But just as Thunderbolt Ancestor's hand was about to touch Yan Sijing, something unexpected happened!
A dark purple vine shot out suddenly from Yan Sijing's embrace, instantly piercing through Thunderbolt Ancestor's shoulder, who had no defenses up.
Thunderbolt Ancestor lost color in shock and immediately pushed Yan Sijing away. At the same time, he used his palm as a knife, channeling mana to form a shadow of a lightning blade in his palm and slashed down, cutting the vine into two pieces.
However, the severed vine melted into Thunderbolt Ancestor's body in the blink of an eye.
When Thunderbolt Ancestor tried to reach for the severed branch, it had already disappeared without a trace.
Right after, a powerful Curse Power descended, and just like the branch, it merged into Thunderbolt Ancestor's body upon contact.
