Chapter 1597: Chapter 657: Fruit of Slaughter, Senluo Ghost King Fruit

After Ye Lingyue and Nian Xiaoxie were sucked into the Luoshu Mountain and River Painting.

"City Lord, will the Captain be alright?"

Bo Qing and Tang Tiansong stared at the painting intently, wishing they could stare a hole through it.

"Don’t worry, the Luoshu Mountain and River Painting is an object for Evil Exorcism, with the ability to suppress some of the Demon’s power. With Captain Ye and Nian Venerate’s strength, if they set aside their past differences and work together, they surely won’t fall victim to the Demon."

The Wanxiang City Lord said confidently.

Bo Qing and Tang Tiansong exchanged a glance, seeing deeper worry in each other’s eyes.

Set aside past differences and work together?

Is this phrase really suitable for someone like Ye Lingyue, who has a mindset of revenge?

For them, working together seemed absolutely impossible, a relief just not to be killing each other.

The Wanxiang City Lord gently flipped the scroll in mid-air, making it fully open, floating in the air.

The scroll expanded and stretched. If Ye Lingyue looked closely, she’d find that the Luoshu Mountain and River Painting actually used part of the Qiankun Technique.

Back then, Long Baobao had witnessed Ye Lingyue refining the Qiankun Life Bag. Later, he obtained some Qiankun Purple Gold Bamboo from Ye Lingyue. This ability of the Luoshu Mountain River Map to change size was due to the Qiankun Purple Gold Bamboo.

The entire painting emitted a warm Spiritual Power that enveloped it like sunlight, reflecting the scene within the painting onto the ground.

The situation of Ye Lingyue and Nian Xiaoxie within the painting was now completely visible.

Inside the Luoshu Mountain and River Painting, Ye Lingyue and Nian Xiaoxie were engulfed by the suction power, landing simultaneously.

Having had one experience of entering a painting, Ye Lingyue reacted faster than Nian Xiaoxie.

Upon steadying her feet, she heard a strange gust of wind.

A "swish" sound was heard as several dark shadows attacked.

Ye Lingyue’s eyebrows furrowed, her movement technique suddenly changed, and in an instant, she stepped onto the Nine Dragon Chant.

The dark shadows were fast, but the Nine Dragon Chant was faster, appearing as a white rainbow, dodging like a star shuttle amidst the dark shadows.

The Female Sword Nine Dragon Chant rose several dozen feet higher, halting beneath her as Ye Lingyue leaned forward to look downwards.

Only to see an astonishing Senluo Mother Vine standing proudly, its roots deeply embedded in the soil.

The size comparable to the full prime of Lady Qiu Tian that Ye Lingyue had once seen.

A mass of black, flower vines like octopus tentacles grew densely, like lush mid-summer willows.

At the very top of the Senluo Mother Vine, grew a Senluo Ghost Fruit King resembling a human head.

The Ghost Fruit King was dark red, presently motionless.

Perhaps having caught the scent of humans, the Senluo Ghost Vine that had just devoured a demon beast was still insatiable.

The Devil Vine continued to wave, and beneath it lay numerous demon beast remains, with occasional human bones visible, evidently some unlucky guards from the City Lord’s Mansion also suffered.

The vines transformed into multiple afterimages, creating muffled snapping sounds.

Upon entering the Luoshu Mountain River Map, Ye Lingyue had already noticed that the impact force of the Senluo Mother Vine was far more terrifying than what she had seen before.

Turning to Nian Xiaoxie, his landing spot was slightly better than Ye Lingyue’s, with some distance from the Senluo Mother Vine.

Evidently, he hadn’t anticipated the magnitude of the Senluo Ghost Vine.

But seeing Ye Lingyue avoiding mid-air, Nian Xiaoxie smirked coldly.

"Trash is trash, as long as I seize the vine first, I’ve won."

Facing the numerous vines, Nian Xiaoxie seemed completely unimpressed.

He raised his hand, with his spiritual power soaring, the Red Scorpion Fire emerged from it.

The Red Scorpion Fire erupted with intense heat, expanding, and the Fire Flame Scorpion within the flames came to life.

Its carapace gleamed with ghostly light, like armor, its hooked tail end emitting a blueish glow.

The Red Scorpion enveloped in flames leapt mid-air, its long scorpion tail aimed at the Senluo Mother Vine’s vines.

Upon contact, the flames wrapped around the vines fiercely burning.

The Senluo Mother Vine emitted a piercing screech, with multiple vines igniting.

"Haha, what Demon stands before my Red Scorpion Fire? Nothing much."

Seeing the Red Scorpion succeeding, Nian Xiaoxie became exuberant and smug.

"Godslayer Blade."

Nian Xiaoxie, no doubt worthy of being Fang Venerate level Alchemist, saw the Senluo Mother Vine ablaze and rapidly used spiritual power to form a scimitar-shaped blade, aiming for a clean cut of the vines.

Once the vines were in hand, victory in the competition was assured.

Victory seemed unexpectedly simple; Nian Xiaoxie was already seeing triumph within grasp.

The pale blue Godslayer Blade spun with formidable spiritual power, slashing towards the Senluo Mother Vine.

In the reception hall, Tang Tianqi and Third Young Master Jin’s group cheered.

"Nian Wu Venerable’s disciple indeed, subdued the Demon this swiftly."

"Indeed, look how that ugly freak got scared stiff."

The group chattered eagerly, analyzing the battle inside the Luoshu Mountain and River Painting.

Even the Wanxiang City Lord couldn’t help but sweat for Ye Lingyue.

Only Bo Qing, Tang Tiansong, and Xi Jiuye remained calm.

As the Godslayer Blade slashed at the Senluo Ghost Vine, it didn’t split into pieces as expected.

The Godslayer Blade struck the Senluo Ghost Vine; a bizarre sight occurred.

From the Senluo Ghost Fruit King growing on the Senluo Ghost Vine, a red glow emitted.

The entire Senluo Ghost Vine suddenly shook, the vines vibrating open and transforming into a wave of intense shock waves.

The shock waves, like the Martial Artist’s Primordial Power, were unbelievably fast, instantly dispersing the Godslayer Blade.

From the vine ignited by the Red Scorpion Fire, a torrent of liquid resembling blood poured out, quenching the flames.

Nian Xiaoxie’s smile froze.

The shock waves burst forth, transforming into gusts, assaulting Nian Xiaoxie.

Seeing the adverse situation, Nian Xiaoxie’s figure swiftly passed, trying to emulate Ye Lingyue and dodge away.

On the verge of escaping into the air, the Senluo Ghost Fruit King suddenly ejected mucous.

The mucus landed squarely in Little Xie’s eye.

He let out a tragic scream, darkness enveloping his vision, the mucous scorching like fire invading his eyes, he frantically tried to control the Red Scorpion Fire.

Yet a stench hit him as he realized.

The Senluo Ghost Fruit King had moved closer, its blood-red fruit exuding a crimson glow, a beastly mouth revealed.

The Senluo Ghost Fruit King bit down on Little Xie’s head, tearing it off.

Blood poured out, splattering all over.

Little Xie’s body, like a ragged bag, crashed to the ground.
