Chapter 677: How Could He Have Come to the Eastern Continent Without Reaching the Supreme Realm
The Malevolent Lightning Dragon opened its mouth in pain, and two cultivators barely managed to escape.
The third person was too unlucky; he was bitten in half by the Malevolent Lightning Dragon on the spot. The malevolent lightning coursed through his wound, making it impossible to heal, and in the blink of an eye, he lost all signs of life.
"Die! You... all deserve to die!"
The pain completely ignited the Malevolent Lightning Dragon's ferocity.
It roared madly!
Bang bang bang!
The huge dragon head twisted violently.
It was also like a giant hammer smashing down.
Each time, several cultivators were directly smashed away or flung off.
If it hit the vines, even more wounds would appear.
Blood and shredded flesh immediately filled this clearing.
The expressions of Sikong Lie, Liyin, Hu Xinyue, and others changed slightly, and they could only do their best to dodge and move.
At this moment, they could no longer protect others and could only fend for themselves.
Screams rang out one after another.
Cultivators with insufficient strength died on the spot.
This was considered fortunate.
Those who were both weak and unlucky were instantly smashed into a pulp.
Their Nascent Souls were also directly shattered by the malevolent lightning.
Even their human forms were gone.
The number of surviving cultivators plummeted sharply.
Liyin was caught off guard and was swept by the Malevolent Lightning Dragon's gigantic tail, sending him flying.
His body was smashed onto the vines, adding injury to his wounds.
Liyin was also in a bad state.
His front and back were both struck by the malevolent lightning spewed from the dragon's mouth, and his wounds were still unable to heal.
The spiritual energy within his body had long been exhausted.
Hu Xinyue was lucky and didn't suffer too many injuries.
However, her vital energy was also close to being depleted.
If this continued, everyone would die.
Just as the three of them were about to fall into despair.
A sword hum suddenly sounded from outside the vine forest.
In the next moment, an ancient and vast flying sword came slicing through.
Puff!
This flying sword was clearly just condensed from spiritual energy, but it was like the sharpest divine weapon in the world.
It cleaved through the tough vines as if cutting a melon.
What astonished the cultivators even more was that the wounds on the extremely resilient vines seemed to have been suppressed by a great power, and their regeneration speed became abnormally slow.
The cultivators were overjoyed.
Who was it?
That person used a sword, could it be the Sword Prince, Li Zangfeng?!
Liyin and Sikong Lie were even more puzzled.
As a blood brother, Liyin knew his elder brother very well.
Sikong Lie, as a fellow genius, naturally also had some understanding of Li Zangfeng.
Both of them were aware that although Li Zangfeng used a sword, his sword technique was one of ultimate speed.
It was not this kind of path that severed all, suppressed demons, and annihilated evil.
Who was this sudden reinforcement?
Hu Xinyue's gaze swept over the ancient and vast sword, but she always felt a sense of familiarity.
Who was it?
Could she have met him before?
That was impossible.
This was her first time coming to the Eastern Continent.
If her ancestor had not brought her along on his travels to the Eastern Continent.
She probably would have to reach the Supreme Realm before she had a chance to come to the Eastern Continent.
"So you were here. No wonder I didn't find you when I went to the valley."
A calm voice rang out.
Hu Xinyue was stunned.
She also had some impression of this voice.
Who was it?
Could it be...
A figure flashed through her mind like a bolt of lightning.
No way.
It couldn't be him!
This was the Eastern Continent! Not the Sky South Archipelago!
How could he have come to the Eastern Continent without reaching the Supreme Realm!
Hu Xinyue opened her beautiful eyes wide, staring intently in the direction from which the voice came.
A tall and straight figure walked over leisurely.
Everywhere he passed, purple liquid splashed across the ground.
The vines were all sliced in half.
The vines that were as tough as steel in the eyes of the cultivators were as fragile as paper before him.
Clatter!
