Chapter 688: Mutated Bloodline

Lu Yunqing and Wang Jianqiang hid their figures, waiting silently.

Time flowed by slowly.

In the blink of an eye.

More than half a day passed.

This world was strangely quiet.

That originally very faint sound of trickling water seemed extremely loud in this silent world.

Suddenly.

A barely perceptible sound of wind emerged.

The next moment.

A palm-sized butterfly flew over.

This was a very beautiful colorful butterfly, its body surface shimmering with a faint radiance.

As its wings flapped, specks of colorful light scattered and fell.

It was truly beautiful.

After the butterfly appeared, it paused in mid-air.

Staring at the Purple Luo Flower below, a flash of human-like joy crossed its eyes.

It had been trapped here by a human woman for decades.

The Spirit Qi in this place was extremely thin, causing its cultivation to stagnate.

It did not expect to discover a Purple Luo Flower today.

If it could obtain this Purple Luo Flower, its cultivation, which had been stagnant for decades, would surely be able to advance again.

There was even a great possibility of directly forming a Nascent Soul!

If it could break through, it would be able to escape this place and regain its freedom.

Thinking of this, its desire for the Purple Luo Flower instantly became intense.

However.

It did not lose its reason because of this.

It did not rush down immediately.

Instead, it carefully observed the surroundings.

A moment later.

It seemed to have finally made a decision and rushed straight toward the Purple Luo Flower.

Its speed was extremely fast.

As that pair of colorful wings flapped, its body was instantly enveloped in a layer of colorful light.

With a flash of light, it instantly crossed a distance of nearly a hundred zhang.

It appeared beside the Purple Luo Flower as if by Instant Movement.

"It has fallen for the trap!"

Lu Yunqing, who had been watching all of this from the shadows, reacted immediately.

She pointed her finger.

The Array that had been set up in advance was immediately activated.

A layer of light screen appeared, enveloping the Huanxin butterfly within it.

The sudden change caused the Huanxin butterfly's movements to stall.

It looked at the Array light screen vigilantly, then looked at Wang Jianqiang and Lu Yunqing, who had already revealed their figures.

With its intelligence.

It recognized Lu Yunqing instantly.

This woman was that hateful human who had trapped it in this mountain back then.

The vigilance in its eyes instantly became a few degrees more intense.

"Wang Daniu, you wait here."

Lu Yunqing instructed Wang Jianqiang, then soared into the air and appeared beside the Array light screen.

She pointed her finger at the light screen.

The Array was immediately activated.

The power of the Array surged and gathered rapidly, finally turning into streaks of attacks that struck toward the Huanxin butterfly.

A flash of colorful light appeared on the Huanxin butterfly, and its body size instantly increased.

It swallowed the Purple Luo Flower in one gulp.

Afterward, its body size returned to palm-sized, and the colorful light on its body erupted, its speed pushed to the limit as it continuously dodged.

One could only see a streak of colorful light continuously flashing within the Array, its speed astonishing and difficult for the naked eye to see clearly.

The attacks condensed by the power of the Array, which were sufficient to threaten an ordinary Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator, were actually unable to hit it!

"This Huanxin butterfly's short-range speed burst is actually faster than an ordinary Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator!"

Wang Jianqiang looked at that colorful stream of light, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes.

Seeing that the streaks of attacks gathered by the power of the Array were avoided by the Huanxin butterfly and could not harm it in the slightest.

Lu Yunqing frowned.

She pointed her finger at the Array again.

The power of the Array no longer condensed.

Instead, it turned directly into a vast ocean, crushing toward the Huanxin butterfly.

Facing this kind of area-of-effect attack, the Huanxin Butterfly could no longer dodge.

It was directly submerged by the surging power of the Array.

A moment later.

The raging power within the light screen vanished, and the Huanxin Butterfly reappeared.

It looked as if it had not suffered the slightest injury.

