The Old Monk spoke, then shook his head to reveal nine heads, opening his bloody mouth to bite down on King Li and the Divine Tree!
King Li raised his hand to grab, countless roots flew out, drilling into the Old Monk's nose, eyes, ears—frightfully described.
The Old Monk laughed heartily, approached closely, and in close combat, the roots almost tore the nine faces off the Old Monk, sending him flying away, while King Li landed, coughing blood, running wildly.
The Old Monk landed on the water, transforming into a nine-headed lion, charging at King Li.
King Li continued to run forward, countless root-like tendrils from the Divine Tree danced behind him, attacking the nine-headed lion, defending against the Daluo Treasure's assault. Though at times unable to resist, it was enough to save his life.
He drew closer to the Heavenly Court, a ray of hope rising in his heart.
