Sam and the lady looked at each other, the atmosphere is tense.
Sam could see the cold killing intent in her eyes. He knew that she wants to kill him at this moment. But he is not exactly worried. The commotion caused by the vines and trees is extremely loud that the other monkey warriors should have already started making their way here, even if the monkey warriors didn"t come, the other cultivators who are in the vicinities would certainly want to come here and take a look.
After all, who would want to leave a chance when they can go to a place where a great battle took place and even the winner might be in their most vulnerable state. They could take advantage of the situation.
By this time, it is almost night and Sam activated his night vision as he looked around, he could faintly see the silhouettes coming towards them.
He doesn"t have enough time to wrestle with her, with that he made his move.
The spiritual energy was sent into the staff and he went towards her swinging it.
The lady doesn"t want him to get close, she is not a warrior mage, she is a normal wood elemental mage.
The vines which are all over the floor all made their way towards Sam, interrupting him on his way as the lady started moving backward. As she kept him busy, she took out another robe and wore. She is back to her male form again, it is just that it is more like a pretty boy look.
Sam started spinning his staff as the wind elemental energy swirled around, the vines that are approaching are all being cut away, Sam"s main strength in the usage of elemental powers, is actually not their uniqueness or even number, it is rather his ability to use the surrounding spiritual energy to his own attacks which helps him not only to reduce the burden on him and the spiritual energy consumption, it also scales the attack much bigger.
The wind blades that are streaking from the spin of the staff are extremely short, but they are extremely lethal at the same time.
Sam concentrated his wind elemental energy below his feet and used air cannot leap forward, bypa.s.sing all the vines that are increasing in the ground which are obstructing him in his path.
The lady frowned at the trajectory, from the leap, she is sure that Sam would land right in front of her, she placed her hands on the ground and all of a sudden some th.o.r.n.y vines appeared out of nowhere making a net. If Sam was to fall in it, he would be done for.
But just before he landed, Sam suddenly unleashed another air cannon which is actually very small, but it made him land where he exactly wanted to land, behind the lady, this caught her by surprise, she realized the situation she was in immediately and started concentrating the spiritual energy on her back to defend the attack. She doesn"t even have time to turn back.
Sam concentrated the spiritual energy at the end of the staff as swung it at her back.
The attack is actually not that hard, the lady was even surprised that the attack is that weak, but suddenly she noticed that the runes on the white cloth stopped working.
Sam unleashed his spiritual sense and scanned her back. He could see the tattoo. It is a symbol in which the lady is elegantly standing in the midst of plants as they grew towards her, there are some vines which are coiled to her, but it didn"t seem like they are binding her, rather it almost looked it she was embraced by them.
Sam retracted his spiritual sense, the lady also covered her whole body with her own will when she noticed Sam"s spiritual sense is scanning her back.
She noticed that tattoo and she seemed to have seen it just now, her eyes widened.
"Nice Tattoo. I like girls when they have tattoos." Sam said in a low voice.
The girl"s surprise was reduced after listening to his words.
For one moment, she thought Sam is also like her. When she broke through to the Nascent stage, she talked to that being once again and she wanted to see how others are doing. But she doesn"t know how to recognize them. Now only she remembered the tattoo which appeared in the previous palace of inheritance.
When Sam wanted to see it, she almost thought that he is part of them, but his words dismissed her thoughts, particularly when she saw Sam"s eyes which are filled with l.u.s.t as he sized her up.
That"s right, Sam is looking at her like a lecher and sizing her up as if he wanted to eat her.
Her expression grew cold and suddenly she made a move Sam is extremely close to her at the moment and the Th.o.r.n.y vine net she created suddenly moved, it directly surrounded Sam and the thorns directly entered his body as they penetrated.
Sam noticed that some purple lines appeared near the penetration. He frowned and looked at the woman, whose surprise was completely gone, and only killing intent remained.
Sam completely surrounded the vines that are still holding him with his spiritual energy and with a mere thought, they are torn into minute pieces, almost disintegrated. This is the quick version of his normal disintegration.
As soon as he did that, the purple lines on his body are also disappeared, his hydra bloodline is circulating all over his body.
The lady was surprised.
"How can you take it? You couldn"t possibly know the antidote for my poison?"
She said as he pointed her finger at him.
Sam didn"t give her a chance, his staff was swung upwards and it hit directly in her armpit, while her arm was feeling numb, Sam directly slammed the staff at her shoulder joint. But it is not a normal hit, the wind element formed an extremely concentrated wind cannon just before the contact.
The lady felt her whole skeleton shaking, she heard a crack on her shoulder bones, and her arm wouldn"t work any time soon. But it is not over yet.
Before she realized it, the staff came from the other side, directly hitting her on her left abdomen.
She felt like puking her guts out.
Sam wanted to finish her off at this moment, but suddenly he saw her taking some out. As soon as he dropped, various vines popped out and along with it a tree immediately came out of the ground all of them are coiling around Sam. They are not attacking him. They are just making sure that he doesn"t move at all.
Sam didn"t care much about it, these are consumables and short-lived, all he needed was a wind cannon to make them explode. He was about to chase her, but he sensed some movements and realized that others are coming, he wanted to leave, but before that, he ran towards the monkey warrior"s corpse.
With a touch, the corpse disappeared and Sam took the sword, boots, and the scroll.
He didn"t wait for a second and used shadow transfer to disappear and reappeared in the nearby woods.
From there he made sure that no one is around and ran with an elemental fusion of light like his life depended on it.
At the empty battlefield, two groups of people appeared one after another.
One of them is the thunder G.o.d temple"s group. the other one is actually the Usaine sect"s group.
Both of them looked at each other. The Usaine sect"s group has four people by their side while the thunder G.o.d temple has three people.
They are at a numerical advantage.
"Are you the one"s in the battle?"
The Usaine sect who are the latecomers asked as they looked at them. The thunder G.o.d temple"s group seemed to be a little ragged. They are not exactly in their perfect condition.
"Nope. No one is here by the time we came."
Both of them didn"t speak again, they are contemplating whether they should battle or not.
Arman and Arthur are both in the group and they are not exactly unpopular, that is why the other group is wavering, but they also don"t want to give up their opportunity to eliminate the opponents who are tough compet.i.tion.
As they are thinking a loud explosive sound was heard from a distance, they looked there and then exchanged glances, with a tacit understanding they ran towards that direction.
And that direction happened to be the direction where Sam ran before.
At this moment, Sam is in a deadlock.
Moments ago, when he was running towards a direction, he activated his night vision to see if he can find any visible targets and he saw that there are a group of people waiting in an ambush as one of them is running towards the ambush point while two monkey warriors are chasing them.
He understood what is happening and ran towards the group. He wants to fish in the muddy waters.
When the group of five surrounded the two monkey warriors and are battling, he made his move. He made a sneak attack on one of the candidates of the group, they are from the lightning Spear sect.
And he took down the guy with a single hit to his head and without further ado, he moved back.
The others from the group looked at him and then went into a frenzy, he seemed to have used a trump card the two monkeys are dead on the spot. In fact, their bodies disappeared completely. But that lightning will surely expose their location to a lot of people.
Now, the four people from the Lightning Spear sect all surrounded the tree Sam is on.
