Shocking! The female protagonist unlocked her powers by killing people!

The provocation tactic didn't work.

The strange wood spirit source is no match, but...

Ling Yi looked at the black tree in front of him. Under such desperate circumstances, what extent could the Ghost Vine enable the Wood Source and the Strange Wood Spirit Source to achieve?

Ling Yi took a step back, opened his arms, and the vines rushed up, tightly binding him and pulling him up to the tree trunk.

After the Ghost Vine Tree grabbed Ling Yi, it rose from the ground, and its vines surged like a tide towards a certain place, where that blinding white light reappeared.

Ling Yi, who was hanging on the tree, glanced at the white light. The white light flickered, and Ling Yi smiled. He did not stop it. The next moment, the vine passed through the white light and reappeared in the water.

As Ling Yi held her breath, she clearly sensed the ghost vines exerting force on her body, attempting to pierce her skin and devour her flesh.

Ling Yi relaxed his body and did not resist. The ghost vine tendrils couldn't wait to pierce into Ling Yi's body and began to absorb it, but soon, as if they sensed some terrifying existence, they all withdrew from Ling Yi's body.

The Ghost Vine, which grows amidst death and decay, is highly poisonous, but... Ling Yi is also poisonous, and the poison in Ling Yi's body is far more terrifying than the Ghost Vine.

After being stained with Ling Yi's blood, the Ghost Vine began to rot and naturally dared not consume any more of it. However, it was unwilling to let go of Ling Yi, so it used even more vines to entangle him.

"Wow!"

The ghost vines intertwined to form a tree that broke through the water's surface, standing in the lake. As soon as the black vines emerged from the water, they attacked people.

Most people had already evacuated from the shore of Changsheng Lake, but some remained. When they saw the ghost vines appear, they instinctively tried to attack, but their cultivation was far from sufficient. Before they could even make a move, they were entangled by the vines.

Ordinary people are not like Ling Yi; they do not have any deadly poison in their bodies and cannot affect the Ghost Vine. The moment the vine grabs those people, the Ghost Vine tendrils invade their bodies and instantly absorb them completely, leaving only a layer of skin.

Seeing this scene, everyone felt their scalp tingle. The others retreated, and those who remained were mostly soldiers. The students could run, but the soldiers and those in charge could not. If they ran, the vines would attack the others. Although they could not do anything to the ghost vines, they could buy some time for the others to escape!

"Ling Yi!"

Mu Shengyuan was being escorted back by soldiers, but when he looked up, he saw Ling Yi bound by vines and immediately stopped.

Yan Wuxin also noticed Ling Yi, shoved Mu Shengyuan, and looked at the soldiers: "You protect the princess and leave!"

After saying that, Yan Wuxin summoned a long sword and flew towards the Ghost Vine Tree.

Yan Wuxin knew he was no match for Gui Teng, so he immediately used a different kind of fire.

Yan Wuxin's cultivation was no match for the Ghost Vine, but the Strange Fire countered the Ghost Vine, so the Ghost Vine dared not easily come into contact with the Strange Fire, giving Yan Wuxin the opportunity to get close to Ling Yi.

Without saying a word, Yan Wuxin slashed down with his sword. However, the sword landed on the ghost vine without leaving a mark. Instead, the strange fire started burning along the ghost vine, but it was quickly extinguished by the ghost vine.

Ling Yi looked at Yan Wuxin: "The strange fire is useful, but your cultivation level is not high enough."

"Shut up, you brat!" Yan Wuxin saw the ghost vine attacking and quickly retreated to avoid the attack. At the same time, she scolded, "If you can't do it, then you can't do it. Why are you taking on this job?"

"Now look what's happened, I've already ruined myself."

In contrast to Yan Wuxin's worry and panic, Ling Yi remained as calm as a still pond: "She used to call me 'little sister,' but now she calls me 'brat.' People's hearts change so quickly."

"Still being sarcastic at a time like this," Yan Wuxin said irritably. "Are you really not afraid?"

“But this is fine too…” Yan Wuxin raised his hand to form a seal, and a ball of flame flew out to meet the attacking vines: “I don’t need anyone to comfort me.”

"Stay put, I'll definitely find a way to save you." As soon as Yan Wuxin finished speaking, she saw the flames that the ghost vine had wrapped around her be thrown back at her.

Yan Wuxin's expression hardened, and he quickly flew away to dodge, thus avoiding being injured by his own power.

After dodging the attack, Yan Wuxin looked at Ling Yi: "Xiao Yuan said before that you could deal with the three-headed python, so how did you get entangled in these vines?"

