Rural Romantic Life

Chapter 391 The Target of Public Criticism

The chaotic battle between the demonic beasts quickly came to a halt due to the enormous commotion caused by Lu Yang collecting the entire Phoenix Ancient Tree.

Many demonic beasts looked at the gradually shrinking Phoenix Tree with confusion, especially the four demon kings, who looked completely bewildered.

Just then, several people rushed over from not far away. One of them was Teng Chong. The closer he got to the Phoenix Ancient Tree, the more he sensed the fluctuations and aura of the formation.

In fact, not only him, but also some disciples from other sects and aristocratic families who had some knowledge of formations quickly sensed the slight fluctuations and aura of the formation.

"Aww..."

Suddenly, the giant black serpent, which was more than ten meters long, came back to its senses from its dazed state. Its cold gaze locked onto a huge branch of the Phoenix Ancient Tree. Although it could not see Lu Yang's figure at the moment, it could sense the aura of a human martial artist there.

It immediately roared angrily, its huge tail slammed violently against the ground, and its more than ten-meter-long body sprang up like a spring, heading straight for Lu Yang's location.

Upon seeing this, Lu Yang's gaze sharpened.

He never expected that his presence would be detected so quickly by this enormous black serpent. The other party's perception was truly incredible and incredibly powerful.

He is currently at a crucial moment in collecting the Phoenix Tree. If the other party comes to attack him and ruins the final collection, then his goal will truly be in vain.

He absolutely could not allow this to happen, and suddenly more than a dozen exploding jade talismans appeared in his hand.

A cold smile crept across his lips as he quickly activated all the jade talismans and threw them at the head of the charging black serpent.

The black serpent sensed the dangerous aura of the jade talisman and tried to dodge, but because its speed was too fast, it was powerless to truly dodge. At most, it could only slightly shift the center of its most important part, its head.

Boom boom boom boom...

However, even so, it was still brought to a standstill by the violent explosion of the many jade talismans. Although its head was not injured, the rest of its body was hit squarely.

If it weren't for the fact that the black scales covering the Xuan Snake's body were harder than steel, the explosive force generated by this wave of jade talismans would have blasted it to smithereens.

However, this explosion still caused it great damage. Many parts of its body were still covered in blood from the explosive force of the jade talisman, and many of its scales were destroyed.

The black serpent writhed in mid-air in agony, letting out an even more ferocious roar: "Awooo..."

The sound was so powerful that the disciples of the sects and the scions of noble families were dizzy and terrified.

The explosion of numerous jade talismans instantly made everyone aware of Lu Yangcai's existence.

These people were all furious: "Damn it! We're fighting to the death here, and yet someone's trying to steal the entire Phoenix Tree from behind! This is outrageous!"

"This person must be a master of formations; otherwise, he couldn't have shrunk the entire ancient phoenix tree!"

"Everyone, quickly attack the spot where the Black Serpent just attacked! Don't let him succeed, or we won't even get a sip of soup!"

Xuan Jueshe's beautiful willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her beautiful eyes were fixed on the huge branch where Lu Yang was standing. Because of Lu Yang's attack just now, she was able to sense his presence slightly.

At this moment, some of the disciples from the Azure Dragon Bright Platform were able to sense Lu Yang's true presence.

Qinglong Mingtai pointed in that direction and roared, "Attack that place! There's someone hiding there trying to use the formation to collect the entire Phoenix Ancient Tree!"

"We must stop him; we can't let him continue activating the formation to collect the Phoenix Tree..."

Before Qinglong Mingtai could finish speaking, he had already taken to the air and, in mid-air, used the top-grade spiritual weapon sword in his hand to unleash a terrifying sword light, which blasted towards Lu Yang's location in a flash.

Boom boom boom...

Instantly, a large number of people, along with the four demon kings and some demonic beasts, attacked Lu Yang together.

He suddenly became the target of public criticism.

Lu Yang saw numerous attacks raining down on him like real raindrops, but he didn't care. When he set up the collection formation, he had already thought about what might happen when he actually collected the Phoenix Ancient Tree: if he was discovered, he might be attacked by everyone and all the demon beasts.

So he sealed off a powerful defensive formation.

At that moment, he casually activated the defensive formation, which immediately formed a golden bell, completely enveloping his entire body and the entire ancient phoenix tree.

He didn't want the Phoenix Tree to be damaged in the slightest by these attacks.

Pfft... Pfft...

These attacks struck the defensive formation like raindrops falling into a lake, causing only slight ripples but not much damage.

Needless to say, it could also harm Lu Yang's body.

Xuan Jueshe and the others were utterly astonished. They couldn't believe that the defensive formation Lu Yang had set up was so terrifying. The attacks from so many of them, along with those from numerous demonic beasts, were easily intercepted by this defensive formation without causing any damage to the enemy.

Many people were speechless, exclaiming, "How...how is this possible?"

"With so many of us, plus the attacks from numerous demonic beasts, even a martial arts grandmaster at the ninth level would probably have to temporarily retreat, yet we were held back by a mere defensive formation without causing it any damage whatsoever?"

"This person must be a true master of formations; otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for them to set up two powerful formations simultaneously!"

"Keep attacking, everyone. I don't believe his formation can really hold out for long..."

Teng Chong suddenly rushed to the foot of the ancient phoenix tree, stomped his foot, and charged towards the huge branch where Lu Yang was standing. His senses locked onto Lu Yang, and he unleashed a punch: "You cowardly rat hiding in the shadows, get out here!"

boom!

His enormous fist, formed from condensed true energy, slammed solidly into the defensive formation, causing it to tremble violently.

However, even so, the formation remained undamaged.

The others noticed this person from Tengchong and were originally preparing to make another move, but they quickly stopped themselves because of his appearance, fearing that they might provoke him.

From the fact that the opponent's punch had caused the defensive formation to tremble violently, they could tell that this person's martial arts strength was extraordinary, far more terrifying than anyone present, even the four demon kings.
