Chapter 2518 Man-eating Tree

As a Great Ascension Middle Stage expert, Jue You's speed was astonishing; she gripped her longsword and soared into the air, rushing towards Jue Ku.

But just as she took flight, countless vines whistled out from the bushes, coiling around her like innumerable giant snakes.

"Break for me!"

In her haste, Jue You unleashed her full power, and her longsword erupted with a sky-filling sword aura, instantly shredding all those vines.

Yet, this was not the end; before she could rush past, a giant tree, easily over ten zhang tall, blocked her path.

That's right, a large tree blocked her way, and this thing could actually move horizontally.

Jue You was startled; in all her years, it was the first time she had seen a moving large tree.

However, that giant tree did not pause; several incredibly thick branches whistled as they smashed towards her.

Jue You quickly swung her treasured sword to block; just as she severed these branches, dozens more vines had already reached her.

These plants not only had strong individual attack power but also cooperated extremely well, advancing and retreating with precision, just like a disciplined army.

In the back and forth, Jue You was somewhat flustered; her treasured sword severed dozens of vines, but she was still entangled by a few.

These things were truly formidable; once they stuck to the body, they grew rapidly like a plaster, binding her tightly in the blink of an eye.

Jue You desperately circulated her True Qi, wanting to break these tree vines, but facts proved it was all futile; these things were much tougher than imagined.

Although she had given her all, it had no effect; instead, she became more and more entangled, her entire body wrapped up like a zongzi.

This left Jue You feeling helpless; she had intended to save someone, but not only did she fail to save them, she also got herself caught.

On the other side, Yi Luoxiang also moved; her seven-stringed zither continuously emitted sound wave swords, completely severing path after path of vines into fragments.

But just then, a nearby large tree suddenly spewed a stream of green sap, and caught off guard, the seven-stringed zither was hit directly.

And that tree sap was like glue, sticky and thick; once the seven-stringed zither was contaminated with this stuff, it could no longer produce any sound.

Yi Luoxiang hadn't expected these plants to be so troublesome; she immediately decided to discard the seven-stringed zither and drew the treasured sword from her back.

But in that brief delay, countless more vines swept over, covering the sky and earth.

If there were only one or two of these things, she wouldn't have even noticed them, but there were too many, simply endless.

Moreover, these vines had extremely strong attack power and endless vitality; even if you cut off a section, it would immediately regrow.

In terms of true cultivation, Yi Luoxiang was still somewhat inferior to Jue You and Jue Ku; in a flash, she was also tightly entangled by these vines and suspended in mid-air.

What was even more terrifying was that things did not end there; the giant tree that Jue Ku faced, after subduing her, began to slowly crack open its trunk, revealing a large mouth-like opening.

This thing looked strange, continuously wriggling, and blood-red sap seeped out from within; it was unknown if it was the blood of people previously swallowed, making one feel both disgusted and terrified at first glance.

The vines also moved, slowly pulling Jue Ku towards the large mouth; clearly, this was to devour her.

"Ah!"

Facing this situation, even the usually cold-natured Jue Ku couldn't help but let out a mournful cry.

Since the day she embarked on the path of cultivation, she had been prepared to die, but she had never imagined she would be devoured by a large tree in such a way.

She struggled desperately, but the toxins permeated her body, making her unable to muster even a shred of True Qi.

Even if she had True Essence, she probably couldn't break free from the vines' restraints.

But seeing the distance getting closer and closer, she could even smell the foul odor emanating from within the tree trunk.

Not only her, but Jue You and Yi Luoxiang on the other side also faced this problem.

These trees completely regarded them as prey, and the purpose of capturing them was to devour them.

Yi Luoxiang got closer and closer to the disgusting large mouth of the man-eating tree, and a sense of bewilderment rose in her heart.

She wasn't particularly afraid of death, but there was always some regret in her heart, as if some important things had not yet been done.

Just then, a loud shout suddenly came to her ears.

"You two from Jueqing Valley, listen: you saved my woman before, so today I will save your lives, considering it repayment for the previous kindness; from now on, we owe each other nothing."

Yi Luoxiang barely managed to turn her head, glancing with the corner of her eye; the one speaking was none other than Ye Bufan.

"Don't come over; you're not a match for these things either."

The words slipped out, and she didn't know what she was thinking, but she simply didn't want to see this man in danger.

A hint of disdain flashed in Jue Ku's eyes: "You want to save us? Do you have the ability?"

"Just remember my words!"

Ye Bufan finished speaking and directly unleashed a punch, Hundred Steps Divine Fist, an invisible force whistling towards those vines.

"Overestimating yourself!"

Jue Ku's face was full of contempt; in her opinion, even with her Great Ascension Middle Stage cultivation, she was no match for these vines, so the other party's punch would have no effect whatsoever and would instead provoke these plants.

But then, a cracking sound came to her ears, followed by a flash of white light that directly enveloped her, instantly disappearing from the Ten-Tier Tongtian Tower.

It turned out that Ye Bufan also knew that with his own strength, it would be difficult to completely defeat these man-eating trees in front of him; his goal was not to attack the vines, but to strike the transmission jade token at Jue Ku's waist.

Facts proved that this method was still very effective; although she lost the opportunity within the Tongtian Tower, she ultimately saved her life.

At the same time, he unleashed another punch towards Jue You on the other side.

The effect was still the same; another flash of white light, and this old woman was also teleported out of the Tongtian Tower.

The man-eating trees seemed to have some intelligence, but they were still far from true humans; the huge mouth that originally intended to swallow bit at empty air, and only then did it react.

This fellow seemed to be enraged; countless vines swept out, covering the sky and earth, surging towards Ye Bufan.

"Xiao Age, be careful!"

Seeing this scene, Hu Yaoyao and the others couldn't help but let out cries of alarm.

Those vines were like countless tentacles, incredibly powerful, but when they grabbed at that spot, they grabbed nothing but air.

These things were, after all, of low intelligence; due to overexertion, they became entangled, twisting into a large knot that could not be undone quickly.

Ye Bufan used a teleportation move to avoid the vines' attack, then appeared beside Yi Luoxiang.

This was his woman; he would not teleport her out unless absolutely necessary, so he did not use the previous move.

Immediately after, golden light erupted, and with the invincible might of Dragon Tooth, he instantly shattered all those vines.

"Follow me!"

Holding Yi Luoxiang in his left arm and wielding Dragon Tooth in his right, he once again used Teleportation.

In this Seventh Layer, his Teleportation was also greatly suppressed, only able to move a distance of thirty to forty meters.

But it was enough to save someone; when he reappeared, he was already beside Nalan Yujia and the others.

Yi Luoxiang was held in his embrace, her entire being in a daze; she felt this embrace was very familiar, even somewhat reluctant to leave.

Seeing that the last prey had also been rescued, those few man-eating trees completely went berserk.

Countless vines whistled out, sweeping over towards the group, covering the sky and earth.
