Chapter 636: Hua Mu Turns (2/2)

According to Hua Mu, Qi warriors had formed exploration teams that had gone through the spatial rifts to the realms where the Demons lived.

Most of those Qi warriors had never returned.

Hua Mu had grown very sad when he had mentioned this, as if he had been reliving some very unpleasant memories.

Back then, Nie Tian had had a feeling that Hua Mu must have been on one of the exploration teams, and that he was one of the few brave men who had walked out of the Domain of the Falling Stars in the recent thousands of years.

Now, after seeing the formidable plant that had been hiding inside of him, he was completely convinced that Hua Mu was one of those who had returned from the Demon realms, if he wasn’t the only one.

However, it seemed that he had paid a heavy price to come back alive; he had come back with a scary plant inside of him.

Perhaps he had made great efforts to suppress the plant ever since he had returned, so the public didn’t know about it.

This time, the killer plant had only broken free from his restraint and come before the public eye because he had consumed too much power fighting Basto with the other two potentates of the Spirit Condor, and he had injured his soul contending against Basto’s soul attack.

SHEW! SHEW! SHEW!

The enormous vines continued to fly through the air. They seemed to be sharp enough to pierce through solid steel after absorbing outsider blood to their fill.

The parts of the vines that were close to Hua Mu were still rather thin. It was the parts that were far from him that had become as thick as man-eating pythons.

The vines seemed to be very spiritual as they searched about by themselves for more fresh blood. Therefore, carried by the vines, Hua Mu started moving towards areas where living beings were gathered.

Hua Mu seemed to be the movable root of the killer vines. He floated wherever the vines wanted to go.

Zong Zheng from the Ice Pavilion Sect saw that there were experts of the Ice Pavilion Sect in the direction where Hua Mu was heading, and thus exclaimed, “Mr. Lu! Do you have a way to sober Hua Mu up and tell him to target only the outsiders?”

Lu Yuanxi was holding his jade ruler as numerous streaks of spiritual light fell from him like willow leaves. “No. If we knew how to do that, we would have done it already.”

“Brother Zong,” he said in a serious voice, “The only way to save those disciples of your sect is to tell them to retreat to the Five Elements Fortune Formation as quickly as possible!”

Zong Zheng pondered for a few seconds before issuing the order, “All disciples of the Ice Pavilion Sect, steer clear of Mr. Hua and retreat to the Heaven Palace Sect immediately!”

After hearing his words, Dong Wangling, Li Muyang, Qi Bailu, and the others also realized what they should do, and thus called out to the disciples of their own sects.

Therefore, without consulting the Heaven Palace Sect, all of their Worldly realm and Profound realm Qi warriors started retreating like an ebbing tide.

“Sectmaster! What should we do?!” Ling Dong asked loudly.

After glancing around briefly, Zhao Luofeng gave the order. “Retreat!”

Upon hearing him, the disciples of the Heaven Palace Sect also ran as fast as they could from Hua Mu towards the Five Elements Fortune Formation.

The Soul realm experts of the Poison Sect and the Spirit God Sect hesitated briefly, and then issued the same order.

However, because they hesitated for a couple of seconds, Hua Mu flew to the area where their disciples were fighting outsiders. In the blink of an eye, numerous thick vines found their way through the Demons’ hearts.

Meanwhile, since many new vines had grown out of Hua Mu after the first round of killing, many vines couldn’t find Demons to kill. Therefore, they no longer had a priority but instead killed whichever humans or outsiders were close to them.

Many Worldly realm and Profound realm disciples of the Poison Sect and the Spirit God Sect failed to evacuate in time and thus fell prey to the killer vines.

“Hua Mu!!!” The sectmaster of the Spirit God Sect thundered furiously as he ended his battle against a seventh grade Birdman and bolted towards Hua Mu.

Not long ago, Hua Mu had shattered the Spirit God Sect’s grand spell formation and engaged in a fierce battle against him.

Only after many other sects had come to intermediate between them had they ended their battle.

At that time, the sectmaster of the Spirit God Sect hadn’t considered Hua Mu a very formidable opponent. If the outsiders hadn’t started their invasion, he believed that he would have been able to defeat him eventually.

Now that he saw Hua Mu entering such a state and start killing Qi warriors of the Spirit God Sect, he deemed that Hua Mu had done it on purpose. Then, recalling what Hua Mu had done before, he decided to ignore the outsiders and settle accounts with Hua Mu first.
