Chapter 297 Battle for the Spirit Flower
Looking at the Ghost Eye Flower radiating a strange light before her, Lu Lingxi Yao was filled with excitement. She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and slowly reached out her hand, preparing to pluck this precious spiritual flower.
However, just as her fingertips were about to touch the Ghost Eye Flower, a sudden gale arose at the once peaceful boundary between life and death, with sand and stones flying everywhere.
In the gray-black death zone, the ground trembled violently, and huge cracks spread out, as if some terrifying being was about to burst forth from the earth.
The life-giving area that had been radiating a soft glow suddenly burst into a dazzling green light, spinning wildly like a giant energy vortex.
"What's going on?!" the white tiger exclaimed, instinctively taking a few steps back and warily watching the changes around it.
Nine-Tailed Fox's expression turned solemn as he said in a deep voice, "It seems that the Ghost Eye Flower is not so easy to obtain; there must be a guardian among them!"
Before the words were even finished, the wandering spirits around them seemed to be summoned by some force, becoming extremely agitated. They let out deafening howls, and then, like a tidal wave, they surged madly towards Lu Lingxi and the others.
"Not good!" the white tiger exclaimed, swinging his massive tiger claws to shatter the first few undead that were charging forward.
However, the number of the dead was simply too great, and they were fearless of death. Even if they were shattered, they would quickly reform and continue to attack them.
Meanwhile, in the gray-black death zone, the cracks in the ground grew larger and deeper, and thick black energy surged out from the cracks, condensing into enormous evil spirits in the air. These evil spirits were more powerful and terrifying than those encountered before.
Lu Lingxi's expression changed. She could sense the aura of these evil spirits, each of which possessed strength no less than that of a human Venerable Spirit Realm expert.
Before Lu Lingxi could react, Youming's figure blurred, transforming into a black lightning bolt as he charged into the horde of evil spirits. He waved his hands, and black flames, like two wildly dancing fire dragons, raged and burned among the evil spirits.
However, these evil spirits were too powerful and too numerous, and even the astonishing power of the Netherworld Flames could not eliminate them all in a short time.
With a wave of its hand, the Nine-Tailed Fox unleashed a nine-colored light that intertwined, forming a barrier around Lu Lingxi and the White Tiger that could move with them.
The white tiger roared, its body radiating golden light, transforming into a golden streak of light that charged into the horde of evil spirits, fighting alongside the Netherworld.
Holding the Flying Snow Sword, Lu Lingxi Yao moved with lightning speed, weaving through the surrounding ghosts and evil spirits, slaying them one by one.
Just then, at the center of the boundary between life and death, the Ghost Eye Flower suddenly burst forth with dazzling light. Under the illumination of this light, the originally raging dead souls and evil spirits stopped their attacks and knelt down in the direction of the Ghost Eye Flower, as if they were worshipping their king.
Immediately afterwards, the spiritual energy around the Ghost Eye Flower surged wildly, forming a huge vortex of spiritual energy. This vortex grew larger and faster, and finally, a figure slowly emerged from the vortex.
This figure was not a physical entity, but a phantom formed from pure spiritual energy. It had a human form, but its body was surrounded by green vines. It wore a headdress made of flower petals, and its skin was a light green, exuding a rich natural aura.
"This is... the flower spirit of the Ghost Eye Flower!" Nine-Tailed Fox exclaimed.
Flower spirits are spiritual entities born from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. They possess powerful natural forces and a protective instinct, and are the guardians of spiritual beings. The flower spirit of the Ghost Eye Flower obviously appeared to protect the Ghost Eye Flower.
As soon as Hua Ling appeared, she released a powerful pressure that enveloped the entire area. This pressure was not directed at Lu Lingxi and the others, but at the dead souls and evil spirits.
Under the pressure of the Flower Spirit, the already violent souls and evil spirits became even more frenzied and irritable. They let out mournful howls and rushed towards Lu Lingxi and the others without regard for anything, as if they wanted to tear them to pieces.
"Damn it! This flower spirit has actually controlled the souls of the dead and evil spirits!" Youming cursed angrily.
"What do we do now?" Baihu asked anxiously.
Lu Lingxi's eyes were resolute as she said in a deep voice, "There is no way out! Only by defeating Hua Ling can we obtain the Ghost Eye Flower!"
She took a deep breath and circulated her spiritual energy to its maximum. The Flying Snow Sword emitted a crisp sword sound, and its ten-colored light became even more dazzling.
"Netherworld, Nine-Tailed Fox, White Tiger, let's attack together!" Lu Lingxi shouted, her figure blurred, and she transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards Hua Ling.
Netherworld, Nine-Tailed Fox, and White Tiger followed closely behind, each unleashing their strongest attacks towards Flower Spirit.
Although Hua Ling was just a phantom, her strength was exceptionally powerful. With a gentle wave of her hand, countless green vines grew from the ground and wrapped around Lu Lingxi and the others.
