Armipotent

Chapter 1660  The Joy Of Battle

The ground shook fiercely, the only way for a tree to express its anger. More roots came out from the ground. The branches elongated, and more Dryad Calamity came out from the trunk.

The Dryad Calamity from the main trunk was different. They were bigger, equipped with weapons and armor, and looked like a knight. Not just knights, but there were also Dryad Calamity with robes and magic staff.

These lineups proved that these Dryad Calamities were not just weak mobs spawned by the tree. They were organized and had their own respective roles. More like an army than a disorganized calamity colony.

It was then followed by a rumble from outside the wall. Through his Chaos Eyes, he saw more roots outside the wall. The roots came out from the ground, forming a natural fence before spawning more Dryad Calamity.

He had angered the calamity tree to the point that it focused its resources on him. Those roots and Dryad Calamity outside were to block the reinforcement from the other teams.

Tang Shaoyang did not try to escape or regroup. In fact, he was happy that the calamity tree blocked them off. He could get the high-ranking calamities for himself.

Meanwhile, the tree calamity pulled back its roots from Tang Shaoyang. The injured roots returned underground. It was followed by the barrage of spells from the Dryad Calamity.

The army of Dryad Calamity launched their first attack. They sent a volley of black fire at Tang Shaoyang. Dryad Calamity made a distance from him, avoiding the impact of their mage army. Meanwhile, the knights stayed behind, surrounding the mage, protecting the mages.

The systematic movement proved further they were not the same as the mindless wild calamities.

Tang Shaoyang shook his head. Such an attack would not work on him. He took out Azure Dragon Blade and then formed a portal with Void Elemental Energy. The portal was connected with another one that was behind the weaker Dryad Calamity. He skipped them and went directly to the front of the knights and mage army.

The knights pulled out their swords, and Tang Shaoyang also pulled out his sword.

Heavenly Sword - Heavenly Revoke

His figure blurred, moving to the first row of the Dryad Calamity knights. His sword flashed in blue, cutting through dozens of the knights in one strike. He did not stop there. Raising his sword upward, the fifty-meter gold sword formed. He brought down his sword, and the golden sword followed.

Heavenly Sword - Heaven Fall

The calamity sensed how dangerous it was. It tried to protect the army. Many of its branches tried to block the sword. The gray leaves enlarged, forming a shield. Layers upon layers of defense were formed.

However, it was futile as the gold sword pierced through the leaves and the branches. More black blood poured out from the wound. The ground was shaking even fiercer, expressing its pain when its body was cut.

The sword pierced the defense and landed right in between the mage army. It exploded in golden brilliance, engulfing the mage and the knight.

A big chunk of the calamity tree was gone along with thousands of its army. But Tang Shaoyang was not over yet, bending his body slightly, his sword position was on his waist, holding the sword with just one hand. The azure sword glowed in burning red.

The Eight Heavenly Gate - Heavenly Vermilion

Then he followed with another sword technique: Heavenly Sword - Heaven Severing World.

His figure flashed forward, and at the same time, the image of a vermilion bird formed behind him. The azure sword lit up in crimson fire. It was followed by the screech as he slashed forward.

The crescent red blade formed by the Heavenly Energy was wide enough to reach two hundred meters. The red blade cut through everything in front of Tang Shaoyang.

The knights and the mages that survived the golden sword had to face another technique. The quick-thinking calamity tried to dodge while the slow one tried to block it with a magical barrier or their shield. Their attempt was futile as the blade cut through everything and reached the calamity treeʼs trunk.

The blade cut deep and burned the tree. The blood that flowed out from the trunk was sizzling, and evaporated, creating a bad smell.

The ground had not stopped shaking for a while, shaking even fiercer. More roots came out from the ground, whether it was small or big.

The weaker Dryad Calamity turned around and rushed toward Tang Shaoyang, including the ones outside the city. The calamity tree focused everything on Tang Shaoyang.

Tang Shaoyang grinned in excitement as he took out his battle ax, World Destroyer. A battle ax in his right and a sword in his left hand, he stood in front of the massive tree.

The calamity tree ordered its army to target Tang Shaoyang. Even the Dryad Knight with no lower half, crawling toward him. The mage started to send more volleys of spells.

The spells were rendered useless, whether it was fire, wind, or even ice. The Heavenly Tortoiseʼs shell blocked them off.

Meanwhile, the surviving knights managed to reach Tang Shaoyang. The shell did not stop them from reaching him. Their movement was no longer systematic. The knights rushed toward him even though the mage rained him down with spells. It showed the mental state of the calamity tree.

The army was not the only thing the tree relied on. The branches and the roots started to move again. It slammed everything it had on Tang Shaoyang even though it might cost its army.

Tang Shaoyang greeted the attack with a wide grin. He rushed toward the band of knights, fighting them hand in hand. His sword cut through the knights, and his battle axe crushed them into pieces along with their armor. He did not use any technique or skills, pure close combat.

The branches and the roots hammered him from above, but after several times, it realized it could not break the shell. The calamity tree chose its armyʼs route, attacking below the shell.

The root pierced through the knights, aiming at Tang Shaoyangʼs head.

Swoosh!

The Azure Blade Dragon cut through the root easily. Then it was followed by another bang by World Destroyer. It split apart the root and shattered the root completely.

Dozens of roots and branches came from behind him, and he easily dodged them. With a wide grin plastered on his face, he cut through everything and came closer to him. Thousands of Chaos Blades formed, pinning down many roots and branches, poisoning the calamity tree with his Chaos Energy.

Tang Shaoyang danced with his enemy, alone. That was right, he was alone. He did not summon his spirits or more like he forgot to summon them.
