361: Chapter 361 Old Cured Meat
With an order from Great Elder, several disciples with dark skin and powerful builds walked into the cave.
Accompanied by the sound of "creak, creak," a pitch-black coffin that looked very old was carried out.
"Master, do we really need to summon the 'General'? If it loses control, the surrounding area might be devastated. After all, this is Wuliang Mountain, the territory of the Daoist sects..."
A slightly chubby disciple with a face full of flabby flesh stood by, looking worried.
"Ano, I don't want to either, but we have no choice. If the Prince of Zhenbei does not die, we will never know peace again!"
"Remember, if the assassination fails, run immediately! Run as far as you can! Do not let our lineage be cut off!"
A hint of sadness flashed in Ano's eyes as he gritted his teeth and nodded, "Understood, Master. I will go activate the mechanisms now!"
As he spoke, the seemingly obese Ano darted into the forest like an agile leopard.
On the path at the foot of the mountain, the carriage of Lin Xiao's party had reached the narrowest part of the winding trail.
Kong Sen stopped in front and looked back at the carriage, a flash of complex thoughts crossing his eyes...
Although his identity had been exposed, looking at the outcome, it didn't seem to make a difference.
Even though he had told Lin Xiao that there were poison arrays, mechanisms, and ambushes here, this incredibly arrogant Prince of Zhenbei had brought all his family members along.
Once a fight broke out, these women would likely just be a burden.
If Lin Xiao were really killed by the people from the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, then he would have completed his mission, right?
Would Great Elder keep his promise and remove the Soul-Gu Poison from Liao Meier?
Then Meier... would likely look at him with new eyes again, right?
At this thought, Kong Sen felt his dantian stop hurting; the loss of his internal energy was not even worth mentioning—it was all worth it!
"Swish, swish, swish!" Just then, arrows hanging with colorful pouches flew down from the dense forest!
Here they come! The poisonous explosive arrows of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave!
Kong Sen hurriedly whipped his horse and galloped away from the area.
On the carriage, Qin He's face was as calm as water, and he remained unmoved because he knew there was no need for him to do anything.
When those poison arrows landed seven or eight feet in front of the carriage, they were instantly frozen in mid-air by an invisible force!?
Kong Sen looked back and was dumbfounded!
The poison pouches, which would normally explode upon touching internal energy, had frozen rapidly and fallen down hard?
What kind of martial art is this!?
However... the crisis was not over yet!
Kong Sen knew that his own mechanisms and hidden weapons had not yet unleashed their power.
A carriage as big as a living target could not dodge them!
Sure enough! "Thud, thud, thud!!" Several powerful sounds of breaking air came from a high slope!
Several pitch-black spheres were launched by something and landed near the carriage.
Although they were still blocked in mid-air this time, the black spheres exploded in the air!
Wisps of blue-black toxic mist spread, and the horses were frightened as well.
But the shockwave of the explosion was not enough to damage the carriage.
A massive wave of energy was released from the carriage, instantly dispersing all the toxic mist!
Kong Sen was stunned!
One must know, these black spheres were his family's ancestral "Poison Fire"!
If thrown on a battlefield, this item was enough to tear heavy-armored cavalry to pieces, and inhaling the poison gas would make one wish for death.
Seven or eight of them exploded at once, yet they didn't even tear a shred of the carriage's exterior; it was simply ghostly!
But what shocked Kong Sen even more was that even after all this, Lin Xiao had not yet come out of the carriage.
Instead, he saw two wives walk out, one holding a scale-patterned long spear, and the other holding a water-like long sword, their expressions cold.
The two women tacitly split left and right, using their light movement techniques to charge fiercely into the forests on both sides!
They seemed to have clairvoyance and clairaudience, immediately catching the traces of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave disciples.
In the forest, one could only hear bursts of screams, and soon several disciples rolled down from the cliff!
The disciples of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave were good at using poison, but once their positions were exposed, they were no match for Mu Wanying and Leng Bingyan at all.
As a large number of disciples died, the ambush of traps and mechanisms in front was declared a complete failure!
"Woo-woo!" A bone flute sounded, followed by a series of eerie bell chimes.
From the slope on the north side, something came charging down at an extremely high speed!
The two horses seemed to sense something and neighed constantly, trying to escape, and no matter what, Qin He could not control them.
In a moment, that figure leaped out and landed about ten meters in front of the carriage.
That "person" was over two meters tall, covered in thick chainmail armor.
Interspersed within the chainmail were copper coins from the former Great Zheng Dynasty.
Water was constantly dripping from its body, as if it had just emerged from some liquid, and it was emitting a greenish toxic gas.
Kong Sen gasped, "So the legends were true..."
Qin He's face turned pale as he gritted his teeth and drew his blade: "Who goes there?!"
The chainmail-clad figure did not speak, but took a step forward, its figure like a black whirlwind, charging fiercely toward the carriage!
Just as the figure was about to rush into the middle of the horses, a "hum" of a sword sounded!
"Bang!" A powerful and heavy sword energy directly slammed the figure flying over ten meters away!
Lin Xiao then strolled out, looking with interest at the guy who had quickly climbed up, its chest armor broken with a hole.
[Qi Wensha, 261 years old, former dynasty General Zhennan, Black-Armored Medicine Man, Potential: Heaven Grade, Copper Skin and Iron Bones]
Another old corpse from the former dynasty?
Lin Xiao recalled that the ancestors of Earl Yushan's family seemed to have learned the Drug-Man Art from the southern frontier of the Million Great Mountains.
It was not hard to understand why the Ten Thousand Poison Cave would have a Medicine Man.
"To be able to block one of my sword energies, you have some ability. No wonder you dared to come and assassinate me..."
Lin Xiao did not look down on these people; after all, they did not know that he was already in the Earth Immortal Realm.
If he were in the Great Grandmaster Realm, they might have had a real chance with these strange gadgets, combined with this Black-Armored Medicine Man.
At this moment, the sound of the bone flute intensified!
The Black-Armored Medicine Man's green aura surged, turning into a black shadow, rushing toward Lin Xiao even more fiercely than before!
Lin Xiao did not give it a single chance, raising his hand to strike with a full-power Great Mercy Hand!
In mid-air, a huge palm print with faint golden light flickering destroyed the Black-Armored Medicine Man, shattering it into pieces!
The Medicine Man exploded in mid-air, releasing highly toxic green liquid, but it was all pushed dozens of meters away by the Great Mercy Hand!
The two-hundred-plus-year-old cured meat was completely reduced to a pile of fragments!
Seeing that the disciples of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave were almost completely annihilated, and even the "sect-protecting treasure," the Black-Armored Medicine Man, had been destroyed...
Kong Sen felt that his previous thought that Lin Xiao might capsize in the gutter was naive to the point of stupidity!
How could the Prince of Zhenbei, an invincible commander, be careless and underestimate the enemy?
What he brought were not family members, but female war gods!
On the high slope, Great Elder, watching this scene, looked ashen, and the bone flute in his hand fell to the ground.
He hadn't expected the Medicine Man General to directly defeat Lin Xiao, but he thought if it could just self-destruct in front of Lin Xiao, there should have been a chance.
But he didn't expect... that it wouldn't even be able to get close!?
This is the man who could water his horses in the northern desert, rule the barbarian tribes, and establish immortal achievements for the Central Plains!?
