Dragon King Hall's Legend-Chapter 1708: Qingli’s Godlike Power! Mu Jinyu’s Tragic Choice!

"Hmm?!"

Mu Jinyu sat inside the hollow space of the Pu Demon Tree, startled by Qingli's sudden glance.

In that moment, he truly felt as if Qingli had seen him, leaving him no place to hide, with no concealment whatsoever.

This greatly alarmed him.

If it were only Mo Teng, Xuan Yi, and Youtong seeing him hiding within the Pu Demon Tree, he wouldn't be afraid; after all, they were doomed to die.

But the woman before him, radiating such a formidable aura, posed a very strong sense of threat to him. Her strength was overwhelming, blasting open the tightly sealed door with a single strike!

He was not confident that controlling the Pu Demon Tree would allow him to ensure her death!

And if he failed to kill her, the revelation of his hiding within to slaughter the Foreign Race would be exposed.

It didn't matter to him if he was wanted and hunted by the Foreign Race; he was already accustomed to being hunted back in the Kunlun Ruins.

He only worried whether it would implicate ordinary members of the Human Race.

If his identity was exposed, causing the Flame Spirit Clan and the Palm Demon Clan to start a large-scale massacre of humans out of anger, he would feel immense guilt!

"Kill!!"

Mu Jinyu was uncertain whether Qingli saw him, but he dared not gamble, thus he decisively and boldly made his move, not allowing her to continue speaking!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!"

Instantly, cattail fluff exploded and flew toward Qingli!

And the myriad of branches lashed wildly, like heavenly thunder descending, annihilating Tribulation Transcenders, giving Qingli no chance of survival, without any pity for beauty!

"Ha!"

Seeing this, Qingli's eyes, hidden beneath the golden mask, showed no ripple. She shouted crisply, clenched her hands, and tightly grasped a Sky-Piercer Halberd forged in gold!

"Slash!"

She swung the Sky-Piercer Halberd fiercely, instantly sweeping away the oncoming cattail fluff from the Pu Demon Tree, extinguishing it with no hope of survival!

"Clang!!"

"Boom boom boom!!"

Simultaneously, she frantically wielded the Sky-Piercer Halberd, moving with unbelievable speed, like a great windmill, impenetrable.

The Pu Demon Tree's branches were either deflected by the Sky-Piercer Halberd or shattered into tiny wooden pieces!

"Such terrifying strength!"

"Is this the most talented individual the War Clan has produced in thousands of years? Absolutely terrifying!"

Nearby, the Foreign Race powerful beings, while recuperating, were horrified witnessing Qingli's confrontation with the Pu Demon Tree.

They all, in a joint effort, were utterly suppressed by the Pu Demon Tree!

Although Qingli's cultivation was not much higher than theirs, just by a few minor realms.

But facing the ferocious Pu Demon Tree, she could forbear alone, blocking all its attacks.

Even so, their sharp, discerning eyes could see that the Pu Demon Tree was just a spent force. Although terrifying in aggression, it couldn't hold for long. Once the assault weakened, Qingli could easily finish off this Demon Tree!

This filled them with deep despair and a sense of powerlessness!

Both at the Life and Death Realm, each with racial bloodline ranking around the hundred mark, yet the gap between them and Qingli, with her War Clan Bloodline, was like an unbridgeable chasm!

"Boom boom boom!!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Crack crack..."

Mu Jinyu, controlling the Pu Demon Tree, frantically attacked Qingli, but his heart was devoid of any joy or delight, filled only with dread and unease.

He realized that as the branches of the Pu Demon Tree were intercepted and severed by Qingli's Sky-Piercer Halberd, the Pu Demon Tree might only last another minute or two before it would be unable to continue attacking Qingli!

With no cattail fluff or branches as attack methods, remaining in this abandoned stone palace would make him a sitting duck, slaughtered at their whim!

"No, if I can't kill this woman, I must leave quickly!"

Mu Jinyu, tangled in fear and urgency, finally made a decision. He resolved that while the Pu Demon Tree still had some fight left, he must block Qingli and swiftly escape!

"Whoosh whoosh!!"

Mu Jinyu immediately adjusted his attack, using some branches to assault Qingli while others reached for the stones outside the abandoned stone palace, planning to wrap them and use the branches to drag the Pu Demon Tree out.

Knowing the Pu Demon Tree moved too slowly with its roots, he thought this an opportunity for escape, leaving was impossible otherwise!

"The Demon Tree wants to flee!"

"Let's block it!"

Xuan Yi, Youtong, and other powerful Foreign Race beings, perceiving the Pu Demon Tree's intentions, shouted in alarm and struggled to stand, attempting to stop it from leaving the stone palace!

"Crack!!"

However, their bodies hadn't fully recovered, and seeing Qingli holding off the Pu Demon Tree's wild attacks alone, they overestimated themselves. As they rose, they were struck by branches, reopening wounds that had just started to heal!

"Ah!!"

They fell to the ground, letting out agonizing screams, a truly heart-wrenching sound!

"Damn it!"

Though they suffered, they infuriated Mu Jinyu greatly.

Because of their failed interference, they succeeded to an extent.

Qingli, who had been standing calmly intercepting the cord attacks with the Sky-Piercer Halberd, was unaware of the Pu Demon Tree's intention to flee due to their distraction!

She immediately moved with graceful steps to stand at the doorway!

This truly was a formidable defense!

Mu Jinyu had no doubt that even if a thousand soldiers and horses were to storm from the stone palace, they would be stopped by Qingli, preventing any escape!

"Damn it!!"

Mu Jinyu was enraged, wildly lashing out with branches, trying to forcefully drive Qingli away and escape the abandoned stone palace!

He felt intense anger, helplessness, and dissatisfaction.

He had laid a trap to wipe out these powerful Foreign Race beings thoroughly!

The plan was initially successful until an unfamiliar Foreign Race powerhouse appeared, ruining his plan and forcing him to reap bitter consequences, trapped within the stone palace for slaughter!

This feeling was incredibly frustrating and stifling for Mu Jinyu!

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!!"

Branches of the Pu Demon Tree were severed by Qingli; Mu Jinyu watched helplessly as the Pu Demon Tree ran out of branches to deploy and would be entirely exposed to these Foreign Tribe People, like a fish on a chopping block, at their mercy. Gritting his teeth, he made a desperate decision!

Even if it meant death, he refused to die at the hands of these Foreign Race, nor would he expose his identity, thus risking the Human Race!

Resolute, Mu Jinyu controlled the Pu Demon Tree to cast out two branches, winding around the pillar behind him, drawing upon its force, propelling the Pu Demon Tree into the chaotic currents of Divine Primordial Light behind!
