Chapter 622: Fighting with Azure Ivy
After seeing off Mu Shu and Mu Qi, Li Changxiao quickened his pace and at the same time tightly gripped the hilt of the sword. If he noticed anything unusual, he would draw the sword in an instant.
The huge rocks collapsed, dust filled the air, the cave was in a complete mess, and there were also Azure Ivy entwined and twisted, as if alive, no... Azure Ivy was an extremely rare living thing. It was born and raised by nature, and it was the result of creation. Throughout the long history, Azure Ivy was born only a dozen times.
Li Changxiao had confidence in his position and would not lose his composure easily. Even though the environment was harsh and full of dangers, it did not affect his pace.
The dark tunnel became wider as they walked further, with walls made of dirt and rocks on the top, bottom, left and right. The cultivators of the Void Refining Sect had the ability to reach heaven and earth, and mere rocks and dirt could not hinder them at all.
However, this place is special. If Li Changxiao wants to rush in and forcefully break through the mud layer and leave, it is unlikely. The layout of this place is not as simple as it seems. According to Mu Shu, this place seems to have become a kind of transportation control device.
However, what kind of transportation-control device it is is unknown.
Li Changxiao doesn't seek to do things perfectly, but he is always sure of his own measure in everything he does, never reckless or radical, and never acts rashly. He was like this when he first started practicing, and now that he has made some progress, his mind and actions are naturally more stable.
Therefore, although the situation here seems critical, it is still within control. Li Changxiao continued to walk, and suddenly saw a vine coming to attack him. He drew his sword to block it in an instant, and a clear "bang" sound resounded around, making people's eardrums hurt and sparks flew everywhere.
Li Changxiao did not retreat a single step, and slashed horizontally the moment he drew his sword, but the Azure Ivy quickly retracted, dodged the slash, and disappeared again. Li Changxiao was not someone to be trifled with, and when he saw the Azure Ivy gradually disappear, he pinched his fingers and blew hard.
The next moment, a strong wind blew up, bringing with it an extremely cold and frosty air, freezing the gradually shrinking Azure Ivy. He kicked the long sword again, using the "sword kicking style". This seemingly light kick made the long sword fly out like a meteor falling to the ground, and with a "dong" sound, it nailed to the Azure Ivy.
The Azure Ivy broke, and Li Changxiao went over to draw his sword, thinking to himself, "During our fight just now, the Azure Ivy was flexible and strong. It's really not an ordinary thing. And after such a long time, it can still maintain this strength. It's really not easy."
Li Changxiao picked up the broken section of Azure Ivy and looked it up and down. He found that this vine was not the main body of Azure Ivy, but a branch derived from countless years of evolution.
The part with Dao Fruit on it is the body of the Azure Ivy. Li Changxiao looked back. He had seen five sections of the Azure Ivy since he walked through the dark cave. The number of Dao Fruits decreased successively, but the quality became higher in between.
"The Azure Ivy came with bad intentions. The ground was shaking just now. It should be because the Azure Ivy was stimulated and moved underground. So it seems that the Azure Ivy is probably very large."
Li Changxiao walked towards the depths, and thought of the beating of the Azure Ivy just now. It seemed ordinary, but in fact it was in line with a certain "sword way". He guessed in his heart that this Azure Ivy was used to nourish thousands of Dao fruits, and vice versa, the Dao fruits were actually also nourishing the Azure Ivy all the time.
Li Changxiao guessed that Mu Qin's Dao fruit should be on the sixth Azure Ivy. He only needed to pick the Dao fruit and leave. So he quickened his pace and walked deeper. After walking about three miles.
A vine suddenly sprang out from the ground and whipped at him. The seemingly ordinary whipping actually contained dozens of Dao essences. Li Changxiao dodged to the side and drew his sword in mid-air. The sword body was stained with a layer of scorching air waves, and the power of the fire seal in the Ten Immortal Seals was completely integrated into the sword body. When the sword was slashed, the sharp slashing power and the scorching burning power combined with each other, but it failed to cut the Azure Ivy immediately!
