The five demon cultivators sprayed a deluge of venom across the sky, pouring down like torrential rain.
Though the three flower demons were scared to death, they did not retreat a single step.
Because their master stood behind them.
'A person must know what they are fighting for.'
Piao’s voice echoed in their ears, and the pills their master had bestowed upon them burned in their bellies.
"For the Master!"
They had originally been the most inconspicuous wild flowers in the mountains, swaying only with the wind and rain. Even after they gained intelligence, they only learned how to hide themselves better and how to work harder to absorb a little bit of sunlight.
Fighting?
That was too distant and too terrifying for them.
Facing the strong, they usually crouched down and held their heads.
That was a habit formed during the hundreds of years they spent as minor demons. Facing the strong, they could only curl up and pray the other party wouldn't see them.
They didn't know any heaven-destroying supernatural powers, nor did they understand any magical incantations. All they knew was... planting flowers and stimulating the growth of vegetation.
Since all they knew was planting flowers, then they would plant flowers!
In this malicious place of toxic miasma, they would plant the most brilliant flowers for their master to see!
The three flower demons grit their teeth and reached out their hands.
Driven by instinct, they harnessed the power that had just surged within their bodies.
It was the most fundamental life force of vegetation, and also the most overbearing form of plunder.
A touch of eerie blood-red suddenly bloomed within the gaps of the black bone bricks.
Countless tender red buds burst frantically from the ground.
The speed of their growth was staggering. In the blink of an eye, they sprouted branches, unfurled leaves, and formed buds.
One blood-red flower after another blossomed, covering the entire Black Bone Hall.
These were the guiding flowers blooming on the road to the Underworld, a brilliant curse flourishing on the other side of death.
"What is this?!"
The poisonous mushroom demon cultivator charging at the front discovered with horror that the moment the venom he sprayed touched the sea of flowers, it was actually absorbed!
And those red flowers, as if they had tasted delicious nutrients, bloomed even more brilliantly and frantically.
Flowers bloom on the other side, leaves fall in the Underworld.
When the living enter the sea of flowers, it is the time of their burial.
"Ah! My legs! My roots!"
Screams rang out one after another.
The five originally aggressive plant demon cultivators were now like trapped beasts in a quagmire.
They discovered to their horror that the seemingly beautiful flowers were actually driving their rootlets directly into their bodies!
Gurgle... Gurgle...
Greedy swallowing sounds echoed within the sea of flowers.
The entire field was feeding.
The sea of flowers frantically plundered the vegetation essence within these five demon cultivators, converting it into nourishment for its own blooming.
"Help... Save me..."
The poison vine demon cultivator desperately tried to tear away the flower stalks on his body, but the more he struggled, the tighter those red flowers coiled.
His body shriveled at a rate visible to the naked eye, and the emerald-green vines slowly turned withered and yellow.
Flowers of the other side, guiding souls to the beyond.
Within the entire Black Bone Hall, everything in sight was a piercing red.
The toxic demon cultivators on the opposite side began to wither the moment they stepped into the sea of flowers.
In less than ten breaths.
The screams gradually subsided.
The five fifth-stage demon cultivators had fallen completely silent.
They turned into withered, decayed wood scattered within the floral sea, becoming the best fertilizer for this enchanting field of flowers.
The demons present, including Thousand-Tangle Fairy, were all stunned.
What... What kind of demonic technique was this?
What kind of 'flower planting' was this?
This was what three seemingly harmless little maidens had done?
"We... we won?"
One flower demon looked at the eerily red sea of flowers before her and looked at her hands in disbelief.
She only felt that she had planted some flowers and wanted them to bloom a bit redder. How did this group of ferocious guys turn into ash?
"We... we've become stronger!"
"This is great! We didn't lose face for the Master!"
The three flower demons were both surprised and delighted. They never imagined that their instinctive act of planting flowers could be so powerful!
"Bastards!"
Seeing her carefully cultivated confidants wiped out in an instant, Thousand-Tangle Fairy was so angry her features twisted.
Those were fifth-stage enforcers she had spent over a hundred years feeding with the flesh and blood of countless human-livestock!
Just like that, they were gone?
Turned into fertilizer by three little flower-planting girls?
"You little wretches, I'll tear you apart!"
Thousand-Tangle Fairy no longer cared for her dignity as a demon king. Countless vines with poisonous barbs rose into the sky behind her.
She was about to strike personally, intending to crush those three flower demons along with that damned sea of flowers.
However, just as she moved.
Clang—
A giant hand condensed from death qi blocked her path.
Black robes fluttered, and white bones gleamed.
Chen Zhou looked at the exasperated Thousand-Tangle Fairy and smiled nonchalantly, "Thousand-Tangle Fairy, why be so angry?"
"You see, blades have no eyes and spells have no mercy. Isn't it normal for a few demons to die by accident?"
"After all, it's just a spar. There will always be casualties, right?"
"Just as you said earlier, it's all just for fun."
Thousand-Tangle Fairy’s movements froze.
Her vines lashed against the death qi but could not advance an inch, and they were rapidly assimilated into white bone.
Her face flushed between green and white, her chest heaving violently from both anger and fear.
The clash just now made her clearly realize that the skeleton in front of her was unfathomable.
Though she was furious, she valued her life more.
If she really dared to act, the next one to become flower fertilizer would likely be herself.
She didn't dare to speak up again.
After all, this had been her plan from the start—to use the pretense of a spar to let her subordinates slaughter Chen Zhou’s flower demons.
Now that her skills were inferior and her group had been wiped out, she had to swallow this grievance raw.
Thousand-Tangle Fairy’s heart was bleeding. Those were all her painstakingly cultivated capable subordinates, and they were gone just like that.
She stared at Chen Zhou with venomous eyes, as if she wanted to bite a piece of meat off him.
"Good... Very good!"
Thousand-Tangle Fairy grit her teeth, squeezing the words out from between them.
"The Bone Temple Master truly trains his people well. Even a few maidens are so ruthless."
"I will remember this grand gift!"
Chen Zhou didn't care at all. He even raised the bone cup in front of him and toasted her from a distance.
"You're too kind."
"If Thousand-Tangle Fairy likes it, I have plenty more of these flowers. I can help you plant them anytime."
When no one was looking, Chen Zhou quietly extinguished a divine seal in his hand.
That was a divine seal condensed from the power of the 【Faith Conferment】 authority.
The battle just now seemed like the flower demons had a sudden awakening, but in reality, it was a victory for the power of wealth.
Chen Zhou was currently loaded.
After the battle at Lantao City, combined with Ku Chan’s non-stop daily promotion of the Bone God’s manifestations, the daily income of Evil God Points had stabilized at around 150,000.
He had delayed for half a month before coming to the Southern Region not only to wait for the cooldown of 【Sacrifice】 but also to save up money.
Now, with over a million Evil God Points in hand, his back was stiff with confidence, allowing him to be as reckless as he pleased.
