thicket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trying his best to cut down the vines entangling Li Zhenqian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his Protective True Essence had already been wrapped tightly by more hawthorn vines, almost on the verge of being crushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If this continues, I’m afraid Wan Xun and Li Zhenqian will end up the same way...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Facing this Hawthorn Demon with five thousand years of cultivation... there’s not much difference between mid-Foundation Establishment and Perfection...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen frowned tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An ordinary Hawthorn Demon is just a small shrub, hardly a threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this vast area of Hawthorn Demons probably all stems from a single shrub...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To take down this Hawthorn Demon, it is necessary to eradicate it and destroy its roots...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But by that time, Li Zhenqian might have already become nourishment for the Hawthorn Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this in mind, Lin Chen no longer held back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out the Demon-slaying Blade and stepped forward dozens of yards, standing shoulder to shoulder with Wan Xun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Taoist Friend Wan, don’t panic... let me handle this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Lin Chen grabbed Wan Xun and threw him dozens of yards away, out of the Hawthorn Demon’s range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Taoist Friend Xu!\" Wan Xun steadied himself, watching Lin Chen being engulfed by the hawthorn vines, feeling a jolt of panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, I’ve got this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Protective True Essence suddenly burst forth, pushing the surrounding hawthorn vines aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued forward with the Demon-slaying Blade in hand, the Protective True Essence adhering to the blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The numerous hawthorn vines had almost mummified Li Zhenqian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Lin Chen remained unfazed, raising and dropping his blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hawthorn vines, five thousand years old, impervious to metal and fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary weapons were useless, even Top Grade Magical Artifacts struggled to cut through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But under the Demon-slaying Blade, they were sliced like tofu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great blade!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen felt more adept with each use, filled with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, aided by Candle Dragon’s power, his stamina rapidly declined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his physical abilities nearly doubled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen rushed to Li Zhenqian’s side, and the blade began to spin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish, swish, swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flashing blade cleaved through the dense hawthorn vines, scattering them everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unconscious Li Zhenqian was then exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing more vines surging to envelop Li Zhenqian again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen sneered, \"Mere Demon Plant, trying to defy the heavens?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed Li Zhenqian, tossed him dozens of yards away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Taoist Friend Wan, catch him!\" Lin Chen shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Xun hurriedly stepped forward, catching Li Zhenqian, and gently laid him down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He placed a hand under Li Zhenqian’s nose, relieved to find him still breathing, albeit deeply poisoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking up towards the Hawthorn Demon thicket where Lin Chen was, Wan Xun widened his eyes, exclaiming, \"Brother Xu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mass of hawthorn vines surged like waves, rising yards high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding yards seemed to transform into a brown-green vine ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the tide, Lin Chen was swiftly swallowed, his figure lost to view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Xun, anxious, rushed forward to assist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Hawthorn Demon group withdrew rapidly into the desert soil like tentacles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In mere breaths, the hawthorn ocean vanished into the desert floor, leaving only barren sand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along with the Hawthorn Demons, Lin Chen too disappeared...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Xu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Xun gazed at the emptiness before him, in utter disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Xu sacrificed himself to save Junior Brother Li... yet we were but fleeting acquaintances...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Xun shouted a few more times, but without Lin Chen’s response, becoming more disheartened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even one as strong as Brother Xu, against such a Great Demon... survival seems unlikely...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Xun was filled with despair, yet fearing the Hawthorn Demons’ return, he quickly escaped the oasis with Li Zhenqian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew, with his power, he was no match for the Hawthorn Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After fleeing the oasis, Wan Xun hid outside and watched for several two-hour periods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lin Chen not emerge, he grew more desolate, yet was forced to leave, heading towards the desert north.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, deep beneath the oasis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brown light flickered around Lin Chen, allowing him to travel as easily through the sand-covered grounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All around was an expanse of intertwined hawthorn vines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like tentacles, they wriggled madly underground...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ha, if we’re above ground, I’d have little to do with you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But down here, you’ve walked right into my trap!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen snorted coldly, using the Earth Escape Technique to swiftly maneuver underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Divine Sense spread out like a tide, clearly sensing the Hawthorn Demon’s roots and vines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally found it... the root of the Hawthorn Demon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen was delighted, quickly dashing toward the Hawthorn Demon’s root.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This immense Hawthorn Demon, its vines were endless, growing swiftly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To eradicate it, one must destroy the root, severely damaging it from the source...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a few strides, Lin Chen approached the Hawthorn Demon’s root.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hawthorn Demon seemed to sense the threat, wildly driving its vines towards Lin Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But deep underground, hindered by the soil, the vines were less agile than on the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen wielded the Demon-slaying Blade, raising and striking the blade down!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A root as thick as an arm, covered in fuzz, was severed by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hawthorn Demon’s root was akin to its brain, heart!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the root in hand, the once frenetic vines underground lost control, buried in soil, devoid of life force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk, a five-thousand-year-old Hawthorn Demon! This root... such strong life force!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen murmured, storing the root in his Nanobag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as the Hawthorn Demon root lives, it can continuously grow and propagate... if tamed, using it in battle, it might possess Core Formation Stage strength!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",945,"2026-06-03T10:50:41.488Z",1,"novelbin.me","9b9d4695cdf9374db1198c54df74504248553ca46a8215f4506c6a70ce944b73","i-can-travel-between-two-worlds-chapter-197","i-can-travel-between-two-worlds-chapter-195",422,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-can-travel-between-two-worlds-cover.jpg"]
