Dada dada...
A series of footsteps echoed, and the main hall of the Five Poisons Sect immediately fell silent, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
The dozen or so elders in the hall were all sweating profusely.
Although they had chosen to face Death, the opponent was still a Heaven-grade expert, so they were all extremely tense.
As everyone tensed, figures one after another appeared within their sight.
The man at the head of the group looked very young, with a hint of kingly aura in his brows. The remaining three women were all exceptionally beautiful and alluring.
From the main seat, the Sect Master stared intently at the man, his eyes filled with killing intent.
"Death, I didn't expect you to actually come to the Five Poisons Hall with just over a dozen people. It seems you truly don't take the Five Poisons Hall seriously!"
The Sect Master's voice reached them, and Ye Cangtian paused slightly, a faint smile appearing on his face.
He looked at the other party and said with a smile, "You don't actually think I only brought over a dozen people, do you? Or do you think that Imperial Dragon Villa can only bring out a dozen Earth-grade experts?"
Having successfully infiltrated the Five Poisons Sect and achieved some results, Ye Cangtian no longer saw any reason to hide anything.
"What do you mean? You didn't come with just over a dozen people?" The Sect Master's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, and he asked with confusion.
"Of course."
Ye Cangtian glanced at the other party and continued, "The dozen or so people you know about were merely a means for me to cover my tracks. In reality, I've brought an enhanced company."
An enhanced company?
What the hell is going on!
The Sect Master's face turned extremely grim, and he roared with anger in his heart.
An enhanced company had come, yet the intelligence from his informants only reported ten people. That was a difference of tens of thousands of miles!
If he had known it was an enhanced company earlier, he would never have failed to make any preparations!
But it was too late to say anything now; the opponent had already arrived.
Thinking this, he looked at the other party and said coldly, "Death, no matter how many people you brought, there are only four of you standing in this hall. Do you think the four of you can eliminate everyone here?"
"Why not?" Ye Cangtian retorted with a smile.
Hmph!
The Sect Master snorted coldly and said angrily, "How arrogant! You remind me of an annoying fellow from the Hidden Organization. He's as arrogant as you!
However, I haven't had the time to deal with him yet. Otherwise, I would definitely let him taste the might of the Five Poisons Sect!"
Oh?
Ye Cangtian's interest was piqued upon hearing this, and he smiled, asking, "Why don't you tell me, who is this fellow you dislike?"
As his words fell, Yao Bao'er immediately cast a contemptuous glance.
In the Hidden Organization, if one were to talk about arrogance, who else dared to claim the second spot? And you're still asking the opponent now, aren't you asking for the obvious?
On the other side, the Sect Master, not noticing Yao Bao'er's gaze, continued to stare at Death.
Seeing the other party inquire, he didn't hide anything and replied, "There's a brat in the Hidden Organization named Ye Cangtian. He's just as arrogant as you, and likes to court death!"
Heh, it's really me.
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and muttered to himself, then said, "It's not about courting death, but rather that we have the qualification to be arrogant, while you do not!"
You...
With that single sentence, the Sect Master's face turned red. He knew what the other party meant.
The other party was essentially saying that both he and Ye Cangtian were Heaven-grade experts, while the Sect Master was not, hence he lacked the qualification.
Thinking this, he snorted coldly and said solemnly, "Death, what ability is there in just showing off with words! Let's settle this with our hands! Let's see if you destroy me today, or if I keep you all here!"
"Alright, as you wish!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian shrugged. Since he didn't want to waste any more time, he made a gesture of invitation.
"In that case, as the host, it is only right that I make the first move."
Looking at Ye Cangtian's gesture, the Sect Master smiled coldly and continued, "Then let you try our Five Poisons Grand Array, which the Five Poisons Sect has never used since its establishment!"
As he spoke, the Sect Master made a grand gesture.
In the next moment, the five elders in the hall moved instantly, surrounding Ye Cangtian and the other three in the blink of an eye.
As the five elders unleashed their spiritual energy, a dark green five-pointed star lit up on the floor of the hall.
Following that, the shadows of a spider, a toad, a snake, a centipede, and a five-leaf clover appeared behind the five elders.
Among them, the five-leaf clover continuously emitted spiritual energy.
