Everyone was helpless. Even Wan Jianfeng hesitated. He considered whether he should conserve some strength and retreat. He could see that the Scorching War God could not last too long against the Taowu, erupting into flames under the Taowu's punches.
Suddenly, a beautiful figure charged into the enemy formation. Dai Mengfan was surprised too. "Yaozhu!?"
Ruan Yaozhu rode the white deer and swept past the surging battle formation. The nine-coloured deer shone with nine-coloured light, repelling the incoming rain of arrows.
She pursed her lips and clenched an embroidered pouch firmly. Her joints paled slightly. She glanced back at Black Cloud city and made up her mind. She grabbed a handful of seeds and scattered them on the ground.
A seed drifted through the air, landing in the mouth of a demonfolk with his mouth wide open. With a shudder, he swallowed the seed, but there was no reaction.
Ruan Yaozhu prayed silently. She was not casting a technique. She was actually praying. The true technique had already been infused into every single seed when she tossed it out.
In the demonfolk's belly, the seed flashed with green light and was activated!
The demonfolk collapsed on the ground with a howl, clutching their stomachs as they rolled about. The thorns pierced his skin, greedily drinking his blood. They rapidly engulfed him completely, turning him into a monster woven from thousands of thorns, like a sea urchin.
Every single "tentacle" extended and swung about wildly, wrapping around the demonfolk in the surroundings.
A demonfolk was wrapped around the neck. The sharp thorns almost ripped his neck to shreds. His eyes bulged out as he swung his arms wildly.
A demonfolk on the side bellowed out and cut through the thorns, but the broken thorns twitched even more violently, worming into the demonfolk's eyes like snakes.
Finally, he could let out a hysterical cry. A while later, another thorny monster burst out of his body.
At the same time, even more strange and malicious plants burst out of the ground.
The bewitching man-eating flowers opened and closed like huge mouths, swallowing a demonfolk in a single gulp. The thorns in their mouths were like sharp teeth as they chewed away.
The mud vines that resembled snakes. The juices were venomous. As long as they came into contact with it, their bodies would rapidly decay like mud. Yellow, muddy water flowed out, seeping into the ground and turning into fertiliser.
Even the strongest and most frenzied demonfolk let out miserable cries. Pain would always keep people awake.
The demonfolk that had been devoured. Not to mention the Asura Field, even in the Asura Realm, it was impossible for them to be reborn. Under such "torture", not a single demonfolk could maintain their battle spirit and become an asura.
Ruan Yaozhu had a hobby of collecting seeds. All year round, she would issue missions in the Myriad Appearance Sect to collect seeds of all kinds of strange plants.
These seeds didn't just come from the Human Dao, they came from the entire Six Paths of Reincarnation and the three thousand worlds. Some of them even came from the Demon Realm.
For example, the Pain Brambles. That was one of the tortures of Hell, called the "Hell of Thorns". After being entangled, even one's soul would find it difficult to escape, and they would have to suffer great pain.
As for the "Man-eating Sharp-toothed Flowers", they were native to the Demon domain. They were most suited to growing in the soil of the Demon domain, and their main food was demonfolk and magical beasts.
And so on and so forth.
There was also the inheritance of generations of Herb Garden Masters, as well as her own hard work. She even had seeds from the Nine Heavens.
However, the area of the Hundred Herb Garden was limited. Although it was not economical, it was harmless and could be planted on the nearby islands. However, many plants were inconvenient to grow, especially the seeds of those "evil plants."
However, she had to throw these seeds away. That was absolutely impossible. There was no such thing as good or evil in plants.
As a result, over time, she had instead hoarded a large number of seeds of "evil plants."
The direct disciples were all stunned. They had known her for so long, but they never thought that the usually wooden and weak Yaoyao would actually have a side like that. The scene of those plants devouring and expanding was far more horrifying than fighting with weapons.
Ruan Yaozhu's expression was stiff and unmoving. As she powered the "Tome of Nature", she constantly scattered seeds. As long as these plants were given an impetus to grow into plants, they would forage for food and grow on their own.
The so-called path of nature was not just about the beauty of "plants growing and flourishing". There was also the cruel side of natural selection and survival of the fittest. Countless lives were dying or even going extinct at every moment.
That was the most primitive war. They spread their branches and leaves and fought for the sky. They dug deep into their roots and fought for the earth. The victor lived, and the loser died. Every moment, and it would never end.
To everyone's surprise, the descent of the Asura Field did not suppress her at all. Instead, it boosted her power. The "Tome of Nature" was not some kind and gentle path of cultivation.
Kexin shrank back in fear. She felt like she had become a completely different person.
Dai Mengfan used this opportunity to say, "Even sister Yaozhu is working so hard. Why aren't you doing anything?!"
"Bi 'an's" figure had clearly shrunk. Ruan Yaozhu's efficiency of slaughter could basically rival the entire Xuanwu army.
In particular, the "thorns of pain" multiplied extremely quickly. As long as there was enough fertiliser, they could basically multiply endlessly.
The blades and swords of demonfolk were helpless against them. Even when Demon Emperors and Demon Kings took action, they were unable to destroy them completely. Their powers had been suppressed by the interweaving laws of the world. However, plants were unaffected by the laws of the world. They would only be stimulated by the smell of blood on the battlefield.
As for the demonfolk stabbed into the thorns, their bodies twisted as they shrieked out miserably. They were clearly shaking the morale of the army, causing their morale to collapse.
