"Hmm?" Qin Shang, who had stepped forward to assist, frowned slightly, not expecting these branches to cover such a wide area.
Hundreds of gray-white branches shot out of the ground aiming at the rear troops.
For a moment, even the rear troops fell into chaos, as many field officers hurried to organize their subordinates to resist.
A tree branch as thick as a leg broke through the ground, shooting straight towards Su Yuan.
"Imperial Envoy, watch out... uh!"
Shi Rulong instinctively rushed to protect Su Yuan, but he was directly pulled back behind Su Yuan.
The next moment, the sinister vine stopped right in front of Su Yuan, to Shi Rulong’s amazement.
Su Yuan reached out and grabbed the gray branch, immediately feeling an excited pull that seemed to penetrate his skin to absorb the essence of life from within him.
Su Yuan sneered coldly, and black flame danced in his palm. The Undead Evil Fire instantly spread along the branch, turning it into a cloud of ash, burning all the way into the ground!
However, the branch soon broke off midway by itself, cutting off the spread of the Undead Evil Fire towards its core.
Seemingly aware of Su Yuan’s difficulty, numerous vines burst from the ground, rushing towards the surrounding warriors.
Su Yuan’s robes fluttered, and waves of the Undead Evil Fire surged violently forth like a sea!
Ruan Ruan on his shoulder was unharmed, but Shi Rulong next to him was blown away, looking at Su Yuan in shock.
"Spread out, Evil Fire!"
With Su Yuan’s command, the torrential Evil Fire quivered slightly, then scattered into hundreds of balls rushing at the surrounding gray-white branches!
This was not Su Yuan dividing his attention to control, it was the Undead Evil Fire controlling itself!
Divine Fire and Divine Wind, Mystic Ice and Mystic Water... these Heaven and Earth Treasures, besides exhibiting a Star Power more intense than most people in the same realm, had one primary feature, which was "spirituality".
Star Power is a dead thing that belongs to oneself, but these heavenly treasures have their own spirituality.
Since swallowing the energy left by the Crimson Evil Fire last time, the Undead Evil Fire seemed to have undergone a certain transformation.
Not only was its might greatly enhanced, but its spirituality also increased significantly, making it easy to distinguish between friend and foe to strike.
Of course, the most significant evolution of the Undead Evil Fire was not just that...
At this moment, hundreds of balls of Undead Evil Fire were rapidly moving among the crowd, easily burning a large area of gray-white branches and shielding numerous army warriors.
For a moment, sawdust and ash filled the sky.
And the Undead Evil Fire did not stop, continuing to pursue underground along the vines, causing those branches, like the ones that attacked Su Yuan before, to break off and block the pursuit.
Seemingly realizing that Su Yuan was not to be trifled with, very soon, no gray-white branches dared to approach the army at the rear anymore.
A few officers at the front were pleased, and Qin Shang quickly cast a grateful glance at Su Yuan.
"Divine Fire?!" The brooding young man on the Black Tower in the distance looked a bit more somber.
Fire restrains wood; for demon plants, the most restraining thing is Divine Fire!
In this Grey Realm, the holders of Divine Fire are primary targets for all major royal courts to hunt down.
Unexpectedly, upon arriving in this new world, they encountered the master of Divine Fire!
With Su Yuan’s Undead Evil Fire taking care of the rear army, Qin Shang and the others had nothing to worry about, while the frontal assault of numerous branches was gradually broken with the aid of the four officers.
Initially chaotic, at this moment, the Great Flame Army’s quality quickly stabilized the formation.
Those gray-white branches seemingly realized there was no better opportunity and suddenly trembled, as if dead, all stopping in place.
They even retracted all their energy in advance, turning into ash with a burst of spirit light from the army warriors!
"Thank you, Imperial Envoy Su!"
Many warriors around who survived death expressed their gratitude to Su Yuan amidst their surprise and horror.
Su Yuan did not respond, silver light flickering in his eyes, the All-Knowing Vision already aware of the energy changes in all directions.
In the next moment, the ground vibrated violently, and to everyone’s shock, countless gray branches emerged from outside, forming an enormous circular cage imprisoning everyone within.
The Star Power required for such a move... was absolutely terrifying!
"What’s happening now?"
"Damn it, what is this!"
"..."
The warriors exclaimed and immediately launched attacks on the cage, but they couldn’t leave even the slightest mark.
The hardness of these branches was much higher compared to the ones responsible for "cleaning up corpses" earlier.
Su Yuan looked up towards the front and saw, behind the sinister youth, a towering gray-white tree rising from the ground, with a terrifying gray-white mouth on its main trunk.
"It really is a Plant Star Beast!"
Qin Shang and the others’ expressions tightened; Plant Star Beasts are very rare in the outside world.
The birth of Plant Star Beasts generally comes in two forms, one is the evolution due to energy in a special environment.
The other is some spirit plants suddenly gaining enlightenment, transforming into a Star Beast.
The former can be seen among the plants in Secret Realms, while the latter is like the Rebirth Tree from the East Continent’s legends.
"Destroy them all, Great Wilderness Tree!"
With a shout from the sinister youth, the towering tree roared with its great mouth, and its branches frantically grew, directly attacking Wu Shaoyang and others in midair.
Wu Shaoyang snorted coldly, fierce wind surging on his right fist, punching and causing a sharp whistle that directly blew up the branches.
Major General Tao and General Li saw this, one activating the Flame Pill Bottle, the other slashing out with thunder, both targeting the branches.
Flames and thunder acted on the branches, but the branches suddenly darkened a bit, the hardness suddenly increased, and they directly broke through the fierce flame and thunder, entangling Tao and Li!
