“It’s a spiritual plant!”
A spiritual plant?
“Sky-Charming Demon Vine!”
Ye Wushuang explained directly, “It’s a type of vine-like spiritual plant that loves to devour flesh and blood.”
Hearing this, Li Wenbo shrank back and quickly moved closer to Ye Wushuang.
“Be careful!”
Ye Wushuang reiterated, “If you’re injured by the Sky-Charming Demon Vine, even just a tiny wound, you’ll be relentlessly pursued by it. Once you’re entangled, your flesh and blood will be completely drained.”
Li Wenbo immediately enveloped himself in layers of Tiangang energy, firmly protecting himself.
Boom, boom, boom…
At that moment, the ground cracked open again, and numerous vine tentacles lunged upward. Their targets were none other than Ye Wushuang and Li Wenbo.
With the Tianya Sword in hand, Ye Wushuang wasted no time and struck out aggressively. A terrifyingly sharp energy erupted, with sword qi slashing at the thick tentacles. The surface of those tentacles was covered with sharp spines, which were not only pointed but also gleamed with an eerie green light, constantly attacking the two of them.
While engaging with the vine tentacles, Ye Wushuang kept an eye on the cracks in the ground. After a while, he suddenly said, “Li Wenbo, protect yourself.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Wushuang unexpectedly stopped resisting and allowed the vines to wrap around him. The spines on the vines tried to pierce through Ye Wushuang’s body. However, now that Ye Wushuang had reached the ninth level of the Yuanfu realm, his internal energy was as powerful as Tiangang energy—extremely formidable!
Ye Wushuang surged his Yuanfu energy, which was imbued with thunder and fire, enveloping his body. The spines couldn’t penetrate his surface at all. But the vines, unwilling to give up on their captured prey, quickly retracted and pulled Ye Wushuang into an underground hole.
“Brother Ye…”
Li Wenbo was stunned.
The vines immediately retreated.
Standing by the pit, Li Wenbo lamented sorrowfully, “Brother Ye, you sacrificed yourself to save me… You’re… too righteous!”
With a grieving expression, Li Wenbo murmured, “If I had known you had such a selfless intention, I should have asked you for the Heavenly Fragrance Rain and a Golden Thunder Celestial Pill…”
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Ye Wushuang was pulled underground by the vines. As the vines quickly retracted, dust flew around. Ye Wushuang remained steady, using his energy to protect himself, preventing the vine spines from harming him in the slightest.
Boom…
Suddenly, the vines seemed to retreat back into the ground.
Ye Wushuang’s body was violently thrown out, tumbling to the ground. He quickly got up, gripping the Tianya Sword tightly, and scanned his surroundings.
This was an underground pit.
The pit was dimly lit, with only green light flickering around. At first glance, the pit was dozens of feet tall, and in the center, the main body of the Sky-Charming Demon Vine was fully exposed.
The main trunk of the Sky-Charming Demon Vine was ten feet tall and three feet thick. Unlike other spiritual trees and plants, its trunk was not solid but resembled a transparent jade rod.
As Ye Wushuang looked closely, he saw a bronze ding (an ancient Chinese cauldron) at the core of the trunk, glowing with an ancient copper light. The ding was one zhang (a traditional Chinese unit of length) tall, with a bronze glow flickering. The roots of the Sky-Charming Demon Vine were connected to this bronze ding, just like human blood vessels, all attached to the ding’s body. Moreover, the flesh and blood devoured by the vine’s tentacles were all gathered into the ding and absorbed by it.
The Li King’s Tripod!
Ye Wushuang was taken aback.
If what Tai Shengzi had said was true, then this ding might indeed be the Li King’s Tripod.
Ye Wushuang did not rush forward. He circled around the Sky-Charming Demon Vine and, on the other side, saw more than ten corpses.
“Du Mingyue… Feng Chengyu… Feng Yanran…”
Among them, three bodies were still intact, and Ye Wushuang recognized them at a glance. The other corpses had parts of their flesh already separated from their bones, sucked away by the vine’s tentacles.
The elites of the Tianyang Empire and the Gu Feng Empire had all… fallen!
Seeing this scene, Ye Wushuang instantly understood what had happened.
