As long as one could ascend and become a deity, which one of them would have clean hands? Especially in an environment like this where the strong preyed on the weak. Usually, the higher one stood, the more blood debts they would have, let alone the fact that there were Demonic Immortals and Devils here. Which one of them did not kill their way out of a bloody path?
"Dongfang girly, perhaps it's not as bad as you say?" Nangong Cheng waved his hands and smiled, though his smile clearly carried a hint of reluctance. "Look, we're already out of this place. Even if those resentments originated from the killings back then, there shouldn't be anything else, right?"
"I don't know either. If this level really is a Karmic Tribulation, then how could the karma everyone planted back then be limited to just killing? " Zhu Yao shook her head. "In any case, it's never wrong to be careful. After all, the path to the Light of Guidance is still long!"
Everyone nodded cautiously. Compared to their previous relaxed and joyful mood, they were now even more cautious and serious, as they moved forward with all their might.
Yue Ying was their main fighting force, and right now, he was the only one who still had a human GPS function. Hence, he took the initiative to walk in front. Zhu Yao and her master followed behind, in charge of observing their surroundings, while Nangong Cheng and Zhonggu Lu were at the back.
After maintaining their formation, the group then walked into the large green forest in front of them. This forest was actually not very dense. Compared to the forests of the Three Thousand Worlds that were filled with spiritual energy and divine energy, this place seemed a little barren, as though there wasn't any signs of life. The ground was filled with withered branches and withered leaves, and even the leaves on the trees were yellow and withered, unable to fall off.
Not long after they walked, Yue Ying suddenly stopped and looked ahead with a frown.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Yao asked.
He pointed to the front. "There seems to be something up ahead?"
The hell, so fast!
Everyone's hearts were in their throats. After listening carefully, there were indeed sounds of fighting coming from the front. They had initially planned to circle around it, but that was a place they had to pass through. In order to prevent any accidents from happening, they had no choice but to be even more cautious.
The closer they got, the louder the sounds of fighting became. After walking for a few dozen meters, a large patch of green grass appeared in front of them, and a frantic cry for help could be heard.
"Save me. Hurry … Hurry and save me, hurry and save me! "
This voice …
After taking a closer look, yo, enemies really do cross paths. Aren't the three men and one woman in front Mei Xue's group? They didn't know if it was retribution, but they actually encountered trouble again.
A flower as tall as two people appeared on the grass. The flower was a deep blood red, and its six petals were as big as a bathtub. It was actually a bloody mouth, surrounded by a circle of sharp teeth. There were also thorny vines dancing in the air, looking very terrifying.
Mei Xue and the other man were being bitten by the flower. Their lower bodies were already in its mouth, and the other two men were grabbing their hands, trying their best to pull them out. Mei Xue was in a sorry state. She was so scared that she cried. Her hair was messy and her face was twisted. This time, she really cried. She had completely lost the beauty of a pear blossom with tears from before. She was howling like a pig being slaughtered.
"Hurry, hurry and pull me out … Save me, hurry and save me!" She waved her hands as she screamed at the two men outside at the top of her lungs. Her lower body was bitten by the flower, and blood was flowing out. It was even more turbulent than a woman's period.
One of the two men outside was holding onto her arm, trying his best to pull her out of the flower's mouth. However, they didn't have any celestial energy, and didn't dare to stand too close. And that flower was already twice the size of a person. Although they didn't let go, the effect wasn't very obvious. She was already slowly sliding into the flower.
The man in the flower's mouth saw that this wasn't a solution. He immediately stopped and let go of his hand. Instead, he held onto Mei Xue's waist. "Mei Xue, go out first, then save me!" He used his strength to throw her out.
With the strength of three people, it was indeed effective. Seeing that she was already out of the flower's mouth, the man happily reached out his hand, wanting to ask for help. That flower seemed to be unwilling to let its prey escape just like that. It opened its mouth wide again and pounced forward.
It was unknown if it was intentional or not, but the moment Mei Xue came out, she suddenly kicked towards the back, directly kicking the man who was about to ask for help into the flower's heart. Due to the recoil, the flower retreated a few feet as well, swallowing the man whole.
That scene happened extremely quickly. Before the man who dragged Mei Xue out even had the chance to be surprised, he had already disappeared into the flower's mouth. Mei Xue and the other two took the opportunity to escape from the flower's range of movement. Their faces were pale, and they looked frightened.
The two men who saved her had ugly expressions as well. Evidently, they had seen that scene earlier. However, the two of them chose to ignore Mei Xue's tearful complaints, and began to console her instead.
"Mei Xue, are you alright now? Don't be afraid. "
"But big brother Yeyu, he …"
"He died to save you. I believe he was willing to do so."
"Yes, he won't blame you. Only when you're safe will he be able to leave in peace. "
"He died a worthy death, a glorious death!"
The faces of the five spectators darkened, as though they had just swallowed shit.
"The hell, no, I feel like vomiting." Zhonggu Lu turned around and retched a few times.
