Chapter 376 Annihilating the Demon Snow

Chapter 376 Annihilating the Demon Snow

The large tree appeared behind Ye Ru, and its powerful holy energy began to spread outwards, causing many people to look extremely shocked.

This was the first time Ye Ru had released the power of the Sacred Ancient Tree, but he knew that even this small amount of power was enough to annihilate the opponent's Sacred Annihilation Array.

After all, this Saint-Destroying Formation is not the same formation that could kill saints as before; at most, it can only kill scholars or those who have passed the imperial examinations.

This is nothing to Ye Ru, who is a treasure trove of valuable resources.

The ancient sacred tree swayed behind Ye Ru, and clusters of green light spread out, eventually forming a defensive shield that completely enveloped him.

"Hmph, I'd like to see how much of the Sacred Ancient Tree's power you can wield. Slash!"

The sharp blade above Ye Ru's head slashed down directly at Ye Ru as Yao Xue's shout fell.

This scene made everyone hold their breath, their eyes fixed on the sharp blade, and then they glanced at Ye Ru, who remained calm and composed.

Seeing that Ye Ru did not make any move, Yao Xue couldn't help but show a cold smile.

Doing so would undoubtedly be courting death; he had complete confidence in this Saint-Destroying Array.

"broken!"

However, just as Yao Xue's cold laughter subsided, his face suddenly froze. To everyone's astonishment, Ye Ru simply extended a finger, pointed it in the air, and slowly spat it out.

As Ye Ru finished speaking, the Saint-Slaying Array, which was filled with powerful demonic energy, began to melt as soon as it touched the protective barrier of the Sacred Ancient Tree, as if it had encountered something terrifying.

This scene left everyone present in complete silence. Even the demonic cultivators were incredulous. The Saint-Destroying Formation, which had once killed a saint, had been so easily neutralized.

Ye Ru made no move, but simply looked at the horrified Yao Xue, and then slowly said:

“Right now, I only need one move to defeat you. Although I only possess one-tenth of the power of this Sacred Ancient Tree, it is more than enough to kill you.”

These words resounded in the ears of many people, and everyone stared blankly at Ye Ru. They could all feel the power of the Holy Path contained in this ancient tree. Although one-tenth of it seemed small, it was extremely powerful.

Yao Xue and the others were also surprised that they had managed to master one-tenth of the Sacred Ancient Tree in such a short time; it was simply too terrifying.

However, no matter how much they disbelieved it, the power of the Sacred Ancient Tree that the other party unleashed was still undeniably right before their eyes.

"I never expected Ye Ru to have such a huge harvest this time; he took everything from us."

Long Shang sighed. It really did depend on luck.

Compared to the dragon race's dejection, the human race was quite excited, since the items in the Holy Road were not taken by the other three races such as the demon race and the monster race, but all of them fell into the hands of the human race.

"Humanity is about to flourish! I should hurry and tell the teacher."

Guan Hai's stiffness slowly subsided, and he rubbed his face, muttering to himself.

"After we return, we must encourage Father to strengthen ties with the Yanhuang Kingdom. Soon, the Yanhuang Kingdom's overall strength will surely rank among the top ten kingdoms."

Li Xunfeng also changed his previous unruly ways and thought to himself.

"Go."

Ye Ru said calmly, and the ancient sacred tree behind him suddenly burst out with a powerful light, which blasted away the surrounding scarlet light. The corpses of the demon race and the human race also exploded at this moment.

As they watched the crimson light dissipate, countless people swallowed hard. Despite such a powerful attack, Ye Ru was completely unharmed.

This is only one-tenth of the power of the Sacred Ancient Tree. If it were to unleash its full power, probably no one present would be its match.

puff!

As the Annihilation Array was destroyed, Yao Xue, whose face was stiff in the distance, also trembled and spat out a mouthful of blood. Clearly, he was also affected by the destruction of the Annihilation Array.

Wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, Yao Xue stared intently at Ye Ru, her eyes filled with resentment. She had been defeated by him before, and she hadn't expected that the Saint-Destroying Array activated by gathering so much blood would still be like this.

Ye Ru narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on Yao Xue. He already harbored murderous intent towards her. Since she could weaken the demon race's power here, how could he not seize this opportunity?

“I gave you a chance, but you didn’t cherish it. Now you have killed a hundred of my human race. Either you pay for your sins with your own life, or all the demons here will be buried with you. Choose one.”

The soft voice echoed here, simple yet domineering, which made Yao Xue's expression even more unpleasant:

"Don't be so arrogant. Even if I fight you to the death, you can't do anything to me!"

"You can come and try."

Before Yao Xue could finish speaking, Ye Ru's words made his face turn completely ugly:

"it is good!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yao Xue's body shot towards Ye Ru like a sharp sword.

He knew that if he couldn't escape this calamity, he would probably be stuck here forever.

"Then use your life to commemorate our fallen human comrades."

Seeing this, Ye Ru's gaze turned slightly cold, and he immediately stretched out his palm and shook hands with Yao Xue from afar.

boom!

As Ye Ru grasped his hand, countless branches shot out from the ancient sacred tree behind him. A terrifying and powerful force instantly pierced through the void and then, with lightning speed, blasted towards Yao Xue.

Boom boom boom!

The tree branches, like longswords, pierced through Yao Xue's flesh before she could even unleash her power, freezing her body in mid-air. "You... I'm dead. You humans... must keep your promise and release the rest of our demon race..."

He swallowed hard, stared at the several branches stuck to his chest, and looked at Ye Ru with wide eyes in disbelief. Finally, he gave a bitter smile and said...

After uttering the last word, the life force in his pupils gradually faded, and his eyes turned completely gray. His head drooped limply.

A deathly silence fell as everyone stared at Yao Xue, who was pinned in mid-air. They all swallowed hard. A promising young talent of the demon race had fallen and died just like that.

Ye Ru stared at the already dead Yao Xue, sighed softly, then pulled out the branch and slowly laid Yao Xue down. He then approached him, gently smoothed down his eyelids, and said:

"This is a war between two races. If we don't kill you, perhaps a hundred years from now, it will be us humans who will be enslaved..."

"Please forgive me..."
