Chapter 999: Eliminating Two Gu’s in a Row
“Bastards!”
“Yanlang! What the hell are you three doing?”
Seeing Wind Chime leave, Xian Er and Tao Hong cursed Yanlang and the others furiously, angry that even together they hadn’t been able to stop Happy from approaching.
Yanlang and the others also looked displeased.
“His weapon is strange!”
“He could even wound Blood Hell Sword with a single strike. I use boxing—fighting head-on with him will only end in worse consequences…” Jin Luosha explained reluctantly, intimidated by the two women’s status in the organization.
“All excuses! I think you’ve been too idle and have forgotten to use your brains… Now that Wind Chime’s gone, the five of us have exposed our identities. When we get back, the boss will definitely scold us for failing in our duties! Then we’ll see how you explain this!” Xian Er snarled, venting her frustration while fighting back Happy’s fierce attacks alongside Tao Hong.
Yanlang and the others were angry but dared not speak.
Happy, on the other hand, was speechless.
“Daring to talk while facing me…”
Mingbo Microstep!
…
Although the two women’s sword control skills were sharp, agile, and astonishingly fast, their offensive power wasn’t very strong. In direct confrontations, they had no advantage at all. Lacking the strength to support their attacks, they couldn’t withstand the pressure from Xuan Tie Heavy Sword’s 100-point strength.
Every direct clash easily sent their long swords flying. After two such encounters, they were forced to switch to a fighting style that allowed them to search for opportunities.
Seizing the chance, Happy abandoned the two women and swept with Xuan Tie Heavy Sword repeatedly. Like a tornado, he broke through the encirclement of the five and rushed into the Poisonous Array!
“Seeking death!”
Yanlang and the others’ eyes lit up—more surprised than alarmed.
Happy’s intrusion into the Poisonous Array was the best news for them! Inside the array, there were countless poisons; a single mistake could lead to poisoning and a significant drop in strength. Moreover, there were two other advantages—the array hid twelve powerful witchcraft beasts! Once surrounded, Happy would be like filling in a bun, unable to escape.
Another advantage was Xian Er and Tao Hong’s sword control skills!
The combined power of their dual swords could only be fully unleashed when they were safe, delivering astonishing attack speeds that left enemies overwhelmed.
It seemed Xian Er and Tao Hong were about to have their fun…
All they had to do was control their dual swords from a safe distance to kill Happy—trapping him would be a piece of cake.
“Hurry!”
“Don’t let him escape!”
“The wind chimes are gone. Even if it can kill Happy just once, it will at least help restore some reputation for our Wild Wolf Organization!” The two women were also delighted and swiftly rushed to the edge of the Poisonous Array, their swords slicing through the air as they dived into the array. Their attacks were in perfect sync, launched simultaneously! One from the left, one from the right, their swords intertwined and swirling to form layers of sword nets that descended upon Happy. It was extremely difficult for ordinary people to discern the actual location of the long swords. Even top experts found it incredibly hard to focus and pinpoint the true position of the swords while inside the Poisonous Array! At the same time, Ao Cangsheng and a group of Witchcraft Sect disciples also noticed Happy’s intrusion into the Poisonous Array. Without hesitation, the group moved forward! At the front line of the Poisonous Array, more than a dozen terrifyinggu worms insects withdrew simultaneously and surrounded Happy from various directions! “…” Ao Cangsheng’s eyes gleamed with malicious satisfaction. In his view, Happy, who had accidentally entered the Poisonous Array, was already a dead man! With the help of the five top experts from the Wild Wolf Organization, the twelve Witchcraft Sect disciples, and the Poisonous Array itself, it would be absurd if they still couldn’t defeat such a mere Happy! Yet! After entering the Poisonous Array, Happy did something utterly unexpected! He swung his sword at Huashan!! It was a very ordinary move… but under the weight of the black iron sword, it became anything but ordinary. The heavy sword blade roared like thunder as it slashed through the air, creating a deep trench over ten meters wide under everyone’s gaze! The solid ground was instantly carved into a clear groove! Along its path, countless poisons were crushed to powder by the fierce sword light. However… these sacrificed poisons were a drop in the ocean compared to the Poisonous Array’s overall strength! Seeing that Happy was quickly surrounded after that single strike and on the verge of being trapped, the ground where his sword had struck suddenly developed a network of crack-like patterns resembling spider webs. No one noticed any of this… because at that moment, there was only Happy inside the Poisonous Array! Moreover, an area of dozens of meters was covered densely with poisons, making it impossible to detect such changes with the naked eye… No one noticed this change, nor did they see the faint smile appear on Happy’s lips after his sword strike. It wasn’t until thegu worms insects of the twelve Witchcraft Sect disciples approached, and the two long swords controlled by Xian Er and Tao Hong arrived like swift birds weaving through layers of sword nets, that… Boom! Happy gently stomped on the ground. Hidden energy surged forth! Boom!!! In an instant, the ground around Happy began to rise!
One by one, the stone slabs flipped up without any warning!
Whoosh…
Starting from the nearest slabs, and then those surrounding the Poisonous Array filled with toxins—snakes, insects, rats, and ants were all sent flying by the sudden surge of dark energy!
