Chapter 32: Vine of Life-and-Death (2/2)
A hint of crihter was piercing, causing one to shi+ver “I’et escape?! Luo Jian, you wanted to face me, was it? You still too tender!”
Luo Jian was obviously infuriated He suddenly drew out his knife; a cold light gleamed, and immediately afterwards, a streak of blood was left behind on Duan Li’s only faultless cheek At this ti Luo Jian; he then said, “Don’t be so ie now and hack him to death, you still won’t be able to save that friend of yours”
“So, what should we do?”
“Cure ills with poison2 Since he talked so uy be the bait”
Luo Jian nodded in approval His cruel side seelared at Duan Li with red eyes, and his voice sunk, “Seeing as you’re so confident, I think it’d be quite fascinating to see whether that precious Vine of Life-and-Death that you planted with your own hands would choke you to death as well”
Luo Jian finished speaking and looked at the little girl, 14, next to him 14 clearly understood Luo Jian’s intentions She flicked the whip in her hand, and the whip that securely bound Duan Li and the Stalker together i freed, Duan Li wanted to start running, but the Stalker beside him was merciless He pressed his hand down on Duan Li’s shoulder to restrain hile step Duan Li glanced at the Stalker and sneered, “Since ere you devoted and loyal enough to help a group of worlint flashed within the depths of his eyes, but it instantaneously receded before one could catch it
Nevertheless, Duan Li clearly perceived the Stalker’s split-second unnaturalness, and he continued to sneer, “It seeic or unfortunate”
14 swung her whip around to bind Duan Li This tiny little girl was utterly terrifying as she waved that whip again with her ing hie tree The tree vine sensed so approached it and countless vines spread out chaotically; rese out, they aimed for Duan Li But it was a pity that Duan Li wasn’t easy to deal with Even though th had been restricted in the real world, and even though Luo Jian took away his weapons, he was irrefutably worthy of the title of one of the most powerful veterans ever With force, he flipped his body midair and faced the countless vines that flew before his eyes Then, in the lowest of hushed whispers, he uttered:
“Phase Two, Liberation—!”
It wasn’t long before Luo Jian and the others itness to soth and speed burst froile! His entire being was like a htly stepped on the fluttering tree vines, dodging left, evading right, going as far as to gradually leaping higher and bounding up the branches of the large tree!
13 promptly reacted He raised his crossbow and, with the arrow pointing straight at Duan Li, he shot quickly
Unfortunately, Duan Li seemed to have eyes on the back of his head His tilted his head to one side, avoiding 13’s strike But after that, the vines seeer and encircled the area even more; they enshrouded the entire tree, not even a crack was exposed, and even Duan Li was surrounded
“I was negligent It was a rinded his teeth as he glared intensely at that ginormous maroon cocoon of tree vines Ah Lan was also inside He truly didn’t knoould happen, but Luo Jian had a bad feeling; he vaguely felt that so
“I’rave error on my part” 13 admitted his mistake
“It doesn’t matter Therewe can to eradicate these tree vines”
The individuals began to act as they spoke Duan Li didn’t see ability of this tree vine was so strong to the point that no one was a match for it Even if every vine was cut off, the vines would grow faster And as even more terrible was that if a severed piece of the vine fell to the ground, it would rapidly take root, and, immediately after, a brand-new tree vine would sprout!
Only fire was capable of having soht results, those flames were eventually sed by the vine itself! It couldn’t burn, it couldn’t be cut, and it grew longer by the second! These tree vines were by far theprofusely He took a deep breath to cal emotions He raised his head and stared at the Stalker beside him The Stalker was expressionless; he seeaze, and he turned around to look at him Luo Jian’s heart suddenly throbbed, and he immediately swiveled his head around But the Stalker clearly didn’t want to let him off He suddenly stretched out his hand and touched Luo Jian’s neck with his fingertips In the end, he stroked that round ouroboros tattoo on his neck The Stalker’s icy fingertips made Luo Jian shudder, and he was compelled to turn back around and look at hi Yan an opportunity he could exploit; he iainst the other’s
However, this superficial contact was only but a second, for, at once, he was shoved away by Luo Jian 13 and 14 were still in the process of clearing the vines, and although they didn’t have the free tih to display a grand play of passion in the presence of others Luo Jian couldn’t guess this Stalker’s intentions His face burned red, and he distanced himself from the other But, unfortunately, wherever he went, the Stalker also followed closely behind hiuy would step forward bravely; Luo Jian couldn’t understand why the other protected hi that Luo Jian couldn’t concentrate on fighting, and he slipped up A vine tangled around his foot and proe cocoon of tree vines Xing Yan immediately jumped into action He reached out with his hands and captured Luo Jian’s ar The Stalker wasn’t a ed into thatwith the other
