217: Azure Vine

"We're here!" Tang Ping's eyes flashed with joy.

It was Chairman Wang and Sister Xiao Cao. The massive green vine had already descended from the light gate, and its powerful force even swept Sheng Tianqi, who was protected by the jade mountain, away with it.

Tang Ping was secretly shocked. The last time he saw Sister Xiao Cao's green vine in the future, he felt it was extraordinary. Now, observing it, it could actually sweep Sheng Tianqi away. Although the latter was not injured, it still showed that Sister Xiao Cao's green vine was far from simple.

Moreover, he had previously provided many dungeons in Jiangcheng City and its surrounding areas. This time, Sister Xiao Cao must be even stronger, and that green vine had likely undergone some transformation, becoming even more extraordinary.

Sheng Tianqi was clearly somewhat bewildered and startled by the sudden attack. After stabilizing himself, an airplane had already emerged from the light gate—it was a Shelter in the form of an airplane.

The airplane hovered in mid-air, and more than twenty people disembarked one after another.

Sheng Tianqi clearly noticed the hostile gazes of the other party. He clenched his fists, and his knuckles made a crisp cracking sound.

The current situation had already made him somewhat lose control of his emotions. He had spent a huge price to acquire the light gate stone to descend, but upon arrival, before he could even obtain any strange treasures, a large number of experience stones were burned due to the battle.

He had originally thought that with his strength, he could easily obtain at least a dozen strange treasures, but now, if the people in front of him kept pestering him, he would have no chance of obtaining any strange treasures.

But how could he be willing to leave just like that?

Tang Ping also noticed who Chairman Wang had brought this time. At the very front, and the strongest, were Chairman Wang, Miao Qingshi, and Zhou Zheng. Many others followed, but besides Lu Huihui, he wasn't very familiar with the rest.

However, there were two other people standing with Chairman Wang who surprised him: Su Lele and Yu Jiaqi, the two who usually followed Tao Yumian.

Their arrival made Tang Ping even happier. At this moment, he held an overwhelming advantage against Shengtian Group.

Immediately upon their arrival, Chairman Wang, Miao Qingshi, Zhou Zheng, Su Lele, and Yu Jiaqi flashed and appeared beside The Thin, Pale Youth.

Tang Ping had communicated with everyone in advance; he needed to deal with that youth first.

Tang Ping: "Deal with that youth first. He's a space-type. Be careful."

It's better to break one finger than injure ten.

A message popped up on the panel.

Chairman Wang: "No problem."

Miao Qingshi: "Leave it to me."

Zhou Zheng: "Okay."

Yu Jiaqi: "Received."

At the same time, Zhang Xile and Nie Yu immediately restrained Ice Maiden and Wind Man.

The Thin, Pale Youth was left isolated and helpless.

Still in a daze, he suddenly felt a chill in his back. When he looked down, he found that his chest had been pierced by a huge vine. Some tendrils on the vine extended and retracted, piercing into his body. The Thin, Pale Youth watched with his own eyes as he turned into a skeleton.

"I..." Did he just die like this? His consciousness dissipated, and in his final moments, he was still bewildered and confused, thinking this shouldn't be his fate.

However, this was already his fate, and it could no longer be changed.

The death of The Thin, Pale Youth made Sheng Tianqi completely make up his mind; he could no longer stay here.

"I'll remember you." Sheng Tianqi's eyes were devoid of emotion, yet their depth was terrifying.

"What, trying to save others?" How could Tang Ping let go of this opportunity to weaken the opponent?

Sheng Tianqi remained silent. The jade mountain suddenly emitted a powerful spiritual light, abruptly pushing Tang Ping away.

How could Tang Ping let the other party leave with the others? A divine ring behind him was thrown out!

Bang! A crisp impact sound rang out, smashing Sheng Tianqi into the lake.

The terrifying consumption made Tang Ping immediately grab a handful of experience stones, quickly replenishing his Exotic Energy.

With his feet on the green lotus, a divine ring suspended behind him, and the illusion of fiery red lotuses flickering in his eyes, Tang Ping unleashed all his power. Even if he couldn't kill Sheng Tianqi, he would certainly weaken the opponent's power to the extreme here. Only then would the Star Council face much less resistance when expanding south in the future.

Sheng Tianqi leaped out of the water, his eyes almost spewing with rage. At this moment, he hadn't yet thought of distant matters like future northern expansion. In his view, why did the person in front of him harbor such great hostility towards him for no reason, even willing to give up the struggle for strange treasures?

Pfft! Ice Maiden's aura rapidly weakened. The vine in her chest was draining her flesh and blood, even her spirit body, and even her scattered mental energy was captured by the green vine.

What terrified her even more was that her life-saving talisman had no effect?

Also, how did this green vine appear in her ice domain? How could she not have noticed anything?

She turned her head and saw the vine appearing a foot behind her, as if it had emerged from space.

The aura of that spatial power felt somewhat familiar to her.

"How... is this possible..."

Ice Maiden died, and some ice-blue mysterious runes appeared on the massive green vine.

At this point, Wind Man could no longer maintain his composure. He felt it; all those gazes had fallen upon him.

Run, that was his only thought.

A silver card in his hand flashed, and his figure immediately vanished. Wind Man didn't even wait for Sheng Tianqi's light gate stone; he chose to escape on his own.

His decision was correct, because Sheng Tianqi simply didn't have the energy to come to his aid.

However, the green vine behind Miao Qingshi stabbed into space. The tip of the green vine appeared a hundred meters away, with traces of crimson blood flowing on it.

This sent a chilling dread into the hearts of the other onlookers. Even a spatial teleportation item was intercepted. What kind of monster was this?

Of course, before coming, Miao Qingshi's green vine couldn't perform spatial interception, but who made the green vine devour The Thin, Pale Youth immediately?

Light green runes appeared on the green vine.

The nourishment from three S-Rank Talent Users made this green vine appear even more mysterious and unfathomable.

Beside Chairman Wang, four powers of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water appeared. This wasn't because she had four Talents, but because her Talent, called Imprint, allowed her to imprint others' Talents, and she could imprint up to four at the same time. Unfortunately, her Talent was only A-rank, so the imprinted Talents' ranks were also at most A-rank. But even though it wasn't four Talents, Chairman Wang's Talent was even more terrifying than having four Talents.

Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water circulated. This Chairman Wang of the Star Council exhaled with a strange breathing rhythm. The four attributes began to undergo some miraculous changes, and then this strike landed on Old Man Holding the Bell.

Dong!

The bell instantly separated from the old man, struck away from above his head. Old Man Holding the Bell looked at Chairman Wang in terror, "You!"

Gulp! Croak!

The Fat Woman opened her mouth and swallowed Old Man Holding the Bell whole.

The air fell silent.

But it wasn't truly silent, because helicopters were still exploding one after another, and the people inside were utterly annihilated.

Sheng Tianqi had the jade mountain suspended above his head. He closed his eyes tightly, took a few deep breaths, then opened them, his voice hoarse: "We will meet again."
