Chapter 119: 119: Might of Evil Subduing



Dark green tree sap gushed out!

This towering tree, several dozen feet tall and thick enough to be hugged by several people, shook violently, and its thousands of offshoots flailed wildly.

They clapped against each other with loud, snapping pops!

An abstract, distorted face emerged on the trunk of the tree, its pitch-black mouth agape.

It was as if it was issuing a silent scream, “It hurts~”

Metal conquers wood.

Wang Chen’s Geng Metal Finger, when used against Wandering Night Spirits and Lantern Carrying Puppets like evil wraiths, wasn’t very effective.

It was nowhere near as sharp as the Fire Crow Technique.

But Granny Tree was different.

Her original form was that of an ancient tree several hundred years old that had undergone a Monster Transformation and was taken over by an evil wraith.

Its strength and essence were primarily concentrated within its wooden body.

Consequently, Wang Chen’s Grandmaster tier Geng Metal Finger caused significant damage to Granny Tree.

It was like losing a vast amount of blood, the tree sap that was akin to lifeblood.

And the fierce Geng Metal qi continued to rampage within.

How could it not feel pain, not be angry?

Yet, amidst the pain and rage, Granny Tree also felt a deep sense of terror!

This ancient tree daemon, after hundreds of years of cultivation, had a body as tough as metal; ordinary Magic Artifacts striking it would barely leave a mark, let alone swords and axes.

Yet it had been pierced through by a single strike from Wang Chen, and the sharpness of his spell made the granny’s courage waver!

The Black Traveler level evil wraith made a snap decision, vigorously shaking its massive crown of leaves.

Crash! Crash! Crash!

With a series of dense cracking sounds, the thousands of vines attacking Wang Chen broke off in unison.

Some of these vines were hit by the Meteor Fire Talisman and were currently burning to charcoal.

The intact ones turned into fully-formed little wooden men with bared teeth and brandished claws.

They hopped and screeched, throwing themselves at Wang Chen with reckless abandon.

Wood Puppets!

Parasitic Puppet entities of the White Wanderer Grade living on Granny Tree.

Meanwhile, countless Wandering Night Spirits and Lantern Carrying Puppets converged from all directions.

They besieged Wang Chen together!

Granny Tree rapidly curled up its body, tucking in its crown to tightly wrap its main trunk with several layers of defense.

Its idea was simple.

Strengthen its defense first to protect itself, then use a sea of expendables to wear down the opponent.

This evil wraith was actually quite clever.

It realized it had underestimated Wang Chen and immediately changed its tactics.

After all, Wang Chen was still a Qi Cultivation cultivator who had just entered the high tier, practicing the Five Elements Skill, which lacked outstanding features.

His Mana compatibility was extremely strong,

But too moderate and stable, unable to sustain continuous outbursts!

As they say, even an ant can bite an elephant to death.

Granny Tree didn’t care about the casualties of her underlings at all.

As long as they could trouble Wang Chen, giving her the chance to find an opening, their complete annihilation would be entirely worthwhile!

However, it had still underestimated its opponent.

Facing the onslaught of evil wraiths, as well as Granny Tree, which had turned into a turtle retracting its head,

Wang Chen immediately swept backward.

But he didn’t have any intention of running away.

Instead, after pulling a distance away, he suddenly raised his right arm.

His five fingers spread open, his sleeves pulled back, revealing the Mysterious Gold bracers entwined around his forearms!

The next moment, the Mysterious Gold bracers silently dissipated, instantly transforming into a small net that he threw forward.

The Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net!

This was the first time Wang Chen had used this treasure in actual combat since he had successfully refined it.

The small net swiftly expanded as it caught the wind, instantly growing into a large net that covered an area with a three-feet radius.

It encompassed hundreds of Wandering Night Spirits, Lantern Carrying Puppets, and Wood Puppets!

All the evil wraiths ensnared by the Demon-Slaying Net immediately met their doomsday, screaming tragically before dissipating into nothingness.

The Might of Evil Subduing was domineering as such!

But while Wang Chen was marveling at the true might of the Demon-Slaying Net, a part of him was also silently bleeding.

All that Human Virtue.

He hadn’t received any of it!

This was probably the most special aspect of the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net.

Wang Chen had previously thought it was because the treasure hadn’t been fully unlocked, but it was still the same after the unlock.

But Wang Chen was never the greedy type.

As the saying goes, one can’t have their cake and eat it too.

To possess such a powerful demon-slaying treasure, what more could he ask for!

Wang Chen reached out to retrieve the Demon-Slaying Net.

However, the very moment he touched it, he couldn’t help but tremble.

A surge of Spiritual Energy so pure it defied belief burst forth from the Demon-Slaying Net, flooding into his body in an instant!

The Five Elements Skill that Wang Chen practiced spontaneously operated, converting the Spiritual Energy that entered his body into Mana and storing it in his Dantian.

