Zu An's expression hardened. Naturally, he wouldn't stand idly by. As the saying goes, the one who tied the knot must untie it. He charged straight at the woman.
The beautiful woman seemed to have been prepared. Suddenly, the floor cracked, and saplings grew from the ground, growing larger almost instantly until they formed the shape of tree soldiers, blocking all paths of progress.
"Boss, be careful not to get entangled!" Wei Su hurriedly reminded him. Many wood-type cultivators can summon treants. Although treants are clumsy, they are incredibly strong. Once entangled, their abilities are easily rendered useless, just like when he was entangled by that great world just now...
Zuan remained calm and unleashed a fiery blade strike, for fire was the bane of these plants.
The tree-men were immediately thrown into chaos, letting out silent screams.
The beautiful woman frowned slightly, and with a gentle wave of her hand, a cloud of water vapor condensed in her palm.
Then she threw the water ball at the tree people, which quickly turned into a light drizzle.
However, her expression quickly changed. Logically, the water should have been enough to extinguish the flames, but the flames were not affected at all. Instead, they burned even more fiercely, as if fueled by oil.
Those tall and imposing tree-men were burned to ashes in the blink of an eye.
Zuan didn't stop and charged straight at the opponent.
Qiu Honglei was also moved. She summoned a palace lantern, its light enveloping the woman, in coordination with Zu An's attack.
The beautiful woman's hair transformed into countless fine, dense vines, which quickly formed the shape of an umbrella, blocking the light of the palace lantern and thus preventing it from affecting her.
Qiu Honglei exclaimed in surprise, never expecting the other party to resolve the situation in this way.
At this moment, countless vines rose up in front of the beautiful woman and surged towards Zu'an. Compared to the vines cast by the senior sister just now, her vines were obviously much thicker and had flowing light on them, clearly not ordinary.
Zuan's body blazed with flames, transforming into a fire phoenix as he pounced on his opponent.
"This is no ordinary fire!" The beautiful woman's expression changed slightly. She suddenly retreated, her hands rapidly forming a series of complex hand seals, "Lin Bing Dou Zhe Jie Zhen Lie Qian Xing!"
Zu An was filled with questions. He had heard this Taoist nine-character mantra in his previous life and knew that it was usually used to exorcise evil spirits.
But now a tree spirit is spewing out these nine-character mantras for exorcising evil spirits. Isn't something wrong with this world?
At this moment, the beautiful woman shouted again, "Form ranks in the south, Vermilion Bird, heed my command!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a clear bird song suddenly rang out behind her, and a bird image with flames all over its body soared into the sky and crashed directly into Zu'an.
Bang!
A blinding flash of light passed by, and both sides took several steps back.
Zaun discovered that his flames could no longer burn away the opponent's vines.
He wondered if the firebird he had just seen was the legendary Vermilion Bird. Both the Vermilion Bird and the Phoenix are sacred birds of fire. With the Vermilion Bird protecting her, it would probably be difficult for him to injure her with flames.
But how could the mighty Vermilion Bird, a sacred beast, protect a demon?
Moreover, she was reciting Taoist mantras.
At this moment, the beautiful woman soared into the air, and countless vines rose up behind her, attacking the two of them. Wherever they passed, the tables, chairs, and even pillars in the house broke.
Suddenly, Qiu Honglei's body shone brightly, and a wall of light rose in front of the two of them, blocking all the vines.
The strongest defense of the Light element—the Wall of Sighs!
The beautiful woman was startled, not expecting that the opponent's wide-range attack would be blocked.
She quickly formed hand seals again: "Lin..."
Unfortunately, Zuan had already made his move. A dazzling sword light flashed, cutting a path through countless vines, and then appeared beside her in the astonished eyes of the other party.
His hand gripped her neck, preventing her from uttering any more truthful words.
She originally wanted to fight back, but suddenly felt a force sealing her major acupoints, and at the same time a strange suction force appeared from his palm, like a black hole that could suck away all her essence and blood at any time.
This way, she no longer dared to, and could no longer, make any unusual moves.
The vines that had been flying everywhere suddenly retracted and disappeared.
"What kind of demon are you?" The beautiful woman was somewhat horrified. This guy's cultivation was too terrifying!
Not only that, but the other party also seemed capable of draining her dry at any moment.
“I am, of course, human.” Zaun glanced at Wesso. “Release the spell on him!”
Vesso was almost in tears, thinking to himself that the boss was indeed the best.
At the same time, he was also somewhat shocked by Zu An's cultivation level, which was actually higher than he had imagined.
To everyone's surprise, the beautiful woman calmly replied, "Throughout my life, Jing Teng has never been coerced."
Zuan frowned and unconsciously increased the pressure on his hands.
This woman's name is Jing Teng? What a strange name.
The beautiful woman hummed in response, a hint of pain flashing between her brows, but her expression remained stubborn, showing no sign of yielding.
Zu An said in a deep voice, "Do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?"
The beautiful woman calmly replied, "This world is a dog-eat-dog world. I was defeated by you because I was not as skilled. You may kill me or torture me as you please, but don't even think about me begging for mercy."
Sensing the firmness in her tone, Zuan was momentarily at a loss; killing her would mean dying along with Weisuo.
Qiu Honglei smiled slightly: "Grandpa, leave it to me. Our Holy Sect is better at this kind of torture."
The beautiful woman glanced at her indifferently: "Your human punishments have no effect on me. I won't even flinch if I die."
