Chapter 1309 The Secret of the Lost Forest

"Jin Tong, don't move!" Zhou Ran shouted.

"Why?" Jin Tong couldn't understand, "Zhou Ran, if the two of us work together, we will definitely be able to defeat him quickly. He is only at the peak of the Celestial Immortal!"

As Jin Tong said, Zhou Ran's strength is enough to fight Bai Yu on equal terms. With the addition of a late Celestial Immortal, he can naturally resolve the battle in a short time.

But Zhou Ran's idea is not like that.

"The last time I fought with this guy, I won with the help of my companions. This guy must be indignant! So this time, I will give him a one-on-one competition. Life and death are determined by fate. No matter who kills who, they will not regret it!"

Zhou Ran's words made Jin Tong speechless.

However, since it was Zhou Ran's intention, it was not good to interfere too much. Jin Tong could only nod reluctantly.

"Zhou Ran, I understand. You fight with this guy. I will just stand by and watch. I will not participate."

As he said, Jin Tong turned into a human form again.

Without the need to fight, there is no need to maintain the form of the dragon race. Since the rain around him was too heavy, Jin Tong could not help but use the immortal shield, which formed a wall around his body, preventing the rain from falling on him.

Seeing that Jin Tong, the dragon warrior, did not participate in the battle, Bai Yu also smiled and said, "Zhou Ran, you are quite generous. You didn't even borrow the power of the dragon race. Can you really defeat me like this?"

"Who wins or loses, I don't have the final say with you, only the result counts!"

Zhou Ran said resolutely, and he took a stance.

Bai Yu hated Zhou Ran to the bone, so naturally he would not show mercy to Zhou Ran. Since both sides were ready, he rushed towards Zhou Ran.

Like a human-shaped cannonball, he drew a water mark in the pouring rain, but when Bai Yu approached Zhou Ran, his body disappeared, and only the water mark remained.

Zhou Ran did not dare to neglect it, and held the Jade Blood Sword across his chest to block the attack of the water mark.

There was a loud bang, and Zhou Ran's body retreated several steps.

It is impolite not to return the favor. Since Bai Yu challenged him, Zhou Ran would not be polite.

The Jade Blood Sword was swung, and sword energy cut through the rain and went towards Bai Yu.

Bai Yu's body could turn into rain, but he could not ignore Zhou Ran's sword energy. A wall of rain formed in front of Bai Yu's body, like a huge shield, to resist Zhou Ran's sword energy attack.

The sharp sword energy was absorbed by the water wall. Although it penetrated the water wall, it was already the end of its strength and could no longer cause harm to Bai Yu.

"Not bad! Your injuries are completely healed!"

Bai Yu sneered. Just from the power of Zhou Ran's sword energy, he could be sure that Zhou Ran's injuries in the last battle had healed.

Zhou Ran, who was seriously injured and recovered, also had a stronger fighting power than the last time.

Bai Yu once again gathered strength, and a water sword appeared in his hand. Although it was made of water, its hardness was not inferior to Zhou Ran's Jade Blood Sword.

The two divine weapons collided with each other, and bursts of sparks burst out.

The entire Mi Zong Lin trembled, as if in awe of the two people's power.

The heavy rain like a flood did not wash away the trees in the forest, but when Zhou Ran and Bai Yu fought hand to hand, one sword intent after another burst out and came to the surrounding trees.

These trees could no longer escape, and all turned into sawdust.

But when the trees were destroyed, they were able to recover in the first time, as if they had never been chopped.

The only spectator of the battle between Zhou Ran and Bai Yu was Jin Tong.

Jin Tong looked at all this in surprise. The two of them actually used unimaginable powerful forces. .

In comparison, Zhou Ran was more surprising.

One was in the early stage of the celestial fairy, and the other was at the peak of the celestial fairy. They were able to fight to a draw, evenly matched.

This was also the first time that Jin Tong witnessed Zhou Ran's fighting style. No wonder Zhou Ran was feared by the Temple. He really had the qualifications of a strong man.

Jin Tong also sighed for the trees in the Lost Forest.

These trees have a strong regeneration ability, far beyond all creatures.

Zhou Ran and Bai Yu fought for a while, and then both of them pulled away.

Next, there will be a more brutal battle.

But before that, Bai Yu noticed the trees in the Lost Forest.

"It's really interesting that we fought here and didn't destroy this forest. This is the first time I've seen trees with such strong regeneration ability, but unfortunately, I'm not interested in these trees! What I'm most interested in is why this place has become the direct territory of the Temple!"

Bai Yu said a few words and was ready to fight Zhou Ran again.

Zhou Ran smiled and said, "Don't you know why the Lost Forest became the direct territory of the Temple? Then I'll tell you!"

"Tell me? This is the absolute secret of the Temple, how could you know it?"

Bai Yu looked disdainful. How could Zhou Ran know something that even Elder Li Xiong didn't know?

"It's a very simple reason. Although it's a secret, it's not difficult to guess."

Zhou Ran's mouth curled up, revealing a smug attitude.

"Do you really know?"

Bai Yu was skeptical, and Jin Tong beside him also heard Zhou Ran's words.

I didn't expect Zhou Ran to have time to chat with the enemy during the battle, but Jin Tong was also very interested, after all, it was what Zhou Ran was about to say but didn't say.

Why did the Lost Forest become the direct territory of the Temple, and what secrets does this forest hide?

Bai Yu temporarily gave up the idea of ​​attacking Zhou Ran and said, "Zhou Ran, tell me what you have to say! After that, I will kill you."

Zhou Ran did not hide anything and said directly, "It's very simple. The trees here can replace the existence of the God Tree and the Black Tree!"

"The God Tree and the Black Tree?"

Bai Yu was stunned. He only knew the God Tree, but not the Black Tree.

Zhou Ran said again, "Those are the two most noble trees in the Immortal Realm, and they are also the origin of the Immortal Realm! The Temple has always tried to control the God Tree and the Black Tree, but the tree hearts of the two trees are unruly, so the Temple plans to find a substitute! Although the trees in the Lost Forest are sparse and ordinary, they have a strong regeneration ability, which is unmatched by the God Tree and the Black Tree. The Temple is thinking that one day, the trees in the Lost Forest will replace the God Tree and the Black Tree, so this forest will be included in the Temple's direct territory!"

"That's it."

Bai Yu suddenly realized that the reason why the Temple did this was so simple.

Jin Tong also took a breath of cold air. The truth really had nothing to do with the location of the Dragon Tomb.

The Temple really wanted to control everything and would not allow any uncontrollable power to appear in the Immortal Realm. Even if it really existed, they had to prepare for it in advance.
