NOVEL NEXT Chapter 558: Strike first to gain the upper hand
After hearing Hunshan's words, everyone present looked at the five semi-saints in shock.
A semi-saint can also be called a saint, which creates a huge gap between him and the Dou Zun level.
With the strength of a semi-saint, he was actually turned into a puppet by the ancient Bodhi tree.
The practitioners below the saint level felt a chill in their hearts and looked at the ancient Bodhi tree in horror.
Although they more or less knew about the power of the ancient Bodhi tree through ancient books or legends.
After all, it is like seeing things in the fog, and it is difficult to truly feel the power of the ancient Bodhi tree.
The ancient Bodhi tree has existed for too long, only appearing once every thousand years, which means that the records in ancient books are not very detailed.
And now the five semi-saint puppets undoubtedly displayed the horror of the ancient Bodhi tree to the fullest.
Even the semi-saints can only be refined into puppets by the ancient Bodhi tree.
As for these cultivators who are quite far away from the Fighting Saint level, facing the ancient Bodhi tree, they might not be able to withstand even a random attack from it.
When the gap is truly revealed and people realize that it is as huge as an insurmountable chasm, they feel despair.
Even powerful Dou Sheng masters like Hunshan and Yaofeng looked at the ancient Bodhi tree with solemn eyes.
The ancient Bodhi tree is too mysterious and has existed for a very long time.
The ancient Bodhi tree can refine a semi-saint warrior into a puppet and control him at will, but who can guarantee that the ancient Bodhi tree can do nothing against a Dou Sheng warrior?
The sudden appearance of five semi-saints eased the tense atmosphere between the two sides.
Yao Feng was silent for a moment, then spoke to Xiao Ze and his group.
"I think you will not give up the opportunity of the ancient Bodhi tree easily. Now these five semi-saints are blocking the way. Why don't we deal with them one by one according to the number of saints from each side?"
"Okay." Hunshan spoke first.
Xun'er and the others looked at Xiao Ze, and Xiao Ze spoke to them through the golden tree.
"Okay, there are three half-saints left, so you can take action."
Xiao Ze did not plan to take action this time. This place was already under the shade of the ancient Bodhi tree, a world of its own. Ordinary spatial fluctuations could not be transmitted at all.
Previously, the Soul Clan and the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan were able to invite powerful Douluo Saints because Xiao Ze did not notice it, but now he will not give them the opportunity.
He had to keep an eye on the people of the Soul Clan and the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan to prevent them from leaving this place and crush the space jade slip again to invite the Dou Sheng powerhouse.
Xun'er took a step forward and nodded slightly, "Okay, let's get rid of these five semi-saint puppets first, and then we can fight for the opportunities later based on our own abilities."
After getting Xun'er's reply, Yao Feng didn't say anything more. He just clapped his hands and attracted a semi-saint strongman to fly away.
The same was true for Soul Mountain. The two of them erupted with astonishing fluctuations of Dou Qi. The powerful energy distorted that piece of space, making it impossible for Dou Zun-level beings to get close.
The other members of the Soul Clan and the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan quickly retreated, while Xiao Ze looked at them thoughtfully.
The soul power was locked on them. Once they showed any tendency to leave the shade of the trees or take out the space jade slips, they would be struck by Xiao Ze's thunder.
Xun'er and the other two worked together to deal with the three semi-saint powerful men. Compared with the semi-saint puppets that had no intelligence, the combined combat power of the three of them was far greater than that of the three semi-saint puppets.
On the other side of the battlefield, the Demon Phoenix used the distorted fluctuations of the fighting spirit around it to temporarily isolate itself from the perception of others, and then communicated with Soul Mountain through voice transmission.
"Old man, what are your plans? I didn't expect the Ancient Clan to send out so many Dou Sheng masters this time."
"I just sensed this place. Under the shade of the trees, it is difficult for spatial fluctuations to be transmitted. It is difficult to summon the strong men in the clan."
Hunshan waved his hand casually, and a majestic soul body roared out and enveloped the semi-saint puppet.
He filled the surrounding space with soul bodies, pondered for a moment and then spoke.
"In that case, let's strike first. I am in the middle stage of Dou Sheng, and my strength is far beyond the reach of those three little girls who have just entered Dou Sheng."
"You just need to hold Xiao Ze back temporarily while I take care of those three little girls. Then the two of us will work together to kill him."
The demon phoenix casually slapped out its palm, and the majestic fighting spirit condensed into a green and red crystal palm, which slammed into the arm of the semi-saint puppet, smashing it into pieces.
"You didn't even see Xiao Ze's strength?"
Hunshan hesitated for a moment, glanced at Yaofeng, and finally decided to tell the truth, "I can't tell, and the Soul Palace's several casualties are likely related to him."
"The deputy leader of the Soul Hall went to the northwest continent, but his soul tablet was broken and he even lost his life there."
Yao Feng frowned. As the Soul Palace was the top force in Zhongzhou, the deputy palace master should have been quite powerful. However, he was defeated in such a remote place like the Northwest Continent.
"How strong is he?"
"Three-star Dou Sheng late stage!"
Upon hearing this, Yao Feng's movements paused for a moment.
The three-star Douluo late-stage strongmen might have fallen at the hands of Xiao Ze, so how could he be asked to deal with Xiao Ze?
"Ahem, I'm not asking you to defeat Xiao Ze, you just need to hold him back. Once I've dealt with those three little girls, I'll work with you to deal with him."
Hunshan also knew that it was a bit too much to ask, so he quickly said, "His strength should not be enough to kill a three-star Dou Sheng at will."
"After all, he was promoted to the Dou Sheng level in a short time. Even if we add the three years in the Heavenly Tomb, it was only a few years. It is impossible for him to reach that level!"
"If the deputy hall master really died in his hands, it must have been with the help of external forces, or at a great cost."
After hearing Hunshan's explanation, Yao Feng still frowned and glanced vaguely in the direction of Xiao Ze.
Then he looked at the ancient Bodhi tree again. If he could share the opportunity of the ancient Bodhi tree with the Soul Clan, it would also be a huge boost for the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan.
"How long will it take you to deal with those three little girls?"
"If I use all my strength, I can defeat him in no time!"
Hun Shan said confidently: "At the Dou Sheng level, one star is a huge gap, not to mention that I have reached the middle stage of Dou Sheng. If I use all my strength, they won't be able to hold out for long!"
Perhaps it was the confidence in Hunshan's tone, or the opportunity of the ancient Bodhi tree, which was indeed of great benefit to the Sky Demon Phoenix clan, that made the Demon Phoenix finally grit its teeth and agree.
"Xiao Ze is very powerful. I can't guarantee that I can completely hold him back. If things are impossible, I won't fight any more!"
"Don't worry, it won't take long!"
Hunshan said this with great certainty, and immediately pressed a finger between the eyebrows of the semi-saint puppet.
The head of the semi-saint puppet exploded!
As the head shattered, the broken body of the semi-saint puppet turned into dust and slowly dissipated.
"Get ready to do it!"
