Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang.

Chapter 819 Nathan's Kingdom is fully opened
"What's that sound? It sounds a bit scary!"

Tian Jinzhong hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound and followed his senior brother. He was fearless.

"It feels so heavy and depressing, like something is about to come out?"

Lu Ci's face was solemn, and Lu Jin's heart was also tense. They felt that the air pressure suddenly dropped, as if a huge rock was pressing on their chest.

Not only them, but also Isaac, Gellert, and even King Nathan and the Nathan Guards beside them, all felt an extremely strong pressure, pushing down on them like a wall, making it almost impossible for them to breathe.

"This is……"

After the previous struggle, Isaac was very familiar with this breath, and quickly reminded:
"This is the breath of the sacred tree... Is it coming out? In the form of a golden tree!!"

"The sacred tree is about to come out?" Upon hearing this, Gellert hurriedly shouted at Zhang Zhiwei to let him go. He felt insecure after losing his power.

"Who is this foreigner? Why is he so noisy?" Lu Ci looked at Gellert and asked curiously.

Gellert's previous appearance reminded Lu Ci of the martial arts competition in the Lu family compound, when he was also carried by Senior Brother Zhang in the same way. Perhaps because of sympathy, his first impression of Gellert was not bad.

"This is Isaac's best friend!" Zhang Zhiwei explained, then he exerted a little force with his hands and squeezed him unconscious.

"This..." Lu Ci asked in confusion, "Why did my best friend get knocked unconscious?"

"This guy has bad intentions and is quite powerful. To prevent him from causing trouble at a critical moment, it is better to knock him out. Come on, take it!"

Zhang Zhiwei explained, threw Gellert into Lu Ci's hands, and then threw Isaac into Lu Jin's hands.

Lu Ci reached out to catch Gellert, and followed Zhang Zhiwei's example by pinching his neck. It really felt good.

It's just that Gellert is too big and he is too short, so if he is lifted like this, Gellert's lower limbs will drag on the ground. If he raises his hands to lift him higher, the posture will be a bit strange.

But it was still too big and looked weird when it was stuck in the crevices.

Finally, he simply picked up Gellert like a sack.

As for Lu Jin, his movements were much gentler. He gently took Isaac and carried him on his back.

Isaac glanced at Gellert who was treated roughly, pursed his lips, and finally said nothing. It was already very good that he didn't throw him directly to the ground.

the other side.

Feeling the approaching majestic aura, King Nathan and Guard Nathan's knees softened and they knelt down.

"The sacred tree, the sacred tree is angry!"

Several Nathan guards had dazed expressions and were muttering to themselves.

Compared to the dull expression of Nathan Wei, King Nathan's face was more of surprise.

He had never seen or even heard of the sacred tree getting angry.

According to the records of Nasen Island so far, no matter what situation it encounters, the sacred tree is always high above, the Tao is ruthless, and the divinity is eternal. There is even a feeling that the sacred tree is the embodiment of the rules of heaven and earth.

But now, the rules of heaven and earth have become angry because of someone.

This puzzled him. What on earth did the other party do to make the sacred tree so angry? !

If it was just outsiders who broke into the island and destroyed the outer part of the sacred tree, this shouldn't have happened. This kind of situation has happened before, so why is it an exception this time?
King Nathan thought about it carefully. If it were him, what would he be angry about?
If an ant on the roadside barks at you, would you get angry?

No, I will just ignore it. Even if it bites me, I will just crush it and will not show such emotion.

There has always been a saying that when you are not strong enough, your anger seems interesting in front of others.

To reveal this kind of current emotion, it is necessary that the instigator is a person of equal or similar status.

"Could it be that... in the eyes of the sacred tree, Tiantong Sect Master is an equal existence, so it is angry because of his offense?"

King Nathan was surprised and thought that, in fact, he had always attached great importance to Zhang Zhiwei, the leader of Tiantong Sect, so he had the idea of ​​making the Dark Lord a branch breaker.

But unexpectedly, he still underestimated Zhang Zhiwei, who was able to make the sacred tree feel threatened. Even if he used some means to turn the Dark Lord and the wizard named Isaac into branch breakers, and added the remaining Nathan Guards, he was afraid that he would not be able to stop the other party.

King Nathan could only sense some of the emotions of the sacred tree. He did not know that Zhang Zhiwei had previously fought with the sacred tree and gained the upper hand. This was the root cause of the sacred tree's anger.

