Transmigrating into the world of Jade Dynasty, I was targeted by the female lead in a reverse romanc

"roar!!"

The red-eyed boar demon couldn't hold back any longer. Its blood-red eyes were fixed on Jiang Xiaochuan, who was standing in front of it, and it stomped its hind legs against the ground!

Amidst the sound of rocks shattering, its massive body moved with an unexpected speed, like an out-of-control chariot, its head bowed, its two pale white fangs aimed at Jiang Xiaochuan, and charged forward with unparalleled ferocity!

Almost simultaneously, the tree demon also made a move!

Several of the thickest roots, like giant black pythons, suddenly sprang up from the ground, whistling through the air, and lashed out at Jiang Xiaochuan from different angles!

Jiang Xiaochuan didn't retreat. He took a half step back with his left foot, his body slightly lowered, and his right hand loosely gripped the God-Slaying Spear that had been hovering and had a dim light. With a "hum," the spear trembled slightly and fell into his palm.

He didn't activate his spiritual power (he really didn't have any extra spiritual power to activate). He just gripped his gun tightly, staring at the charging pig demon and the tree roots lashing out from the sky.

"Bang!!"

The red-eyed boar demon charged first, but Jiang Xiaochuan neither dodged nor avoided it. He gripped the gun with both hands and thrust the barrel horizontally in front of him!

"clang-!"

A deafeningly loud bang exploded!

The God-Slaying Spear curved in a breathtaking arc. Jiang Xiaochuan's feet were firmly planted on the ground, yet he was still pushed backward a full three feet by the terrifying force. The soles of his shoes scraped against the rocks, making a screeching sound and leaving two clear shallow marks.

But those two pale white fangs, sharp enough to pierce through metal, were actually blocked by his simple, unadorned horizontal strike!

Only two deep white marks remained on the gun barrel.

The red-eyed boar demon seemed to be stunned for a moment, a hint of disbelief flashing in its scarlet eyes.

It clearly hadn't expected that this seemingly weak human could withstand its charge head-on.

Just as it was momentarily stunned, the roots of the tree demons arrived!

With a whistling sound, it lashed hard across Jiang Xiaochuan's back, shoulders, and sides!

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

The dull thud of the whipping sound was like a lash striking leather, and Jiang Xiaochuan's body shook violently, each lash making his face paler.

But he didn't fall; he staggered for a moment, then stood firm again.

"Jiang Xiaochuan!" Lu Xueqi cried out as she saw him from behind. She wanted to step forward and draw her sword, but her spiritual energy was completely depleted, and the Tianya sword in her hand felt incredibly heavy.

"I'm fine! I'm tough, I can handle it!"

He did indeed pull through.

The Blood-Devouring Bead and the Soul-Seizing Transformation Body made him incredibly tough. Those roots that were strong enough to sever the bones of ordinary cultivators only left superficial wounds on his body; although his bones and internal organs were shaken, they were not seriously injured.

The pain was real; each lash felt like being branded by a red-hot iron bar.

The red-eyed boar demon was completely enraged. It roared and charged forward again, its roots following closely behind, whipping and entangled the tree demon even more frantically!

Jiang Xiaochuan was like a stubborn rock, firmly nailed to Lu Xueqi's side.

Lu Xueqi stood behind him, watching his back, watching his shoulders tremble slightly with each heavy blow, watching him...

She bit her lower lip tightly until she tasted blood, her nails digging deep into her palms until they bled, but she felt no pain.

Her heart felt like it was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, the pain making it hard for her to breathe, and her eyes stinging with tears.

She had never hated her powerlessness as much as she did now.

Just then, the blurry human face outline on the tree demon's trunk flickered with eerie green flames, as if it realized that it couldn't break through after a long attack and changed its strategy.

The thickest and toughest roots stopped lashing out and instead, like living black pythons, suddenly accelerated. Taking advantage of the moment when Jiang Xiaochuan was blocking the pig demon's charge, they nimbly bypassed the gun barrel and wrapped themselves around his waist, his arms, and his legs!

