Chapter 1029: Chapter 1026: Let Go of My Master’s Wife
Si Youyou’s wretched scream made Xu Wendong’s scalp tingle; this was the first time he heard such a miserable cry from Si Youyou.
Without much thought, he hurriedly said to Jiang Xueyao, "President Jiang, that senior just sent me a message. I have to go out for a while."
Jiang Xueyao also saw the urgency and panic on Xu Wendong’s face and immediately said, "You go first, but remember to be careful!"
"Okay." Xu Wendong agreed, dashed out of the banquet hall, and as he soared into the sky, the Lingxiao Sword appeared beneath him, carrying him northwest.
At this moment, he was filled with anxiety.
After all, Si Youyou was in the Qinling Mountains!
It was precisely because she was in the Qinling Mountains that Xu Wendong felt such dread, because there was a Slayer Vine there that made him feel suffocated.
Though he didn’t know what Si Youyou had encountered.
One thing was clear; she most likely encountered that Slayer Vine; otherwise, nothing in the mundane world could harm her.
"This woman is so restless, what are you doing in the Qinling Mountains when you agreed to live in the mundane world?"
Xu Wendong was anxious, wishing he could appear next to Si Youyou immediately.
But with his current speed, even at full throttle.
It would take at least two hours to reach the Qinling Mountains.
He didn’t know if Si Youyou could hold on that long.
Whoosh!
Xu Wendong’s figure flashed across the night sky.
An hour passed in an instant.
By then, he had arrived in the territory of Huizhou Province, where the Qinling Mountains started from the Kunlun Mountains and ended in Huizhou.
"This is the only way!"
Xu Wendong landed atop a deserted mountain, immediately biting his fingertip to squeeze out a drop of blood onto the ground.
Watching the blood fall to the ground, Xu Wendong’s heart raced, feeling it in his throat.
He couldn’t reach the mid-section of the Qinling Mountains quickly, and distant water cannot quench a near thirst.
So.
The only thing he could do was to use this method to lure the Slayer Vine, since it had already consumed his blood.
To his disappointment.
Even after his blood hit the ground, he didn’t sense the presence of the Slayer Vine.
It was apparent.
The Slayer Vine must be spread too thin; even though it’s a terrifying legend, Si Youyou is ultimately a Nascent Soul Stage expert.
"Master’s wife, how are you now?" Xu Wendong soared up and quickly flew toward Si Youyou’s location.
As the Heavenly Dao Master of the Kunlun Mountains Minor World, Xu Wendong could communicate soul-to-soul with everyone in the Kunlun Mountains Minor World.
Si Youyou weakly said, "I’m surrounded by this green vine, but for now, it can’t break through my defenses. You’d better hurry."
"Wait for me!"
Xu Wendong pinching the spell with both hands, flashed across the sky like a meteor.
He was really worried about Si Youyou’s safety.
If she were in the Minor World, even if she died, as long as her soul wasn’t annihilated, Xu Wendong could instantly bring her back to life.
But this was the mundane world, if she died, not even a Daluo Golden Immortal descending would be able to awaken her.
One hour later.
Xu Wendong finally arrived at the mid-section of the Qinling Mountains, and from afar he saw a patch of bright green light amidst the mountains ahead.
In the glow, there was a faint sight of an egg woven from vines, resembling a gigantic dragon egg, emitting a sinister green glow in the darkness.
He could clearly sense that Si Youyou was trapped inside this egg, her aura weak.
At the same time.
Xu Wendong also saw a dozen Golden Core Stage experts in the vicinity who felt the strong energy there and came to investigate.
However.
None dared to approach because the sinister green glow made them feel a strong oppressive force.
Even from a distance, they felt an ominous vibe.
Let alone getting close.
"Release my master’s wife!"
Xu Wendong thunderously shouted, his voice echoing through the Nine Heavens.
At the same time.
He pinched the spell with both hands and summoned the Lingxiao Sword.
The Lingxiao Sword was a genuine Spiritual Artifact, cutting through iron like mud, severing hair with a breeze.
Whoosh!
The Lingxiao Sword flashed through the night sky, exuding destructive force, tearing through the darkness to appear before the vine-woven giant egg.
And at that moment.
A thick green vine suddenly materialized and collided with the Lingxiao Sword.
Boom!
A terrifying energy erupted instantly, sweeping away in all directions.
It also sent the Lingxiao Sword flying hundreds of meters away.
"What?"
Xu Wendong’s scalp tingled, and his eyes were filled with shock and fear.
He couldn’t remember how long it had been since he felt such astonishment, knowing that the Lingxiao Sword was indeed a genuine Spiritual Artifact!
Yet he never imagined in his wildest dreams that the Slayer Vine could withstand the Lingxiao Sword.
"Break!"
Xu Wendong couldn’t believe the Slayer Vine could be so powerful, he pinched the spell with both hands, and behind him, an endless ocean appeared.
Then he pointed into the air.
An endless stream of Sword Qi sliced through the small world, exuding world-destroying energy as it crushed toward the gigantic egg.
Wherever it passed, the void trembled, causing an illusionary sense that everything might be annihilated at any moment.
This scene left the observing cultivators stunned, feeling Xu Wendong had only a Foundation Establishment Cultivation Level.
Yet they never expected his move carried such terrifying power, no weaker than a Golden Core Stage Peak expert.
This left everyone unsettled.
Before they could react, the countless Sword Qi enveloped the green egg like a tidal wave.
Simultaneously, the egg woven from vines emitted a dazzling glow, seemingly resisting Xu Wendong’s assault.
"Break it!"
Xu Wendong, holding the Lingxiao Sword, fiercely thrust it into the ridge beneath him.
He knew.
The main body of the Slayer Vine was in the mountain, and it was difficult to inflict real damage by just harming its vines.
Sure enough.
When Xu Wendong thrust the sword into the ground, Si Youyou, drenched in blood, forcefully broke free from the Slayer Vine’s constraint.
She immediately stepped onto her Flying Sword, soaring into the air, her sky-blue long dress stained with blood, looking shocking.
However.
The Slayer Vine clearly didn’t want to let Si Youyou go, as an arm-thick vine tore through the darkness, reaching to ensnare her.
Xu Wendong reacted swiftly, immediately blocking in front of Si Youyou, the Lingxiao Sword crafting a destructive sword flower to fend off the Slayer Vine.
"Master’s wife, leave here first, I’ll join you shortly," Xu Wendong fended off the assault with a strained expression, wanting to take Si Youyou away with him.
But, with Si Youyou severely injured, withdrawing together was clearly impossible.
For this reason, he stayed behind to cover the retreat.
"I’ll restore my cultivation level first, then we’ll join forces to try and eliminate this guy!" Si Youyou’s face was pallid, recognizing the origin of the Slayer Vine.
Knowing this foe was exceedingly troublesome.
The best solution was to eliminate it.
Otherwise, it would hound them for the rest of their lives.
