CHAPTER 136: CHAPTER 136: COORDINATING IN SECRET

Gong Yu still wanted to say something when a wave of dizziness surged, "Oh no, I’ve been hit too!"

"Retreat quickly!"

Ge Changzhuang felt a chill down his spine, he jumped away at the fastest speed, watching the two people closest to him fight like madmen.

He knew both of them, they had a good relationship and were quite strong. But now, they were fighting to the death with fists and weapons clashing desperately.

From what he saw, the bulkier man on the left was kicked down by the shorter, thinner opponent, who then punched him in the face, the sound of bones breaking was clear.

But quickly, the bulkier man slashed the other man’s throat with a blade, pressing on the bleeding wound as he fell.

At the same time, Ge Changzhuang’s vision blurred, feeling a cold evil qi rushing to his forehead.

His expression became stern, he attached a defense talisman to himself, hurriedly sat down crossing his legs, activating the spirit blood within and using his spiritual sense to block and try to expel what was invading his body.

Not far away, Yun Conghui quickly did the same; they both had spirit blood protection, and Thunder Spirit Blood had a restraining effect on such things, allowing them to resist without being easily confused in their minds.

However, Gong Yu lacked such protection, performing the worst among them. Before he could get away, he fell into an illusion, though he tried hard to control himself, he still killed some who came near him in self-defense.

"What kind of thing is this, even the Village Chief has fallen victim!"

"Don’t come close, it seems to be poison!"

Subsequent arrivals were frightened by the chaotic and bizarre scene, not daring to approach, they could only watch hundreds of people killing each other.

"It works even on Foundation Establishment level, maybe it’s a matter of concentration status."

Shen Wang sensed these results, pondering.

When Gong Yu and others arrived, the outside environment still hid numerous Gu poisons on people’s clothes and bodies.

Some died, and these Gu immediately switched hosts, continuing to infect the living nearby.

Such fierce Gu left Shen Wang feeling a shiver of fear.

He thought back to how he managed to escape the influence of Black Poison and ran away from the Black Death Blade King, feeling sheer luck.

Did the Black Death Blade King use too little poison, allowing him to escape?

How could the Black Death Blade King give him a full bottle of Black Poison but not use it to control him directly back then?

Thinking about it, Shen Wang suddenly sensed something amiss, but at the moment, he couldn’t figure out why the Black Death Blade King didn’t do so.

No time to think further, with three experts outside having fallen victim, it was his chance.

He ended the sensing divine techniques, leaping up, in an instant arriving outside the ancestral home.

Within the array, he threw hidden weapons at some hallucinating people who were removing their helmets and armor.

Thud thud thud!

Leaves imbued with power pierced their targets like blades, and in a flash, eight more fell.

To a master of hidden weapons, even flying flowers and picking leaves could be lethal.

Plus, leaves are convenient; infused with primordial power, they could handle ordinary bandits.

Using the Celestial Maiden Scattering Flowers technique, he flung a bunch of fallen leaves, killing many in one breath.

He grabbed another handful of leaves, and several more fell to the ground, people watching from afar could only watch in worry, not daring to help.

"Shen Wang, you dare use poison, be careful we might use it on you too!"

Having cleared some Gu poison, Ge Changzhuang, seeing Shen Wang’s rampant killing, angrily spoke up.

"If you could use it, would you not?"

Shen Wang mocked, his array encompassing three attributes: Shield Earth Array to block underground soil, Weak Water Array to control and isolate subterranean water, Golden Light Array being impenetrable.

This combination could counter most poison intrusions; Ge Changzhuang’s poison stood no chance against the array and couldn’t do anything to him.

Ge Changzhuang could only grit his teeth in frustration, remaining silent.

After all, it wasn’t his men dying, just some bandits, he could just have Gong Yu recruit more.

"Shen Wang, this is typical Demonic Dao Gu poison, banned by the Sun and Moon Dynasty, if you don’t stop, I’ll report you to the Demon Suppression Department of the court!"

Yun Conghui opened his eyes, using the Sun and Moon Dynasty to pressure Shen Wang.

Due to Demonic Cultivators often engaging in destructive practices like blood sacrifices, the Sun and Moon Dynasty openly banned Demonic Cultivators, collaborating with major sects to resist Demonic Dao.

What Shen Wang exhibited was reason enough for the Sun and Moon Dynasty to take action.

"Sorry, it’s something I picked up, feel free to report it."

Shen Wang wasn’t intimidated; if the Sun and Moon Dynasty could truly suppress demons, then the Black Death Blade King wouldn’t have risen, and those from Jade Silkworm Valley would have been killed.

He wasn’t affected by Yun Conghui’s threats, he continuously flung leaves, taking several more lives in a few words, rivaling his half-month’s work.

Hidden in the distant crowd, Li Yuanning fixated on the still poisoned, struggling Gong Yu, a slight smile playing at his lips.

Under his control, the Gu insects of the dead nearby began zeroing in on Gong Yu, not sparing Ge Changzhuang and Yun Conghui either.

Perceiving the change, Shen Wang glanced over, Li Yuanning’s face impassive, merely blinking.

Shen Wang looked away, acknowledging Li Yuanning’s covert methods.

He too wanted to deal with Ge Changzhuang and the other two, but with Profound Thunder Zhenren present, he dared not act.

Li Yuanning controlling the Gu poison to focus on Ge Changzhuang matched his interests.

"That guy is actually helping me..."

Shen Wang was somewhat surprised, yet his actions were ruthless.

Those who abandoned their armor were swiftly killed by him in mass, over a hundred in total.

The remaining ones had some strength, either struggling to control themselves or had resources such as talismans for protection, or even magic artifacts guarding them, or simply focused on defense without attacking others.

Shen Wang began using iron nails; even though flying flowers and picking leaves could kill, better weapons naturally held more power.

He drove a nail into the head of an Innate Grandmaster, watching the black Gu poison become blood-red as its vitality and resistance increased.

The tiny black Gu poison turned crimson, seemingly much more resistant, gathering toward Ge Changzhuang and the other two.

After dealing with several only leaves couldn’t kill, he summoned the Red Flame Sword, targeting a Fifth Grade Grandmaster protected by talismans.

Clang!

A flash of red light, the protective shield formed by the talisman shattered, and the sword qi slashed across the neck, sending a fine head flying.

Talismans could block hidden weapons but not flying swords.

Shen Wang commanded the Red Flame Sword, his fingers flicking, the sword light swiftly and nimbly slicing through the poisoned bandits, taking down those with defensive means.

Even with magic artifacts for defense, Shen Wang, possessing Foundation Establishment Cultivation, exerted the Red Flame Sword’s power greatly, needing just a few more thrusts to break through.

Shen Wang’s sword control technique was top-notch, the flying sword moving at will; although attacking one by one, the killing pace wasn’t slow.

In a short while, the remaining mid-to-high level master-level bandits, including the three leaders, were all slain by the flying sword.

Having easily slain them, Shen Wang coldly looked towards Gong Yu, the Red Flame Sword’s ring reverberating, flung out a trail, heading towards this Grandmaster.

Boom!

A muffled thunder rumbled in the sky, and then Shen Wang’s Red Flame Sword was struck by lightning, crashing to the ground directly.
