Chapter 1835: Chapter 1835: Annihilating the Demon Plant
The underground demon plant was directly locked by the Sword Qi, one struck the plant at its center, and instantly a fountain of blood surged forth.
The next second.
The demon plant, hidden underground, emitted a piercing scream, and then the earth cracked. A ball wrapped in countless tendril roots burst forth, its tendrils supporting the ground like tentacles, raising a gigantic tendril meatball.
Before Li Feng could strike with his sword again, the tendrils on this cluster of meatballs began to separate, just like an octopus, with tendrils dancing in mid-air.
As the tendrils separated, a sensual and alluring figure—a bit explosive in appearance—emerged from the middle of the meatball.
A few leaves covered the vital parts of the opponent, ivory-like, skin as pure and clear as snow, as smooth as silk, with long green hair draped across the shoulders, and the graceful upper body was particularly eye-catching.
But upon looking downward, the earlier bloodline-thrilling beauty was instantly obliterated, much like a mermaid whose upper body inspires imagination but whose lower half ends in a fish tail; similarly, the demon plant displayed a stunning upper body, yet the lower half was an ugly, octopus-like ball surrounded by numerous tendrils.
"Stop, I admit my mistake, I beg for your mercy, great lord."
The beautiful face of the demon plant showed a trace of melancholy, actually pleading with Li Feng.
Li Feng glanced at the beauty of the demon plant with interest.
"You say you know your mistake?"
"Yes."
The beautiful demon plant bit her lip, appearing somewhat pitiful, her expression carved deeply into the wood, involuntarily stirring the heart.
"Earlier offenses were compelled by necessity."
"Oh, compelled by necessity?"
Li Feng smacked his lips, playfully watched the beautiful demon plant, who remained composed and continued deferentially: "The lord is unaware; I am actually a captive demon plant of the Fire Ant Queen."
"The Fire Ant Queen granted me dominion over this valley to attract outside beast hordes in, then I would drive them into the back valley, providing food for her."
"The lord has surely seen the overwhelming swarm of fire ants; only the lord possesses unmatched combat strength, unparalleled bravery, but not everyone can face the mass fire ants with such ease. If I refuse to be enslaved by fire ants, the Fire Ant Queen would dispose of me and seek new demon plants."
"All I’ve done was out of desperate necessity, forced for survival, I beseech the lord’s great mercy to spare me this time."
"With the lord’s slaughter of countless fire ants this time, I am no longer under the fire ants’ control; I am willing to leave this valley immediately and will remember the lord’s benevolence. In the future, the lord has any requirements, I will do my utmost to repay."
"Tsk tsk, what a sharp-tongued demon plant, playing the beauty card; I wonder if Li Feng would fall for her trick."
Ouyang Qiuhai raised his eyes to gaze afar, though a few thousand meters distance is not far for cultivators like them.
The coquettish demeanor of the demon plant also naturally caught the eyes of both.
Sikong Yu slightly furrowed his brows: "This demon plant, having cultivated into human form, though half-human half-demon, indicates prolonged cultivation, at least of several thousand years."
"Earlier I observed her body covering hundreds of square kilometers of valley; her strength is absolutely formidable. Her plea for mercy now is likely due to feeling oppressed by Li Feng’s aura and realizing the extermination of the Death Valley ant colony, believing herself unmatched."
"Clearly, this demon plant’s spiritual wisdom is high; releasing her would surely bring future troubles."
"Should we warn Li Feng, he better not be swayed by her beauty and falter, truly letting the demon plant go."
Ouyang Qiuhai whispered.
"He shouldn’t be deceived so easily." Sikong Yu raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Hmmp, men aren’t always predictable."
Ouyang Qiuhai snorted softly through her jade nose.
"Finished talking?"
Listening to the demon plant’s pitiable plea, Li Feng responded lightly, while the demon plant kept a submissive posture: "I beg the lord’s compassion."
The demon plant bent forward, her figure instantly revealed in full detail, but the next second, Li Feng had not the slightest sympathy.
Transforming into a flash, he instantly appeared before the demon plant, without allowing her to react, Li Feng thrust a sword into her chest.
The demon plant raised her head, looking towards Li Feng in disbelief, wondering if this man had no compassion for her beauty.
"Why kill me, am I not beautiful enough?"
Li Feng gazed with indifference at the snarling demon plant: "Your blood is red."
"Moreover, you devoured several of my subordinates."
"How can I let you live?"
"Just for a few weaklings?"
The demon plant’s face twisted grimly; though Li Feng pierced her chest, it was clearly not her weak point.
"Since you’re not accepting my plea for mercy, then die."
The demon plant spoke, her beautiful upper body quickly withering, like dried twigs, while countless tendrils around her instantly wove into a net, entangling the earth, trapping Li Feng inside.
Li Feng saw this and sneered.
"Want to escape, do you think you can?"
Li Feng raised his hand, lifting the King Sword above his head, channeling the Thunder Flame Golden Core, the sword emitting waves of fire and shooting thunder light.
Without any frills, he swung a strike, immense Thunderflame Sword Energy smashed into the enveloping tendrils, a vast blood mist swirling.
Li Feng struck with a sword, and another sweep quickly shattered countless tendrils and tentacles of the demon plant, falling piece by piece.
"Destructive Flames."
Li Feng hovered in the air, observing the shattered tendrils without distinguishing them, for demon plants, unlike the Demon Clan and Spiritual Beasts, have no hearts, only a life kernel that can circulate throughout their body.
This cannot be discerned at all.
Li Feng did not linger, directly summoning the opposing Flame Powers of Vermilion Bird and Candle Dragon, the two flames intertwining instantaneously.
The collision of these incompatible flames instantly released a powerful energy shock, sweeping in all directions from Li Feng.
The momentum, akin to a small atomic bomb’s force, sent a mushroom cloud soaring into the sky, and where fire waves swept, the demon plant’s body rapidly burned into ashes, leaving no residue.
Below this strike, a crater hundreds of meters deep and nearly a thousand meters across was blasted out.
This strike released most of the energy Li Feng had absorbed earlier, greatly relieving him, as absorbing too much energy could lead to indigestion, especially excess scattered in meridians and flesh.
"You truly struck hard."
Landing at the boundary, Ouyang Qiuhai glanced at Li Feng, commenting with tsk-tsking.
