Chapter 440 The Soul of Aoki Clashes Again with the Mysterious Organization
Zhang Peng, Murong Yu, and Liu Ruoli, carrying the Tears of the Cold Moon, hurried towards their next destination—the Greenwood Forest—to search for the Soul of the Greenwood. As they stepped onto the edge of the forest, a rich scent of vegetation enveloped them. Towering trees blocked out the sun, and the ground was covered with a thick carpet of fallen leaves, rustling underfoot. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, creating golden beams that added a touch of mystery to the forest.
"This Greenwood Forest is so tranquil, yet it exudes a mysterious aura." Murong Yu cautiously observed his surroundings, the Chaos Breeze Sword in his hand trembling slightly, ready to deal with any potential dangers at any moment.
Zhang Peng circulated the chaotic law power of his mid-stage Nascent Soul realm, sensing the surrounding spiritual energy fluctuations. "Everyone be careful, the spiritual energy in this forest is very active, it seems to be hiding some powerful being."
Liu Ruoli gently stroked the jade flute, her nimble fingers slightly curved, ready to play a sonic attack to defend against enemies. "I always feel that there is a pair of eyes watching us in this forest."
They cautiously ventured deeper into the forest when suddenly, a low roar echoed from ahead. A gigantic tree-man slowly emerged from the woods; its body was composed of thick tree trunks, its arms were enormous branches, and with each step it took, the ground trembled slightly.
"This is the Azure Wood Guardian, whose strength is at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage!" Zhang Peng's expression changed drastically, and he quickly cast "Law Cage," enveloping the three of them within it. The Azure Wood Guardian swung its enormous branch-like arms, smashing them towards the cage. Each strike carried immense force, causing the cage to shake violently under the impact, its light flickering erratically.
Murong Yu unleashed the "Chaotic Breeze Sword," its sword energy crisscrossing as he attempted to block the Green Wood Guardian's attack. "This Green Wood Guardian is too powerful! We need to find its weakness!" he shouted, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
Liu Ruoli played the "Sonic Chaos Shield," the sound waves merging with the power of the cage to maintain its stability. "I'll try to disrupt its movements with sound waves!" She concentrated and played a rapid burst of sound waves, which impacted the Green Wood Guardian, slightly slowing its movements.
Zhang Peng seized the opportunity and unleashed the "Chaotic Myriad Phenomena Break," converging the power of the laws of chaos into a gigantic sword of chaos, which he slashed towards the Green Wood Guardian. Sensing the danger, the Green Wood Guardian suddenly sprouted a layer of hard bark from its body, deflecting the sword of chaos.
In the midst of the fierce battle, Zhang Peng discovered that the core of the Azure Wood Guardian seemed to be located in its chest, where a faint green light was emanating. "Murong Yu, Liu Ruoli, attack the green light in its chest!" he shouted.
The three immediately adjusted their attack direction. Zhang Peng unleashed "Chaos Overlord's Sanction," a five-colored light shooting towards the chest of the Green Wood Guardian with a world-destroying aura; Murong Yu unleashed the ultimate move of "Chaos Breeze Sword," "Breeze Chaos Annihilation," a sword aura containing boundless power following closely behind; Liu Ruoli played "Sonic Chaos Storm," the sound waves transforming into powerful energy, forming a huge vortex that enveloped the Green Wood Guardian.
Under the combined attack of the three, the green light on the Green Wood Guardian's chest flickered erratically. It let out a painful roar, and its body began to sway. However, just when they thought they were about to win, Zhang Peng suddenly sensed a familiar fluctuation of dark spiritual energy coming from the depths of the forest.
"Oh no, the mysterious organization is here again!" As soon as he finished speaking, a group of black-robed men surrounded him from all directions. The leader of the black-robed men was the same early-stage Nascent Soul expert who had appeared in the Extreme Yang Land and Cold Moon Valley before.
"Zhang Peng, so you are here after all. Today is your death day. Hand over the Heart of the Blazing Sun, the Tear of the Frosty Moon, and the Soul of the Azure Wood!" the leader of the black-robed men said coldly.
Zhang Peng sneered, "If you want the spiritual treasure, you'll have to get past us first!" While fighting the Green Wood Guardian, he warily kept an eye on the black-robed man. At this moment, the black-robed man suddenly unleashed a strange spell, injecting a surge of dark spiritual power into the Green Wood Guardian's body. The Green Wood Guardian's power instantly increased, and its attacks became even more ferocious.
"Damn it, they're manipulating the Green Wood Guardians!" Murong Yu shouted angrily.
Zhang Peng focused his mind and used the power of the Chaos Law to try to sever the connection between the black-robed man and the Green Wood Guardian. Under the influence of the Chaos Law, the black-robed man's spiritual energy fluctuations became briefly disordered, and the Green Wood Guardian's attack rhythm was also disrupted.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Murong Yu unleashed the killing move of the "Chaotic Breeze Sword," repelling one of the black-robed figures. Liu Ruoli played the "Sonic Chaos Impact," and the sound waves struck the group of black-robed individuals, slowing their movements.
Just then, a clear bird song suddenly rang out in the forest, and a huge blue phoenix swooped down from the sky, its feathers shimmering with dazzling light, spewing flames from its mouth as it pounced on the man in black robes.
"This is the guardian beast of the Greenwood Forest—the Azure Phoenix!" Zhang Peng exclaimed in surprise. The appearance of the Azure Phoenix reversed the course of the battle. Under the Azure Phoenix's attacks, the black-robed men's defenses were gradually breached. Seeing the situation was dire, the leader of the black-robed men quickly fled with the remaining members.
The Green Wood Guardian, no longer under the control of the black-robed man, gradually weakened. Zhang Peng and the others seized the opportunity and launched another attack, finally defeating the Green Wood Guardian. The Green Wood Guardian turned into a pile of wood chips, and a crystal emitting a green light slowly rose up—the Soul of Green Wood.
Zhang Peng carefully put away the Soul of Green Wood, and together with Murong Yu and Liu Ruoli, bowed to the Azure Phoenix in gratitude. The Azure Phoenix cried out and transformed into a streak of green light, disappearing into the depths of the forest.
Carrying the spirit of the Azure Wood, they continued their journey to find the Core of Thick Earth and the Crystal of Chaos. They knew the mysterious organization would surely return, and the road ahead was full of unknowns and challenges, but to seal the mysterious power and save the cultivation world, they were fearless…
