Looting the life force of demons to forge a golden body Martial God-Chapter 86 - 84 Rescue Erbao, Escape Fails

Chu Feng reached the edge of the Mother Tree’s attack range in a flash, and just as the Mother Tree stopped its action of trying to possess a soul body, it waved dozens of Qi Roots viciously towards him.

Gale-force winds swept across his face, his expression still composed, with the spiritual power tendrils protruding from his brain more active than ever.

He mapped the attack patterns of the Qi Roots, frantically calculating and searching for a viable path of escape through the dense network.

Then, with agile movements, he twisted and wound his way through the gaps between the Qi Roots, gradually drawing closer to Wang Erbao.

The Mother Tree seemed to realize that this annoying Stone Rat was coveting its trophy.

The next second, dozens of Qi Roots appeared around Chu Feng, blocking all his exits and trapping him like a cage.

Immediately after, four or five Qi Roots whipped at him from behind like venomous snakes.

The mists of swirling emotions made Chu Feng slightly restless, and he quickly suppressed his impatience.

He was at least twenty or thirty meters away from Wang Erbao, but with the Mother Tree obstructing him, this short distance had become an insurmountable gap, almost impossible to cross.

Wang Erbao had seen him trying to charge through the Qi Roots’ encirclement, and while moved by the sight, he was also on edge:

"Mad Dog Chu, are you fucking out of your mind? You know it’s a trap and yet you’re still going for it! Turn the hell around and roll out!"

Chu Feng narrowly dodged a sneak attack from a Qi Root behind him, but his room to struggle was shrinking, and his situation was getting tougher.

Hearing Wang Erbao’s angry curse, he laughed, "If I saw you tied up like a pig waiting to be slaughtered and didn’t come to save you, Ms. Xuerui would hate me to death, wouldn’t she?

"I brought you in here; I have to take you out!"

Wang Erbao’s eyes welled up, and he let out a high-pitched roar, nearly tearing apart the Qi Roots that bound him.

Chu Feng was almost in a desperate situation, knowing he had no chance to fight his way in, let alone break free from the Qi Roots’ encirclement.

His eyes shifted quickly as he thought of a terrible, desperate idea.

Indeed, it was a terrible idea, but under the circumstances, there was no better option.

Chu Feng was gradually overwhelmed by the beating of the Qi Roots, and his legs were ensnared in a moment of carelessness. Before he could free himself, the surrounding Qi Roots swarmed over and bound him tightly.

It seemed he had made quite an impression on the Mother Tree, as its dense roots bound him up like a rice dumpling, leaving him unable to struggle any further.

To the furious roars of Wang Erbao, whose eyes were about to split with rage, Chu Feng, desperately struggling inside the "cocoon," was lifted high and brought to face a large eye in the midst of the tree trunk, alongside Wang Erbao.

The eye suddenly opened wide, looking at Chu Feng, and the whispers in the air abruptly switched to the unfamiliar Longhua Language, with a hint of delight:

"Thought... you... ran... away... yet... you... dared... to... come... back..."

A thought crossed Chu Feng’s mind, and his face showed surprise, "What do you mean, Demon Tree? You know me? What exactly do you want with us!"

Wang Erbao’s ears twitched, and he turned to look as well.

The Mother Tree scoffed, "Human... Race... how... interesting... betraying... your... own... kind..."

It seemed eager to see the reaction of Chu Feng and the others when they found out they’d been betrayed by their own, as the Mother Tree raised a paper album with two Qi Roots, gently flipping it open.

Both of them were horrified to see that the first page had a portrait of Chu Feng!

As it continued to flip through, portraits of Wang Erbao and the other Trialists were all there, up until the page with Bian Heng’s portrait, after which it was blank.

Chu Feng’s face darkened, beyond doubt, this was the work of a Human Race traitor who had packaged and delivered the ten Trialists to the Mother Tree as offerings!

His thoughts immediately went to Che Yongyuan, who had gone to great lengths to initiate the trials, and the man behind him named Chen Fei.

Even if they themselves were not traitors, they had to have a deep connection with one.

