Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up

The two hands generated a powerful shock wave, causing a tremor on the ground, awakening more wooden men. They stretched their limbs, each one staring at Zhao Yi, who let out a cold laugh upon seeing the situation.

"I never dreamed that one day I'd be attacked by these wooden things. But it seems apart from their speed, they don't have any special abilities."

While dodging the attacks of these wooden men, Zhao Yi communicated with the Nine Dragon Jade Seal, but the Jade Seal remained silent. Its true form on Zhao Yi's shoulder constantly looked around, vigilantly watching the surroundings.

Guarding against the wooden men launching a sneak attack from Zhao Yi's blind spots.

The battle between both sides grew increasingly fierce. The speed of the wooden men accelerated, and their numbers multiplied.

For a moment in the forest, the sound of breaking wind echoed continuously. Many wooden men were shattered by Zhao Yi, yet these wooden men seemed completely unaware.

They only knew to relentlessly charge at Zhao Yi, and their methods were very simple.

Zhao Yi realized that if this continued, he would surely be exhausted by these guys. Even if not killed, he would consume a lot of energy. Heaven knows how many wooden men were in this forest.

Thus, he decided to cast magic to deal with the wooden men all at once. While dodging their attacks, he changed hand seals.

Suddenly, numerous fireballs appeared around him, forming a fire net that protected Zhao Yi, while constantly spreading outwards.

The wooden men were very afraid of fire. Upon seeing the fire net, they retreated. However, some clever wooden men jumped over, ready to attack Zhao Yi from above.

But Zhao Yi was prepared. Before these wooden men even landed, they were directly consumed by the Fire Dragon released from Zhao Yi's hand. The Fire Dragon hovered in the air, catching all the attacking wooden men.

As the flames grew larger, the wooden men gradually dispersed, and the surroundings began to calm down, which allowed Zhao Yi to breathe a sigh of relief.

"I really don't know whether these wooden men awakened by themselves or are being controlled by someone. If they are being controlled, where is that bastard?"

Just as Zhao Yi finished speaking, an elderly voice echoed in the sky.

"I honestly didn't expect you to be able to withstand these guys for so long.

I also didn't expect you to know magic. I originally thought you only understood some Power of Laws."

"Old man, if you have the skills, come out for a face-to-face confrontation. If not, there's no need to speak. I despise people who skulk and hide."

"If you have the skills, then force me out or find me. If not, then stop trying to fool me here."

The opponent was experienced and didn't follow Zhao Yi's line of thinking. Instead, Zhao Yi found it intriguing and said with a chuckle.

"I didn't expect you, sir, to be quite clever, understanding the ways to counterattack. But rest assured, I will find you. I'm very curious about the situation with those wooden men."

"Actually, you had already guessed before. These were all those who failed the challenge, and they eventually became wooden men, my puppets.

But you might not have thought of one thing: they actually have consciousness and thoughts. They just cannot speak.

In essence, they were killed by you alive."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi was furious. He despised those who manipulated others' lives.

However, Zhao Yi knew well that in such a place, anger would kill him and have no other positive value, so he quickly calmed down and then said.

"Before coming to Wuyuan, I thought it was a wonderful place. But upon arrival, I discovered.

The foulness of this place is far greater than I imagined. Its shamelessness has truly crossed the line.

I simply don't understand why the origin has decayed to such an extent?"

"What's so perplexing about it? If this place wasn't rotted to this extent, this cosmos wouldn't be perishing, nor would you have the opportunity to become the new rulers.

Any entity dies off exactly because its roots have rotted. You understand what I mean, right?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yi nodded and said with a chuckle.

"I have asked this question within the origin as well, and others have answered me. But among all the responses,

Yours is the most genuine, objective, and precise, and I really like it."

Zhao Yi initially thought the other party would continue speaking with him so he could locate them, but to his surprise, after this conversation.

No more voices came from the sky, leaving Zhao Yi puzzled. Meanwhile, the Nine Dragon Jade Seal also began cursing. He originally thought.

That provoking the other party would make them continue speaking. Regardless of how much he cursed or what he said, there was no response from the sky.

After a quarter of an hour, the Nine Dragon Jade Seal completely gave up, saying angrily.

"I did not expect this guy to be so powerful and cunning. He can even endure my cursing, which is truly admirable."

"Yes, you're not good at much else, but you're top-notch at cursing, even better than I am. But let's not waste words here.

Let's take a chance to rest and recover our strength."

After Zhao Yi finished speaking, he looked around, found a sturdy tree, and went directly up to its crown.

He felt that being in the crown should be slightly safer than on the ground.

After arriving there, Zhao Yi calmed his mood, and only then did he notice that the back of his hand had a cut from those wooden men.

However, the cut wasn't very large, only oozing a little blood, so Zhao Yi didn't play much mind to it.

He began to meditate, and after a night of rest, by the next morning, Zhao Yi felt much of his strength had returned, preparing to descend the tree.

However, as he was getting down, he suddenly noticed that the wound on his hand hadn't healed. Instead, a bit of wood had grown there, which shocked Zhao Yi.

He originally thought he was seeing things, but when he tried to pull away the wood, a sharp pain shot through him.

At this moment, the elderly voice echoed from the sky once more.

"It seems you've discovered it. Yes, once your wound is cut by those wooden men, my Law of Wood will take effect on you.

It will slowly spread over you, and the more wounds you have, the quicker you'll transform into a wooden man.

Of course, you only have one wound right now, so you don't need to worry too much. You have ten days to consider whether or not to submit to me."
