Chapter 388
In a forest of tangled vines .
“Senior Martial Brother, we’re no match for them . ” A cultivator in a Daoist robe had a bitter expression, and the sword in his hand was already a little disorderly .
Leng Jixue calmly rushed behind him and batted away a vine for him . “Steady yourself . Even if you’re no match for them, you still can’t take them lightly . We’ll retreat immediately once we find the right opportunity . ”
A vine had coiled around another cultivator’s ankle . He didn’t even have time to scream before he was quickly hung upside down by the vines . He was so scared that he screamed loudly, falling into a completely disorderly state .
“Senior Martial Brother, save me! Aaaaaaah!”
Leng Jixue was currently being besieged by some vines . At this time, he was also overwhelmed and up to his ears in attacks, but he couldn’t just watch his martial brother die . Thus, he bit his lower lip and formed a hand seal, using his palms to cut off a few vine tentacles out of thin air .
Immediately afterward, he only hesitated for an instant before he decisively bit his finger and popped out a drop of blood, smearing it on his forehead .
In an instant, his cultivation skyrocketed, and he shot out a technique named “Destruction of a Thousand Mountains” from his palm . The vibrating spiritual Qi split the air, and countless vines on both sides were severed, forcing them to retreat one after another .
The cultivator who was hung in mid-air also fell to the ground and screamed loudly as he crawled back up, hurriedly retreating .
“Go!” Leng Jixue commanded, and the party quickly retreated toward the back .
Unfortunately, although they retreated quickly, the vines were faster .
One by one, the vines had somehow intertwined together and become “humanoids” whose entire bodies were covered in green moss, with black holes in place of facial features . Vines also coiled and twisted around their lower bodies . One after another, these monsters appeared in the forest, solidly blocking the five people, including Leng Jixue .
Leng Jixue’s scalp couldn’t help but feel numb . Most likely, anyone who witnessed this strange scene would have such a feeling .
“Senior Martial Brother, what are these things?”
“Senior Martial Brother, these monsters can’t be killed at all, and there’s no end to them!”
“Senior Martial Brother, when will Huangfu s.h.i.+xiong come over? Are we going to die here?!”
A few young cultivators were about to cry . When they were living in Sky Peak Sect, although they were all favored by the heavens and their cultivations weren’t low, they truly had too little experience in actual combat . During this period of time, their group had lost many people every day, so their psychological defenses were already about to collapse . Now that they were trapped in this forest of vines, they were even more tortured to the point of exhaustion in both mind and spirit, which made them wish they could simply fall to the ground and cry to the heavens .
Leng Jixue held the sword . His figure seemed to be a little unstable, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted, “I’ve already sent a message to Ah Jin . Let’s hold on for a while longer; he will come soon . ”
A cultivator revealed dejectedly, “Senior Martial Brother, we came here secretly without telling Senior Martial Brother Huangfu . One can only enter the Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest but cannot leave . Any information inside can’t be transmitted to the outside at all . Senior Martial Brother Huangfu will certainly not receive our request for help . ”

For a while, blades flashed and swords left behind shadows, clanging together resoundingly .
However, these cultivators’ spiritual Qi was almost spent, and many of them had already lost hope, so they weren’t a match at all for the vine people, who never seemed to tire and grew more ferocious the more they fought . They didn’t hold out for long before one of the cultivators was pierced through the throat by a vine and fell on his back with his eyes wide open .
“Senior Martial Brother Feng!” Another cultivator screamed with a heart-rending cry, desperately gripping the sword and shouting, “f.u.c.k, I'm going to kill you all!”
Leng Jixue also had a chilly expression . Just when he was about to bite his fingertip again and temporarily boost his cultivation, suddenly, a sword that hadn’t yet been drawn out flew over, brus.h.i.+ng past his ear to pierce the head of the vine person who was about to come right in front of Leng Jixue .
Leng Jixue suddenly turned his head back .
He saw a young man in white riding a horse, rus.h.i.+ng over from the depths of the forest . His long hair was like ink, fluttering behind him . His face was stunningly beautiful . The expression on his face seemed to always be three-tenths indifferent, three-tenths gentle, and four-tenths inviolable .
Lin Xuanzhi leaped up and flew into the middle of these people .
He stood beside Leng Jixue and raised his hand to catch the returning Zhige sword . “It’s better if you use less of this skill that borrows lifespan . ”
With that, he flew and rushed into the vines, cutting off their necks one by one .
Leng Jixue stood on the spot . How could Lin Xuanzhi know that he’d been borrowing destiny just now?
Even Huangfu Jin didn’t know about such things .
However, time waits for no one . Now wasn’t the time to entertain foolish thoughts, so Leng Jixue immediately waved his palm and entered the battle .
The ensuing Bei s.h.i.+tian also drew out his sword, Killing G.o.d, slaughtering in all four directions . Along the journey, Bei s.h.i.+tian had very few chances to draw his sword . Every day, he took the opportunity to scout the road ahead to actively search for those demonic beasts in order to practice his sword . However, he hadn’t reached the hinterland of the demonic forest yet, so none of the enemies he met were strong enough . He could handle them easily, which made Bei s.h.i.+tian very dissatisfied .
Now that he’d finally met such formidable opponents after much difficulty, how could he easily let go of this opportunity?
