"Never mind their weird situation, I have sensed some special soul-invading powers around since the beginning!" Luo Cailing said with a frown.

"No feeling at all?" Luo Ningxian touched her arm and said blankly.

"You don't feel anything because you have the River Chart of Luo Shu; if not for the Imperial Fire Glaze Spear, I wouldn't have felt this power either!" Luo Cailing pinched Luo Ningxian's cheek and said impatiently.

"Take a closer look at the bloodstains that fell on the ground first!" Luo Cailing turned Luo Ningxian's face down to look. The battle had been happening in mid-air, and almost no one could notice what was happening on the ground. Moreover, the ground below was black, making the bloodstains not very conspicuous after falling.

Luo Ningxian's vision was forcibly turned to the ground. At first, there seemed to be no noticeable changes. However, as she stared longer, Luo Ningxian finally saw an image that was generally unnoticed.

The chunks of flesh that fell to the ground first had tiny "threads" extending from the soil, constantly drawing the fresh blood from the flesh as if they were pulsating blood vessels, extracting the blood and vitality from the bodies, leaving behind rapidly decaying pieces of flesh.

"What is that thing?!" Luo Ningxian looked at the dense web of thin threads, scalp tingling. Her whole body was covered in goosebumps, and watching it was truly nauseating.

"I suspect this is not a Blood Dragon Tree at all, but something else disguised as it. We should..." Luo Cailing gently whispered in Luo Ningxian's ear.

"Ah!" After hearing this, Luo Ningxian's eyes lit up, then nodded and said, "Ailing, is this really going to work?"

"Of course, if it really is some kind of demon tree, it will surely reveal its true colors!" Luo Cailing nodded confidently.

"Good!" Luo Ningxian nodded, and the two of them slowly disappeared from the spot.

Moon wielded a huge spear disproportionate to her body, fighting against a savage-looking shamanic man, while Bexia was engaged in a battle with a burly man.

The burly man had wheat-colored skin with a metallic sheen, standing over three meters tall, with muscles bulging, and his arms thicker than Bexia's waist. He held a carved ice pillar with a twisting serpent depicted on it, and the black snake seemed alive.

This opponent gave Bexia a headache; his defense was terrifying, and he possessed immense strength, making Bexia completely outmatched in close combat.

"Come on! Come on! Come on!!" The burly man patted his bare chest, and Bexia's Mixed-Origin Ice Crystal Spear fell on it without leaving a trace, even failing to scratch it, as he casually knocked the crystal spear away.

"Looks like a woman, fighting like a woman!" The burly man sneered at Bexia without reservation, sweeping the ice pillar in his hand, instantly turning nearby practitioners into a bloody mist. Eventually, apart from Bexia, no one dared to approach the area.

"If you enjoy fighting so much, then let me entertain you!" Bexia was also annoyed by the man's provocation, feeling unusually quick to anger for some reason. However, at times he would regain clarity, feeling that something was amiss but was occupied by the relentless battle, hindering his ability to calm down and contemplate where he went wrong.

"Judgement Touch!"

"Grasp of Space!"

Bexia materialized two divine artifacts, with the horn above his head gleaming with the power of judgment, and the glove in his hand exuding an extremely unstable power.

The forces of judgment and space condensed together, forming a black warblade in Bexia's hand, crackling with compressed thunder arcs. This combined force made the towering man holding the ice pillar feel threatened.

"Come! Try my skills!" Bexia charged at the man again, and when the warblade collided with the ice pillar, guided by judgment and edged by space, it directly shaved off a corner of the ice.

"Break for me!" Having shaved off a corner of the ice pillar, Bexia immediately slashed towards the man's arm, leaving a metallic friction sensation as the warblade sliced through the skin, sparks flying, revealing a hint of blood only at the end. Bexia then aimed the warblade at the man's eye.

"Roar!" The man roared, and a shadow of a monstrous beast appeared behind him. Bexia was driven back by a great force; before he could steady himself in the air, the ice pillar came crashing down on his head.

"Shatter of Judgement!"

"Bang!" The collision of the warblade and the ice pillar forced both Bexia and the man to retreat, but Bexia was pushed back much further than the man.

In a corner of the battlefield, two unseen figures were stealthily completing their covert mission.

"Ailing! It's done, everything is buried!" Luo Ningxian whispered.

"I'm done too!" Luo Cailing smiled, taking out a device with a red button, mischievously saying, "Let's see what kind of ghostly things are under this ground next!"

After saying that, Luo Cailing pressed the red button, and the ground around the Blood Dragon Tree erupted into violent explosions.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The explosions were continuous, as if they had planted numerous bombs underneath. The ground of the small world upheld by the Blood Dragon Tree was all affected, even the people fighting in mid-air were thrown off by the shockwaves, looking amazed at the ground.

"What's happening?"

"Huh?! What just happened to me?"

"What is that thing?"

"Hiss! That is..."
