The group remained silent for more than half an hour.
"arrive."
Lin Luanqiu frowned, hovering in the air, cautiously looking at the unknown rift. He felt a slight chill in his heart. He didn't know when the spatial rift would erupt, what kind of monsters were hidden inside, or even whether he could survive the day.
"This spatial rift... how can it release black lightning? It looks so eerie..." Jiang Yueying's face was grim and uncertain. Intuitively, she could sense the energy within the spatial rift was rapidly increasing, and it was not far from completely exploding—perhaps in a minute, perhaps in ten minutes.
"The presence of black lightning indicates that this spatial rift is not complete..."
Li Jiayu's voice came over, and Lin Luanqiu and Jiang Yueying turned around to look at him at the same time, asking:
"Black lightning means the spatial rift is incomplete? How do you know that? Are you also an expert on spatial rifts?"
"Never mind that, something's about to come out." Honda reminded them helplessly, watching the two slowly probing.
"Yes, yes," Lin Luanqiu said with an expression that seemed to indicate he was completely wrong, making it difficult to blame him.
Just as the group was about to chat for a while, the spatial rift expanded and grew larger.
A thick stench of decay began to spread, and a colossal mammoth emerged from the spatial rift. Accompanying it were tens of thousands of corpses. Seeing their target appear, Lin Luanqiu, true to his principles, struck first. Honda also joined the attack; both were inheritors of sword immortality. However, Honda was far superior. After Li Jiayu cast several auras around him, Honda's Myriad Swords Technique began to take effect, unleashing a storm of flying swords that left the attacking Lin Luanqiu completely bewildered.
The colossal mammoth was surrounded and attacked by the group, finally having its massive head severed by Honda's sword. The several-ton head slammed onto the ground, causing the ground to tremble several times. Amidst the stares of those who thought he was an alien, Honda retrieved the Heavenly Sword. He shook off the blood and then looked back at the spatial rift. Without even activating his Heavenly Eye, Honda knew that something else was coming from inside.
Then a bunch of things that were very familiar to Li Jiayu appeared before him. Regarding these male vines, Li Jiayu felt both happy and somewhat distressed. Distressed because he was being increasingly feminized by the female vines. Happy because the appearance of the male vines gave him a glimmer of hope against being feminized.
Excited and filled with righteous indignation, he resolved to annihilate these 'harmful' demons. He picked up Hyōrinmaru and began to hack at them, seeking the crystallized essence of the male vine.
In an instant, countless male and female vines perished, which saddened one person. That person was Jelly, who felt compelled to rely on her insects. She needed to recruit more subordinates.
As the fight escalated, the parents of the unruly children got angry.
At this moment, the Queen of the Ivy Vine had a seemingly expressionless face, but her beautiful eyes, which were suppressing her anger, were particularly piercing, like two sharp swords drawn from their sheaths and soaring into the sky, fiercely piercing everyone's hearts!
"squeak--"
The Queen of the Ivy raised her head high and let out a shrill screech, instantly spreading out circles of powerful sound waves visible to the naked eye, stirring up a terrifying sonic storm that chilled everyone present to the bone.
Honda used the Ice Heart Technique to become completely immune to this mental attack, while the others around him fared much worse.
The queen glanced at Honda with surprise, then summoned thousands of vines to lash out at everyone.
The "Sword God" Tianya transformed into a giant sword and sliced through all the vines in one go.
"...It...is actually...the...early stage of the fourth rank," the Queen stammered. Don't think she was scared. She was just a little awkward because they hadn't spoken much before.
"Oh no, she's about to go berserk. You all go first!" Honda activated his Heavenly Eye and looked at the Queen, whose energy was surging rapidly. The few burdens around him prevented Honda from using his full strength.
"You need to be careful of Honda-neechan," Li Jiayu said, knowing Honda's strength and feeling somewhat disheartened by her own. Then she led a few people to hide further away.
"Come on!" Honda bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto Tianya. Instantly, the sword shone brightly!
"The...Empress's...blood..." Queen Nuwateng's beautiful eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief and horror!
The female vine clan once enjoyed a period of relative glory and held a significant position in the Abyss Realm. It is said that long ago, the female vine clan numbered as many as 100,000, and there was a royal family within the clan. The royal family was quite rare, but their strength was considerable. Each female vine queen possessed legendary and powerful abilities, intimidating many creatures in the Abyss Realm.
But later, when things stopped, the royal bloodline of the Nuwateng clan disappeared into the long river of time. From then on, the Nuwateng clan was torn apart and scattered. The queens never spoke to each other again, let alone united.
But now...
Now, this Queen of the Vine is actually inside a human body, and she can keenly sense the aura of the Queen of the Vine. This is simply unbelievable!
"Follow...follow...me...home, Your Majesty," the Queen said, her gaze burning with passion as if she could see the glory of the Nymphaloid Clan.
"Go back to your hometown! Slay him!" Honda commanded Tenya to swiftly strike at the queen, but it was actually blocked by a whip in her hand.
"This is... the Queen's Whip!" Violently cutting it off would be unfair to Li Jiayu, so let's race it out!
In an instant, countless Heavenly Swords appeared in the sky, their sharp tips sending chills down the Queen's spine. It seemed she had underestimated the Queen's power.
Countless sword lights flashed towards the queen, but Honda held back some of his strength, not intending to kill her completely.
"Um"
Suddenly, Honda felt his blood boiling. It seemed the royal bloodline was being activated; indeed, the presence of royalty was necessary to activate it. This unusual phenomenon was nothing to Honda.
"Hoo...Hoo...Queen...I will return." Under Honda's deliberate control, the Queen's whip flew away. Her body was covered with wounds of all sizes; it seemed she had temporarily decided to give up. She gave Honda a deep look, then turned and left. As she left, the spatial rift disappeared.
Honda picked up the queen's whip from the ground, intending to give it to Li Jiayu. In the original story, this item helped Li Jiayu a lot, including taking Xiao Wanqing's chrysanthemum.
"It's over." The group breathed a deep sigh of relief upon seeing Honda's return, but Honda ignored them. He went to Li Jiayu, who had fainted from the boiling of her blood, and dripped her blood onto the Queen's Whip. After the recognition was complete, the Queen's Whip transformed into a bracelet and wrapped around Li Jiayu's wrist.
"Let's go! Get him treated quickly." After saying that, Honda led Li Jiayu and hurried towards the city without saying anything.
They all took flight, following Honda.
After handing Li Jiayu over to Xiao Wanqing, Honda returned to his room. He instructed his servants that he was going into seclusion and then closed the door. He checked his weapon; the fusion was almost complete. The Three-Pointed Dragonfly Cutter had kept Honda waiting for quite some time.
