Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 769 - 396: Kiss_2

The lightning struck, effortlessly cutting through the undead vines that rose up. The vast array of undead vines was obliterated by the lightning, yet He Yichao's face showed no trace of panic.

The undead vines continued to surge out endlessly, but the thunderclouds in the sky gradually dissipated. Huang Ying's face also showed a hint of spiritual power depletion.

Activating the talisman had consumed a lot of her spiritual power, and even though she was already a Core Formation Realm martial cultivator, she felt quite exhausted.

The most critical issue was that she had very few talismans left.

Without talismans, she couldn't possibly withstand He Yichao's attacks.

He Yichao did not rush in recklessly because he knew she held a trump card that could threaten him and wanted to deplete Huang Ying's strength and trump card from a distance before capturing her in one fell swoop.

Bang~ Suddenly, a slight explosion sounded from not far away.

More than a dozen spatial rifts cut the crystal vine-formed purple-red grassy clump into pieces, freeing the trapped Li Qiuyang.

A flash of sword light, and Lu Yu felt the world brighten for a moment, and then saw crystal powder scattering all over the sky.

Li Qiuyang, wielding his divine weapon, broke free.

Li Qiuyang excelled in attack; his Godslaying Sword Technique could slay even martial cultivators of the same level in one strike.

But his defense was inversely proportional to his offensive power. Pursuing the Heart Sword Technique, Li Qiuyang's defense was strong against mental and soul attacks but weak in other aspects.

However, he rarely found himself in situations where defense was needed.

This time was different; encountering the Venerable White Bone, the Godslaying Sword Technique was ineffective, and his mighty attack power was useless against the infinitely reviving Venerable White Bone.

That's why Li Qiuyang was trapped by Venerable White Bone.

Though Venerable White Bone might not have been stronger than Li Qiuyang, his abilities completely restrained him.

Bang~ Huang Ying was sent flying, crashing into the ruins of a building. Lu Yu, seeing this, was about to act in retaliation when Li Qiuyang moved first.

Whish~ Lu Yu did not see Li Qiuyang draw his sword; all he saw was that all the undead vines in front of him were shredded into pieces smaller than dust.

Li Qiuyang walked to Lu Yu's side, paused for a moment, then said, "You protect them well, I'll go settle things with Venerable White Bone."

He changed his swordsmanship; since these undead vines had no soul, his Heart Sword Technique was ineffective, so he used the most ordinary and purest swordsmanship to take their lives. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

The undead vines, shredded into powder, did not revive. Each cell had been sliced by Li Qiuyang's sword.

He Yichao resurrected inside the underground undead demonic flower, his eyes showing fear. He had seen it, every inch of himself shredded by the sword light, the feeling of which terrified him.

"How did that elder of the Divine Weapon Pavilion come out?" someone shouted.

"No worries, the demon lord is even stronger now. He wasn't a match for the demon lord before, and he certainly isn't now!" someone confidently said, observing the growing aura of the demon lord.

Around them, one undead vine after another sent devoured flesh, bones, spiritual qi, qi blood... into the crystal vine throne beneath the demon lord.

The aura of the demon lord continuously strengthened as these nutrients flowed in.

Underground, the nutrient-supplying undead vine channels were densely packed, numbering at least a thousand. Even if each undead vine consumed one person, a thousand people were killed in an instant.

...

Lu Yu watched as Li Qiuyang disappeared, quickly running to the spot where Huang Ying had fallen, finding her with spiritual power almost exhausted.

"Senior Sister, are you hurt?" Lu Yu felt awkward directly using perception to scan Huang Ying, given the propriety of gender.

Huang Ying groaned and tried to get up. Lu Yu hurriedly assisted her. She dusted off the dirt and said, "I'm okay, not injured. Where's Master?"

"Master went to find the culprit. You should replenish your spiritual power first. Master wants us to protect the residents of Yunhai City." Lu Yu took out a Spirit Pill and handed it to Huang Ying.

At times like this, taking pills restores spiritual power much faster than eating a Spirit Fruit.

Huang Ying took the pill from Lu Yu without a second thought and swallowed it straight. As she felt the spiritual power quickly replenishing her dantian, she was somewhat surprised that Lu Yu gave her such a good pill, but she said nothing.

Hearing the continuous screams from afar, Huang Ying quickly said, "Junior Brother, let's split up. You go that way, and I'll go this way."

Lu Yu glanced at Huang Ying, nodded, and slipped two bottles into her hand, one containing spiritual power recovery pills, the other healing elixirs.

Huang Ying did not refuse; caught in Yunhai City without reinforcements, her supplies were nearly depleted. Now was no time for courtesy.

The two of them set off separately.

Lu Yu hadn't flown far when he saw humans being pursued by undead vines. The vines coiled around someone, and their body withered at a pace visible to the naked eye, with qi blood and spiritual qi thoroughly devoured.

Finally, even the residue of the corpse was vacuumed away by the undead vines like a vacuum cleaner.

"No wonder I can't see a single corpse. These undead vines eat even the bodies," Lu Yu thought.

However, he also had a question: the undead vines he had seen before were never like this; they would only devour qi blood and spiritual qi, parasitizing the body but would not consume corpses.

What mutation had occurred with the undead vines and undead demonic flowers? Lu Yu contemplated.

Not far away, a girl suddenly emerged from under the house, with nearby undead vines closing in. Lu Yu waved a hand, a fireball shot out like a meteor, burning all the surrounding undead vines to ashes.
