Chapter 265 Joining Forces to Counterattack, Innate Skills
The visitor was none other than the patriarch of the Bai family.
His face was twisted and ferocious, his blood-red eyes filled with madness and greed as he stared intently at the white crystal in Chu Lengyu's hand.
He glanced at the various Innate Realm cultivators in Huai Valley, and then he remembered the many Bai Family Innate Realm cultivators he had disemboweled in the ancestral hall. His lips parted, and he grinned savagely.
His voice was hoarse and deep: "Blood food! After eating this blood food, I will definitely be able to break through the bottleneck and achieve the supreme Dao! Haha!"
Before the words were even finished, those eerie vines, carrying a sharp killing intent and a chilling aura, rushed towards the group!
Upon seeing this, Duanmu Man, who was sitting on the outermost edge, changed his expression drastically and exclaimed in surprise, "What is that thing?!"
He moved nimbly and quickly dodged, narrowly avoiding the first attack of the vines.
But he was filled with fear and unease, for he had never seen such a strange and powerful enemy.
Moreover, this is Fog Mountain, which should be the safest place in the world. How could such a monster be allowed to grow to this extent?
As the vines ran rampant, the entire Locust Valley descended into chaos.
The vines seemed endless, constantly surging in from all directions, leaving no place to escape.
Jiang Li moved nimbly, dodging the onslaught of the vines while swiftly drawing her sword from her waist. With a flash of silver light, the blade slashed fiercely at the rampaging vines.
Surprisingly, the blade that was usually so effective seemed to strike hard steel as it cut through the vines, producing a clang and sparks flying.
In just one exchange, Jiang Li felt a tingling numbness in her wrist, nearly getting injured, and the knife almost slipped from her hand.
Her expression changed drastically, a solemn look instantly settling over her brows. She was secretly horrified, realizing that she had encountered a terrifying opponent she had never seen before.
Meanwhile, Luo Yu, clutching his bulging cloth bag, dodged and weaved through the gaps in the vines, looking rather disheveled.
He muttered curses under his breath: "Where did this monster come from? It's even uglier than those ugly monsters in the sea!"
It's no wonder he said that; the appearance of the Bai family patriarch at this moment was too horrifying to look at.
He could no longer be considered human; his body and limbs had all turned to wood, and his skin had taken on a strange bluish-gray hue, as if it had been eroded by some kind of force.
It looked like a human head hanging on the body of a vine-like wood sprite, and the face was pale, old, and full of wrinkles, with only a pair of blood-red eyes that were exceptionally sharp, flashing with a mad light.
The vines' attacks grew increasingly fierce, each lash accompanied by a whistling wind, destroying vegetation and raising clouds of dust wherever they went.
Jiang Li and Luo Yu fought and retreated, both knowing in their hearts that today's battle was likely to end badly.
As the vines attacked, Madam Lan reacted swiftly, grabbing Elder Merlin and Yi Xiaoqi with ease, one in each hand, and then leaping away with a light touch of her toes.
The vines followed closely behind, digging deep into the ground and creating large craters. Yi Xiaoqi was terrified at the sight and didn't know how to react.
Madam Lan was the most senior, having visited the Bai family and seen a portrait of the Bai family's patriarch.
At this moment, she stared at the monster before her, utterly terrified, and dared not recognize it.
Aside from the similarity in facial features and bone structure, the monster's appearance was vastly different from the dignified and amiable Bai family patriarch in the portrait, making her almost doubt her own judgment.
If this really is the patriarch of the Bai family, then how long has he lived, and how did he end up looking like this, neither human nor ghost?!
Faced with this sudden attack, no one dared to be careless in the slightest.
"Everyone be careful, this monster is no ordinary creature!" The Holy Maiden of the Dark Moon stepped forward and immediately used the Burning Moon Holy Scripture.
Her face was solemn, her hands moved quickly in a mudra, and she chanted incantations as if she were reciting an ancient spell.
A silver full moon slowly rose behind her, radiating dazzling light and forcing back the vines.
"Hmph!" Palace Master Chrysanthemum was not to be outdone. With a swift movement, she rushed into the dense vines like a streak of light.
Her figure moved with lightning speed, leaving only golden afterimages in her wake.
Suddenly, she held a sharp longsword in her hand. With a flash of light, several vines were cut in half and turned into wood chips scattered on the ground.
Her swordsmanship was sharp and swift, each strike hitting the vines precisely where they were most vulnerable, preventing them from reforming in a short time.
At the same time, Man Gu let out a loud shout, and his body instantly swelled up, transforming into a small giant.
His hands gripped the vines tightly like iron clamps, and with a forceful pull, a series of "crack" sounds could be heard.
The vines were ruthlessly trampled in his hands, unable to exert their previous power.
Faced with this joint counterattack, the Bai family patriarch's offensive was immediately halted.
He let out an angry roar, and the vines twisted wildly under his control.
The attacks from the crowd rained down like a storm, with sword light and fist shadows intertwining to form dazzling beams of light.
The Bai family patriarch was unable to defend himself for a time and could only passively endure the attacks from the crowd.
Mrs. Lan seized the opportunity decisively.
A flash of silver light appeared at her fingertips, and several slender silver needles were instantly activated, pointing directly at the vital points of the Bai family patriarch.
Unfortunately, the Bai family patriarch was no longer a fragile human being; his skin was as hard as steel.
The Ming Sha Needle is incredibly powerful; a single needle can subdue a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm. However, when it landed on the Bai family patriarch, it only produced a few soft "ding-ding" sounds, as if it were just tickling him, and failed to achieve any effect whatsoever.
Madam Lan's expression changed; she hadn't expected the Bai family patriarch to have become so strange.
Chu Lengyu didn't move because she was holding the white crystal and looking at the wildly dancing vines, and suddenly she had a guess.
The misty mountain is so special; there must be another reason behind it.
