'Too bad, your position advantages are useless against me in a forest with a dense concentration of wood elements.'
"Fourth spirit ability: Plant manipulation!" Zhu Dingxiang said in a low voice as he activated the fourth ability of the Divine Spiritual Tree.
"Arise, Wood Golem!" Feeling more than 80% of his nature Qi sapped away from his body, Zhu Dingxiang feels weakened.
The surroundings began shaking, as many big cracks appeared on the earth's surface. From there, many thick tree roots and vines coming out before interweaving together. Many tall trees as if becoming alive, started moving all of a sudden.
The bandits were on high alert also noticed the commotion created by Zhu Dingxiang and looked over. But the sight before them couldn't be described by words alone.
Many tall many trees moving and integrating, before forming the silhouette of a 15 meters giant looking very intimidating.
Zhu Dingxiang didn't waste any time, he jumps on its back and commanded the Wood Golem to charge toward the defensive wall of the bandits.
"Boom!… Boom!… Boom!"
Because of its big sizes, every step the Wood Golem takes covers a distance of tens of meters. Every time its giant feet touch the ground, it produces a deafening sound as if signaling the arrival of a disaster.
Seeing the Wood Golem heading toward their direction, the bandits couldn't help but be afraid. Some even tempted to just abandoned their post and ran away.
"WHAT ARE YOU BASTARDS STANDING THERE FOR! FUCKING SHOOT!" Seeing his men standing there shaking, leader Yellow Dog roared at them.
Hearing the roar of leader Yellow Dog, the bandits come out of their dazed state. Pulling on the bowstrings and fire the steel arrows at the Wood Giant. However, they are useless.
"Tick!…Tick!…Tick!…"
The Wood Golem possesses a rough tree-bark exterior that is almost impervious to all physical force. Whenever steel arrows hit its giant boy, the arrows would either stuck in place and unable to penetrate or just bounded off.
Then 3 ballista bolts shooting through the air, its metallic deadly tips reflecting against the scorched sunlight leaving behind 3 rays of white light.
In just a split moment, the ballistae bolts arrived in front of the Wood Golem and penetrated its exterior defense. They only stopped after penetrating 2 meters deep inside.
"It hit! Yes, it hit!"
"I don't believe that this thing would still be alright after getting hit by our ballista bolts."
As the attentions of all the bandits were focusing on the three deep holes, hoping that it would at least slow down this giant monster. However, they are bound to be disappointed as the Wood Golem was created purely out of trees and vine.
After getting hit by the 3 ballista bolt, the Wood Golem continued to advanced forward unhindered.
Arrived in front of the defensive walls, the Wood Golem raised its giant hand and punched down. "BOOM!" The walls were broken as some of the unfortunate bandits were crushed into bloody mushed. But that punch was not the end as many more soon followed after.
The prowess of the wooden giant leaves all the bandits in chaos. Some of them already ran away but they were finished by Little White.
Seeing the situation is not in their favor, leader Yellow Dog knows that he can't rely on these trashes anymore. Looking at the white tiger that was finishing off the runaway, he knows he couldn't escape.
'Dam-nit! Why is this happening? And the intruder…' as the thought of the intruder, a jolt went through leader Yellow Dog's mind. He suddenly looks at the Wood Golem carefully and discovered a man standing on its back.
At the moment, Zhu Dingxiang was recovering his nature Qi and constantly observing the battlefields. Even though there are traces of exhaustion on his face, he is still in a good condition as his recovery rate is very fast.
[Name: Di Haowang.]
[Age: 39]
[Martial spirit: Ferocious Yellow Dog, Mortal-rank (Peak).]
[Cultivation: Body refining, stage 7 (early).]
[Cultivation technique: Tyrant Blade mortal-rank (low), Quick-Step mortal-rank (Peak).]
[Description: Leader of the Yellow Dog bandit.]
Looking at each other. Seeing the exhausted looks on Zhu Dingxiang's face, a brutal light flashed in leader Yellow Dog's eyes.
Leader Yellow Dog waited for the next moment the Wood Golem throws down another punch. With a ferocious expression, he executes his movement technique "Quick-Step" before traversing through the broken debris and sprang up to the golem's arm.
This peak Mortal-rank movement technique is his greatest possession. After trained it to high accomplishment, he was able to kill countless foes and survived many life and death battle.
It only takes a moment for leader Yellow Dog to arrived in front of Zhu Dingxiang, he didn't waste any time and slashed out with his scimitar. The very same move Scar Face used.
"TYRANT BLADE!" Roared leader Yellow Dog as the silhouette of a big ferocious yellow dog materialized behind him.
However, as leader Yellow Dog was charging forward and releasing his martial skill, he suddenly feels something was dragging his feet. Losing his momentum, leader Yellow Dog fall, and his attack was interrupted.
Tens of wooden spikes then rise from the back of the Wood Golem and piercing leader Yellow Dog's body who opened his eyes wides in disbelief. He struggled to turn his head around and discover many thick vines were wrapped tightly around his legs.
Then looking at the wooden spikes that penetrated his body. 'So that's it, I don't even have a chance since the start.'
"Curse you…" as blood dripping down from his mouth, he said his last words and marking the end of the Yellow Dog bandit group.
The screams of the bandits don't stop even after their leader is dead. They begged for mercy and cried in despair.
Sometime later.
The battlefield lay quiet, for it was now a graveyard of the unburied.
'The sun still shone and the wind still blew, but somewhere out there… maybe someone was waiting for them.' Zhu Dingxiang though. He looks at the corpse littering around, their eyes were as immobile as their limbs.
"Am I too heartless?" Zhu Dingxiang asked himself in a sad tone.
