Five Poison Corpse Puppets Make Their Debut!
"Auspicious omen for the middle class..."
"Interesting. It seems the Liuyuan Dao District's lines aren't as tenacious as we thought; they've all converged on the Northern Liang Dao District..."
Are we preparing for a battle to defend the capital?
Qin Lu gazed into the distance, calculating the troop strength of each region in the Daliang...
He then gave the order:
"Su Wanchang and Gan Ling will each lead 50,000 allied troops to launch a strong attack on the left and right flanks of Mingde City, to test the strength of the enemy's defenders..."
"Qin Wu will lead the Black Dragon Legion to provide support at any time."
"The remaining Yingchuan, Yunmeng, and Cloud River Army Corps will remain inactive for now, pending further developments."
"Yes, I will obey the Ancestor's command!"
Everyone agreed, and then a series of military orders were issued...
The army of over 100,000 immediately began to operate, splitting into two waves and rushing towards Mingde City. Various siege weapons slowly moved forward with the army.
In mid-air--
Qin Wu, Su Wanchang, and Gan Ling stood in the sky, locked in a stalemate with three cultivators not far away...
With just a slight sense, one can discover that the three Qi Condensation cultivators on the enemy side seem to be only at the first or second level of Qi Condensation!
The two sides were evenly matched, and neither dared to make any rash moves...
"Brother Su, Brother Wu, what do you say?"
"There seem to be only three cultivators guarding the pass. Should we take action to hold them off?"
Upon hearing this—
Qin Wu nodded slightly, one hand Hand Seals, the other holding a sword.
The next moment, its Golden Light flashed across the sky, transforming into countless weapons...
Wherever his sword points, Myriad Weapons will follow!
"Kill!!"
The word "kill" was uttered, and in an instant, thousands of weapons shot out like a storm, countless blades converging to form a Golden Light torrent!
"Oh no!"
"That young man in black robes is a sword cultivator!"
"Quick! Kill that brat first!"
Among the three cultivators from the Daliang, one cried out in surprise, and then began to form hand Method Formula...
Instantly, all the water converged and formed a winding water dragon, rushing towards the golden torrent!
With a deafening boom, the water dragon was shattered by countless Golden Light, torn apart like pieces of paper into a shower of rain...
"Grass!"
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
"Damn it, if there were any Fire Dao cultivators here, this kid wouldn't have a chance to act so arrogantly!"
The cultivator from the Great Liang Waterway was quite exasperated, as his prized Water-based Transformation Technique had been shattered in an instant!
As the golden torrent surged forth, the latter could only leave behind a watery avatar...
Its true form transformed into flowing water and escaped.
Meanwhile, two other cultivators from the Daliang attacked from the left and right...
With a casual wave of his hand, one of them summoned countless vines, seemingly intent on strangling Qin Wu to death!
The other person then adopted an embracing posture, and the earthen nuclei condensed into rock spikes, which were then smashed towards his head...
"Don't be so arrogant!"
Su Wanchang and Gan Ling spoke in unison, one exhaling flames and the other clapping their hands together to shoot out a streak of azure water!
Flames consumed the vines, and water cut through the rocky cones!
The two stood in the sky, their feet treading upon all living beings...
It was as if two sturdy gates firmly protected Qin Wu behind him. Although his cultivation was weaker than his opponent's, as long as he attacked steadily and slowly...
They were evenly matched!
Although their Spiritual Power was not as abundant as their opponent's, what could they do when a Rank-2 Alchemist stood behind them?
Qin Lu was always kind and generous to his own people.
They had all sorts of pills—restorative, toxic, and potential-enhancing—and the two even openly used them to replenish mana right in front of each other...
They even ate two small blue pills, and immediately their Qi and Blood rushed to their heads and their veins bulged!
"Dry!"
"Dry!"
With a loud shout, flames and water surged forth, and fiery flowers bloomed continuously at the top of the sky...
Strands of azure water continuously sliced through the enemy's offensive!
Even through teamwork --
It even severely injured a cultivator from the Daliang Wood Dao; one of his arms was instantly severed by the water line, and then a great fire burned him to ashes!
"Escape!"
"The three of them are far more coordinated than us, and then there's that elixir..."
"There's probably a Four Arts Alchemist standing behind them! Let's retreat first and rely on Mingde City's formation to defend ourselves; there might still be a glimmer of hope!"
That Wood Dao cultivator was also decisive in making decisions when necessary.
He swiftly summoned his Law Artifact, drawing upon countless wood Spiritual Power to heal his body...
He conjured a wooden hand to fill the gap left by the severed arm, then quickly retreated, controlling the vines to attack backward!
The other two heard this—
After unleashing their Law Technique to neutralize the attack, they retreated accordingly...
But at that moment, five figures in black robes had already surrounded their rear, and then Qin Wu and the other two stepped forward, forming an encirclement!
"Eight Qi Condensation cultivators?!"
"How could this be!"
"Just who is this power? Could it be the overlord of the Da Zhou?"
The three were terrified, yet dared not reveal the slightest emotion. The battle between cultivators was like that between wild wolves, where the one who feared the most...
It's highly likely they'll fail!
"Wrong!"
"Those five black-robed cultivators don't seem to have any life force; they're more like puppets. Don't panic..."
Water Dao cultivators possess the highest cultivation level and are also the most composed...
With this guidance, the three of them were not intimidated at all!
Each of them held their auras restrained, as if prepared for a life-or-death battle...
This was unexpected by Qin Wu and the others.
really--
Those Qi Condensation Realm cultivators who can stand out from thousands of Warrior are no fools, especially those from powerful and influential Aristocratic Clan...
Don't assume that just because someone comes from the Aristocratic Clan family, they've seen less bloodshed!
For a Lineage power that has been passed down for hundreds of years, there may be spoiled brats, but how many truly foolish ones do you think could actually reach the Qi Condensation?
"Surround them!"
"We'll spare as many as we can. The other side is definitely holding back; we need to force out the rats behind it all!"
Upon hearing this—
Su Wanchang and Gan Ling exchanged a glance, then stood to the left and right respectively. Su Wanchang was engulfed in flames, and his clothes turned to ashes...
Crimson lines covered his entire body!
He then charged toward the three of them, while behind him, Gan Ling gathered Spiritual Power and instantly condensed six water lines, which slashed toward the enemy!
The Five Poison Corpse Puppets are named as follows: Five Viscera, Six Bowels, Seven Emotions, Six Desires, and Soul Severing!
Its five corpses stood separately, then its Soul Severing spewed out gray-black poisonous smoke, shrouding the sky and completely blocking the detection of the five senses and Spiritual Power...
When the Seven Emotions are involved, the body becomes distorted, and seven strange faces representing joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hate, and thought immediately appear on the body!
This means it contains seven neurotoxins!
It can cause the enemy to randomly fall into a certain emotion and become unable to extricate themselves!
The Six Desires refer to the six bodies, representing six kinds of numbing toxins, which can target: eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, mind...
Once contaminated, one's six senses are completely sealed off; one may become blind, deaf, or unable to speak again. Those with weak wills...
If one is poisoned by intention, one's spirit and soul will weaken until they perish!
The five viscera and six bowels correspond to the various organs of the human body. The poison specifically targets the five viscera and six bowels, especially the heart meridian; damage to these organs will undoubtedly lead to death...
