Thus, Fang Yun felt a surge of determination, and the vines swirling around him instantly shot out.
At the same time, the roots of the vines intertwined to form a handle.
Fang Yun grabbed the handle, channeling his spiritual energy into it, instantly enhancing the strength of the vines.
After all, this time he was facing two Blood Imprint Warriors, and based on Lai Kuan's earlier performance, these warriors could still inflict some damage on the vines.
Given this situation, Fang Yun dared not be careless.
With the boost from his spiritual energy, the vines let out a whistling sound as they rapidly approached the battlefield where Lai Kuan was.
The two attackers surrounding Lai Kuan immediately sensed the change.
Without turning around, the middle-aged man with the sword swung his longsword, emanating golden light, toward the rear.
At the same time, the other middle-aged man wielding the staff intensified his assault on Lai Kuan, trying to take advantage of the moment to break through Lai Kuan's defenses.
Though Lai Kuan was in dire straits, seeing Fang Yun's vines appear before him filled him with a glimmer of hope; he would never allow the attackers to break through his defenses now!
Thus, he desperately squeezed the power within his body, channeling it through the short dagger in his hand to strengthen the protective shield outside his body.
This increased the thickness of the shield even more.
At that moment, the sword-wielding man finally struck the vines with his sword.
However, thanks to Fang Yun's spiritual energy enhancement, the hardness of the spikes on the vines had exceeded previous levels.
A single sword strike could not easily break through.
Instead, the swordsman was pushed back repeatedly by the tremendous force of the vines.
As a result, the man holding the long staff had to give way.
Then, he faced the oncoming vines.
Seeing this, Fang Yun flicked his wrist, continuing to channel his spiritual energy.
The head of the vines arced and struck fiercely against the staff of the man wielding it.
Although he desperately unleashed a burst of yellow light for defense, he was still knocked back by the tremendous force of the vines.
Then, Fang Yun did not stop there.
Since he had already attacked, he aimed not just to kill these two but also to incapacitate them completely to feel secure.
Taking advantage of the moment when the staff-wielding man was sent flying, Fang Yun directed the vines to swiftly reach the swordsman.
In an instant, a giant constrictor wrapped around the swordsman, tightening its grip.
Seeing this, the swordsman's pupils shrank suddenly. With his rich combat experience, he naturally knew that he couldn't let himself get ensnared by the vines.
Otherwise, he would surely die.
Thus, he slashed outward with his longsword, which radiated golden light, creating several sword waves around him.
At the same time, he leaped upward into the air.
Fang Yun couldn't allow him to escape so easily; he surged his spiritual energy into the vines.
The spikes on the vines then emitted a sparkling glow.
With this enhancement, the entire vine plant ignored the incoming sword waves.
As it retracted inward, it also swept upward.
The sword waves unleashed by the swordsman struck the vines fiercely.
However, apart from a dazzling explosion of light, they had little effect.
After withstanding the sword strikes, the vines surged upward and ensnared the swordsman within.
The terrifying spikes immediately penetrated his body, and countless streams of blood gushed out, nullifying all of the swordsman's ability to resist.
In just a few exchanges, one of the two attackers on Lai Kuan had already lost the ability to fight.
This instantly caused the ten people surrounding the three elders of the Whale Gang to stop their movements.
The staff-wielding man, unable to comprehend how his ally had been taken down after just a few steps back, instantly lost his fighting spirit.
He glanced at Fang Yun, who was still standing on the wall, and immediately recognized his identity.
Although he didn't understand why Fang Yun, as a cultivator, would help Lai Kuan, who had once killed several cultivators, it was clear that their operation had failed.
Staying here any longer might lead to them being taken down by this cultivator as well.
Thus, the staff-wielding man suddenly sprang into action, launching himself over the wall, trying to escape this perilous place.
However, it was already too late for him to think of fleeing now.
How could Fang Yun let such a hidden danger slip away?
He lightly tapped his feet and moved closer to the staff-wielding man.
At the same time, the vines forcefully flung the severely injured swordsman aside.
Then they rushed toward the staff-wielding man.
In the end, the staff-wielding man couldn't match the speed of the vines.
Seeing the vines closing in on him, he could only let out an angry roar.
The long staff in his hand glowed yellow, and he struck fiercely at the vines.
The vines absorbed the impact of the blow, then swiftly coiled around the staff-wielding man several times.
With a powerful contraction, the spikes plunged deep into his body.
As blood gushed out, Fang Yun subdued yet another Blood Seal Martial Warrior.
At this point, Fang Yun slowly descended from the air, lightly shaking his hand to toss the staff-wielding man beside the swordsman.
He then looked toward the ten individuals on the other battlefield.
With a sweep of his gaze, the ten felt waves of weakness wash over them.
Without any hesitation, they all dropped their weapons and obediently knelt on the ground.
"Cultivator, spare our lives! We are willing to surrender!"
Fang Yun shook off the blood from the vines.
Then, he glanced at the three Whale Gang elders slumped on the ground, and Lai Kuan, who had already collapsed and fallen into a coma beside them.
He said to the ten, "Send someone outside to declare that they can stop now!
As for your gang's internal matters, I hope you can come up with a reasonable resolution.
But I do not wish to see any more bloodshed!"
After saying this, Fang Yun no longer paid attention to the crowd and turned back to his small courtyard.
With the combat power demonstrated in this battle, Fang Yun believed they wouldn't dare to ignore his words.
As Fang Yun left, the atmosphere on site changed instantly.
The ten individuals got up, exchanged glances, then looked at the three elders of the Whale Gang and the unconscious Lai Kuan.
Killing intent flickered in their eyes.
"What do you want? Don't forget what the cultivator just said!
He doesn't want us to have any more bloodshed between us.
Do you dare to defy him?"
One of the three elders, despite his weakened body, stood up and threatened them.
Upon hearing the elder's words, the ten exchanged glances and could only conceal the killing intent in their hearts.
"Hmph, this time you're lucky!"
Then they moved to the other side, helping the two injured Blood Seal Martial Warriors up and feeding them some medicinal pills.
They then asked, "Gang Leader, Sect Leader, what do we do now?"
