His Highness the Crown Prince Always Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 68: Succeed

The more than a dozen people who had escaped were shocked when they saw this scene.

Huo Li Ruo’s heart felt an inexplicable twinge as he watched Yu Qing Qian being dragged in front of the demonic tree.

While silently reciting a spell to release ice arrows and icicles, he pulled out a dagger with a cold, sharp glint from his boot and rushed forward.

Xie Shu didn’t hesitate at all either and immediately released a wisteria that seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious veil. Then she used several coins made of special crystals in her hand to form a curse and mentally attack the demonic tree.

Mu’rong Qing only paused for a moment, then quickly released the spiritual plant he had formed a contract with, which enhanced Xie Shu’s mental energy attack. They merged into one and immediately attacked the demonic tree.

Xiao Zi Kun also rushed forward with Huo Li Ruo, holding a longsword, slashing at the grey branches and leaves of the demonic tree.

Gu Xin Tong only hesitated for a moment before immediately summoning her contracted spiritual plant as well to support with fireballs and attack the demonic tree one by one.

Yin Ming gritted his teeth and looked ahead nervously, feeling frustrated as to why his offence was so weak and he couldn’t help at all in the moment.

Others were frightened and stared in fearful shock, not daring to step forward.

Yu Qing Qian was dragged in front of the demonic tree with a vague smile on her lips.

This demonic tree was the boss of the waves of demonic trees that attacked everyone. It was about the level of a Five-leaf Spirit Attendant, so attacks from others couldn’t cause fatal damage to it at all.

At this moment, it just wanted to tear apart Yu Qing Qian alive and devour her. Not only because she had practically killed all its lackeys, but also because there was a power in her that attracted it—a temptation that made it feel it might advance if it ate her.

Huo Li Ruo and Xiao Zi Kun kept slicing branches and vines, but they couldn’t get close to the demonic tree’s body no matter what and prevent it from dragging Yu Qing Qian closer.

“No.” Huo Li Ruo couldn’t resist shouting when he saw the two green eyes of the demonic tree glowing eerily, opening its huge, ferocious mouth wide and biting towards Yu Qing Qian’s head.

Others also held their breath, and the movements of their hands stopped subconsciously.

“Qing Qian!” Xie Shu’s voice was filled with trembles and fear.

Just when everyone thought Yu Qing Qian would fall into the mouth of the demonic tree, her figure unexpectedly broke free from the entanglement of the vines and disappeared.

Then a bewitching crimson flower emerged from the ground and countless emerald-green vine leaves grew rapidly, tightly wrapping around the grey branches of the demonic tree.

A blue figure suddenly appeared from behind the demonic tree and a dagger with a bluish-black eerie glint was inserted directly into the location of the crystal core on its back.

“JIE JIE!!” The demonic tree looked up to the sky and shouted several times, its body entangled by the green leaves of the Demon Emperor Herb, and it couldn’t move.

It could only turn its head, open its mouth and angrily spit out a pool of foul-smelling dark grey liquid venom at Yu Qing Qian.

Yu Qing Qian’s movements were flexible, like a ghost. She avoided the venom with a single leap and took the opportunity to push the dagger hard into one of the demonic tree’s eyes.

Her movements were swift and sharp. After one of the demonic tree’s eyes was blinded, she immediately pulled out her dagger and stabbed the other one.

The demonic tree wasn’t prepared for her to attack its weak point so quickly. It only had time to scream again when a lustrous and smooth hand reached into its back that was pierced by the dagger and gouged out the crystal core from its body.

This demonic tree, which had been arrogant at the front of this trail for many years, was now reduced to a puddle of smelly mud with no life left in it.

Yu Qing Qian played with the grey crystal in her hand with a smile of success in her bright eyes.
