Chapter 87: Ch 87: A Lesson (2)
"Alright."
Ye Yun nodded and took out a spear. Both of his hands shook, and the spear in his hand instantly pierced towards the surface of the plant.
A muffled sound was heard. The power of Ye Yun’s spear wasn’t weak. However, no matter how big the penetrating force was, it was useless. It was as if he stabbed into a thick layer of rubber.
A strong rebound force burst out from the surface of the plant and bounced his spear back.
Ye Yun frowned. "How could this be? My spear is actually unable to deal with this plant."
He never thought that the plant’s defense would be so powerful. It was simply invulnerable.
Just as he was about to thrust his spear forward at high speed, a dense sound broke through the air.
In just a moment, tens of thousands of tiny vines materialized on the surface of the plant. Like a bolt of lightning, they wrapped around Ye Yun’s body from all directions. This startled Ye Yun. He kept waving the spear fiercely. In an instant, countless vines were slashed down.
However, the vines seemed endless. No matter how he slashed through them, they would grow immediately. As they bound his legs, Ye Yun lost his balance and fell to the ground.
In an instant, countless vines shot out and tightly wrapped Ye Yun’s body. Ye Yun wanted to break free, but he could not break free at all.
At the same time, the huge mouth of the plant opened, spit the man out to the side, and threw Ye Yun’s body in its mouth, replacing the man who was about to be devoured.
The young man let out a long sigh of relief as he stood up with a delighted expression. He had finally escaped death.
"Idiot!"
The young man mockingly stared at Ye Yun. It was obvious that he didn’t have any intentions of saving him. The fear and helplessness on the young man’s face were replaced by delight and complacency.
"You changed your expression so quickly."
How could Ye Yun not understand that he had been fooled? Still, Ye Yun was calm and composed even though he was about to be devoured by the plant.
"I should really thank you. If it wasn’t for your stupidity, I wouldn’t escape this plant."
The young man showed a proud smile on his face. Then he looked at Ye Yun with disdain and continued to say, "As a reward for saving me, I’ll tell you about this plant. According to my grandfather who also entered this space to obtain the chance to walk the path of Cosmic Cultivation, there are special plant species in this space. This plant feeds on people and Beasts. After being devoured, they will soon turn into blood. Once devoured by the plant, there is almost no hope of breaking free unless someone is willing to be the scapegoat for the person who was swallowed, like what happened to you just now. Once attacked, this plant will give up on devouring that person and attack that person."
The young man smiled complacently after he explained. He didn’t show any signs of guilt and just looked at Ye Yun as if he was looking at a fool.
"So, you’re saying that you did all of this on purpose?"
A cold light flashed in Ye Yun’s eyes. He felt betrayed. In the end, he still underestimated the darkness within a person’s heart.
"Well, isn’t it obvious? You are truly an idiot." The young man seemed irritated with Ye Yun’s question.
"Don’t worry. I will live a good life. Otherwise, you will die for nothing!"
After that, he laughed proudly and then started to walk away.
Ye Yun laughed at himself, at his own stupidity. He saw the young man walking away slowly.
The young man had not walked far when a series of cracking sounds suddenly echoed in the air. He couldn’t help but look back.
He saw that Ye Yun, who was tightly bound by countless vines, was surrounded by a surging and sharp qi that transformed into countless spear lights. The spear light crisscrossed and cut through the vines easily.
The terrifying slash of the spear light completely shattered the vine. Ye Yun broke free, and stood there, staring at the young man with his cold, emotionless eyes
"This...!"
The young man was stunned. He didn’t expect Ye Yun to break free from the restraints of the plant so easily.
"You actually managed to escape from death. Looks like you aren’t weak after all. Then... Why have you disguised yourself as a weak cultivator?"
The young man calmed his heart. He could feel that the aura on Ye Yun’s body and he could not help but suspect that Ye Yun was disguising his cultivation. However, he didn’t feel threatened by him because, in his eyes, he was still more powerful than Ye Yun.
As for the fact that Ye Yun was able to free himself from the restraints of the plant while he couldn’t, the young man did not think much about this matter.
"I saved you out of kindness, but you put my life on the line. Tell me, how should I punish you?"
Ye Yun’s tone was cold, and his body emitted a murderous intent. If he had not comprehended the power of the spear, he would not be able to break free from the restraints of the plant. The consequences would have been unimaginable, and all of this was because of the vicious young man.
"This space we are in, my grandfather once told me that it is more like a life and death game. As long as you survive, it means victory. You should never care about means of surviving?"
The guy smiled indifferently
Ye Yun nodded. He understood what the young man wanted to say, but he could not help but try to retort, "Even if it means you will be killed in return if you fail?"
The young man nodded and said, "The move you used earlier was indeed amazing, but I doubt you could continuously use it. Even if you can and let’s say, you succeeded in killing me, I will still not be the least bit regretful of my earlier actions. Killing me means I am just too weak to survive. Moreover, I won’t be..."
Rumble~
"BOOM!"
Before the young man could complete his sentence, the sky rumbled with a thunderous roar and then, something fell from the sky not far from the two of them, creating a large pit on the ground.
"What was that?"
Ye Yun and the young man were puzzled. They forgot about each other for a moment and moved towards the pit slowly, only to discover a young man standing. The clothes on his body were tattered, however, there were six star patterns in his eyes.
However, something about him was off, very off. His body was exuding dark mist, and his eyes were completely black!
Those star patterns in the depth of his eyes made him look even more demonic.
