Devour

Chapter 143: Fighting for the Disaster

Cheng Bai immediately flew as light as a swallow, passing through the holes chewed by the blood-sucking worm larvae, as if jumping out of a veil of illusion, returning to the real world and standing in the sandy desert on the moon.

"The power of the palm thunder just now has obviously weakened, and it only killed Qu Cong. Shan Liu has weakened a lot. If he still had the strength before being poisoned, Hei Long and Ruan Taoran would not be spared."

Cheng Bai pondered in his heart, put away the Void Rope, and looked intently at the Mountain and River Spirit Control Map.

The mountain willow in the painting stopped its rage, turned around and returned to the valley full of exotic flowers and plants, curled up on the ground, using the magical herbs everywhere to resist the poison, staring at the people outside the painting with its huge copper bell eyes, holding Qu Cong's red soul fire in its hand and chewing it.

"You're so cruel, little thing. I'll trade one for three. Take the bug away and I'll let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, even if the poison takes effect, I'll drag you to death." Shan Liu threatened viciously, even panting while speaking.

Cheng Bai could hear its helplessness and was secretly shocked: "How could the Tyrant Poison make it so afraid? No, there is also the power of the Soul Return Road and the Massacre Secret Art, plus the blood-sucking insects that leaked the essence of the immortal map."

Without slowing down, he took out the jade box and swept the mural with the power of the Phoenix, trying to take back the blood-sucking worm larvae, but was surprised to find that the caterpillars had stopped gnawing on the skin of the Black Tortoise and were shedding their skin to form a cocoon, transforming into pupae.

Cheng Bai was surprised and asked, "How come it grows so fast?"

Li Tong whispered, "The skin of the black tortoise is much better than the stomach of the mysterious jellyfish. It has extraordinary power and can accelerate the growth of blood-sucking insects. With the right chance, these larvae may be able to evolve into fairy-sucking insects."

Cheng Bai put the five insect pupae into the jade box and stole a glance at the mountain willow in the picture. He saw it lying on the ground and eating a strange fruit with an earthy yellow color and a slender shape.

Shi Chi said softly, "That's Earth Dragon Fruit. When the drug level is not high, you can take it intermittently to suppress it. Otherwise, it will have to abandon this body and practice the Ten Thousand Tribulations True Demon Method again."

Cheng Bai took the opportunity to teleport his men to the top of the Ladder of All Things, took out a Blood Ginseng Pill and gave it to the unconscious Ruan Taoran, and asked Hei Long to carry it on his back.

The smoker was sleeping soundly, and when he noticed someone coming, he stood up and said, "My Lord, you have been gone for a long time, more than a day, and the meeting to meet the calamity may have already begun."

Cheng Bai had difficulty judging the passage of time, so he put away the golden pagoda on his head and asked Li Tong, "How much time has passed since we were in the Mountain and River Imperial Spirit Map?"

Li Tong said: "The normal state in the picture, the time is the same as the location, Shan Liu has accelerated the passage of time, and more than a whole day has passed."

"No wonder the blood-sucking insects have all transformed into pupae. They have been delayed in the world in the picture for a long time. I wonder what the situation is like at Jianya. How are Ningxiang, Miaoting and the others?"

Cheng Bai quickly adjusted the Star Bead on the top of the Pyramid of the Ladder of All Things, opened the Netherworld Path, and returned to the Qiongqi Continent at the speed of light.

The direction designated by the Xingxiu Pearl was not as accurate as Chengbai's ground vein transmission, and it arrived at the foot of Jianya Mountain.

Baijian Palace is located in the middle of the mountain, surrounded by dense forests. Looking from a distance, one can see green bricks and tiles, flying eaves and pointed corners, as if it is an ancient paradise.

Cheng Bailing glanced around and saw several people lying on the hillsides in the distance, motionless, as if they had been dead for a long time. He wondered, "How could there be deaths at the Tribulation Conference? Let's go over and take a closer look."

With the black dragonfly, he rushed towards the mountain like an arrow.

When he got closer, Cheng Bai leaned over to take a closer look.

Each group of the dead were dressed in uniform clothing. There were three groups of people in succession, all of whom were descendants of clans and aristocratic families. They were carrying weapons and had different injuries. Their body temperatures were all cold, and it was obvious that they had been dead for a long time.

Hei Long saw it clearly and couldn't help but say, "It seems like they had a dispute. The first group was killed by the second group, and the second group was killed by the third group. The weapons used and the wounds matched."

Cheng Bai knew that what he said was true, and he felt even more puzzled. He thought to himself, "Why did they have a dispute? Did they have a grudge against each other in the past?"

Continuing to go to Baijian Palace, we encountered more corpses on the road. Groups of three or five people fell to the ground and died, which seemed to be the result of fighting.

