Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

Chapter 345 Nangong Ruyu

"This looks like things are getting a bit tricky!"

Chu Yunfan murmured something, then paused the circulation of the *Huangdi Neijing* and said to the Water and Fire Dragon:

"Your injuries are quite serious. Go back to your cave and heal slowly!"

"Yes, Master!"

Upon hearing Chu Yunfan's instructions, the Water and Fire Dragon immediately answered respectfully.

Then, the water and fire dragon prepared to take Chu Yunfan to its cave.

However, at that moment, a discordant sound suddenly came from afar.

"A water and fire dragon at the Demon Emperor realm is a rare find, making it the perfect mount."

It seems I'm quite lucky.

"We've just entered, and we've already encountered such a rare and exotic beast!"

As soon as the voice fell, the person arrived beside the Water and Fire Dragon from dozens of kilometers away in an instant.

This man was dressed in a long, light green robe and held a folding fan; he was a typical elegant gentleman.

The words "Nangong" were embroidered prominently on the chest of his shirt.

This person is none other than Nangong Ruyu, a genius from the Nangong family of the Central Imperial Domain.

After taking a close look at the Water-Fire Dragon, Nangong Ruyu's smile became even more pronounced.

"Hmm, not bad, really not bad!"

As Nangong Ruyu spoke, countless vines suddenly emerged from the ground, completely encircling the body of the water-fire dragon, wrapping it up like a rice dumpling, leaving only its two heads outside.

Upon seeing this, the water and fire dragons instinctively began to struggle violently.

However, to the Water and Fire Dragon's alarm, these seemingly ordinary vines remained completely undamaged despite his struggles.

"Where did this monster come from?!"

My dragon clan, though not the strongest in the world, is still renowned.

Even against the mighty Demon Clan, my Flood Dragon Clan can put up a fight.

Surprisingly, I couldn't break this kid's vines!

The dragon stared intently at the newcomer with its four large eyes.

Just as the water and fire dragons were trapped...

At the same moment, a large number of vines also rose from beneath Chu Yunfan's feet, tightly binding him.

Immediately afterwards, the vines suddenly exerted their strength, tightening inwards as if trying to strangle Chu Yunfan.

However, no blood appeared after the vines tightened.

Because what shattered was just a wisp of air and a wisp of spiritual energy.

What the vines just entangled was merely the afterimage of Chu Yunfan left behind.

Chu Yunfan's true form had long since disappeared.

"Wow! You've got some skill!"

Seeing this, Nangong Ruyu let out a soft exclamation.

At the same time, countless vines suddenly sprouted from beneath Nangong Ruyu's feet.

Of course, these vines were not meant to devour their master, but rather to protect Nangong Ruyu from Chu Yunfan's sneak attacks.

However, given Chu Yunfan's speed, Nangong Ruyu only now remembered to defend herself, which was clearly too late.

In an instant, a ray of starlight swept across, and Nangong Ruyu's body instantly melted away, turning into a pool of blood.

The power of starlight is not only more powerful than ordinary spiritual power, but also...

It also has specific restraining effects on the physical body.

Legend has it that there is a divine water called the Three Lights Divine Water, which can dissolve everything in the world and instantly annihilate a person, body and soul.

These three lights are sunlight, moonlight, and starlight.

Among them, sunlight can erode the very foundation of a person's will. For powerful individuals above the Martial King realm, it is the origin of their soul, the core of their soul body, equivalent to the heart of their soul body.

Willpower is the foundation of a person's existence.

If one loses their will, even if they are alive, they are nothing more than a walking corpse.

Moonlight can dissolve the power of the soul, causing cultivators to lose their soul power.

For cultivators at the Martial King realm, this means they will directly fall from the Martial King realm and have no way to cultivate from then on.

As for starlight, it is capable of dissolving the flesh and bones of all living beings in the world, causing their physical bodies to perish.

Of course, ordinary starlight power, when applied to the physical body, does not cause such powerful damage that it can instantly kill a person; it can only be said to have a restraining effect on the physical body.

For example, the inner sect of the Qingyun Sword Sect cultivates the power of the Big Dipper, and each star has its own specific effect.

The restraining effect on the physical body is merely an inherent attribute of all starlight, and is only secondary.

Of course, the restraining effect of starlight on the physical body, combined with the unparalleled sharpness of the sword spirit power of the Qingyun Sword Sect, can achieve an indestructible effect, which is indeed one of the fundamental reasons why the Qingyun Sword Sect stands tall on the Qingyun Continent.

As for the starlight unleashed by Chu Yunfan, it possessed such great power that it could easily break through the defenses of the water and fire dragons and instantly melt Nangong Ruyu's physical body.

That's because Chu Yunfan can simultaneously draw upon the starlight power of hundreds of stars in the sky.

The power of the starlight from these hundreds of stars, when combined, possesses such immense strength.

As Nangong Ruyu's body turned into blood, Chu Yunfan's true form was revealed from the air.

However, Chu Yunfan's body, which had only been partially revealed, vanished in an instant.

"wrong!

He's not dead yet!

Otherwise, the vines on the water and fire dragon should have disappeared on their own!

Chu Yunfan's gaze sharpened, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

At the same time, a smug laugh rang in Chu Yunfan's ears.

"Hahaha!

Now that you've shown yourself, why continue to hide?

As soon as the sound faded, a vast expanse of vines suddenly appeared, densely covering the entire surrounding area.

If someone with trypophobia were here, they would probably be so scared that they would bleed from all seven orifices and die instantly.

Under the influence of these vines, Chu Yunfan's body was squeezed out of the air and made to appear.

As soon as Chu Yunfan appeared, countless vines quickly wrapped around his body and bound him tightly.

Then, Nangong Ruyu's laughter rang in Chu Yunfan's ears again.

"Now, I'll give you two choices."

First, submit to me!

The second one is death!

As soon as the word "death" was uttered, the vines on Chu Yunfan's body tightened instantly, as if they were about to strangle him to death at the slightest provocation.

Of course, this was just Nangong Ruyu threatening Chu Yunfan.

These vines only tightened for a moment and did not cause any harm to Chu Yunfan.

However, facing Nangong Ruyu's threat, Chu Yunfan remained calm and replied with the same words to Nangong Ruyu.

"Now, I'll give you two choices as well."

First, be my dog!

Secondly, it turns into dog meat in an iron pot!

The moment she finished speaking, the smile on Nangong Ruyu's face vanished instantly.

His once handsome face began to contort.

"court death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the vines on Chu Yunfan's body instantly straightened.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Chu Yunfan will face the fate of being torn apart by a thousand horses.

However, the unexpected always arrives before the outcome.

Just as Chu Yunfan was about to be strangled to death by the vines, he once again unleashed the "Shifting Stars" technique.

In an instant, Chu Yunfan's body had already swapped with Nangong Ruyu's.
