When system cheat becomes rampant!

However, the tree person remained unharmed and continued to strike towards Long Guocheng.

The tree person actually ignored his Vision Pressure entirely!

It was as if his gaze was a stream of water that hit a clump of cotton, completely absorbed!

"Can't hurt it?"

Long Guocheng muttered in a low voice, just moments ago when he had clashed with the Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage, he was able to burst its tentacles with a stare. But facing this suddenly revived tree person, he was unexpectedly unable to respond!

In the brief moment Long Guocheng was in a daze, its roots burrowed into the ground, entwining around his bare feet, lifting him upside down. Then countless tendrils sprouted from the roots, and the thin tendrils pierced into Long Guocheng's lower legs.

Long Guocheng cried out as his feet felt numb, his Spiritual Power rapidly draining from his body. At that moment, Ma Ziqian rushed past, a dagger in his hand flashing a cold light as he cut the roots, pulling Long Guocheng back.

Long Guocheng flipped down to the ground, touching his leg. There was still a length of the severed root wrapped around his lower leg, sticking to his skin like fine needle holes. He hastily tore it from his leg.

But from all directions, countless roots exploded out, sweeping towards them. Ma Ziqian immediately grabbed Long Guocheng and Xi Keyao, flashing to the side.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The roots still did not give up the chase, and at this time, Li Zimu waved his arms, summoning chunks of boulders, which soared through the air and smashed towards the tree people.

Chaotic Stone Piercing Sky!

The hefty stones whistled down, each as large as a table, and a hit from them was no laughing matter.

Yet, the tree people did not dodge at all, shooting straight up towards the sky, crashing into the boulders. Li Zimu's boulders hit the tree people on their crowns with precision and simply disappeared!

The stones weren't swept aside nor shattered; they just vanished upon contact with the tree people!

"It swallowed my boulders?"

Li Zimu was slightly taken aback. His boulders, when they came smashing down, should have been very heavy and not so easily neutralized. But mysteriously, after his boulders were rolled over, they just disappeared, not even a single leaf was stirred up.

At that moment, the tree people had already lunged towards him. Li Zimu immediately sidestepped. He tried to use his ability to blur the lines between dreams and reality to phase his body and avoid the tree person's attack. However, the tree person's twisted roots struck his form, actually sweeping across his ethereal body!

Li Zimu turned pale as a wound appeared on his shoulder, and his phantasmal form was forcefully solidified!

The ability he had used to counter the Ghostly Visage was completely ineffective against the tree person!

"Careful!"

On the side, Di Sheng rolled on the ground, and the earth rose in a series of columns, falling onto Li Zimu, pulling him back. However, the roots rushed over again, shattering the columns. The solid earth columns were instantly engulfed in a sea of leaves.

Despite having been defeated by Li Zimu, Di Sheng held no grudge and instead helped Li Zimu at a critical moment.

"Thank you."

Li Zimu supported his shoulder, using Spiritual Power to heal the wound.

"No need, let's figure out a way to deal with them first. My abilities, like yours, can't stop it," Di Sheng shook his head. He could only pull Li Zimu back, incapable of halting the trees.

The attacks from the tree people were quite peculiar, catching everyone off guard. The various abilities they deployed were ineffective against the tree people.

"Fall back!"

Cheng Xin'an, as an SSR, did not retreat in this situation but stepped forward, radiance surging from his body. The white light transformed into ripples, tearing through space, surging towards the tree people.

He had a very powerful ability called [Righteousness Purification]. Righteousness Purification was a range-based formidable attack. The system would first assess the target's righteousness value on a scale from one to ten.

The lower the righteousness value of the target, the more powerful Cheng Xin'an's attack would be. It was with this powerful [Righteousness Purification] that he had won two Meridian Opening phase bouts for his school.

The lower the target's righteousness value, the greater the damage. If the righteousness value was negative, then the inflicted damage would almost multiply more than tenfold!

He was a natural pioneer, dealing with desolate beasts decisively because, in the judgment of his system, all desolate beasts belonged to "Negative Qi." That is to say, whenever he encountered desolate beasts, his power could be enhanced tenfold!

Cheng Xing'an's white glow was extremely intense, and when it burst forth, it brought with it immense pressure, violently sweeping over those flying roots.

However, he was soon shocked!

The Righteousness Purification that could normally destroy steel-hardness simply passed through the roots without affecting them in the slightest, as if it were just a simple white light with no threatening power.

"My abilities are ineffective against these things!" Cheng Xing'an cried out in alarm and immediately led his teammates to retreat.

He couldn't help but glance at his system interface.

[Current righteousness value of the tree person: negative three]

The righteousness value was clearly negative!

That meant his attacks should cause thirty times the damage to the tree person.

Yet, the tree person remained unharmed in the face of the Righteousness Purification!

This turn of events greatly astonished Cheng Xing'an!

Righteousness Purification was effective against any living being, especially desolate beasts. For this pioneering action, he initially killed Meridian Opening stage desolate beasts relying on Righteousness Purification to purify them completely, invincible in every encounter.

This was the first time he met a tough nut to crack!

This tree person was not an ordinary desolate beast at all!

Bang! Bang!

Xiang Beifei once again punched a tree person, sending it flying with a violent fist that directly broke off its arm.

"How can you hurt them?" Cheng Xing'an asked in a low voice.

He found it incredible that Xiang Beifei could actually hurt the tree people.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

"What are you standing there for? Are you all just going to stand around and watch?"

Ma Ziqian's figure blinked rapidly, his speed was extremely fast, and with each sweep of his knife, many leaves and branches fluttered in the air.

"You can hurt them too?"

Cheng Xing'an watched Ma Ziqian, who was only at the late stage of Qi-Controlling, in astonishment again.

"What do you mean 'can hurt them'? Can't you all hit them?" Ma Ziqian asked, puzzled. He stopped and looked at Xiang Beifei, saying, "The captain and I can."

"You can only rely on brute strength to attack!" Xiang Beifei said solemnly, "This thing absorbs spiritual power, so any skill-based attack is ineffective against it."

Just now, to deal with the Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage, he ignited the withered forest with his fist flame, but the forest did not completely catch fire; the reason must have been related to this.

These tree people were unafraid of any skill-based attacks.

Li Zimu and Long Guocheng relied on spiritual power to deploy their abilities, Cheng Xing'an and Di Sheng transformed spiritual power into powerful attacks, yet to the tree people, these abilities seemed like flashy trifles.

Ma Ziqian's attacks were pure. He did not rely solely on spiritual power but on speed. Speed could bring about a powerful impact, and as long as the speed was fast enough, even a rope could become a sharp cutter, slicing through iron like mud.

At that moment, Ma Ziqian's spiritual power was applied to himself, boosting his speed, so with just a shiny dagger, he could create a very powerful attack force. His attack was not so extravagant and flashy.

Ma Ziqian's dagger was made of special metal, not a system item, so it was not restrained by the tree people.

Xiang Beifei's fist flame couldn't ignite the tree people, but he inherently preferred close combat. Even without deploying Rapid Flame, each of his moves and styles were terrifyingly powerful, and a punch was not something the tree people could easily endure.
