There were many martial artists on this divine bridge, but at this moment, they were all quiet. They stared at Ye Xingchen in front of them, waiting to see the result of this battle.
The assassins of the Shura Sea would not let this go. Luoxiu was one of the top ten seed assassins of this force. He was very proud and would not allow himself to fail.
He would definitely find another opportunity to assassinate Ye Xingchen.
Swoosh!
The void suddenly split open, and a black shadow, like a ghost, stabbed at the space between Ye Xingchen's eyebrows.
This sword was fast, accurate, and ruthless. It was a very profound sword technique.
The sword sliced through the space, not causing a single ripple in the air. It silently approached Ye Xingchen.
Clang!
Facing this sword, Ye Xingchen flicked his finger. His jade-white finger flicked the sword, shattering it.
Clang!
At this moment, a black sword appeared behind him, stabbing at the back of his head.
"The previous sword was a bait. This sword is the killing move," someone saw this and exclaimed.
Ye Xingchen's face was calm. He did not panic because of the change behind him.
Pfft!
The sword behind him stabbed into the back of his head, piercing through him.
"Oh no!" Luoxiu was shocked. He found that the person in front of him was not bleeding. It was just a shadow.
Bang!
A powerful burst of energy swept in all directions. A golden sun crossed the sky, suppressing heaven and earth.
Boom!
Luoxiu flew backward. His chest was hit hard by a punch, and his bones were broken.
The Blood Asura Body could not block the explosion of the opponent's fist intent.
Pfft …
Luo Xiu vomited a great mouthful of blood. He was truly worthy of being called the seed assassin of the Asura Sea; his ability to adapt to changes was incredible. When he was sent flying away by Ye Xingchen, he ignored his own injuries and immediately borrowed the strength of the impact to rapidly retreat. Then, a short sword appeared in his hand. He cut open the void and disappeared without a trace.
"You killed people of the Shura Sea. You will be hunted for the rest of your life."
A voice brimming with killing intent sounded, cold and bone-chilling. "I'm not the only Shura Sea Seed killer who has come to the Green Emperor Dojo. Enjoy your last moments!"
"Hmph, a bunch of cowardly bastards." Ye Xingchen was not afraid in the slightest. He formed a palm seal and blasted it into the void.
Unfortunately, Luo Xiu was proficient in the Void Assassination Technique and had a deep understanding of the Dao of Void. At this moment, he had already escaped into the depths of the Void and disappeared.
Apart from the Divine Bridge that Ye Xingchen was on, battles were breaking out on the other Divine Bridges as well.
On a divine bridge, an old man waved his sleeves, and scarlet blood needles flew out, piercing into the bodies of a few martial artists. Those martial artists instantly turned into pools of blood.
This person was Old Man Xue Cang.
Old Man Xue Cang stood alone in front of a stone stele, comprehending the Grand Dao of Wood, not daring to disturb him.
Just now, Old Man Xue Cang's method was too ruthless. With a wave of his sleeve, he turned several Nirvana Realm martial artists into a pool of blood, completely shocking them.
"Boom!"
On the other side, on a Divine Bridge, Shen Wuyi attacked fiercely. As soon as the Five-Colored Divine Light appeared, it swept through everything and knocked one Nirvana Realm martial artist after another down the Divine Bridge.
"As expected of Shen Wuyi. He is indeed powerful," someone praised.
"Swoosh!"
A bright moonlight rose from behind a holy lady. The bright moon hung high in the sky, sprinkling silver-white moonlight that turned into rays of Bright Moon Sword Qi, sweeping in all directions.
Countless martial artists who attacked Fairy Ming Yue, including those from the Demonic Alliance, the Blood Demon Church, and Rogue Cultivators, were all swept by the countless Bright Moon Sword Qi. They were either pierced to death or swept off the Divine Bridge.
Other than that, on some Divine Bridges, there were powerful ferocious beasts that shook the heavens and the earth, knocking down countless martial artists.
There was a martial artist who had the blood of the Real Dragon flowing in his body. He displayed the martial arts of the Real Dragon and killed several martial artists who surrounded him. He was terrifyingly powerful.
There was also a palm-sized bird that looked like a phoenix. When it spread its wings, its feathers turned into swords, cutting down countless martial artists.
On the Green Emperor's dojo, on countless Divine Bridges, there was a massacre, and blood was everywhere.
After Ye Xingchen defeated Luo Xiu, the people on this Divine Bridge quieted down, and no one came to find trouble with him.
He stood alone in front of the second stone stele, comprehending the Great Path of Wood.
Two hours later, Ye Xingchen stood up and left for the third stone stele.
"What shocking comprehension." Someone saw Ye Xingchen's actions and was shocked.
Until now, they had not comprehended the mystery of the first stone stele and formed the Greenwood Pattern, but Ye Xingchen had already comprehended two stone steles and formed two Greenwood Patterns.
Ye Xingchen spent two hours on the third stone tablet, then the fourth stone tablet, and the fifth stone tablet.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. Ye Xingchen was standing under the 36th stone stele, comprehending the Great Path of Wood.
In these three days, he had comprehended 35 Greenwood Patterns.
On the 36th stone stele, there was an image of a tree branch, no more, no less, a total of 36 leaves. On the side of the stone stele, there were a few lines of small words.
"Lesser Theurgy, Spring Comes to Withered Wood!" Ye Xingchen murmured to himself.
The stone stele said that comprehending 36 Greenwood Patterns would allow one to perform a lesser theurgy called Spring Comes to Withered Wood.
The so-called Theurgy was a special kind of martial art. It was very powerful and was the evolved version of martial arts. Ordinary people could not comprehend and use it.
Theurgy was extremely precious. Even mighty figures might not be able to obtain a great theurgy.
Although the lesser theurgy was the lowest level of theurgy, it was also a life-saving method if learned.
Ye Xingchen closed his eyes to comprehend, and soon, he suddenly opened his eyes.
Following that, he retrieved a withered branch from his interspatial bag and drew mysterious trajectories with his finger. Spiritual light shone in all directions, and green wood veins emerged. Green spots of light danced around and landed on the withered branch.
"Buzz!"
The withered branch sprouted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and young leaves grew out. In just a short moment, the withered branch had 36 leaves. They were verdant and glistening, emitting the aura of life.
"Swish!"
Ye Xingchen continued to unleash the Spring of Withered Wood divine ability, causing the leaves to emit a green glow. Then, the thirty-six flowers bloomed, and the thirty-six flowers bore thirty-six plump fruits that emanated a fragrant aroma.
Ye Xingchen was not satisfied. After pondering for a moment, he tossed the branch in his hand and shot out a mystic light to stop the branch.
He then continued to use the theurgy, and spots of green light landed on the branch like butterflies.
"Buzz!"
This branch was growing rapidly. In just a dozen breaths of time, it had turned into a large tree with lush foliage. Flowers bloomed on the branches, and in the blink of an eye, a year had passed. Many ripe fruits had been produced, and the fragrance of these fruits was enough to make people salivate.
"He … actually comprehended the first wood theurgy in such a short time." Someone was shocked at Ye Xingchen's comprehension speed and mumbled.
"This person's strength, talent, and perception are all top notch. How terrifying."
"What a pity, he offended someone from the Asura Sea. He might not have had the time to grow."
Many martial artists whispered as they saw this.