Lightning tore through the pitch-black sky.
It illuminated the man's face.
Sikong Lie, Liyin, and the others were all unfamiliar with this face.
But Hu Xinyue was all too familiar with it. She remembered clearly that it was this person who had brought her out from the bottom of the abyss in the Azure Green Cave and had escorted her out of the Azure Green Cave, helping her escape danger.
Although their relationship was a transactional one, Hu Xinyue had never forgotten this life-saving benefactor.
Shen Mo, the young island master of Hidden Dragon Island!
Hu Xinyue covered her mouth, her watery eyes staring in disbelief at Shen Mo.
Sikong Lie and Liyin, on the other hand, looked at Shen Mo with suspicion and uncertainty. They still couldn't understand who this person was.
How could he walk in so leisurely, completely unafraid of the vines' attacks?
Roar roar roar!
The Malevolent Lightning Dragon let out an angry roar. The vines in the forest were also a part of its body.
Now, this human cultivator had easily severed them.
It was naturally furious.
Boom!
The gigantic tail composed of vines suddenly whipped out.
It was like a meteor streaking across the sky.
It pointed directly at Shen Mo's head.
Shen Mo suddenly threw a punch.
At this moment, everything seemed to slow down.
Sikong Lie and Liyin even felt that the rhythm of their breathing and blinking had become abnormally slow.
In this world, there was only that one punch that was fast to the extreme.
In the next moment, the fist slammed into the gigantic tail.
A powerful explosion rang out.
The incredibly strong tail was actually blown into a sky full of vines.
Juice splashed everywhere, and the vines rustled down.
The Malevolent Lightning Dragon let out a series of wails.
It clearly felt a powerful pressure from this human cultivator.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh.
Vines from all directions gathered.
In less than twenty breaths, the Malevolent Lightning Dragon's gigantic tail was restored to its original state.
When the cultivators saw this, their expressions were filled with despair.
How could they possibly fight?
The recovery speed was too fast.
"I can't kill you, but you can't harm me either."
Shen Mo said calmly.
He knew very well that the Malevolent Lightning Dragon had been entrenched here for ten thousand years, and there were vines everywhere.
As long as it was in this place, the Malevolent Lightning Dragon could be considered almost invincible.
No matter how serious the injury, it could quickly recover to its original state.
Unless there was an extremely powerful force that could completely obliterate the Malevolent Lightning Dragon and all the surrounding vines.
Only then could the Malevolent Lightning Dragon be killed in an instant.
Shen Mo did not think he had such a powerful method.
Therefore, he did not plan to fight to the death with the Malevolent Lightning Dragon now.
That would only be a waste of time.
Shen Mo said calmly, "I came here this time to make a deal with you."
Roar roar!
The Malevolent Lightning Dragon roared angrily.
It seemed to be saying: What deal? I won't make a deal with you.
Shen Mo took out that section of the ten-thousand-year-old tree heart.
The Malevolent Lightning Dragon immediately stopped roaring, its huge dragon eyes staring at him in disbelief.
"Whether you make a deal or not is your decision."
Shen Mo put the ten-thousand-year-old tree heart back into his storage ring and said faintly.
The Malevolent Lightning Dragon let out a series of low growls, "Deal... deal... follow me..."
It twisted its head suddenly and flew towards the depths of the vine forest.
Shen Mo lightly stepped on the ground, his body like a fierce wind, sweeping past Sikong Lie, Liyin, Hu Xinyue, and the others, quickly following.
Hu Xinyue wanted to speak but could only close her mouth.
She knew that revealing she knew Shen Mo now would not be a good thing for either herself or Shen Mo.
After the Malevolent Lightning Dragon left, the vines that had been trapping the cultivators also gradually withered.
Soon, they were like dry plants in autumn.
Just a surge of spiritual energy could shatter a large area of them.
All the cultivators, including Sikong Lie and Liyin, were a bit lost.
Was it over just like that?
