Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 347: The Birth of a Tragedy
As the earth shook violently, Gu Xiaoxing's face changed drastically and he wanted to soar into the sky.
However, at this moment, the withered tree man in the sky that had been motionless suddenly spread out countless vines, covering it like a big net.
At the same time, countless dead vines rose from under the ground. In an instant, all around Gu Xiaoxing were covered by dead vines.
This made him look grim, and he finally understood that the reason why the man standing there motionless was not because he had not made any move, but because he was playing dirty tricks.
The area was covered with dead vines on all sides, and countless more were entwined around it. Gu Xiaoxing made up his mind, without dodging or evading, he directly sacrificed the innate talisman!
"Burn you up!"
The next moment, the fire on the mountain erupted completely, covering the entire area and completely covering the countless dead vines.
But to Gu Xiaoxing's surprise, the mountain fire that could easily roast a demon beast in the late Nascent Soul stage could not do anything to the dry vine!
In just a moment, he understood that this withered tree man came from the Yangtian Realm. To be able to survive in a place that was burning all the time, he must have a strong resistance to fire.
Just as Gu Xiaoxing was stunned, those dead vines had already wrapped around him. They were flashing with a faint golden light and passed through the endless mountain fires without being affected at all.
Gu Xiaoxing reacted quickly. His expression condensed and the black Ruyi instantly enveloped his body. Countless withered vines descended the next moment, bombarded the black Ruyi, and then entangled it.
As more and more dead vines entangled around, the Black Ruyi was gradually wrapped into a huge ball. The dead vines covered it layer by layer, and under the intense pressure, a "crunching" sound continued to be made.
If it was the Black Ruyi from before, it might not be able to bear it at this moment and would be crushed to pieces.
But after the last strengthening, Hei Ruyi is no longer the same as before.
Circles of golden lines on it kept flashing, making the Black Ruyi look extremely solid. Even facing such heavy pressure, it could still withstand it without any cracks!
But despite this, as more and more dead vines entangled it, the Black Ruyi gradually began to shrink.
Gu Xiaoxing's expression changed. He took back the innate talisman and used the Nine Seas Technique to resist the pressure from the withered vine together with Hei Ruyi.
His eyes flickered, and suddenly he focused, muttering, "That's right... Fire doesn't overcome wood, but... Metal overcomes wood!"
As he spoke, nine small swords of truth appeared and surrounded his body. Immediately, countless sword essences condensed and directly formed nine swords of truth!
On the other side of the sky, fire and blood continued to explode, and the space shook at least ten times with every breath. It was the red moon and the fire giant that were constantly colliding violently!
Whether it is the fire giant or the blood-colored fox transformed from the red moon, they both contain extremely terrifying power, so that every time they collide, a violent impact will burst out.
They fought fiercely from high in the sky to the ground, and with just one bombardment, the intense impact force directly blew a thousand-mile-wide crater in the ground, which was terrifying.
The blood fox, in particular, seemed to be at ease in such a fierce fight, and its strength did not decrease at all from beginning to end.
On the other hand, the Fire Giant was gradually beginning to show signs of weakness, and the fight became more and more frightening.
If five late Nascent Soul cultivators had not merged into his body and formed a great formation, greatly increasing his strength, he would probably have been defeated by now.
This made the fire giant feel gloomy. The opponent's power seemed endless, and he became more and more courageous as the battle went on. The molten fire formation in his body was almost unable to hold on. If he continued, he would only lose!
At this moment, the blood fox seized an opportunity, and all four tails came together to strike down fiercely.
The giant was shocked and thought to himself that something was wrong, but in this split second he could only block with his arms.
The next moment, the terrifying force directly created several cracks on his arms, and the whole person was blown back, with a huge flaw!
If Red Moon took advantage of the victory and intensified the offensive at this time, the Giant might not be able to hold on for long and would be defeated.
However, she did not chase after him, but turned around without hesitation and rushed towards an area in the distance that was entangled by countless dead vines, while cursing him in her heart as a burden!
While charging forward, Hongyue's blood fox incarnation gradually began to grow larger, from a few feet to dozens of feet, truly turning into an unparalleled ferocious beast!
Those withered vines seemed to sense something as well, and immediately split into dozens of branches to meet the attack, like dozens of snakes swimming in the air, incredibly fast.
But the blood fox did not retreat at all, and kept moving forward. Facing the dead vines coming towards her, she could often easily dodge them with a flash. Then she would sweep her bloody tail, and the sharp base of the tail was like a sharp blade, cutting off the dead vines in an instant!
Then, the blood fox turned into a residual shadow, constantly moving and dodging among the dead vines, as if it was dancing quickly and gracefully. Dozens of dead vines could not catch it at all, and most of them were cut off in an instant.
But then, hundreds or even thousands of dead vines came entwining and entwining...
In the distance, the fire giant felt relieved and five balls of light and fire floated out from his body.
Compared with before, these five balls of light and fire have become extremely dim. When the light and fire dissipated, what was revealed were five cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage.
