”It's the Gu Poison King!”
Within his stone formation, the Formation Elder was just beginning to rejoice once he saw the bees beginning to scatter, believing that they had gotten through this trial. But upon hearing the voice, he shivered all over and knew that the Gu Poison King, the most dangerous of them all, had still not been removed.
Buzz!
At the same time, Wang Chong, the Demonic Emperor Old Man, and the Wushang Village Chief all turned solemn and began to warily observe their surroundings.
”Seal off your pores and watch your surroundings!”
The Demonic Emperor Old Man's voice resounded in the ears of Wang Chong and the Wushang Village Chief. His eyes moved as swiftly as lightning bolts as they observed the area.
Although they had killed three of the old poison masters, the Demonic Emperor Old Man was not one bit relaxed. On the contrary, he had become even more serious. The Wushang Village Chief and Wang Chong did not belong to the martial arts world and had little awareness of what went on within it, but the Demonic Emperor Old Man and Formation Elder knew.
Their sudden and fierce attack had killed three of the five while another one had fled, but the survivor was more frightening than the other four added together.
Strictly speaking, the Gu Poison King was not considered a martial artist.
This was because to martial artists, anyone who primarily attacked with other methods besides Stellar Energy were not martial artists. This category of people was known as 'unorthodox warriors', and the Gu Poison King from the Miao territory fell under this category.
His attacks were far too bizarre and apparently invisible. It was said that he used flying Gu that were difficult to detect with the naked eye.
It was rumored that they could slowly infiltrate the Stellar Energy of a martial artist until they bored into the body.
As this sort of attacking style was too bizarre, frightening, and unpredictable, even when the Demonic Emperor dominated the evil path, he rarely entered the Miao territory.
Naturally, he had little conflict with this Gu Poison King.
Moreover, the Gu Poison King had never appeared in places outside the Miao territory, remaining an unfathomable existence, so the two had never really fought before.
But the appearance of the Origin Immortal Art and the temptation of being the world's number one had broken this calm. For the first time, these two titans would battle.
”Zhang Wenfu, I gave you five minutes to think and hand over the treasure left by the Origin Immortal Lord, but you used this chance to kill the Seven Fiends King and the others! As they say, if this can be tolerated, what cannot be tolerated? You've gone on long enough with your bullying ways! Don't blame me for using my Gu!”
The cold and furious voice continued to resound in their ears, tinged with an extreme danger.
”Brother Wenfu, Brother Fang, get in! Watch out for the Gu Poison King's flying Gu!” the Formation Elder anxiously called out from the ground.
The Gu Poison King was a character that not even he dared to provoke.
Those invisible attacks of his were far too terrifying. Formations could only be used for defense, not offense, and each attack method was different and needed a plan to deal with. Brute force alone would not do.
”Brother Fang, Chong-er, hurry and go back!”
The Demonic Emperor Old Man slowly landed, his sleeves drifting in the air. His eyes continued to warily scan his surroundings. Wang Chong and the Wushang Village Chief had no experience in dealing with such attacks. If he was by himself, he was at least confident enough to protect himself.
”Master, be careful!”
Wang Chong had never seen his master so serious before, and from this, he understood just how formidable this Gu Poison King was. Wang Chong did not dare to be careless, and immediately rushed toward the Formation Elder along with the Wushang Village Chief.
Whoosh!
As the two retreated, a gust suddenly blew out from the southeast.
The wind blew past the Demonic Emperor Old Man, Wang Chong, the Wushang Village Chief, and the stone formation set up by the Formation Elder. Thump! With a groan, the Formation Elder suddenly clenched his teeth and fell over like a wooden beam.
”Not good!”
A split-second later, the Wushang Village Chief grimaced as he dropped down from the sky and staggered on the ground.
”Wang Chong, watch out!”
By the time his feet hit the ground, his face had already started to turn purple. The Wushang Village Chief immediately sat down and began to circulate Stellar Energy. It seemed like countless insects were crawling under his skin, causing it to bulge and writhe.
”Gu poison!”
Wang Chong realized in alarm what that evil wind had been.
There was no question that the Gu Poison King had mixed his Gu poison into that evil wind.
He knew of the Wushang Village Chief's strength. This person was only second in strength to his master, yet he had so quickly fallen victim to this attack.
But as these thoughts ran through his mind, Wang Chong suddenly staggered, his vision turning dark as his Stellar Energy stopped circulating, causing him to drop from the sky.
Not only that, even though Wang Chong had clearly sealed off all his pores, once he scanned his body with Psychic Energy, he could see numerous unimaginably small creatures infiltrating his body through his pores.