A thin film of halo emerged from the body of the Azure Ivy, which was actually resisting Li Changxiao's attack. The two forces competed with each other. At the same time, Azure Ivy vines stretched out from countless directions, up, down, left, and right, trying to completely wrap around Li Changxiao.
Li Changxiao opened his mouth, and the two pills of life and death flew out of his body, circling around his side and transforming into a killing force, smashing the countless attacking vines into pieces in an instant.
However, the offensive did not stop there. A vine about the thickness of a thigh with countless Dao fruits came from the right side. Li Changxiao drew his sword to defend himself and fought head-on with the vine. He was immediately blown away and smashed on the layers of cave walls.
A series of rumbling sounds were heard, and the underground was already in a mess, filled with broken rocks and dust. Li Changxiao thought to himself that it was worthy of being a divine object in the world, its power was truly immortal.
The strike just now came from the real body of the Azure Vine. Li Changxiao could see clearly that there were a total of 3,798 colorful Dao fruits on it that were sparkling with halos.
Li Changxiao seemed to be competing with a Azure Ivy, but in fact he was competing with 3,798 Tianjiao and their Dao Fruits. He was caught off guard and was slapped away.
But he was not injured, just his clothes were dirty, his hair was messy, and he looked a little embarrassed. Before he could rest, suddenly, a vine sprang out from the ground, without any sound or sign, and pierced Li Changxiao's chest in an instant.
Blood was dripping. There were 21 Dao fruits on this Azure Ivy. It was the fifth Azure Ivy I had seen along the way. Each of the Dao fruits on it was the result of a lifetime of enlightenment by a peerless genius, and its strength was terrifyingly strong.
Fortunately, Mu Shu and Mu Qi picked their own Taoist fruits respectively. Otherwise, although this Azure Ivy is powerful, it would be much more difficult to deal with if Mu Shu's wisdom was also present.
This sudden attack actually coincided with one of the twenty-one Dao fruits on this vine, a black Dao fruit. This Dao fruit came from a genius of the Mu Mansion, who was a very powerful assassin and had made great achievements in assassination.
Seeing Li Changxiao's chest being pierced, the Azure Ivy gradually calmed down and retreated underground. However, just as it was about to disappear completely, a long sword suddenly penetrated the ground and accurately pierced the fifth Azure Ivy.
This sword pierced straight into the body. The body of the Tianqing vine was as strong as iron, yet as flexible as a cotton rope. It was the most difficult thing to tangle with and hard to cut. Li Changxiao had fought with the Tianqing vine several times before. Even though he used the Ten Immortal Seals, the Creation Technique, and the Fuhua Sword Technique, he was still unable to cut it off with one sword.
However, at this moment, Li Changxiao, who was clearly dying after being pierced through the chest, was not hurt at all. He thrust his sword into the ground and killed the fifth Azure Ivy with the sword when it let down its guard.
Li Changxiao's long hair fluttered, the corners of his mouth raised, and he pulled hard, and saw that the Azure Ivy hidden underground was pulled out with its roots and Dao Fruits, revealing part of its true body. It turned out to be a blue-black vine that was more than a hundred feet long, with twenty-one Dao Fruits attached only at the front part.
The ground was plowed into a long furrow, and the Azure Ivy conveyed many emotions such as fear, confusion, anger, etc. It clearly felt that the swordsman had been pierced through the chest by it, so why was he completely fine?
Li Changxiao's eyes were uncertain, and the corners of his mouth were raised. He grabbed the Tianqing vine with one hand, pulled it hard again, and swung it, and saw that the Tianqing vine was not only more than a hundred feet long, but also much longer.
He was determined and refused to let go once he had grabbed it. He pulled the ivy and ran along the tunnel at a very fast speed, trying to pull it out of the ground completely.
But seeing that the vine was endlessly long and frighteningly large, when it was pulled to a certain length, Li Changxiao was surprised to find that there were Taoist fruits hidden on the vine. He suddenly realized that the five Azure Ivy he saw had been nourished day by day and had long been connected and grown into one.
The vine was more than ten thousand feet long, and had five to six thousand Dao fruits on it, which was quite terrifying.
