The red vines in Jiang Xinli's hands suddenly burst forth, quickly weaving themselves into a crimson storm around the two of them.
The storm barrier expanded rapidly, shattering all thorns in its path.
She held her breath and focused her will, then flicked her fingers outward with a vicious swipe—
"BOOM!!!"
With a deafening explosion, the entire Thorn Maze came crashing down, showering the sky with black shards like a torrential rain.
Bai Yao flicked his finger, summoning a gale that instantly blew all the shards to dust.
Jiang Xinli retracted her vines. As she looked up at the distant blue sky and white clouds, her breath hitched at the sight of a giant tree towering into the heavens, nearly the size of a football field.
"Bai Yao, I did it!" Jiang Xinli spun around in excitement and crashed right into a firm embrace.
"Sorry..." Jiang Xinli was about to pull away when a large hand wrapped around the small of her back, drawing her back into the embrace.
