CHAPTER 431: CHAPTER 104: LONGYAN! ICE FIEND SPIRIT BODY

...

Actually, you can’t blame Wang Shouzhe for being shocked. The truth is, Faang You’an looked quite miserable at the moment. Not only was his handsome robe torn to shreds, but his body was also covered in many mottled scars, and even his complexion was deathly pale.

On his neck, strands of black Evil Qi were spreading along his meridians, being suppressed within a certain range by his own Profound Qi, locked in mutual struggle.

It was clear that in the previous battle, he had been inadvertently invaded by the Evil Qi. He was now using Profound Qi to suppress it.

If it weren’t for the green aura circling around him, helping to suppress his injuries, the Evil Qi would likely have invaded his internal organs by now.

"What are you looking at?"

Noticing Wang Shouzhe’s strange expression, Faang You’an shot him a displeased look.

Who hasn’t had a battle scar?

As a Direct Disciple of the Academy, he had experienced countless battles over the century, and naturally, things weren’t always smooth sailing. Injuries and poisonings were part of the past, so he wouldn’t be enraged just because someone saw him in a sorry state.

Had it not been for Wang Shouzhe’s exaggerated expression, he wouldn’t have bothered with it.

"Ahem~ Senior Brother Yoou’an, let me help you heal."

Wang Shouzhe immediately composed his expression, cleared his throat, and sensibly moved forward to help Faang You’an heal.

Meanwhile, Beichen Ancestor, Ancestor Longyan, and his wife Liua Ruolan had already leaped forward to assist Junior Sister Lvwei in dealing with Yin Yuzhe.

Under the influence of the Marriage Robe Blood Gu Emperor, Yin Yuzhe had long lost his mind, revealing his fierce nature.

The blood-red eyes, violent aura, deformed body, and those inhuman howls and screams made him appear extremely hideous, almost unrecognizable as a human.

The dense Ice Evil Qi, mixed with a bloody scent, surrounded him. With his roars, it surged continuously. The Blade Qi wielded by the Yin Sha Demon Blade whistled through the air, each strike possessing earth-shattering might, powerful enough to make one’s heart palpitate.

The ground around had already been plowed into deep trenches.

Even before Beichen Ancestor approached the battlefield, his expression had turned grave.

Yet, even in such a situation, Junior Sister Lvwei remained at ease.

A tall tree stood behind her, its crown like a canopy, its leaves lush and verdant. Strands of green aura fell from the tree crown, forming a giant shield that protected Junior Sister Lvwei within.

The Blade Qi from the Yin Sha Demon Blade collided with the shield, causing ripples to spread, yet it could never break through the defense to harm Junior Sister Lvwei inside the shield.

Wang Shouzhe glanced at it, and his lips twitched.

He hadn’t seen the tree before, but those leaves looked awfully familiar.

Wasn’t this an Immortal Tree Leaf?

No need to think; this tree must be the Longevity Tree.

He had heard of the famous special Spirit Plant "Longevity Tree" of Changchun Ascendant long ago, but because Changchun Ascendant had kept it well-hidden, he never had a chance to see it.

It was said that the Longevity Tree was nearly a hundred yards tall, its crown like clouds. On the battlefield, it was akin to a spring of vitality; as long as the Longevity Tree stood, the base would never be overrun.

The Longevity Tree in front of him was too small; it definitely couldn’t be the one belonging to Changchun Ascendant, at most, it was a sapling.

Remembering the few Immortal Tree Leaves he had painstakingly extracted from Changchun Ascendant, and then looking at that lush canopy, Wang Shouzhe felt a complex mix of emotions, experiencing the rare sensation of "poverty."

Moreover, this clearly wasn’t all of Junior Sister Lvwei’s capabilities.

Outside the shield of the Longevity Tree, robust Rose Vines crisscrossed like a forest, occupying all space within hundreds of meters, thoroughly restricting Yin Yuzhe’s movements.

The durability and destructiveness of these Rose Vines were not as high as the Bloodthirsty Vine, but still considerable, clearly nurtured as a special Spirit Seed.

Often, the Blade Qi from Yin Yuzhe could only sever five or six Rose Vines before being entangled by newer ones growing in their place.

And the speed at which Junior Sister Lvwei fostered the Rose Vines was incredibly fast. Thus, although Yin Yuzhe was strong, in his mindless state, his range of movement was confined to a limited area.

Moreover, Junior Sister Lvwei wore an armor made of intertwining Rose Vines, with a Dharma Illusion, strikingly similar to her, exuding a powerful aura behind her.

As the battle persisted, fresh red petals continuously detached from the armor, swirling and dancing around her.

With each invocation of her hand formulas, the petals flew towards Yin Yuzhe, exploding upon impact.

The destructive power of these petals was evidently substantial, having already shredded Yin Yuzhe’s attire to rags, and even close-by Rose Vines would be blasted apart.

Clearly, the offensive power of these Rose Vines and petals was inadequate, merely able to disrupt the defense slightly but not inflict any severe damage on Yin Yuzhe. By herself, she wouldn’t be able to decide victory even after fighting for days and nights.

Fortunately, with the addition of Beichen Ancestor, Ancestor Longyan, and Liua Ruolan, the shortfall in destructive power was compensated for, tipping the scales of victory rapidly.

"Senior Brother Yoou’an, how did Junior Sister Lvwei bring that Longevity Tree sapling over here?"

Seeing the battle stabilize, Wang Shouzhe decided not to jump into the fray, supporting from afar by healing, while chatting with Faang You’an.
