Chapter Seventeen: Slaughter (Additional update with 450 votes)

  A streak of light like a star hit Meng Qi, but it was as if he had struck an illusion, passing directly through him and nailing itself to the wall of the ruined temple opposite.

  Iron flowers bloomed, five petals like orchids, delicate and enchanting. Within a ten-foot radius of the wall, mosquitoes and ants fell silently to the ground, several sand mice rolled out, their legs stretched straight, stiffened and died on the spot, all their fur fallen off, leaving them bald and making people feel eerie.

  They had never been in contact with Tang Hua, separated by several feet, but after Tang Hua's death, they still died!

  Chen Xiao and Luo You felt their throats dry up and swallowing became difficult, if they were the ones nearby, they would probably have met the same end, how terrifying was this hidden weapon!

  But what's even stranger is that within a zhang, the poison master would shoot his hidden weapon off target, passing three inches above the True Way cultivator. Does she have poor eyesight? Do her other senses also have problems?

  Tang Hua made her move, but she shot at a fake target. Hong Xiu cried out in alarm and the object in her other hand was about to fly out.

  As if a war chariot had burst through the layers of obstacles, Meng Qi had already "crushed" to her side, his mind immersed in clarity, the dark red knife light flashed, and the red dust swirled!

  The warm sunshine shone on her body, and the various pains of learning poison medicine and driving out poisonous insects suddenly attacked Hong Xiu's heart. Every wound on her body, every weakness in her physique, recorded this unbearable past event.

  Because of their own suffering, they cannot be at peace, so others must also suffer, and those who died at their hands have all endured the agony of poisoning!

  All this numbness and repetition, if one ignores the pain, is actually a special kind of tranquility, until that day when that person walked to his side, and then clarity disappeared, falling into the red dust.

  Hello girl, I'm Xia Yunfeng.

  Yes, I am Tang Hongxiu, not the "xiu" in delicate, but the "xiu" in sleeve.

  Pain surged through her body, and Hong Xiu woke up with a start, but everything was already too late, the scorching heat had penetrated deep into her heart and lungs.

  Blood spurted out, blurring her vision, Tang Hongxiao fell down unwillingly. I still have so many hidden weapons and so much poison, why didn't you give me a chance to use them?

  And why are you doing nothing?

  Meng Qi slashed with one knife and immediately retreated several steps. He raised his left hand, and a golden insect had already lost its life.

  "Are you wondering why it didn't work?" Meng Qi looked at Tang Hongxue's desperate, unwilling and puzzled eyes, and asked softly.

  Tang Hongxiao's throat was full of sounds, and it could break through the fifth pass of Jinzhongzhai!

  Meng Qi's mouth curled up into a faint smile, his left hand exerted force, and with a "crack", the insect was crushed into mush. He then leaned in close to Tang Hongxue and whispered, "Crunchy."

  Tang Hongxiao's eyes were wide open, refusing to close them even in death.

  I'm not a fool, I don't care about anything, using my Golden Bell Cover to test your poisonous insects. The reason I dare to rush forward is that I have practiced the Phantom Transformation Technique and entered the Open-minded period, vaguely having some sixth sense-like mysteriousness. If there are poisonous insects that can threaten me, I will probably be able to feel them and won't confuse them with ordinary poisonous insects.

  It's also your fault that there aren't many poisonous insects like you; otherwise, if several more were released, even if I could sense them, I would be overwhelmed and have to retreat.

  "Killed Tang Hongxiao, the Reincarnator of the Demon Cult Camp. Each person is rewarded with 100 good deeds."

  This time's task, the hint from the master of the six paths of reincarnation is directly echoing in the mind.

  Chen Xiao and Luo You's mouths were slightly ajar, staring at Meng Qi's back in shock. He actually, so easily killed that poisonous master?

  Just now, Master Zhen Ding was like a white elephant, charging forward unstoppable!

  And his knife was truly indescribable, full of strange red dust temptation, stunning beyond compare!

