Chapter 144 Tit For Tat
The Blissful Heaven Temple's disciples didn't even notice before Long Ming's arrows stuck their backs. The Hundred Flower Shot truly complicated his Intent of Arrow and Illusory Lightning Bow.
Long Ming felt something was amiss when he saw two Obsidian Rhinos charge toward the disciples of Four Seasons Valley. Using his Heavenly Revelation Eyes, he noticed the presence of the Blissful Heaven Temple's disciples.
In the sudden attack, Long Ming used quite a lot of Fragrant Yin Qi and Intent of Arrow. So, even the disciples of Blissful Heaven Temple who were at Primordial Spirit Unification Realm, they got injured seriously.
Not to mention, Long Ming shot the arrow at such a spot that it made them unable to feel their lower body, making them incapable of escaping.
" ARRRGHHH!"
" I can't feel my legs! I can't feel my legs!"
The disciples of Blissful Heaven Temple screamed in agony and pain as they rolled on the ground. Long Ming walked to them with a cold expression.
" Speak, What the hell are you trying to do? How did you lure those Obsidian Rhino to us?"
" Gaaghhh! Wh-Who the fuck are you?"
" Wrong answer."
Long Ming smiled coldly as he stepped on the arrow which was still stuck on their tailbones. With his foot, he pressed the arrow further. The disciple who retorted felt his entire body breaking with an immense pain.
" ARRRGGHHHHHH!"
The painful how chilled the spines of others who were lying on the ground. Long Ming turned around and looked at them and smiled lightly.
" So, Do I need to repeat my question?"
" Pheromones!" A disciple hurriedly spoke. " We used... Beast Attracting Pheromones on those mercenaries. While they...attacked you, the beasts followed them till there."
" Hmph! It looks like Blissful Heaven Temple didn't sit idly at all. They were making all these plans, huh?" Long Ming sneered.
" Well, The team of Blissful Heaven Temple couldn't be this small. Tell me, where is that bitch Li Qingxin and others went? What's your plans next?"
" I... I don't know."
Long Ming shrugged as he walked forward. His legs almost pressed the rear of the arrow, making the disciple tremble in fear.
" WA-WAIT! I know something! They said they are going to guard the Black Forest Pass! They... I think they are going to gather some Ten Millenium Dark Yin Grass!"
" Ten thousand year old Dark Yin Grass? Interesting, It seems like they know something, huh?" Long Ming rubbed his chin with a thoughtful expression.
" Alright, Thank you for your valuable information." Long Ming smiled as he looked at them. He turned around and scattered some power around.
" Wh-What are you doing?"
" Nothing, just sprinkling some Sleeping Power on you." Long Ming smiled. " Soon, the demonic beast will come here after smelling your blood. And at that moment, you guys would be sleeping like babies. So, I don't think your death will be painful."
" WHATT?!!"
They cursed the nine generations of Long Ming, but that didn't stop him from sprinkling the sleeping powder on them.
" Bastard! You are a demon! A real demon!"
" Do-Don't! Don't do that! I will do anything you say!"
" LET ME GO! LET ME GO!!"
" A demon, you say?" Long Ming chuckled. " Such a fine compliment, I will take that."
Long Ming finished his work and turned around to leave.
Although he couldn't kill people directly since it would trigger his Chaotic Murder Heart, he could kill people with a borrowed knife, right?
*BOOM BOOM BOOM*
Mu Qinglian and? Ming Yuexin took the pair of Obsidian Rhinos head-on, while other disciples supported them.
" Sky Shattering Blazing Palm!"
Mu Qinglian's aura erupted as a giant palm made of flame appeared in the sky. Mu Qinglian's power was like a berserk beast, her blood and vitality overwhelmed the nearby space.
*BOOOM*
The palm fell on the head of an Obsidian Rhino, almost caving its skull inside. Mu Qinglian vanished from her position and appeared right before the rhino. Raising her fist, it flashed with a blood colored light.
*CRAACCKKK*
The Obsidian Rhino roared in pain as Mu Qinglian attacked its horn. Although the horn didn't break, the pain almost made it faint. With another attack, Mu Qinglian crushed its skull with her fist.
With a loud boom, the corpse of an Obsidian Rhino fell on the ground, making the earth tremor.
*RAAARRRRR*
Seein its partner's fall, the second Obsidian Rhino's eyes turned red. A blood colored glow appeared on its horn as it raised its forelegs and stomped on the ground.
*RUMBLE RUMBLE*
The ground quaked violently as fissures appeared, making the disciples unstable. With its how it almost made the weak disciples paralyzed in fear.
" Damn it! The Obsidian Rhino has entered a berserk state! Everyone, stay away from it!" Ming Yuexin raised her sword and shouted.
Her sword intent turned into a blazing sword of fire as it rose to the sky. It multiplied and swirled around the Obsidian Rhino.
" Burning Sword Formations!"
*BOOM BOOM BOOM*
The Obsidian Rhino's skin glowed with a pale black light as it shielded against Ming Yuexin's attack. Although it was injured, the beast didn't stop and charged forward.
" Damn it! Luo Yingying! Get out of there!"
Luo Yingying was supporting the fight with her talismans. However, she never thought the rhino would charge her.
