Royal Dragon and Phoenix transmigrate to Earth

Chapter 455: Turning the Tables

Even though the pressure on Tianlong Yun was falling, and he was able to recuperate at a faster rate, it was way easier for the level 3 tree who was just robbing from the many sources it had.

No matter how much easier it became for Tianlong Yun to recuperate, in fact, even if he was in his prime condition of recuperating he would still be unable to match the level 3 tree recuperating rate.

With these facts there on the open, it was clear who would be the owner of such a face-off, as pretty soon the level 3 tree was in its primary conditions.

As soon as it returned to its best conditions it was a nor brainer what the level 3 tree would do, as it immediately merged 5 vines into one, and hit the place where Tianlong Yun was sitting in a lotus position.

The vine's target was clear and simple, it was heading towards Tianlong Yun's heart, but that didn't seem to be the only one, as the next instant another merged vine went for his head.

There were more than 4 or 5 of those merged vines in no time, each heading either to block his retreat or in vital organs, like heart, kidneys, liver, and 'the slumbering dragon'.

The level three tree didn't know much about human anatomy, but it could feel that there was a pretty high and dense energy sign in there, and it felt like it couldn't just let it go.

That must be a dangerous point of the human body that might even be able to hurt the tree, so it couldn't allow itself to let go of that target.

Tianlong Yun felt a chill run down his back, not because he was the target of a deadly attack, but that his family jewelries were being threatened at this moment.

This fu*cking tree was trying to cut his line, how could he not feel chills running through his back. Not to mention that it would painful as hell.

This just added gasoline to the already blazing fire, and just approached closer to the level 3 tree's death day.

In fact, this might seem like mere bullshit, considering the current situation, as there was no way that Tianlong Yun would be able to turn this over.

After all, he wasn't some protagonist from shounen anime, where he could gain some plot armor, or some special power just because he had his army of disciples, and the power of love or friendship.

No matter how one looked at this, Tianlong Yun was certainly fu*cked up in this situation, there was nothing he could do to be able to escape from this situation, let alone win.

And before he could move from the place he was standing, the vines arrived in front of him, and no matter what he did, or how faster he got, there was no way he could dodge the attacks targeting him.

'swishhh, sliipp, sniktt, swisshhhh'

Differently from what was expected though, there was no sound of the vines piercing human flash though, and not even a sound of something breaking hard scale, not even clashing against those.

It was truly weird! How could that happen!? There was no way that Tianlong Yun could have been able to dodge those attacks targeting him.

In fact, he seemed nothing more than just a shooting target, that was going to experience the attack of the best snipers.

Not only that, but the sounds coming from his position seemed more like cuts, and slices, nothing close to what it should be, and then,

'plop, fa-thuddd, thuddd'

Those were sounds of wood pieces falling to the ground right!? But how could that be possible!? It was certainly not possible, but the most startling noise was what followed next,

'Screeeeeccchhh~!'

It was the same screeching sound of the level 3 tree that it made earlier when it suffered that flaming tornado from Tianlong Yun.

This time it was even louder, and painful though if that earlier one had been like someone had scratched its skin, and burned it, this time it was like someone it had cut off her fingers.

To understand what had exactly happened, we need to go back a few moments in time

Feeling the attacks coming at him, and that deadly chill for having his family jewelries menaced, Tianlong Yun woke up from his meditation stance and prepared to fight against the level 3 tree.

It was time for him to stop holding back, and show his true strength to this unfortunate tree who had gained sentience.

The moment he decided this, a sword appeared in his hands, in fact, to be more precise it was a saber, a 'willow leaf saber'.

The moment this thing appeared on his right hand the whole situation seemed to have reversed for a moment, and suddenly Tianlong Yun's strength doubled.

But that wasn't all there was to it, it felt like that saber on his hands was an extra part of his body, and at the same time, it seemed to not exist at all.

With the new change and the vines coming towards him, Tianlong Yun just swung the saber a few times, and all the vines targeting him had been sliced cleanly in pieces.

There was no kind of disruption in the surface of the sliced parts, in fact, they looked even smoother than glass.

More than a saber's cut, it looked more like some spatial cut, only something like that would be able to leave such a smooth surface.

That was what everyone would think was happening at that moment, there was no doubt about it, but seeing the saber of Tianlong Yun's hand would completely destroy that thought.

It looked so normal and so ordinary, there wasn't much of decoration over it, only the different colors of the metals that it was comprised of, and it was so clean.

In fact, if one observed closely it would seem like it was just too clean, there was no speck of dust, or any remaining of resin in that saber, even though it had just cleanly sliced more than a few vines.

At this time, the cut-off pieces started falling in the ground one by one, as the level 3 tree started screeching in pain once again.

This time the soul attack was even more terrible than the first time, but there was a big change, it didn't have the backup of the weaker level 2 trees.

As a matter of fact, this time the level 3 tree seemed to be unable to come up with a significant logical counterattack, as it started to just absorb the energy of the weaker trees to regenerate.

It was acting on pure instinct as it was trying to get rid of the pain, and suffering as fast as it could, but certainly, Tianlong Yun wouldn't give the tree that much time.

The situation was already bad as it was, he couldn't allow it to return to primary state once again, as he didn't have the time for it.

The fact that this thing could regenerate at such an amazing rate was already a big disadvantage to him, who all this time had been able to recover only 5-10% of his Soul Power.

If things continued like they were going he could last for 5 minutes top. While it looked like a long time for experts like him, that was only when one was much more powerful than the opponent.

In a fight between experts at the same level of strength, or at a disadvantage 5 minutes were nothing more than the last breath 200m under the ocean's surface to a normal person.

Right now, he had the edge over the tree since he had caught it unprepared with his saber, and had cut most of its vines, but if it continued then he would surely lose.

The problem wasn't only his waning soul power, but even the high speed at which the level 3 tree processed the information, and his fighting prowess.

The longer he extended this fight the more inevitable his loss became, and this was a fact. For that reason, he couldn't afford to extend the fight.

Making up his mind like this, he immediately jumped towards the tree's trunk with all he had, and his sword ready to cut and slice through it.

In no time countless vines and roots appeared in front of him, it looked like to defend itself the level 3 tree could even use its roots, but that still wouldn't change her fate.

Tianlong Yun started slicing his way through any possible obstacle on his way, without caring in the least about the distance he created with the formation anymore.

Looking at everything that happened until now, he was sure that as soon as he 'killed' this level 3 tree, the pressure in the area would certainly disperse, and light would replace darkness.

With each cut and slice through the roots and vines, the more horrifying the screeching soul attack became, but Tianlong Yun didn't seem to care much about it.

His goal was clear, and he wouldn't stop as long as the level 3 tree hadn't been sliced by his saber. This was his best chance, and he couldn't let it escape.

The level 3 tree was becoming more and more panicky with each advancement that Tianlong Yun did, as it actually started perceiving him as a dangerous enemy, and it even started feeling.

That was its biggest mistake though, as the hurry to flee gave Tianlong Yun a small window of action, that he didn't miss, as the saber in his hands was waved more than a few times.

'swishhh, swishhhh, swishhhh, snikt'

It was three slicing sounds, and one piercing sound as the level 3 tree was split into 4 parts, and
