Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 766 - 395: Dead City_2
"Fortunately, Yunhai City has long been plagued by Sea Tribe invasions. The City Lord and Old Master Huang planned ahead and built this underground shelter. Without it, who knows how many would have died." Huang Guard remarked.
After hearing this, Lu Yu finally understood that this underground shelter was constructed to fend off the Sea Tribe, but it ended up being used for this disaster instead.
Lu Yu then thought of something else: the main body of these undead vines is underground, isn't it more dangerous here?
Lu Yu asked this question, and Huang Guard answered: "We're lucky to have the lady's talismans. As long as we stick them on, those damned things can't find us."
"But we still have to be careful not to make too much noise; otherwise, even with the talisman, those cursed things will come."
Lu Yu recalled something, feeling a bit uneasy. Before coming in, he had made a grand entrance into Yunhai City.
Yet he encountered little attack. Looking at it now, the enemy might be laying a trap.
"Not good!" A warning echoed in Lu Yu's mind.
Suddenly, screams echoed from the distant corridor, followed by a loud crash as a large section of the ground was torn open, letting light flood into the underground area. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Having been underground for so long, everyone was unaccustomed to the sudden light and raised their arms to shield their eyes.
"Damn!" Lu Yu moved swiftly, disappearing from his spot and reappearing at the gap, where undead vines danced wildly around him, fire flashing in his eyes.
The barrier of red holy flame unfurled, turning the world into a fiery red realm, as if both the ground and sky were ablaze.
"The flames won't harm humans!"
While soul power was consumed, the raging flames avoided humans, igniting the surrounding undead vines.
Boom, boom, boom~ People who fell among the blackened ashes stared blankly at the surrounding flames, wanting to move but fearing being burned to death.
Seeing the flames wouldn't hurt them, one brave soul dashed out of the inferno toward safety, prompting others to follow suit, fleeing toward safety.
Despite this, many were still caught by the undead vines, having all of their qi blood drained and dying.
Boom! The ground swelled, and with a loud explosion, a three to four meter thick purple-red vine erupted, its tip crowned with a flower.
The flower at the vine's tip drooped down like a snake's head towards Lu Yu, opening its tightly wrapped petals.
A person emerged in the flower's center... or rather, half a person, as only the upper body existed, connected to the flower below.
Upon seeing the person's face, Lu Yu was momentarily stunned; he recognized this person.
"Lu Yu!" The figure within the undead demon flower looked at Lu Yu and called his name with a twisted expression.
If it weren't for Lu Yu, he wouldn't have become this ghastly figure; yes, he was He Yichao.
Lu Yu remembered him because he once tried to kidnap Hai Wei but did not succeed.
Moreover, he did something foolish in Yunhai City.
He Yichao hated Lu Yu deeply; he knew that Zhang Song turned back to blame the He family because Lu Yu had become the Saint Heir of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.
Zhang Song wanted to curry favor with Lu Yu, so he came to Yunhai City to act against the He family.
As a result, he encountered Venerable White Bone, died in battle, which led to Yunhai City turning into this state, and He Yichao ended up like this.
Honestly, he didn't mind his current condition because now he felt unprecedented power.
Not long ago, he had fought a strong opponent he wouldn't have dared dream of confronting before... although he lost instantly, the power he now possessed was beyond his imagination.
Regarding Lu Yu, even though Lu Yu was the Saint Heir of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, He Yichao felt no fear.
Because he knew his current strength was comparable to a Martial Cultivator of the Separation Realm, with the additional feature of being undead and immortal.
As long as the undead demon flower lived, he couldn't die, able to resurrect infinitely.
And Lu Yu, the last time he saw him in Yunhai City, was just a Martial Cultivator of the Qi Empowerment Realm.
Even now, a mere two years later, though Lu Yu was the Saint Heir of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, he could be at most in the Qi Sea Realm, no match for him.
He Yichao, full of confidence, advanced, driven by the undead demon flower toward Lu Yu, launching a savage punch at Lu Yu's face, wanting to shame the Divine Weapon Pavilion's Saint Heir by making him suffer his pain.
He advanced... and was instantly defeated.
Bang! He Yichao watched his body shatter into pieces, scattered everywhere, bewildered; what just happened?
Lu Yu withdrew his fist, looking slightly surprised... He Yichao was much more fragile than he had expected, crumbling like a porcelain doll under a single punch with hardly any strength applied.
He had sensed immense power within He Yichao and thought he was strong, but he turned out to be nothing more than a weakling.
A weakling he obliterated with one punch.
He Yichao's shredded flesh fell to the ground, quickly turning into withered branches. His consciousness returned to the root of the undead demon flower, and his body emerged anew from within the flower.
Surrounding him were masses of undead demon flowers, some closed, others opened, but all sharing one characteristic: their upper bodies were human while their lower bodies were flowered.