But at that moment, an arrow came like a purple shooting star and pierced the eye of the Obsidian Rhino.
The Rhino roared in pain and agony as it tumbled rolling on the ground madly. However, the arrow exploded inside its eyes, damaging its brain.
Blood seeped from its head as it finally fell silent after violent twitching, turning into a cold corpse.
" Whoa! What was that?"
" Such excellent archery! Could it be..."
Everyone turned around their head and saw Long Ming walking at them, holding his Illusiory Lightning Bow.
" Senior Brother! You are back!"
" Haha! We really defeated a pair of Half step Harmonization Realm demonic beasts."
Long Ming nodded as he looked at them. " It was a trap set by Blissful Heaven Temple, to ambush us. However, we turned it into a better opportunity."
" Dman it! It's really them!"
" That bunch of bastards and whores! How dare they attack us."
Mu Qinglian's expression turned cold when she heard that. " I see. So, they finally made their move huh?"
" Hmph, Just wait If I see a Blissful Heaven disciple next time, I will kill them." Ming Yuexin snorted as she sheathed her sword.
" Alright, Let's talk about that later. Currently, let's clean the corpses and rest for a while." Long Ming looked at them with a grin.
" The next place, we are going to is the Dark Forest Pass."
After two hours of resting, Long Ming and others walked to the Dark Forest Pass. It was actually a swamp area, with pitch black trees covering it.
It was very difficult to fly across the area due to the twisted branches of the trees, which was equally hard. So, one can only brave up and walk inside the swamp.
As they reached the peripheral area, Long Ming raised his hand, signaling them to stop.
" Wait a minute. Let me find something."
Long Ming looked around and found a tree oozing out a black colored resin. It gave off a fishy stench, almost the same as the swamp.
" Find these Black Spirit Birch resins and wipe them all over your body."
" Huh? But why?"
" You will know soon." Long Ming smiled.
Since it was Long Ming's instruction, everyone complied without any objection. The girls naturally like cleanliness, and the Dark Forest Pass is the total opposite of that.
However, they can only endure the strength and filthy mud as they move forward in deep night.
But then...
" Di-Did you heard that?"
" There is a buzzing noise."
" What's that?"
As everyone became alert, Mu Qinglian's eyes turned wide.
" Damn it! It's Crimson Blood Mosquito! There is a swarm of them coming!"
" What? Crimson Blood Mosquito?"
" Hurry and run!"
" Wait!"
Long Ming's voice echoed making everyone stunned. " No need to worry. Those mosquitoes won't harm us."
The Crimson Blood Mosquito are simply blood colored mosquitoes with size of an adult's palm. One can easily crush a single mosquito. But a swarm of them? Even Harmonization Realm cultivators would flee if they see a large swarm.
With their divine sense, they could see a cloud of mosquitoes charging through the twisted trees. As they arrived before the group of Four Seasons Valley, everyone's heart thumped with fear.
However, to their shock, the cloud of mosquitoes flew right above them, without noticing them at all.
" This... What happened?"
" They ignored us?"
Long Ming chuckled. " Well, Thanks to the resin of Dark Spirit Birch, we added a strong bug repellent aura to our bodies. So, the mosquitos ignored us."
Long Ming almost studied everything in the Medicinal Pavilion and the personal collections of Elder Liang.
Not to mention, he also received a boost of knowledge from the previous systems. So, he knew about the hidden effect of the resin of Dark Spirit Birch. nOve(lb/In
As they crossed the swamp, they met various swamp beasts and exotic herbs. Long Ming's Heavenly Revelation Eyes covered the entire area, making no treasure remaining hidden under his eyes.
Suddenly, he stopped as a grin appeared on his face.
He could see a group lurking before a giant cave as if they were getting prepared for the thing inside.
" Blissful Heaven Temple and... The people from Imperial Family?" Long Ming's eyes flashed with a cold light when he saw that.
" It looked like Blissful Heaven Temple and Imperial Family are colluding." Long Ming informed. " I guess they must be there for the Ten Thousand Year old Dark Yin Grass."
" However, such a precious herb, I think there must be some powerful demonic beasts nearby, making them apprehensive."
" Is that so?" Mu Qinglian frowned. Although they expected that to happen, she still felt uneasy to know that two powerful factions were working together, and both were hostile toward Four Seasons Valley.
" Hmm, But don't worry. I have a plan."
Long Ming pondered for a moment, as a strange smile appeared on his lips.
" Senior Sister Mu, you need to do something." Long Ming looked at him with a smile.
" Hmm?"
.

" Everyone, Gather in formation. Don't forget, there is Twin Headed Dark Serpent inside."
" Alright, Weapons and talismans are ready."
Soon, a gigantic python with two heads appeared outside the cave. It acted like it didn't see the intruders, and it was simply strolling outside its cave.
" Hehe, The concealment formation is working. Just wait till our poison works."
However, at that moment, purple arrows streaked across the sky like blooming flowers, raining down on their formation with tremendous force.
" Wh-What?!"
" What the hell happened!"
" Ambush!"
The Twin Headed Dark Serpent, who didn't notice the intruders, sensed the abnormality and hissed with anger.
Soon, burst of flames and poisonous mist showered on the Blissful Heaven Temple and Imperial Famil memebers.
