393 Increasing Strength, Exceeding The Poison Men
“How could he not die? I’m afraid he’s already become a meal for the poisonous insects.”
When the Five Poison Sect heard Li Mao’s words, they revealed disdainful expressions.
The black insects squirmed together, looking like a large cloud from a distance, shrouding the once peaceful Valley of Medicine Masters with the shadow of death.
Whether it was the disciples or the elders, all of them looked panicked, because this might be the biggest catastrophe that the Valley of Medicine Masters had faced since its establishment. The slightest carelessness would lead to the danger of being crushed and the entire sect being wiped out.
The only turning point was when Li Mao and Ye Xuan were both fine. When all the cards were used, no matter how small and impossible this opportunity seemed, it still carried all the hope of the people.
Everyone from the Valley of Medicine Masters couldn’t help but be nervous inwardly.
As time passed, there was still no movement. The flame in their eyes, which had been ignited with great difficulty, showed signs of being extinguished again.
The sinister voice of the Five Poison Sect suddenly rang out, indicating that death was approaching.
“Did you see that? This is the consequence of going against us. No one can escape. It’s your turn next.”
The black insects kept making buzzing sounds, which were different from their usual movements after filling their stomachs. These sounds were a little strange, and one could even feel fear from them.
These were just insects, so their ability to withstand pressure was stronger. Logically speaking, they shouldn’t have such emotions, unless the creature they were facing was much stronger than them.
This had never happened before.
The Five Poison Sect sensed this strange fear and were even somewhat baffled. It was only then that they realized something was wrong. The chewing sounds they had heard in the past did not come.
It happened too late.
“Bang!”
A disciple wanted to check out the situation, but as soon as he got close, he heard a deafening explosion. A burst of white light flashed in front of his eyes. It was so blinding that he almost lost his sight.
Before he could react to what was happening, the insect carcasses that covered the sky and the earth came towards him and buried him in them. Mixed with the stench of decay, the disciple almost fainted.
If not for the help of his companions, he would have suffocated on the spot.
“How could this be?”
Ye Xuan held his black iron sword and cut a big hole in the insect tide. The defense Qi formed by the tip of the sword formed a vacuum around him. Neither the insects nor the corpses could get close.
The closer they got, the greater the pressure they could feel. The vortex formed by the powerful sword Qi sucked in the poisonous insects. They couldn’t even touch Ye Xuan’s clothes, let alone touch him.
“How could it be like this?!”
The disciples of the Five Poison Sect could not believe it. When they met his deep gaze, which was like a dark abyss that was about to devour people. Even they, who had always been ruthless, could not help but shiver.
The Five Poison Sect looked at the insect carcasses that covered the sky and the earth, and their hearts ached. These insects were different from other poisonous creatures. They had been carefully cultivated, and each of them was powerful. They had put in a lot of effort, so their growth cycle was longer.
There were only so many mature ones, and more than half of them were destroyed by Ye Xuan at once. There was no way they could report back to the higher-ups.
Because of the Fifth Elder, they had originally thought that the Valley of Medicine Masters was the easiest bone to gnaw on, but they had not expected such a thorn in their side to appear.
“This is nothing much.”
Hearing Ye Xuan’s nonchalant tone, the Five Poison Sect was so angry that they couldn’t speak. “You…”
“What else do you have? Show me.”
Ye Xuan looked at them coldly, as if he was looking at dead people. He was alone, but he was not afraid of the many experts of the Five Poison Sect. Even if there were thousands of troops, he could still keep a straight face.
“Very well.” One of the disciples from the Five Poison Sect gritted his teeth. He was clearly furious. “The real feast has yet to come.”
There were so many poisonous insects, but none of them had any effect on Ye Xuan. Even the poison had no effect. He must have supreme-grade pills on him. The Five Poison Sect would not be stupid enough to use them again.
“Then I’ll let you experience the might of the poison men army.”
The green-eyed people who had been silent all this time moved out in full force.
They didn’t believe that the poisonous insects couldn’t do anything to Ye Xuan. They didn’t believe that the poison men made by the ancestor with ancient secret techniques wouldn’t be able to do anything to Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan knew the cruelty and horror of this method of making poison men, so he did not dare to take it lightly.
The black iron sword that seemed to weigh a thousand pounds was dancing in his hand like a tiger and the crescent moon-shaped sword Qi struck the poison man nearest to him with lightning speed. It was swift, extremely, clean, and neat.
Even the huge rocks that were half the height of a person not far away were affected and instantly turned into dust.
The speed was so fast that the poison man was not able to dodge in time and he could only use his body to receive the blow. As if he could not feel any pain at all, he did not even stop in his tracks as he continued to attack ferociously.
If it was an ordinary person who was injured by Ye Xuan, even if they didn’t die, they would be crippled, and even sky rank powerhouses would not be able to escape. But these poison men were completely unscathed.
They didn’t need to use any weapons. Their black fingers were like the most powerful blades in the world, and they stabbed straight ahead.
Even the air was split into two. Those long, black fingers that didn’t look like they belonged to a normal person were really terrifying.
Because of the large movement, it pulled on the wound, and green blood flowed on the ground, instantly corroding countless small holes.
These poison men did not seem to care and when the people from the Valley of Medicine Masters saw this, they could not help but draw in a sharp breath.
During this time, many sharp blades hit their hands, and their clothes were torn and tattered. They also had many more wounds, but their attacks were still fierce.
“The poison men are too powerful.”
“I remember that this disciple is only an odd job worker disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect. At most, his cultivation is around the human rank. Now, he is almost at the peak of the earth rank.”
