In terms of power, the Hell sect master was superior to Xin Youxuan.
However, the sword techniques inherited from Xin Shaoxuan's family were the best in the world. His moves were marvelous, and coupled with his Mysterious Gate's true nature technique, it was a perfect match.
Slowly, the path of Hell's Sect Leader was completely restrained by his martial arts.
As Xin Youxuan stabbed out with her sword, she had already unknowingly managed to catch the essence of the sword technique.
Originally, the Hell sect master felt that something was wrong, so he had quietly used his unique technique, Soulreaver.
But at this time, Xin Youxuan had already reached the peak of his strength. In addition to the Magic Cube that was placed in his mouth, this sort of evil spiritual martial artist was no longer of any use to him.
"Aiya!" The Hell's Gate Sovereign cried out. Xin Youxuan's sword had already pierced into his right shoulder.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xin Youxuan reached out his index and middle fingers and tapped the air with his acupoints, connecting them to the three major acupoints on the Hell's Gate Sovereign's body.
With a 'clang' sound, the Lancets in the hands of the Underworld Sect's disciples fell to the ground.
Xin Youxuan said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, Sovereign. I can't keep you alive next time and have hurt you. Please do not forgive me."
"You stinking brat. My sect's master treated you so well in vain. He is actually so heartless. One day, he will fall into my hands and at that time, you will definitely be unable to live, unable to even beg for death." The Hell sect leader said flustered and exasperated.
"Sovereign, it's not bad that you've overestimated me, but that's all for a purpose. If it weren't for your little friendship during this period of time, you would've been a part of my sword already."
After he finished speaking, he walked out of the room.
Upon seeing this, the head of the Underworld Sect laughed sinisterly. "It's not that easy."
While she was speaking with Xin Youxuan, the Hell sect master had already unsealed a portion of her acupoints. Her body could move.
He then quietly pressed down on the mechanism in the room and used it to roll in the room.
Before Xin Youxuan could react, the roof and walls of the hall began to move. In the blink of an eye, the entire hall had turned from a palace to a flat piece of land.
This confused Xin Xiuxuan. What did the Hell's Gate Sovereign mean by this? he thought to himself.
However, the more he was like this, the more he didn't dare to be careless. He had to be careful, afraid that there might be some sort of trap.
At this time, from who knows where, the Sect Leader of the Underworld Sect Leader's cold voice sounded, saying: "Brat, I'll let you know now just how formidable the 'General of the Residence' that I, the Sect Leader, am raising is."
Just as he finished his sentence, he heard a burst of rumbling sounds.
Four large holes suddenly appeared in the four corners of the flat ground. Soon after, four ugly towering trees rose up from the holes.
The mysterious thing was, once it was completely exposed to the ground, the branches of the big tree were like spider webs, intertwining and densely packed. Soon, it turned into a tree house.
He didn't know when, but the air was filled with the smell of blood and red leaves. It was terrifying.
The branches grew faster and more numerous.
Gradually, they were very close to Xin Youxuan.
She had never seen such a strange tree before. She waved her sword and wanted to cut it off so she could get out.
However, the tree branches seemed to have a mind of their own, nimbly avoiding his sword. Some of them even took the opportunity to wrap around his sword.
Xin Youxuan panicked and poured her true energy into her arm. She tried to pull it back, but the sword didn't leave her hand. Instead, the tree branches wrapped around the sword took advantage of the opportunity to wrap themselves around his arm.
At this moment, it was impossible for Xin Youxuan to throw away her sword and protect herself.
Branches were twining around his head, his waist, and his feet.
Xin Youxuan wanted to struggle free, but not only was she unable to do so, she was becoming tighter and tighter until she was completely wrapped up.
After the Sect Leader of Hell's Gate, who was hiding in the shadows, saw this, he happily smiled and said, "Kid, now do you know just how powerful my Sect Leader's' General of the Residence 'is?"
"Let me tell you, this is the legendary man-eating Zun Bai. You will suffer in a while." The Lord of the Infernal Realm continued.
Xin Youxuan's heart skipped a beat. What?! This was the legendary man-eating tree?!
It turned out that Xin Youxuan had once heard her father say that in the primitive forests of some desolate islands in the South Sea, there were some strange tree species.
It was said that this tree was abnormally terrifying and relied solely on sucking human and animal blood for food. Once entangled, there was very little chance for it to survive.
Later on, someone invented a method to feed the tree with his own blood every day.
As time passed by, the tree would gain its own intelligence and would connect with the blood donator through their minds. They would listen to her commands and attack others under her command.
But this tree only grows in the virgin forests of remote islands in the South China Sea,
No one has ever been able to transplant this tree elsewhere.
The Lord of Hell didn't know how to plant four trees in his Carefree Palace.
After Zun Bai had entangled Xin Youxuan, he started secreting a liquid from the branch.
At first, he didn't think much of it, but slowly, Xin Youxuan began to feel numb all over. She thought to herself, "If this goes on, I'll have to let myself go. When the time comes, I won't be able to move."
The head of the Underworld Sect laughed again, "Brat, don't you feel that your body is somewhat unable to move now? That's right, when you are completely unconscious, this sect's head's' General Residence 'will begin to suck your blood so that you won't feel pain anymore. It looks like it's being considerate to you."
Xin Youxuan knew that the Underworld Sect Master wasn't lying.
He was extremely anxious and knew that if he didn't take any measures, he would really be sucked dry of his blood by Man-eater Zun Bai.
In that moment of crisis, he suddenly remembered something that his father, the old Sect Leader of the Yellow Mountain Sect, had once told him.
But at this time, where could he find fire?
Right now, he would definitely not be able to take out the fire piston. The only option left was to use the three True Flames in his body to burn this hateful man-eating Zun Bai.
He closed his eyes and began to circulate the innate energy of the magical technique of nature from his dantian. He meditated on the Yang energy in between the heavens and the earth, then channeled it from the Shaoyang meridian into his palms and rubbed his hands together.
When the temperature was about to rise, he shouted loudly and pushed out his palms, and in an instant, rays of light shot out in all directions.
The Three Flames of Taoism was a result of Xin Youxuan's own cultivation. It was no small matter. Once it landed on the man-eating tree, it immediately started a raging fire.
