After listening to the Sword Venerable and Mother Vine conversation, Shen Tian was about to die from awkwardness.
So this is the love story of a young sword cultivator and a little vine that met when small and fell in love. Then the young sword cultivator or his master was unable to accept them being together, and thus they were forcibly separated.
Then hatred was born because of love for the little vine, thus hating the whole human race. Therefore, the little vine turned bad and caused troubles while focusing on killing people?
OMG! Such a cliche and soap opera plot! Just how bad the screenwriter is to be able to write such a plot?
If it were not for Shen Tian being unable to win against those two, he would have long gone out and talked some sense into them.
The concept of love in the cultivation world is really freaking behind! The people in Fog City have been implicated in the love matters of these two!
Have the both of you considered those innocent people’s feelings, especially the feelings of those that were single?
Shen Tian started complaining like crazy in his heart, but his body was steadily hidden behind the stone.
No joke, even if he knew that the two beings in front of him were two tsundere people that had twisted concepts of love, it did not mean their strengths would decrease.
They were powerful peak-stage Soul Formation beings, especially Lu Ji, who was already transcending the tribulation. Once she succeeded, she would enter the Tribulation Transcendence stage and become a mighty peerless figure.
If he jumped out there and told her, “Your concept of love is too freaking idiotic!”, then with just a whip of her vine, he would turn into mashed meat.
Although Shen Tian felt that Lu Ji might not directly whip him to death due to his handsomeness, what should Shen Tian do if after she saw him, she fell in love with him and started pestering him?
Although she was older by 3,000 years old and was powerful in terms of strength, her concept of love was too extreme.
Shen Tian did not really like such a type.
Eh, why am I letting my imagination run wild again?
Shen Tian continued enjoying the show behind the stone.
On the other side, Sword Venerable Qian Yang and Lu Ji had also started their battle.
The whole mountain valley was shaking—those vines that were even thicker than pillars had stretched out from all places in the mountain valley, stirring the ground up.
The Nascent Soul Divine Binding Vine that Shen Tian had seen previously was already as tall as 300 meters. He had been under the impression that it was gigantic, yet currently, each vine of Lu Ji’s true body had already surpassed hundreds of meters. Also, her vines were not greenish-black but were more of an emerald green.
The vines looked as if they had been carved from jade and looked crystal clear.
Under the light of the blazing sun the Sword Venerable Qian Yang had turned into, the vines were shining radiantly.
“Since you refuse to admit your mistake, I’ll settle you today!”
Sword Venerable Qian Yang’s eyes betrayed a shred of resolution as he pulled out the long broadsword behind him suddenly.
In an instant, the vast and blazing sword aura enclosed the whole mountain valley, even a large amount of spirit fog had dispersed.
Once again, a grand sun appeared in the skies, shining on the broad and huge divine sword Sword Venerable Qian Yang was holding.
“Endless Sky, Sky-Incinerating Sword Aura!”
Sword Venerable Qian Yang’s body turned into a humongous sun, and the long broadsword in his hand had shot out a 300-meter-wide sword aura. He started fighting with Lu Ji, and sword aura was being released in all directions.
However, he quickly discovered a horrifying fact—his sword was no match for Lu Ji!
The broadsword’s sharpness in Sword Venerable Qian Yang’s hands could easily slice through the mountains and rivers—just one slash could split the Thuong River 300 meters in height.
Meanwhile, only a cut that was a few meters deep was left on Lu Ji’s vines.
Although a wound that was a few feet deep sounded frightening, it was negligible to a 300-meter-long vine. It could only be counted as a superficial injury, not even slicing half of the vine.
However, Lu Ji’s outraged roar still resounded.
“You actually attacked me! Alright, from today onward, our relationship is no more! I want you to see me slaughter the whole Fog City!”
The huge vines whipped Sword Venerable Qian Yang continuously, but he strenuously blocked them all.
