Chapter 1048, Afraid of Strength

"If you can catch a Tiangang Zhanhu as a pet, it must be a gift against the sky!" Zhou Yan's eyes were burning.

"Unfortunately, with my current strength, it is still difficult to subdue the Tiangang Zhanhu. After all, the Tiangang Zhanhu is equivalent to a monk in the realm of gods!"

Zhou Yan sighed secretly.

Shenhou Wuzong is already considered a master. With a single palm, he can destroy mountains and rivers of a hundred meters, and with a gesture of his hand, he can set off violent wind and waves.

"In any case, this is a god-given opportunity, you must not miss it!"

Zhou Yan's eyes were hot, and he immediately took steps towards the vortex in the sky.

"Aww~"

At this moment, the ghostly ghost fire suddenly appeared, covering Zhou Yan in an instant, trying to burn him to ashes.

"not good!"

Zhou Yan turned pale with shock, and hastily performed the "Nine Star Overlord Jue", condensing the true energy of his whole body, concentrating his right arm, and slashing out with a single knife.

clang!

Sparks fly!

Zhou Yan's whole body was pushed back tens of meters, and the tiger's mouth holding the knife burst open, dripping with blood.

Nether ghost fire is too weird, with negative auras of evil, filth, destruction, etc. When Zhou Yan just touched it, it was as if it was contaminated with sulfuric acid venom, and the skin quickly rotted and pus.

"My physical defense can't bear it?"

Zhou Yan was full of surprise.

You know, he has the strength of a four-star martial artist. Logically speaking, his physical body should be stronger than iron armor and steel bars.

However, he was blown away by the blow just now. If he hadn't used the "Nine Star Overlord Art" to resist at the critical moment, he might have been incinerated.

"Whew, wheeze."

The ghost fire hovered, whimpering and moaning, and a pair of scarlet eyes stared at Zhou Yan, as if they were afraid of something.

"Huh? This thing is still afraid of me?"

Zhou Yan touched the tip of his nose, a little dumbfounded.

He also thought that the Nether Ghost Fire was afraid of his own strength, after all, the power he just erupted was really a bit terrifying.

"It seems that the harvest this time is not only the remains of the Tiangang Zhanhu!"

Zhou Yan's eyes swept across the world.

The elements of heaven and earth are so thin that they are not suitable for plant growth at all, only some elixir can do it, such as the famous Purple Cloud Grass in the Tianxuan Dynasty!

Purple Cloud Grass, also known as Ziyang Grass, needs to be stored for more than three days after being picked to exert its maximum effect.

This kind of elixir is extremely precious, and the market price is expensive. A purple cloud grass is worth five thousand gold coins.

"Purple Cloud Grass, there are only six plants in total. If I can get one, maybe I can break the shackles of the gods!"

Zhou Yan's eyes lit up, and he quickened his pace.

In a short while, he came to the end of this cave, which was a deep and dark pool.

Outside the water pool, there stood a withered old tree with dry branches and dense vines hanging down, entangled on the cave wall.

"This tree should be the guardian beast that protects the Tiangang Zhanhu—the Nether Demon Tree!"

Zhou Yan's eyes were fixed: "The leaves of the ghost tree are the top materials for making incense. Once burned, they can release a special fragrance, which makes people fall into hallucinations."

According to the rumors, this ghost tree is one of the scariest plants in the world, and even martial saints are unwilling to provoke it.

"I don't know, after I devour it, how much will my cultivation level skyrocket?"

Zhou Yan licked his lips, eager to try.

His physique has reached the peak of the eighth rank, and he can advance to the rank of martial artist at any time. However, due to insufficient accumulation, he has not been able to be promoted.

If he could devour this Nether Demon Tree, he would definitely be able to break through the bottleneck and be promoted to a martial artist smoothly.

"Gululu~"

The next moment, the Nether Demon Tree trembled slightly, and its thick vines stretched out like giant pythons. It opened its teeth and danced its claws, and swept towards Zhou Yan at an extremely fast speed.

Swish!

Zhou Yan's figure flickered, dodging the attack.

The vines of the Nether Demon Tree, as if possessed of spiritual intelligence, chased after him at an extremely fast speed, and instantly entangled Zhou Yan's legs, trying to pull him to the canopy of the tree.

call out!

A cloud of ghost fire was born out of thin air, wrapped around Zhou Yan's feet, and forced the vines of the ghost tree back.

With the help of ghost fire, Zhou Yan moved around to avoid being attacked by vines.

Whoosh!

Holding the Spirit Slaying Knife in his hand, he slashed down fiercely on the vines, the flames spewed out, and instantly tore apart the branches of the Nether Demon Tree, revealing a turquoise fruit inside, the whole body was green, like emerald carved become.

"The fruit of the Nether Demon Tree actually contains a strong Yin attribute of true energy!" Zhou Yan's eyes widened.

Although the ghost tree is the companion plant of the lone star of the evil spirit, it is a top-quality elixir, containing huge wood-type vitality.

"For so many years, the Tiangang Zhanhu failed to destroy the Nether Demon Tree, but was absorbed by it to absorb the essence of life. Now, it is cheaper for me!"

Zhou Yan grinned and reached out to grab it.

Click!

However, just as his palm touched the Nether Demon Tree, suddenly, a burst of severe pain emanated from his wrist, causing Zhou Yan to howl miserably.

"Ah... this ghost tree actually bit me?"

Zhou Yan let out a low growl, and hastily withdrew his palm, only to see a row of fine tooth marks on the back of his hand, bright red and dazzling.

"Fuck me, what is this thing that is so sharp?" Zhou Yan's heart was beating wildly, and the corners of his eyes twitched.

You know, after he practiced the "Nine Star Overlord Art", his physical body can be called abnormal, and it is difficult for ordinary treasure soldiers to hurt him.

This Nether Demon Tree actually bit his skin with one bite.

"It seems that this thing is not as simple as I imagined." Zhou Yan frowned slightly, and his mood gradually became serious.

"Roar~"

At the same time, the Nether Demon Tree seemed to sense the danger, and roared, with boundless anger bursting out of its shell.

Rumble!

In an instant, the surrounding void violently swayed, and the vitality between the heaven and the earth suddenly boiled, tumbling crazily, forming terrifying hurricanes.

clatter~

The branches of the ghost tree swayed wildly, and endless blue mist floated out, like a sea tide, sweeping towards the surroundings.

"No, this is Nether Fog!"

Zhou Yan's complexion changed drastically, he quickly held his breath, and retreated.

hum!

However, the Nether Demon Tree seemed to have locked on to him long ago, and circles of mist spread, engulfing Zhou Yan in an instant.

"Ah, damn it!"

Zhou Yan let out a muffled snort, feeling cold all over his body, and a gloomy cold air invaded his body, covering his skin with a layer of faint black, as if there were streaks of cold air drifting away, freezing the blood vessels.

"Hahaha, brat, no matter how powerful you are, you still want to be buried here!"

"The Nether Demon Fog is extremely cloudy and extremely cold. Even a second-rate martial artist will become stiff and lose his fighting power if he touches it. No matter how hard you struggle, it will be nothing more than a dying struggle!"

"This time, you can't escape even with your wings."
