In this bizarre world, I can extract supernatural powers.

The moment Xu Bai saw the withered branch, a wisp of smoke immediately appeared before his eyes.

【Ghost Branch of Locust Tree: Formed from condensed resentment, it can nurture corpses, creating an eerie atmosphere】

[Burning twenty years of mysterious lifespan, extractable]

Another strange creature.

A hint of excitement flashed in Xu Bai's eyes.

He now lacks not only the power of the uncanny, but also the power of the uncanny.

After joining the Ghost Hunters, he can find information related to the supernatural, but not information about the supernatural creatures themselves.

The appearance of this strange creature is like a godsend for Xu Bai.

Liu Yue also saw the strange creature, but unlike Xu Bai, she was not excited; instead, she looked serious.

"This is troublesome. This aura is strange, belonging to the fourth stage of the Transcendent Realm."

The translucent woman, nestled within the locust tree, exuded an eerie and chilling aura.

Furthermore, the ghostly locust tree branch in his arms amplified the chilling aura, sending shivers down one's spine.

Xu Bai frowned and said, "Join forces."

He didn't waste any words, because he sensed that the strange creature in front of him was even stronger than the old Taoist priest he had dealt with before.

After all, the old Taoist priest was at most at the third level of the Transcendent Realm, infinitely close to the fourth level, while this strange creature was a genuine fourth level of the Transcendent Realm, just like Constable Chen.

Liu Yue nodded solemnly.

Just then, a voice came.

"elder sister!"

The madwoman seemed to regain her senses, staring blankly at the semi-transparent, eerie object, and whispered something.

The moment those words were uttered, an anomaly suddenly appeared.

The eerie figure, who had been calmly keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

The temperature around them seemed to drop several degrees suddenly. Even though Xu Bai possessed the cultivation of the third level of the Transcendent Realm, he still felt a chill creeping over him.

Moreover, with its eyes opening strangely, the locust tree seemed to come alive, its branches swaying slightly.

As the branches swayed, an eerie atmosphere permeated the entire locust tree.

Liu Yue gritted her teeth: "The locust tree is yin, and using the yin energy of the locust tree to enhance the eerie aura and make it even stronger, the Yin Corpse Sect has some good methods. I know what they're up to."

"They wanted to raise a monster to the fifth level of the Transcendent Realm using the strange creature and the locust tree as a base, but unfortunately, we interrupted them."

Without hesitation, Xu Bai unleashed lightning from his fingertips, striking the strange creature.

"Now is not the time to discuss these things; killing the monsters is the priority."

The lightning transformed into a majestic heavenly force, swiftly striking the strange creature.

But the next moment, tree roots suddenly rose from the strange creature's body, blocking the lightning.

A deafening roar erupted as lightning scorched the tree roots black, yet the strange creature within remained unharmed.

"Such strong defense." Xu Bai raised an eyebrow. "This kind of defense is not easy to deal with."

His Yin Wood Thunder Sword Technique has reached the perfect level, and its attack power would be extremely difficult for even those who are at the same Transcendent Realm to resist.

But now the tree roots are resisting it completely, which shows how strong its defense is.

Liu Yue waved the red thread: "Be careful, it's about to fight back."

No sooner had he finished speaking than he made his move in a bizarre manner.

The tree branches, carrying a chilling aura, swept towards Xu Bai and Liu Yue.

Xu Bai reacted extremely quickly, circulating his true qi to his legs and suddenly retreating.

Liu Yue, on the other hand, activated the red thread, transforming it into a giant red net that collided with the tree branches.

When the branch fell onto the red line, the red line cut the branch off like a knife.

But before Liu Yue could relax, the broken branches actually grew back.

"It is based on wood, and not only does it have defensive capabilities, but it also has extremely strong regenerative abilities."

Liu Yue shouted, "We can't handle this! We'd better retreat!"

As monster hunters, although they are a group of madmen who risk their lives for achievements, it doesn't mean they are not afraid of death.

Knowing you are no match for them, yet still insisting on fighting them, is something only a fool would do.

But when Liu Yue turned her head, she saw Xu Bai approaching the strange creature and pointing his sword fingers repeatedly.

The sword struck the tree branch, unleashing a thunderous display of divine power that blasted the branch apart.

Xu Bai raised his left hand and threw a powerful punch.

Qi Extreme Heaven-Reaching Fist!

This fist technique can accumulate true qi, and the longer it accumulates, the stronger its power becomes, up to the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn.

He hadn't been building up his strength for long, as Xu Bai wanted to test the waters first.

The fist, imbued with true qi, struck the tree roots once more.

This time, the tightly packed branches turned into fragments.

Two attacks breached the defenses.

Xu Bai pointed his sword finger again.

Liu Yue had been a ghost hunter for many years, so she knew what Xu Bai meant.

Since the tree roots have defended the eerie structure so tightly, let's try to break through the defenses and attack the semi-transparent woman directly.

Normally, Liu Yue alone would absolutely not be able to break through the tree root defenses. After all, although she is a cultivator, her profession is matchmaker, which makes her somewhat weak in offensive tactics.

But now that Xu Bai has broken through the strange defense with his supreme power, she naturally wants to take advantage of the situation and pursue him.

The red threads coalesced into a single strand, piercing the semi-transparent woman like a sharp sword.

Lightning and red threads intertwined, slamming hard into the semi-transparent woman.

The woman's color suddenly became even more transparent.

Liu Yue's face lit up with joy, thinking that she had succeeded.

But before she could be happy for long, something unusual happened.

A large amount of cold air entered the translucent woman's body, and her figure stabilized, returning her to normal once again.

Liu Yue shouted again, "Don't try anymore! There's no way the two of us can break through its defenses. Even if we do, we can't withstand its regenerative abilities."

After saying that, she prepared to turn around and leave.

Although she and Xu Bai had cooperated, she would never die with him here if Xu Bai insisted on going his own way.

I already reminded him, let's see if Xu Bai can come to his senses.

But just as she turned around, something unexpected happened.

The locust tree swayed its branches, which suddenly lengthened, blocking out everything around it.

Everywhere you look, there are dense branches, like a cage blocking Liu Yue's escape route.

Liu Yue's face suddenly turned pale.

"Damn it, I should have known better than to cooperate with Xu Bai's attack."

She could sense that the branches, which resembled a cage, carried a chilling aura.

If she had just run away, things might not have turned out this way.

Now all we can do is wait to die.

Liu Yue turned her gaze to Xu Bai, preparing to say something.

As a monster hunter, even in dire straits, one must try to break the deadlock.

But before she could speak, she noticed that Xu Bai's expression was not quite right.

At this moment, Xu Bai did not show any panic. Instead, he remained calm, as if he was pondering something.

Liu Yue, being exceptionally astute, immediately understood and hurriedly asked, "Do you have a way to break this deadlock?"

She hoped her idea was right, and that Xu Bai really did have a way to break the deadlock.

If not, then we can only wait to die.

Xu Bai swept across the locust tree.

At that moment, the tree branches grew rapidly and were attacking them.

Xu Bai only said one sentence.

"Block me for the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn."

Liu Yue stood there, stunned.

She looked at the approaching branch and gritted her teeth.

"Two incense sticks' worth of blood, you want my life!"
