Chapter 998: The Five Poisons’ Fierce Counterattack
Kai Xin had already experienced the constraints of the Fiery Wolf once!
The three from the Fiery Wolf clan reappeared in the Central Plains, accompanied by the two women they had met at the Five Poisons Sect’s headquarters—this made Kai Xin extremely cautious!
Yet those women immediately displayed superb sword control skills, wielding their long swords solely through willpower and inner energy. Naturally, Kai Xin became even more alert and would not fall for their tricks again and be controlled by the Fiery Wolf clan—their sword attacks were astonishingly fast, and combined with the Fiery Wolf clan’s peculiar control abilities, they could instantly deal severe damage to any top expert.
So, the moment black flames suddenly appeared on the Fiery Wolf clan members, Kai Xin’s rapid momentum came to a sudden halt!
Although the Speed of the Water Waves technique wasn’t the fastest among various elite light-footwork skills…
it was undoubtedly the most mysterious and intricate!
Incorporating countless variations in movement, with just a thought, not only did Kai Xin’s forward momentum vanish, but he also reversed at a speed beyond ordinary comprehension, widening the distance between him and the Fiery Wolf clan.
This action drove the Fiery Wolf clan, who were ready to attack Kai Xin, to the brink of frustration!
As Kai Xin neared their attack range and his moves were already in motion…
the opponent suddenly retreated at an even faster speed!
Their full-force attacks struck empty air. The Fiery Wolf clan members’ faces turned red, their blood surging violently—some nearly vomited blood from the pain.
Xian Er and Tao Hong frowned deeply.
Boom! Boom!!
The attacks from Blood Hell Sword and Golden Raksha also missed their targets, causing their expressions to change.
At the same time, two snow-white sword beams sliced through space, instantly piercing through Kai Xin’s remaining afterimages and chasing after him!
Sword control relied entirely on mental command, allowing for complete changes at any moment. Among the five wild wolf experts, only Xian Er and Tao Hong could barely keep up with the rhythm of the Speed of the Water Waves technique, rushing toward Kai Xin with unstoppable force.
“Get lost!!”
Clang!!!!
A heavy black iron sword swept through the air.
Space trembled!
The two snow-white sword beams let out a mournful cry as they were sent flying far away.
Puf! Puf!
Xian Er and Tao Hong’s inner energy had been attached to their swords, and the rebounding force slammed back into their bodies. Both women spat blood simultaneously, their faces turning red as they staggered back several steps before managing to retrieve their weapons.
The Fiery Wolf clan was shocked!
Xian Er and Tao Hong were stronger than the three of them within the organization—yet they were severely injured by Kai Xin just from a single encounter.
Feng Ling wasn’t idle either.
After successfully attracting the attention of the five top experts from the Wild Wolves with her bold move, Wind Chime promptly changed the tune of her instrument. The sound blades surrounding her transformed into thousands of them, sweeping toward Xian Er and Tao Hong, who had just suffered a significant setback!
Seize the opportunity while they’re weak!
Wind Chime had timed her attack perfectly!
Unfortunately, her opponents were all at the highest level. Though the sound blades were deadly and numerous, their speed was far from impressive.
As the sound blades sliced through the air, the three members of the Flame Wolves team stepped in…
Arrows like a forest!
Fist winds raging!
The continuous wave of sound blades was instantly intercepted and destroyed by the three.
Unfortunately…
Wind Chime sighed inwardly.
That had actually been a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If the more than twenty guards surrounding them had seized the chance to attack first, they might have disrupted the Wild Wolves’ rhythm and broken their coordination!
Unfortunately…
These top experts didn’t dare to act against the Wild Wolves. They could only rely on defensive formations to withstand them!
Moreover, Bai Xiaosheng had given them the task to protect, not to kill the Wild Wolves’ experts! It was understandable that they didn’t intervene.
Unfortunately…
Such a good opportunity would be hard to come by again.
After suffering losses, Xian Er and Tao Hong retracted their weapons and quickly swallowed pills, waiting for reinforcements!
Buzz!!!
“Sss…”
All sorts of poisonous creatures—snakes, insects, scorpions, centipedes—suddenly poured out from the Five Poisons Sect’s branch.
With Wind Chime, the Demon of the Zither, under control, the Wild Wolves’ members appeared openly. Ao Cangsheng realized it was useless to deny everything now, so he decided to go all in, pouring all his strength into this battle.
Ao Cangsheng knew he still had a chance to turn danger into opportunity!
If he could capture Wind Chime, the Wild Wolves would lose a key figure, making it easy for them to invade the Central Plains!
Once the Central Plains fell under the control of the Wild Wolves and the First-Class Hall, even with countless enemies, the Five Poisons Sect could survive; even if the First-Class Hall offended all the heroes in the world, it would still have the leverage to dominate most of the resources in the Central Plains!
So!
Seeing the Wild Wolves’ members taking action, Ao Cangsheng without hesitation activated the twelve followers of the Witchcraft Sect and ordered his subordinates to release all the remaining powerful poisons.
The Great Poison Formation surged forward!
The twelve Witchcraft Sect followers acted at the same time!
“Be careful!”
“The Witchcraft Sect followers of the Five Poisons Sect!”
From the appearance of the five great Wild Wolf experts to being driven back by Happy in the blink of an eye, many people didn’t even have time to react! It wasn’t until the members of the Five Poisons Sect’s branch rushed out and over a dozen terrifying venomous snakes and flying centipedes plunged into the crowd, mercilessly claiming lives, that it finally ignited the fury of countless martial artists.
