"Are you sure you want to make a move?" Lu Xiaotian eyed Hu Chunhong. This Demonic Beast had recently made a breakthrough, and though it was unknown how many years it had lived, its origin-essence was incomparably immense. Coupled with the fact that it was fighting on its home turf here at Devil Camellia Ridge, even though it had only just broken through, ordinary Integration-stage cultivators fighting it here truly wouldn't gain any advantage.
"A human cultivator actually running over to Devil Camellia Ridge. After snooping around for so long, if I don't make a move against you, could it be that I'm supposed to sit down and drink tea with you instead?" This was Devil Camellia Ridge, where the devil camellia vines possessed extremely formidable defenses. Even though he had broken through not long ago, Hu Chunhong still harbored a certain degree of confidence in his heart. The opponent was a human cultivator, and here in Overlord Devil Province, he possessed an innate advantage that put him slightly ahead. After his recent breakthrough, the surging demonic power within his body gave him a feeling that he must vent it without delay, and he was urgently looking for an opponent to thoroughly let loose and release some of it.
Before his voice had even faded, one of Hu Chunhong's vines suddenly swelled in size, transforming into a giant whip that lashed down directly toward Lu Xiaotian and the others. The moment this Demonic Beast struck, the surrounding demonic energy was affected by it, converging frantically toward the giant whip. This was the might of the Integration stage.
Under this single whip, Du Fenghu, Feng Ling, and Xiang Kuang all had a sensation of having nowhere to flee, as if the surrounding space was pressing in on their paths of retreat.