In an instant, Xian Er, Tao Hong, Ao Cangsheng, and the others’ views were obscured by countless stone slabs and toxins.
The sharp Jinghong Long Sword managed to crush many toxins and stone slabs along the way, but its power was greatly diminished!
At this moment, the twelve Gu worms lost track of their target, staring blankly at the chaotic mess of flying stones and toxic debris, some already trapped inside with crackling noises all over their bodies.
“…”
Although Yan Lang and the others didn’t understand Happy’s intentions, they clearly sensed that things were going wrong.
Their ability to sense direction through sound was useless in the noisy and chaotic environment of the Poisonous Array!
In such situations, they could only rely on their eyes.
But Happy’s move had completely deprived them of any idea of where he was.
“Force him to show himself!”
Xian Er and Tao Hong reacted fastest, shouting urgently, “Quick! We can’t see him, and it’s hard for him to assess the situation either!”
The twelve Gu cult disciples gave orders to their respective worms.
A bright red line shot through the broken stones and toxic debris like lightning, heading straight for Happy’s location.
Blood Cicadas!!
At this point, the smaller toxins could approach Happy more easily and launch attacks on him.
Unfortunately…
They clearly underestimated the power of the Spiritual Awareness from the “Yijin Jing.”
Even without the ability to sense direction through sound or discern changes in the complex environment through sight, Spiritual Awareness allowed one to oversee everything from above.
Otherwise, Happy wouldn’t have put himself in such uncertain danger!
Blood Cicadas!
Spotting the trace of that bright red light approaching rapidly, Happy mercilessly swung his sword!
The giant black dragon let out a deep roar, diving down to strike precisely at that red light!
Boom!!!!
The Blood Cicada, which had flashed in like lightning, seemed to be swallowed by a dark beam. Its light dimmed, followed by a loud explosion—as the small creature was violently thrown into the ground.
…
On the steps of the Five Poisons Sect, the Gu cult disciple whose mind was connected to the Blood Cicada heard what sounded like thunder in the chaos. Suddenly, he felt severe pain in his heart, his face turning pale as if struck by lightning. He staggered back two steps, vomiting blood, and collapsed from exhaustion.
“Xiao Yun!”
Ao Cangsheng’s expression changed instantly as he realized that the life-sharing mechanism had been triggered due to severe injuries to his sect’s coregu worms worm.
“Not good!”
“Quick! Send your Blood Cicada back!”
The deeper the injuries Xiao Yun suffered, the more dangerous Blood Cicada’s situation must be!
All the Wugu Sect disciples were shocked.
“Lian Cheng! Get ready to rescue him!”
Ao Cangsheng almost shouted.
Without hesitation, someone nearby controlled a dark, bulky worm to move forward slightly. Thick black mist sprayed from its indistinct mouthparts. Wherever the mist passed, among the corpses, some still struggling or severely injured poisons seemed to be revived, suddenly regaining their mobility as if rejuvenated.
Clearly, this mist had a tremendous boosting effect on poisons—not only healing wounds but also making them more vigorous than before. The mist spread in the direction where Kai Xin was…
It was a rescue attempt for Blood Cicada, who was in danger with an uncertain fate!
At that moment!
A arrogant laugh suddenly came from the opposite side:
“Master Ao! I’ve taken these two coregu worms worms of your Wugu Sect! Hahaha!”
Before Ao Cangsheng could react, Xiao Yun, who was beside him, pale and spitting blood, thrashed violently in the arms of two Wugu Sect disciples. His body stiffened, his eyes rolled back…
“Master!!”
“Brother Xiao…” The Wugu Sect disciples realized Xiao Yun’s pulse had stopped. Trembling, they stammered and called out to Ao Cangsheng.
Before they could finish speaking, a black dragon suddenly lunged out from the chaos! It attacked the bulky worm that kept spewing black mist with fierce claws.
“Don’t think you can get away!”
Lian Cheng had been closely monitoring Xiao Yun’s condition. Seeing him convulse and die, he immediately knew his own worm would be the next target. Without hesitation, he ordered the little one to protect itself.
With a call from the dark, bulky worm, poisons from all directions rushed recklessly toward Kai Xin. At the same time, the worm curled up and rolled like a ball toward the Wugu Sect’s main gate.
“Haha… Still trying to run?”
Kai Xin laughed loudly, completely unfazed by the poisons charging from all sides. With a sweep of his black iron sword, a powerful sword beam instantly crushed countless snakes and insects.
At the same time!
A dark energy burst from the ground and surged into the worm’s body.
Pfft!
The worm let out a mournful cry before coming to a halt.
At the entrance of the Five Poisons Sect, Lian Chengkou stared in shock and fury at Xian Kai, who had broken through the swarm of poisonous insects to attack his own life-gu worm. His eyes were almost bulging as he let out a hysterical roar: “How dare you!”
Although the other sect disciples tried their best to direct their own life-gu worms to rescue him, Xian Kai ignored them completely. He flew over the bulky worm, his dark iron sword slicing through the air as it split the worm in two from bottom to top.
