Root Cutting Kindness

Cheng Xiu cut at the roots of the screaming Demonic Treeman that leapt at her.

The gilded sword went through the creature's roots the way that a hot knife would go through butter.

The creature screamed in pain.

Cheng Xiu kicked it away when it neared her.

The creature fell off the branch that she was in.

Two others jumped at her one after the other.

Cheng Xiu raised her sword overhead, its tip pointing to the sky and brought the weapon down.

The creature split down the middle.

The monster behind it leapt at her through the gap between the cut off sides of the first one.

Cheng Xiu reacted with fast precision. She raised her sword and cut off the creature from the middle of its "Head", just as the cut off piece was reforming, she sat on her hind legs and slashed the root of the Treeman.

Both the creatures fell to the ground in a heap of wooden bodies and caught fire.
