When Chu Lingtian asked this question, it was not because he really noticed anything unusual, it was just a tentative mention.
However, the Dryad's expression has obviously changed, as if someone has exposed him when he lied. The obvious change in his eyes reveals the Dryad's guilty conscience.
When Chu Lingtian noticed this, he was suddenly startled. He originally just wanted to test it, but he didn't know that the result was beyond his expectation.
"That's it!" Chu Lingtian snorted coldly, and then continued to approach the tree demon.
At this time, the tree demon thought that he had been exposed, so he no longer cared about it. Even if he died, he would not let Chu Lingtian know this secret.
"Crack! Click!"
At this time, only crisp cracking sounds were heard, and the body of the tree demon was already covered with dense cracks.
These cracks had just appeared, and a destructive aura was emanating from them.
When Chu Lingtian saw this, his heart suddenly tightened. He knew that the tree demon clearly wanted to blow himself up and drag him into the water at the same time.
As for the power of the dryad's self-destruction, he did not dare to estimate it casually, otherwise he would suffer a big loss.
So Chu Lingtian's only solution right now is to kill the tree demon before it explodes!
Moreover, he must make a quick decision without wasting even a moment's time.
At this moment, the cracking sound coming from the dryad became louder and louder, and it sounded clearer and crisper, as if it would explode at any time.
Chu Lingtian grasped the Spirit Gathering Sword tightly, raised the sword high, and then slashed forward suddenly.
The sword edge passed by, bringing with it a sharp sword energy, which seemed to break the space in front of him, and it was in front of the tree demon in an instant!
The tree demon had long been determined to die, so he showed no fear at all and allowed the sword energy to strike at him.
Under this sword, the tree demon's body could not bear it at all. It was cut open by the sword energy, and almost half of its body was cut off.
However, there was no regret in the dryad's eyes, instead there was a sense of relief.
He knew that only in this way could he keep his secret, and only by death could he complete his mission.
"My mission...has been completed..." The tree demon took a deep breath and then exhaled.
Immediately afterwards, his eyes suddenly changed, with a hint of determination in his sharp eyes, and then he raised his hand and pressed it on his chest.
As he suddenly exerted force, the protruding chest immediately had dark red lines all over it, showing a radiating shape and spreading to all sides.
Chu Lingtian immediately changed direction, moved the Spirit Gathering Sword in his hand, and stabbed the tree demon in the chest.
But the tree demon had already been prepared. He was already ready to die at any time, so at this moment, he gathered all the branches in front of him.
The sword energy washed away from the Spirit Gathering Sword continued to destroy these branches and was unable to stop Chu Lingtian's pace.
However, the tree demon would no longer care about this. Finally, at this moment, the power accumulated in his body reached the critical point.
An extremely dazzling dark red light suddenly erupted, illuminating the entire valley in dark red, giving people a feeling of the end of the world.
Everyone in the valley felt their breaths stagnate, as if their whole bodies were wrapped by some invisible external force, and a feeling of extreme depression spread throughout their bodies.
Even Chu Lingtian felt like this at this moment.
After he calmed down for a moment, he got rid of this emotion, and his eyes regained the murderous intent.
"We can't let him continue!" This thought in Chu Lingtian's heart was extremely firm. He knew better than anyone else that if the tree demon was not dealt with, the tree demon would really explode.
By then, the power of the tree demon's self-destruction may be enough to destroy the entire valley, and everyone who is now in it will be buried in it.
"Swordsmanship, instant kill!"
Chu Lingtian calmed down, held the Spirit Gathering Sword tightly in his hand, and then swept forward.
But seeing a sword light suddenly rise, his figure shot out directly, passed by the tree demon's side, and appeared behind the tree demon.
And that sword light also penetrated through the tree demon's body, splashing countless blood-colored light spots.
"How long can you... hold on?"
Chu Lingtian turned the Spirit Gathering Sword casually a few times and spoke softly.
Just before he finished speaking, a loud noise suddenly sounded from the tree demon's body, and a deep sword mark appeared on his chest, and then spread quickly.
At a speed visible to the naked eye, sword marks covered the dryad's body in an instant, and then pressed down with an extremely strong force.
Under the pressure of this force, the dryad's body began to compress rapidly, and the branches that were still waving were also suppressed and unable to move.
As for the protruding thing on his chest, it is basically impossible to explode it on its own now.
"No! Impossible!" The dryad demon's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
"You still want to self-destruct?! Oh, did you get my consent?" Chu Lingtian said in a cold tone, then put away the Soul-Gathering Sword and turned around slowly.
His eyes glanced around the tree demon's body, and then he nodded with confidence.
At this time, the tree demon was no longer in any danger, because he knew that the sword just now had destroyed all the meridians in the tree demon's body.
No matter how strong the tree demon is, without the power delivered by its meridians, it can no longer pose any threat.
"Tell me, tell me, what kind of rare treasure are you guarding here?" Chu Lingtian walked towards the tree demon step by step.
His voice became louder and clearer in the dryad's ears, as if every step he took was stepping on his heart.
"Boom! Boom!"
Every time Chu Lingtian took a step, the tree demon's heart shook, but he could not make any movement, he could only stand there quietly, unable to move.
Soon, Chu Lingtian came behind the tree demon, and the aura emanating from him was all directed towards the tree demon.
At this moment, the tree demon actually felt afraid, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"If you are scared, then tell me, what are you here to protect?" Chu Lingtian's voice fell into the ears of the tree demon like a sharp sword.
The tree demon was trembling all over, but still maintained the last bottom line and refused to tell Chu Lingtian any clues.
"You still don't want to say it?" Chu Lingtian stretched out his hand and gently put it on the tree demon's shoulder.
This seemingly random action is actually carrying a huge amount of power!