“The Five Poisons Sect is indeed colluding with the Wild Wolves!”
“Bastards…”
“Kill them!!” “Kill these traitorous lackeys!” Chaos reigned as more people confronted the Five Poisons Sect disciples and the myriad poisons.
In an instant, the entire area of the Five Poisons Sect’s branch became a scene of utter chaos!
Thousands of people fought together, with even more ready to join the battle!
“A bunch of useless fools!”
“Seeking death!”
Twelve cultists of the Witchcraft Sect stood side by side on the steps of the gate, commanding their respective magical creatures from above. Though their creatures weren’t as monstrous as the Six-Winged Golden Winged Gu Mother, each one had a distinct function and posed a significant threat.
There was a flying centipede with wings, about two feet long, its body covered in a bright red shell resembling a gorgeous ruby. It flew through the air, continuously releasing red venom to conceal its movements. Every time it darted out from the red mist, it was swift as lightning; its ferocious mouthparts and thorny antennae were terrifying, leaving behind cries of terror and death with each attack.
There was also a two-headed venomous snake. It looked ordinary among the eerie snakes, but when it raised its head, both heads could shoot out ink-black venom that sprayed far and wide. Those touched by the venom were doomed—no internal strength could resist it… Even weapons and equipment affected by even a small amount would suffer severe corrosion, reducing durability or even causing them to lose their original properties. If it touched the skin, it would feel like being set on fire, causing unbearable pain as the flesh rotted away in large areas!
The other deadly magical creatures were similar, but the strength of two of them alerted Happy! One of them was the Blood Cicada! When released, it was about the size of a fist, giving off a highly dangerous aura. However, the Blood Cicada rarely attacked directly; instead, it carefully searched behind for dead venomous insects to devour. With each insect eaten, its luster grew stronger and its body shrank. Eventually, it became like an unremarkable little insect—a bright red dot that moved at incredible speed through the swarm.
Several of Wind Chime’s guards were accidentally attacked by the Blood Cicadas. By the time they emerged, all the essence of their blood had been devoured! If not for Happy staying by to hold back Yan Lang and the others, Wind Chime’s side would likely have been successfully attacked by Xian Er, Tao Hong, and the rest! However, due to the full force of the Five Poisons Sect, Wind Chime’s side was under great pressure. She wanted to help everyone eliminate the Massive Poison Array summoned by the Five Poisons Sect, but at the same time had to constantly be on guard against sudden attacks using sword control techniques to protect herself, and also assist her guards in fighting against the five experts from the Wild Wolf Organization—making it extremely difficult for her to do much. As the Massive Poison Array of the Five Poisons Sect continued to advance, the powerful puppets of the Twelve Witchcraft Disciples moved like vanguard troops through the crowd, easily taking lives, almost forming a siege. Finally, Happy couldn’t hold back and shouted, “Wind Chime!” “I’ll cover the retreat! You take your people and leave right now!!” “Okay.” Wind Chime hadn’t expected Yan Lang and the others to stay in the Central Plains and had severely underestimated the counterattack capability of the Wild Wolf Organization allied with the Five Poisons Sect. Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, she had already planned to evacuate first, and upon hearing this, she nodded without hesitation. Clang!! The melody of the zither changed. The fierce zither sounds instantly turned into thousands of blade-like sounds that swarmed toward Yan Lang and the others! “Go!” At Wind Chime’s command, the dozen or so guards around her rushed forward without hesitation to clear a path. The group quickly left the area of the Five Poisons Sect’s branch. “Want to leave?” Xian Er and Tao Hong’s main goal in appearing this time was to keep Wind Chime behind, so naturally they wouldn’t let her escape unscathed. Whoosh!! Two flying swords were shot out, aiming straight at Wind Chime. With the use of sword control techniques, along with a deep, ear-splitting growl, a giant black dragon rushed through the air! “Stop him!” Xian Er and Tao Hong quickly ordered. Yan Lang and the other two snorted coldly and rushed at Happy from different directions. “Get lost!!!” Stepping forward with the Lingbo Microstep, she swung her black iron sword through the air! Bang!! The Blood Hell Sword slashed fiercely at the black iron sword from above! With a loud crash, the former quickly showed a look of shock! His body trembled as an unstoppable force rushed into his body along with the black iron sword. A master at the Wuwei Realm, even when going all out with preparation, was sent flying by a master at the Jie Duo Realm head-on! His tiger’s mouth split!!! “Pfft!!” Violent force rushed into his body, followed by overwhelming dark energy. With both external and internal injuries, a mouthful of blood sprayed into the air. The eyes of the Blood Hell Sword were filled with disbelief and horror!
The Golden Rakshasa, who was ready to come to help, though reckless, saw the dire state of the Blood Hell Blade and immediately activated his protective barriers, shifting from an offensive stance to defensive blocking. The Flaming Wolf was also startled and stepped back. From the outside, it seemed that the three great experts of the Wild Wolves were injured by one sweeping strike from Happy, forced back by another, and driven away by a third. Xian Er and Tao Hong both frowned in anger and had to quickly use their long swords to provide support! This created an opportunity for Wind Bell to leave; Happy watched her swiftly distance herself from the chaos before turning his cold gaze toward Ao Cangsheng and the twelve witchcraft disciples across the Poisonous Array! With Wind Bell gone, he no longer had any worries behind him!!
