Chapter 393: Only Mistake

This small vine was hidden at the junction where Lian San had used his Golden Sharp Qi to crush three vines before, all for covering up and disguising its presence.

After consuming Lian San’s Golden Sharp Qi with ordinary vines, it remained wrapped up until it emerged, posing no threat, just to make Lian San let his guard down and deliver a fatal blow to him in midair.

Sensing danger is one thing, but having physical reaction time is another.

Lian San was already at the peak among agile experts, but now he had no reaction ability at all.

Because his claw spikes were leaning in the opposite direction.

Lian San already knew he couldn’t use the sharpness of the Golden Claw to defend against this attack, so he calmly moved his body slightly.

It was his instinct as a killer for many years, since he couldn’t avoid it, he had to minimize the damage.

In the next moment, the snake-like small vine pierced through Lian San’s body.

But Lian San’s slight movement caused the small vine, originally aimed at his heart, to deviate three centimeters from its intended target.

Although it sounds short, those three centimeters made a huge difference. Lian San, unharmed in the heart, reacted quickly and swung the claw in his hand, cutting off the part of the vine that hadn’t pierced his body, destroying its vitality before it could wriggle.

The Golden Claw’s sharpness was overpowering.

He didn’t try to pull out the part in his body, forcibly removing it would only cause further harm. He had already felt the cunning of this vine, and the thorned vine embedded in his chest was now covered with spikes, trying to remove it would lead to a lot of flesh being pulled out.

In this deadly trap set by Blood Lotus, Lian San survived, truly living up to his reputation as a top assassin even before the apocalypse.

Despite the intimidating appearance of the thick vine, it became extremely cumbersome after increasing in size. Lian San, holding his chest, watched as he was about to break free from the huge cage’s enclosure.

However, the story was not over.

Because he knew that three vines were already sticking out behind him.

But he hesitated.

He wondered whether to chop off these three vines or not.

If he didn’t chop them off, the vines would entangle him and slow down his escape.

But if he did chop them off, he had a feeling that one of the vines might be as tricky as before, and cutting it off would set it free.

Just as Lian San hesitated, something unexpected happened.

The intersection of the three vines suddenly broke open, and the familiar vine shot out on its own.

It unexpectedly didn’t wait for Lian San to act and rushed towards him.

Lian San let go of his hand covering his chest, and coldly looked at the agile vine that had just injured him, almost costing him his life.

“This should be your limit, but you should be proud. My completion rate, Lian San, is 99.3%, and now it’s probably going to drop by one point.”

He had already tested the toughness of this vine, under his sharp skills, it was just as fragile. The injury earlier was only because it was too fast.

Once he dealt with this threat, he could leave and everything would be fine.

Earlier, he had observed the thickness of the thick vines that made up the huge prison. It was difficult to break through in one go with his sharp skills. If he got restrained and surrounded by the five second-rank evolvers behind him, it would be troublesome.

Especially since Inside, there was the City Master of Ejin Horo Banner Sub-city, Hachikuju.

The last person Lian San wanted to face was Hachikuju. His blunt axe greatly restrained his sharp skills.

So he always believed that the biggest threat to him among Zhang Mu’s mutant plants was this enlarged vine cage that was about to envelop him, even though he had almost been pierced in the heart by the small vine earlier.

This time, he was facing four attacking vines head-on, his claws ready, and he didn’t sense any other dangers around. In his eyes, these four vines were no different from paper.

But this time, Lian San, who has always been accurate in predicting danger, made a mistake.

Just as his claw was about to crush the tiny vine in its path, it suddenly recoiled.

It wasn’t fear that Lian San felt, he instantly knew what it was up to.

As the special vine retreated, three ordinary vines quickly clashed with Lian San’s claw, wearing down the special golden sharpness on it.

The golden sharpness was indeed powerful, but it could only be used a fixed number of times.

The three ordinary vines reduced the power on the claw to a very low level, rendering it useless.

However, their mission was accomplished.

With no more golden sharpness to stop it, the special vine broke through the claw effortlessly.

In Lian San’s shocked eyes, it pierced through his skin, dug into his heart, and began stirring crazily.

Lian San’s heart, in a blink of an eye, turned into a pile of mud.

His eyes slowly started to lose focus, and his hands with claws struggled a few times before losing strength to move. They weakly hung down.

Lian San never expected that this time, he made a wrong judgment.

The biggest threat was not the rigid, huge vine cage that limited his movement.

It was actually the inconspicuous vine controlled by Zhang Mu’s Blood Lotus with true spiritual power.

Even though his heart was shattered, the strong body of a second-rank evolver did not let him die immediately.

His eyes flashed with expressions of people he had killed to complete missions.

There were old people, women, and children among them.

Their faces showed fear, madness, relief, and most of all, full of hatred.

A pair of eyes filled with hatred stared at him fiercely, but Lian San didn’t care at all.

Trained to be a killer since childhood, known for his strong fists, he continued to contact the leaders of those gathering places even after the apocalypse, continuing to kill.

Until he met that person.

Memories of that person automatically stopped, he didn’t want to think about it, as the cage closed in, he saw the sunlight fading from his face bit by bit, Lian San’s body slowly grew cold.

Is this my life?

Upon careful reflection, it’s quite dull, how unfortunate.

A dying person’s words are often good.

Unfortunately, this time he truly died.

After losing all vitality, Lian San’s entire body was suspended in the air by a thin vine that was too thin to see clearly.

After one second, the top vines overlapped, and the enlarged vines closed in, slowly coming together.

Inside the cage, darkness prevailed.
