Chapter 1087: Situation ReversedTranslator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The immortal"s body was fast, and his hands were strong. The Bloodvine tried to wriggle its way out but could not succeed.
The Bloodvine"s main vine above the water was thousands of feet long. But half of that was damaged by the immortal"s body. At the moment, the immortal"s body was two miles in the sky, and yet there were still parts of the Bloodvine in the water.
“Whoosh~”
The Bloodvine twisted in the air. The subsidiary vines curled up and entangled the immortal"s body. The Bloodvine appeared to be attempting to stop the immortal"s body from flying so that it would not be pulled out.
“Swish, swish~”
But the immortal"s body glared with red light and some blood-red airstream came out. It appeared that the blood-red airstream was toxic. The subsidiary bodies were corroded. Three subsidiary bodies that were trying to trap the immortal"s body were turned into dust.
“Swish, swish~”
The main part of the Bloodvine wriggled and reached for the immortal"s body. The subsidiary vines were weaker, and the main part was stronger in defense. The Bloodvine was becoming anxious. If all of it was pulled out, it would be doomed.
Unfortunately…
The main vine could not stand the blood-red airstream coming from the immortal"s body and was almost corroded. When a part of the main vine was corroded, the immortal"s body flapped his wings again and then pulled the main vine higher into the sky.
The Bloodvine had no other choice. It continued to use its main vine and the subsidiary vines to entangle the immortal"s body. The Bloodvine was ready to risk everything. Either the Bloodvine could entrap the immortal"s body, or it would be killed by him.
Just like that, the main vine was corroded bit by bit. After a moment, the Bloodvine was uprooted. All of it was yanked out from the lake. In that instant, the Bloodvine was much weaker.
“Whoosh~”
The Bloodvine put up a desperate fight. Its root curled up and circled the immortal"s body. Eventually, he was out of sight and only the Bloodvine could be seen.
“What…”
Lu Li was worried to see that the Bloodvine was being eroded bit by bit but was still trying hard to entangle the immortal"s body. Lu Li was not worried about the immortal"s body. Rather, he was worried he would lose the Bloodvine if all of it was corroded.
Lu Li had no idea how to tame such a creature. He could only continue to monitor with psychic power. The Bloodvine was corroded from a length of two miles to one mile and to a thousand feet. Even so, the Bloodvine had not given up on “strangling” the immortal"s body. The Bloodvine was still trying to trap the immortal"s body.
Five hundred feet, one hundred feet!
The last piece of the Bloodvine was about to be corroded. Lu Li could not sit around anymore. But as he was going to give the immortal"s body an order, the remaining piece of the Bloodvine suddenly gave out a red glow. The Bloodvine then became a phantom and disappeared into the immortal"s body…
“How?!”
Lu Li was shocked. Was the entire Bloodvine lost? Was all of his effort in vain?
“Wait!”
Suddenly, Lu Li squinted as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight. He found a mark on the neck of the immortal"s body. It was like he had a red tattoo—the immortal"s body had a Bloodvine tattoo on his neck.
“Has the immortal"s body taken the Bloodvine under control?”
Lu Li had an idea. Then, he thought of another possibility; the Bloodvine had intelligence and probably a soul. But the immortal"s body had no head, so he had no soul or consciousness.
In other words, the Bloodvine might have reversed the situation. The creature"s soul had gone into the immortal"s body to possess him.
“Oh no!”
If such was the case, not only would Lu Li lose the Bloodvine but also the immortal"s body.
He was so worried that he gave an order in his mind to the immortal"s body immediately. “Come back!”
The immortal"s body spread his wings and flew back. Lu Li was a bit relieved when he saw the immortal"s body still answering to his orders. Without any hesitation, Lu Li put away the immortal"s body into the outer hall of the Wicked Bead instantly.
The Wicked Bead was strong in defense, both outside and inside. To put the immortal"s body in the outer hall, it would make it difficult for the Bloodvine to take away the immortal"s body even if it wanted to. Whether that was going to be the case, Lu Li had decided to lock the immortal"s body up for now.
The immortal"s body was Lu Li"s greatest help and leverage to compete against the nine universes. He had to go there someday. He must have the immortal"s body.
Lu Li himself went into the inner hall and used psychic power to check the immortal"s body in the outer hall.
An hour pa.s.sed; the immortal"s body demonstrated no strange behaviors. Apart from the blood-red Bloodvine mark on his neck, nothing else stood out.
Lu Li tried to control the immortal"s body to walk around in the outer hall. The immortal"s body carried out his order at once, which was to Lu Li"s relief.
Still, he was careful and continued to monitor the immortal"s body. After an entire day, Lu Li sighed out of relief because the immortal"s body was the same as before.
“Did the immortal"s body tame the Bloodvine?”
Lu Li thought of a possibility. He gave the immortal"s body an order, “Send out the Bloodvine.”
However, Lu Li was surprised that the immortal"s body did nothing. Lu Li gave out several similar orders, yet the immortal"s body did nothing.
“What is happening?”
Lu Li did not understand. He had to give it up. He checked the immortal"s body for any abnormal behavior every now and then the whole day. He did want to keep checking, but he sat down and cultivated instead.
After a day later, Lu Li was alerted. He Yue had news to report to him. She found Feng Wanhu and the others. This time, she sensed them in person.
Feng Wanhu and the others were hiding in a cave dozens of miles underground. They were breaking down spatial barriers down there and the s.p.a.ce nearby was trembling, which was picked up by He Yue"s subsidiary bodies. They sneaked into the cave from underground and found Feng Wanhu. However, they could only discover Feng Wanhu and two other Semi-G.o.d Realm warriors before they were killed.
“Let"s go!”
Lu Li controlled the Wicked Bead to fly over as He Yue led the way. There was a bit of distance, but they were not very far away. They arrived in half a day.
“They are still there!”
He Yue said with certainty. Lu Li used psychic power to check the immortal"s body. After making sure that nothing was wrong, he sent out the immortal"s body. Lu Li had the immortal"s body to go into the cave and kill everyone there.
“Whoosh~”
The immortal"s body dashed into the cave. Lu Li came right behind him in the Wicked Bead. The cave was deep, and there were scouts lurking outside. Lu Li did not mind them and told the immortal"s body to press forward.
The cave meandered to dozens of miles into the ground. The deeper it went, the more violent the trembling in s.p.a.ce was. For the immortal"s body, covering dozens of miles would only take several seconds. If there weren"t so many corners and turns, the immortal"s body would spend less time to arrive.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Soon, the fight broke out. Lu Li used psychic power to check. He frowned upon closer examination. There were only three Semi-G.o.d Realm warriors there—Feng Wanhu and two others. There was no trace of Jun Hongye and the rest.
“Swish, swish~”
Feng Wanhu took out a saber and dug out a tunnel to run away. But the other two Semi-G.o.d Realm warriors" reaction was slower. The immortal"s body was getting closer. The fate of those two Semi-G.o.d Realm warriors was determined.
Of course, in that situation, no matter how fast Feng Wanhu could be, there would be no other alternative fate for him. The battle was no longer on Lu Li"s mind. He was worried about Jun Hongye.
It seemed that Jun Hongye was smart enough to separate ways. Feng Wanhu must be a bait Jun Hongye left to lure Lu Li over. Jun Hongye must have gone into a small world secretly. It would be a daunting task to hunt him down now.