Youming snorted coldly and waved his hands, unleashing a burst of black flames that burned the vines to ashes. However, as soon as one batch of vines was burned, another batch grew back, continuing to entwine them.
With a wave of its left hand, the Nine-Tailed Fox gathered nine-colored light into a huge pillar of light, which blasted towards the Flower Spirit. However, the Flower Spirit did not dodge or evade, allowing the pillar of light to strike its body. After hitting the Flower Spirit, the pillar of light disappeared without a trace, as if it had been thrown into the sea.
"What's going on?!" Nine-Tails exclaimed in surprise.
With a roar, the white tiger transformed into a golden lightning bolt and charged towards Hua Ling. It swung its massive tiger claws, slamming them down on Hua Ling. Hua Ling simply waved her hand, and a green light barrier appeared in front of her, blocking the white tiger's attack.
With a loud "bang," the white tiger was forced back several steps, while Hua Ling remained completely still.
Lu Lingxi's eyes narrowed. This flower spirit was stronger than the sea monsters they had imagined. If they couldn't find the flower spirit's weakness, they would have no way to defeat it.
She took a deep breath, released her divine sense to its fullest extent, and carefully observed Hua Ling's every movement and every detail.
She discovered that although the flower spirit was powerful, its power was not inexhaustible. Every time it launched an attack or defended against an attack, its spirit body would become more transparent than before.
"We can defeat it as long as we keep depleting its power!" Lu Lingxi Yao shouted.
Upon hearing this, Youming, Jiuwei, and Baihu perked up and launched another attack on Hualing. This time, they adopted hit-and-run tactics, constantly depleting Hualing's power.
Although the Flower Spirit was powerful, its power was gradually depleted under the combined attack of the four, and its spirit body became increasingly transparent.
"Now!" A glint flashed in Lu Lingxi's eyes. She seized the moment when Hua Ling's power weakened, and in a flash, she appeared behind Hua Ling.
The Flying Snow Sword in her hand burst forth with dazzling light, stabbing fiercely towards Hua Ling's back.
With a soft "plop," the Flying Snow Sword pierced through Hua Ling's spirit body. Hua Ling let out a shrill scream as her body rapidly disintegrated, turning into specks of light that vanished into the air.
At the same time, the raging undead and evil spirits, as if out of control, stopped attacking and returned to their previous state.
As Lu Lingxi Yao approached the Ghost Eye Flower, she could sense that a strange power still lingered around it. This power was different from the Flower Spirit's oppressive aura, but it was even more unpredictable and mysterious.
"Master, be careful, this Ghost Eye Flower is no ordinary thing." Nine-Tailed Fox's voice rang in Lu Lingxi Yao's mind, carrying a hint of solemnity.
Lu Lingxi nodded, raising her divine sense to its limit, and carefully probing the situation around the Ghost Eye Flower.
Suddenly, Lu Lingxi felt a sharp pain in her mind, as if an invisible force was trying to invade her consciousness.
"Mental attack!" Lu Lingxi was shocked. She immediately circulated her spiritual power to form a defensive wall around her sea of consciousness to resist that invisible force.
However, the mental attack was exceptionally tenacious, constantly assaulting Lu Lingxi's mental defenses. She gritted her teeth, enduring the intense pain emanating from her mind. She knew that this was a test from the Ghost Eye Flower; if she could not withstand this mental attack, she would not be able to obtain the Ghost Eye Flower.
"Master, calm your mind and don't let it affect you!" Youming's voice came, tinged with anxiety.
Lu Lingxi nodded. She closed her eyes and focused all her attention on the defense of her sea of consciousness. She continuously circulated her spiritual power to strengthen the defense and resist the mental attack.
Time passed second by second, and Lu Lingxi's face grew paler and paler. Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her body trembled slightly.
"Master, if it really doesn't work, just give up. This Ghost Eye Flower is too evil!" The white tiger's voice was full of worry.
Lu Lingxi did not answer. She kept her eyes tightly closed, resisting the mental attack with all her might. She knew that she could not give up, otherwise all her efforts would be in vain.
Just when Lu Lingxi was about to give up, she suddenly felt that the mental attack seemed to have weakened a bit.
Lu Lingxi was overjoyed. She immediately seized the opportunity and used all her spiritual power to completely shatter the mental attack.
"call……"
Lu Lingxi Yao let out a long sigh of relief. She slowly opened her eyes, feeling dizzy and weak.
She looked at the Ghost Eye Flower in front of her. At this moment, the distorted space around the Ghost Eye Flower had disappeared, and that strange power had also vanished.
She reached out again, and this time, without any hindrance, she easily picked the Ghost Eye Flower. The Ghost Eye Flower felt cool and smooth to the touch, and emitted a refreshing fragrance that made her feel invigorated. She felt refreshed and her previous fatigue vanished.
Lu Lingxi could sense the immense spiritual power contained within the Ghost Eye Flower. Just by getting close, she felt the spiritual power within her body become more active.
“This is the Ghost Eye Flower…” Lu Lingxi murmured to herself, her eyes filled with amazement.
