Chapter 749

Zhao Linger drew the Green-Sorrow Sword and flew directly toward the tree demon. She didn't know the Sword-Flying Technique, so she could only engage in close-quarters combat with the tree demon.

Lin Fan watched Zhao Linger fighting the tree demon, lost in thought. In fact, there was little difference between the moves of the Immortal Martial and Comprehensive Martial arts; it was just that Comprehensive Martial arts used internal energy, while Immortal Martial arts used spiritual energy.

This was like the same gun, one loaded with ordinary bullets and the other with explosive bullets; the same gun, but the power exerted was different.

Fighting the tree demon, Zhao Linger's immortal arts were of little help to her, and she was several minor realms behind the tree demon. If it weren't for the indestructible divine sword power of Green-Sorrow, she would have already fallen into a disadvantage.

"Young Master, your wife seems unable to take down the tree demon. Why don't I go help?"

Seeing Zhao Linger unable to win for a long time, Yan Chixia said to Lin Fan somewhat anxiously.

"No need. Linger is just using her to practice; it will be over soon!"

Lin Fan stopped Yan Chixia, not wanting him to interfere in Linger's battle. If there were real danger, he, the husband, would have already stepped in.

"Nine Heavens Profound Lightning, transform into divine thunder. Magnificent heavenly might, guided by the sword!"

Just as Lin Fan's voice fell, Zhao Linger flew into the high sky, walking seven steps in the air, stepping on the seven stars, like a fairy dancing in the clouds. However, the next moment, heaven and earth suddenly changed color; dark clouds gathered in the sky, lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled. Zhao Linger held the Green-Sorrow Sword high and performed the Divine Sword Lightning Control Technique, summoning endless thunder.

Thunder was originally the nemesis of the demon race, especially since the tree demon's true form was an old locust tree, and it had committed many evils and harmed the heavens. Seeing Zhao Linger summon thunder, it was scared out of its wits and immediately let out a strange cry, drilling into the ground, attempting to use the earth to avoid the thunder.

"Fall!"

Zhao Linger waved the Green-Sorrow Sword in her hand, and endless thunder descended from the sky, chasing the tree demon. Although the tree demon drilled into the ground quickly, the speed of the thunder was even faster, and it soon caught up with the tree demon underground.

"Ah! You actually dare to kill me! The Black Mountain Old Demon will not let you off, and you will definitely not have a good end!"

The tree demon couldn't withstand the thunder and was blasted into annihilation, but before it died, it didn't forget to curse Lin Fan and the others.

"Brother Lin Fan, how was Linger's Divine Sword Lightning Control Technique?"

Zhao Linger flew back to Lin Fan's side, somewhat proudly asking for credit.

"Not bad. It seems Linger has been very diligent these years and hasn't been lazy. This Divine Sword Lightning Control Technique is performed quite well!"

Lin Fan pinched Zhao Linger's nose and then said with a doting expression.

"That's of course! I've been cultivating every day for these ten years!"

Zhao Linger was praised by Lin Fan and immediately beamed with joy.

"Bold monster, die!"

"Heaven and earth are boundless, heaven and earth borrow the law!"

Suddenly, Yan Chixia's expression changed, and he performed a magic formula, blasting toward the side.

"Ah!"

Several female ghosts were blasted out, their figures becoming even more illusory; they were clearly injured by Yan Chixia.

"So it's you group of female ghosts who helped the evildoer, and you still dare to spy in secret! Die!"

Recognizing that the female ghosts were the subordinates who helped the tree demon seduce passing men, Yan Chixia drew the Huishan Xuan Yuan Sword and prepared to kill them.

"Lin Fan!"

Suddenly, one of the female ghosts called out Lin Fan's name. Lin Fan's expression flickered slightly, and he stopped Yan Chixia.

"Who are you? No, what kind of ghost are you, actually knowing me?"

Lin Fan beckoned, and the female ghost flew to his side involuntarily.

"This slave, Nie Xiaoqian, was originally a young lady from a noble family who died in a foreign land. After death, I turned into a lonely ghost and was coerced by the tree demon to harm people, but this slave was truly helpless. I hope the young master can see the truth!"

"I ask you, why do you know who I am!"

"This slave just heard this fairy call the young master 'Brother Lin Fan', so I dared to plead with the young master, hoping the young master can show mercy and give this slave a way to live!"

Nie Xiaoqian paused upon hearing this. She had called Lin Fan's name in a moment of desperation, but she couldn't speak of the diary copy. What should she do?

Fortunately, she noticed Zhao Linger, who was looking at her curiously beside Lin Fan, so she thought of an excuse.

"You are already a ghost, how can I give you a way to live? Ghosts shouldn't be afraid of death either!"

Seeing that Nie Xiaoqian was hiding something, Lin Fan asked playfully.

"Young Master, even ants cling to life, let alone a lonely ghost like me. I hope the young master will show mercy; Xiaoqian is willing to be a slave and maid to serve the young master and his wife!"

Nie Xiaoqian's expression was bitter. If she had a choice, she really didn't want to die. She still wanted to obtain diary rewards to be resurrected. Now that she was already a ghost, dying again would mean her soul would scatter, and she would never be reincarnated.

"Brother Lin Fan, I think she's quite interesting, and her sins aren't many. Why don't we keep her?"

"Young Master, you must not! You must not believe ghost words! She has few sins, which might just mean she was only recently taken in by the tree demon, but that doesn't mean she's a good ghost!"

Zhao Linger had a soft heart and intended to keep Nie Xiaoqian, but Yan Chixia didn't believe Nie Xiaoqian's words at all and still wanted to kill them all.

"Since Linger is pleading for her, then keep her!"

Lin Fan felt that Nie Xiaoqian had a secret and chose to keep her.

"Young Master, we were also forced; we are also willing to be slaves and maids. Please show mercy, Young Master!"

"With resentment soaring and ghost energy chilling, it shows that you not only helped the tree demon harm people, but you also harmed many people yourselves, and you still dare to deceive me! Die!"

Lin Fan's heart moved, and the Yixi Sword slashed down; the several female ghosts were slashed into soul-scattering annihilation.
