Chapter 582: Chapter 580 Mutated Thunder Hiding Vine_1
As soon as he stepped into the Thunderfall Waterfall, Lu Xuan found that the Thunderfire Order in his hand was surging with an extraordinary thunder fire, striving to disperse the force of the thunder overhead pouring down.
But soon, the thunder fire on the command token was like a candle in the wind, shaking violently, always on the verge of being extinguished.
Seeing this, Lu Xuan quickly channeled spiritual power into the Thunder Silk Clothes draped over him.
The thin Thunder Silk Clothes erupted with many subtle threads of thunder, moving flexibly like tiny snakes. As the force of the thunder thundered down, it was either absorbed or neutralized by these “thunder snakes” on the Thunder Silk Clothes, reducing their power by more than half.
The pressure on the Thunderfire Order was considerably reduced.
Braving the wild thunder, the five of them slowly moved forward.
The one-eyed middle-aged man at the front occasionally stopped, seeming to judge their forward route.
As the cultivation levels of the four people next to him were all extraordinary, three of them were at the Foundation Establishment Perfect stage and one was a Foundation Establishment Late-term cultivator, Lu Xuan did not completely probe out with his spiritual sense, maintaining a spiritual sense level of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Late-term cultivator.
However, the Clear Dragonfly Feather Robe and the Earth Spirit Doll were on high alert, ready to defend against any hidden attacks.
In this manner, after about half an hour, the five of them finally passed through the thick Thunderfall Waterfall.
“Finally out, staying in that Thunderfall Waterfall, you couldn’t afford to slack off for a moment.”
The white-haired old woman sighed.
The Thunder Silk Clothes on everyone’s bodies gradually calmed down, the thunder snakes turning back into threads and burrowing into the seams of the clothes.
“Everyone, don’t let your guard down. After entering the Ancient Herb Garden, we face formidable restrictions everywhere.”
Luo Ming reminded aloud.
As he spoke, numerous snowflake-like patterns appeared in front of five people, blocking out the sun, though exceedingly beautiful, one could sense the destructive power concealed within.
“Among the five of us, myself, Thunder Fellow Daoist, and Daoist Friend Yuan, all have remarkable achievements in formations. The three of us will break the restrictions.”
“Friend Lu, Wang Fellow Daoist, you two guard us, preventing any demon beasts from attacking us and delaying our operation.”
The one-eyed middle-aged man spoke solemnly.
“As far as I know, in the peripheral area of the medicine garden, there’s a strange demon serpent lurking. These serpents have strong concealment abilities, difficult to detect with spiritual sense, they move mysteriously and as fast as lightning, excelling in surprise attacks.”
“If they fail to hit their target, they quickly retreat and lurk in the dark waiting for an opportunity.”
“Although their strength is not very strong, they are extremely tricky and hard to defend against.”
“Don’t worry, concentrate on breaking the restrictions, Wang Fellow Daoist and I will not let those demon serpents interfere with you.”
Lu Xuan replied earnestly, with Wang Yanzhong nodding vigorously in agreement.
Luo Ming and the other two each applied their techniques, fully concentrated, their attention completely focused on the powerful restriction in front of them.
Lu Xuan and Wang Yanzhong, one on the left and one on the right, each chose a position, their spiritual sense constantly scanning.
“Friend Lu, if you can’t handle it by yourself, you can call me over for help.”
Wang Yanzhong said without expression. He was somewhat dissatisfied with Lu Xuan’s addition to the team at the beginning of their journey into the ancient herb garden.
But as a Loose Cultivator who has cultivated to today’s realm, he still understood the importance of prioritization.
No matter how reluctant he was, after entering the medicine garden, they were companions. Any further dispute would only harm and not benefit.
“Alright, Wang Fellow Daoist, let’s hold the front together and keep our daoist friends free from interference.”
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
He held the Wind-Thunder Sword, extended his spiritual sense, his eyes appeared a layer of spiritual light.
With the enhancement of the Breaking Illusion Eye Technique, the thick thunder seemed to be wiped away, revealing the most fundamental spiritual power fluctuations.
