My Demon Husband Is a Snake-Chapter 884: Why Did You Only Come Now?

The blood and nutrients from Qing Li’s body were being drawn away by the suction cups on the vines.

The surface of these vines continuously surged, transporting this blood nourishment away, even emitting a low groan of pleasure, with the surface turning blood-colored due to the absorption.

In an instant, the veins on Qing Li’s ivory-white face all painfully bulged out.

"I’ll save you right away, immediately." I could sense a mysterious force in the attic that was weakening my Mysterious Art.

With a breath, I reluctantly performed the Seven-Star Golden Lotus Step.

Leaping onto a slowly creeping vine below.

Using this vine as a leverage point, I jumped further upwards to a new height.

Pulling out the Begonia Hairpin from my hair as I descended.

The Sharp Gold Aura from the flower hairpin was unstoppable, slicing downwards to cut the vines binding Qing Li.

Although my grandfather said it’s impervious to water and fire, and even the Lin Family’s Demon-Breaking Power couldn’t harm it.

But last night, I personally dealt with this Demon Vine, which was utterly defenseless against the Sharp Metal Power and heavenly fire.

With one strike, nearly two-thirds of the vines were severed.

The fallen Demon Vine tentacles layered and overlapping, with green thick juice flowing out from the severed ends.

The juice had a rotten stench, identical to the odor from the female corpse last night, suggesting that these toxic vines undoubtedly feed on carrion.

A majority of Qing Li’s body was liberated, leaving only one arm tightly wrapped.

She watched this scene, her eyes went blank.

Then, she suddenly shouted in anger, "Are you an idiot? What’s the point of cutting these vines, they’ll just rise from the ashes!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the cut vines resembled the tentacles that attacked Lin Hang last night.

One grows into two, two into three, many more sprouting like octopus tentacles, closing in around my body.

"I was afraid of using fire directly and harming you, so I needed to cut them down one by one." Although Qing Li scolded me, internally I remained steadfast in my strategy.

I jumped once more, twirling my body.

Biting down firmly on the strands of hair blown against my lips.

Dodging the vine attacks with my body at optimal speed, focusing my gaze on the last two vines winding around Qing Li’s arm.

Raising my hand to let the flower hairpin fall, slicing through the vines effortlessly, like cutting tofu.

Qing Li, losing her support in midair, began falling.

My arm extended toward her slender waist, tightly holding Qing Li’s cold body in my embrace, as we landed steadily on the ground together.

Having left the old town district hours ago, the talismans drawn by Yu Longting in my crossbody bag were almost dry.

I can now use them perfectly. With no hesitation, I tossed all the seven or eight fire charms out, "Heaven clear and earth bright, troops follow the seal, generals follow the command, disciple Su Wan invokes the decree of the Patriarch of Mount Mao, urgently dispatch the divine fire! Swiftly according to command!"

Currently, this is the most potent oral spell I know, second only to invoking the three Heavenly Venerable.

The fire charms drew out the heavenly fire within me, with power more ferocious.

Suddenly transforming into a majestic and enormous Fire Phoenix, with one clear cry it burned all severed vines to nothingness.

The Fire Phoenix attacked the vines extending from the window, its speed slightly slowed by the flames, still eliciting a strange cry as it burned.

Not allowing the Fire Phoenix to encircle them, it trailed the vine back to eliminate its main body.

All severed ends of the vines sprayed out terrifying poisoned sap, along with toxic gas, instantly extinguishing the heavenly fire.

"Don’t worry, don’t worry, I have a Poison-Avoiding Talisman." I felt Qing Li instinctively fearing the Poison Ivy, gently tapping her mildly trembling back, pulling out a Poison-Avoiding Talisman, "Swiftly according to command, avoid poison!"

Seeing the Poison Ivy gone, Qing Li’s back trembled even more intensely.

Cold droplets fell on my neck, sliding into my clothes along my neck, cold and chilly.

Qing Li’s long-standing grievances transformed into a sobbing sound, "Why did you come so late?? Do you have any idea...how terrifying the Poison Ivy is?"
