Chapter 323: Chapter 220: Crushing and Pursuing the Strange Tree

Translator: 549690339

Thump—

The sound of bodies falling on the ground continued endlessly.

Accompanied by occasional pain-filled screams and groans of agony.

Chen Sheng looked around.

After he destroyed the surrounding Flesh Monster Trees, his field of vision widened.”

As far as the eye could see.

The sky, originally obscured by dense branches and leaves, reappeared in sight.

The bright light filled the area again, making the surroundings brighter and less gloomy.

The Holy Sect followers were scattered around, lying on the ground in disarray.

Thanks to Chen Sheng’s timely tree destruction, among them, most had suffered minor injuries.

Some had been seriously injured, and those who had died… naturally, their corpses were completely destroyed.

“Get up.”

Chen Sheng kicked Mr. Chou by his side.

Among all the people present, he had the strongest physical attribute besides Chen Sheng. And as he had not been dragged into the tree’s body, his condition was better than anyone’s except Chen Sheng.

As expected,

Chen Sheng’s kick woke him up.

Whoosh!

Mr. Chou suddenly opened his eyes.

With incredible speed, his stout body bounced up from the ground.

“Breathing—”

Mr. Chou instantly activated his Breathing State.

In an instant, he became a small giant three meters tall.

Maybe the illusion hadn’t completely cleared from his brain.

He subconsciously regarded Chen Sheng as an enemy who had just kicked him awake.

Boom—

A fist as huge as a stone pier wrapped in powerful force fell from above Chen Sheng’s head.

The violent wind it brought even made Chen Sheng’s hair dance wildly.

Next second,

Bang.

Chen Sheng showed no emotion and didn’t dodge.

He just lifted his leg to gently kick again.

His toe tapped at Mr. Chou’s knee, seemingly casual.

But just this seemingly casual touch, shattered the ferocious momentum Mr. Chou had built up.

With a bang,

Mr. Chou felt his body lose control in an instant.

The view in front of him rapidly turned toward the ground.

Soon, his immense body crashed onto the ground. His mouth filled with a mouthful of mud.

Before he could react,

“Get up.”

Chen Sheng’s indifferent voice rang out again. “You are responsible for watching the others.”

Upon hearing the words,

Mr. Chou slowly raised his head.

Under attack, the confusion in his eyes gradually disappeared and became clear again.

Looking at Chen Sheng’s back,

Was that… Lord Xuanwu?

Even in his Breathing State, he didn’t stand a chance against Chen Sheng.

And just now, did he actually try to attack Chen Sheng?

At this thought, cold sweat broke out on Mr. Chou’s forehead.

He didn’t even have time to assess the surrounding situation, and hurriedly climbed off the ground.

He knelt with his body bent, and his forehead heavily hit the ground.

“Yes, sir!”

He didn’t beg for punishment right away, because in the Holy Sect, if a superior decides to punish you, you won’t be able to resist it.

Since Chen Sheng didn’t mention his offense, all Mr. Chou had to do was carry out the task given by Chen Sheng to the best of his ability.

With that thought,

Mr. Chou noticed the situation immediately around him.

Memories of being lost in the illusion flooded back into his mind.

Mr. Chou remembered, when he was going along when suddenly, he answered Chen Sheng’s question.

As a result, he didn’t receive Chen Sheng’s reply.

By the time he looked up, everyone around him had disappeared.

Not only that, the surrounding light also became dimmer and dimmer.

His brain felt increasingly sluggish, as if he would lose his consciousness at any time, leaving him unable to resist.

Fortunately, the arrival of the illusion was unnoticeable, but its binding force seemed to be weak. Chen Sheng’s light kick easily woke him up.

Upon waking, the events that had just transpired occurred.

Such a situation was too strange.

If not for Chen Sheng, Mr. Chou couldn’t imagine the fate of their group of people.

He immediately stood up and began waking up the Holy Sect Personnel around him one by one.

Starting with Mr. Mao, followed by the followers with minor injuries.

As for the seriously injured,

those who could not be awakened were given up by Mr. Chou for the time being.

After all, it was common for many sacrifices to happen during the Holy Sect’s operations,

as long as they provided enough rewards for those who survived, the Holy Sect would always attract those wanted criminals.

While the Holy Sect personnel was recovering,

Chen Sheng began to investigate the surrounding situation again.

He came to a broken Flesh Monster Tree.

Perhaps because it had just died, its fresh flesh and blood had not completely lost its vitality.

As Chen Sheng touched it with his fingers, the flesh and blood contracted and trembled, trying to avoid his touch,

as if the terror of Chen Sheng’s existence had been etched into the instincts of the tree’s flesh and blood.

In front of Chen Sheng, there was no desire to devour, only fear and retreat.

Hmm?

Chen Sheng’s eyes sharpened, as this flesh and blood, did not just remain with their vitality.

This flesh and blood… was still alive.

Even though Chen Sheng had severed the trees, they had not lost their lives.

However, he hadn’t noticed this until he saw it in person.

Chen Sheng recalled the previous experience, how he had fallen into the illusion quietly, without even sensing the life in the strange trees as he walked through the area.

It was the first time that any creature had managed to escape Chen Sheng’s senses.

It was truly strange.

Thinking of this,

Chen Sheng decided to investigate further.

Electric light exploded in his eyes, and the Power of Thunder within his body erupted, coiling around his arm.

Instantly, the surrounding air visibly twisted under the high temperature from the thunder force..
