering the sky and earth, almost submerging the space Qian Chen was facing.

As the zither sound gradually became rapid, constantly flying with "scratching" sounds, Qian Chen casually scratched across the zither surface. Wave after wave of Soundless Divine Thunder surged out. The tens of thousands of willow branches gradually turned into flying ash. The infinitely wriggling willow branch tentacles surged like a flood, but were constantly evaporating on the way, constantly being turned into powder by the zither sound.

But the willow demon was like mad, mobilizing all its tentacles, even letting Seeing Yan Shu leave sword marks on its demonic body. As long as it didn't threaten its foundation, it ignored everything and only extended the willow branch tentacles toward Qian Chen. The tentacles that were constantly shattered and constantly regenerated finally slowly arrived in front of Qian Chen.

Constantly shattering, constantly regenerating... with difficulty approaching Qian Chen's brow by an inch, an inch.

At this moment, the zither piece finally reached the rapid, short, and fragmented small notes. After this series of fragmented notes, there was a short but long silence. When the willow demon extended its tentacles to the point of almost touching him, Qian Chen played the final tail note.

At this moment, the Soundless Divine Thunder spread throughout the void was suddenly triggered.

Countless thunder sounds vibrated.

The inaudible thunder sounds distorted the void. In Si Qingguo's incredulous eyes, and in the expressions of Seeing Yan Shu and Ning Qingchen, who had seen it but were still shocked, it suddenly submerged the entire void.

The willow tree demon's dense tree root tentacles shattered instantly, and even its fundamental demonic body suffered no small damage...

Seeing Yan Shu, who had been prepared, had an emerald Core Formation appear behind his head, merging with the sword pill. The sword light crisscrossed, turning into a hundred-foot-long rainbow, and in an instant, slashed at the tree demon's roots. The willow tree demon roared, and the strange, neither-male-nor-female demonic sound shrieked high, trying to shake Seeing Yan Shu's mind with the demonic sound.

But Seeing Yan Shu, immersed in the sword path, only treated it as the mountain wind blowing in his face.

The sword light just turned, and slashed at the tree demon's roots for the second and third time... This time, the towering demonic tree was finally cut off at the roots.

After its foundation was destroyed, the tree demon still wanted to struggle, but this time, having lost the replenishment of infinite monstrous vitality, it was weakly urged by the Demon-Breaking Golden Needle on its Core Formation and turned into fuel. The huge demonic tree collapsed instantly, the charred charcoal on its body constantly expanding, and dark red fire light appeared all over its body...

The large yellow chicken withdrew the Demon-Breaking Golden Needle. The Sun True Fire on it burned the essence of the wood, seeming to bring it quite a few benefits.

After another bitter battle, everyone landed in front of the collapsed towering demonic tree and couldn't help but let out a deep breath.

"Finally, another arm of the Blood Demon has been removed." Seeing Yan Shu looked at the dense white bones scattered around and sighed: "How many living beings has this demon killed? When will it be possible to clear these demons from the world?"

"Perhaps there will never be such a day!" Qian Chen sighed: "The Dao grows and the demon wanes, the Dao wanes and the demon grows. Human hearts are not peaceful, and in the end, it can only be like this."

"Little monk!" Si Qingguo exclaimed.

She flew to the root system of the demonic tree, only to see the young monk Shi Fang lying on the ground, trembling, while the Daoist Zhiqiu stood proudly beside him. Qian Chen said calmly: "I saw he didn't look like a lackey of the demon, so I let Zhiqiu protect him secretly."

After saying this, Qian Chen and the others heard the prompt of the Lord of Samsara completing another recognition of the righteous path.

The tree demon's body was indeed extremely large, and the remaining root system was the size of a small hill. Ning Qingchen slashed open the obstruction of the tree roots with a sword, revealing a wide, deep crevice leading to the mountain belly under the tree roots. Strands of demonic qi flowed out from the crevice, making the nearby people restless.

"This must be the demon cave leading to the Black Mountain!"

"The crevice goes deep into the place where the Blood Demon is suppressed. It leaks Nine Heavens Demon Qi, demonizing the living beings in this area. As a result, this willow tree grew at the mouth of the demon cave, and after being infected with demonic qi for a long time, it became one of the four great demonic generals under the Blood Demon." Ning Qingchen analyzed: "I don't know where the Demon-Subduing Magic Treasure is hidden by it."

Qian Chen then asked: "Where did you get the suicide note you obtained?"

Ning Qingchen said with lingering fear: "This tree demon's thousands of willow branch clones almost made it impossible for me to get out. That suicide note was obtained from the pile of white bones at the tree demon's roots that I saw earlier. At that time, I saw a jade-like relic of a Daoist senior placed at the top of the pile of white bones. I originally wanted to save it and let that senior be buried in peace, but unexpectedly obtained the suicide note."

"The suicide note has no spiritual energy, so it wasn't taken away by the tree demon." Qian Chen pointed, and the ground cracked open on its own, revealing the huge and complex root system below. It's just that the tree demon had already been fixed by the Demon-Breaking Golden Needle on its Core Formation and killed, and its demonic soul and true spirit had long since vanished.

No matter how developed this root system was, it was impossible for it to sprout again.

Among the heavy root systems, there were many corpses that had not yet turned into white bones, including humans and beasts, densely entangled by the tree roots.

Among them, there were many spiritual relics and magic treasures. Many had been sucked by the tree roots for a long time, had lost all spiritual energy, and had become rusty.

As the huge root system was excavated, a huge root nodule ball was revealed in the center where the tree roots were densest. In front of Qian Chen and the others, it was as high as a small hill. Seeing Yan Shu slashed open the root nodule ball that had already exhausted its essence with a casual sword. In the center of the root nodule, a corner of a box was revealed.

Seeing Yan Shu took it out, and it was a long, narrow sword box...

"This is the Demon-Subduing Sword Box of True Person Chilong!" Zhiqiu said excitedly.

Seeing Yan Shu just wanted to return the sword box to Zhiqiu, but saw him push it away: "Since the ancestor didn't leave the sword box, it means it was entrusted to a fated person. Since I have no sword, why do I need a sword box? Brother Yan killed this tree demon, which shows he is a fated person. It is best to entrust this sword box to Brother Yan!"

Seeing Yan Shu turned to look at Qian Chen and Ning Qingchen, but heard Qian Chen say: "The sound of this burning willow tree demon body is very crisp. Perhaps there are zither materials I need..." He lowered his head to dig up the tree demon's remains, looking for suitable spiritual materials.

And Ning Qingchen also pushed it away: "Master Feng obtained the Demon-Breaking Golden Needle earlier, so I owe the Yan Shixiong Brothers a favor. Yan Yan Shixiong Yan must let me repay one!" ===== CHAPTER 104 =====