"I have never seen such a disgusting scene. Such a disgusting Deity practitioner." Nangong Cheng could not help but retort as well. "Dongfang girly, are all you Deity practitioners like this? Fortunately, I'm a Demonic Immortal. "
The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. "This is the first time I've seen such a Deity practitioner with such a unique appearance as well, alright?" Please apologize to all the Deity practitioners in the entire world, hey!
"It's you guys!" Mei Xue was startled, a hint of panic flashed past her face.
"We meet again." Nangong Cheng coldly snorted. "Isn't this what they mean by 'the evils we bring upon ourselves are the hardest to bear'? Mei Xue, we have to properly settle the debt from back then. "
The expressions of the other two men changed as well. They picked up their weapons one after another, and looked at them with wary expressions.
"If you want to harm Mei Xue, you have to ask the longsword in my hand first."
"Hmph, you bunch of losers actually dare to spout such nonsense. Mei Xue, don't be afraid. We definitely won't let them touch you in the slightest. "
The two of them had determined looks, as they firmly protected the weak and fearful Mei Xue in the center. However, the two of them understood that it was three against five. In terms of numbers, they were basically not a match for them. They had no choice but to protect Mei Xue in the center, and began to retreat.
Unfortunately, before Nangong Cheng could even make a move, suddenly, with a swoosh, two gigantic vines drilled out from the side of the three men's feet. They reached a height of two meters, and the tip of the vines spun. In an instant, they split open, and two blood-colored man-eating flowers that were exactly the same as the ones nearby bloomed. They pounced towards the three of them.
Just as the three of them were about to once again enter the mouth of the flower, Mei Xue, who was initially standing the closest to the center, suddenly screamed out.
"Ah! ~!!" At the same time, she pushed with her two hands, successfully pushing the two men into the mouth of the incoming flower, while she herself rolled on the ground, distancing herself from the two flowers.
Before the two men could even react, and even the oath they made earlier was still ringing in their ears, they were personally pushed into the gates of hell by their lovers. In fact, before they could even ask a single question, their faces were filled with disbelief and shock as they disappeared into the gigantic flower's mouth.
She wondered if they would truly be able to live up to their words, and die honorably!
Mei Xue did not turn back to look at the two of them. After she crawled up, she instead ran in the direction of Zhu Yao and the others, as though she had discovered the danger of the grassland and wanted to distance herself from it. Unfortunately, she was still a little too slow.
Several dozens of red vines charged out from the ground, instantly wrapping around Mei Xue's body, trapping her on the spot. The red blood thorns on the vines pierced straight into her flesh, creating several bloody holes on her body.
Her expression instantly paled, and her eyes were instantly filled with fear. She struggled madly, wanting to crawl towards them. "Save me … Save you guys, save me … Save me …"
Zhu Yao frowned and turned her head away. Yue Ying and Yu Yan did not respond, while Zhonggu Lu rolled his eyes. Nangong Cheng simply spat at her heavily.
If she had not schemed against them so many times and snatched away the Nascent Divided Pearls, they might have felt a little sympathy for her. But now … Even if they were idiots, they wouldn't be able to reach out their hands. Especially when they saw how she could even push the men around her away without any hesitation. Saying that a person like her had the heart of a snake or scorpion would be an injustice, alright!?
Mei Xue did not struggle for long. More and more vines wrapped around her body, piercing her to the point where she was dripping with blood. However, the blood was completely absorbed by the green vines. Mei Xue's initially devastatingly beautiful face began to age rapidly. In just a few moments, she had already turned into a white-haired old lady, and her body was shriveling at a speed visible to the naked eye as well. It was as though all the nutrients in her body were being sucked away. The vines, however, grew even greener, and they were even flashing with a faint luster.
Red flower buds began to emerge from the vines, crawling all over the vines. They were growing larger and larger, growing to the size of a fist. With a light spin, ruby-like blood-colored flowers bloomed one after another. However, the petals were different from the man-eating flowers from before. There were only five petals, and they were formed from crystals.
"Everlasting Flower!" Zhonggu Lu fiercely widened his eyes, and his expression instantly changed. "The pollen of this flower is extremely poisonous. Breathing it in will harm your primordial spirit. Hurry and hold your breaths."
When Zhu Yao heard this, she immediately covered her mouth and nose. The others did the same as well.
As expected, the crystal shaped petals flashed with a red light, and with a few crisp tinkling sounds, they began to explode. In an instant, they turned into red powder that filled the sky, and they sprinkled down. Under the illumination of the sunlight, it was as though a red meteor shower had descended.
Fifteen minutes later, the red powder finally landed on the grass and disappeared without a trace. Mei Xue, whose original appearance could no longer be seen, had long been completely immersed within the vines of the Everlasting Flower. Suddenly, with a loud boom, the Everlasting Flower and the other three gigantic red flowers began to slowly shrink back into the ground. Even the holes they dug out from the ground had disappeared without a trace.
