Chapter 540: Chapter 538 Purple Gu Poison
Ding!
In his imagination, the delightful sound of the dagger piercing flesh didn’t ring out. Instead, Viper saw the dagger break into two parts and fly high into the air.
His two fingers were actually grabbed by Qin Hao’s hand.
Crack!
The sound of breaking echoed, and the two fingers directly broke!
"Ah!"
Viper screamed in pain as he retreated swiftly, taking a deep breath after leaving Qin Hao’s attack range, forcibly enduring the pain as he roared, "So you were on guard against me all along!"
Earlier, Qin Hao clearly had his back to him. Before the dagger even reached him, the opponent acted as if he had eyes on his back, directly smashing the dagger.
At this point, there was no way he couldn’t tell that Qin Hao was being cautious of him.
Qin Hao dug at his ear: "Honestly, I wasn’t."
"Even now, you’re still lying. If you weren’t prepared, how could you have thwarted my sneak attack!"
Viper was extremely unwilling, spitting in anger as he shouted.
Qin Hao: "I heard the sound of wind blowing against my back and just swatted casually. Who knew you were so weak?"
"You!"
Viper didn’t expect Qin Hao to still act so arrogant at this time, rendered speechless by anger.
"Despicable, the captain saved you so many times, yet you repay kindness with enmity, Viper, I truly look down on you!"
Little Wolf’s face was full of anger, wishing he could kill Viper on the spot.
Scholar shook his head in disdain: "An ingrate. Truly shameful to associate with."
Fox directly gave the middle finger: "Disgusting man!"
Gu Qinyue was more direct, stepping forward with a face full of anger, she unleashed a palm in the air, forming a palm seal out of thin air.
Daring to attack my brother, such a scoundrel must die!
Viper was taken aback, swiftly dodging to the right, barely avoiding Gu Qinyue’s palm.
Boom!
Crack... Crack!
The palm seal struck a tree trunk as thick as two people, directly breaking it into two pieces.
"Damn vile woman, how dare you strike to kill!"
Viper’s face was full of fear, not expecting the seemingly fragile Gu Qinyue to possess such terrifying power!
Gu Qinyue’s face was cold: "Dare to attack my brother, you must die!"
This little girl is so protective...
Qin Hao was very touched, he walked over and ruffled Gu Qinyue’s forehead, smiling gently: "Silly girl, this kind of fool isn’t worth you taking action. Let me handle it myself."
Saying this, his figure flashed, appearing before Viper’s eyes.
"What!"
Viper gasped, opening his mouth wide in astonishment, unable to react in time, but feeling a pain in his chest.
In a daze, he lowered his head and saw Qin Hao’s finger sword embedded in his chest.
Life quickly slipped away, blood oozed from Viper’s mouth as he stammered: "You..."
He couldn’t finish his sentence, only uttering a word before falling backward onto the ground, completely dead!
Casually dealing with the traitor, Qin Hao wiped his fingers clean on Viper’s clothes, looking helplessly at Liu Canghai, "Old man, do you really want to force me into a massacre? Frankly, your disciples and students aren’t even worth my time. Why can’t you be sensible and just leave?"
"Such an arrogant kid, even if you have some skills, you shouldn’t underestimate any Ancient Martial Sect!"
Liu Canghai’s face wasn’t pleasant, Qin Hao’s earlier display of power was very strong, but not enough to make him retreat.
"Tai Chi Array!"
With Liu Canghai’s explosive shout, the people of the Tai Chi Sect moved their feet, quickly forming an array that surrounded Qin Hao and his party.
From above, one could see that the array formed by the Tai Chi Sect was indeed a Tai Chi diagram.
Attack and defense in balance, impeccable!
Killing intent loomed, the aura enveloped them, Qin Hao let out a slight "hmm" and assumed a stance of preparing for battle.
His heart gradually grew heavy.
The Tai Chi Sect people seemed ordinary in power, not really a threat in regular combat.
But he hadn’t anticipated them forming an array.
"Activate the array!"
Another command fell, and the people of the Tai Chi Sect operated the array; suddenly, countless bursts of inner strength surged towards Qin Hao and the others from all directions.
"Prepare to face the enemy!"
At this point, Qin Hao had no way to devise a strategy, merely barking the order in haste as inner strength erupted from his body.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!
Countless explosions formed beside him, and Qin Hao felt his body roiling with the impact, feeling deeply uncomfortable.
If even Qin Hao felt so discomforted, needless to say, his team felt worse.
After a round of assault, everyone’s hair and clothes were disheveled, resembling beggars who had roamed for days.
Moreover, their faces were pale, and their life force severely depleted.
The attack from the Tai Chi Array in just the first round had Qin Hao and the others on the brink of collapse, a scene more perilous than any previous crisis!
"Damn it, are we really about to crash here today?"
Qin Hao’s heart was full of frustration; in truth, this Tai Chi Array couldn’t defeat him. If he wanted to, he could escape with brute force.
But since becoming captain, he had developed feelings for this bunch of averagely skilled, adorably foolish teammates.
Besides, not to mention the team members, Qinyue’s sister was still here.
So, even if he could escape alone, he couldn’t bring himself to do such a thing.
After all, he was not a despicable person like Viper.
Just as Qin Hao felt helpless, an incident occurred.
Swish!
The distant altar array suddenly activated, countless lights shot up, and it seemed as if the air was half drained.
Within the array, a mysterious figure moved swiftly, every step landing in a safe spot, navigating the murderous array as if strolling on flat ground.
"Not good, he’s going to seize the chest!"
Even though Liu Canghai wanted to kill Qin Hao and the others, securing the chest was the priority of this mission!
"Go inside and stop him now!"
Liu Canghai threw caution to the wind, charging into the array with all his might.
Yet, just two steps in, a burst of flame approached, forcing him to retreat.
The flames landed on the ground, surprisingly not extinguishing, but rather burning fiercely.
"Evil Fire!"
Liu Canghai’s face grew grave; this Killing Array could actually produce Evil Fire, beyond what a normal person could pass through.
At the same time, he felt extremely vexed; why could that figure in black run within the Killing Array for so long without encountering any attacks?
"Uncle, what should we do now?"
Watching the chest about to be seized by the figure in black, Liu Ji also grew anxious.
Liu Canghai looked at the figure in black, then at Qin Hao, gritting his teeth, "It’s too late to seize that chest now, you all operate the array to kill Qin Hao first!"
"Alright!"
With a crazed look, Liu Ji stared at Qin Hao and shouted, "Kill!"
Just as he said the word "kill," the figure in black finally broke through the Killing Array and reached the altar’s top.
He stretched out his calloused hand, pressing it firmly against the chest.
With a "crack" sound, the chest was opened by the figure in black.
The next moment, purple smoke enveloped the chest, and the figure in black trembled, uttering a hoarse roar, "It’s Purple Gu Poison, Grand Elder, you are ruthless!"
As his words fell, he was completely shrouded in purple mist.
"Purple Gu Poison!"
Liu Canghai jerked in shock; even if he didn’t know what this thing was, hearing the words Gu Poison made him feel ill at ease.
