"If this continues, I will be pushed into a corner without any way to defend myself at all!" Long Feng is wrecking his brain to find a solution for this problem, but no matter how, he failed to obtain a solution to this problem before him. This opponent is not only capable of turning the special elemental trait within the plant into his own strength, in the same time, his opponent is stronger than anything he ever faces before!
"Would depending on Pill Concoction Battle will reap more benefit?" Long Feng begins to change his way of fighting and became totally depending on the Battle Concoction to do his bidding. "Element Dispersing Powder!" Long Feng immediately spreads a number element disturbance concoction around him so he could cause a disturbance on the enemy battle capability. Minorous get annoyed with such small petty tricks, as he tried to create a gust to blow away all the disturbance powder.
But Long Feng did not stop there. Instead of allowing the powder clouds to be blown away, he utilized his own Wind Elemental to create a soft gust, to redirect the powder back to where the two of them stands. As his action started to create an annoyance towards Minorous, the beast soon gets impatient and begin to make its move. "Human, Despicable!" Minorous take a few large steps as it charges over to where Long Feng stands.
"Sealing Pill." Long Feng toss a few Sealing Pill to disturb the movement of the beast. Although the created Sealing Sphere does not manage to stop the beast from charging towards where Long Feng stands, from the slight disturbance it causes, the momentum Minorous build, slowly get dissipated from those small actions. Even if Minorous managed to get close to Long Feng, the initial destructive strength at least reduced to more than half, as there is no longer any momentum is built along the way.
But Long Feng did not stop there. The moment two of the Sealing Sphere is shattered from those raw strengths, the Vermilion Lord Pill that was hidden within the sphere explodes. With its both leg got blasted into burnt vines, its movement becomes sluggish for a moment, as the cage on its chest started to shifted into another kind of plants. "Oh god please tell me that is not going to be anything like what I'm thinking..." Long Feng prayed for not being treated with such a bad luck, as he takes a good look at the plants next appearing on the Minorous chest.
"Oh, Shit!" Long Feng curse as he finally noticed that the plant appears in its chest. It was a [Brittle Green Wood], a special ingredient that is well sought after for its special healing properties hidden within the trunks. With this young growing, the whole plant is within its chest, the healing properties are going to be at least 5 to 10 times stronger compared to a single piece of processed wood! Long Feng fear begin to get thicker, as he sees the burnt part on Minorous's leg started to heal and become even thicker.
"Limb Prisoning Concoction!" Long Feng abuse the concoction in his hand and throws as much he could lock his opponent from taking another step. Looking at his opponent condition, Long Feng push his Red Fire Stage foundation to its limit once again and shoot the beam of fire after it had been refined in the White Stone Pill Cauldron towards Minorous once again.
But the beast totally defended against the burning flame once again. Or not.
"Eh! His both horn is burnt and slowly spreading down to his skull." Long Feng noticed the small ember that stills lit on both of Minorous's horn. He charged his Flame again, and fire another few consecutive beam towards the beast. Minorous was angered from being trapped by Long Feng, and as it finally managed to destroy the restrictions, it charges towards Long Feng with the aim to thoroughly destroy the target! A heavy punch is delivered!

Too bad, it was a pointless effort. The ember that was lit by Long Feng as he fires a few more Flame Beam, managed to cause some internal destructive effect towards the Minorous body. The beast started to get slightly weaker as its body started to slowly burn like a piece of charcoal. The heat created within its body started to create a side effect where those vines and roots that form the beast body begin to loosen, and in effect of that, Minorous couldn't even walk properly, never to mention about trying to give Long Feng a light punch.
Minorous stopped moving. Instead, it tried to look for a suitable plant that would help to remove the ember that slowly burns its body. "Second Seal, Soul Sealing Net!" Long Feng pointed the Sky Sealing Formation Net towards Minorous and a needle is fired towards the chest. As the needle pierces into the cage between Minorous's chest, a net in a very weird diagram appears within, forcing all the plant to be unable to perform within the cage.
"NO!!" the beast howls in agony, as its body begin to burn faster. Without the protection of the plants within its chest, Minorous is nothing but a normal Wooden Beast with a slightly bigger body. The liquid started to flow out from its eyes, making the beast seems like crying for help, and it slowly crawls back to where it came from. The sight that seems so pitiful to everyone is played before Long Feng's eyes as he takes no action.
"This is respect. This is nothing but the path of a life when they walk through. No matter you are alive, dead, or struggling to continues, you will not pity your enemies, or allow your enemies to pity you. This is a path that if you wish to thread past, you will have to bear in mind!" Long Feng looked at the beast that looks so pitiful at the moment, and as he pointed the Cauldron towards the beast and prepare to fire the final shot.
But everything changed within that moment. The Void Space vanished, leaving Long Feng mind returned to where he was standing before, holding Nan Jing Jing's hand as they walk. It felts like nothing had happened at all, it is all his imagination. "What just happened? It felt so real, that I was fighting with the Wooden Beast Minorous!" Long Feng mind felt like a blank for a moment because of what just happened, but Nan Jing Jing came with a word as he sees his "blur" husband.
"Husband, see the Saint Tree, a figure actually appears at its trunk, as if it is trying to come out from the tree." Nan Jing Jing pointed at the changes just happened on the Saint Tree, as the figure actually appears to be Minorous, the opponent he just fought to death a while ago within his mind! Since what happened within his mind is indescribable, Long Feng chose to not be bothered with it and decided to continues with his journey.
It seems like the fifth sun is almost over as well, with the sixth sun is coming up. He should be making their way over to the Missing Woods, a location where none of the disciples is heard to be located there. Since Huang Ying and Yue Ying had decided to make their trip over to the Foundation Woods, Long Feng felt that it would be the best for him to proceed to the Missing Woods, and see what treasure is actually hidden over here.
Taking his own sweet time to travel and harvesting precious ingredients, Long Feng, Nan Jing Jing, and Gou Yu actually took the whole Sixth Sun period to reach Missing Woods. Along with their way, Long Feng manage to found his luck once again, as he not only managed to harvest quite a good haul of Ingredients, he even managed to obtained a new seed that could be mature within the Longevity Soil Ring. He did not forget the possibility of repairing his treasure, but there might be a while more to go before he could refine the [Spirit Recollection Seed] from the Brown Crystal Beads.
The trio soon reached the location where Missing Woods Settlement is built, but they have no idea at all, that the Missing Woods Settlement, had totally turned into a settlement reside by all Metamorphosis Tribesmen!