But if one observed carefully, one could discover that its aura had developed a trace of fluctuation.

"Did it only suffer some light injuries?"

Lu Yunqing frowned.

Directly erupting the power of the Array like that just now was the crudest way to use the power of the Array.

Not only was the consumption high, but the power was also far inferior to the condensed attacks formed previously.

But facing the speed of the Huanxin Butterfly, she had no choice but to do this.

It was just that.

With the power of this Array, even with such crude manipulation of the Array's power to crush it.

The Huanxin Butterfly should not have been able to resist so easily.

Could it be...

That because it devoured the Purple Luo Flower, its strength has increased?

Thinking of this possibility, Lu Yunqing felt a shock in her heart.

No way, right?

Although the Purple Luo Flower is one of the best Medicinal Herbs to help a Golden Core Stage Huanxin Butterfly cultivate, it still requires time to refine, right?

How could it possibly take effect so quickly?

Boom~

Just at this moment.

A colorful light suddenly landed on the Array's light screen, and the light screen shook.

Lu Yunqing immediately came back to her senses.

She hurriedly continued to urge the power of the Array, transforming it into a tide of power that surged toward the Huanxin Butterfly.

The Huanxin Butterfly was once again submerged by the power of the Array.

A moment later.

When the power of the Array vanished.

Lu Yunqing looked carefully at the Huanxin Butterfly, and her heart could not help but sink.

The last time it was hit by the power of the Array, the Huanxin Butterfly still suffered some light injuries.

This time, it was actually only blown away a certain distance, without suffering the slightest damage!

It is getting stronger!

It really can quickly refine the Purple Luo Flower!

Under normal circumstances, after a Huanxin Butterfly swallows a Purple Luo Flower, it needs nearly a year to fully refine it.

If it wants a significant increase in strength, it must at least take a month to convert the medicinal power.

Otherwise, why would she have directly used the Purple Luo Flower to create a trap?

But she did not expect that this Huanxin Butterfly would be so special.

It had only swallowed the Purple Luo Flower for a dozen breaths of time, yet it had already exceeded the refinement progress of an ordinary Huanxin Butterfly in a month!

Its speed of refining Spirit Medicine is simply terrifying!

Thinking of this, she could not help but feel a bit bitter in her heart.

The stronger this Huanxin Butterfly is, the happier she should have been.

But now, she could not be happy at all.

The strength of this Huanxin Butterfly seems to have already exceeded the limit of what she can capture.

The Array she set up, although able to trap this Huanxin Butterfly, can no longer do anything to it.

After another period of time, once this Huanxin Butterfly fully refines the medicinal power of the Purple Luo Flower.

Its strength will inevitably be even greater; even if it breaks through to the Nascent Soul Stage in one breath, I fear it would not be strange.

If the opponent truly breaks through to the Nascent Soul Stage.

This Array will definitely no longer be able to control it!

By then, what she should consider is not whether she can catch the opponent.

But how to escape with her life in front of the opponent.

Thinking of this.

Lu Yunqing sighed.

Having wasted fifty years of time, in the end, she still failed.

Although she was unwilling, she knew very well which was more important: wasted time or her life.

Therefore.

She quickly made a decision.

Retreat~

Just as the intention to retreat arose in her heart.

The colorful light on the Huanxin Butterfly suddenly became intense.

Lu Yunqing's vision blurred, and her consciousness instantly became dim.

"Oh no!"

Her heart gave a start.

She had once fought a Huanxin Butterfly and knew its moves very well.

This scene was clearly the Huanxin Butterfly casting an illusion.

She bit the tip of her tongue.

Attempting to use the stimulation of pain to make herself more clear-headed.

But she immediately discovered that it had little effect.

She hurriedly mobilized her Soul Power to resist, but she still could not dispel that feeling of drowsiness.

Gradually.

Her eyelids grew heavier and heavier.

Finally.

Her eyes closed, and she fell toward the ground.
