Creak...
The Demonic Vine King was extremely fast, its mass of tentacles pouncing toward Yang Ling as they crackled in the air. Its sturdy tentacles lashed out toward Yang Ling in waves, not leaving any gaps as if it was a net, instantly sealing off Yang Ling’s path of escape. Yang Ling’s scalp crawled as if he was facing off against a mass of venomous snakes.
“Not good, quick, charge forward quickly!”
“Darn it, charge!”
...
Seeing that the terrifying Demonic Vine King was manically attacking Yang Ling in the air at the risk of its life, the group became immensely shocked, once again accelerating as they charged forward. Unfortunately, even the fastest amongst them, Richardson, was not able to reinforce Yang Ling in time. All he could do was look on helplessly as the mass of the Demonic Vine King’s tentacles surrounded Yang Ling.
The tentacles of the Demonic Vine King could instantly penetrate the body of a Dark Dragon, hailed as the strongest Magical Beast in terms of close combat ability, and crush its Essence Crystal. It was clear just how terrifying the tentacles of the Demonic Vine King were! Seeing the blanket of the Demonic Vine King’s tentacles surround Yang Ling like a net, everyone in the group became sick with worry.
They could not imagine the terrifying outcome of a million dagger-like tentacles piercing into his body!
“Space Bind!”
At the critical moment, Yang Ling decisively cast the Space Bind Wizard Technique, drastically decreasing the power and speed of the Demonic Vine King. In that instant, the tentacles that were an inch away from his face found it hard to move as if they had been petrified. They inched forward bit by bit like they were moving in slow motion, their speed even slower than that of a snail!
Buzz...
After halting the figure of the Demonic Vine King, Yang Ling took out the Battle Soul Blade behind his back without hesitation, then spun it around like a windmill to cleave off the end of the Demonic Vine King’s tentacles, leaving none of them behind. In that instant, the ends of the sturdy tentacles fell onto the ground like rain, forming a thick layer.
The tentacles of the Demonic Vine King were extremely sturdy, able to pierce through the tightly-knit scales of the Dark Dragon instantly. However, it was still much weaker compared to the sharp Battle Soul Blade in Yang Ling’s hands!
Ah...
The tentacles were connected to the body of the Demonic Vine king. After having a large number of its tentacles cleaved off by Yang Ling in an instant, the Demonic Vine King let out a pathetic howl as it trembled in pain. Bright red blood flowed out of its wounds like spring water. The Demonic Vine King had turned pale in an instant.
It would not be a problem if only one tentacle were bleeding, even if it did not stop the bleeding immediately. However, the situation was drastic now that tens of thousands of its tentacles were bleeding. Every injured tentacle was akin to a syringe being plunged into the Demonic Vine King’s body, drawing out blood from its body like a high-functioning blood pump.
The Demonic Vine King was not able to deal with this harsh punishment, no matter how much blood it had in its body or how powerful its abilities were!
After letting out a pathetic cry, the Demonic Vine King, having realized the dire situation, pulled its body back in retreat, attempting to hide within the immeasurably deep culvert once again so that it can make use of the complicated terrain within the culvert to avert the crisis. Unfortunately, under the influence of Yang Ling’s Binding Space, both its speed and power had been reduced drastically, and it was heavily surrounded by the group in the blink of an eye.
“Thunderbolt Windstorm!”
Richardson, who had abilities at the peak of a High-level Deity, was the first to arrive, fiercely bringing down his sword toward the Demonic Vine King’s neck. He wanted to slice off the ugly head of the creature in one stroke. The sword crackled as it sliced through the air. A ripple appeared wherever the giant sword passed, causing the air to contort and change. It looked like a mass of Space Cracks, making everyone’s skin crawl.
Whoosh...
The Demonic Vine King clenched its teeth as it raised its mass of tentacles, turning them into a dam to forcefully defend against Richardson’s giant sword, albeit having to pay a price of a few hundred tentacles. It then accelerated toward the culvert not far away. It accelerated time and time again, willing to pay any price to return to the culvert. Even though it had temporarily shaken off Richardson, it did not expect the calamity to have just begun!
It had not made it very far when the God of Swords Gerald, who had turned into a bolt of silver light together with his sword, charged toward it. Caught off guard, the Demonic Vine King could not avoid or dodge the attack in time, getting hit at the center of its brows. In that instant, it felt a sharp pain spread throughout its head. It was as if its entire head had been sliced into two, its soul almost scattering!
“Unfortunately, my power is lacking a little!”
The God of Swords Gerald shook his head regretfully, pulling back his sword as he retreated, avoiding the mass of protective tentacles of the Demonic Vine King. Originally, he had wanted to attack with full power and slice off the Demonic Vine King’s head before crushing its divinity. Unfortunately, even though he had severely injured the other party, he had been unable to inflict any lethal damage!
Even though it had taken the Fatal Blow of the God of Swords head-on with its powerful defenses, the situation was getting more and more dire for the Demonic Vine King!
Following behind the God of Swords Gerald, the Corpse Wizard King, Dark Dragon King, Hydra, Bald Mammoth Butler, and the rest of the group unleashed strong attacks, one after the other. The Demonic Vine King had just fended off a wave of attacks when Richardson and the God of Swords Gerald launched another wave of fierce attacks. Their attacks became faster and fiercer, never-ending like a wave!
