"No, little girl, you are mistaken. If Wang Erzhue were to emerge, he would be more tragic than a skeleton!"
As Erzhue was about to say something, a man with a gaping maw behind the old recluse grinned maliciously and answered first.
His arm swiftly cut open, and dark red blood dripped to the ground incessantly!
In an instant, all the gu worms converged on him. In just a few minutes, their volume had doubled!
"The moment he takes a step, he will turn to ash, hahaha..."
Looking at the gu worms crawling towards him eagerly, the man smirked sinisterly, his smile deepening at the corners of his mouth.
As Miao Ying's lover, he naturally wanted Erzhue to wish for death!
"Bada, well done! We'll help you too!"
As soon as Bada finished speaking, all the other gu poison masters, except for the old recluse, seemed to understand. They all cut openings in their bodies. Nourished by this vital blood, the gu worms' volume doubled again!
Seeing the gu worms, the size of houseflies, Xiao Tian Huizi's heart leaped into her throat. She clutched Erzhue's clothes tightly, filled with extreme fear!
"Don't worry, Miss Huizi, the bigger these gu worms are, the better!"
Yet Erzhue remained as calm as ever, a faint smile even gracing his lips.
Xiao Tian Huizi's eyes were filled with confusion. She wanted to ask, but Erzhue had already broken free from her grasp!
She quickly tried to grab him again, but Erzhue had already stepped out of the circle, and she could only retract her hand.
Swiftly, the nourished gu worms seemed to sense something and converged rapidly towards Erzhue. In an instant, Erzhue's body was covered in them!
"Hahaha, die!"
Watching Erzhue being swallowed by the swarm of gu worms, the old recluse and the others burst into laughter, their eyes filled with triumph.
They thought it was all over, little knowing it was just the beginning!
As the gu poison continuously entered Erzhue's body, his spiritual energy began to increase exponentially!
The Yuanpei Pearl in his dantian also doubled in size, and a small aperture appeared on it!
But the aperture was so small that even Erzhue couldn't notice it!
"Erzhue..."
Beside him, Xiao Tian Huizi watched Erzhue and slumped to the ground, heartbroken.
Erzhue was strong, but he would surely die against such a dense infestation of gu worms!
The thought of Erzhue dying pained Xiao Tian Huizi immensely. If she could, she would even trade her life for his!
"Old recluse, you said this Wang Erzhue was very formidable. I don't see it."
"Exactly, he's charging ahead when it's impossible. I think he's just a fool!"
"Tsk, dying so easily, there's no sense of accomplishment at all."
...
Seeing more and more gu worms on Erzhue, the gu poison masters spoke up, their eyes filled with contempt and disappointment.
If they had known this fellow was all talk, they wouldn't have prepared for so long. What a waste of time!
The old recluse frowned, staring intently at Erzhue. Although the gu poison masters all believed Wang Erzhue was doomed, he felt things weren't that simple!
Because Erzhue was still standing firmly in place, while the gu worms were growing fewer in number!
"Something's wrong! Everyone, hide quickly!"
With a glint in his eyes, the old recluse suddenly thought of something. He yelled as he ran back, "Everyone, hide quickly!"
Huh?
Bang!
The other gu poison masters hadn't even reacted when a thunderous roar echoed!
A surge of immense true energy erupted, and all the gu worms on Erzhue's body exploded!
And Erzhue himself seemed reborn, appearing even more powerful than before!
The gu poison masters stared at Erzhue in horror, their minds blank!
What was going on?
The gu worms had not only failed to kill Wang Erzhue but had made him even stronger!
On the other side, Xiao Tian Huizi was utterly shocked. She had thought Erzhue would turn to dust, but to her surprise, he was unharmed!
Erzhue, he was truly too powerful!
"Run! Wang Erzhue is a cultivator. These gu poisons can't harm him; instead, they can be converted into spiritual energy, making him stronger!"
As everyone was stunned, the old recluse's voice came again from a distance. Hearing this, all the gu poison masters fled as if driven mad.
Though they were already powerful, compared to cultivators, they were nothing!
Especially Divine Cultivators; it was said that with opportunities, they could achieve divinity and become immortals!
With this thought, the gu poison masters' speed increased. But no matter how fast they fled, their fate today was sealed:
They would die!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
The Hongming Blade, emitting a faint spiritual glow, shot towards the gu poison masters. The gu poison masters unleashed all their might to escape!
But the Minghong Blade had already gained a sword spirit. No matter where they fled, death was inevitable!
Pfft, pfft, pfft!
In an instant, five or six gu poison masters bled to death on the spot!
Seeing this, the other gu poison masters were terrified, their faces ashen!
They had intended to make a name for themselves with this opportunity, but now they might die here!
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
The Minghong Blade charged again, and several more gu poison masters fell to the ground!
And at this point, only the old recluse remained!
The old recluse stood atop the treetops, looking at the corpses of the gu poison masters, his eyes filled with fear amidst his rage!
He knew Erzhue was strong, but he never imagined he would be this powerful!
Would he truly meet his end here?
No, he refused to accept it!
The old recluse shook his head slightly and quickly set up a feng shui killing formation. In an instant, the sky was enveloped by a thick deathly aura!
"Wang Erzhue, you can't kill me!"
Looking at the dense death aura, the old recluse laughed heartily, and at the same time, numerous killing intents surged towards Erzhue!
"So what if he's a cultivator? He's bound to die when faced with such a potent killing aura!"
Seeing Erzhue surrounded by killing intent, the old recluse's smile grew wider.
Breaking the gu poison was nothing; he still had feng shui techniques!
After all, his feng shui techniques were the strongest in Miao territory!
"Erzhue!"
Xiao Tian Huizi's despairing cry echoed from afar. Although she couldn't see the death aura, she could guess from the old recluse's triumphant expression that Erzhue was finished this time!
Xiao Tian Huizi collapsed to the ground in despair, her mind replaying all the moments she had shared with Erzhue...
If she had known it would end like this, she would never have brought Erzhue back to Japan!
Now, how would she explain this to her father, and how would she face Li Mei!
Xiao Tian Huizi's heart ached as if it would break, her vision blurring!
But Erzhue appeared indifferent, standing with his arms crossed, watching it all unfold as if it were an amusement.
"You, are truly too foolish!"
The old recluse noticed Erzhue's abnormality and was about to question him when he heard Erzhue speak these words.
As he was puzzled, a gust of wind suddenly blew, scattering the death aura that surrounded Erzhue!
What?
This is impossible!
The old recluse stared at the scene in shock. The feng shui killing formation had been broken!
And in such a short time!
