After purging the small Hair Gu in his body, Wang Chong felt as if his entire body had been refreshed, and the Stellar Energy circulated through his body much faster than before.

Bang!

Wang Chong pressed against the ground and shot into the air, instantly appearing at his master's side and placing a palm on his shoulder.

”Master, I've come to help you!”

Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Chong activated the Stone of Destiny's Purge ability, sending that invisible energy into his master's body. Bang! Less than a second later, the Hair Gu in the Demonic Emperor Old Man's body melted away like snow.

In flashes of light, Wang Chong shot over to the Wushang Village Chief and the Formation Elder, quickly purging their bodies of the Hair Gu as well.

”All that's left is the Gu in the air!”

Wang Chong slowly descended to the ground, his bright eyes searching the skies.

The Gu Poison King's Hair Gu could mix into the wind and become invisible. Only exterminating the Hair Gu in the body was treating the symptoms and not the disease. If he wanted to end the Gu Poison King's attack, he needed to purge all the Gu in the area.

Buzz!

Wang Chong slowly extended a palm into the air and activated the Stone of Destiny.

Comprehensive Purge!

An invisible pulse of energy radiated from Wang Chong's right palm.

Hwoooo! While nothing could be seen in the physical world, in the world of Psychic Energy, tens of thousands of Hair Gu were being exterminated, layer by layer.

This invisible pulse of energy obliterated every Hair Gu it encountered.

Once the Stone of Destiny had finished unleashing its Purge power, the area for dozens of li around Wang Chong had been cleared of Gu.

Even the black poison mist that was still hanging in the air had been cleared away.

”No, impossible! Impossible!” A shocked voice resounded through the air. Wang Chong's attack had been just as invisible as the Gu, but while others could not sense its power, how could the Gu Poison King not know what was going on?

He had never expected that these Gu he had raised using his own body and that had made him famous for several decades would be destroyed by a single youth.

”There's one last thing left.”

Wang Chong ignored that shocked voice as he closed his eyes.

After the previous battle, Wang Chong was now well aware that none of these five poison masters were as mystical as the legends made them out to be. They, too, were just ordinary people.

The Snake King had hidden his body amongst his snakes, cultivating a secret that allowed him to merge his aura with them to make him difficult to discover. The Black Poison King simply hid himself by flying high in the sky on a giant crow. As for the Seven Fiends King, he had hidden himself four to five hundred meters underground.

None of these people were at a level where they could control their creatures from several thousand li away. Their bodies needed to be near their poisonous pets, but because of their superb concealment techniques, they had managed to avoid detection.

No matter how mysterious and frightening the Gu Poison King was, he definitely shared the same flaw.

Wang Chong's boundless Psychic Energy spread outward, sweeping through every nook and cranny.

A moment later, Wang Chong opened his eyes with a smile on his lips.

”Found it!

”Gu Poison King, it's impolite to not reciprocate, so let me send you a gift!”

Wang Chong's eyes locked onto a withered tree several thousand feet away.

There was nothing too remarkable about this tree, even within the world of energy, but Wang Chong knew that this was where the Gu Poison King's weakness resided.

Swish! Wang Chong shot forward, leaving afterimages behind him, and he was soon in front of this withered tree.

”The danger is over. It's our turn to attack now.”

Smiling, Wang Chong grabbed a piece of bark and tore it off with a crack, revealing a massive blood cicada.

This cicada was about the size of a palm and its body was like a translucent jewel, its wings seeming to be made of gleaming crystal.

In every aspect, this did not seem like a product of the natural world.

This blood cicada had been hiding in this tree for some time, and now that it was exposed, it clearly began to panic. Yes, panic! If one didn't see it for themselves, it was difficult to believe that an insect could show emotions similar to a human.

Wang Chong's attack had clearly disrupted its plan. Its wings began to move and it soared into the air, but this was a futile gesture.