Ling Yi sighed: "Dealing with the three-headed python only requires sufficient strength, but dealing with the ghost vine requires a different kind of fire to completely eliminate it, and I do not have a different kind of fire."

This statement is true, but not entirely true.

Although Ling Yi didn't have a different kind of fire, her flames were not ordinary flames either. As long as her power was strong enough, she could still burn the Ghost Vine clean. However, Yan Wuxin didn't know this.

After listening to Ling Yi's words, Yan Wuxin, while dodging the attacks of the Ghost Vine, said, "Isn't there any other way to deal with this Ghost Vine?"

“Other ways…” Ling Yi smiled: “Yes, there are.”

Before Yan Wuxin could ask, Ling Yi said, "Have Mu Shengyuan come over and walk a few steps."

"No!" Yan Wuxin immediately refused, "Xiao Yuan has no cultivation right now. Getting close to these vines will surely kill her. You..."

Yan Wuxin almost blurted out, "Do you want Xiaoyuan to die?", but she immediately stopped herself from saying it.

She felt that Ling Yi wasn't that kind of person.

"What about me?" Ling asked, seeing that Yan Wuxin seemed hesitant to speak.

Yan Wuxin dodged the attack from the ghost vines: "It's nothing."

Ling glanced at her and explained that the strange wood spirit source still existed.

“The Strange Wood Spirit Source wants to protect the Wood Life Source and has persisted until now. I tried to provoke it a little before, but it didn’t work. It should be different if the real person comes to the scene.” Ling Yi said slowly, “Only if the Strange Wood Spirit Source restrains the Ghost Vine can you defeat it. Otherwise, let alone you, even if you add all the cultivators in the Spring Kingdom, you will not be its match.”

"Can we fight it just because the Strange Wood Spirit Source is holding it back?" Yan Wuxin was skeptical: "Our strength won't increase just because the Strange Wood Spirit Source is holding it back..."

Ling Yi said, "This is the only way I can do it. If you don't use it, I have no other options."

Yan Wuxin was about to say something when she heard a panicked cry from below: "Princess!"

Yan Wuxin looked down and saw the Ghost Vine attacking a soldier. Mu Shengyuan grabbed the soldier's hand and flung him away, then faced the Ghost Vine himself.

The rescued soldiers cried out in panic, wanting to rush forward to save more people, but it was too late. They could only watch helplessly as the ghost vine approached Mushengyuan!

Everyone thought that Mu Shengyuan would be entangled and devoured by the vines, but the vines stopped abruptly when they reached Mu Shengyuan. At the same time, Ling Yi clearly saw that the vitality wrapped in decay and death reappear!

Provocation is definitely not as effective as dealing with a real person.

"No, you mustn't touch Xiaoyuan!"

The strange wood spirit source was entangled with the ghost vine. Having witnessed the speed at which the ghost vine devoured flesh and blood, it knew better than anyone that as long as the vine touched Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan would surely die!

This time, the strange wood spirit's counterattack was stronger than ever before, as if it was burning its last bit of power to protect its master.

The Ghost Vine was entangled by the Spirit Source of the Strange Wood, making it impossible for it to properly control its vines to attack others.

The vines that were trapping Ling Yi were also affected and began to loosen.

Upon seeing this, Yan Wuxin immediately stepped forward and, taking advantage of the moment when the ghost vines loosened, took Ling Yi away and returned to Mu Shengyuan's side.

"Are you alright?" Mu Shengyuan asked worriedly when he saw the two of them return.

"I'm fine." Yan Wuxin shook her head, then looked at Ling Yi: "What about you?"

Ling Yi shook her head: "I'm fine."

"It's good that you're alright," Mu Shengyuan said. "You should leave here first."

Yan Wuxin asked, "Aren't you coming with us?"

Mu Shengyuan shook his head: "I can't leave..."

Yan Wuxin wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth, he heard Mu Shengyuan say, "I sensed it. It's inside that tree. I can't abandon it again."

"The Strange Wood Spirit Source won't last much longer," Yan Wuxin said. "It wants you to live; your staying here is definitely not what it wants!"

Ling Yi listened to their conversation without interrupting, lost in thought.

Are these supernatural sources truly chosen randomly based on fate?

Overdosing on medication can cause abnormal reactions in the body, let alone using the "Otherworld Source".

A mortal body can withstand certain things after cultivation, but... the source of the alien spirit exists from the moment a child is born. How can a mortal infant's body withstand it before it has even begun to cultivate?

Unless the person chosen by these otherworldly sources is inherently different.

She wanted to see what the difference was.

Ling glanced at the two who were still arguing, then used Flash to leave, disappearing from their side.
