The Otherworldly God

Chapter 378

Amidst Le Zhengan's teasing, Le Zhengqiming's cheeks flushed, and he retorted: "Don't talk nonsense, it would be terrible if my wife knew about this."

"daughter in law?"

Ziji and Le Zhengan wondered.

"When did you get a wife?"

"How old is Mr. Qi Ming?"

Le Zhengan and Ziji asked their own questions almost at the same time, but Le Zhengqiming only answered Ziji.

"Eighteen."

"Where is Master Yuhua?"

"Um...nineteen, nineteen."

"Is it always so early?"

Zi Ji seemed to be thinking about something, and her voice was so soft that Le Zheng Qiming could not hear it clearly.

"what?"

"nothing."

Zi Ji was not clear about the age of the humans, especially the Taoists of the Taoist Alliance. He could only compare them based on his own situation and what he saw in the circus. Thinking that they all had wives at such a young age and seemed to have a good relationship, he could not help but feel envious and sad.

Le Zhengan struggled to resist the tree demon and tilted his head to ask for help.

"She has nothing to do but I do. Can't you just take a look at me?"

"Brother An, we agreed that the defense will be left to me and the attack will be yours."

"Shouldn't you protect me a little bit?"

Le Zheng Qiming smiled. He didn't expect that Le Zhengan was still a joker.

He waved his hand and said to Ziji: "Miss Ziji, please step back a few steps and let us handle this. Don't worry, my barrier will protect you."

Zi Ji nodded, her eyes full of gratitude. She knew that her cultivation level was far behind the tree demon in front of her, and without her inner elixir, staying here would only be a burden.

So she quickly retreated and retreated under the ancient tree. Beside her was Le Zheng Qiming's magic, and behind her was the ancient tree that gave her a sense of security and memories. Zi Ji felt very at ease.

Although Le Zheng'an was agile, he seemed to be struggling against the violent attack of the tree demon.

"Brother An, I'm here."

As Le Zhengqiming spoke, the spell in his hand changed, and a powerful spiritual power surged out of his body, instantly forming a more solid defensive barrier. The tree demon's attack landed on the barrier, making bursts of roaring sounds, but the barrier remained motionless.

Seeing this, Le Zhengan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stepped aside.

"That's more like it. Give me some time to catch my breath."

Le Zhengan took the opportunity to rest, as his hands holding the sword were a little numb.

Soon, he stared at the tree monster again, looking for the next opportunity to attack. At the same time, the sword in his hand turned in another direction, and the sword light flashed.

The two cooperated well. When Le Zhengan launched the attack, Le Zhengqiming immediately released the barrier defense and slashed at the tree demon with a sharp sword. The tree demon couldn't react in time and was hit by the sword. He let out a scream and his body suddenly froze.

The tree demon also raised its head and cast the spell back. When it was about to hit Le Zhengan, he stood still. As expected, Le Zhengqiming's barrier protected him again.

Le Zhengan smiled triumphantly, formed seals with his hands, muttered something, and transmitted spiritual power to the sword. In an instant, the sword turned into five, and then he pushed it forward with magic power.

The tree demon quickly jumped away, and the remaining two could only use the vines that grew out of the ground to resist.

Looking at the sword tip so close at hand, the tree demon became even angrier. It pushed aside the vine wall and shouted at Le Zhengan. The tree roots and thorns rushed towards Le Zhengan with a powerful airflow of magic power, but were once again blocked by Le Zhengqiming's barrier.

Le Zheng'an just stood there calmly, and Le Zheng Qiming seemed to be mocking it with laziness, again and again, until the tree demon was forced to go berserk.

Its demonic power exploded, and countless vines stretched out from the ground. Le Zhengan and Le Zheng Qiming could only start dodging.

"Hahaha... there's nothing else you can do. This time I want to see how you guys attack and defend."

"I didn't expect this guy's strength to reach such a level. It's really scary."

"Its demonic power actually affected me and Li Su. What's going on?"

Le Zheng Qiming felt that Li Su was making a low hum, as if responding to the tree demon's power. This prevented him from casting the barrier again, so he could only dodge around.

Not only did the tree demon's vines dance wildly, Le Zhengan's body swayed, and then he realized that its vines were also emitting poisonous gas.

Le Zhengan covered his mouth and nose and warned: "Qiming, be careful, it's poisonous!"

Le Zhengan looked at Le Zheng Qiming's belated realization, and seeing Li Su in his hand, he remembered that the poison gas had no effect on him. It was impossible for him not to be jealous.

Le Zhengan wanted to use the talisman to detoxify again, but as soon as he took out the talisman, he was discovered by the tree demon. The vines not only destroyed his talisman, but also knocked him out.

Le Zheng'an's whole body was limp, his vision was becoming increasingly blurry, his breathing was becoming difficult, and the beads containing his father and brother's treasures rolled out.

He rushed forward, but almost touched it and was taken away by the tree demon.

"Let it go... to me!"

Le Zheng Qiming wanted to help him but was trapped by the tree monster. Le Zhengan looked at him but didn't know why he didn't take any action.

"This bead is really good." The tree demon smelled it, his face changed, and he looked at Zi Ji, "It can't be you, but why is there your scent and... spiritual herbs on it?"

Zi Ji thought for a moment and stood up. "You wanted to practice dual cultivation with me only because I ate your spiritual herbs by mistake. Rather than saying that you wanted to be my husband and wife and practice dual cultivation to conquer the world, it's better to say that you only wanted the spiritual herbs from the beginning, and you wanted to eat me."

"Zi Ji, oh Zi Ji, I am the only one who is sincere to you, but you have misunderstood me again and again. I am the only one who can appreciate your beauty. I am just one step away from being completely free and dominating the world. Even though you ate the spiritual herb by mistake, I have never been angry with you. It was your betrayal and your love for someone else."

"Bah!" Before Zi Ji could refute, Le Zheng Qiming couldn't help but said, "The frog in the well that Senior Brother mentioned is just like you. With your ability, you can't even beat us, and you still want to dominate the world?"

"He is defeated."

"I'm not good at attacking..." Le Zheng Qiming paused, but did not mention Li Su's matter. "Brother An is injured, so it may be difficult for me to deal with you. But it would be easy for my senior brother and junior sister."

Le Zhengan understood that he was merely glorifying the fact that he was weak, and clenched his fists unwillingly.

Upon hearing this, the tree demon's eyes widened with anger and roared, "How dare you underestimate me! Today I will let you see how powerful I am!"

Before he finished speaking, the tree demon launched an even more fierce attack. Countless vines, like sharp swords, mixed with poisonous gas, shot towards Le Zheng Qiming and Le Zheng An.

Although Le Zheng Qiming appeared calm on the surface, he was worried about Le Zheng'an in his heart. He wanted to help but couldn't and could only watch.

Zi Ji turned back into a deer, left the barrier, jumped in front of Le Zhengan, and blocked the attack with his antlers. Although he saved Le Zhengan, he was injured and flew out.

"Miss Ziji!"
