Qingfeng Li could tell at a glance that this green liquid was poisonous.
He opened his mouth and released a ray of golden energy. This energy was created within his body and, refined by the Golden Flames and the Sun spirit core, it was even more powerful.
The golden energy shot directly onto the green liquid, vaporizing it and causing it to disappear deep into the ground.
The Mother of the Vines glared at Qingfeng Li, its eyes full of killing intent. “You dare to destroy my green liquid? I will definitely kill you today. I’m going to drain your body dry.”
Qingfeng Li gave a humorless smile. “Cut the bull-crap,” he said. “Hurry up and use your attacks. Otherwise, this is the day you die.”
The Mother of the Vines was deep underground. This was its home turf; the vines here were even thicker, each one the width of a water tank and extremely sharp.
Each of the green vines had green hooked spikes growing from them. The spikes were about a foot long and extremely sharp, capable of piercing even air and meteor stone.
The Mother of the Vine swung its thickest green vine toward Qingfeng Li, piercing cracks in the air as it crashed towards him.
Qingfeng Li activated his Hell Seal Scriptures and tadpole-like runes appeared on the surface of his fists. The runes glittered with a black light, concealing a dark and powerful energy.
Boom!
Qingfeng Li’s fist collided with the green vine once again, emitting a thundering boom. The force of the collision sent dirt and stone flying all around them.
The green vine was sent flying by Qingfeng Li’s fist. Its sharp thorns had all been broken, but the vine itself was undamaged.
A hint of surprise appeared in Qingfeng Li’s eyes. He knew full well how powerful his Strangle Hell Fist was. Each strike was capable of cleaving a mountain in half and blowing the body of a master of the Supreme Realm apart.
But now, he failed to break the main vine of this creature. This was rather difficult to believe.
Qingfeng Li knew that this Mother of the Vines was no simple foe. It must have obtained some kind of treasure or practice some powerful technique. Otherwise, the defense of its vines wouldn’t be so powerful.
The Mother of the Vines glared at Qingfeng Li as it let out a scream. “Damned human,” it said, furious, “what is this fist technique you are using? How could it contain the power of Hell?”
Qingfeng Li smiled. Naturally, he wouldn’t tell the other that his technique was of the Immortal Level and was something that could suppress even Hell itself.
However, Qingfeng Li’s current strength was still inferior and there was a limit to how powerful his fist attacks were. This was why the Mother of the Vines was still alive.
If Qingfeng Li had fully mastered the Strangle Hell Fist at the highest level, he would be able to reduce the Mother to dust with a casual swing of his fists.
Qingfeng Li did not speak. Raising his left foot, he continued to walk ahead.
Although they were deep underground and there was sand all around, nothing could obstruct Qingfeng Li’s movements. With his extraordinary physical power, he simply pushed the sand aside as he moved.
The Mother of the Vines had realized by now, that Qingfeng Li was powerful. Not daring to hold back anymore, it swung its four core vines, stabbing at him from four separate directions.
Qingfeng Li’s expression was completely calm. Swinging his Strangle Hell Fist, he emitted terrifying waves of Hell Seal Scriptures. Each blow sent the core vines of the Mother flying. Even the thorns growing on them were shattered one by one and fell away into pieces that disappeared into the air.
Qingfeng Li moved very quickly. It wasn’t long until he was just a dozen meters from the Mother of the Vines.
The Mother of the Vines struck out with its core vines; but was utterly unable to stop Qingfeng Li from walking forward. It was no match for him.
All of the thorns on the Mother of the Vines had been broken and cracks began to appear on its surface. Green blood oozed from the wounds, staining the ground green.
The Mother of the Vines gave an agonized screech, its face completely pale. The damage done to its core vines had harmed its own physical power as well.
At the same time, a thousand meters above them on the surface of the desert, Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake, the Second Prince, Li Yang, and the black-clad men were also launching their attacks against the other vines from the Mother of the Vines. They severed all the vines on the surface, spilling green blood everywhere.
The Mother of the Vines glared at Qingfeng Li with eyes filled with killing intent. It decided to use its Origin Soul Attack in order to destroy this human before her.
The Mother of the Vines opened its mouth and chanted a strange incantation. It was the curse of plants.
Plants, like beasts and humans, could practice self-cultivation. Once they were able to take human form, they would become very powerful, as well as awaken their own super power.
The super power that the Mother of the Vines had awakened was a type of spiritual curse. It was able to create a curse from its spirit energy. This was different from regular spiritual attacks, where the attack only enters the target’s mind-space and cause damage by tearing apart their spirit energy.
A spiritual curse, on the other hand, created a curse that enters the target’s body, killing them by cursing their spirit energy. This was similar to the spells of a shaman.
Before the Mother of the Vines, there appeared a long snake of curses. Below it was a green vine. The snake and vine intertwined, and, with an unsettling energy, it flew straight into the depths of Qingfeng Li’s mind-space.
At first, Qingfeng Li didn’t think much of it. But the next moment, his expression changed.
He realized to his surprise that his own spiritual attacks were unable to destroy the snake and vine. They were a variation of the regular spiritual attack that held unbelievable power.
Qingfeng Li felt his spirit energy slowly being drained by the long snake of curses and vine. Startled, he called upon the Fire Dragon’s soul.
When it appeared in the deepest corners of Qingfeng Li’s mind-space, the Fire Dragon’s Soul, too, was surprised. Naturally, it noticed the immense power the spiritual curse contained. Hurriedly, it spat out a mouthful of golden fire, intending to destroy the curse’s energy with its super power flames.
But in the next moment, the Fire Dragon’s Soul was overcome with shock. It realized that its own super power flames were unable to burn the power of the curse.
The Fire Dragon’s Soul spoke to Qingfeng Li. “This is bad. The spiritual curse contains godly energy. The Mother of the Vines probably got some saint level spiritual technique!”
Qingfeng Li also knew that the situation was a bit dangerous. If the spiritual curse couldn’t be burned even by the power of the Fire Dragon’s super power flames, then even Dark Night Emperor wouldn’t be able to help.
Qingfeng Li had one last card up his sleeve: the Chaos Millstone.
Qinfeng Li tried to summon the Chaos Millstone, but found that it was asleep.
It took many calls for it to finally come out. By then, Qingfeng Li’s spirit energy was extremely weak. It was a hair away from being consumed by the cursed snake and vine.
From the depth of Qingfeng Li’s mind-space, the brain palace, Chaos Millstone emerged. Seeing the curse snake, it gave a shout of excitement and dove straight at it.
