As the saying goes, when two foes meet on a narrow path, the braver one wins. Zhang San and his group of trial participants are now forced into a position where they must confront the man-eating ants. In such a situation, only by facing death with courage and directly confronting these man-eating ants is there a possibility of survival.

  Although not every trial participant, including Zhang San, possesses the courage to face death, under Xing Peng's leadership, their ragtag team still manages to exude a heroic atmosphere.

  Xing Peng leads at the front, his eyes faintly exuding a wicked aura. This is not his first encounter with ferocious beasts since arriving in this world, but it is definitely the first time he has been surrounded by so many of them.

  Thousands of man-eating ants, each with Earth Level strength, surround them. To say Xing Peng is not apprehensive would be a lie. However, confident in his own trump card, he is compelled to take such a mad action. In his hand, he subtly holds a white jade bottle filled with an extremely eerie liquid.

  The liquid in the white jade bottle is the reason Xing Peng is confident he can lead Xing Jianfeng and the others out of the man-eating ants' attack. This venom was extracted from the inner cores of numerous Blackwater Poison Frogs in the Blackwater Plains, combined with the 'Tang Sect Poison Manual.'

  The potency of the venom refined by Xing Peng is hundreds of times stronger than that found in the Blackwater Poison Frog's body. A small bottle like the one in Xing Peng's hand is enough to kill the population of an entire city, provided their strength has not reached the Sky-Breaking Level or above. If someone has reached or exceeded the Sky-Breaking Level, then Xing Peng's poison would not be as effective. Despite the lethality of the Blackwater Poison Frog's venom, it is, after all, from an Earth Level beast and cannot kill someone at or above the Sky-Breaking Level.

  However, the venom isn't intended to be effective against Sky-Breaking Level warriors but to solve the current crisis. The surrounding man-eating ants, numerous as they are, are still just Earth Level beasts. Once hit by this venom, death is certain.

  As Xing Peng and the others move, the man-eating ants that were surrounding them suddenly start to agitate, emitting a ferocious aura. Despite their agitation, they do not attack immediately, as if waiting for a command. This eerie situation sends shivers down Zhang San and the other trial participants' spines.

  One hundred meters, eighty meters, fifty meters, thirty meters...

  Despite moving at a normal pace, Xing Peng and the others are getting closer and closer to the man-eating ants, and as they move, the ants methodically close their encirclement.

  Their movements are almost as disciplined as a trained army, as if they possess a kind of intelligence, causing the hearts of Zhang San and the other trial participants to tremble uncontrollably.

  "What are Jin Disan and Xing Peng planning to do? Why haven't they made a move yet?"

  "Damn, this is too thrilling. I can barely take it!"

  "Motherfucker, if I can survive this ordeal, after completing this trial, I will definitely pursue the woman of my dreams!"

  The trial participants follow behind Xing Peng and the others, each acutely aware of their racing heartbeats.

  "Thump, thump! Thump, thump!" The rhythm of their hearts is so fast, it feels as if it might leap out of their throats. Every trial participant's back is involuntarily covered in cold sweat. Though it's just a hundred meters or so, to them, it's akin to walking through the gates of hell. The pressure is immense, nearly breaking them.

  Xing Jianfeng and the other Xing family disciples, although confident in Xing Peng's ability to lead them out of the encirclement, find their hearts almost jumping to their throats as they step closer to the man-eating ants, their expressions extremely solemn.

  This is a test of mental strength. Those who can't bear it will collapse. Anyone standing on the brink of death would be nervous.

  "Squeak, squeak!" A strange cry suddenly emanates from the group of man-eating ants, and almost instantly, the ants surrounding Xing Peng and the others charge at them. As they do, a rich, bloody scent spreads in all directions, filling the air with a murderous aura and painting the sky red.

  The fire-red man-eating ants, in their mass movement, resemble a burning cloud, determined to conquer everything in their path.

  Seeing this, a cold light flashes in Xing Peng's eyes. This is the moment he has been waiting for. If these man-eating ants didn't attack together, it would be difficult for him to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

  In the blink of an eye, Xing Peng crushes the jade bottle in his hand, and the venom within seeps out. He then uses Profound Qi to attract the venom to his hand, leaps into the air, and with a wave of his hand, disperses the venom like a goddess scattering flowers. Under the influence of Profound Qi, the venom forms a light curtain that quickly covers and kills all the beasts within tens of meters.

  In just a moment, hundreds of beasts fall dead, leaving the trial participants, who were bracing for a tough battle, with their jaws dropped in shock.

  The fall of the beasts does not stop there. Continuously, beasts charge towards Xing Peng and his group only to die instantly. When the light curtain finally disappears, the number of man-eating ants surrounding Xing Peng and the others is less than one-tenth of the original number.

  "Motherfucker! Am I seeing things? So many man-eating ants died just like that!"

  "My god, what kind of technique is this? It's too astonishing!"

  "Inconceivable, inconceivable!"

  The trial participants look at each other in disbelief, finding it hard to believe what they've just witnessed. Such a scene is too incredible for them, even a Sky-Breaking Level warrior might not be able to kill so many man-eating ants in one go. Yet, Xing Peng did it, indicating his strength is at an incredible level.

  While the other trial participants are shocked, Jin Disan and Shangguan Meiyu are also stunned by Xing Peng's method, equally amazed and surprised.

  "Poison!!! Xing Peng, you used poison?!" Jin Disan, amidst his shock, shows disbelief. It's hard to believe that Xing Peng would resort to using poison! Though not unheard of in this world, the use of poison is generally despised by warriors, with few opting to learn such techniques. Typically, only alchemists would attempt to study them.
