“Do it quick!” Mo Fan yelled as he began to feel uneasy.
His voice echoed for a moment before he heard the answering cry of the Lesser Dragon from below!
Li Dexin had Summoned his Great Lesser Earth Dragon. The muscular dragon rammed into the trunk of the Giant Purple Linden with its horn!
The dragon possessed incredible strength, and the entire Giant Purple Linden shook from the hit. The Devil Tree Spikes that were aiming at Mo Fan missed too.
Mo Fan immediately fled to a safe spot using Fleeing Shadow. As a matter of fact, there was not really a safe spot in the vicinity of the Purple Giant Linden. Its Devil Tree Spikes could reach some distance away, so Mo Fan would always be within its reach if he was still planning to attack it.
The Violet Imperial Battalion launched their attacks. The soldiers were indeed strong. They managed to inflict injuries on the Giant Purple Linden’s body, scraping off several layers of its thick bark. Many of its branches and leaves were blasted off, too!
Their attacks managed to distract the demon tree, allowing Mo Fan to summon his Soul-grade Flames again after catching his breath!
“Sky-Flame Funeral: Flame Belle Sword Feathers!”
It was the fourth-tier Sky-Flame Funeral combined with the three Soul-grade Flames. The Star Constellation Mo Fan was constructing was a lot bigger than usual. When the Stars finally connected, he lifted the huge fireballs and tossed them into the sky!
The two fireballs split continuously, turning into fiery swords floating above Mo Fan. They eventually formed a blazing red formation of swords!
The swords filled up the area like feathers. As Mo Fan flung his arm out, the fiery swords poured down and stabbed the Giant Purple Linden in the same spot on its ‘forehead’.
The fiery swords were spectacular, each stabbing deeply into the trunk of the Giant Purple Linden. The demon tree was unable to dodge, and could only defend itself with the Devil Tree Spikes, but if it fended off Mo Fan’s flames, it would expose the bottom part of its trunk to the Violet Imperial Battalion. Even if it did, it could only block so many fiery swords at once!

“How did he become so strong already!?” Jiang Shaoxu exclaimed, staring at Mo Fan’s magic in astonishment.
He was only an Advanced Mage, yet his spells were already at the Super Level. If he was not going up against the demon tree, his spells were enough to kill some of the more powerful winged beasts in an instant!
Following that thought, Jiang Shaoxu glanced at the gorgeous young woman beside her with a confused face.
Lingling was an intelligent Hunter, but what about this girl called Apas? Was she only here for decoration? But she did not look scared, judging from her calm expression…
“Aren’t you going to do something?” Jiang Shaoxu asked.
“My expertise is Psychic Magic, it’s no use against the tree,” Apas replied. She insisted on being a bystander.
“Oh, me too, what a coincidence. It looks like there’s nothing we can do but cheer for them,” Jiang Shaoxu agreed.
“They will soon alert the winged beasts that are preparing for the ceremony by creating such a scene. The ceremony might be important, but some of them will still return to protect their habitat. You two will have to drive the winged beasts away,” Lingling said.
“We are all bystanders here. Who gave you the right to order us around?” Apas snorted disdainfully.
Apas was a very lazy snake beauty. She would rather find a place to take a nap, if not for the noise. She had not had a chance to take a pleasant nap ever since she came to the wild.

As Lingling thought, the loud noises from the battle attracted a number of winged beasts, including those that had been living on the Giant Purple Tree.
They were a bunch of flying serpents, their wings covered in scales. They were waiting for the Wind of Sorrow with the rest of the winged beasts when their home suddenly came under attack by a group of humans out of nowhere. The angry Scale-Winged Serpents immediately returned to protect their home.
“Are these creatures considered winged beasts too?” Mo Fan turned around and saw five Scale-Winged Serpents glaring at him.
“Every creature with wings is qualified. Brother Fan, I’ll lure them away so you can focus on the tree,” Zhang Xiaohou said.
“Those unambitious creatures have returned to protect their home. They might be winged beasts, but perhaps they can be considered a snake species too…” Mo Fan hesitated for a moment. He stopped attacking the Giant Purple Linden and used Blink to move to another spot.
The Scale-Winged Serpents immediately dove at him. They were obviously obeying the Giant Purple Linden’s will to keep Mo Fan busy!
“Apas, will these snakes take orders from you? Get rid of them for me!” Mo Fan yelled.
“Humph!” Apas was extremely unwilling. She just wanted to be a bystander. Little did she know, the ‘residents’ on the Giant Purple Linden ended up being some snake species with wings!
Apas lifted her gaze and glanced at the five Scale-Winged Serpents coldly. A strong pressure penetrated their minds. They began to shiver as they were diving from the sky.
They quickly spread their wings, like they were slamming hard on the brakes. The five Scale-Winged Serpents suddenly turned into statues in the air, not knowing what they were supposed to do.
Apas’ eyes glittered once again, emitting a sharp golden flicker. The Scale-Winged Serpents immediately fled for their lives, as if the snake empress was telling them to piss off with the look in her eye.
“Wait, tell those Scale-Winged Serpents to attack the Giant Purple Linden instead. Let them deal with the Devil Tree Spikes!” Mo Fan said as a sudden thought crossed his mind.
If Apas could ask the creatures to leave so easily, why couldn’t she order them to attack the Giant Purple Linden too? Why was he so stupid?
Apas’ eyes were filled with impatience. Why did he not say that in the first place? She had to waste her energy again!
The Medusa’s mental strength was overwhelming. She was able to call the Scale-Winged Serpents back even without looking into their eyes.
The Scale-Winged Serpents were relieved after heading back into the sky. They were preparing to rejoin the competition when they saw a pair of terrifying eyes among the clouds above them. The eyes delivered an order into their minds which they could not disobey!
If the Scale-Winged Serpents could shed a tear, they would be soaked in tears by now…
