The other Medicine King Valley disciples were pale, filled with terror.
"You abomination!"
Pharmacist Xu’s smile vanished, his expression stern and serious, with a flash of harshness in his eyes, though not much sorrow.
He shouted angrily, almost simultaneously as the disciple fell to the ground, his wide sleeve fiercely flicking!
Buzz—
Pure and immense spiritual power surged out from his sleeve like a tide, transforming into countless sharp light green wind blades!
"Gale Slaughter Technique—All Qi are Blades!"
The light green wind blades swirled and attacked, trying to cut the demon vine into a thousand pieces.
Chi-chi-chi-chi—!
The dark green vine was severed in several sections, spraying out dark green viscous fluid.
Pharmacist Xu sternly warned, "This liquid is poisonous, hold your breath!"
Everyone hurriedly followed suit.
Meanwhile, Chen Ye silently covered his disciple’s small mouth with one hand and her eyes with the other, protecting her in his embrace.
After this strike,
The remaining section of the demon vine retracted in pain, and the severed end fell to the ground along with the half corpse.
The disciples hurried forward to retrieve the body of their fallen comrade.
Medicine King Valley had lost a disciple; the scene was chaotic and bloody, many wearing expressions of sorrow.
But that Elder Xu...
Chen Ye’s gaze shifted towards the elder.
This person acted decisively, with pure and immense spiritual power, and the magic’s power was astonishing.
Clearly, he could have saved the disciple at the first moment, but he didn’t.
He merely watched as the disciple was pierced through, only then making a move to cut the vine.
It seemed as if the disciple’s life was just a consumable for him to observe the demon vine’s nature.
"Hmph, these people are all alike... How are they any different from those cultivators of the Lingyin Sect?"
Chen Ye sighed. He had seen the cultivators of Medicine King Valley getting along harmoniously and thought they were different from other sects.
Unexpectedly, they were still just the same flock of jackals.
"Compose yourselves! First team, hold your ground! Second team, set up the Thorn Formation!"
Pharmacist Xu immediately commanded the shocked disciples to form a defense, while cautiously surveying the direction of the stone stele where the demon vine was hiding,
"Be careful of other directions!"
A faint light flashed on the storage ring on his right hand, and a jade-like purple jade flute appeared between his fingers.
This was a Second Tier magical artifact!
Pharmacist Xu coldly snorted, his spiritual might like a tide, as the purple jade flute emitted an endless and mysterious spiritual brilliance.
The disciples watching quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
With Master Xu here, they would surely be safe and sound!
"Master, why haven’t we left yet..." Zhiwei secretly transmitted his voice.
Thanks to the special environment in the grotto heaven, divine sense was isolated, so even transmitting near Pharmacist Xu, he wouldn’t easily notice.
"Little White once said within the Wood Domain, it appears peaceful on the surface, but is fraught with dangers. If we follow the Medicine King Valley’s team, we can let them be our pathfinders... avoiding calamities."
Chen Ye pinched the soft little hand of the girl, grinning mischievously,
"Zhiwei, could you be scared? Hmm, that’s right. This demon vine is bloody and brutal, Zhiwei is just a little girl, being afraid is normal."
"Master!" the little girl grew angry, "Zhiwei is not a little girl, nor is she afraid!"
"Master meant to say, if Zhiwei is afraid, just hold Master tightly..."
Chen Ye smiled as he patted her tender back, his fingertips playing with her smooth black hair.
Teasing his disciple, Chen Ye felt a bit less tense inside.
He watched the disciples of Medicine King Valley trying to hunt the demon vine while holding, hmm, a soft and fragrant little doll in his hands like watching a movie.
"..."
Zhiwei took a deep breath, expressionlessly pressing down Master’s hand, casting a cold glance at him,
"Master, please be serious!"
"Alright, alright..."
Chen Ye sighed, yet luckily, there was still the little white fox in his hands.
"Meep?"
The little white fox tilted its head, but before Chen Ye’s hand reached it, it jumped onto Zhiwei’s other shoulder.
Damn!
Chen Ye missed Little Qingjun dearly, that girl clung to him!
"Meep-meep! Meep-meep-meep."
The little white fox seriously gestured with its tiny claws, pointing towards the outside demon vine.
Chen Ye’s expression shifted slightly: "Are you saying you know this demon vine?"
"Meep-meep!" The little white fox hesitated, nodding, then shaking its head.
It meant that in the past, it followed the clan chief to the edge of the Wood Domain, which was this place.
Back then, there was also a demon vine here.
But that demon vine only had a Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer cultivation, while this demon vine before them is at least Foundation Establishment level.
"Then they can’t be the same one..." Chen Ye chuckled, the cultivation gap was far too large.
The little white fox, however, was perplexed, rubbing its paws: "Meep-meep..."
Yet the aura of this demon vine seemed familiar, but since they were from the same race, similarity was only natural, right?
The little white fox couldn’t help but recall back then.
At that time, this demon vine initially wanted to eat it, but fortunately, the clan chief was powerful and subdued the demon vine at once.
However, their White Fox Race was the kindest of all!
Even though the demon vine wanted to eat it, it didn’t want to kill it, only drawing a little star on its main vine...
But because of this, it never dared to return to the One Unison Stele later.
Yes, that’s right.
Back then, the clan chief reinforced the little star for it, it wouldn’t disappear.
And the main vine of this demon vine clearly had no star.
...
Under Pharmacist Xu’s orders, the Medicine King Valley disciples formed formations, lights of magic and talismans flared up, striking towards the section of demon vine that had been severed and was shrinking back behind the stone stele!
Rocks flew, dust filled the air. That section of vine seemed severely injured, retreating faster.
"Look! It’s hurt!" A disciple shouted in delight, their morale slightly uplifted.
"Form the prison cage formation, trap its stem and roots, don’t let it sneak and attack again!"
Pharmacist Xu sat in the center, his eyes flashing with green light, the purple jade flute in his hand flowing with azure brilliance, ready to unleash an even more powerful killing move at any time.
