Chapter 2518: The Man-eating Tree

ay.”Ye Bufan said coldly, "You quack doctor, what nonsense are you talking about My mother is still alive!"Xie Haitao said with disdain, "Alive Are you mentally ill If your mother could come back to l...As a powerful figure in the middle stage of Mahayana, Jueyu's speed was astonishing. Holding his long sword, he rose into the air and charged towards Jueku.

But the moment she rose, countless vines roared out from the bushes, coiling around her body like a multitude of giant serpents.

"Let me break it!"

In a moment of desperation, Jueyu unleashed his full power. The long sword in his hand burst forth with a shower of sword light, instantly shattering all the vines into pieces.

But this was not the end. Before she could rush forward, a giant tree, towering over ten feet high, blocked her path.

No, it was a big tree that blocked her path. This thing could actually move horizontally.

Juyou was startled. She had lived for so many years but had never seen a moving tree before.

But the giant tree remained unyielding, its thick branches whistling towards her with deadly force.

Jue Yu hastily swung her sword to block, having just severed those branches when dozens more vines had already reached her side.

These plants not only possess strong individual attack power, but they also cooperate seamlessly, advancing and retreating with precision, much like a well-trained army.

Back and forth, the worry abounded, leaving him flustered. His sword slashed through dozens of vines, but several still wrapped around his body.

This thing is really powerful. Once it sticks to your body, it grows as fast as a poultice and in the blink of an eye, it tied her up tight.

Jue Yu desperately channeled his qi, trying to shake the vines apart, but it was all in vain. They were far more resilient than he had imagined.

Although she tried her best, it was to no avail. Instead of getting better, things only worsened, and she ended up completely wrapped up like a zongzi.

This left Jueyou feeling deeply helpless. He had gone to save people, but ended up failing to rescue anyone and putting himself in danger as well.

On the other side, Yi Luo Xiang also moved. Her seven-stringed qin continuously emitted sound wave swords, slicing through the vines one by one into pieces.

Just then, a large tree beside them suddenly spurted out a jet of green liquid. Caught off guard, the seven-stringed qin was drenched in it.

And that sap, like glue, was thick and sticky. The seven-string qin, once so vibrant, now lay silent, unable to produce even a whisper of sound after being coated in it.

Yi Luo Xiang didn't expect the vegetation to be so troublesome. She immediately decided to discard her seven-stringed qin and draw her sword from behind.

In the meantime, countless vines had sprung up and swept across everything like a tidal wave.

If there's only one or two of these things, she wouldn't even bat an eye. But when the number gets overwhelming, it's just endless.

And these vines are incredibly powerful, with endless vitality. Even if you cut off a section, it will immediately grow back.

In terms of true cultivation, Luo Xiang was still a bit behind Jie Yu and Jie Ku. In the blink of an eye, he was entangled by these vines and hung in mid-air.

What's even more terrifying is that things didn't end there. After subduing Jue Ku, the giant tree began to slowly split down its trunk, revealing a gaping maw like a mouth.

This thing looks strange, wriggling constantly. There's also a bloody red fluid oozing from it, I wonder if it's the blood of people who were swallowed before. Just one glance at it makes me feel both sick and terrified.

Those vines also moved, starting to pull Jueku slowly towards the big mouth. It was obvious they were going to swallow her.

"Ah!"

Faced with this situation, even Jueku, whose personality had always been cold and indifferent, couldn't help but let out a miserable cry.

Since the day she embarked on the path of cultivation, she had been prepared to die, but she never thought she would be devoured by a tree in this way.

She struggled with all her might, but the toxins in her body spread, leaving her unable to muster even a sliver of true energy.

Even with true essence, it's unlikely one could break free from the restraints of these vines.

But as they got closer, she could even smell the stench of rot emanating from the tree trunk.

Not only her, but also Jueyu and Yiluo Xiang on the other side are facing this problem.

These trees see them entirely as prey, their sole purpose being to devour them.

Yiluo Xiang getting closer and closer to the man-eating tree's disgusting maw, a sense of confusion arose in her heart.

She wasn't really afraid of death, but there was always a certain regret in her heart, as if there were some important things she hadn't done yet.

Just then, a loud shout suddenly reached her ears.

"You two from Jueqing Valley, listen up. You saved my wife before, and today I'm saving your lives. Consider it repayment for the previous kindness. From now on, we owe each other nothing."

Yi Luo Xiang reluctantly turned her head, glancing sideways. The one speaking was Ye Bu Fan.

"Stay away from me, you're no match for these things."

She blurted it out, not knowing herself what she was thinking. All she knew was that she didn't want to see this man in danger.

A trace of disdain flashed in Jue Ku's eyes: "Just relying on you to save us Do you have the ability"

Just remember my words!

Ye Bufan finished speaking and directly punched out, with the Hundred Steps Divine Fist. An invisible force roared towards those vines. "Arrogant!"

A look of utter contempt was plastered across Jue Ku's face. In her view, even with her cultivation in the middle stages of Mahayana, she wasn't a match for these vines. This punch wouldn't have any effect at all; it would only anger these plants further.

Then, a clicking sound came from behind her, followed by a flash of white light that enveloped her instantly, disappearing within the Ten-Tier Sky-Piercing Tower.

Ye Bufan also knew that relying on his own strength, it would be difficult to completely defeat these man-eating trees. His aim wasn't to attack the vines, but to strike at the transmission jade pendant around Jue Ku's waist.

As it turned out, the method was still very effective. Although they missed the opportunity to be in the Sky Tower, they managed to save their lives in the end.

At the same time, he punched another blow toward Jueyou on the other side.

The effect was the same, another flash of white light, and this old woman was teleported out of the Sky Piercing Tower as well.

The man-eating tree seems to have some intelligence, but it's far less than that of a real human. Its huge mouth, intended for devouring, bit into empty air before realizing its mistake.

This guy seems to be enraged, countless vines are sweeping towards Ye Bufan.

"Little brother, be careful!"

Seeing this scene, Hu Yaoyao and the others couldn't help but let out exclamations of surprise.

The vines were like countless tentacles, awe-inspiring in their power, yet when they reached that spot, they grasped at empty air.

These things are, after all, of low intelligence. They became entangled and twisted into a big mess from overexertion, and it's impossible to untangle them in a short time.

Ye Bufan used a teleportation technique to dodge the vine's attack, and then appeared beside Yiluo Xiang.

This is his woman, he wouldn't send her away unless absolutely necessary, so he didn't use his previous tricks.

Immediately, a golden light erupted, surging with the invincible power of a dragon's tooth and instantly shattering all the vines.

"Follow me!"

With his left hand, he held Yiroxiang close to his chest and with his right hand, he wielded Longya. He once again used teleportation.

Within this seventh layer, his teleportation was greatly suppressed, only able to move a distance of thirty or forty meters.

But saving people was enough; when he appeared again, he was already by Nalan Yujia and the others' side.

Yiluo Xiang was held in his arms, her whole body was dazed, she felt that this embrace was very familiar, even a little reluctant to leave.

Seeing the last prey rescued, the man-eating trees went utterly berserk.

Countless vines roared out, sweeping towards the crowd in a deluge.dy it carefully.""The auctioneer isn't wrong, maybe there are some treasures hiding in there."At his words, a wave of laughter rippled through the crowd.Sometimes human psychology is like that, you ma...
