My Lifebound Spirit Plant, the Thorny Vine, Proves Its Worth

Ling Pengyun, who had left Xia Zhi Mountain riding the Wind Shadow Peng, had been flying for about the time it takes to drink four cups of tea.

The Wind Shadow Peng beneath him suddenly slowed its flight, lowered its head, and looked with a hint of apprehension in its eyes at a dense forest several miles away, where dust was billowing and footsteps were constantly heard.

At the same time, it let out a cry, conveying to Ling Pengyun that there were many Demon Beast in that dense forest.

Because of the Recognition of Ownership Restriction, Ling Pengyun understood what Wind Shadow Peng meant.

The dense forest several miles away was so far that Ling Pengyun could hardly see what was happening inside with his naked eye, especially since the trees were also blocking his view.

However, he also had a way to deal with it.

He Hand Seals and used Aura Observation Technique to strengthen himself.

With the aid of the Aura Observation Technique, the trees in the Lin Zhong several miles away seemed to be nothing, and he could see the situation there clearly.

In the dense forest, a Black-haired Leopard exuding the aura of Foundation Establishment was leading nearly a thousand Qi Training Demon Beast, galloping wildly towards Xia Zhi Mountain.

Ling Pengyun fixed his gaze on the Black-haired Leopard leading the group of Demon Beast, sensing the strength of the Foundation Establishment emanating from the leopard. His pupils contracted slightly, and a look of relief appeared on his face as he muttered something under his breath.

"Fortunately, the Black Flame Leopard is only at the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment. In that case, it will be easier for me to hold off these Demon Beast for half an hour or kill a group of Qi Training Stage Demon Beast."

He thought that if he could stop the horde of Demon Beast, he would do so for a while; if he couldn't, he would leave.

Ling Pengyun waved his hand and patted the Storage Bag at his waist, summoning out the Azure Steel Mother-Child Flying Swords and the Mixed Rock Shield, two Second Rank Low Grade Law Artifact.

As soon as he took out the two Law Artifact, he Hand Seals Law Seals, condensed spiritual energy into the two Law Artifact, and then injected it into them.

The two flying swords, Qinggangzi and Mu, which were empowered by spiritual energy, gleamed with a cold light, and a Sword-Ray three zhang long suddenly appeared on the tip of each sword.

The Mixed Rock Shield erected a yellowish-brown light curtain, protecting Ling Pengyun and the Wind Shadow Peng he rode.

Then, Ling Pengyun Hand Seals hand Hand Seals again, and in just two breaths, he set up two Primal Water Technique around his body, creating two Primal Water Light Screen several feet in size.

After preparing for battle, Ling Pengyun observed that the group of Demon Beast was located in a dense forest. He narrowed his eyes and immediately devised a plan.

"That dense forest is vast, covering at least ten miles, and the power of the wood veins deep underground must be very strong."

He gently patted the head of the Wind Shadow Peng sitting down, reassuring it.

"Continue flying at full speed, and fly above the dense forest where the Demon Beast horde is located."

Upon receiving the signal, Wind Shadow Peng increased the speed at which it flapped its wings by several times.

In less than a hundred breaths, Wind Shadow Peng flew to that secret place above.

Just as they arrived at this location, the Foundation Establishment Realm Black Flame Leopard, which was constantly charging at the leader of nearly a thousand Demon Beast in the dense forest below, also noticed the unusual movement in the sky.

The Black Flame Leopard raised its head and looked towards the sky. When it saw a Foundation Establishment Cultivator riding a Flying Demonic Beast in the sky, its eyes turned fiery and it immediately stopped its charge.

At the same time, it roared, signaling the nearly a thousand Demon Beast behind it to stop and attack the Foundation Establishment Cultivator riding the Wind Shadow Peng in the sky.

After giving the signal, the Black Flame Leopard raised its head and looked at Ling Pengyun on the back of the Wind Shadow Peng in the sky, its eyes flashing a scarlet light.

Then it let out a low growl.

Within the vast expanse of Mount Sumeru, dozens of small black lights appeared around it.

These small points of light quickly grew larger, transforming into dozens of black fireballs the size of washbasins.