The roots were cold and slippery, and with a powerful binding force, they suddenly tightened!

Caught off guard, Jiang Xiaochuan's arms were tightly bound to his sides, the God-Slaying Spear almost slipped from his grasp, and his feet were lifted off the ground by the tight binding!

"Roar!!" Upon seeing this, the red-eyed boar demon's scarlet eyes blazed with ferocity. Seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, it kicked off with its hind legs again, lowered its head, and poured all its strength into its pair of pale white tusks. Like a gust of bloody wind, it no longer charged but shot like an arrow, heading towards Jiang Xiaochuan, who was temporarily bound and unable to dodge.

Lu Xueqi, behind him, charged forward in a frenzy!

"Watch out!!" Jiang Xiaochuan roared, his eyes wide with fury.

He was tightly entangled by the tree roots and couldn't break free for a while, watching helplessly as the pig demon pounced on Lu Xueqi!

Lu Xueqi was not far behind him. The pig demon came too fast and too fiercely!

The stench and the shadow of death instantly enveloped her. Her face turned deathly pale, and she instinctively raised the Tianya sword, holding it horizontally in front of her. But the Tianya sword had no spiritual power; it was just a sharp piece of ordinary iron.

No! It can't be!

Jiang Xiaochuan felt a "boom" in his mind, as if something had exploded.

An unprecedented rage and panic erupted from the deepest part of his heart like a volcano. In the cold depths of his left chest, the dormant Bloodthirsty Bead suddenly contracted and then began to pound wildly!

Thump! Thump! Thump!

It was no longer the clear and persistent beating when I was near her, but a violent throbbing filled with a destructive desire!

At the same time, deep within his bones, in those cold bones that had been tempered by the Soul-Seizing Technique, a strange, greedy tremor emanated.

"Get out of my way!"

He roared to the sky! His bound arms suddenly exerted force!

"Snap! Snap!!"

The incredibly tough tree spirit roots that were wrapped around him were broken off one by one by him, and the broken roots spurted out a foul-smelling black sap!

The moment he broke free of his restraints, he made a grabbing motion in the air with his right hand!

"Buzz!"

The God-Slaying Spear that had fallen to the ground seemed to sense its master's overwhelming rage and murderous intent. Suddenly, the spear burst forth with an unprecedented, blinding dark red light!

A burst of blood-red light shot into the sky, carrying a chilling, deathly aura that seemed to devour everything, and automatically flew into his palm!

It felt cold to the touch, but was scalding hot.

The gun trembled excitedly in his hand, emitting a low, guttural wail, like the awakening of a ferocious beast.

Jiang Xiaochuan's eyes were bloodshot, with almost no whites visible. He stared intently at the red-eyed boar demon that had pounced on Lu Xueqi, its jaws wide open, and suddenly jerked his wrist!

"call out!"

The God-Slaying Spear transformed into a dark red lightning bolt and flew out of my hand!

Just before the boar demon's tusks were about to touch Lu Xueqi's horizontal Tianya sword, "Pfft!!!"

A very faint, muffled thud as a sharp object pierced through leather.

The dark red spear tip pierced through the gaping maw of the red-eyed boar demon and emerged from the back of its head!

It brought up a spray of hot blood and bone fragments mixed with brain matter!

The pig demon's massive body suddenly stopped charging, its scarlet eyes instantly dimming and freezing, filled with bewilderment and disbelief.

Its two indestructible fangs were less than an inch away from Lu Xueqi's sword.

Then, it crashed to the ground with a loud thud, raising a cloud of dust.

The God-Slaying Spear pierced through the pig demon's head, its momentum unstoppable. Carrying the pig demon's corpse, it struck like a fly with a "thud" and plunged into a huge black rock not far behind, disappearing all the way to the hilt!