From afar, you can see a giant sword that is more than ten meters high and pierces the ground at the entrance of the palace. It is the landmark building of the Sword Worship Palace. Legend has it that it is a replica of the ancient magical treasure "Xuanyuan Sword". It is made of black iron and weighs 60,000 kilograms. It has stood here for more than ten thousand years and has become the symbol of the Sword Sect.

As we got closer, we could hear the faint sound of weapons clashing, and a fierce battle was going on there.

Cheng Bai thought to himself: "Is this a martial arts competition?" He slowed down and approached with Hei Long.

Suddenly, there was a sound of hidden weapons breaking through the air behind him, and someone shouted, "Stay still if you come here."

Cheng Bai did not stop at all. He gently swung his hand back and naturally used the "bo" technique of the Six Paths of Bliss Fist, which made the several hidden weapons fly back at a faster speed.

The man cried out "Ouch" and fell to the ground.

Cheng Bai glanced back and saw a large man in brocade clothes lying on the ground, with several iron darts nailed to his body, still groaning.

After looking again and again, Cheng Bai was sure that this was the first time they met and they were complete strangers. He didn't know why this man attacked so brutally and felt a little sorry, so he stepped forward and asked, "My method was a bit too heavy. I'm really sorry. Do you want some medicine?" He casually pulled out the iron dart from the man's body.

Blood gushed out of the brocade-clothed man's body, but he clenched his teeth, looked fierce, and used all his strength to punch, using a "Vajra Hammer" move, punching hard into the man's lower abdomen.

Cheng Bai recognized this move as the popular powerful tiger-subduing fist, which was used by some people in the Hunter Academy. He could have easily avoided it, but he was dissatisfied and said in his heart: "I came here with good intentions to check on his injuries, but you kept killing him. You can't blame me."

The second transformation of his Six Paths of Supreme Art was complete, and he had natural resistance. He was not bothered by this attack and did not even activate his spiritual shield.

The burly man in brocade clothes was rejoicing when he saw that his powerful move had hit him, but he felt a force several times stronger rebounding back to the point where he was hit. His hands were broken immediately, and he flew backwards a long distance with a scream, crashing into a tree and breaking it. He rolled on the ground several times, spitting blood from his mouth, and could not get up.

The place where the replica of Xuanyuan Sword was located was the largest square of the Sword Sect. Several screams were heard one after another. Cheng Bai no longer paid attention to the man in brocade clothes, and ran to the gate of the Sword Worship Palace with Hei Long.

The venue was densely packed with people. To the west was the Glorious Legion led by Yun Juan. To the east, south and north, the number of people was several times greater. They gathered in groups of hundreds, forming a semi-encirclement and confronting the Glorious Legion.

There were several people lying on the ground in the square, their bodies covered in blood. They looked up at the two swordsmen on the replica of Xuan-Yuan Sword, who were fighting fiercely. The sounds of weapons clashing and breaking through the air were endless.

The people around watched the battle with bated breath, and no one noticed that Cheng Bai walked in with Hei Long and Ruan Taoran.

Looking closer, it can be seen that both opponents are rare experts in the Hunter Guild. They leap and move around the replica of the Xuan-Yuan Sword, brandishing swords with flashing lights, and their bodies are as agile as swimming dragons.

Suddenly, the two men paused in their moves, and one of them screamed "Ouch!" and tumbled from mid-air, falling to the ground with a thud. He struggled to stand up on the ground, gasping for breath and saying, "The Sword Sect's unique skills are so superb. The Langjian School's skills are not as good as mine."

Standing at the end of the hilt of the replica of Xuan-Yuan Sword, pointing the sword at the ground, looking down from above was Xing Jue.

He looked down upon his opponent and accused him, "Master Qiu Xiao, the Langjian Sect is a century-old sect after all. It is really unreasonable. The Glorious Legion kindly invited all of you to come and board the Salvation Spirit Boat, but you spoke harshly and started fighting."

Qiu Xiao angrily said, "Bullshit, bullshit. You require each sect to only keep five seeded talents to board the spirit boat. Are the others waiting to die? Since you want to decide the extra places based on ability, why not let me fight for a few more."

Xing Jue shook his head and said, "The Glorious Legion has strict controls and cannot allow unstable and selfish factors to exist in the Spirit Boat. If they affect the safety of others, it will be a disaster. If Sect Leader Qiu has such thoughts, he must not board the Spirit Boat."

"Bah, the hilt of the knife is in your hands, you can say whatever you want." Qiu Xiao cursed and had to retreat with the injured subordinate.

Seeing Xing Jue winning and returning to his own camp, someone in the crowd shouted, "The Glorious Legion is holding the quota and occupying the Sword Sect's mountain gate, pretending to be kind and righteous."

Suddenly someone said passionately: "No matter what they say, we will rush up the mountain together, seize the spirit boat and fly away. Who are we afraid of?"

Someone responded, "That's right. The Glorious Legion is far less numerous than our righteous army. How can we let them control us at will?"

There was a buzz of discussion and the crowd seemed eager to try it out.
