Chapter 67 Evil Spirits in the Forest
Fairy Li?
Pei Ling could not help but gasp. Before he could think, Fairy Li pulled his hand and gestured for him to follow her to a clump of vines at the side.
Where is she taking me… Pei Ling vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but he felt that he could not disobey the person in front of him.
He instinctively followed her for a few steps, and the ominous feeling in his heart became stronger. He took advantage of an opening and bit the tip of his tongue hard. The pain woke him up for a moment, but he realized that he had unknowingly walked into the vines alone. His three Foundation Establishment companions were gone!
Pei Ling was shocked and quickly wanted to pull his hand out of ‘Fairy Li’s’ grip. At the same time, he opened his mouth to ask for help. However, ‘Fairy Li’ held his hand tightly like an iron hoop, refusing to let go.
Pei Ling tried his best to call for help, but he could not make any sound. It was as if he was in a nightmare.
As if sensing his struggle, “Fairy Li” became even more charming. She even took the initiative to unbutton one side of her shirt, revealing half of her shoulders. She looked at him coquettishly.
However, at this time, even if the real Fairy Li was here and he knew that she had ulterior motives, how could Pei Ling be fooled?
He struggled for a while but to no avail. His mind was dizzy and he began to pass into oblivion. He knew that the situation was not good. With his last bit of consciousness, he pulled out the Life-Extinguishing Blade behind him and slashed at ‘Fairy Li’ in front of him!
“Fairy Li” could not help but turn pale as she tried to hide in his arms. Seeing this, Pei Ling reached out without hesitation and broke her neck.
“Crack!”
The crisp sound of a neck breaking could be heard. At the same time, the surrounding vines seemed to freeze for a moment. Immediately, ‘Fairy Li’s’ corpse swelled and instantly turned into a blue-faced, sharp-toothed, twisted, and ferocious demon. This evil spirit was more than 30 feet taller than Pei Ling. Its cheeks were engraved with complicated patterns. It had horns on its head and three long steel tails behind its hips. They were like the feathers of a peacock. The ends of the long tails were sharp like awls and shone with a black light. One could tell their lethality at a glance.
It was naked and muscular, only covered by a blood-colored cloth around its chest and waist. From the rise and fall of its chest, it was actually a female ghost!
Perhaps because of its gender, it was wearing a garland that did not match its appearance.
The garland was made of blood-colored vines and decorated with pure white flower buds. It looked dreamy and beautiful.
The evil spirit’s blood-red eyes were filled with killing intent. It lowered its head and glanced coldly at Pei Ling. Suddenly, a long tail whistled as it pierced downwards!
Pei Ling was still held tightly by it. Seeing that he could not dodge, he made up his mind and changed the direction of the Life-Extinguishing Blade, slashing at his imprisoned arm.
“Wake up!” At the critical moment, a cold shout was heard. Pei Ling’s mind spun. When he looked up again, the scenery around him had changed drastically. The evil ghost had disappeared. The wooden stick in his hand had become a vine. Countless tiny roots grew from the vines and pierced deep into his palm. As he breathed, they absorbed his blood.
Ouyang Xianxing was dressed in plain clothes. The white cloth on her head fluttered, and her eyes were as cold as the stars. She was using two slender fingers to grab the blade of the Life-Extinguishing Blade and stop it at a spot that had touched Pei Ling’s skin.
Xue Ying, who was leading the way for Pei Ling, was nowhere to be seen.
Pei Ling’s heart sank. He had been following Xue Ying carefully, but now it was Ouyang Xianxing who was leading the team… Could it be that Xue Ying could not even protect himself? Or was this person doing this on purpose?
There was no time to ask Ouyang Xianxing. As if furious that the illusion had been broken, the surrounding vines were silent for a moment before they erupted in unison. Countless branches wrapped around Pei Ling and Ouyang Xianxing!
