87: Chapter 87 A Rose Watered with Human Blood? I've Got My Eye on This Potted Plant!

Leaving the banquet hall in chaos behind them, Su Yang led four stunning beauties through the deep, dim corridor.

The screams and roars from behind gradually faded away, replaced by a suffocating silence.

Drip... drip...

The air became damp and sticky, and the red carpet under their feet had somehow turned into wet, dark red mud.

Ugh... what is that smell?

Liu Waner covered her nose, her face turning pale.

Although she had seen her fair share of the world, the air, which was a mixture of formaldehyde, the scent of blood, and rotting roses, almost made her throw up her dinner from the night before.

This is the smell of fertilizer.

Su Yang said, walking at the front with a flashlight in his hand.

It seems Madam Rose wasn't lying; the roses here really were grown using special fertilizer.

As the beam of the flashlight swept across, everyone finally saw the scene before them.

It was a massive glass greenhouse.

But what grew here were not ordinary plants; they were half-man-high, blood-red, and even slightly wriggling... Blood Roses!

The stems of these roses were not rooted in soil, but rather embedded into corpses hanging upside down!

Those corpses were both male and female; some had already turned into mummies, while others were still fresh, even twitching slightly.

Thick stems pierced into their veins, acting like straws to endlessly draw nutrients and transport them to the delicate, vibrant flowers at the top.

Ah!!!

Ye Yuqing and Liu Waner had never seen such a sight; they screamed in terror, clutching Su Yang's arm tightly and trembling all over.

Even Mary frowned and waved her hand in disgust.

How unrefined! This is a complete waste of food! This kind of aged dead blood is the hardest to drink!

Quiet.

Su Yang patted the back of the two women's hands to reassure them, but his gaze drifted past this terrifying field of flowers toward the very center of the greenhouse.

There, a circular blood pool with a diameter of about ten meters lay.

The liquid in the pool was boiling and churning, bubbling with massive blood bubbles.

In the very center of the blood pool grew a giant rose, fully two meters tall, pitch-black like ink, with golden edges lining its petals!

It was like a queen looking down from high above at the lowly Blood Roses surrounding it.

A heart-stopping Demonic Qi was radiating from this black rose.

This is...

Su Yang's eyes lit up, even more excited than when he saw that group of rich people turn into zombies.

The Soul-Devouring Black Demon Flower?!

I didn't expect to see such an ancient, exotic species in this Age of Dharma Decline!

Soul-Devouring... Black Demon Flower?

Su Qingcheng floated in mid-air, her red dress fluttering, her eyes grave.

Master, this flower is very dangerous. I feel like my soul is being pulled by it.

Danger just means it's the right one.

Su Yang licked his lips, his eyes filled with greed.

This is the main ingredient for refining the Nine-Turn Soul-Returning Pill, and it's also a top-tier item for gathering Spiritual Qi!

If I plant it in my spiritual field and combine it with a Spirit Gathering Formation, the concentration of Spiritual Qi in my courtyard will at least double!

I'll take this potted plant!

As if it understood that Su Yang intended to take it away as a potted plant, the previously still black rose suddenly moved!

Swish!

Countless pitch-black, thorny vines lunged out from the blood pool, like dozens of black venomous snakes, whistling through the air as they lashed out fiercely at Su Yang and the others!

Careful!

Su Qingcheng reacted the fastest; with a wave of her red sleeve, several red silk ribbons flew out, attempting to entangle those vines.

But these black vines were incredibly tough and coated in corrosive venom.

Sizzle!

As soon as the red silk touched the vines, it was corroded with large holes, and Su Qingcheng let out a muffled groan as her figure retreated.

What a vicious plant!

Mary was also angry. She teleported forward, her dinner knife turning into a silver storm as she tried to sever the vines.

Clang, clang, clang!

A sound like metal striking metal rang out.

Those vines were actually harder than steel!

Mary's hand went numb from the shock, yet she had only left a few white marks on them.

Roar!