  Meng Qi was about to check if Tang Hongxiao had any remaining poisonous or hidden weapons, in order to deal with An Guo Xie. Suddenly, from Tang Hongxiao's waistband, bosom, back, socks, sleeve openings, and hem, one after another disgusting poisonous creatures emerged, including small snakes and insects, densely packed, making people feel nauseous.

  They crawled out, stunned for a moment, then flipped over and started gnawing at Tang Hongxue's corpse. The snakes, insects, and flies around them also counterattacked, instantly overwhelming Tang Hongxue.

  Meng Qi was about to force himself to hold back the nausea and drive them away, when suddenly, venomous snakes, spiders, geckos, and insects flipped over and died one by one. Soon, Tang Hongxiao's side was filled with the corpses of poisonous creatures, while she herself was left with only a skeleton and tattered clothes, along with many corroded hidden weapons.

  "People who use poison to drive out worms are really scary..." Meng Qi let out a light breath, found a branch and poked around in the remaining clothes of Tang Hongshou to see if there were any useful items left.

  Just then, the voice of the master of the six paths of reincarnation sounded again:

  "Xia Dandan was killed by Mo Jiao Zhen's reincarnation, and each person deducted 100 good deeds."

  Meng Qi took a deep breath in reverse, realizing that this time the enemy was likely to launch a comprehensive attack.

  …………

  Clouds and mist surrounded them, their senses were obscured, and their own attacks were all repelled by the swirling halo of light. The two demonic envoys' hearts were filled with fear, and they had already begun to think of escaping.

  Suddenly, mud and gravel burst forth from the surroundings, rapidly striking two demonic envoys, as if shot by a strong bow and hard crossbow, with killing intent soaring.

  Such a dense attack, the two demon envoys were completely unable to dodge, especially that guy who was good at earth escape, and had no way to deal with it. He slapped some away with his palms, but was hit by the remaining ones, and his body instantly became a beehive, with blood gushing out in streams.

  As the sun flashed, another person took advantage of the momentum to escape, disappearing on the spot, barely avoiding most of the mud and gravel attacks, only being hit a few times, with blood flowing freely.

  Just then, a magnificent scarlet-gold long sword with intricate patterns emitted an aura of majesty and grandeur, as if smoke and water, wonderfully arrived, precisely blocking the path of this messenger.

  The aura suppressed him, causing his mind to panic, and the long sword had already pierced through his heart.

  After easily killing the two assassins, Qi Zhengyan stroked the fresh blood on the dragon-patterned red gold sword, and a rare smile appeared on his face.

  "The Universe Mirror" is indeed extraordinary!

  These two assassins themselves had special martial arts skills. At a level where they were only just beginning to grasp the basics, they could actually borrow from nature's momentum. If it were someone else, they would definitely be flustered and wouldn't even be able to touch their opponent's shadow. But their own "Hun Tian Bao Jian" had emphasized heaven-man resonance since the start of their training, using the unusual energy between heaven and earth to cultivate an unparalleled divine skill that borrowed from heaven's momentum, nature's momentum, and all things' momentum - how could they be compared?

  "The first layer is 'White Cloud Smoke', with smoke and fog churning, blocking people's ears and eyes. The second layer is 'Rosy Haze', with rosy mist rising and dancing, shifting and moving to cover the sun and calm the spirit. The third layer is 'Earth Kunlun', with earth cracking and stones shattering, driving out minerals and sand to violently injure people."

  "No wonder it's so valuable!" Qi Zhengyan had not yet mastered the Earth Kunlun in his previous solo mission, and only briefly tried "White Cloud Smoke" and "Rose Petal Drift". This time, actual combat allowed him to anticipate this divine skill even more.

  But thinking of what was written in "Hun Tian Bao Jian": entering the door is easy, but the higher you go, the harder it is to cultivate. Talent, enlightenment, effort, and concentration are all indispensable. Thinking that I still haven't achieved a small success in "Fantasy Form" after half a year, a hint of gloom flashed through Qi Zheng's mind. Fortunately, at that time, he can let the master of the six paths of reincarnation infuse his body directly, perhaps exchanging for auxiliary cultivation methods to improve talent and enlightenment.

