"You continue to destroy the interior of the Life Divine Tree. I'll protect you."

"Okay, my lord."

Yingyue laughed sweetly. Now, she greatly enjoyed the feeling of fighting side by side with Ye Qingzhou. As she moved, she was continually releasing terrifying biological toxins.

As the Cyan Python among the Five-Colored Pythons, most skilled in using poison, her talent in this aspect had been significantly enhanced after evolving into a Cyan Flood Dragon.

A silhouette of the Jian Wood Divine Tree appeared on her snow-white, smooth back, and the powerful life attribute energy was at this moment transformed into biological toxins potent enough to extinguish all vitality.

This toxic substance, fused with Primordial Qi, even affected the high-ranked Kabbalah Divine Tree.

"Insignificant insects, you are courting death."

Whoosh~

The Plague Knight suddenly exerted force with his right arm and pulled out the Twin Serpent Greatsword from the huge tumor.

The powerful Plague Divine Power surged in all directions, and a strange rhythm, accompanied by waves raised in the air, resonated onto Ye Qingzhou.

"Hmm?"

Ye Qingzhou immediately felt the cells within his body starting to disintegrate. If not for the Undying Golden Body and the Grand Emperor Undying trait, he might have directly undergone genetic breakdown and melted into a pile of bloody mush.

"Kneel!"

The Plague Knight commanded in a deep voice, pointing the sword directly at Ye Qingzhou.

Boom~

Ye Qingzhou's mental world was suddenly in turmoil, raging with wild waves.

A strong Martial God, bearing the great way, every word and action invariably contained a "Mouth Containing Celestial Decree," thus "Words Accompanied by Law," known as the True Words Law.

And the Plague Knight was an Emperor-Level Martial God of the Twelve-Stories Celestial Tower. Even if his cultivation and foundation couldn't compare with the Ancient Emperors, he was far above a Martial Saint like Ye Qingzhou.

Even though only a projection had descended, the power was enough to crush a Martial Saint.

Ye Qingzhou intuitively felt his spirit utterly exhausted. His knees buckled, and he almost knelt before the Plague Knight, ready to be slaughtered.

At the critical moment, the Flawless Sword Heart radiated a dazzling, brilliant light, illuminating inside and out, allowing Ye Qingzhou to break free from the mental shackles.

"Want me to kneel and submit?"

Ye Qingzhou gritted his teeth, exerted a strong pull, and the sound of breaking iron locks reverberated throughout his body: "Die for me!"

Zheng~

Five Emperors Dragon Sword Art!

Five swords unleashed together!

Divine Weapon encased in thunder and fire, the power of the Celestial Spirit Divine Thunder Flame boundless, each strike capable of shaking mountains and splitting rivers.

"Hmm? The Perfection Realm of 'Fish-into-Dragon Transformation,' and mastery of 'Six Military Techniques'?"

The Plague Knight casually swung the Twin Serpent Greatsword with one hand to dispel Ye Qingzhou's strongest moves, yet an unprecedented seriousness appeared on his face.

This expression of seriousness even carried a thread of fear and unease: "I initially thought Qi Shengtian was the Dragon Emperor's backup plan. I didn't expect that old undying to feign on the open path while secretly taking another route, placing his bet on you."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Ye Qingzhou, failing with one attack, gathered strength and turned back to fight again.

Only to see the blue Celestial Spirit Thunder and red Earth Evil Fire merge into a new energy, Gangsha Unity, releasing a captivating purple-red radiance.

Purple Sky Divine Thunder Sword!

This was a flowing high-energy plasma with a temperature exceeding ten thousand degrees, capable of vaporizing any matter on Blue Star instantly.

"This sword originates from 'Nine Heavens Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique,' please take a closer look."

This convergence of Thunder Gang and Fire Fiend was indestructible and unstoppable, far exceeding the Seven Extremes Imperial Thunder Sword in power. Even the Plague Knight could not withstand it at this moment, his left shoulder and half of his head instantly vaporized and disappeared.

Even the egg-shaped tumor behind him was blasted with a huge one-meter-wide hole, blood splattering everywhere.

"Damn, if only my Divine Body wasn't yet complete, how could you have..."

Zheng~

Ye Qingzhou couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense and continued to attack with his sword.

He intended to catch his opponent off guard, so he used all his means with no idle chatter with the enemy.

"You despicable bastard!"

The Plague Knight swung his sword repeatedly to parry, his half head and left shoulder also rapidly recovering, but Ye Qingzhou's attacks continued to inflict more wounds on his flesh.

If it were ordinary wounds, that would be fine, the Plague Knight could forcibly heal them with his robust vitality.

But what's deadly is that Ye Qingzhou's attacks were mixed with all kinds of chaotic energies, continuously corroding his blood and flesh, and even able to block the operation of Divine Power.

"Net of All Causes! I want to know his weakness!"

"Analysis failed."

"How is that possible?"

The Plague Knight was taken aback upon seeing the Net of All Causes recovery, with Ye Qingzhou's data list full of question marks, a situation unprecedented before.

"Did the Cyan Emperor Lineage cast a Celestial Secret concealing Secret Technique on you?"

The Plague Knight, with half his body still incubating in the tree seed, was unable to move, could only wield his sword with one hand to fend off the tidal wave of assaults from Ye Qingzhou.

Clang~ Clang~ Clang~

Though the Plague Knight continuously blocked Ye Qingzhou's attacks, as the Sword Intent and Sword Qi accumulated within kept building up, his flesh body burst apart again, splattering a large piece of blood and flesh.

"What kind of weird move is this?"

Feeling the chaotic Power of Thought Ability within, the Plague Knight was extremely frustrated. If his flesh body could complete its metamorphosis and hatch from the seed, he could easily crush the mortal before him with a single move.

But the bitter truth was that most of his powers were still within the seed, with the transformation ritual incomplete, causing him to appear so powerless in front of even a mere Martial Saint.