With the aura of the five-leaf clover boosting them, the eyes of the other four shadows turned blood-red, filled with a bloodthirsty and ferocious aura.
Go!
With a loud shout from the five individuals, the shadows of the centipede, toad, snake, and spider bared their fangs and charged towards Ye Cangtian and the other three.
This...
Seeing the figures of the four poisonous beasts, Xue Qi and the other two women's expressions changed drastically.
This peculiar formation was something the three women had never encountered before, and they felt somewhat nervous.
Hmph!
Ye Cangtian let out a cold snort and said, "You call this array something to scare people with?"
As his words fell, Ye Cangtian waved his hand, and five energy blades were sent hurtling towards the elders at the five formation bases.
Boom boom boom...
As the energy blades hit their targets, bursts of roaring sounds ensued.
However, to Ye Cangtian's surprise, after the energy blades dissipated, the elders at the five formation bases were completely unharmed.
They remained with their eyes closed, seated in their respective positions.
"Hahaha, Death, do you think it's that simple?"
"The Five Poisons Array is the guardian array of our Five Poisons Sect. Do you think it can be broken so easily?"
Seeing Ye Cangtian's astonished gaze, the Sect Master burst into laughter.
Ye Cangtian sneered and said, "Don't rush, just watch how I break your grand array!"
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian's palm vibrated, and the Death Scythe began to swing.
He first repelled the approaching centipede and toad, then his figure flashed, and he charged forward.
In the next moment, he appeared before an elder at a formation base. Following that, the Death Scythe was raised high, and a Sky-Breaking Slash descended.
Seeing Ye Cangtian's relentless attacks, the Sect Master revealed a disdainful smile and said, "Death, you might as well give up. Doing this is useless and will only tarnish your reputation..."
Boom!
Before the Sect Master could finish speaking, a rumbling sound echoed.
When the spiritual energy dispersed, the Sect Master was dumbfounded. The elder at the five-leaf clover formation base had fallen into a pool of blood.
This... How is this possible!
The Sect Master and the other elders were stunned on the spot.
The Five Poisons Grand Array was adapted by the ancestors of the Five Poisons Sect from the Five Elements Grand Array. Although the formation bases were exposed, they complemented each other.
Whether it was in terms of defensive power or the strength of the spirit beast shadows behind them, they were all extremely formidable.
But why couldn't even one strike from Death be blocked?
At the same time, without the augmentation of the five-leaf clover's aura, the other four spirit beast shadows had become dim, and their aura had weakened considerably.
This greatly reduced the pressure on Xue Qi and the other two women.
"Sect Master, your Five Elements Grand Array isn't all that impressive either. You've somewhat disappointed me!" At this moment, Ye Cangtian's voice rang out.
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian did not pause, and his figure flickered again.
Boom! Boom!
By the time the Sect Master reacted, Ye Cangtian had already destroyed two more formation bases, and the shadows of the poisonous snake and spider had vanished.
Looking at the riddled Five Poisons Array, the Sect Master's face turned extremely grim.
This was not how the formation breaking was described in the records!
Could it be that the ancestors of the Five Poisons Sect were a joke? Why was the Five Poisons Array they established broken so easily on its first use?
Yes, the Sect Master had begun to doubt the ancestors of the Five Poisons Sect.
Thinking this, he winked at the Second Elder. Upon seeing this, the Second Elder quickly stepped forward and put his ear close.
The Sect Master gave his instructions swiftly. In the next moment, the Second Elder nodded repeatedly and then, before Ye Cangtian could destroy the array, he took the lead and left the hall.
There was no other way. The Five Poisons Grand Array was basically rendered useless and could no longer stop Death and the others. Therefore, the Sect Master had to make preparations for the next step in advance.
Boom! Boom!
Two more booming sounds echoed, and the last two formation base elders were also slain, completely shattering the Five Poisons Grand Array.
All the elders in the hall were dumbfounded.
According to historical records, the Five Poisons Grand Array required one to continuously destroy the five poisonous shadows and weaken the array's power before it could be broken.
During this process, it could also greatly deplete the opponent's spiritual energy. Even if the opponent broke the array, their combat power would be significantly reduced due to lack of spiritual energy.
But who would have thought that Ye Cangtian would use such a forceful method to break it, truly opening their eyes.
