Chapter 712: Weakness
Jingji gritted her teeth, knowing she was no match for Li Yuan, and turned to run away!
Li Yuan stood still, his gaze coldly fixed on the red figure disappearing into the distance, and said, "Chase!"
"Yes, sir!"
Bai and Li Yu flew over like lightning, their two powerful spiritual energies crossing as they slashed down at Jingji's neck!
Thorn's figure suddenly darted away, dodging the sweeping spiritual energy, and continued to flee forward.
As he ran, he secretly cast a spell. Black energy spread around him, and black arrays appeared under his feet. A gust of cold wind blew by, and ghostly wails came from afar!
Bai and Li Yu exchanged a knowing glance and immediately used their techniques to interrupt the thorns' witchcraft.
Thorn sneered and was about to summon the soul when an invisible sealing force suddenly appeared, like an inescapable chain binding his arms, so strong that he could hardly move!
Damn it!
Thorn was so angry she almost ground her teeth to powder, her fierce gaze fixed on Li Yuan, who was slowly approaching from a distance.
Li Yuan's expression was icy, and he looked at Jing Ji as if she were trash: "That's enough."
Bai and Li Yu stood on either side of the thorns, their weapons aimed at his vital points.
Li Yuan stood just a step away from the thorns, raising his evil dragon bone scythe to sever their heads—
"Don't you want to know how to get rid of the parasitic plant?"
The sound of thorns suddenly rang out.
The blade finally stopped at the skin on Jingji's neck. Li Yuan stared coldly at him and said ruthlessly, "Trying to stall for time?"
"I'm serious." Thorn's smile was arrogant. "Besides me, who else in this world can cultivate magical plants? Therefore, only I can remove them!"
"I remember you once said that there is no way to remove the parasitic plant." Li Yuan's eyes were cold. It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned it, because mentioning it only intensified his hatred for Jingji. "You caused my fiancée to be parasitized by the plant, making her suffer pain that no ordinary person could bear. For that alone, I can grind you to dust!"
Thorn laughed: "What if I told you I've found a way? Would you spare my life?"
Li Yuan's dangerous gaze was fixed on Jing Ji: "Are you serious?"
Thorn's red lips curved into a bewitching smile, and even in his current predicament, his wicked aura remained undiminished: "Of course..."
"Fake!"
In that split second, black light burst from Thorn's crimson eyes, and his figure instantly turned into a wisp of red smoke!
Li Yuan's face darkened, and his arrogant laughter echoed throughout the world: "Hahaha... Li Yuan, Li Yuan, you shouldn't have exposed your weakness in front of me, Thorn!"
As the thorns' wild laughter faded into the distance, his presence also dissipated.
Li Yuan's expression was cold and sinister, and killing intent surrounded him. Bai and Li Yu felt a suffocating sensation as if their necks were being squeezed. They quickly knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty! Your subordinates will go and pursue Jing Ji immediately!"
After saying that, the two figures vanished in a flash.
After a long while, Li Yuan's face suddenly turned deathly pale, and crimson liquid spilled from the corner of his lips.
He clutched his chest and took a deep breath.
Although he had the Ice Bone Spirit Ginseng and Snow Mushroom Fruit given to him by Fei'er, they couldn't completely eliminate the fire poison. Coincidentally, these past few days had been full moon nights, and he had been fighting against thorns all along, but finally, he couldn't bear it any longer...