As the Mother Tree watched his face changing, it jovially shook its Qi Roots, then proceeded to slowly put away the album.

Meanwhile, amidst the terrified screams of Bian Heng and his companions, it held one Qi Root that had absorbed a Different Race spirit body over his head, opening the four-petaled mouth at the tip.

Chu Feng, watching this unfold, suddenly raised his head, a smile emerging on his face as he roared in his heart, ’Attribute Burst!’

He knew that his own strength was no match for the Mother Tree’s defenses, so he deliberately allowed himself to be caught and brought before Wang Erbao.

For this very moment!

He allocated 10 points to his "Qi" attribute, 10 points to his "Spirit" attribute, and a full 30 points to his "Essence" attribute, which was higher than all his existing attributes.

With this Attribute Burst activated, his physical attribute soared to a terrifying 55 points!

The Mother Tree was puzzled, wondering why this human, upon realizing he had been betrayed, showed neither anger nor despair but instead revealed a difficult to understand smile.

But in the next second, it only felt agonizing pain as the roots binding Chu Feng burst and split open!

With a low roar, Chu Feng’s body suddenly expanded, his bones cracking, muscles, and tendons stretching.

Gashes split open on his skin, emitting red light from within, making him look like a molten lava giant.

He summoned the Sun Destroying Heart Palm, and a magma-like True Force burst forth, granting him immense strength, and he easily tore the remaining Qi Roots apart.

He stamped on the roots that were too late to retract beneath his feet, and with a sudden leap, he snatched the sketchbook with his left hand and threw a punch with his right hand towards the Mother Tree’s large eye, only an inch away.

An explosive Fist Edge shot out from Chu Feng’s hand, harshly colliding with the unprepared giant eye and then exploded with a bang.

"Boom!"

"Aaah——"

The Mother Tree let out a painful howl as a large hole was blown open by the Fist Edge in the area where its eye was!

Wood chips flew everywhere, and copious amounts of blood gushed out like a waterfall, splashing all over Chu Feng’s head and face.

Then the blood flowed down like a waterfall, as if a blood rain had poured down from the heavens.

Using the rebounding force, Chu Feng rapidly backtracked, grabbed Wang Erbao, and tore off the roots entangling him.

Then he aimed at a giant rock outside the Mother Tree’s attack range and executed the Shape-shifting Shadow Move!

Ripples of distorted space surrounded the two of them, about to disappear.

But the next second, their figures suddenly reappeared, frozen in place!

Chu Feng spat out a mouthful of blood, his brain throbbing with excruciating pain.

It felt as if he had slammed his head against a hard, impenetrable wall, unable to pass through, and his spiritual power was injured in the process!

He looked up sharply, his pupils contracting.

He saw a Spirit Body just emerging from the vortex above the Mother Tree’s head, making a hand-pressing gesture towards him.

A Spirit Body had interrupted his spell!

A sense of heaviness settled in Chu Feng’s heart.

Magic was originally the heritage of the Demon Clan, and Wang Xuerui had warned him explicitly that unless he had mastered the Shape-shifting Shadow Move to a very high level, he should never use it in front of a High-Level Demon Race.

Using magic in front of a High-Level Demon Race was like a display of slight skill before an expert; they had countless ways to interrupt spells.

Chu Feng used the Shape-shifting Shadow Move in front of a Minister-level Changmo because, according to his Eyes of the Void, the Changmo’s spiritual power was even weaker than his.

He dared to attempt a sneak attack and succeeded in killing it.

He also took advantage of the moment when the Mother Tree was injured and unable to use its vast spiritual power to "tend to" him, daring to use magic to attempt escape.

Yet, he didn’t expect to escape the punishment of the Mother Tree, only to be intercepted by a Spirit Body that squeezed out of the vortex!

Even though after interrupting his spellcasting, the Spirit Body began to destabilize and was estimated to be unable to repeat the action,

The failure of spellcasting also inflicted a backlash on Chu Feng’s spiritual power, preventing him from using the Shape-shifting Shadow Move again.
