The Emperor is Above

Chapter 156: This day next year will be your memorial day
"Is it because my eyes are blurry?"

The man in black robe looked dazed and rubbed his eyes desperately, only to find that he was not mistaken.

There are two giant locust trees that are fifteen or sixteen feet tall. Their thick trunks are like bodies, and their roots at the bottom are like legs and feet. They stride wildly across the wasteland.

"Bang-"

"Bang-"

"Bang-"

They ran so fast that at first they were just a vaguely visible black dot in the distant wasteland, but in the blink of an eye they were already several miles away, allowing the two black-robed priests of the Black Wind Tribe to see them more clearly.

The two tree spirits were running wildly, their dense treetops shaking violently with their steps, and their dense dragon claw-shaped branches looked like countless pairs of waving claws, which made people feel chilled.

"Ah! Dryad! It's a dryad!"

The black-robed woman's delicate face was extremely pale at this moment, and the faint smile of the past could no longer be seen. Her eyes were full of fear, and she screamed loudly,
"How could these two huge tree spirits appear here? How could they run so fast? This is totally unreasonable!"

The black-robed man had a bitter look on his face. He said in a deep voice, "Of course, ordinary tree spirits with low strength cannot move, but tree spirits with high strength can walk on their own. These two dragon claw locust tree spirits are running like the wind, with such amazing momentum and pressure. Their strength is so great that you and I cannot fight against them."

"Dragon Claw Sophora Tree Spirit? It's actually a Dragon Claw Sophora Tree Spirit."

The black-robed woman was stunned for a moment, and then she shouted in a sharper voice, "Aren't there four giant locust trees in the Solitary Hill? Could it be that these two locust tree spirits are two of them? Why didn't anyone discover it in advance?"

Before the black-robed woman finished her words, the black-robed man could not help but shiver. He immediately understood why the Water Horse Tribe had such a strange experience when they attacked the Solitary Hill Fengtu.

Why did Qing Yi rashly lead hundreds of beastmaster apprentices out when he knew that the various tribes in Daze, cats, ghosts, and gods' servants were eyeing Guqiu one after another?

Why did Qing Yi not choose to escape but instead led more than 200 people to fight back when he learned that the coalition forces of thousands of various tribes in Daze were going to encircle and suppress him with a ten-fold advantage?

After figuring this out, the man in black robe replied in an even more bitter voice: "There are indeed four locust trees on the lonely hill, and we didn't find any problems before.

Priest Hei Kui is right. This time we fell into the trap set by the boy from Guqiu and fell into the trap he set specifically for the coalition forces of the various tribes in Daze.

I thought that Guqiu had been tricked and was lured out by us, but I didn't expect that he would also take advantage of our trick and gather us together to catch us all in one fell swoop."

"Nan Fengyue, if you've figured it out, run away. Why are you still standing there talking nonsense?"

The woman in black robe screamed angrily and fled to the Jiming Lake in the east, hoping that the soft mud in the lake could help them escape.

"It's really a different time now."

The black-robed man ran after the black-robed woman, shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

"Just now I was angry at Priest Hei Kui for abandoning us and running away first, but now I admire his cautiousness. No wonder he has been able to escape danger so many times in the past twenty years."

"Moreover, to put it nicely, it means acting cautiously and putting safety first; to put it bluntly, it means seeking big things but cherishing one's life, and sacrificing the greater good for the sake of small gains.

If you only seek to be foolproof and not take risks, and run away when you see danger, how can you achieve great things? No wonder the Cat Ghost Cult has not achieved much success in Zhongzhou after being spread for decades.

On the other hand, our clan has only been performing miracles for over thirty years since the Black Wind God appeared, and now our reputation far exceeds that of the Cat Ghost Cult. This is the reputation we gained from ambushing the Right Master of the Xing Kingdom nine years ago."

The black-robed woman was angry that the three Cat Ghost God priests escaped early, and she was particularly contemptuous of the Cat Ghost God Cult.

