Dangerous Situation

In another 1-2 seconds, Yu Jing wouldn't have had time to react before his head would have been severed.

"Rumble!"

At this critical moment, the rocks directly above were violently impacted, loosening and breaking apart. A figure fell along with the debris.

A swift fist swung towards the spot where the vine net had been broken.

"Snap!"

In Yu Jing's eyes, this punch struck the white-clothed woman's face at an angle, caving in the bones of her cheek.

"Yaaah!" With a scream, the female ghost's body was sent flying back three meters.

The evil spirit female ghost's scream stimulated the stitched giant corpse behind her. Meanwhile, Yu Xiaoxiao, with agile movements, darted around the giant corpse, severing its major joints and the tendons of its limbs. The giant corpse struggled to break free and protect its master.

"Just in time, Jiang Pengyu."

Yu Jing had already felt death approaching and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

The reason Jiang Pengyu could fall from above Yu Jing's head at such a crucial moment and hit the female ghost with a punch was all thanks to the thorough preparations everyone had made before entering the basement.

Before the incident, not only was it for Yu Xiaoxiao, but to prevent the team from being scattered by mental interference, Yu Jing had separated a small portion of his plant body and distributed it to all his teammates. Using Yu Jing as the center, they could sense each other's locations.

(Considering the dangers of plant bodies, Yu Jing did not implant these plants into his teammates' retinas. If it caused blindness, the situation would have been unimaginable.)

Previously, the team had been separated due to mental interference. Yu Jing, standing at the end of the underground passage before the iron door, was the first to sense Yu Xiaoxiao behind the iron door, as well as Jiang Pengyu and Men Qian in the hotel above.

Through signal sensing, Yu Jing had Jiang Pengyu lock onto his position from directly above. At the last moment, he broke through the barrier and launched a surprise attack on the evil spirit below.

Jiang Pengyu, descending from above, had a faint white energy vortex between his fists. Feeling the solid impact from his fists, he couldn't help but ask Yu Jing excitedly:

"Where did I hit?"

The female ghost, three meters away, had her cheek caved inward from Jiang Pengyu's punch. A fluorescent substance seeped from the cracks in her facial bones, indicating she was severely injured.

"You hit its head perfectly. The evil spirit is currently three meters away from us... It looks like it worked well. Follow me! When it tore through the vine net I released earlier, some of the plants have already invaded its palms, visible to the naked eye."

As Jiang Pengyu followed Yu Jing's gaze, he spotted a spiritual entity marked by Yu Jing's plants, which was the evil spirit female ghost, invisible to the naked eye.

"I'll trap it. Jiang Pengyu, you're responsible for shattering its body in one go."

Yu Jing stepped forward first towards the damaged Shen Yixuan evil spirit. His arm released a large amount of plant matter, enveloping the entire spiritual entity. A complete human silhouette was imprinted in the eyes of the approaching Jiang Pengyu.

"The core!"

Jiang Pengyu's body-tempering cultivation technique was related to the human body's meridians and acupoints.

The energy dissipating around his fists was a manifestation of his cultivation. Observing the human silhouette wrapped by the plant matter, Jiang Pengyu read the flow of energy within the opponent's body based on the different forces applied to each part of the plant, analyzing the energy core within the evil spirit Shen Yixuan's body.

He gathered powerful energy in his right fist and aimed it at the center of the chest, launching an attack.

Once the fist landed on the core, the outcome would be decided.

At the critical moment, Yu Jing, standing by and highly focused, noticed something was wrong. The female ghost's tightly shut eyes suddenly opened.

The female ghost seemed to have deliberately lay on the ground, feigning unconsciousness, to lure the two closer.

"Haha, simple-minded humans." A chilling voice echoed from all around.

"Jiang..."

Before Yu Jing could finish his words, the vines restraining the female ghost were torn apart by a pale arm.

The arm extended, aiming for Jiang Pengyu's right chest.

"Swish!" Before Jiang Pengyu's fist could land, his heart was completely dug out.

This scene occurred merely thirty centimeters away from Yu Jing.

"Snap!"

Without any pause, the claw closed. Jiang Pengyu's body collapsed to the ground, a gaping hole in his chest, his pupils dim and lifeless.

Yu Jing's eyes widened in shock, staring at Jiang Pengyu's death, frozen in place.

Shen Yixuan's evil spirit immediately grabbed Yu Jing's head. However, considering Yu Jing to be a 'high-quality target,' it didn't kill him immediately. Instead, it used its claws to sever all of Yu Jing's limbs at the root and threw them onto the ground.

"Little girl! Look at your boyfriend."

The voice echoed in the cubic room. Yu Xiaoxiao, who was entangled with the stitched giant corpse, cast her gaze over during a moment of respite.

In Yu Xiaoxiao's field of vision, Jiang Pengyu lay on the ground, devoid of any signs of life.

Yu Jing's limbs had been severed by sharp weapons. Although the wounds were being stopped from bleeding by the green plants, he had completely lost his ability to move.

Jiang Pengyu's death did not greatly affect Yu Xiaoxiao.

However, Yu Jing's severely injured appearance struck Yu Xiaoxiao's heart like a steel needle. No matter how much pain and hardship she had endured since childhood, Yu Xiaoxiao had never felt such intense distress.

The bloodline power hidden deep within her body was activated. Yu Xiaoxiao's pupils transformed from round brown irises to sharp, silver, blade-like eyes.

In an instant, Yu Xiaoxiao's speed doubled compared to before.

She determined that it would take a lot of time to kill the giant corpse by extracting its core, but time was of the essence. Yu Xiaoxiao used her sharp dagger to forcibly sever the roots of the giant corpse's legs, rendering it immobile.

Her light body landed and immediately turned towards the evil spirit Shen Yixuan, who was holding Yu Jing, closing in.

The icy killing intent emanating from Yu Xiaoxiao's body actually forced the female spirit, who had massacred hundreds of people, to tremble.

To Shen Yixuan, this evil spirit, Yu Jing held significant importance for preservation. He temporarily tossed Yu Jing's immobile body onto the ground nearby, focusing all his attention on the clearly changed Yu Xiaoxiao before him.

"Crack!"

His body hit the ground. The pain from his severed limbs, coupled with his wounds splitting open further as he fell, would be unbearable for most people.

However, Yu Jing had already experienced the taste of flesh being torn open in the Research Institute. Furthermore, the plant matter within his body helped to a certain extent in dulling the pain. Yu Jing's gaze was fixed on the stitched-together giant corpse, whose legs Yu Xiaoxiao had severed, causing it to fall to the ground.

His body was intensely craving to absorb energy from the giant corpse
