199: Guardian of the Earth! Water Spirit Bluebird!!
Swish swish—!!
Cold light flashed continuously!
The blade's edge was chilling, easily cutting the seemingly incredibly hard tree roots into two sections as if slicing tofu.
Rip! Rip! Rip!
Dense, countless tree roots were everywhere, trying to approach Ye Ze, but they all snapped into countless pieces with crisp sounds, piling up on the ground.
Roar roar—!!
The Thousand-Needle Demon Tree let out a frightened roar, its branches flailing wildly, at a loss in the face of the scene before it.
From Ye Ze, it sensed a fear from the depths of its soul, a fear that prevented it from unleashing its full strength.
Whoosh—!
Ye Ze flashed, closing in on the Thousand-Needle Demon Tree, and just as he was about to swing his blade—
Buzz—!!
An invisible Spirit pulse struck from Ye Ze's left, heading straight for his brain.
However, Ye Ze only felt a slight sting, his eyes glazed over for an instant, then quickly regained clarity.
At this level, Ye Ze's nearly thousand Spirit points were simply too high.
-
Swish—!!
A flash of cold light illuminated the dark forest!
Weakness Detection - Ultimate Detection!
Eye Cut - Mad Blade - Star Shatter!!
Crack—!!
A crisp snapping sound rang out.
The Thousand-Needle Demon Tree, with greatly reduced attributes, couldn't block Ye Ze's single strike and was directly cut in half at the waist.

A large amount of river water poured down from the sky, converging into a surging torrent, irresistibly sweeping towards Ye Ze and the others.

Rock Shield - Wall of Rock!!
A dense yellow light erupted from Ye Ze's palm,
Rumble! Rumble!!!
A roaring sound emanated,
The ground shook!
A giant Wall of Rock quickly rose before them, diverting the surging floodwaters.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The rushing torrent, carrying astonishing kinetic energy, impacted the rock, emitting a deafening roar.
The torrent seemed endless, continuously impacting the Wall of Rock.
Finally—
Crack crack! Crack crack! Crack crack!
Tiny sounds came through,
Under the continuous impact, several small cracks appeared on the Wall of Rock.
Rock Shield - Earth's Guardian!
Buzz!
A yellow light erupted from the Wall of Rock, and on the ground, a continuous stream of Earth Element energy flowed into the Wall of Rock.
The cracks in the Wall of Rock were quickly repaired completely, and it exuded a profound aura.
With the continuous blessing of Earth Element energy, no matter how the torrent raged, it could not break through the Wall of Rock.
The Wall of Rock stood firm amidst the torrent, unmoving.
Two minutes later, the torrent subsided.
Ye Ze looked up at a blue figure in the sky, the boss of this stage—the Lord-tier monster Water Spirit Azure Bird!
The Water Spirit Azure Bird circled in the air,
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
The next moment, it flapped its wings, and water condensed into a large number of water cones, shooting towards everyone.
Rock Prison!
Ye Ze seized the opportunity, waved his right hand, and dense yellow light, a large amount of Earth Element energy converged into a Rock Prison, forming above the Water Spirit Azure Bird's head.
It slammed down, striking the Water Spirit Azure Bird to the ground.
Bang bang! Bang bang! Bang bang!
The Water Spirit Azure Bird impacted the Rock Prison, emitting loud thuds,
Visible cracks appeared on the rock pillars,
Ye Ze didn't dare to delay; a moment later, the Water Spirit Azure Bird would break through the cage.
Ice Ring Spell!
Ye Ze lightly stomped the ground, and a powerful cold current spread out, covering the Water Spirit Azure Bird with layers of frost, its limbs gradually stiffening.
But the water flow on its body continuously circulated and washed away, so it probably wouldn't stay frozen for long.
Sand Dust Art - Quicksand Burial!
Countless sand dust gathered together, like the surging waters of the Yellow River, rushing out with a roar.
The yellow quicksand instantly submerged the Water Spirit Azure Bird.
Crack! Crack!
Bang!!!
Under the erosion of the quicksand, the Water Spirit Azure Bird disintegrated into countless shards of ice and water droplets, mixing with the quicksand.
Killed 28th-level Lord-tier monster Water Spirit Azure Bird x 1!
