Four figures approached, three women and one man.
Seeing this lineup, Du Xin’s face broke into a smile.
It wasn't that he looked down on women, but in the ruins, there were simply too few female powerhouses.
Furthermore, the three women before him were younger than one another, and their cultivation levels were questionable. They might as well have participated in a beauty contest.
This led him to harbor ulterior motives; if he could capture the three women, they might serve as a useful means to threaten the Reaper.
However, when he surveyed the scene before him, he froze completely, cold sweat pouring down his forehead like a river.
The opposing four had charged into the Five Poisons Sect’s squad of over a hundred people.
In mere moments, piercing screams erupted from the crowd of over a hundred, figures were flung through the air, collapsing onto the ground.
Yet, the four opponents remained completely unharmed.
Most critically, the three women he had initially underestimated were all Quasi-Heavenly rank powerhouses, with one among them at the Sixth Heaven stage. This was beyond his ability to contend with.
In addition, there was another point that made his teeth ache with resentment.
These individuals were completely immune to the Five Poisons Sect’s poisonous creatures.
Without the advantage of poisonous creatures, the combat strength of the Five Poisons Sect was reduced by at least half.
Bang, bang, bang…
The sound of bodies hitting the ground continued. Yao Bao'er, from initial nervousness, became increasingly courageous as the battle progressed.
She hadn’t expected her body to be so agile and her strength so formidable.
Most importantly, the movements of her opponents were incredibly slow, allowing her to clearly perceive them and counter with ease.
This was not only due to the enhancement of her cultivation but also the corresponding increase in her spiritual power from practicing mental force combat techniques, which yielded such results.
Bang!
With another impact, the last Five Poisons Sect disciple fell. Yao Bao'er returned to Ye Cangtian with a beaming smile.
Past battles had always been arduous for her, as her combat power was insufficient, and she often sustained injuries, easily being overwhelmed.
But this battle today allowed her to discover the thrill of combat; it turned out she could be this powerful.
“Boss, see? I’m really amazing! If you bully me again in the future, be careful, I’ll fight back!”
Seeing the smile on Yao Bao’er’s face, Ye Cangtian chuckled helplessly. It had indeed taken a great deal of rare heavenly treasures to bring Yao Bao’er to this point.
Thinking this, he smiled and said, “Since you’re so powerful now, you’ll be a combatant from now on.”
“No, no, no, Boss, I was wrong!”
Upon hearing this, Yao Bao’er waved her hands repeatedly. She didn't particularly enjoy fighting and killing, so she immediately backed down.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian let out a soft snort and no longer paid her any mind.
His gaze shifted to Du Xin, whose face was devoid of hope. He smiled and said, “Du Xin, you’re the only one left. Are you planning to struggle a bit, or are you going to end it yourself?”
Ye Cangtian’s voice reached him. Du Xin gritted his teeth, glanced over, and then slowly drew his weapon.
In the current situation, it was clearly impossible to expect the other party to spare him. His only option was to fight to the death.
Heh heh.
Observing the opponent’s action, Ye Cangtian wore a smile of helplessness, “You’re truly not very intelligent.”
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian slowly stood up and walked towards the opponent step by step.
“Kill!”
The next moment, Du Xin’s roar erupted, and he launched the first attack.
However, his seemingly ferocious assault was like child’s play before Ye Cangtian, easily dismantled.
Not only that, but he also took a punch from Ye Cangtian and was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.
This one punch rendered him without the strength to stand again.
Ye Cangtian showed no mercy. The punch not only shattered Du Xin’s meridians but also crushed his heart.
Having dealt with Du Xin, Ye Cangtian’s gaze fell upon Zuo Bai, and he said, “Zuo Bai, I’ll leave the two barracks of the Five Poisons Village to you…”
Ye Cangtian made a brief deployment and then led Xue Qi and the three women towards the Five Poisons Village.
…
Boom, boom, boom…
A patch of white like a fish’s belly appeared in the east. As dawn broke, rumbling sounds, like thunder, exploded in the air.
“Who’s there! What’s going on!”
Inside the inner hall of the Five Poisons Hall, the Sect Master was jolted awake by the rumbling sound and roared in anger.
