"After death, you still won't let him rest in peace. You are truly inhumane!"
"Truly a member of the demonic path!"
Listening to the old man's introduction, Ye Cangtian's eyes blazed with boundless killing intent.
The tradition of respecting the dead and allowing them to be buried was deeply ingrained in Huaxia. The fact that the other party would do such a thing was truly infuriating.
"So be it, a member of the demonic path! There's nothing wrong with that!"
"You're not a three-year-old child. You should know that with strength comes right, and the power to control everything!"
"Therefore, in my eyes, there are only strong and weak, not good or evil. Your words are all superfluous to me!"
The old man, unfazed by Ye Cangtian's disdain, retorted.
Hmph!
Ye Cangtian snorted dismissively. "You can't even distinguish between basic good and evil. You are no longer worthy of being called human! Therefore, you will not leave here today!"
"Then let me see how much strength you possess!"
The old man sneered and waved his hand.
The next moment, two poisonous corpses instantly charged towards Ye Cangtian.
A hint of excitement flickered in the old man's eyes.
He believed that even a Heavenly rank expert would find it difficult to resist the poisonous miasma emanating from the corpses.
If Ye Cangtian could be killed, then the Five Poisons Sect would gain a Heavenly rank poisonous corpse. Who then would dare to underestimate the Five Poisons Sect?
Chii...
Just then, a sound echoed, and the Death Scythe sliced through the poisonous corpse's body.
Ye Cangtian's brow furrowed slightly. Although these poisonous corpses were once human bodies, their defense was surprisingly formidable.
If they were living humans, with the sharpness of the Death Scythe, a single strike would have split them in two.
Yet, this poisonous corpse only had its skin sliced open.
Furthermore, the poisonous corpse seemed impervious to pain. Even with injuries, its attacks were not affected.
Most critically, both poisonous corpses possessed considerable speed and attack power, reaching at least the strength of an eighth-heaven expert.
Sensing this, Ye Cangtian adjusted his strategy.
Since ordinary attacks were insufficient to slay the poisonous corpses, he had to resort to some more decisive moves.
The next moment, Ye Cangtian leaped into the air, his scythe descending like lightning.
Clang!
Seeing this, the poisonous corpse immediately raised its weapon to block. However, in an instant, the weapon was severed by Ye Cangtian's scythe, and its head was also cleanly cut off.
"Careful!"
Lan Yue cried out from not far away.
As Ye Cangtian was dispatching the first poisonous corpse, the other seized the opportunity and lunged forward.
Ye Cangtian, still in the midst of his attack, would find it difficult to defend, causing Lan Yue to break out in a cold sweat.
However, Ye Cangtian's face revealed a cold smile. His spiritual sense was extremely acute, and he had naturally detected this.
Moreover, he had made all the necessary preparations for such a move.
In the next instant, Ye Cangtian flicked his other hand, and a cold gleam shot out.
Clang!
Another clang resounded. The poisonous corpse blocked the dagger with its weapon.
However, the dagger's force was immense, sending the poisonous corpse flying backward.
Concurrently, Ye Cangtian retracted the Death Scythe. With a swift movement, before the poisonous corpse could even land, he appeared beside it.
Chii!
The Sky Splitting Slash descended once more, cleaving the poisonous corpse into two.
This...
The old man's eyes widened as he witnessed everything unfold.
The battle had barely begun, and yet it was over in the blink of an eye.
He could not accept this!
He knew that each poisonous corpse was painstakingly crafted by them, consuming countless poisons and immense effort, making them incredibly precious.
This time, if it weren't for the Three-Eyed Ice Toad, the Five Poisons Sect would never have allowed him to deploy the poisonous corpses.
Yet, both these poisonous corpses had been destroyed by Ye Cangtian. He had no way to account for this upon his return!
"No! This is impossible, this cannot be real..."
The old man's voice echoed, and the disciples following him trembled.
They had initially believed that with two poisonous corpses, they were invincible and could move unhindered within the ruins.
But who could have imagined that the poisonous corpses would be so vulnerable before a Heavenly rank expert, being dispatched in just a few exchanges?