The stamen of the black rose suddenly opened, revealing a large mouth filled with sharp teeth, and it let out a roar unlike anything a plant should be able to make.

Immediately following this, a burst of pink pollen erupted, instantly shrouding the entire greenhouse.

Hold your breath! It's poisonous!

Su Yang shouted, waving one hand.

Golden Light Curse! Defend!

Hum!

A massive golden light barrier appeared out of thin air, shielding all five of them inside.

The pollen, which carried potent poison and hallucinogenic effects, slammed against the golden light barrier with a crackling sound, unable to penetrate even an inch.

You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit.

Su Yang looked at the clawing, gnashing Black Demon Flower and sneered.

I was going to leave you intact, but since you won't listen, don't blame me for being ruthless with flowers.

System, redeem the Geng Metal Sword Qi Talisman for me!

Ding! 200 points consumed! Redemption successful!

Although the Yang Five Thunders could also solve this, the power of lightning was too great, and it would be bad if it scorched this precious flower.

To deal with this kind of plant-type demonic entity, one must use the principle of the Five Elements.

Metal conquers Wood!

A silver-white talisman appeared in Su Yang's hand, with a sharp little sword drawn on it.

Go!

He held the talisman between two fingers and pointed it from a distance at the black rose.

Whoosh!

The talisman burned, instantly transforming into a silver-white Sword Qi several zhang long, sweeping out with an unstoppable, razor-sharp intent!

Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!

The black vines that had been hard as iron just a moment ago were like tofu before this Geng Metal Sword Qi; over a dozen were severed in an instant!

Black sap splattered everywhere, and the Black Demon Flower let out a shrill, miserable scream.

Its massive flower head trembled violently, seemingly feeling fear, and it tried to shrink back into the blood pool.

Want to run?

Since Su Yang had already made his move, how could he possibly let it escape?

His figure flashed as he charged directly out of the golden light barrier, stepping on the corpses floating in the blood pool, and reached the Black Demon Flower in just a few steps.

Get... up!

Su Yang's hands were wrapped in golden light as he grabbed the main trunk of the Black Demon Flower.

Yaah!!!

He roared, his muscles bulging, and pushed his Nine-Turn Pure Yang Technique to the limit.

Rumble!

The entire greenhouse shook.

The Soul-Devouring Black Demon Flower, whose roots were deeply embedded at the bottom of the blood pool, was actually uprooted by Su Yang through sheer brute force!

Splash!

The massive root System brought up a rain of blood.

The Black Demon Flower twisted frantically, the large mouth on its flower head trying to bite Su Yang's hand, but its teeth were shattered by the golden light on Su Yang's body.

Behave!

Su Yang slapped the flower head, instantly stunning it.

From now on, you'll be the guard flower in my courtyard. If you dare to act up again, I'll chop you up and feed you to the pigs!

Under this absolute suppression of power, the previously vicious Black Demon Flower finally recognized reality; its petals wilted, and its vines hung down powerlessly, signaling submission.

Store!

With a thought, Su Yang directly stored the giant Black Demon Flower into his System space.

As the Black Demon Flower disappeared, the surrounding Blood Roses that depended on it for survival instantly withered, turning into a pile of black ash.

The boiling blood pool also stopped churning, turning into a stagnant pool of dead water.

Phew... done.

Su Yang clapped his hands and jumped back to the bank.

Looking at the four stunned beauties, he grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

Let's go, the loot is secured.

This place is too smelly; let's go home and take a shower.

However, just as they were preparing to leave, a stone slab suddenly appeared at the bottom of the now-dried blood pool.

On the stone slab was carved a line of bloody characters: Su Yang, you destroyed my Clone and stole my spiritual flower.

I will settle this account with you on the fifteenth of the seventh lunar month, during the Night of the Hundred Ghosts, when I will come to take your head myself! —Ghost Granny

Su Yang looked back at the words and curled his lip in disdain.

Tch, the same old lines again; can't you come up with something original?

Old hag, wash your neck clean and wait. When the time comes, I'll use you as fertilizer for my land too!
