"Damn it! Damn it!" Jueming yelled loudly. Everything was clearly under control, but suddenly the situation changed, causing him to fall into the quagmire.
"Boy from the Holy Demon Tribe, give up controlling the Manjie Demon Tree, and I, the Holy Lord, can save you."
A voice came from the demon tree.
It was the Yanluo Holy Lord.
Jueming was angry; he could confidently secure victory because he controlled the formation of the Manjie Demon Tree, and the core was the black demon stone in his hand, the control hub.
He never trusted anyone except himself.
Once the Yanluo Holy Lord breaks free, his situation would definitely not improve. The enmity between the Yanluo Demon Tribe and the Holy Demon Tribe is far more ancient than that with the humans here.
Moreover, he had plotted against the Yanluo Holy Lord. If the latter were to break free and revive fully, obtaining the Manjie Demon Tree, killing him would just be a matter of a flick of the wrist.
He couldn't believe that the Yanluo Holy Lord would spare him out of consideration for their shared demon tribe heritage. He didn't believe it at all.
If it were him, he would definitely kill the other party and ensure they suffer countless torments, even if it were his own son.
"Do you really think I have no way?"
He sneered.
To become an unparalleled Earth Saint and the leader of the Wukong organization, how could he be an average person with no trump cards?
"Wukong Wuwo!"
He shouted, and strange waves vibrated, clearly boosting his battle strength.
Whoosh! The sword in his hand erupted with dazzling light, forming a terrifying tide of swords.
Ao Lie and Jueming were on the same level, evenly matched, both unparalleled Earth Saints, one foot touching the threshold of the Heaven Saint, yet not fully there.
With Jueming's outburst, Ao Lie struggled to hold him back.
"Ark Suppression, Only I Am Supreme!"
Ao Lie roared, also activating a secret technique. Runes danced on his body, and the Noah's Ark in the sky released spatial power, covering the land. His battle strength surged, clearly fighting with all he had.
If Jueming escaped, everyone would be in danger. Ao Lie didn't believe the Manjie Demon Tree's tentacles wouldn't reach him, thinking he could safely lead the Cangxuan City people away. The Life and Death Demon Palace had become a dead end. Without capturing Jueming, no one could break through.
Many experts from Cangxuan City were also fighting desperately. Their battle strength significantly lagged behind the unparalleled Earth Saint, but their attacks shouldn't be underestimated. Which unparalleled Earth Saint dared to allow late-stage Earth Saint experts to strike recklessly?
Their responsibility was to hold Jueming back, preventing him from returning to the demon tree's region.
"You can't stop me!"
Jueming shouted, recklessly charging. Bang! He was punched by Ao Lie, spurting blood, while other Cangxuan City experts' attacks left scars on his body.
But he burned his Holy Source, broke through Ao Lie's blockade, and dashed like lightning.
"Stay!"
Ao Lie's figure surged forward to intercept Jueming.
"In a thought, all is void!"
Jueming merged with his sword, his speed suddenly skyrocketing. Wow, he spat a mouthful of vital blood, and the black demon flag shone with dark light, boundless aura soaring, fiercely resisting Noah's Ark's binding, breaking through before Ao Lie could successfully intercept.
"Kill!"
At this moment, several late-stage Earth Saint experts from Cangxuan City charged in with killing intent.
Puff! A multitude of attacks landed on Jueming, opening numerous wounds. Jueming's sword unleashed a void-severing sword energy, desperately sending those late-stage Earth Saint experts flying.
"Ah!"
A scream sounded as these late-stage Earth Saint experts were split in two. Jueming, despite his severe injuries, charged through, like a beam of light, shooting into the demon tree's area.
Ao Lie immediately stopped; he couldn't proceed further. Entering the demon tree's area would also bind him.
