"Who has the ability to kill us?" Cui Huai scoffed.
"Chen Nan, you are the one who deserves to die!"
"Not only you, but even your uncle will perish in the hands of Lord Blood Emperor!"
The Golden Core realm powerhouses in the distance laughed heartily!
Cui Huai's eyes were cold. "Chen, use whatever means you have. Let me see how strong you are... Pfft..."
Before he could finish speaking, an unexpected scene occurred!
A verdant vine shot out from the ground, like a green light, piercing Cui Huai's posterior and entering his body!
"What the hell is this thing?"
The intense pain made Cui Huai scream. He instinctively raised his sword, intending to sever the vine beneath him!
But at that moment!
A green vine, more than half a meter long, emerged from his mouth!
"Wh-why... How is there a... spirit beast here..." Cui Huai's body rapidly aged, and his consciousness gradually blurred!
The Immortal Slaying Vine not only devoured the cultivators' flesh and blood but also their souls!
In the span of a single breath, Cui Huai's body turned into a desiccated corpse!
Bizarre!
Terrifying!
The sight sent shivers down everyone's spines, leaving them chilled to the bone!
That was a cultivator at the ninth level of the Golden Core realm!
Who would have thought that he would be instantly killed by a vine on the spot?
Even witnessing it with their own eyes, they found it hard to accept!
"This spirit beast is very strong. Everyone, be careful and dodge, don't let it hit you!" Lu Tong roared, then fixed his gaze on Chen Nan. He knew that this spirit beast was Chen Nan's last trump card!
As he spoke, a vine emerged from the ground in front of him, attacking him!
"Die!"
Lu Tong unleashed a stream of flames, attempting to incinerate the vine!
After all, vines belonged to the wood element, and fire was their nemesis!
Regrettably, the vine was completely unaffected, passing through the flames Lu Tong had unleashed!
"Not good!"
Lu Tong cried out in alarm. He instantly drew his sword!
Terrifying sword qi, piece by piece, severed the vine into sections!
The emerald green sap that dripped onto the ground even emitted a faint glow!
A hint of disdain flashed in Lu Tong's eyes. "In my opinion, it's nothing special!"
Crack!
Crack, crack!
Crack, crack, crack!
Without any warning, cracking sounds echoed from all around!
It was as if the heavens themselves were cracking!
This caused the Golden Core realm powerhouses to wear grave expressions!
Something unusual must be afoot!
Although Lu Tong had just killed one vine, no one dared to underestimate the spirit beast!
After all, it had just killed Cui Huai, a cultivator at the ninth level of the Golden Core realm!
Puff, puff, puff!
Suddenly!
The ground cracked!
Countless vines erupted from the earth at that moment, covering everywhere. Each vine writhed like a spirit snake, and every leaf on them seemed like a sharp blade!
"Immortal Slaying Vine, this is the fabled spirit beast, the Immortal Slaying Vine!"
Someone recognized the Immortal Slaying Vine, turning pale with fright and collapsing to the ground!
"Heavens, how can such a terrifying existence still exist in this world?"
"Run!"
"Indeed, if we stay here, we will all die!"
The Immortal Slaying Vine, a forbidden item!
This thing possessed a dreadful characteristic!
For instance, if it devoured a Golden Core realm cultivator, its strength would reach the Golden Core realm, and it would be invincible within that realm!
Although the Blood Emperor had over a hundred Golden Core experts under his command, they didn't believe they could defeat the Immortal Slaying Vine!
"Ah!"
"Get away!"
"Don't eat me!"
The Blood Emperor's subordinates tried to escape, but the Immortal Slaying Vine gave them no chance!
Vine after vine ensnared their ankles and waists, dragging them into the ground in an instant!
Even though some people temporarily dodged the Immortal Slaying Vine's attacks!
But!
They had no idea where to escape!
Because the surrounding thunderclouds had already gathered, and the elders of the Huashan Sword Sect were undergoing tribulations!
At this moment, they were truly calling out to the heavens with no response, and to the earth with no access!
"Chen Nan, you are truly ruthless and vicious to have raised the Immortal Slaying Vine and let it harm us! Aren't you afraid of heavenly retribution for such actions?"
A furious roar from the Blood Emperor echoed through the air!
He never expected Chen Nan to possess such a means!
If it weren't for that damned man in green, he would have been able to escape this place with his cultivation!
But now!
The man in green was holding him back!
Chen Nan laughed in anger. "I am ruthless and vicious?"
"I harm you?"
"I face heavenly retribution?"
At this point, his eyes suddenly turned icy. "You sent people to seize the Huashan Sword Sect, resulting in the deaths of over a thousand of my Huashan Sword Sect disciples. Did you not consider then that you were harming others?"
"As for heavenly retribution... I, Chen Nan, have lived a life of integrity and have a clear conscience. How can I fear heavenly retribution?"
The Blood Emperor was enraged. "But the Immortal Slaying Vine is a forbidden item, an evil entity. Your collusion with it goes against the will of heaven!"
Chen Nan was amused. "Cultivation is inherently going against the heavens. Are you telling me it goes against the will of heaven?"
"Lord Blood Emperor, save me! I don't want to..."
"Why is it that after leaving hell, we now have to go to true hell?"
The Golden Core realm experts brought by the Blood Emperor's mentality had collapsed!
After finally escaping the eighteenth small world, although it was called hell, it was merely a harsh environment!
And now, they were about to go to true hell!
"I don't want to die..."
A desperate scream echoed from afar!
He had escaped from Cangyun Peak but accidentally entered someone else's thundercloud!
Instantly triggering heavenly lightning, his soul was scattered!
Of course, he was not the only one in this situation!
Several Golden Core realm experts had escaped Cangyun Peak and the range of the Immortal Slaying Vine's attacks!
But all directions were covered by thunderclouds!
No way to heaven!
No escape to earth!
The Blood Emperor's heart felt as if it were being cut by a knife!
He had brought over a hundred Golden Core realm experts!
But now, in the blink of an eye, more than half were killed or injured!
He felt his heart bleeding!
"Chen Nan, no more fighting. I am willing to extend a hand of peace to you, and I am willing to offer condolences and repent to the fallen disciples of Cangyun Peak!" the Blood Emperor let out a frustrated low growl!
He knew!
If he didn't surrender now, all the men he brought would be devoured by the Immortal Slaying Vine!
Chen Nan shook his head. "I'm sorry, I gave you a chance, but you didn't seize it!"
The Blood Emperor was enraged. "What do you mean?"
Chen Nan's eyes gleamed with coldness, his killing intent surging. "I will make all of you pay with your lives for the fallen disciples of Cangyun Peak!"
"You are going too far! You are truly going too far!"
The Blood Emperor unleashed a mountain-shattering, tsunami-like aura. "You are merely relying on this spirit beast to dare oppose me. If it weren't for it, you would have died eight hundred times over!"
"Since you want to kill us all, then I will perish with you!"
"Everyone, listen to my command!"
"Self-destruct your Golden Cores! Even if we die, we will make Chen Nan and this spirit beast pay for us!"
Chen Nan's expression changed!
An ominous premonition surged through him!
The simultaneous self-destruction of so many Golden Cores was comparable to a nuclear weapon!
Not only would Cangyun Peak be flattened, but even those eighteen elders undergoing tribulations would have their souls scattered!
The Golden Boy's voice echoed in Chen Nan's mind. "Master, do not worry. I can take them into the immortal mansion for you to deal with as you please."