"Brother, didn't you say that the sacred tree was angry? Where is the anger? Why can't I see it?"

Tian Jinzhong was still looking around. He was a carefree man and didn't feel that a storm was about to come.

"It's said to be a sacred tree. Since it's a tree, it's impossible for a sacred tree to fall from the sky!" Zhang Zhiwei said unhappily.

"A divine tree descended from the sky?"

Upon hearing this, Tian Jinzhong subconsciously looked up at the sky. The sky was foggy and there was nothing there. Then he realized that trees grow underground, so even if there was any movement, it came from underground.

He looked at the ground and saw that the fog in front of him became thinner and the visibility became higher. In his field of vision, the originally flat ground began to sink downwards, and a big hole appeared. The big hole was like a whirlpool, swallowing up the surrounding land and rotating and expanding.

In just a few breaths, the ground in front collapsed into a huge whirlpool.

If it was calm just now, now it is like the sea is clearing away with waves. The speed of change is beyond everyone's expectations.

"Master... Senior Brother, the anger of this sacred tree is... a bit big!" Tian Jinzhong said stutteringly.

This was the first time he had seen such a shocking scene, and this was just the prelude; the instigator had not yet appeared.

In this situation, no matter how brave he was, he couldn't help but feel a little worried and quietly retreated behind his senior brother.

"Zhang, is that the real body of the sacred tree that came out?" Isaac asked on Lu Jin's back.

"No!" Zhang Zhiwei shook his head.

"What came out? Such a depressing, scary feeling!" Isaac asked.

"According to what we say, he should be a god whose soul has returned to heaven. According to what you say, he should be an angel who has been reincarnated in heaven!" Zhang Zhiwei said with a smile.

"God...Angel..." Isaac was a little confused.

Lu Jin, Lu Ci and others were also puzzled. What was going on? Why did they suddenly talk about gods and angels?

However, King Nathan and Guard Nathan, who were not far away, suddenly knelt down facing this side with pious expressions on their faces.

……

At this moment, all kinds of powerful auras gushed out from the collapsed ground in front, pressing down heavily.

This caused various chain reactions, and the gods and people of the Nasen Royal City also felt the wrath of the sacred tree.

As God's people, no matter what they were doing at the moment, they all stopped at the same time. Some bowed their heads and worshiped towards the direction of the temple, while others simply prostrated themselves on the ground, chanting prayers... On the other side, the vortex on the ground stopped expanding, and suddenly a large number of branches grew out of it, densely packed like a giant hedgehog.

Among the branches, everyone could clearly see shadowy figures moving around.

It was a little blurry at first, but when I got closer I could see clearly that they were actually tree people with twisted bodies and strange branches.

Their faces have roughly the outline of a human, with keratin growing horizontally on their faces, and their eyes growing randomly on their foreheads, chins, cheeks, etc., making them look very deformed.

"Ah ah ah..."

They let out shrill roars, carrying an extremely terrifying aura and pressure, and rushed over like a devastating natural disaster.

"Brother, what kind of monster is that?" Tian Jinzhong exclaimed, "Didn't you say that it was a being like a god from heaven? Is that it?"

"Is this an angel?" Isaac was also surprised.

"They are just different in appearance, but the essence is the same. Those tree people coming towards us should be the long-time failed branch breakers and the Nasenwei whose souls have returned to the sacred tree. They have been awakened from their slumber by the sacred tree and are going to fight for it again!" Zhang Zhiwei said expressionlessly.

Even though I already knew all this, seeing this scene with my own eyes still gave me a great sense of discomfort.

Although the principles are the same, Taoism and Buddhism give people a sense of grandeur, solemnity, dignity and sacredness.

The Nathan sacred tree gives people a feeling of horror, weirdness, strangeness and discomfort.

There is a sharp contrast between the two sides.

"These tree people are actually the former Nasen Guards? Is this... is this what the Nasen people mean when they say the soul returns to the sacred tree?"

"What's going on with them now? Are they dead or alive?" Tian Jinzhong asked in disbelief.

"In this state, it's hard to say whether they are dead or alive..." Zhang Zhiwei paused and said, "You can also think that they live in symbiosis with the tree... It's a different kind of... immortality."

"Immortality, is this what is called immortality? Brother, you just said that the appearance is different, but the essence is the same. In other words, at the end of our practice, will we also become such an existence?"

