Chapter 159: Arrange Arrays and Trap

When Lou Mu Yan heard that excited call, her heart tightened.
She mobilised her Spiritual Energy to gather into her longswords, quickly chasing the Fire Dragon.

After going a further few hundred metres deeper underground, the Fire Dragon shifted its direction and Lou Mu Yan followed closely behind. 

After a while, the Fire Dragon chased upwards with a swish. 

“It seems like the Human-Eating Blood Thorn Vine King is right up there.” Bing Ji said while looking at the place not far away. 

Lou Mu Yan had a deep chill in her eyes.
If this Demon Vine dared to touch Ye Qing Han and Yun Lan, then she wouldn’t want its Blood Thorn Sac anymore.
Only by burning it could she relieve her hatred. 

However, she didn’t chase in the direction of the Fire Dragon again, but instead ceaselessly formed newer ‘territory’ ahead. 

“Little Owner, are you not going to chase in the direction of the Fire Dragon? The Human-Eating Blood Thorn Vine King is right on top.” Bing Ji asked in confusion. 

Lou Mu Yan mobilised the double swords forward while saying: “I naturally have my own way to deal with it.”

Bing Ji rolled his eyes.
The target was just above, how could she deal with if it she came here instead and didn’t follow it upwards? 

Mo Yan’s eyes were still indifferent, but it hid an understanding, “You want to try destroying its roots?”

“As expected, Mo Yan is smart.” Lou Mu Yan said.

“…” Bing Ji glared at Mo Yan.
This kid would just always come out to please people at the critical moments. 

Mo Yan replied with a cold look and Bing Ji instantly felt that the feathers on his body were about to stand up on its ends.
This damned Spirit Devourer had Race Suppression against him. 

Finally, he cursed Mo Yan in his heart repeatedly and only then did he feel more comfortable. 

As Lou Mu Yan was moving forward, a sliver of Spiritual Sense was also attached to the Fire Dragon.
After knowing that the dark golden vines entangled the two of them and dragged them to the place above but didn’t do anything for the time being, she gently sighed with relief. 

While mobilising the Fire Dragon to hover over the two people’s heads, readying it to fight with the Human-Eating Blood Thorn Vine King, she also stopped in a place.

What entered her eye was the thick root system wrapped in dark golden-coloured bark.
Each root system also had countless red threads, just like blood vessels.

The root system had been extended to a very deep underground place and Spiritual Force was being absorbed by its root system incessantly.

Lou Mu Yan’s eyes sharpened.
Without any hesitation, she flipped her right hand and a cluster of purple-golden coloured flames jumped out of her palm, prepared to act.

“Who knew that this Demon Tree is only at Initial-Phase Tier 6 cultivation base.” Bing Ji scanned the aura of the Demonic Plant opposite him, pursed his lips and said casually.

Lou Mu Yan rolled her eyes at him: “Demonic Plants have it much harder in cultivating than Demonic Beasts.
Initial-Phase Tier 6 strength isn’t at all weaker than a Late-Phase Tier 6 Demonic Beast.
Not to mention that it’s a King.”

In order for a plant to become a spirt and gain intelligent was hundreds or even thousands of times more difficult than Demonic Beasts.
That’s why Demonic Plants were exceptionally rare.
Each high-level Demonic Plant birthed could basically sweep out Demonic Beasts at the same Tier.

A Demonic Beast could transform into human form at Tier 7 while Demonic Plants needed to be at Tier 8; at Tier 6 it could only communicate using Demonic Sense, and only at Tier 7 could it speak the human language.

Each step was a Tier slower, but its strength was even stronger.

It was useless to deal with such a Demonic Plant using ordinary Fire Elemental Energy.
Of course, if it were a human Sword Master two Stages higher than a Demonic Plant and who could use Fire Elemental Energy, then they could definitely cause damage towards it.

Her cultivation level wasn’t enough, so the only thing that could restrain it was Mutant Flames.

