Mortal Mirror

A loud crash echoed as the fish-scale sword collided with the wind blade. Alas, the Rat King's cultivation was insufficient, and it had lost its spiritual core. The fish-scale sword shattered the wind blade and continued its assault.

From afar, countless wandering souls, wildcats, and beasts watched as hundreds of sword energies annihilated the rat. Then, they saw the sword light flash, blindingly bright, followed by a massive explosion.

The Rat King, the strongest overlord of Yellow Maple Valley, was reduced to countless pieces of flesh, scattering through the air. The piglet-sized rats that came with it also suffered a devastating disaster, with countless casualties.

These inexperienced little demons were instantly dumbfounded, frozen in place, not daring to move, fearing that any movement might anger the terrifying presence inside the coffin, leading to their annihilation.

Crack, the coffin lid was completely opened, and Li Ergou stood up from within.

He looked at the scene outside, his heart trembled. He wondered if these guys would attack him all at once. That move, Flowing Cloud Drifting Snow, had consumed most of his spiritual power. If he had to do it again, he might not be able to handle it.

Of course, he didn't take these little guys seriously. The most troublesome was still this giant tree demon, over ten feet tall, so cool and mighty.

He looked at the tree demon, and the tree demon's pair of green eyes also looked at him simultaneously.

The two stared at each other, and Li Ergou felt a bit troubled. Should he attack? To kill this demon with one blow, he would have to go all out. But he had less than half of his spiritual power left. If he attacked again, the power of Flowing Cloud Drifting Snow would definitely not be as strong as the previous sword strike.

Most importantly, this guy's appearance was so cool, he looked like a ruthless character. And he had observed that the tree demon didn't react at all when it saw the Rat King being killed, which meant that this tree demon should be even more powerful, its cultivation above the Rat King's.

At this moment, the tree demon was terrified. It had wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but it hadn't experienced such a terrifying thing in many years. Its legs were so frightened that they didn't work properly. By the time it recovered, the Rat King had already kicked the bucket.

Run? Could it run faster than a flying sword? This was the legendary terrifying existence of human cultivators.

It really wanted to slap itself a few times. Why did it have to join in the fun? Now it was in trouble. Curiosity killed the cat, and gossip was too harmful.

Fortunately, it had a cool and awesome appearance. It saw a slight trace of fear flashing in the human's eyes, although it was only for a moment, it was still caught by its sharp eyes.

At this moment, it dared not speak, dared not move. Although it had thousands of years of cultivation, those cultivations were all used on its appearance. The real strength was simply wasted, otherwise, it would not have been afraid of that fat pig-like Rat King.

It was no exaggeration to say that as soon as it made a move, it would be exposed, and it would definitely fall into a place of eternal doom. Fortunately, it was different from those brainless guys. It felt that it was a wise being.

Of course, it wasn't born smart, but in these endless years, it had seen many storybooks from the buried dead, and what it liked most was the book "The Love Story I Have to Tell with the Big Locust Tree".

Through this book, it believed in love. It fantasized that one day, a beautiful woman would fall in love with it, this dashing tree demon.

At that time, what a touching and unrestrained love story between a human and a demon it would be.

And there was a classic sentence in that book that it regarded as a classic, "Only a good-looking appearance can make you admired, a good-looking appearance can make women love you wholeheartedly, because beauties love heroes, and even more love handsome heroes, and even more love intelligent heroes."

Therefore, it was poisoned by that book. In order to become a tree demon loved by beauties, it used all its cultivation to change its appearance, creating what it considered to be the most handsome appearance.

But when it came to fighting, it was a mess, because it hadn't practiced demon techniques well. Besides letting all the tree roots dance wildly in the sky, it had only successfully cultivated one move. This move was to gather countless tree roots and turn them into a big spear to kill the enemy.

This move seemed ordinary, but it was steady, accurate, and ruthless. A ten-foot-tall boulder would be blasted into rubble in front of this move. It was also with this move that it became famous in Yellow Maple Valley, and it never failed.

It also gave this move a very domineering name, called "Straight into the Yellow Dragon." It felt that this name was so majestic and domineering, only a wise person, oh no, a demon, like it would think of it. It was smug about it for a long time.

At this moment, Li Ergou and the tree demon were motionless, as if they were looking for each other's weaknesses.

Li Ergou thought to himself, this guy is really not simple, this kind of composure is not something that ordinary demons can have.

The tree demon was helpless in his heart, thinking, please don't move, otherwise, should I run, or should I run?

Just when the two were confronting each other, the big black dog couldn't help but bark in a low voice.

The two looked at the big black dog almost at the same time. The big black dog immediately buried its head and shivered.

At the same time, Li Ergou's flying sword was sacrificed, and infinite sword intent spewed out. The terrifying power instantly enveloped the area within ten feet.

He thought to himself, do it, what's the point of staring at each other? He planned to test it out. If it really didn't work, he would just run away. Anyway, this guy couldn't catch up with his flying sword no matter how powerful he was.

When the tree demon saw Li Ergou make a move, it panicked immediately. It thought to itself, what should I do, what should I do? Why not make a final struggle, let's talk about it. If it still doesn't work, it can only go far away and leave Yellow Maple Valley.

Actually, what it feared most was being directly blown up by the guy in front of it, without even a chance to run.

With this thought in mind, it immediately reached out and forcibly pretended to be calm and said: "This young hero, can you wait a moment."

Li Ergou exclaimed, this tree demon actually spoke, but it didn't open its mouth, and the voice seemed to come from its stomach.

Li Ergou frowned slightly and said: "Wait, wait for what? We should fight quickly so I can go back to eat."

The tree demon's mouth twitched, and it kept recalling some of the words in the books it had read before in its mind.

After sorting it out, it continued: "This young hero, what's the point of fighting and killing? Why don't we seek peace? I cultivate my Dharma, you refine your Dao, we don't interfere with each other, isn't that good?

Why bother fighting to the death? Actually, I'm just here to watch the fun. Who knows that the Rat King guy came up and gnawed on your things? But I'm indeed a civilized tree demon, you believe me, I definitely have no malicious intentions.

Now that the Rat King, the strongest overlord of the canyon, is dead, you are no longer threatened. Punches and feet have no eyes, it's meaningless for the two of us to fight down, and it's not good if anyone gets hurt.

Tell me, isn't that the truth? The book says, it's better to seek peace than to confront each other. We have no conflict of interest, we can get along well and be friends, isn't that good?"

After the tree demon finished speaking, it looked at Li Ergou with a cautious expression, but it was already ready to run away at any time.