Nonetheless, even someone with cultivation as weak as Shen Tian’s could see that Sword Venerable Qian Yang was on the losing end. That was because his sword aura realm kept on shrinking due to being suppressed by the huge vines, and he was unable to counterattack.
Lu Ji sneered and said, “Qian Yang, there’s something I’ve never told you. Did you think that I’m just a normal Divine Binding Vine? You’re wrong then, as I’m actually a Divine Devouring Vine!
“From the first time we met and each time we fought, I always lost on purpose! However, today, I’m not pretending anymore. I’ll show you that you won’t even be able to last one strike!”
After finishing, Lu Ji suddenly whipped her huge vine and instantly knocked Sword Venerable Qian Yang hundreds of meters away.
“This is your strength? You plan to use such a laughable strength to protect the human race you mentioned?” Lu Ji mocked. “Let me tell you, Qian Yang—you can’t protect anyone!”
The crystal-clear jade-like vines suddenly whipped the broadsword in Sword Venerable Qian Yang’s hands away.
Immediately after, four thin vines pierced through the air and tightly bound Sword Venerable Qian Yang’s limbs. In an instant, the Soul Formation Sword Venerable Qian Yang was tightly tied up in the air.
At that moment, Divine Devouring Vine, which was ranked 9th in the Spiritual Wood List, revealed its unmatched ferocity!
The enchanting woman figure appeared once again. She looked at Sword Venerable Qian Yang in a bantering manner and scoffed.
“So, this is your pride as a human? I’m a Divine Devouring Vine, the supreme divine vine that can devour Perfected Immortals. Did you really think I was not your opponent and that you really suppressed me in the Fog Plain for thousands of years?
“Such a joke! I was just keeping a low profile to conceal my real strength. I just did not want to be discovered by the human race’s real mighty beings. You’re just the cover-up to deceive others!
“From today onward, I’ll really be able to transform into a human and completely be free of being shackled in the ground.
“Since you’re unwilling to marry me, I’ll suck you dry and find someone else!
“Haha, just nicely I have discovered a man with peerless handsomeness not long ago. After transcending the tribulation, I’ll go and catch him and do whatever I want to him.
“I want you to witness it! You can’t do anything to me!”
Lu Ji stood between the heavens and earth—lightning had already started to strike from the clouds. That was the fearsome killer tribulation, and the lightning had the might of the heavens and earth. Its strength would increase against stronger living beings.
The Divine Devouring Vine was in the top 10 of the Spiritual Wood List ranking. It had powerful abilities, such as devouring and piercing through the void. Thus, its lightning tribulation was also unimaginably powerful; just the first strike of lightning was the legendary White Tiger VII Divine Lightning (Metal).
Such a White Tiger VII Divine Lightning (Metal) was not the Divine Lightning the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground disciples could create.
It was the Connate White Tiger VII Divine Lightning (Metal) that was formed by the Heavenly Dao. It was mighty and way stronger than Zhang Yunxi’s White Tiger Divine Lightning. In addition, its attribute was metal, which best subdued wood-attribute spirit plants!
The White Tiger VII Divine Lightning (Metal) struck from the sky as if a sword was slicing the sky.
Lu Ji crazily swung the vines around her, turning them into a single long emerald whip in an attempt to counter the lightning.
Clang!
The lightning was like a legendary unsheathed sword, while the vine was like shattered glass—the Divine Lightning slash directly crushed the long emerald whip!
The remaining half of the lightning did not reduce in strength but instead struck Lu Ji’s body heavily.
A frightening injury appeared on the huge vine, and milky-colored thick juice flowed out of it. That was the Divine Devouring Vine’s juice, which contained an abundance of energy. It was extremely useful even to Soul Formation cultivators.
Lu Ji sneered. “The Heavenly Dao really favors you humans, and it’s naturally simpler for you humans.
“Meanwhile, in our case—individuals from other races that want to transform into humans—the power of the Heavenly Tribulation is increased by more than 10 times!
“Haha, since it’s like this, I’ll have to use humans as a sacrifice! I want to see if the heavens can annihilate me!”
