This…
Seeing the scene before him, Du Gui’s face turned grim.
He had clearly seen Ye Cangtian making contact with his four disciples, but the problem was that the opponent showed no signs of poisoning so far.
Could the opponent truly possess the legendary Ten Thousand Poisons Physique?
It shouldn’t be wrong, after all, these poisons were enhanced by the Deadly Poison Array. Their potency was such that even Heavenly-level experts wouldn’t dare to touch them lightly!
With this thought, Du Gui’s gaze fell upon Ye Cangtian, and he spoke, “Death God, you indeed possess the Ten Thousand Poisons Physique. If that’s the case, how about I make a deal with you?”
“Hmm? What deal?” Ye Cangtian asked, looking at him with confusion.
Seeing this, Du Gui said, “It’s very simple. Join our Five Poisons Sect, and we will do our utmost to cultivate you. Perhaps in the future, you can break free from the shackles of the Heavenly level and become a legendary existence!”
“…”
On the other side, hearing Du Gui’s words, Lei Ming’s expression immediately changed.
If Death God were to truly join the Five Poisons Sect, would the Five Poisons Sect still support him?
In his opinion, the Five Poisons Sect would most likely support Death God, as Death God would then be one of their own.
If that were to happen, wouldn’t he become a pawn? How could he then secure his position as the Estate Master?
However, before he could say anything, Ye Cangtian’s voice cut through.
“Du Gui, the same thing has been said to me by others from the Five Poisons Sect.”
“But none of these hold any allure for me!”
“The reason is simple: even without the cultivation of the Five Poisons Sect, breaking free from the Heavenly level’s restraints will not be a difficult task for me!”
Ye Cangtian’s gaze was sharp and filled with confidence.
His current cultivation had already reached the late Heavenly stage, and he was not far from the peak.
And he was still very young, possessing enough confidence to break free from the Heavenly level’s restraints within his lifetime!
“Kid, having aspirations is a good thing!”
“But do you think the restraints of the Heavenly level are that easy to break?”
“If it were that simple, then those powerhouses wouldn’t have become legends! So, I advise you to consider it carefully!”
Du Gui glanced at him and said faintly.
The opponent was indeed very young, and his cultivation could be considered outstanding among the younger generation.
He believed that within the opponent’s lifetime, reaching the Heavenly peak should not be a problem.
But for the barrier of the Heavenly peak, among countless heroes throughout history, how many could truly break through?
“Heh, stop wasting your breath. I will not join an evil force like yours!”
Ye Cangtian sneered coldly, speaking with disdain.
Hearing this, Lei Ming’s complexion improved considerably. As long as Death God did not join the Five Poisons Sect, no one could shake his position as Estate Master.
“Alas, what a pity, truly a pity!”
Du Gui glanced at Ye Cangtian and shook his head helplessly. If the opponent were willing to join the Five Poisons Sect, the Five Poisons Sect would certainly be on par with other peak forces.
Perhaps in the near future, they could trample all the so-called peak forces under their feet.
But the opponent was too stubborn, and there was nothing he could do but resort to killing him.
As he spoke, Du Gui took out a coffin from his Qiankun bag. The coffin was entirely crafted from black jade, and it was inscribed with strange runes.
As the coffin appeared in the hall, a malevolent aura wafted out, accompanied by a sense of oppressive dread that arose in everyone’s hearts.
“Death God, you are truly lucky, and also truly unfortunate!”
“Lucky, because you were born with the Five Poisons Physique, reaching such cultivation at such a young age.”
“Unfortunate, because before you stands the treasure of our Five Poisons Sect, the Poison Corpse King!”
Sensing everyone’s tense expressions, Du Gui looked at Ye Cangtian and began to introduce it calmly.
As his voice fell, the coffin trembled, and a piercing scraping sound emerged.
The next moment, a withered arm stretched out from the coffin, and finally, the entire body appeared in everyone’s sight.
The Poison Corpse King exuded a pungent odor all over, and there was no trace of spiritual energy fluctuation on its body.