He could distinguish that it wasn't thunder. Such a massive commotion that disturbed his beautiful dreams truly ignited his fury.
He wanted to see what had happened!
“Bad news, bad news!”
The next moment, the sound of hurried footsteps approached, and then a panicked Five Poisons Sect disciple arrived in the inner hall.
He came directly before the Sect Master, “Sect Master, bad news! Both barracks in the village have simultaneously sent out multiple distress signals…”
What!
Upon hearing this, the Sect Master immediately perked up, his eyes widening.
The simultaneous issuance of multiple distress signals proved that the situation was exceptionally urgent.
But the Five Poisons Sect had occupied this village for many years, and it had always been peaceful. What significant event could have occurred?
Could it be that the people from Imperial Dragon Villa had attacked?
But they were only a dozen or so people; how could they simultaneously deal with two barracks?
Although he found it somewhat unbelievable, the Sect Master reacted immediately. Regardless, both barracks were under attack, and reinforcements were necessary.
“Order everyone to support the two barracks at all costs!”
“In addition, gather everyone above Elder rank in the main hall to await my command!”
The Sect Master issued his orders at once and then proceeded to the main hall. He intended to personally lead the charge to annihilate the enemy and see who they were!
Report!
Just as the Sect Master and the assembled elders arrived at the main hall, a notification sound came again.
“Sect Master, bad news! There are powerhouses guarding the entrance to the Five Poisons Hall. Those we sent out to support have all been intercepted…”
This…
As the voice faded, the faces of several elders in the Five Poisons Sect headquarters visibly paled with anxiety.
Both barracks were in critical condition. If reinforcements could not be sent in time, and if these two barracks were annihilated, the Five Poisons Sect’s strength would plummet.
One must realize that this was the Five Poisons Sect’s headquarters; it could be said that all the young talents from every hall were gathered here!
Therefore, the Five Poisons Sect could not afford such a blow.
And now, not only had the enemy attacked the two barracks, but they had also blockaded the Five Poisons Hall. This was something that ordinary individuals could not achieve!
With this thought, all the elders’ gazes unified, looking at the Sect Master, hoping to see if he had any good solutions.
Sensing their gazes, the Sect Master looked at the guard and asked, “How many people are at the Five Poisons Hall? What are their strengths? Do you know who their leader is?”
“F-f-f-four people, three women and one man. Their strength is incredibly formidable. As for who they are, this subordinate does not know…” the guard replied hastily.
Four people?
Four people could block the Five Poisons Hall?
The Sect Master and all the elders were stunned upon hearing this, and their expressions immediately turned grim.
With merely four people, and three of them women, the people of the Five Poisons Hall were unable to break through. If this news spread, how would the Five Poisons Hall maintain its prestige?
How would the Five Poisons Hall be able to intimidate other forces in the future?
The elders were filled with righteous indignation, practically itching to volunteer to deal with the enemy.
On the other side, the Sect Master’s eyes darted around.
Earlier, Du Chuan had sent a message saying that when the Reaper came, he was accompanied by three women, and Du Xin had later confirmed this.
It seemed now that those blocking the entrance were likely the Reaper and his companions.
Thinking this, the Sect Master’s rage surged, and he said coldly, “Damn it, I underestimated you. I didn’t expect you would actually dare to attack!”
Huh?
At this sudden remark, all the elders looked bewildered, their gazes converging.
Seeing this, the Sect Master said coldly, “Those blocking the entrance to the Five Poisons Hall are likely the Reaper from Imperial Dragon Villa. Esteemed Elders, who among you dares to go and face them?”
This…
At this question, the hall fell silent. The fervent expressions of the elders immediately deflated, and they lost their spirit.
If it were anyone else, they would certainly not hesitate, but the opponent was a Heavenly rank powerhouse.
If they went, their chances of survival would be slim. Who was willing to die?
One had to know that a Heavenly rank powerhouse possessed the ability to snatch the enemy general’s head from amidst a million troops.
“A bunch of good-for-nothings! The Five Poisons Sect has truly raised you in vain!”
Seeing this situation, the Sect Master’s face darkened.
He roared in anger, then pondered for a moment before saying, “Fifth Elder, Elder Du Xue, you two will take people and go take a look…”
