Rustle!
As the Curled-Branch Swords pierced into it, the Azure Sun Vine's Root Ball trembled violently. Its outstretched stems and vines thrashed wildly, and the blazing-sun patterns on their surfaces erupted with dazzling white light.
To be precise, the light seemed to be woven from dark green and gold. It was so dazzling that it appeared pure white, making its true colors difficult to distinguish.
Lin Mo had not anticipated this turn of events, but he was not alarmed. He stood where he was, his face full of anticipation, waiting for the dust to settle.
