Outside, after the three of them approached the fog, they looked at each other and tacitly separated. They started advancing in a triangular formation.
The old woman with the highest cultivation level walked in front. She made a hand gesture to slow down and stared at the fog warily. Her walking stick hit the ground a few times.
She released her Nomological power which transformed into a group of small snakes. They swam towards the fog in different directions and probed the way first.
As soon as they entered, a sword light lit up for an instant, and the snakes' heads that reached in were cut off. Then, its entire body collapsed as it twisted, turning into energy and dissipating.
Seeing the sword light, the old woman suddenly raised her head and sneered. "Ye Jingtian is the only one attacking for the time being. Ye Sai has already been poisoned by my snake venom and can't use much of his strength. I don't think there will be many people inside. Let's kill our way in first!"
"Hehe, just from the fact that he's hiding inside like a chicken, a coward, and a scaredy cat, I can tell that their situation isn't good."
The mummy-like elder beside him let out a strange laugh. It sounded like rusty iron rubbing against each other, and it was especially ear-piercing.
"I don't think this array formation is very powerful. Let's release the poison first!"
The other person was much more cautious. Blood-colored shadows shot out from under his feet. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in the fog and approached Song Shi.
Song Shi saw that it was a living creature this time. It was a breed of special red ants. At this moment, they condensed into a ball. After landing, it suddenly exploded.
The red ants instantly filled the nearby space and quickly crawled everywhere. The things left behind on the way corroded the ground and grass, leaving an obvious mark.
As there were a lot of them, Song Shi's location was quickly located. The group of ants looked small, but they were extremely powerful in numbers.
"Good move!"
This time, Song Shi could not kill the ants with his sword. Instead, he released a circle of fireballs, wanting to burn these ants to death.
A strange scene happened. These ants were actually not afraid of fire, or rather, the fireball was of a harmless threat to them. They were still approaching.
As long as an ant discovered him, the other ants would quickly notice him.
The elder of the Heavenly Poison Sect who released the ants outside sneered. "My Poison Fire Ants are not afraid of fire. You can see how terrifying it is to be bitten by ants."
Song Shi frowned when he heard that. He was not afraid of death, but being bitten to death by a group of ants would definitely be torture.
At this moment, bugs also emerged from the mummy-like creature's body. However, they were pitch-black and looked a little like cockroaches. They were densely packed. After crawling out, they surged towards Song Shi.
He felt his scalp go numb. Among the three of them, only the old woman was normal. She used snake venom. It was fine if these two guys raised bugs, but this guy actually raised his bugs on his own body. It was disgusting.
The black bugs seemed to have determined his location before the Poison Fire Ants. They emitted a strange sizzling sound and surged towards him with a purpose.
He didn't want to become bug food and immediately retreated a hundred feet away with a frown. Then, he realized that these black bugs were rushing towards the corpses of the Ye Family cultivators who hadn't been completely devoured by the blood river.
"This thing can detect the smell of blood!"
Song Shi could see the ability of this thing and roughly deduced that they must be very bloodthirsty.
"F*ck, it's not easy to die like this, I won't play with you guys anymore!"
He cursed and lifted the Blood River to sweep up the corpse. He turned around and left.
Now that his body was strong, it was difficult for him to die immediately even if he was poisoned. If he had to be bitten to death by a bunch of insects, he would rather not die.
He, Song Shi, also followed a certain standard. How could he die so easily?
Even if he was courting death, the quality of the deaths had to be high enough, the death had to be straightforward, or else he had to die while enjoying himself.
He would definitely reject being tortured to death, it was a fate worse than death itself. Unless it was in a beggars can't be choosers situation.
"Escaping?"
Sensing Song Shi's movements, the mummy sneered. "Hehe, was he afraid? The three of us attacking together actually scared him away. This means that their situation is not good."
"Where do you think you're going? Do you think you can get away from us?"
The three of them sneered. After confirming that the other party was in a feeble state, they stopped probing and increased their speed with their Dharma treasures, charging into the fog.
"…"
Song Shi did not expect these three people to still dare to chase after him. Did they really think that he was easy to bully?
He glanced at the battlefield and realized that many Ye Family cultivators had been poisoned to death. At this moment, other than using the Life and Death Gu to devour the power of the dead, they were also extracting the blood of the Ye Family cultivators.
As for the independent cultivators who followed the Ye Family to the ruins, they had all escaped. He actually did not notice this.
Originally, the Ye Family had brought many independent cultivators to help. Now that they were in danger, they took the opportunity to slip away one by one, greatly weakening the Ye Family's strength.