As soon as these black flame fireballs formed, they were launched by the Black Flame Leopard and blasted towards the Wind Shadow Peng riding on the Ling Pengyun in the sky.

The horizon.

Ling Pengyun, who had just ridden the Wind Shadow Peng to the dense forest above the Demon Beast horde, realized that he had been discovered.

Moreover, among the Demon Beast in the dense forest below, the only one, Black Flame Leopard at the early Foundation Establishment Realm, had already launched an attack, causing him to frown slightly.

"Being discovered by those Demon Beast has cost us the initiative."

Just as Ling Pengyun was distracted for a short while, dozens of black flame fireballs fired by the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Black Flame Tiger in the dense forest below also bombarded the outermost Primal Water Light Screen among the three defensive light screens protecting Ling Pengyun and Wind Shadow Peng.

"Boom! Boom!..."

The roaring sound continued.

The Primal Water Light Screen also Ripples Marketplace under the attack of those dozens of black flame fireballs.

During this time, nearly a thousand Qi Training Demon Beast in the dense forest below, under the guidance of the Black Flame Leopard in the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment, condensed various Law Technique.

The thousand Law Technique attacks were quickly unleashed by the nearly one thousand Demon Beast.

In the sky, Wind Shadow Peng's eyes flickered slightly as he saw so many Law Technique attacks coming from below.

Being in the vast sky, it naturally wouldn't be a target.

It flapped its wings continuously, swaying left and right, dodging at least half of the Law Technique attacks.

This move also greatly reduced the pressure on Ling Pengyun's defense.

Only about five hundred Law Technique attacks struck the defensive light barrier protecting Wind Shadow Peng and Ling Pengyun.

The outermost layer of the Primal Water Light Screen protecting both of them had already exhausted seventy percent of its remaining strength after just withstanding the dozens of black flame fireballs launched by the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Black Flame Leopard.

Now, more than five hundred Law Technique bombarded the area, and in just a moment, the Primal Water Light Screen was torn apart.

Immediately following was the second Primal Water Light Screen.

Like the previous one, this Yuan Primal Water Light Screen Primal Water Light Screen did not last long before being torn apart by the torrent of Law Technique.

Thus, the remaining five hundred or so torrents of Law Technique, with only a little power left, also bombarded the last line of defense protecting Ling Pengyun and the other, the magic shield light barrier supported by the Mixed Rock Shield.

The torrent of over five hundred Law Technique, having already torn apart the first two Primal Water Light Screen, had little power left.

In addition, that Dao Techniques shield of light was extremely strong.

Under these circumstances, the five hundred Law Technique, whose remaining power was greatly reduced, only slightly shook the magic shield before their remaining power was exhausted and they disappeared.

Taking advantage of the brief moment when the Demon Beast horde's attack landed, Ling Pengyun quickly Hand Seals and unleashed three Primal Water Technique in succession, creating three Primal Water Light Screen around his body before stopping.

Thus, he was protected by Dao Techniques shield light screen and three Primal Water Light Screen, a total of four light screens.

If the defense holds, there's no need to worry too much even if the Demon Beast below attack again; just replenish the shattered defensive light barrier.

Under these circumstances, Ling Pengyun also began to fight back.

He first waved his hand and took out the two Azure Steel Mother-Child Flying Swords that were already floating beside him, and threw them at the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Black Flame Leopard in the dense forest.

Then, he opened his mouth and summoned his Natal Spirit Plant, the Thorn Vine.

"Thorns."

"Use all your strength to transform into thorny vine seeds."

Upon hearing the signal, the Thorn Vine, no longer than a finger, emitted a burst of blue light, instantly conjuring up a hundred blue seeds.

In order to conjure these hundred blue thorn seeds, the spiritual power within the Thorn Vine was completely exhausted, and its aura became somewhat weak.

Upon seeing this, Ling Pengyun frowned.

"There are still too few thorn vine seeds."

The vines that grow from the seeds of the Thorn Vine vines are several times stronger than those generated by a regular First Rank Low Grade Entangling Technique spell.

Furthermore, because of the barbs on the Thorn Vine, the binding strength is much stronger than that of ordinary Entangling Technique.

As his thoughts returned, Ling Pengyun raised his hand and channeled a large amount of spiritual energy into the small section of Thorn Vine floating in front of him.