After saying this, Tian Jinzhong seemed to lose all his strength in an instant and asked with a dull look on his face.

Lu Jin and Lu Ci were also shocked and looked dazed.

However, they are not Xuanmen, and after all, they have fewer feelings than Tian Jinzhong.

"There's no need to be depressed. Think about it from another perspective. Replace the dark and damp underground with a majestic palace, replace the hideous and weird tree people with armored, sacred and majestic generals, and you can also see your former deceased master and elders. Wouldn't it be better?" Zhang Zhiwei said.

Hearing this, Tian Jinzhong thought about it carefully. If it was really as his senior brother said, it would not be unacceptable, especially since he could meet the elders and fellow disciples of the sect.
"Different in appearance, same in essence!" Isaac was also silently repeating Zhang Zhiwei's words.

He recalled some knowledge about Christianity. Although he was not a religious person, he still had some common sense.

In some modern literary and artistic works, angels in Catholicism are often portrayed as beautiful humanoid creatures with halos on their heads, wings on their backs, and shining holy light.

But these are just the imaginations of the creators. The real image of angels is actually very terrifying.

For example, the angel guarding the entrance to the Garden of Eden recorded in the Book of Ezekiel - the Holy Guardian, has a grotesque image with four faces of a man, a lion, a cow, and an eagle, four wings behind his back, four hands, and eyes all over his body.

For example, the cherubim are two ring-shaped wheels with terrifying eyes covering the surface of the wheels.

If taken individually, any one of them is hundreds or thousands of times more terrifying than these tree people.

Therefore, when an angel descends and encounters a mortal, the first thing they often say is, "Don't be afraid..."

At this moment, he felt as if he had discovered a corner of a huge secret.

At this time, Gellert, who was knocked unconscious by Zhang Zhiwei, perhaps because of the breath brought by the approaching tree man, he actually woke up.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a large number of tree people heading towards him. He was shocked and struggled violently on Lu Ci's shoulder.

Lu Ci raised his hand to hit, but Isaac quickly stopped him.

For Isaac's sake, Lu Ci did not knock Gellert out again, but only warned him not to move, otherwise he would be thrown into the tree man.

Hearing this, Gellert dared not act rashly again.

Seeing that he had calmed down, Isaac told him about the current situation.

"You said... those are the Branch Breakers and Nathan Guardians?"

Gellert was shocked, but at the same time he felt very grateful that he almost became one of those tree people.

Immediately, he remembered Isaac breaking the golden bough and hurriedly asked again.

"Zhang has already helped me, I won't turn into those things!" Isaac explained.

Hearing this, Gellert breathed a sigh of relief. At this point, he no longer doubted whether Isaac's consciousness was controlled or not. The current scene was simply too shocking.

"One, two, three... fifteen, twenty, thirty... one hundred and two... two hundred... two hundred and three..."

He began to count the number of tree people, and the more he counted, the more desperate he looked.

Although his power was blocked, his perception was still there. He could clearly sense that each of the densely packed tree people was as powerful as the previous Nasen Guards, and some were even far stronger.

"Even if I'm in my prime, I can only deal with a few Nathan Guards at a time, and that's my limit. There are nearly three hundred of them so densely packed together, why don't you run away?"

He shouted, "Release my seal quickly, and I will use space magic to take you away?"

No one paid any attention to him, and Zhang Zhiwei didn't even look at him, as if he didn't exist.

Only Isaac explained to him with a serious face: "I'm afraid space magic won't work. I can feel that the space around us has become a block. Not to mention changing shapes, even some magic involving space can't be used. It must be the work of the Nathan God Tree!"

"Then we are dead," Gellert said with a gloomy face.

The tree people were getting closer and closer, and even Lu Jin and Lu Ci were getting a little nervous.

"Before, it took the two of us a lot of effort to kill two Nasen guards. These tree people, not every one of them can be as strong as those Nasen guards!" Lu Ci swallowed his saliva and said.

"Definitely not. There must be a difference in strength before and after death. One will definitely not be as strong after death as before death!" Lu Jin also said.

"From the perspective of aura, there shouldn't be much difference!"

Zhang Zhiwei's words ruthlessly shattered their fantasies.

After saying this, he took a step forward, stretched out his hand, drew a golden line in front of him, and said:
"Don't send these chickens and dogs out to die. I came here just for you. Come out and see the sacred tree!"