The Heavenly Poison Sect did not stop these cultivators from escaping. Instead, they were happy to see this happening.
Without the help of the independent cultivators, the situation has become one-sided.
Just as he was about to force the three of them to use their Dharma treasures to give him a quick death, the sound of thunder came from the distant sky.
Their expressions changed and they stopped in their tracks.
On the horizon, three huge Bronze chariots charged over.
Song Shi stopped in his tracks and stared at the chariot with a surprised expression, "The Ye Family's reinforcements are actually so fast!"
He was glad that he had acted early and ambushed the Ye Family when their formation was interrupted by the Heavenly Poison Sect. Otherwise, it would be much more difficult to kill the three Golden Cores now.
Boom!
Before the Bronze War Chariot approached, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled amidst the bright light. Bolts of lightning struck first, blasting many Heavenly Poison Sect cultivators away.
Ye Wenzhong laughed loudly. "You didn't expect this, did you? I asked my clansmen to come and receive us in advance. Do you really think you can kill us at our doorstep?"
The Perfected Lord of Hundred Poisons looked at the reinforcements and smiled playfully, "When did I say that I wanted to annihilate all of you? I just wanted to take some blood."
A few worms that looked like leeches swam between his fingers. They were golden in color and had clearly swallowed a lot of blood. And the blood belonged to Ye Wenzhong.
"We're almost done with the collection of blood. Everyone, retreat."
Just as he gave the order to retreat, he suddenly sensed something. His expression changed slightly as he retreated a little. He raised his hand and threw a ball of colorful poisonous smoke at Ye Wenzhong.
"Hmph, do you think you can bully the Ye Family whenever you want?"
Ye Wenzhong's spear shot out like a dragon. The golden spear shadow broke through the poisonous smoke and chased after him in large strides.
When his vision became affected, the Perfected Lord of Hundred Poisons smiled smugly.
Black gas churned under the poisonous smoke. Chains suddenly shot out and quickly wrapped around the golden spear. At the same time, they landed on Ye Wenzhong.
The latter did not expect that there would be an ambush attack and was shocked. Golden light erupted from his body and he wanted to break free from the chain, but the power of extreme Yin suddenly surged out from the chain and sealed his Dharma power.
At this moment, there was a flash of light beside him. He felt pain all over his body and screamed. A large number of Leech worms bit through his defense and burrowed into his body. Making it look like there were many terrifying bumps on his body.
The surrounding poisonous smoke invaded through the wound, and his skin turned colorful. His Nomological power quickly weakened.
Perfected Lord of Hundred Poisons' poison and Lu Jiu's sneak attack, Soul Binding Chains, easily suppressed him on the spot.
He looked at the chain in shock and anger. "Lu Jiu, it's you!"
Having fought with Lu Jiu before, how could he not recognize the chains that bound his Dharma treasures and body? However, he did not expect that the Heavenly Ghost Sect would also ambush them.
"Patriarch Ye, just because there are reinforcements doesn't mean that they can save you."
Lu Jiu appeared behind Ye Wenzhong. At the same time, Ghost Butcher and the others also appeared. They originally wanted to wait for the fight to die down before reaping the benefits. When they sensed that reinforcements had arrived, they decisively chose to cooperate with the Heavenly Poison Sect.
Otherwise, they might not be able to achieve anything today.
"Patriarch!"
When the reinforcements on the Bronze Chariot saw Ye Wenzhong's encounter, they shouted anxiously and immediately rushed over.
"Stop them!"
Lu Jiu waved his hand and stared at Ye Wenzhong, "You must die today!"
Perfected Lord of Hundred Poisons chuckled, "Sect Master Lu, if not for the reinforcements, you would have taken advantage of our Heavenly Poison Sect today. This is not how an ally behaves."
As he spoke, he also arranged for extra people to block the reinforcements.
Originally, the number of cultivators in a family like the Ye Family could not compare to a sect, so they brought a group of independent cultivators to support them.
Now that the independent cultivators had fled, their numbers were severely insufficient. It would not be a problem for them to work with the Heavenly Ghost Sect to stop the Ye Family's reinforcements.
"Hehe, Old Poison, we're all from Demonic Cult. There's no need to say such pompous words." Lu Jiu smiled faintly.
Everyone knew that unscrupulousness was a characteristic of the Demonic Cults.
"Alright, but we can't be at a disadvantage. I want this old man's heart blood and soul!"
The Perfected Lord of Hundred Poisons did not waste his breath on Lu Jiu and stated his request.
"No problem."
Lu Jiu happily agreed.
