”Senior Zhou, the situation isn't that serious yet. The Five Poisons Elder, the Snake King, and the Black Poison King might be formidable, but they're not invincible!” Wang Chong blurted out. He lowered his head, his eyes gleaming as his mind rapidly turned.
”Everything has a flaw. We can't kill off all the snakes and bees, but that's not even necessary. We just need to find their controllers. Once we find their real bodies and kill them, everything else will resolve on its own.”
”Haaa! How could it be that easy?”
The Formation Elder couldn't help but sigh at Wang Chong's words.
”Although it really is as you say, if the Five Poisons Elder and the others were really that easy to deal with, they would have been killed long ago. Your master probably understands this more than anyone else.”
The Demonic Emperor Old Man did not deny this. He remained vigilant of the situation around them, and with a flick of his finger, he sent several thousand bolts of energy hurtling through the air, cutting down yet another swath of crows.
But the Demonic Emperor Old Man did not appear at all relieved. Hissing and rustling, countless snakes converged from all sides, already only a few hundred feet from the group.
Hisss! At this distance, the snakes writhed and raised their heads, spitting out poisonous gas from their mouths. This increased the range of the poisonous mist and made it even more dangerous.
The group's hearts were heavy.
The Formation Elder frowned as he anxiously said, ”People have tried to kill them before, but all of them without exception ended up dying. No one has even seen the true bodies of these old monsters, only heard their names. To find their true bodies in such a short period of time is simply impossible!”
”That's not for certain!”
Wang Chong gave a subtle shake of his head.
As Wang Chong and the others were discussing how to deal with the Five Poisons Elder's group, another development took place outside the Stellar Energy barrier.
The lifeless crows scattered across the ground suddenly began to tremble, and then with a shake of their wings, they shot back into the air.
In the blink of an eye, these slain crows had risen back up, some of them turning their sharps eyes on the Demonic Emperor Old Man's barrier and shrieking toward it like arrows.
Thudthudthud!
The crows thudding against the Stellar Energy barrier sounded like they were made out of steel, but the Demonic Emperor Old Man's Stellar Energy was not so easy to break. The crows broke themselves against the fortress of Stellar Energy, even breaking their necks.
But these crows were completely unaffected. Even though their heads had been twisted to face their backs, their wings were still flapping.
Even the Demonic Emperor couldn't help but grimace at this sight. Behind him, the Formation Elder shot to his feet in alarm while the Wushang Village Chief made an unsightly face.
”What's going on here?”
Shock appeared in Wang Chong's eyes. He had never encountered such a thing before, something that exceeded all bounds of imagination.
The rules of life and death were absolute!
Anything dead was dead. There was no way to revive them. Not even Wang Chong, someone who had lived, died, and been reborn, had ever encountered such a situation.
The oddities of the martial arts world had already completely exceeded his imagination, leaving him flabbergasted with disbelief!
”It's the Gu1 Poison King! The Gu Poison King! I didn't think that even he would show up!”
The Formation Elder nastily grimaced.
The appearance of the Five Poisons Elder had only made him somewhat uneasy, as this individual only countered his formations, but the Gu Poison King was an entirely different matter.
”Gu Poison King, you actually dare to oppose this old man!”
A furious bellow erupted from the Demonic Emperor Old Man's mouth. Before anyone could react, a vast and boundless storm of energy erupted from his body and swept over the world.
The last hint of geniality vanished from the Demonic Emperor Old Man's body.
The name of this legendary existence of the martial arts world, 'Demonic Emperor Zhang Wenfu', still held great power in this realm. True, the Demonic Emperor Old Man had changed much in the last two years.
But the challenge from the Five Poisons Elder's group had stimulated that ironfisted and domineering energy that was latent within his body.
The energy erupting from the Demonic Emperor Old Man's body twisted the space around him and seemed to set it ablaze.
”Master!”
Wang Chong was alarmed by the tyrannical energy coming from his master. This was the first time he had ever seen him so enraged.
After a long while, a raspy and ethereal voice began to speak, constantly drifting here and there. ”Hahaha, Demonic Emperor, you rule your evil path and I will rule the Miao2. We've always been like the well and the river, our waters never mixing. This was the case even at the peak of your rule. But if you want something to blame, blame the allure of the Origin Immortal Art. Although we old scoundrels made our name with our poison arts, we also want to become the world's number one. No one can resist this sort of temptation, right?
”And besides, every dog has its day. You've ruled the martial arts world for so many years, it's about time we got a chance to sit on your throne!”