The Dantian, which had just been significantly depleted of Mana, was rapidly replenished!

Fuck!

The shock in Wang Chen’s heart at that moment was simply indescribable.

The Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net was not only about slaying evil spirits; it could actually convert the evil spirits’ power into nature’s spiritual energy, feeding it back to the holder!

Moreover, the spiritual power converted by the Demon-Slaying Net was free of any foreign energy and contained no impurities whatsoever.

It was many times stronger than the Qi Recovery Pills he had taken before!

The biggest weakness in Wang Chen’s combat ability was that both his innate Root Bone and his main cultivation technique were quite ordinary.

Although he had mastered spells to a Grandmaster tier, his Dantian’s mana couldn’t support high-intensity output for extended periods. Once trapped in an entanglement, he could only rely on Qi Recovery Pills to make up for the deficiency.

The problem was taking a few Qi Recovery Pills in an emergency wasn’t a big deal.

However, taking too many would not only accumulate a vast amount of toxin within the body, necessitating a considerable effort to expel,

but frequent use could also damage the meridians, affecting the Taoist Foundation!

In addition, in the heat of battle, the difference of a single moment can mean the difference between life and death; there may not be an opportunity to take the pills.

The Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net was entirely different!

The spiritual energy it converted was not only extremely pure but also allowed for an incredibly fast recovery of mana.

Moreover, this magical artifact possessed the ability to store spiritual energy. Wang Chen could extract as much as he wanted, not just a one-off use!

What did this mean?

It meant that from now on, he had an automatically energy-storing, extra-large blue potion bottle!

Mom doesn’t have to worry about me running out of mana anymore.

Wang Chen was moved to tears!

He flicked his wrist, and the Demon-Slaying Net shrank back to its original shape, a crystal-clear bead rolling into the palm of his hand.

A Yin Qi Pearl!

Alright then.

In a flash, Wang Chen was overcome with shame.

He had actually felt a twinge of reluctance at not gaining Human Virtue points just a moment ago.

Now he truly understood.

What the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net could offer him was far more substantial!

“Squeak!”

While Wang Chen was distracted, a number of evil spirits pounced on him from all sides, gnashing teeth and brandishing claws, trying to engulf him.

Wang Chen, coming back to his senses, let out a cold laugh and drew the Autumn Water Longsword with his left hand.

His true opponent had always been only Granny Tree, from the beginning to the end.

The Gray Roam Level and White Wanderer Grade evil spirits could only consume his mana.

Even if Wang Chen dispensed with the Spirit Light Shield Armor,

and took off his robe,

he could withstand their attacks with his Heavenly Dragon Golden Body alone!

What these evil spirits didn’t know,

was that the more of them there were, the more spiritual energy was charged into the Demon-Slaying Net!

Their self-sacrificing fervor was quite touching indeed.

Wang Chen swung the longsword with his left hand, flames blazing up on the blade instantly, taking on the form of a soaring Fire Crow.

This was the effect of enchanting the weapon with the Fire Crow Technique.

Several Wood Puppets that had just pounced on him couldn’t dodge in time and were decapitated in an instant.

The headless wood bodies immediately caught fire and turned to ash in the blink of an eye!

[Human Virtue +9], [Human Virtue +10], [Human Virtue +9]…

The Human Virtue points naturally came with every kill Wang Chen made.

Those Wood Puppets were nearly the same as the Lantern Carrying Puppets.

At the same time, the Demon-Slaying Net held in Wang Chen’s right hand was cast out again.

It ensnared dozens more evil spirits!

Standing his ground, with the sword in his left and the net in his right, he slashed and captured at close and long ranges, turning all approaching Wandering Night Spirits, Lantern Carrying Puppets, and Wood Puppets into Human Virtue points and pure spiritual energy.

In less than half an incense stick’s worth of time, Wang Chen’s Storage Bag gained three more Yin Qi Pearls!

And the evil spirits in the Chaotic Burial Mound weren’t endless.

With his increasingly skilled reaping, their number dramatically decreased, and their besieging momentum crumbled.

Some Lantern Carrying Puppets even developed a sense of dread, not daring to approach Wang Chen at all!

Just then, Wang Chen suddenly felt something unusual beneath his feet.

Something seemed to be about to break through the ground!

This move again?

Without a second thought, Wang Chen lifted his right foot and then stamped it down hard.

Mudstone Technique!

When a spell was cultivated to the Grandmaster tier, many inherent limitations were broken.

Not to mention using a foot to activate Mudstone Technique.

If Wang Chen wanted to,

he could even conjure rocky terrain by sitting on his butt!

The moment his foot stamped down, the earth beneath it instantly turned into solid stone.

This transformation spread to the surrounding soil and downward at an alarming speed,

immobilizing dozens of living-tree roots within it!

Under the pressure, these roots shattered one after another, spurting out dark-green sap.

“Hiss—”