Now that both poisonous corpses were gone, with only the old man remaining, how could they possibly resist Ye Cangtian?
"Old man, it's your turn next!"
At this moment, Ye Cangtian's Death Scythe moved, pointing directly at the old man, his eyes filled with killing intent.
Feeling Ye Cangtian's gaze, the old man shivered and swallowed. After a moment, he managed to calm himself.
He knew that he could not escape from a Heavenly rank expert, so he made no attempt to flee.
He glanced at Ye Cangtian and said with as much composure as he could muster, "Ye Cangtian, we admit defeat. The Three-Eyed Ice Toad is yours!"
Saying this, the old man turned, preparing to lead his disciples away.
Although the destruction of the poisonous corpses made his return difficult, it was far better than dying here.
Therefore, he could only swallow his pride and abandon his ambition for the Three-Eyed Ice Toad.
"Heh heh, old man, have you forgotten something?"
"I told you, you are not leaving today!"
"Similarly, no one by your side is leaving!"
Ye Cangtian chuckled as he watched the other party turn and prepare to slink away.
As his words fell, everyone present trembled. They quickly turned around, their gazes fixed nervously on Ye Cangtian.
After a moment, the old man spoke grimly, "Ye Cangtian, we no longer want the Three-Eyed Ice Toad. What more do you want! Don't you know it's best to leave a little room for future encounters?"
"I have always detested those of the demonic path. So, it's your fault for choosing the wrong path!"
"Besides, if you hadn't been able to defeat those two poisonous corpses, would you have let me go?"
Ye Cangtian sneered and continued, "So let's dispense with the pleasantries."
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian, carrying his Death Scythe, slowly approached them.
The old man swallowed again, visibly nervous.
After a moment of hesitation, he quickly said, "Wait, Ye Cangtian. If you let us go this time, we can do something for you. What do you say?"
"Including destroying the Five Poisons Sect?"
Ye Cangtian stopped his advance, asking with a smile.
"This..."
The old man was rendered speechless by the question. Not only did they lack the ability to destroy the Five Poisons Sect, but even if they had the capacity, they would never do so.
The Five Poisons Sect was a formidable and feared force. Without their backing, these individuals who had committed many misdeeds would become like rats scurrying across the street.
Heh heh.
Seeing the old man's expression, Ye Cangtian understood everything.
He smiled and said, "Since you refuse, then remain here!"
"Damn it! Since you insist on our deaths, then even in death, we will take a piece of you!"
"Brothers, let's fight them!"
"You go deal with the people inside the cave, I'll handle Ye Cangtian!"
Seeing Ye Cangtian's imposing presence as he advanced again, the old man knew that escape was impossible today. He let out a roar and charged towards Ye Cangtian first.
The Five Poisons Sect disciples around him, seeing the situation, were filled with despair.
They let out roars and charged towards Ye Cangtian's flanks, intending to bypass him and head straight into the cave.
"Nami!"
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian uttered a soft sound. Immediately, the Qiankun bag on his wrist flashed, and Nami appeared by his side.
The next moment, Nami did not hesitate. She waved her slender hands in front of her, instantly conjuring countless water arrows.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...
The water arrows shot out, and in an instant, the Five Poisons Sect disciples who had not yet reached the cave entrance blossomed with flowers of blood.
Ultimately, amidst the deluge of water arrows, they fell into a pool of blood.
On the other side, Ye Cangtian was not idle either. Facing the old man's frenzied assault, Ye Cangtian showed no mercy.
Within a few exchanges, Ye Cangtian severed the old man's arm.
But the old man was not deterred. Even without an arm, he still used his head to ram towards Ye Cangtian, intending to drag him down to hell together.
"It's all in vain, give up!"
Ye Cangtian sneered. As he dodged the ramming attack, he extended his large hand and grabbed the old man's neck from the front.
"Hahaha..."
Feeling the tightness around his neck, the old man suddenly burst into laughter. "Ye Cangtian, you are finished. Did you think that without arms, I posed no threat to you? You seem to have forgotten, I am from the Five Poisons Sect!"
