The Sky-Charming Demon Vine has always been fond of devouring the flesh and blood of living beings. However, it never initiates attacks. Only when living creatures approach and pose a threat does the vine strike back. The skeletons within the desolate forest must have been killed by this very vine. When Ye Wushuang and Li Wenbo passed by, the vine’s proactive assault raised Ye Wushuang’s suspicions. Thus, he took the risk to descend and investigate.
Now it seems that the Sky-Charming Demon Vine does not wish to attack on its own accord. But… this bronze ding has been placed within it, siphoning off its vitality. To survive, it has no choice but to passively strike out, consuming the flesh and blood of living beings to nourish the ding!
Ye Wushuang kept recalling what Tai Shengzi had said. The Li Clan’s Li King’s Tripod, a royal-grade spiritual artifact. The Li Clan had discovered a method to elevate this ding to the heavenly royal grade, and thus employed an exceedingly sinister approach. Using the blood of living beings to nurture the ding?
Ye Wushuang gradually approached the Sky-Charming Demon Vine. Sensing Ye Wushuang’s formidable aura, the vine immediately launched an attack. Vines lashed out towards Ye Wushuang.
“Humph!”
At this moment, Ye Wushuang was even more fearless. The Sky-Charming Demon Vine, with the ding embedded in its core, could not unleash its true peak strength. Yet Ye Wushuang did not dare to be careless. Nine hundred strands of Tai Xu Sword Qi leaped out from within him. Having reached the ninth level of the Yuanfu realm, Ye Wushuang could now summon nine hundred strands of Tai Xu Sword Qi from the second layer of the Nine-Heavens Spirit-Subduing Pagoda!
Nine hundred strands of Tai Xu Sword Qi encircled Ye Wushuang, and an overwhelming aura soared into the sky. A terrifying force accompanied each strike of the Tianya Sword. The attacking tentacles were repeatedly severed by the sword qi, only to grow back again and again. However, as Ye Wushuang continued to cut them down, the speed at which the tentacles regrew became noticeably slower. Meanwhile, the bronze ding within the vine’s trunk continued to absorb the power of flesh and blood.
Clearly, the Sky-Charming Demon Vine was like a mighty tiger, but a tiger infested with parasites, its strength now limited and unable to withstand Ye Wushuang’s relentless assault. Over and over, Ye Wushuang, empowered by the might of the Tai Xu Sword Qi, struck out, while the vine continuously regenerated its tentacles to resist.
Finally…
The tentacles ceased to regrow. Ye Wushuang descended from the sky, unleashing a dozen sword strikes in quick succession, targeting the Sky-Charming Demon Vine. Boom, boom, boom… The vines and the trunk burst apart. The corpses that had been entangled also fell to the ground. The bronze ancient ding, however, remained steadfastly upright in the center of the trunk, unmoving.
Ye Wushuang did not rashly approach the ancient ding. Instead, he searched through the remains and corpses, collecting the tokens one by one. As the spirit points from the tokens were absorbed by Ye Wushuang, his own spirit points finally surpassed eight hundred thousand.
However, he was surprised to find that the spirit points on Du Mingyue, Feng Chengyu, and the others were so few. Yan Xuan and Gu Ruochen had tens of thousands of spirit points each, but these individuals had only two or three thousand.
Eight hundred thousand spirit points!
Ye Wushuang felt that, up to now, he should have the highest spirit points. But… it was far from enough! His goal was to be not just first, but to surpass the combined total of the next six by a wide margin.
Only after confirming that the Sky-Charming Demon Vine was truly dead did Ye Wushuang approach the bronze ancient ding to investigate. After examining it closely for a while, Ye Wushuang’s eyebrows raised slightly.
The ding stood on four legs, its body square and rectangular, emitting an ancient copper glow with faint, dull blood light flickering beneath. The ding, standing at one zhang tall, exuded an intensely oppressive aura!
As Ye Wushuang approached the ancient ding, he felt an overwhelming malevolent energy. Beneath one of the legs of the ding, he discovered a token. The square token bore two striking characters—Li Wang!