Their faces were pale. The intense consumption had already caused them to lose a lot of their essence. Their cultivation had also been reduced by 80%. At this moment, they were still frightened.
If they continued to fight for a while, they would probably die from excessive exhaustion.
Suddenly, several people were startled. A huge figure stood in front of them . Immediately, a bad premonition appeared in their hearts.
The fire giant looked at them with a grim smile on his face, "When the firewood is burned out, use your life fire to bloom the last rays of light."
Upon hearing this, several people showed expressions of fear, and some even stood up and wanted to escape, but it was too late.
The fire giant suddenly made a hand gesture, and a crack appeared between his eyebrows. A small furnace flew out from the crack.
With the appearance of the furnace, the five people were terrified to the extreme. They were already over-consumed, and the huge gap in cultivation between the two sides meant that they had no way to escape.
A huge pulling force suddenly appeared and sucked them directly into the furnace. Then, the furnace glowed brightly, as if extremely high-quality firewood was burning inside.
When the furnace flew back into the crack between the fire giant's eyebrows, the giant's body shook, and not only were the injuries from the previous battle slowly recovering, but even the aura of his cultivation began to rise!
On the other side, Hongyue had already rushed into thousands of dead vines, but even so many dead vines could not do anything to her.
Later on, Hongyue even became a little annoyed with dodging and simply stopped dodging and charged forward.
Her huge body was frantically stirring four blood tails that were dozens of feet long, turning her into a crusher, and all the dead vines that came her way were shattered.
Then, Hongyue jumped high, ready to attack the layers of dead vines wrapped around to rescue the burden first.
Although she wanted to ignore it, she thought that if that hateful man really died, she would not be able to go back and explain to the Saint.
Hongyue can ignore anyone, but she must follow the instructions of the Saint Lady!
But at this moment, an angry voice came from inside the withered vine.
"Break it for your lonely grandfather!"
The next moment, the nine swords of truth gathered together and formed a sword spin. It spun madly like a sharp cone that could pierce through everything. It rushed straight up and forcibly broke a big hole in the countless dead vines that were entangled!
And Gu Xiaoxing followed closely behind Jian Xuan and successfully rushed out!
However, when he saw everything clearly in front of him, he was suddenly stunned, because above him, in addition to Jian Xuan, there was also a huge fox.
The big fox was also stunned. She was ready to take action, but she didn't expect Gu Xiaoxing to rush out by herself. But suddenly, a look of fear appeared on her face.
Because the sword that pierced the withered vine cage did not stop, but continued to stab towards her, and it was too late to dodge.
Everything happened too suddenly!
Gu Xiaoxing's expression also changed drastically, and he quickly controlled the Nine Swords of Truth to stop. However, because he had accumulated too much power before, he could not stop instantly.
It was in the next moment that tragedy occurred.
The nine swords spun wildly, carrying with them terrifying piercing force, and pierced the big fox's lower body.
That part... is very delicate!
It has to be said that the Nine Swords of Truth were indeed extremely powerful. Even though Gu Xiaoxing had tried his best to stop them, the swords were still very powerful. In just a moment, they had already drilled a hole in a certain part of the big fox's lower body.
In an instant, Hongyue felt her mind go blank, even though her real body was hiding in the incarnation and was not harmed at all.
But no matter what, the blood fox incarnation was her true form. Now that there was a hole in her lower body, she could feel it.
That feeling made her extremely ashamed and angry, and humiliated to the extreme, until she completely lost her mind.
The Nine Swords of Truth and the Blood Fox were only a touch away. Gu Xiaoxing looked at the big hole in the strange part of the Blood Fox's body. His scalp gradually felt numb and a bad premonition arose.
Especially, when he saw the blood fox's eyes completely engulfed by a touch of red, he panicked, and without any hesitation, he turned around and ran, directly using his Fang Cun magical power to escape thousands of miles away in one step!
Then, a horrifying scene happened!
Even though he was thousands of miles away, Gu Xiaoxing could hear the soul-shaking roar. He didn't dare to get close, but could only use his spiritual power to spread over and watch secretly.
After this earth-shattering roar, there was no longer any clarity in Hongyue's eyes.
Whether it was the real little fox inside or the external incarnation of the blood fox, all of them had bloodshot eyes. At this moment, the red moon truly transformed into... a ferocious beast.
Below her, among the countless dead vines, the figure of the dead tree man appeared. Having lost Gu Xiaoxing as a target, he shifted his attention to the big fox above.
In an instant, tens of thousands of dead vines rose into the air!
Not only that, the fire giant in the distance suddenly appeared, and his aura was even stronger than before. He rushed towards the blood fox and was about to fight again, and a voice was heard at the same time.
"You and I will first team up to capture and kill this monster, and then we can go find the other pest!"
However, they have not yet realized the seriousness of the matter!
Endless blood energy suddenly rose around Hongyue, and the blood fox's body size increased again!
Hundreds of feet...
Thousands of feet...
Until... tens of thousands of feet!