By now, she had already entered deep into enemy territory. She had to sort out these seeds and scatter them as evenly as possible, or they would fight and kill one another.
The nine-coloured deer warned, "Blockhead, your mind is in a mess!"
Ruan Yaozhu murmured, "He didn't have to come. He fulfilled his promise to me."
The nine-coloured deer said, "You're overthinking it. That kid clearly came back to show off."
"Jiu 'er, my heart hurts." Ruan Yaozhu pressed her chest. Thorns seemed to grow there too. She did not feel it at first, but the pain became more and more intense.
The nine-coloured deer was speechless. It sighed inside, "Oh, the tribulation of relationships!"
This was not just because of Li Qingshan. It was also because of Chao Tianjiao, Lu Boming, and so on. What she had gone through in the past few days had greatly impacted her mind. Before this, she had basically never been involved in any battles. She was not even as good as Kexin, let alone such an intense battle. She even forced herself to go against her conscience and slaughter madly.
As a result, she made up her mind to take her away from here, even if she had to become a deserter.
At this moment. A single large eye looked over, and the unyielding spirit in its gaze caused their bodies to stiffen.
Dai Mengfan cried out, "Yaozhu, be careful!"
Flames filled the sky. Bi 'an had already defeated the War God of Blaze. The flames scattered loudly. Li Liehuo's fate was unknown.
Tu Wancheng sensed that something was amiss. The rate at which his strength weakened had suddenly sped up. The Xuanwu Army did not collapse like he had anticipated. Instead, after the Asura Field descended, their attacks became even more intense. They tore through the demonfolk formations like a hot knife through butter.
They did not seem to realise that their commander had already died in battle, or perhaps they had realised, but they still carried out his final orders and marched!
The true disciples did not scatter and flee either. Instead, they worked together and slaughtered the regular demonfolk. Originally, he was eager for them to stay behind so that he could continue his slaughter. At most, a few hundred thousand more demonfolk would die. They were just ants anyway.
However, he had never heard of the Myriad sect possessing someone as skilled in slaughter as the woman on the white deer. However, the efficiency of her slaughter basically made his heart ache slightly.
"Then you can go die!"
The two war gods had been defeated. Next, it was time to kill all of these true disciples.
Ruan Yaozhu was the first to bear the brunt. In the blink of an eye, the huge hand extended over from the other end of the battlefield, enveloping her like a dark cloud.
Even though it had been weakened slightly, Bi 'an's existence still stood above all life on the battlefield. Without the war god's obstruction, no one could threaten it anymore.
She had entered deep into enemy territory and was alone and helpless. Even if she hid among the true disciples, who would be able to save her?
The nine-coloured deer lamented, "We're really done for now!" The nine-coloured hair shone brightly. It did not mind expending its essence energy to fuel its daemon qi. Originally, it could move a thousand kilometres in a single breath. Now, it actually seemed extremely sluggish.
Enveloped by the huge hand, even time seemed to come to a standstill. Extreme speed and extreme slowness constantly intersected. It was almost maddening.
Ruan Yaozhu said softly, "Jiu 'er, sorry."
"It's fine … Yaozhu?!"
Ruan Yaozhu stepped on the nine-coloured deer's back and faced the huge hand that resembled a dark cloud.
No matter how powerful Bi 'an was, it would take a lot of effort to kill a Human Sovereign. Its mind could only lock onto one person.
The two of them separated, leaving Ruan Yaozhu as the only target. The nine-coloured deer broke free from the mental pressure and immediately turned into a nine-coloured light, fleeing toward the human realm.
Boom!
The huge hand fell and the earth shook, but it hit thin air.
In the nick of time, Ruan Yaozhu was grabbed by an invisible force and escaped from the range of the giant palm, escaping from the gap between the fingers.
All the Demon Sovereigns and Human Sovereigns watched as her thin figure flew toward Black Cloud City, straight into the huge hole that Li Qingshan had smashed open.
"Hmm?"
Tu Wancheng frowned. This was the first time he had failed to kill a Human Sovereign since the start of the war. He felt an inexplicable sense of unease. However, he did not take it to heart. He glanced at the various plants that were growing wildly on the ground.
With a stomp, countless giant trees broke out of the ground and shot into the sky.
These giant trees had no branches or leaves, and were as hard as iron. However, their roots were extremely well-developed. Within a radius of three hundred meters, no plants could grow. They were completely cut off from the earth, and the Demon Kings and Demon Emperors cleared them away very soon.
Countless plants fought back instinctively, entangling the giant trees furiously, but they remained unmoved. These plants lost the land, and without the nourishment of fertilizers, they gradually withered.
However, in a short amount of time, they had already slaughtered several hundred thousand demonfolk. Not a single one of them could be "reborn" in the Asura Field.
Dai Mengfan was filled with regret. If someone could keep "Bi 'an" busy for a little longer, they might actually be able to turn the situation around.
She did not even seem to know how to fight, but she was actually so suited to the battlefield. If she had known she was capable of something like this, the entire strategy would have been different. However, probably even she did not know about this. The mistress of the Herb Garden never went to the battlefield. This time, the city was about to fall, which was why she had gathered all the true disciples.
However, there were no "ifs" in reality. It was too late to say anything now. They had lost the two strongest forces, the Xuanwu Military God and the Inferno Military God.
"Bi 'an" only needed a few seconds to kill a Human Sovereign. In less than ten breaths, the true disciples would collapse. The remaining soldiers of the Xuanwu Army and the Inferno Military God were even easier to deal with than the plants.
