At the moment when his mind was distracted by the worship of millions of vines and the uncontrolled throbbing of power within his body—
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Without warning, several extremely faint sounds, like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, rang out from the cracks in the vines behind him, under his feet, and even above his head! The speed was so fast that it exceeded the limit of visual detection!
The deadly sense of crisis was like a scalding cold shower, instantly waking Pei Du from his strange resonance. His molten-gold pupils suddenly blazed with a sharp, tangible light, and the dark-gold lines covering his entire body instantly shone brightly!
It’s too late!
Three dark shadows, like ghosts emerging from the humus, carried a strong plant-based odor and a cold, inhuman murderous intent. They shot towards him from three absolutely tricky angles—blind spots within blind spots! Their targets were extremely clear: the back of Pei Du's neck, the vital points of his spine, and the hollow in the tree root where he had placed the Xu Shuangyao!
Pei Du roared with suppressed rage, twisting his body against the impossible! His left arm, covered in dark gold patterns, swung out like lightning, leaving a blurry golden afterimage as he blocked the black shadow's attack from the back of his neck with incredible precision!
Dang! There was a sharp sound of metal clashing!
His left arm trembled violently! A cold, slippery touch, imbued with a strong corrosive force, reached him! He parried the dark shadow attacking his neck, revealing its form—a pitch-black vine thorn, its tip sharp as a needle, emitting a cold metallic gleam! A trace of dark green, clearly poisonous mucus still clung to its tip!
But Ge Kai's attack was already his limit! The other two shadows, one piercing his spine, and the other going straight for the unconscious Xu Shuangyao, he could no longer take care of both!
A critical moment!
A trace of resolute madness flashed in Pei Du's golden eyes. He completely disregarded his own body and rushed towards Xu Shuangyao! He tried to use his back to withstand the fatal blow to his spine!
Phew!
A teeth-grinding sound like a sharp weapon piercing rotten wood was heard!
The expected sharp pain of piercing the spine did not come! Pei Du turned around suddenly, and his molten golden pupils suddenly froze!
The black vine spike that had been piercing his spine was suddenly entangled by another dark brown vine covered in spiral patterns, less than half an inch from the skin of his dark gold-patterned vest. The vine "protecting" him seemed to be under tremendous force, creaking under the weight. The surface was instantly corroded by the venom of the black spikes, making a hissing sound and emitting green smoke. But it still clung to it tightly, refusing to let go!
The shadow that shot towards Xu Shuangyao was also entangled by two thick vines that suddenly sprang up from the moss on the ground, entangled like a giant python! The shadow struggled hard, revealing its true form—a strange creature, pitch black, with sharp mouthparts, resembling a centipede but covered in vines! Now, strangled by the two vines, it let out a sharp hissing sound!
This sudden change caught Pei Du off guard! Attackers? Protectors? The plants in this space seemed... not one and the same? Some were madly worshipping the star-core blood within him, while others were launching a deadly assassination attempt on him?
"Humph! Trash!"
A cold, hoarse female voice filled with disdain pierced the silent green space like an icicle, coming from the shadow of a huge, twisted mushroom cap in front of Pei Du's right.
Before he finished speaking, a blinding green beam, like the gaze of a venomous snake, tore through the shadows without warning. With a destructive energy surge, it instantly shot towards Pei Du! Its speed and concentrated energy far surpassed the previous attacks by vines and poisonous insects! Wherever the beam passed, the air sizzled with ionization, and even the dancing vines seemed to shrink back in fear!
This was the real killer move! The previous attack was just a feint to force him to reveal his weakness!
Pei Du's pupils constricted. The slight delay caused by the vines' "protection" had now become a fatal flaw! The angle of the pale green beam was extremely tricky, blocking all his space to dodge. Even more deadly, it was not aimed at him, but directly at the unconscious Xu Shuangyao behind him!
Attack and you will be rescued!
"roar--!"
Pei Du roared with a furious beast-like roar! The drop of icy star-core blood within his body was instantly ignited by this fatal blow that struck his weak spot! An overwhelming and unstoppable icy torrent, far surpassing any remaining strength, erupted like a dormant volcano!
boom!
The dark gold lines covering his entire body suddenly lit up with a dazzling light! An invisible force field with an aura of absolute annihilation violently exploded with him as the center!
Click! Click! Click!
The vines that were frantically "worshipping" him were instantly crushed and pulverized by this terrifying force field! Those further away were like being struck by an invisible giant hammer, breaking, twisting, and falling backwards! The dark brown vine that had shielded him from the black spikes was the first to bear the brunt of the impact, torn into countless pieces amidst screams!
The pale green beam of destruction slammed heavily into the dark golden force field shield that Pei Du had forcibly stretched out and compressed to the extreme!
Sizzle——!
The piercing sound of energy annihilation was like the screams of tens of millions of evil spirits! The bleak green and dark gold devoured and annihilated each other frantically! The terrifying shockwave exploded in a circular pattern, sending a green "wave" several meters high from the thick moss layer on the ground. Countless decayed leaves and fungal fragments were thrown into the turbid "sky"! The ground beneath Pei Du's feet instantly collapsed, forming a deep pit! He felt as if he had been hit by a 10,000-ton hammer. With a muffled groan, he was pushed back more than ten meters by the terrifying kinetic energy contained in the beam, and his feet plowed two deep gullies in the mossy ground!