The green giant summoned by the Chief Elven Priest arrived quickly, grabbing onto the well-developed roots of the Demonic Vine King with its alarming strength and pulling it down onto the ground from the air. The Thousand-handed Blood Vine had also rushed over together with the many Bloodsucking Vines, tangling up the tentacles of the Demonic Vine King with all their might...
The Demonic Vine King was incredibly strong and had been able to defeat anyone who barged into the culvert over the millennia using its powerful abilities, the complicated terrain within the culvert, and the countless Demonic Vines in its army.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the massive number of Demonic Vines had been frozen to become ice sculptures, and it was now left alone as an empty commander. Its speed and power had dropped drastically under the effects of Yang Ling’s Binding Space, and it was no longer a match for the group’s torrent of attacks. It soon became covered in wounds! More and more of its tentacles got severed from its body, some even sliced off from the roots or pulled out whole!
After being jolted awake from its long slumber within the culvert by Yang Ling and his group, the Demonic Vine King had wanted to charge out and unleash a massacre so that it could taste the flavor of human blood that it had not had for the longest time. It did not expect to face such an obstacle!
It had been easy for it to come out, but much more difficult to head back in!
“Blade Storm!”
The God of Swords Gerald fought harder and harder, unleashing a barrage of fierce attacks. He danced in the air like lightning, once again launching a fierce offensive. His lethal sword aura left behind indelible marks on the ground, his blanket of attacks leaving behind fresh wounds on the areas of the Demonic Vine King’s body that had just healed. In fact, his attacks even exacerbated the old wounds of the Demonic Vine King, making the Demonic Vine King, who had already lost a ton of blood, live through hell as if salt had been scattered on its wound!
“Corpse Explosion, explode, explode, explode!”
“Harder, pull harder, pull out the entire tentacle. One... Two... Three...”
...
The Corpse Wizard King launched a fierce attack, while the Giant Ape King was even more brutal. Seeing that it could not smash the hard tentacles of the Demonic Vine King, it decided to toss its heavy obsidian club to the side and join forces with the Dark Dragon King in pulling out the tentacles of the Demonic Vine King. It clenched its teeth and used all of the strength it had in its body!
Ah...
Under the fierce attacks of the group, the once unparalleled Demonic Vine King let out a pathetic wail before crashing down onto the ground, its body covered in blood. Its mass of tentacles had either been pulled out or sliced off by the enemy or was tangled up by the army of Bloodsucking Vines led by the Thousand-handed Blood Vine. It no longer had the strength to retaliate.
“Tsk tsk, taming a monster like this is definitely better than taming a dozen Low-level Divine Beasts!” Yang Ling was elated when he saw the severely injured Demonic Vine King. He consumed a few handfuls of Magical Beast Blood Orbs and a few drops of Water from the Spring of Life to replenish the Wizard Power and Mental Energy he used quickly, then walked quickly toward the Demonic Vine King. Unexpectedly, he had just taken a few steps when an accident occurred!
“Thunderbolt Windstorm!
Perhaps he had slipped into a frenzy during the battle, or that he was trying to display his immense strength in front of the demoness, Richardson pounced toward the Demonic Vine King that as sprawled on the ground and unleashed another wave of manic attacks. His giant sharp sword pierced into the brain of the Demonic Vine King without mercy, instantly shattering the latter’s divinity and killing it completely. He was incredibly fast, giving no one the time to stop him!
A super fighter that had been hard to come by was gone just like that!
Seeing the Demonic Vine King lying motionlessly on the ground, then seeing Richardson flex his muscles in front of the demoness, Yang Ling shook his head bitterly. He wanted to kick the latter’s butt. He had thought that there would be another super fighter in the Magical Beast Army after he tamed the Demonic Vine King. He did not expect Richardson to foil his plans in the blink of an eye completely!
Whoosh...
Just as Yang Ling was thinking about how he could make use of the dead creature and was wondering if he could use the sturdy tentacles of the Demonic Vine to create a batch of strong weapons, an accident occurred!
The Thousand-handed Blood Vine let out a weird squeal, pouncing onto the body of the Demonic Vine King like a rat that had just caught the scent of meat. Its mass of tentacles spread out like a web, then coiled tightly around the corpse of the Demonic Vine King. It pushed the sharp stingers on its tentacles into the body of the Demonic Vine King, manically absorbing the latter’s energy. It did not miss any of the energy released by the shattered divinity of the Demonic Vine King, absorbing it all as if it was quenching its thirst. Soon, streaks of black light appeared on its blood-red body, its color getting deeper and deeper.
Devour?
Witnessing this strange scene, Yang Ling quickly remembered the ability of the Blood Vine. He instructed the group to spread out and kept the ordinary Bloodsucking Vines into the Wizard Pagoda’s Space as he silently observed the transformation happening before him. Through the Soul Imprint he had left behind when he tamed the creature, he knew that the Thousand-handed Blood Vine was in the midst of manically absorbing the energy of the Demonic Vine King and was obtaining an immense benefit. However, no one knew just what it would become after it had finished devouring the Demonic Vine King!