“Stay here. Stay within 10 feet by my side.” Ouyang Xianxing frowned slightly and reminded Pei Ling. Then she reached out her left hand. Her originally pale nails grew rapidly in the wind and became an inch long almost instantly. The color turned to ink, and they looked strange and terrifying. With just one stroke, she cut off the vine that was stuck in Pei Ling’s palm. When the vine was cut off, what flowed out was not the sap of a plant, but blood.
Immediately after, Ouyang Xianxing’s aura rose. In an instant, it reached a level that made Pei Ling’s heart skip a beat. Her ten nails grew longer at the same time, and her arms crossed. With a sudden slash, ten black claw marks spread out with her as the center, cutting off all the vines that surrounded her.
Pei Ling was delighted. This senior sister is so powerful!
Ouyang Xianxing, on the other hand, had a grave expression. There was no smugness on her face as she pulled Pei Ling and ran.
Pei Ling was puzzled when he saw new vines growing on the ground. Then more vines wrapped around the two of them.
Before they could run far, countless old and new vines chased after them. Ouyang Xianxing turned her fingers into claws and crushed the vines that wrapped around the two of them.
At this moment, a flower bud suddenly extended from the vines. It was pure white and flawless, like the flower that bloomed on the head of an evil ghost in an illusion.
After the flower bud appeared, it bloomed quickly. The fresh and elegant fragrance of flowers instantly filled the forest. Although Pei Ling immediately held his breath, he was still in a daze as an illusion formed in his mind. In his daze, Fairy Li appeared. Her skin was fairer than snow, and her black dress trailed on the ground.
Ouyang Xianxing snorted coldly and took out a talisman. The talisman turned into flames and hit the bud, burning it. The fragrance of the flower disappeared quickly. Only then did Pei Ling wake up.
Before Pei Ling could heave a sigh of relief, his calf tightened and he almost fell on the spot. He looked down and saw a vine emerging from the ground and wrapping around his calf. Moreover, the vine had already pierced his calf.
Ouyang Xianxing sensed that something was wrong and tore the vines apart. However, with this delay, the vines behind her caught up and surrounded the two of them again.
The vines stabbed at the two of them. Ouyang Xianxing’s hands turned into black claws to face the enemy. In a short moment, she tore apart countless vines, and more and more vines were killed. The black claws were quickly stained with blood.
Seeing that the many vines could not do anything to the two of them, more and more flowers bloomed in the vine forest.
Ouyang Xianxing snorted coldly and took out the fire talisman again to hit the bud.
The vines changed again, producing thorns that rained down on the two of them.
Ouyang Xianxing’s fingers danced with countless afterimages as she blocked all the vines.
A vine suddenly extended from behind Ouyang Xianxing and stabbed at her head.
Pei Ling hurriedly swung the Life-Extinguishing Blade at the vine.
“Slam!”
With a muffled sound, Pei Ling’s hands went numb. Not only did he fail to block the vine, he was almost sent flying by the recoil!
Pei Ling was shocked. He did not have time to remind her, but at this moment, Ouyang Xianxing did not even turn around. The vine was suddenly cut into several pieces by five claw marks and scattered on the ground…
Pei Ling heaved a sigh of relief inwardly, but before he could be happy, the scene in front of him changed. He had returned to the Pei family and there seemed to be countless eyes staring at him from behind. He turned around and saw the beauties in the painting looking at him intently. Their eyes were filled with desire and greed. They could not wait to pull him into the painting and skin him alive…
“Boom!”
An explosion sounded in his ears. Pei Ling suddenly came back to his senses. His cultivation level was too low and he had unknowingly fallen into the Dream Sensing Forest’s trap.
Pei Ling quickly sized up his surroundings and felt his scalp tingle. The more vines he killed, the more vines there were. When he was in the dream just now, he did not know how many vines Ouyang Xianxing had cut. Now the number of blood vines around them was so high that they covered the sky. Now he could not even tell east from west, let alone escape!
