352 Teach Them a Lesson
“Who is it? Hurry up and come out!”
Several disciples were beaten blue and black because they couldn’t avoid it in time. After seeing that the thing that had attacked them was a fruit core, the Five Poison Sect members’ faces turned ugly.
Even Li Mao and the others were stunned. They didn’t expect that there would be another party present. That fruit core was small and harmless, but it was used like a top-grade hidden weapon. They didn’t know what kind of amazing person was behind this.
“Could it be that the elders have come?”
Li Mao and the others could not help but feel hope. If the reinforcements arrived, they would be saved.
Ye Xuan appeared with a half-eaten fruit in his hand. He looked very young, and there was a teenager around 16 or 17 years old beside him. Both of them had average cultivation.
Facing the sudden appearance of two more people, they did not notice their presence at all earlier. The Five Poison Sect members’ expression was vigilant, and their eyes fell on Ye Xuan with some magnanimity. “Were you the one that threw the fruit core just now?”
From the clothes of these two people, it seemed that they were only itinerant cultivators and not disciples of any sect. It seemed that they were just passing by.
The Five Poison Sect felt that there was something amiss. If their cultivation was really ordinary, how could the core that they casually threw out be so powerful? The less trouble, the better. They wanted to drive these two away.
“The Five Poison Sect is handling matters. Those who are not involved should leave immediately.”
Ye Xuan didn’t seem to hear him and continued to eat the rest of the fruit slowly. “This isn’t your territory, and your names aren’t written on it.”
“Impudent!”
They had never been looked down on like this before. Their faces darkened immediately. “Did you hear what we said? If you’re sensible, you should get lost. Otherwise, you’ll be buried with this group of people.”
Ye Xuan just gave him a side glance and said, “Noisy.”
“Ah!”
There was a scream. Before the crowd could even see how Ye Xuan had attacked, the Five Poison Sect disciple who had spoken arrogantly had already covered his eyes and fallen, rolling on the ground in pain.
“My eyes! My eyes!”
The wailing sound that sounded like a pig being slaughtered resounded through the sky. Blood flowed down from the gaps of his fingers and dripped onto the ground drop by drop. The bloody fruit core was extremely conspicuous, and the onlookers inexplicably felt their eyes hurt.
“Junior Brother Zhou, how are you?”
Zhou Sheng was helped up and immediately flew into a rage. “Kill him!”
It could be seen that he had a high status in the Five Poison Sect. The disciples’ expressions were unfriendly, and they immediately whistled. The poisonous creatures seemed to be summoned by them and surrounded Ye Xuan.
Even though A’tian wasn’t afraid of poisonous insects, he couldn’t help but have goosebumps when he saw so many densely packed insects.
Li Mao saw that they were alone and Ye Xuan was so young, so he couldn’t help but remind him, “Fellow Daoist, these spiders are very poisonous. You have to be careful. If you have the chance, you should leave quickly.”
The sword Qi drew a sharp arc, and countless spiders were annihilated, not even leaving a residue.
These poisonous creatures weren’t difficult to deal with. What was difficult was that they would release poisonous gas after they died. Ye Xuan had killed so many spiders in one go, and he was even more powerful than Li Mao.
The hearts of Li Mao and the others were in their throats.
On the other hand, the people from the Five Poison Sect laughed heartily, “This brat is simply seeking his own death. When the poisonous gas erupts, you’ll have a good time.”
At the place where the spider died, black gas gushed out like a fountain. The plants nearby instantly withered, and even the earth was corroded. The power of the poison was evident as it quickly surrounded Ye Xuan and A’tian.
“He’ll definitely die in a moment.”
Zhou Sheng revealed a carefree smile. However, in the next second, his expression became a little stiff. Two figures in the poisonous fog slowly fell down.
“Swish-”
A sharp weapon whistled through the air, and the fog immediately dissipated. Both Ye Xuan and A’tian stood in place, looking perfectly fine.
Ye Xuan held the black iron giant sword and looked at them with a faint smile. “That’s all? That was nothing much.”
The members of the Five Poison Sect were dumbfounded. “How could this be?”
They had almost never failed to use this trick. Except for the elders with high cultivation, most of the disciples would fall for it. They would never have thought that the poison released after the death of the poisonous creature would be several times larger.
Ye Xuan had plundered a large number of supreme-grade pills and magic treasures in Jingdu. Most of them were given to the Tai Qing Sect, and the rest were brought along by him. Among them were top-grade detoxification pills, which he had taken with A’tian before.
As for Li Mao and the others, they didn’t have enough antidote pills on them, so they couldn’t detoxify the poison.
The dense horde of spiders once again crawled over.
Like a ghost, Ye Xuan had already broken through the encirclement of the poisonous creatures and did not give them any time to react. In a flash of cold light, several Five Poison Sect disciples fell as if they were vegetables being cut.
Those people didn’t even have time to react to what had happened. They looked at the huge bloody hole in their chest in disbelief and their bodies had already fallen down.
Zhou Sheng’s eyelids kept twitching. “What are you guys doing here? Hurry up and attack. There are so many of us, why would we be afraid of one guy?”
Even if Ye Xuan was powerful, he couldn’t deal with so many of them.
The disciples of the Five Poison Sect swarmed forward. They might be considered experts in using poison, but compared to Ye Xuan in actual combat, they were clearly not skilled enough. They couldn’t even last half a round. It was a crushing defeat.
In just a moment, a large number of the Five Poison Sect members had fallen.
Zhou Sheng caught a glimpse of Ye Xuan’s mocking gaze and then he looked at his defeated army. He already had the intention to retreat. “Just you wait!”
After saying that, a huge smoke bomb exploded, blocking everyone’s vision.
When the smoke dispersed, there was no trace of the Five Poison Sect members.