The Thorn Vine was originally Ling Pengyun's Natal Spirit Plant, and the two were of the same origin. The spiritual power that Ling Pengyun transferred into its body was no different from the spiritual power refined by the Thorn Vine itself.

"Thorns, once again, transform into seeds."

The Thorn Vine followed suit, using the Liquid Spiritual Power that Ling Pengyun continuously channeled into their bodies to conjure thorn vine seeds.

In the blink of an eye, Ling Pengyun's spiritual power was mostly depleted, and the Thorn Vine condensed into more than four hundred thorn vine seeds once again.

Adding to the hundred or so thorn seeds that had previously gathered from the Thorn Vine, there were a total of more than five hundred seeds.

Seeing that there were enough thorn vine seeds, Ling Pengyun stopped channeling spiritual energy into the Thorn Vine and opened his mouth to retrieve the Thorn Vine, which had exhausted its spiritual energy, back into his Dantian to nurture it.

"Although the vines formed from the thorn vine seeds are strong, the Black Flame Leopard in the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment among the Demon Beast below is fire-type, which has a strong restraining effect on the vines. Moreover, the thorn vines formed from the seeds are also of the first rank."

"With these five hundred seeds, it's probably impossible for me to kill that Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Black Flame Leopard in the face of an attack from nearly a thousand Demon Beast."

"In this situation, we can only trap nearly a thousand Qi Refining Demon Beast Qi Training Demon Beast in the horde, kill as many Qi Training Demon Beast as possible, and even rely on the vines transformed from the seeds to delay the horde of Demon Beast."

Looking at the more than five hundred thorn vine seeds in front of him, Ling Pengyun immediately made up his mind.

With a thought, he sent over five hundred thorn Thorn Vine seeds, which had been conjured from his spiritual power, towards the nearly one thousand Qi Training Demon Beast in the dense forest below, deliberately avoiding the Black Flame Leopard in the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment.

As soon as the more than five hundred seeds landed and touched the ground, they all flashed with a blue light.

Immediately afterwards, countless roots emerged from the more than five hundred seeds, penetrating deep into the ground and frantically drawing upon the power of the wood veins deep within this dense forest.

This place is a dense forest, and the power of the wood veins deep underground is quite strong.

With the support of the rich power of the wood veins, the growth rate of the more than five hundred seedlings accelerated considerably.

In an instant, a vine about ten feet long, covered with thorns and as thick as an arm grew from each of the more than five hundred plants.

Once these vines materialized, under Ling Pengyun 'Divine Sense control, they continuously wrapped around the four legs and even the bodies of the surrounding Demon Beast.

Because the Demon Beast were all looking towards the sky, very few of Demon Beast noticed the situation of the seeds on the ground.

In an instant, the four legs of more than five hundred Qi Training Demon Beast were entangled by the thorny vines that had been transformed from the five hundred seeds.

The thorns on the vines were numerous, causing the more than five hundred Qi Training Demon Beast that were entangled in them to wail in pain.

The Demon Beast entangled in thorny vines immediately began to thrash their limbs, trying to break free of the vines binding them.

However, the roots of the thorn vines extend deep into the ground, and are further enhanced by the rich wood veins beneath this dense forest, making them extremely resilient.

In addition, as it swings its four legs and pulls at the thorn vines, the countless barbs on the thorn vines will penetrate even deeper into its flesh, intensifying the pain felt by the Demon Beast.

Apart from about a hundred tough, strong-skinned, and powerfully brute-force-capable bovine and pig-type Demon Beast at the Qi Training Late Stage or Consummation Realm Refining stage, who broke free from the thorn vines' restraints.

The remaining four hundred or so Qi Refining early and mid-stage Demon Beast, bound by thorn vines, were still helpless against the Thorn Vine that had wrapped around their four legs.

However, these thorny vines could only bind the four legs of the four hundred-odd Demon Beast, restricting their movement; the four hundred-odd Demon Beast could still cast spells.

Even so, it's enough.

Qi Training Stage Demon Beast find it difficult to unleash their Inner Core Divine Power and Protective Yuan Qi.

Once Qi Training Stage Demon Beast is unable to move, it is no different from a target.