  "Killed Tang Hongxiao, the Reincarnator of the Demon Cult Camp. Each participant is rewarded with 100 Good Deeds."

  "Xia Dandan was killed by the Mo Cultivation camp's reincarnator, with each person deducting 100 good deeds."

  Upon hearing these two pieces of news, Qi Zhengyan lifted his head and gazed at the place shrouded in sandstorms, his expression extremely solemn.

  …………

  Inside the cave, flames were burning brightly, illuminating the surrounding terrain.

  Zhang Yuanshan and the Shadow Killer hiding in the dark were both motionless, seemingly playing a game of who would make the first move and lose.

  Assassination and counter-assassination, it's a test of patience!

  At this time, the voice of the master of the six reincarnations resounded in the minds of the two, announcing the deaths of Tang Hongxu and Xia Dandan at very short intervals.

  Zhang Yuanshan and Shadow Killer were not wooden men, and they couldn't help but be shocked after hearing this. However, as an assassin, Shadow Killer quickly regained her composure, raised her short sword, and prepared to launch a fatal attack.

  But at this time, he felt weak all over, breathing rapidly, dizzy, and fell to the ground with a thud.

  How did this happen?

  How can poisoning occur?

  Ying Xie was dazed and thinking vaguely, when he saw Fu Zhenzhen flip over the fire starter, behind which a small candle was hidden, burning slowly.

  Everything went black before his eyes and he could no longer see anything, nor did he know whether the candles and paper lanterns had been blown out or his own eyes were unable to see.

  But it didn't matter, for in the space of a breath he was completely unconscious.

  "Killed the Shadow Assassin of the Demon Cult's Reincarnation Camp, each person is rewarded with 100 Good Deeds."

  Zhang Yuanshan, who had taken the antidote, looked at the faint smile on Shadow Killer's face and sighed: "The Seven Heart Sea Rose is indeed colorless and odorless, making it hard to detect."

  Fu Zhen took a few steps forward and looked out of the cave, seeing that the wind and sand had not diminished, and anxiously said: "They are also under attack, do we need to go and rescue them?"

  "You hide here, I'll go. I roughly remember the positions of Jiang Shimei, Zhen Ding Shidi and Luo Shengyi." Zhang Yuanshan didn't want to risk having Xuanwu True Essence, who wasn't very strong in close combat, venture into the wind and sand.

  Fu Zhenzhen opened her mouth as if she wanted to follow, but ultimately said: "Yuanshan, you be careful."

  She thought to herself that if she followed him, in this situation where her eyes couldn't see far, her own strengths would be hard to display and would only drag down Zhang Yuanshan, so she forcibly endured the urge to share life and death.

  …………

  Tang Hongxiao and Xia Dandan's deaths also resonated in the hearts of Luo Shengyi and Yun Tianfeng. Since Tang Hongxiao died first, Yun Tianfeng was stunned for a moment, with emotions of regret, despair, pain, and shock burning like fire in his heart.

  Perceiving his abnormality, Luosheng Yi found an opportunity to struggle and support himself with the true energy inside, left fist blocked, right fist shook, and popped open Yunfeng's palm wrapped around his fist. Then he retreated and advanced, punching out a punch, extremely strong and fierce, using offense as defense, seeking a turning point.

  Yun Feng's mind was still uneasy, and he had also lost the opportunity to absorb internal energy, so he was forced back by Luo Shengyi's punch, his palms closed like a seal, defending with great difficulty.

  If there is still half a stick of incense time, he can gain an overwhelming advantage in internal power, making Luo Shengyi unable to resist and absorb.

  At this time, Xia Dandan's death also arrived, and Luo Shengyi's expression changed. He retreated and pulled out his distance, putting up a defensive stance - he had lost a lot of internal strength, and now he might not be Cloud Thunder's opponent.

  Yun Feng was about to attack again, but the death of Shadow Killer had been reported by the master of the Six Paths Reincarnation. He hesitated for a moment, looking into Luo Shengyi's eyes, and slowly retreated into the sandstorm, disappearing into the vast expanse of wind and sand.

  Misinformation kills people!
