The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 942

Chapter 942: Chapter 939: Breakthrough Chapter 942: Chapter 939: Breakthrough Shen Luo finally realized that what the vine flower demon just sprayed out was indeed its spore dust.

Fortunately, he used the water curtain in time to block it; otherwise, had those things landed on them, they would probably have already sprouted from him and Bai Xiaotian.

However, the situation was far from optimistic. Vines densely packed like arrows shot down from the sky, raining down upon the two of them.

Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian had no choice but to move quickly, retreating backwards.

Many of the vines failed to pierce the two men and plunged into the ground instead, but they quickly grew tenfold, breaking through the soil and lunging at them once more. Some even changed direction in mid-air, continuing to surge towards the pair.

“Go up.”

With a loud shout, Bai Xiaotian leaped up first, charging toward the sky above the valley, followed closely by Shen Luo.

However, before they could rise high above the mountain wall, a yawning abyss-like maw appeared out of thin air in the canopy above, snapping shut on them.

“The vine flower demon…” Shen Luo's heart skipped a beat.

The extravagant trumpet flower on the vine flower demon's face had now grown even larger than its own body, its petals wide open like a blood basin. Within, countless writhing pistils seemed to reach out for Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian.

Smelling the potent, putrid scent coming from the flower's core, Shen Luo's head spun with dizziness, and he felt an urge to vomit.

He looked down and saw that the entire valley below had been completely overrun by the proliferating vine flower demon, and vines were rapidly spreading up the sides of the mountain walls as well. Clearly, there was no route of escape.

“No choice now, we must break out in one go…”

He waved his hand, and mana surged out from within him. A dragon horn spike appeared in front of him, and with a shimmering light, it emitted a loud Dragon Chant, charging fiercely at the flower demon's gaping maw.

The dragon horn spike shone brilliantly with golden light; a whole Golden Dragon coiled around it, hurtling with an irresistible force into the heart of the vine demon, only to be tightly ensnared by numerous pistils, greatly slowing its progress.

At the same time, a sword light followed closely behind. As it neared the pistils, the sound of the sword's hum intensified; dazzling light flickered along the sword body, and countless razor-sharp sword lights burst forth, severing most of the pistils in an instant.

However, the dragon horn spike was still being torn at by many pistils and couldn't break free immediately.

Just then, a pitch-black figure rushed past and plunged right into the flower, exploding with a shout near the dragon horn spike: “Vajra Guardian.”

The next instant, the darkness around him faded away as the naked torso of a Vajra Guardian emerged behind him, rising to strike a powerful punch in tandem with him.

The Vajra Guardian shone brightly, and in the instant of striking, dissipated into specks of light, all of which merged into Bai Xiaotian's fist, emitting a dazzling white light.

A dull thud echoed.

Bai Xiaotian's punch, containing the full power of the Vajra Guardian's divine might, heavily struck the tail end of the dragon horn spike.

The golden light on the dragon horn spike blended with the white light, instantly tearing through the pistils wrapped around it and shooting forward rapidly, causing the center of the trumpet flower to resonate with explosive sounds.

The very next moment, a loud boom resonated.

“Boom”

The entire trumpet flower burst open from the back, countless particles of golden light shooting out, tearing it into fragments.

With the sky suddenly brightening before him, Shen Luo didn't hesitate for a second and shot out. He grabbed the somewhat weakened Bai Xiaotian, recalled his magical treasure, and flew out of the valley.

After flying out of the valley for several miles and seeing no pursuers behind them, Shen Luo finally helped Bai Xiaotian to land slowly.

Both of them landed on the ground, each plopping down on their behinds.

“Man, that Vine Flower Demon was really fierce. If we had been ensnared by those saplings spawned from its spores, it would've been tough for us to get out,” Bai Xiaotian said, patting his chest with lingering fear.

“With that sort of creature hiding in the valley, there's no way Lin Xinyue didn't know about it. Let's rest for a moment and then go settle the score with her.” The thought of that woman deliberately leading them here filled Shen Luo with anger.

“Heh, Brother Shen, don't be in such a rush to get angry. I don't think Miss Lin necessarily did it on purpose,” Bai Xiaotian hastily said with an awkward laugh upon seeing Shen Luo's reaction.

“If it wasn't done on purpose, are you saying she was forced by someone else?” Shen Luo raised his eyebrow and said angrily.

“That's… not impossible, right?” Bai Xiaotian chuckled and said.

“I think you're truly bewitched beyond hope,” Shen Luo said with a stern look, glaring at Bai Xiaotian.

“I won't say any more, okay?” The latter immediately raised his hands in surrender.

Without paying him any more attention, Shen Luo thought for a moment, and a streak of light flashed before him, revealing a figure that appeared in front of him–it was Yuan Qiu.

“Master, what are your orders for calling me out?” Yuan Qiu asked.

“Release the Gu insect to search for someone for me,” Shen Luo instructed.

“Do you have something with their scent?” Yuan Qiu asked.

Shen Luo flipped his palm over, revealing a white jade box in his hand. With a snap, he opened it to show a fiery red plant stem inside–it was the very Wolf Poison Fire Ling he had plucked earlier.

“This flower was tainted by that woman's skirt. Sniff it and see, is there any scent left?” Shen Luo asked.

“Shen Luo, did you go and pick the flower earlier just for this?” Bai Xiaotian asked, surprised.

“That woman dared to touch the Wolf Poison Fire Ling with her bare hands; how could she be an ordinary person? Naturally, I had to be prepared,” Shen Luo said, glancing at him.

Yuan Qiu immediately took the jade box, simply fanning above the toxic flower with his hand before leaning in to sniff the air, frowning almost instantly.

“What's wrong? Is there something off?” Shen Luo promptly asked.

“There's nothing unusual; it's just that this Wolf Poison Fire Ling has a kind of fishy, stinking scent that's quite overpowering,” Yuan Qiu reported.

Upon hearing this, both Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian were taken aback, as they hadn't detected any scent at all.

“Master, the woman you're speaking of is most likely from the Fox Clan,” Yuan Qiu disclosed.

“The Fox Clan, that explains it. Have you been hit with their Soul-Attracting Secret Technique?” Shen Luo had a sudden realization and turned to look at Bai Xiaotian.

“Impossible, I haven't been affected by any Soul-Attracting Secret Technique,” Bai Xiaotian asserted with certainty.

“He indeed hasn't been affected by any illusion nor has his soul been seduced,” Yuan Qiu concurred.

“That's even worse, you've simply lost your soul then,” Shen Luo lamented upon hearing this.

While they were speaking, Yuan Qiu rubbed his fingers together and small green specks of light appeared in his palm. Four tiny green Gu insects, each about the size of a grain of rice, with silently flapping wings, darted out in four different directions.

Soon, a flash of light shimmered over the four Gu insects, and they vanished into the void.

It was only a dozen breaths later when Yuan Qiu suddenly widened his eyes and exclaimed, “Master, the person you're looking for is hiding nearby. She just killed one of my Gu insects just now.”
