Chapter 742: Methodical Approach

A foul, stinking wind gathered above the swarm of poisonous creatures, forming a visible black cloud that rushed toward the Mu Family’s estate like an army of locusts.
The usually calm disciples of the Mu Family couldn’t help but gasp at this sight—arrows were now completely useless.
There were too many poisonous creatures! Arrows couldn’t possibly cause them significant damage.
“Let me handle it!”
Feng Ling narrowed her eyes and prepared to rush forward with her zither, but was stopped by Yin Fox:
“No need. It’s just a small trick—no need for such a fuss.”
Yin Fox’s eyes showed a hint of shock and reflection before he smiled and said, “I expected the First-Class Hall to take action against our Mu Family. Poisonous insects—sure enough, they’re being used too.”
Immediately, he gave a loud order:
“Spray realgar!”
In front of the formation, a group of people simultaneously threw large amounts of yellow powder into the air, which quickly spread across the open area ahead…
The swarm indeed became chaotic…
The poisonous snakes in the group refused to move, no matter what the poison exorcists ordered. Even the poisonous creatures behind them were affected—once they entered the realgar-covered area, they staggered around, unable to move forward much.
“What’s going on!!!”
Xue Yi watched from outside as the poisonous swarm poured into the Mu Family’s estate but failed to advance, his expression turning pale. He grabbed a poison exorcist and asked, “Realgar powder can at most drive away poisonous snakes—why aren’t the other poisons moving either?!”
The latter replied anxiously and worriedly, “Boss Xue, I don’t know either! Maybe there’s something else mixed in the realgar!”
“What?”
“Yes, there are some substances on the market that have insect-repelling effects. It’s not surprising if the Mu Family has them…” the poison exorcist answered.
“Damn it!”
Xue Yi angrily released the man’s clothes.
He had originally planned to use the poisonous swarm to overwhelm and disrupt the Mu Family’s elite fighters at lightning speed, forcing the world to recognize the First-Class Hall’s strength again. But the Mu Family reacted faster than expected, completely ruining his plan.
Before he could come up with another plan…
New activity arose inside the Mu Family’s estate!
As a large blaze crashed into the swarm, it instantly erupted into chaos!
The sudden barrage of rockets threw the entire swarm into disarray, with shrill, urgent cries echoing everywhere. The black poisonous creatures rushed around in panic, avoiding the realgar-covered areas and heading toward the First-Class Hall’s main formation and Lingxiao Palace. The poison exorcists scrambled frantically to pull the creatures back.

Watching as Yipin Hall’s bizarre tactics were effortlessly dismantled by the Mu Family…
Qin Qing of Lingxiao Palace turned to the middle-aged man beside her with a gentle expression and said, “The outer walls over there will collapse soon. Once that happens, launch a full-scale attack and take them all at once!”
The middle-aged man’s brows twitched briefly before returning to normal.
“I said from the start that it’s our duty to assist Palace Master Qin this time. With the Life and Death Dream Pill, we’ll naturally do our utmost. Just give orders when the time comes.”
“I wouldn’t dare accept orders from you. You’re the deputy leader of Longmen, the largest gang in the Americas. We’re merely in a partnership. But destroying the Mu Family will definitely help Longmen in developing professional players in the future.”
Qin Qing seemed to already envision the decline of the Mu Family after this battle, a faint smile playing on her lips.
…
On the roof,
Wind Chime and the others saw the poisonous creatures either dying or retreating, and a huge crisis was resolved in the blink of an eye. They all breathed a deep sigh of relief—after all, no one wanted to fight these things up close.
“By the way, Big Brother Silver Fox, how could that realgar stop all those poisons?”
On the roof, many still had doubts:
They knew a bit about poisons. Realgar could detoxify and drive away snakes, but only to a limited extent—its power wasn’t that great.
Hearing this, Silver Fox didn’t hide anything. “Kai Xin once asked me to prepare some realgar mixed with insect powder, along with other herbs that could cause confusion and madness in poisonous creatures. I had it tested, and it was indeed effective. This time, Kai Xin warned me that Yipin Hall might use poison, so I prepared a batch in advance. I didn’t expect it to come in handy after all.”
“…”
The group exchanged glances.
They never expected this method to have been discovered and created by Kai Xin.
They naturally didn’t know that Kai Xin had drawn on some experiences from his past life and was well aware of Yipin Hall’s tactics and surprise-winning strategies, predicting that they would do such a thing.
At that moment, Xiao Bei, who had remained silent until now, proudly took out a small bamboo tube from his Qiankun Bag and said with a sly smile, “Boss Kai Xin actually told me too that if there were advanced poisons immune to realgar powder, I should use this…”
“What is this?”
“The Golden Thread Snake King. Its strength is comparable to that of a cultivator at the Wuwei realm—hard to defend against. Even Kai Xin almost fell to it back then.” Xiao Bei held the bamboo tube carefully, a cold glint in his eyes.

“The last time we were attacked, I didn’t expect them to be so strong. Moreover, when they got close, I had no chance to retrieve the bamboo tube, which allowed them to succeed. This time, if those men in black dare to show up again, I, Xiao Bei, will definitely make them understand the power of the Golden Thread Snake King!”
“……”
The group gasped in shock.
They had never heard of the Golden Thread Snake King before.
But something that could almost knock Happy down must be extraordinary.
Just then,
a series of loud booms rang out!
The group’s expressions changed as they turned to look—another section of the outer wall below collapsed…
The giant warriors were finally all killed!
Nearly two-thirds of the entire wall was destroyed, revealing everything inside the Mu Family’s estate. The Mu Family’s disciples could sense that the dark crowd across from them was stirring and making final preparations.
A great battle was inevitable!
……
“Charge!”
After seeing the entire wall collapse, the man in blood-red clothes stopped advancing methodically. After observing for a while and waiting for the messenger from the Lingxiao Palace to return, he ordered a full-scale assault without hesitation!
Bang!!
Beautiful fireworks burst suddenly in the sky.
Boom!!! All around the Mu Family’s estate, the disciples of the First Rank Hall and the Lingxiao Palace, like tigers freed from chains, swung their weapons, activated their defensive abilities, and surged toward the estate like a tide.
“Kill!!!”
Instead of advancing steadily with archers opening the way…
they went straight in for hand-to-hand combat!
The most direct and brutal battle!
Qin Qing watched coldly as the massive crowd rushed to the outskirts of the Mu Family’s estate, along with those over twenty black figures quickly mixing in among them. At that moment, her heart burned, and the earth trembled!
The glory of the Mu Family would end here!
Yangzhou!!!
……
A deep earthquake rumbled!
Feeling the increasing pressure from all directions and the deadly aura of enemies far outnumbering theirs, the Mu Family’s experts also unconsciously broke into cold sweat.
They were waiting…
Waiting!!!
“Clang!”
Suddenly, amidst the shouts of thousands of soldiers, a series of passionate and fierce musical notes rang out, causing the air to vibrate violently—countless giant sound blades swept past the heads of the Mu Family’s experts, wildly targeting the crowd rushing toward the wall.
The attacks from the First Rank Hall and the Lingxiao Palace slowed slightly!
Boom!!!
The Mu Family’s experts, as if receiving a battle order, surged forward with fierce determination. Their eyes turned red as they charged at the enemies crashing in like waves.
