CHAPTER 763: CHAPTER 763 MARTIAL FORCE NEEDS PEOPLE

Several dazzling silver-white beams enveloped Wang Kai’s head, and at the same time, a few black "things" fell from the woman’s hands, which were blocked by the Moonlight Formation.

The Worms, struck by the powerful energy of the Moon Barrier Array, quickly perished, exploding into black-green blood. Although the Worms were full of deadly poison, their vitality was not very resilient, and they died within moments.

The woman’s expression slightly changed, and Wang Kai took the opportunity to dodge the woman’s counterattack, retreating several steps back to prepare for another defense. At this moment, the woman’s attention turned to Ji Qian beside her, and it was said that wars between women were even more "intense," especially between two peerless beauties. Their eyes met, sparking controversy...

"Unexpectedly, there’s another woman by his side." A hint of surprise flickered in the woman’s eyes, seemingly unexpected by Ji Qian’s appearance. In fact, although Ji Qian was in the Moon God Temple, she was well aware of every move around Ye Shikai.

"Hand him over, and we’ll leave immediately," Ji Qian said coldly. After a prior testing of their strengths, the tension had intensified considerably, and a fierce battle seemed imminent with Nightmare, Soul Destroyer, Ghost, and Demoness ready to fight as soon as the two Main Gods made a move...

"Ha ha, little girl, I advise you better stay away from him. Your destiny with him has already been determined; leaving him will be better for both of you." The woman did not feel threatened but instead laughed. However, calling her "little girl" seemed somewhat inappropriate—could this woman really be the Elder Lady...

"It’s none of your business what happens between him and me," Ji Qian stated coldly.

"Alright then, aren’t you here to seize him? Go ahead and make your move." The woman glanced over everyone, three parts disdain in her eyes.

Arrogant, truly arrogant.

Wang Kai was the first to strike, unleashing a fierce offensive. The woman parried calmly without ever drawing a weapon from beginning to end, which was quite worrisome as one wondered if she had other moves yet to show.

"Take action!" Ghost shouted, and the four generals of the Netherworld Palace instantly attacked, surging forward and surrounding the woman in the middle. Nightmare on the left with dual halberds, and Soul Destroyer on the right with a longsword, momentarily pushing back the woman. It wasn’t surprising; after all, it’s hard for one to fight against many, and the woman, alone against six, hardly had a chance to strike back.

"You are no match for us, hand over the Boss," Ghost threatened with a longsword. The woman, like a ball of cotton, used softness to overcome strength. Although she didn’t counterattack, their offensive was entirely dismantled. Despite being tactically and situationally superior, they caused no damage.

"Really? Look at your palms and then talk to me." At that moment, the woman suddenly laughed, unafraid on her face. Ghost and the others slowly lifted their hands, their originally blood-colored skin now subtly spotted with black, and the veins beneath turned dark as well.

Wang Kai, Nightmare, and others also raised their hands, each poisoned as well. Only Ji Qian, who was farther away, remained unpoisoned. Soon, the black spots in everyone’s hands slowly expanded, a sign of the spreading poison.

"How does this Five Poison Powder feel?" The woman asked lightly with a smile.

"Demons... Damn..." Wang Kai cursed, vilifying the sinister tactic which irritated him, who was always forthright. Although the toxicity of the Five Poison Powder was not strong, once infected, one’s whole body would become debilitated, and the toxicity was extremely difficult to eliminate unless a specific antidote was used.

"Quick, take the Shennong Pill," Ghost immediately said. After everyone took it, the toxins on their hands were suppressed, but not removed, and due to the lingering toxins, their bodies were extremely weak, and they were unable to fully exert their Inner Strength.

"Damned poison woman," Nightmare was also infuriated, unafraid of direct assault but not expecting the woman to use such a poisonous tactic. Who could accept being undermined like this?

"The toxins can’t be forced out of the body, damn it," Wang Kai cursed, his hands already trembling slightly—it had been less than five minutes into the fight.

"Back off," a cold voice sounded at this time, and Ji Qian appeared from behind, positioning the Moonlight Formation in front of everyone.

"Little girl, your turn now?"

"Hmph," Ji Qian snorted coldly, circulating her Inner Strength and preparing to strike.

"Hold on, stop!" At this moment, shouting from the entrance of the Worm Sect was heard. Ye Shikai, gasping for breath, ran from afar and stopped between the two groups.

"Puff... puff..." Out of Inner Strength, Ye Shikai had sprinted five kilometers and hence was a bit late.

"Boss."

"My Lord."

"Stop right there," Ye Shikai shouted loudly, glanced at the woman, then turned to look at everyone else.

"Are you alright?" Ji Qian rushed over and hugged Ye Shikai tightly.

"Cough cough, I’m fine, don’t worry," Ye Shikai nodded. It appeared he was a step too late; a skirmish had already happened between the two sides, and the woman looked cool and unharmed, seemingly unfazed by the outcome.

"Boss, come over, let’s kill this demoness right now," Soul Destroyer shouted loudly. Ye Shikai glanced at the woman, and indeed, the originally indifferent face now seemed a bit colder.

"Everyone, rest assured, I’m fine here," Ye Shikai called out loudly, clarifying the misunderstanding was now most crucial.

"She is the Sect Leader of the Worm Sect, I came here for treatment," Ye Shikai continued. The purpose of his visit was known to Soul Destroyer, but when he lost contact with Ye Shikai, he subconsciously thought that the Worm Sect had abducted Ye Shikai, which led him to call for reinforcements.

"What, really for treatment?" Ji Qian showed a shocked expression, truly not expecting this.

"Yes, but it kept very confidential, it’s my fault for not contacting you on time," Ye Shikai calmly said, and then turned, bowing deeply to the woman, "I’m truly sorry, this misunderstanding was caused by me."

"Humph, at least you take some responsibility. I thought you didn’t dare to come."

"Right, these are all my friends. The earlier misunderstanding was an accident. Please, Sect Leader, provide the antidote." The sharp-eyed Ye Shikai noticed signs of poisoning in everyone, suspecting they had been poisoned by the woman during the confrontation. Ye Shikai was not surprised; he had also carelessly been poisoned before.

"Humph, since you are sincere, here, take this." The woman directly threw over a medicine box containing several pills. Relieved, Ye Shikai quickly had everyone take the antidote and detoxify.

"Let’s leave," Ji Qian said indifferently at this time, perhaps due to the poor impression the woman left her. Even if the misunderstanding was cleared, the tension between the two women didn’t seem to subside.