From its appearance, it was just a corpse with scarlet eyes and skin stretched taut over bones.
“The Five Poisons Sect’s creation of such malevolent things truly shows a disregard for humanity!”
“Today, I shall act on behalf of heaven and eliminate you!”
*Clang!*
As the icy voice resounded, the Death Scythe had already appeared in Ye Cangtian’s hand.
*Roar!*
As if sensing Ye Cangtian’s hostility, the Poison Corpse King let out a furious roar and lunged towards Ye Cangtian.
In an instant, it was already beside Ye Cangtian.
Hmm?
Ye Cangtian frowned. Its speed was comparable to an expert at the eighth or ninth heaven of the quasi-Heaven level, and its attack power was also quite formidable.
Sensing this, Ye Cangtian did not hesitate and directly swung the Death Scythe in his hand.
*Clang! Clang! Clang…*
As the two clashed, the sound of metal striking metal echoed.
Seeing the Death Scythe leave shallow wounds on the Poison Corpse King, Du Gui’s eyes widened.
The Poison Corpse King was refined using an ancient secret method, possessing an iron-like body that was virtually impervious to any weapon!
Yet, the opponent’s Death Scythe had managed to do so.
Not only did it leave wounds on the Poison Corpse King, but these wounds were also slowly festering, indicating severe corrosion.
If this situation were allowed to continue, the Poison Corpse King would likely be crippled!
But if the Poison Corpse King couldn’t even deal with Death God, then for him to step forward again would only have a minuscule effect.
With this thought, Du Gui could not help but become anxious. If the Poison Corpse King were destroyed, he would have no way to explain himself to the headquarters!
On the other side, Ye Cangtian, who was still fighting, was also somewhat surprised.
The defensive power of this Poison Corpse King was too astonishing!
It could block the Death Scythe with its body alone!
It was important to note that his previous attacks, if they had landed on a normal person, would have likely resulted in instant death.
Ye Cangtian also realized that ordinary moves might not be enough to deal with this opponent. To defeat it, he would likely have to use a powerful killing move.
With that thought, Ye Cangtian pushed the Poison Corpse King back, creating some distance.
“Not good!”
Seeing Ye Cangtian create distance, Du Gui’s heart tightened. He quickly used a secret method to command the Poison Corpse King to attack with full force, preventing the opponent from unleashing a killing move.
But he had still underestimated Ye Cangtian.
The Death Scythe, enveloped in spiritual energy, instantly expanded several times its original size, reaching over ten meters in length, which was a terrifying sight.
And before the Poison Corpse King could even reach Ye Cangtian, the enormous Death Scythe had already swung down.
“No!”
In that instant, Du Gui cried out in his heart.
Although the Poison Corpse King was powerful, its most fatal flaw was its inability to use killing moves, relying solely on its poison-enhanced body for combat.
And Du Gui had already witnessed the sharpness of the Death Scythe earlier.
Therefore, seeing Ye Cangtian’s killing move descend, Du Gui’s mind was already picturing the Poison Corpse King being cleaved in two.
If this were to happen, the Five Poisons Sect would suffer a significant loss.
*Ding!*
A soft sound echoed, and Du Gui was instantly stunned. He couldn’t help but rub his eyes, as if seeing something incredible.
Indeed, the scene of the Poison Corpse King being split in two, which he had imagined, did not materialize.
When the Death Scythe came into contact with the Poison Corpse King, it caused no damage whatsoever.
However, in the mere time it took to rub his eyes, the Death Scythe swung down again. When Du Gui looked at the Poison Corpse King once more, it had already been sliced in half by Ye Cangtian.
The Poison Corpse King’s defensive power was too astonishing. To kill it in one blow, Ye Cangtian had directly used the Yin-Yang Sky-Breaking Slash!
“This…”
At such a sight, Du Gui was instantly dumbfounded, while Lei Ming on the other side was drenched in cold sweat.
The explosive attack power of that final strike was far beyond what either of them could reach.
Because of this, both of them began to worry about their own safety.