If she hadn’t subdued the Purple-Golden Spirit Flame, then she wouldn’t dare rush in so easily and take abuse herself.
After all, although she had the ability to challenge higher stages, but the Demonic Plant also had that ability, and it was countless times more difficult to deal with than her.

She noticed that a powerful aura appeared above, directly waving its vines and sent the bound Ye Qing Han and Yun Lan towards it.
The Fire Dragon kept burning the dark golden-coloured vines, but it was of little use.

“Go!” So she said without hesitation and the Purple-Gold Spirit Flame was as if it had come alive, turning into a blooming purple peony, and floated out.

As soon as the peony touched the main root system of the Human-Eating Blood Thorn Vine King, the other party shrank swiftly as if it had seen a ghost, but it was too large and could barely move a few steps.

[CRACKLE!!]

Several sounds of burning vines resounded and a faint burnt smell spread in the underground soil.

[SQUEAK SQUEAK!!] A loud and shrill cry sounded.

The sturdy tree roots that intertwined deep in the ground actually broke away from the soil and flicked in Lou Mu Yan’s direction as if it had come alive, one by one.

There was also a very indignant Demonic Sense telepathic voice that was heard: “Human, today I must tear you into thousands of pieces.”

It had been a thousand years—he had never suffered such humiliation and pain.
The power of the flame just now made him feel strong danger.
He must kill this danger.

Meanwhile, also kill the human that dared to set him on fire, tearing them into countless pieces of flesh and blood to serve as the nourishment for his roots.

“Just with you, an ugly Demonic Plant?” Lou Mu Yan huffed coldly, flipped her hands, and numerous purple peonies instantly floated down.

When they met the tree roots that were flicking towards her, they fell piece by piece from the stamens and melted into the dark golden-coloured tree roots.

[SCREECH SCREECH!!] A few more shrieks sounded.
All the tree roots that were merged with the purple-golden petals made a [CRACKLE] sound, accompanied by a burning smell.

“Damned human, if you have the guts then come up and fight me head-on.” The Human-Eating Blood Thorn Vine King was extremely angry but could do nothing.

That purple-coloured Spirit Flame was the nemesis of all them Demonic Plants and they’ll become trash the moment they touch it.
Just now, when his huge root system touched the flame, it had become completely unable to regenerate.

His heart was bleeding—those were the root systems on which he depended for survival!

“Pfft!!” Lou Mu Yan sneered, and the movements of her hands didn’t stop as she specifically attacked the relatively weaker roots using the Purple-Gold Spirit Flame.

“Do you think I’m a fool?”

“You deserve to die.” The Human-Eating Blood Thorn Vine King was truly infuriated this time.
He retrieved the root that he was about to attack Lou Mu Yan with. 

The roots of the tree suddenly began to change, becoming shorter and thinner.
He was the Blood Thorn Vine King, so he naturally occupied the place with the most abundant Spiritual Force and could also move at will. 

Now that he was restrained by the purple flames, he could only shorten and shrink his rhizomes so that the human couldn’t easily burn them. 

Lou Mu Yan sneered and condensed several Taoist Seals in mid-air, shooting them one by one to the place that the tree roots of the Human-Eating Blood Thorn Vine King had occupied before. 

“Seal!” After forming the last Taoist Seal with her hands, she slapped it down hard. 

More than a dozen jade-coloured runes emerged from all directions, intertwining together to form a dense net from all sides, trapping the Human-Eating Blood Thorn Vine King that had shrunk countless times within. 

When she first saw such huge rhizomes earlier, she just knew that it’d be too laborious to deal with the Human-Eating Blood Thorn Vine King by just relying on the Purple-Gold Spirit Flame.
It was easy to escape by just shrinking the entire tree root like he did. 

So from the moment she entered here, she hid her hands in her sleeves, pinching seals and arranging Talisman Arrays.
As long as the Human-Eating Blood Thorn Vine King was trapped and couldn’t move to escape or attack her in wide ranges, she could make him obedient. 

As her voice fell, the dense net of jade-coloured rays of light flourished in all directions and turned into a high wall of dozens of metres, circling with runes, compressing towards the Human-Eating Blood Thorn Vine King.
