Chapter 859: Blood Devil Vine and Immortal Dead Tree



Chapter 859: Blood Devil Vine and Immortal Dead Tree

The blood devil vine was an extremely rare type of devilish plant capable of growing countless vines from its main body. The eyes on each vine could emanate a thick devilish aura that was not only corrosive but also poisonous. Furthermore, the vine itself was extremely tough.

This particular plant had survived for tens of thousands of years, and it was at least a peak Devil Sovereign. Regular sovereign weapons would have a hard time cutting off one of its vines. In other words, if the disciples wanted to deal with it, regular weapons and combat strength would not be enough.

The immortal dead tree was an odd tree from ancient times. Any of its branches had the characteristics of immortality. The moment a branch encountered life force, instead of growing with green buds and leaves like regular trees, it would start growing immortal branches devoid of life force.

These branches were comparable with the best of weapons. If one could collect some of them, forging top-tier sovereign weapons from them was a real possibility. And if one was struck by one of these branches, one\'s life force would be immediately drained away, causing a cultivator\'s vitality to be negatively affected.

Both plants were highly unusual and sinister. Having them as the guardians was the same as making things difficult for these disciples. Some of the more confident disciples charged ahead, disregarding what happened to those before them. Fully armed, they pushed forth with all their might in an attempt to pave a path of blood through the guardians.

However, when their attacks touched the vines, they failed to cause any damage. Instead, the vines erupted with clumps of highly poisonous toxins and started sweeping everywhere. It was as though a super expert was attacking, catching the charging disciples by complete surprise.

"Ahhhh!"

The many disciples wailed in pain. Some were directly smashed into pulp before they could even crush their protective jades. When the others saw, they finally stopped their charge. Nobody dared to move rashly anymore. Terrifying devilish plants like these definitely couldn\'t be dealt with by only a few disciples.

"I think we should work together and take out these plants before anything else," Baili Yixiao proposed.

"Brothers and sisters of the Crushing Sky, with me!" Zhan Wushuang commanded without as much as acknowledging Baili Yixiao\'s suggestion. Leading his own people, he started pushing toward the immortal dead tree.

He planned to create a point of breakthrough from his current position. Yu Ziyang did not delay either. He gathered the Flaming Sun and charged toward the blood devil vine from a different direction. The Royal Army naturally followed alongside them.

As for Lei Bao\'s group, despite their smaller numbers, they had the arrogance of being members of the local faction. Thus, they also disdained working with others. They too charged from a different direction.

"Overlord, let\'s go as well!" Tang Longfei said.

"Um. Follow my lead. We\'ll be charging from this direction," said Xiang Shaoyun.

The entire crack between the mountain was occupied by the blood devil vine and immortal dead tree. Whichever direction the disciples charged from, they would need to face the two devilish plants\' attacks. How far they could go would depend on how capable they were.

Rumble! Rumble!

Attacks rained down at the two plants, each with a strength to crush mountains. However, the two plants were no ordinary plants. They were extremely powerful, sweeping everywhere with their vines and branches, blocking the numerous incoming attacks. The two even had the time to either entangle the disciples or send them flying.

This was most certainly a difficult charge for the disciples. Some of them were forced to crush their protective jades and withdraw after getting tangled in the vines, but some managed to break through.

The first to break through was none other than Zhan Wushuang. His domineering fists forced the branches to retreat again and again. In the most barbaric manner, he forced his way through.

Baili Yixiao was naturally not going to fall behind others. With a sword in hand, he severed vine after vine, his sword dancing amid whatever opening he found amid the plants, advancing in an extremely clean manner.

As for Yu Ziyang, using the power of flame, he transformed into a bright sun that created a path of flame as he burned his way through.

Huang Tianji wasn\'t any slower than the others. Wielding a top-quality spear, he swept the plants aside and found his own way through.

Apart from these freaks, about a dozen disciples who had always maintained a low profile also unleashed their true strength and broke through.

Meanwhile, Xiang Shaoyun was still working with the Overlord Legion people to deal with the vines in their way. In truth, with his speed, he could very well charge in before anyone else. But he did not do so since he needed to take care of his people, protecting them from any fatal injuries.

"Overlord, ignore us and go through yourself!" someone shouted.

The others also started saying the same thing.

Xiang Shaoyun\'s brain raced as he said, "I\'ll send the 10 strongest among you through. As for the others, you\'ll have to rely on yourself."

He grabbed Tang Longfei\'s arm and transformed into a gust of wind as he traveled through the openings among the vines. He was able to cleanly avoid all the vines and the poisonous gas as he danced amid the forest of vines.

After getting through the outer perimeter of vines, he stopped advancing and said, "Big Brother Tang, there are still dangers ahead of us. Take care!"

He then tossed Tang Longfei downward into the gorge. The Overlord Legion members who were watching were completely dumbstruck. They had never imagined that Xiang Shaoyun would bring someone through just like that.

One ought to know that it was extremely difficult for any of them to get through. The difficulty was even higher if one wished to act like Xiang Shaoyun and bring someone through, and yet Xiang Shaoyun had accomplished it so easily. It was quite an eye-opener.

Soon, Xiang Shaoyun appeared outside again and grabbed Xuan Yuantian before diving into the midst of the vines again. Xuan Yuantian had not expected that he would be one of the 10 chosen. A sense of shame welled in his heart since he had looked down upon the overlord.

Before he could even recover from his thoughts, he was already brought through the outer perimeter. Xiang Shaoyun vanished again after leaving behind the words, "Take care, brother."

Xuan Yuantian was immediately filled with battle intent as he roared, "I will make the Overlord Legion proud!"

Traveling back and forth, Xiang Shaoyun brought the strongest members of the Overlord Legion through.

But when bringing the last person through, Xiang Shaoyun made a lapse of judgment and caused Yuan Xuefen to be struck by the poisonous gas. If she hadn\'t been able to move away in time, things would not have ended well for her.

During the moment of crisis, Xiang Shaoyun stood behind her and pushed her through the opening amid the vines while he himself was swallowed by a cloud of poison.

"Overlord!"