Suddenly, he sensed something unusual in front of him, his spiritual power was focused on his eyes. He saw a transparent spiritual force slithering towards him at high speed from more than ten yards away.
It moved with incredible speed, reaching Lu Xuan in an instant.
“Bring it on!”
Lu Xuan snorted coldly, the Wind-Thunder Sword crackling in his hands, launching a pitch-black hurricane mixed with the power of thunder, sweeping towards the incoming Demon Beast.
“Hiss hiss!”
The Demon Serpent had not anticipated that Lu Xuan had already detected its presence, let alone foreseen its trajectory, colliding head-on with the intent of the Wind-Thunder Sword.
In pain, a large transparent Demon Serpent revealed itself, long, thin wounds appearing on its body with silver-white blood constantly flowing out from the injuries.
The Demon Serpent let out a grunt of pain, its figure disappearing again within the endless thunder light, gone in an instant.
“Friend Lu, what a fine swordsman you are!”
Wang Yanzhong, on the other side, had just spotted the Demon Serpent attacking and was about to aid Lu Xuan when he noticed Lu Xuan repelling the Demon Serpent with one mere encounter.
This greatly exceeded his expectations.
He hadn’t expected that Lu Xuan, who seemed ordinary in cultivation level, possessed such exceptional Sword Dao skills. In a flash, he seized that fleeting opportunity and severely wounded the mysterious Demon Serpent with a single sword blow.
“Wang Fellow Daoist, you flatter me.”
Lu Xuan saluted from afar, his eyelids twitching as he looked beyond the tall youth.
His Spiritual Sense was far superior to that of other late-term Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Additionally, he had cultivated “Breaking Illusion Eye Technique”, and would occasionally consume the Evil Eye Pupils harvested from the Hundred Pupils’ Bizarre Tree like snacks, significantly boosting his vision to an extremely terrifying extent.
In his eyes, a Spiritual Power fluctuation like a long serpent was rushing towards Wang Yanzhong’s position at a high speed.
Yet the tall youth seemed unaware, and the attack was just about to reach him from behind.
“Watch out!”
Lu Xuan called out a warning.
Knowing that Lu Xuan wouldn’t make unfounded accusations, Wang Yanzhong triggered the lightning within him, his muscles swelled as he swiftly turned around to throw a heavy punch backwards engulfed with powerful thunder energy.
A transparent Demon Serpent collided head-on with his fist was blown backwards by the sheer force of his punch even before it could bite him.
“Thank you for your warning, Friend Lu!”
The tall youth turned around and expressed his gratitude to Lu Xuan.
He hadn’t sensed the Demon Serpent approaching him until it was very close. Surprisingly, Lu Xuan, who was standing further away, was the first to call out a warning. While feeling grateful, he also gained a whole new understanding of Lu Xuan’s strength.
At least in terms of Spiritual Sense, he lagged behind Lu Xuan by a significant margin.
Lu Xuan responded with a smile, his gaze pondering as he watched the front.
After fending off several attacks by the Demon Serpent, he finally noticed something peculiar.
It seemed that there was more to this Demon Serpent than meets the eye.
Under the dual effects of his pupil skill and Spiritual Sense, the Demon Serpent’s whereabouts were revealed without a trace.
He noticed that although the Demon Serpent was incredibly fast and elusive, its appearing and disappearing movements mostly occurred within a specific area.
“Logically speaking, a normal Demon Beast wouldn’t exhibit this kind of behavior. Is it constrained somehow, or is it due to some other factors?”
As Lu Xuan pondered, an idea suddenly struck him. When he blocked the Demon Serpent’s attack once again, he released a wisp of Qingmu Origin Energy from his fingertips, concentrating his mind on the Demon Serpents transparent body.
[Mutated Thunder Hiding Vine, a fourth-grade Spirit Plant mutated. It has a remarkably strong attacking nature. The plant can hide within the thunder, making it difficult to detect. Its movements are mysterious, and its speed is extremely fast, not inferior to a regular Fourth Grade Demon Beast.]
“So, it’s not a Demon Beast, but a Mutant Spiritual Plant.”
Lu Xuan had a sudden revelation.