The black-robed man could only nod in agreement. If the Black Wind Tribe had not fought head-on with the State of Xing back then, how could the Black Wind Tribe have such a huge reputation?
But then the black-robed man shouted in fear: "Yingluo Jijiu, what's going on? Why are the two of us running in the same place?"

"Bang-"

“Bang——” “Bang——”

The heavy footsteps behind me became louder and louder, and the ground was shaking more and more strongly.

The two black-robed priests were horrified to find that although they tried their best to use their skills to run two or three miles, they could not run even a single step further.

It was as if they were fixed in place by invisible air, and as the two tree spirits got closer and closer, their bodies were still rapidly retreating backwards.

"Black Wind Body Protection——"

"Black Wind God Blessing——"

"The Holy Eucharist—"

The two black-robed priests, unwilling to be captured, were so angry that their faces turned red, and they used all their magic.

Sometimes black wind surrounded his body, and sometimes a huge illusory shadow of a god appeared, but he despairingly found that it had no effect on changing the situation. Even the illusory shadow of the god was shattered by the dense branches of the dragon claw locust tree.

"Shuashuashua——"

When the dense branches of Sophora japonica completely tied them up, the two exhausted men had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​escaping or resisting.

The black-robed man murmured in despair, "Why are these two dragon claw locust tree spirits so powerful? They can actually use the energy to control objects, which can only be mastered by a first-grade grandmaster. Could they be tree spirits at the first-grade level? How can a little kid like Guqiu control these two tree spirits?"

The black-robed woman's desperate look was quickly replaced by surprise and the joy of revenge: "Huh? Priest Hei Kui, didn't you escape in advance? We meet again so soon."

On the body of another dragon claw locust tree spirit, there were three figures tied up like dumplings. They were the Hei Kui priest and three other cat ghost priests who had abandoned everyone and fled in advance.

"hehe--"

The Hei Kui priest was tied up with dense branches of Sophora japonica, leaving only his head exposed.

He laughed weakly and awkwardly twice, left the other party behind and ran away early, but was caught back inexplicably. It was really difficult to say anything.

The only thing that made him feel fortunate was that his intermediate divine servant realized the situation and escaped in advance. As long as Guqiu Yi did not kill him immediately, he had the confidence to make a deal and get away.

"Oh oh oh-"

At this time, a five-foot-tall rooster suddenly emerged from the crown of the locust tree, stepped on the head of the Hei Kui priest with unhappiness, and crowed loudly, as if protesting against the locust tree spirit for going out without saying hello.

However, the two dragon claw locust tree spirits did not respond at all and continued to march madly towards the coalition forces of the Daze tribes. The crowing of the big rooster seemed to be a clarion call for a charge.

The three or four thousand allied forces from various tribes in Daze panicked when they saw the two tree spirits approaching. The fact that the priests of the Black Wind Tribe and the Cat Ghost God had no power to resist made them even more panicked.

Some chose to flee with the Water Horse Tribe, some gritted their teeth and followed Ji Wuhen to continue charging towards the Guqiu army formation, and more collapsed to the ground, unable to move, under the powerful mental pressure of the two tree spirits.

"You little boy from Guqiu will die. The anger of a common man will splatter blood five steps away. Even if you can command the tree spirits, this day next year will be your memorial day!"

At this time, Ji Wuhen's eyes were wide open and bloodshot, and he rushed towards Qing Yi with a halberd in his hand and roared.

Even though many wild warriors who followed him all the way fell to the ground one after another and the rest of the tribes continued to disintegrate, it could not change his determination to kill Qing Yi.

When the two dragon claw locust tree spirits realized that something was wrong and tried to stop Ji Wuhen from getting closer by controlling objects with Qi, he was only fifty feet away from the Guqiu army formation. He used all his totemic power to throw the halberd in his hand towards Qing Yi.
