Chapter 944 Escape
Chen Yang watched the few people in front of him with a wry smile, shaking his head helplessly.
He didn't know the woman in front of him, but he could guess who she was from her aura.
It was the ancient tree from Misty Village!
"The Zhuge family has been looking for you, and they called me just now, asking me to come over."
"I didn't expect you to be in Qingzhou City. How did you know about Yangyangyang Company?"
Chen Yang actually had many questions, such as how she managed to manifest a physical body.
Although the ancient tree had existed for thousands of years, its strength was far from being able to manifest.
"The Zhuge family often talked about you, so I had no choice but to come find you."
"Do you remember what you promised me before?"
The ancient tree's manifestation was a little nervous. What if Chen Yang went back on his word and didn't help her deal with the snake demon?
She would truly be swallowed by the snake demon!
After Chen Yang gave the ancient tree a definite answer, he then introduced the ancient tree's identity to the two of them.
"What did you say? An ancient tree?"
Chen Yang's answer left Liu Ran and Su Ya both shocked.
They would never have imagined that the woman sitting with them was actually a tree.
And a tree that had lived for thousands of years!
Seeing that they didn't quite believe her, the ancient tree's manifestation simply transformed its limbs into its original form.
The dry branches immediately convinced Chen Yang and Su Ya of the truth.
They were already martial artists now and had some understanding of these strange things.
"But that snake demon has also existed for thousands of years. If you go alone, can you ensure your safety?"
Liu Ran was worried about Chen Yang's safety, after all, it was a snake demon that had lived for thousands of years.
Su Ya immediately said, "Should we call my master too? Isn't my master as strong as you? If you two go together, even if you can't defeat that snake demon, you can at least guarantee your safety."
The person Su Ya was referring to was naturally Chen Shu.
But she didn't know that Chen Shu had already left Qingzhou City at this time.
"It's just a small snake demon, I can handle it alone."
Chen Yang whispered a few words to Liu Ran, and then under Liu Ran and Su Ya's watchful eyes, he left Qingzhou City with the ancient tree's manifestation.
After leaving the building, Chen Yang finally had time to ask the ancient tree's manifestation what was going on.
"With your current strength, you shouldn't have a physical body like this, right?"
Chen Yang had experienced manifestation before.
The ancient tree's strength was clearly not at that level.
"This is just a branch of mine, my main body has already hidden itself."
"We need to go back quickly, the range my main body can move is too small, the snake demon will find my main body sooner or later."
Under the guidance of the ancient tree's manifestation, Chen Yang did not go directly to Misty Village.
Instead, he went to a low mountain outside Misty Village.
"My main body is here!"
The ancient tree's manifestation said, but her expression suddenly changed: "No, where is my main body?"
At this moment, Chen Yang also sensed several auras in the depths.
Martial artist at the peak of Grandmaster level?
Before the ancient tree's manifestation could finish speaking, the other party had clearly sensed the existence of the ancient tree's manifestation and Chen Yang.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss, I thought you had already escaped, but I didn't expect you to come back!"
"Just right, I'll refine your body, and then refine your spiritual energy!"
The speaker was an old man with a withered face and cloudy eyes, clearly a martial artist whose lifespan was nearing its end.
Beside the old man was a black python several meters wide.
Chen Yang looked at the other party with some confusion.
This black python had clearly been subdued by the other party.
"Eh? Another martial artist at the peak of the mortal realm, not bad, not bad!"
"Submit to me, and I will bestow upon you supreme cultivation techniques!"
Chen Yang did not expect the other party to immediately target him.
Sensing the aura on the other party, Chen Yang frowned: "Ancient martial artist?"
The old man was stunned for a moment, then chuckled: "Ancient martial artist? Yes, to you, I am indeed like an ancient martial artist."
"Normally, I wouldn't bother with someone of your strength."
"However, with the changes in heaven and earth now, there aren't that many choices."
Chen Yang rubbed his chin and said to the ancient tree's manifestation beside him, "You didn't say there were ancient martial artists here before."
The ancient tree's manifestation thought Chen Yang was afraid of the other party and said nervously, "I... I just found out about this person's existence. The snake demon has been tracking my whereabouts for the past few days, and it's only the snake demon!"
Chen Yang shrugged indifferently: "Don't be nervous, I didn't say I wouldn't deal with them for you."
"It's just an ancient martial artist."
The young man in front of him spoke the words "ancient martial artist" so casually. The old man who had just subdued the snake demon laughed in anger instead of getting angry: "Young man, sometimes people have to pay the price in blood to learn their lesson!"
"I have another plan. Refining you into a spirit is not bad either!"
Saying that, the old man's body instantly erupted with a surge of internal energy, like a tidal wave, engulfing Chen Yang and the ancient tree's manifestation.
Chen Yang looked at the powerful internal energy in front of him and nodded: "Indeed, it's very strong."
Facing such power, the ancient tree's manifestation had lost all desire to resist. She could only stand blankly beside Chen Yang.
She didn't even have the thought of escaping.
"Am I going to die?"
But when the ancient tree's manifestation closed her eyes, she didn't feel any power crushing her.
Chen Yang's voice sounded in her ear: "Die? With me here, you won't die."
Chen Yang shattered the incoming internal energy with a single palm.
"I must say, your strength is indeed quite good. You must have just awakened, right? The flow of your internal energy still has some issues, but you should be able to exert eight or nine-tenths of your strength."
"Your lifespan is short, which means your blood qi is insufficient."
"To recover to this state in a short period is already very strong."
"However, you've forgotten something very important. No matter how powerful you were in the past, you are now just a peak Grandmaster."
Before the old man could react, Chen Yang appeared in front of him.
He couldn't even see how Chen Yang had arrived.
"Bang!"
After a dull thud, Chen Yang looked at the mist of blood in front of him and asked the snake demon beside him helplessly: "Is your master usually this arrogant? Don't they know I'm strong?"
The snake demon was already frozen with fear.
The snake demon had been in the mountains for the past month. After encountering the old man, its spiritual energy was refined, and it had no choice but to submit to him.
Originally, the snake demon wanted to lead the old man to refine the ancient tree.
Who knew that the ancient tree wasn't refined, but the old guy lost his own life instead.
