Over on the other side, when the tree demon saw that it was unable to gain anything from the situation, and that the situation was becoming more and more difficult, it tried to escape. Its roots penetrated deep into the ground and tunnelled away. Mu Ling and the others stabbed their swords into the ground to stop it from escaping, but they failed.
Upon seeing this, Feng Jiu's eyes moved slightly. When she saw that the tree demon was about to escape from the area, she rushed forwards in a flash and grabbed the sword from Mu Ling's hand and carried on forward. After she moved about ten metres forwards, the sword in her hand pierced into the ground with incomparable precision.
"Swish!"
"Ah!"
Accompanied with the sharp sword qi came a shrill scream. When the scream sounded, the branch that had originally been buried in the ground jumped out of the suddenly and exposed itself.