The pig demon's corpse hung on the gun barrel, swaying slightly.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

From the moment Jiang Xiaochuan suddenly broke free to the moment the gun was thrown into his head, only a breath or two had passed.

Lu Xueqi remained in the parrying stance, her face pale, her pupils constricted, staring at the boar demon's corpse, nailed to the rock and still twitching slightly, and the God-Slaying Spear that trembled slightly and emitted a terrifying blood-red light.

The chill from that life-or-death moment still lingered on her skin.

She turned her head sharply and looked at Jiang Xiaochuan.

After throwing the spear, Jiang Xiaochuan swayed and almost fell. He barely managed to stand up, panting heavily, his eyes still bloodshot. He suddenly turned his head to look at the tree demon.

The tree spirit seemed to be stunned by this sudden change and the terrifying aura emanating from the God-Slaying Spear. The eerie green flames on the tree trunk flickered violently, emitting a piercing "creaking" sound that sounded like the weeping of thousands of ghosts.

It abruptly retracted all its roots, as if trying to retreat and merge into the darkness behind it.

"Trying to run away?!"

Jiang Xiaochuan grinned maliciously, his blood-stained face displaying an unprecedented ferocity.

With a push of his feet, he shot out like a ghost, and in an instant he was in front of the tree demon's thick trunk!

He didn't even try to pull out the slaying spear that was stuck in the rock; instead, he simply stretched out his right hand.

His right hand was spread out, and under the dark red light, the fingertips also faintly glowed with an eerie dark red.

Then, he pointed his fingers like a knife and plunged them into the blurry outline of a human face on the tree trunk!

"puff!"

The five fingers pierced into the dark tree trunk as easily as if they were inserted into a slightly firm piece of tofu!

The tree spirit let out a piercing scream that was so sharp it almost shattered eardrums!

The entire giant tree trembled violently, its countless roots lashing the ground wildly like dying venomous snakes, and the eerie green will-o'-the-wisps instantly dimmed.

Jiang Xiaochuan's hands were stuck in the tree trunk, his face expressionless, only his eyes flashing with a crimson light.

He clearly felt a cold, enormous, yet vibrant "thing" surging wildly into his body through his fingers inserted into the tree trunk!

That's not spiritual power, it's more like... vital energy and life force!

The Bloodthirsty Bead on his left chest throbbed even more wildly, as if it were raining after a long drought, greedily devouring the surging power.

And a pleasant, nourishing hum emanated from his entire skeleton.

The tree spirit's wailing grew fainter and fainter, its struggles weaker and weaker, and its thick trunk withered, died, and turned black at a visible speed. The eerie green flames were completely extinguished, and the gnarled branches drooped limply, as if all moisture and life had been drained away in an instant.

Only a few breaths had passed.

"Splash..."

With a soft sound, the once robust and sturdy tree spirit transformed into a pile of gray-black, lifeless rotten wood and ashes, which fell and piled up at Jiang Xiaochuan's feet. A gust of wind blew it away, and most of it dissipated.

The slaying spear stuck in the rock seemed to have completed its "job." The dazzling dark red blood light on the spear slowly subsided, finally returning to its previous dim and weak red glow.

The corpse of the red-eyed boar demon hanging on the gun barrel, as the bloody light subsided, quickly dried up and weathered away, finally turning into a pile of ashes that fell down with a rustling sound, leaving only its pair of pale white tusks, which clattered twice to the ground.

Everything returned to silence.

Only Jiang Xiaochuan remained standing in place, his right hand still in the forward thrusting position, his fingers covered in black, viscous tree spirit sap.

The crimson in his eyes slowly faded, returning to their original color, but his gaze was somewhat empty, carrying a deep weariness and a hint of... bewilderment.

He slowly withdrew his hand, looking at his fingers, which were covered in black and red stains and trembling slightly, and then at the two piles of ashes on the ground and the pair of lonely fangs.

The feeling of being driven by instinct and devouring everything in that rage just now still lingers in my body's memory.

What did he do?
