Reincarnated as a Ginkgo Tree: I Create an Eternal Divine Kingdom - Chapter 59: Obtaining the Dragon Blood

The girl in the red dress was none other than Zhao Mingzhu. The person who had spoken earlier was the fourth elder of the Zhao family.

He walked toward the white-clad girl, intending to sever her head. As he got closer, he noticed something was amiss—there was not a single drop of blood on her body. Before he could react, the girl suddenly sprang to life.

[Wood Element Sword]

Swish!

A wooden sword appeared in the white-clad girl’s hand out of thin air. Over time, her mastery of wood elemental techniques had become quite profound.

Blood splattered.

The Zhao family’s third elder, a peak Qi Refining stage expert, had his throat slashed.

“Su Yao!” the other Zhao family members roared in fury, but beyond their anger, they were deeply puzzled. How had Su Yao survived the rain of arrows unscathed?

They had no idea that Su Yao’s body had been repeatedly strengthened by the Life Essence Liquid, making her nearly as tough as a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Ordinary arrows simply couldn’t harm her.

Su Yao didn’t pause. The Wood Element Sword flew from her hand, but instead of attacking the Zhao family members, it struck the ground.

A deep chasm instantly appeared in the earth, causing the entire forest floor to tremble.

“Not good!” the Zhao family members’ faces turned pale.

Boom!

At that moment, the ground within a radius of several hundred feet collapsed.

This was all part of Su Yao’s plan. She had anticipated that the Zhao family might ambush her during her journey, so she had studied the terrain and identified this red forest as the most likely spot for an attack. She had then come here under the cover of night and hollowed out the ground beneath the forest.

The fact that she had managed to excavate such a large area in just three days was thanks to the help of the marmots. Su Mu had sent ten marmots to assist her, delivered by the Spirit Crows three days earlier. By the previous day, the marmots had completed the excavation.

As a result, when Su Yao struck the ground, the forest floor collapsed instantly.

Beneath the earth, Su Yao had placed numerous sharp bamboo spikes. When the Zhao family members fell, many were impaled, and even those who weren’t severely injured.

“You wretched girl!” Zhao Mingyang, the fourth elder of the Zhao family, was furious. He wanted nothing more than to tear Su Yao to pieces. The losses they had suffered were severe enough that even if they managed to kill Su Yao, the Zhao family would still be significantly weakened.

“Zhao Mingyang, prepare to die!” Su Yao ignored the other Zhao family members and charged toward Zhao Mingyang as quickly as possible. If she could kill him, it would be a devastating blow to the Zhao family.

“You wretched girl, do you really think you can fight me?” Zhao Mingyang’s face twisted with rage. The aura of a Foundation Establishment cultivator erupted from his body. At the same time, a small hammer appeared in his hand. With a flick of his wrist, the small hammer expanded, transforming into a massive weapon half a foot long. The terrifying power emanating from the hammer caused the surrounding air to vibrate.

The spiritual power contained within the hammer was something Su Yao could not withstand on her own. In the critical moment, a gust of wind shot forth, meeting the hammer head-on.

Boom!

The hammer clashed with the gust of wind. Though the wind was dispersed, the hammer was also deflected.

Gaaah!

A giant crow, six feet long, appeared above Su Yao.

“A crow demon?” Zhao Mingyang’s expression darkened. It was clear that this giant crow was a demon, and its strength was on par with his.

“Su Yao, how dare you consort with demons! You deserve a thousand deaths!” Zhao Mingyang’s desire to kill Su Yao intensified. “Do you really think one crow demon is enough to protect you?”

As he spoke, three other Zhao family elders surrounded Su Yao. All three were at the peak of the Qi Refining stage. Together, they were more than capable of holding their own against a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The Spirit Crow could only hold off Zhao Mingyang.

“You say I consort with demons? Then so be it,” Su Yao said with a smile. “But who said I only consort with one demon?”

Before her words even faded, the air was filled with the sound of cawing.

Gaaah! Gaaah! Gaaah!

Nine more Spirit Crows appeared. The faces of the Zhao family members turned pale with fear.

“Su Yao,” Zhao Mingyang’s voice trembled. “Today’s actions were orchestrated by Yang Yuan. The Zhao family was merely following orders…” In his heart, he swore to expose Su Yao’s dealings with demons to Green Hills Mansion if he survived this.

Slash!

Unfazed, Su Yao thrust her sword through Zhao Mingyang’s throat. His body went rigid, and a Spirit Crow’s talon pierced his heart.

Not far away, Zhao Mingzhu collapsed to the ground, trembling with terror. Su Yao showed no mercy, swiftly ending Zhao Mingzhu’s life with a single strike.

The remaining Zhao family members fared no better. The Spirit Crows showed them no mercy, and within moments, all of them were slaughtered.

With the Zhao family members dead, Su Yao felt a sense of clarity. The Zhao family had many enemies, and now that they had been weakened, those enemies would seize the opportunity to attack. For the foreseeable future, the Zhao family would be too preoccupied to bother her.

Without delay, Su Yao began to loot the battlefield.

“A magic hammer and a hundred spirit stones,” she murmured, pleased with her haul. Both the hammer and the spirit stones were valuable treasures.

“Time to head to the Violet Sun Sect,” she said, setting off once more.

Half a day later, Su Yao arrived at the Violet Sun Sect.

“Sister Yao,” Su Luo was already waiting for her outside the sect. Together, they entered the sect, and along the way, Su Yao noticed how respectful people were toward Su Luo.

“It seems you’re doing well here,” Su Yao said with a smile. “That puts my mind at ease.”

“They’re respectful because they know my sister is a prodigy at Green Hills Mansion,” Su Luo said proudly. Su Yao’s growing reputation brought her pride as well.

They reached Su Luo’s residence, and once they were alone, Su Yao got straight to the point. “What’s the situation with the three drops of Azure Dragon Blood?”

“The blood is in the hands of the Fifth Elder,” Su Luo replied. “He agreed to trade them for ninety spirit stones, though I think there’s room to negotiate…”

“No need to negotiate,” Su Yao interrupted. “Get the blood as soon as possible. I don’t want any complications.”

She handed Su Luo the ninety spirit stones. Su Luo took the stones and left, returning an hour later with a small bottle in hand.

Su Yao opened the bottle to find three drops of Azure Dragon Blood inside. She felt a sense of disbelief. If she hadn’t known these were the blood of the Azure Dragon, she might not have thought much of it. But knowing their true nature, she couldn’t believe she had obtained them for just ninety spirit stones.

“Su Luo, this blood is extremely important. I’m heading back to the Misty Forbidden Zone immediately,” Su Yao said.

“Alright,” Su Luo nodded.
