“This time it’s Xiaoyue’s home turf, so let’s avoid entering the monster’s attack range.”
The group nodded in unison.
Even without Chen Xiaoyan’s reminder, none of them dared to advance further.
The speed of those tentacle strikes was so fast that the human nervous system couldn’t detect it.
Before anyone could react, they were already bound.
How could they even play like this?
Under Liu Yue’s control, the Eight-Sided Han Sword seemed to transform into a fighter jet, repeatedly attacking the Abyssal Magic Vine back and forth.
Unable to find a proper target, the Abyssal Magic Vine could only swing its dozen or so tentacles in a powerless rage, smashing the ground or slicing through the air.
Of course, it wouldn’t just stand idly by while being attacked.
Its tentacles appeared to be wildly flailing in the air, but in reality, they were testing the Eight-Sided Han Sword’s flight path.
When the time was right, the dozen tentacles struck like lightning, binding the Eight-Sided Han Sword tightly.
But Liu Yue didn’t panic at all. With a gentle lift of her two fingers, the sword emitted a clear, crisp ring as the blade spun rapidly, instantly shredding the tentacles to pieces.
“Awesome, Xiaoyue,” Chen Xiaoyan couldn’t help but applaud her and felt envious.
Everyone has a martial arts dream, everyone has a cultivation fantasy.
Climbing walls and flying on swords was the dream of countless boys.
Too bad she ended up as a healer.
Not that being a healer isn’t great, but it’s just not as cool.
Before long, the Abyssal Magic Vine was ground down to a starlight trail and disappeared into the fissure.
Then, the flying sword returned to its sheath.
Actually, the Eight-Sided Han Sword didn’t need to be sheathed, but doing so would consume spirit power unnecessarily, which wasn’t worth it.
“Why do I feel like I’m dreaming back in the cultivation world?”
Hongchen Rumeng sighed.
“That’s because our Xiaoyue’s sword immortal skills are excellent. Look at that sword control—practically masterful.”
“This isn’t sword control, it’s object control. You need to reach level thirty to learn sword control.”
Liu Yue’s calm response made Chen Xiaoyan pause.
She was just complimenting her, but it turned out the Zhenwu Sect really was about cultivation?
So impressive.
Mu Qingxue and Sanxue quietly watched nearby. Although they felt a bit uncomfortable, they had to admit that woman was really skilled with the flying sword.
But well, she wasn’t weak either.
Thinking of the secret killing move passed down to her by Elder Sword Dust: Divine Sword Strike,
Mu Qingxue couldn’t help but feel eager to try it out.
“Bypass the fissure and keep moving forward.”
As long as it wasn’t a ground fissure blocking their path, Chen Xiaoyan led the group around each one.
This magic vine was neither particularly strong nor weak; only ranged attacks could solve it.
Liu Yue was the only one in the team with ranged attacks.
If they wanted to clear all the magic vines, who knew how much time it would waste.
Along the way, Liu Yue took down three more Abyssal Magic Vines.
The group then reached a valley.
It could also be called a mountain path.
But unlike the initial mountain path, this place was full of the marks of time.
The rock walls were no longer smooth but covered in moss.
They advanced cautiously and didn’t encounter any monster attacks until they exited the valley.
Outside the valley was a basin.
Surrounded by blood-red flowers dripping with dew, fragrant grass, and lush greenery.
If this wasn’t a dungeon, it would be a great scenic spot to check in at.
“These flowers smell awful,” Chongchong wanted to pick one and give it to Chen Xiaoyan, but as soon as she got close, a strong, foul stench hit her.
“Chongchong, come back quickly. Don’t wander off,” Chen Xiaoyan hurried over and pulled her back.
Then, she gave her a light bump on the head.
“Picking flowers in a dungeon? Seriously? Aren’t you afraid they might be monsters in disguise?”
Chongchong knew her reckless behavior wasn’t wise and lowered her head without arguing.
“I wanted to pick one for Xiaoyan-jie, but the smell was too bad.”
“How come I didn’t smell anything?”
“You’ll smell it if you get closer. It’s like rotten flesh… ugh,” Chongchong pinched her nose with disgust.
“Yeah, these flowers must be abnormal. Everyone, be careful not to touch them.”
“Got it.”
“Captain… look ahead.”
At this moment, Hongchen Rumeng suddenly turned around and whispered to Chen Xiaoyan.
Several dozen meters ahead, a huge flower bud stood upright.
The green and pink hues of the bud seemed to be brewing something, emitting a continuous glow.
Chen Xiaoyan was taken aback.
Level twenty-five—it had to be a boss.
“What the hell, a level 25 big boss?”
Hongchen Rumeng stared at the game system prompt in disbelief.
So what if it’s level twenty-five?
Even a level thirty boss has to be fought.
Otherwise, all their hard work would be for nothing.
“Get ready for the boss. Position yourselves.”
The group quickly took their places.
“In thirty seconds, Hongchen and Liu Dao open up, healer restore the aura.”
After saying this, Chen Xiaoyan sat down to restore her aura.
In about twenty seconds, her aura was fully restored.
Chongchong and Xian Yun also stood up one after another and nodded to her to signal they were ready.
“Start the boss.”
With Chen Xiaoyan’s command, Hongchen Rumeng and Liu Dao activated their Overwhelm States and charged forward with a Canglong Break.
The giant flower took the damage and immediately erupted with a burst of pink energy that sent the two flying.
The grass within ten meters bowed under the pressure.
The green-pink bud bloomed, revealing a stunningly seductive half-human woman inside.
Her upper body was bare, covered in pink floral patterns across her chest.
Her phoenix-like eyes with pink irises, fiery red lips, and three thousand strands of azure hair danced wildly in the air, bewitching and peerless.
If she were outside, she would definitely be a femme fatale who brings ruin to a country.
“This boss is really beautiful. What if we can’t bring ourselves to attack her?” Hongchen Rumeng joked.
“Tch, she’s so-so. I think Xiaoyan-jie is way prettier,” Chongchong said disdainfully but didn’t forget to flatter.
“Can’t bring yourself to attack? Then stay right here,” Liu Dao narrowed his eyes, raised his spear, and charged forward.
“Wait for me! I’m joking!”
The front line had already rushed up. Mu Qingxue, Liu Yue, and the others quickly followed up with attacks.
Only Chen Xiaoyan was inexplicably frozen, staring blankly at the boss.
“Xiaoyan-jie, aren’t we going in?”
Chongchong and Xian Yun looked at her in confusion.
“Xiaoyan-jie?”
“What’s wrong? Why isn’t she moving?”
None of them noticed that pink hearts were floating in Chen Xiaoyan’s eyes.
The demon flower’s seductive face showed a trace of confusion.
Why did her charm have no effect on the spear-wielding man, but this female human was under its spell?
Was there some mistake?
Charm shouldn’t be ineffective against the same sex?
The demon flower wanted to probe Chen Xiaoyan further, but the current situation didn’t allow it.
These hateful humans, all of them must die.
Outside the battlefield, Xian Yun and Chongchong were anxiously pacing.
“Xiaoyan-jie, what’s wrong? Don’t scare us.”
They tried many ways, but Chen Xiaoyan didn’t respond.
“What’s up with the healer? If she doesn’t heal soon, we won’t hold out,” Hongchen Rumeng shouted anxiously.
This level twenty-five boss’s normal attacks were like cutting into a major artery, and the health bar was dropping rapidly.
